Hi everyone !! I recently played the NTE beta and wanted to share my initial impressions from it. And yes, there is a lot of content that wasn't covered (I thought the Tetris "gear" system was fairly interesting) in the interest of keeping the video shorter, so I could talk about the two main points - combat, and the world itself - the good, and the bad. Only time will tell how things will change across future betas and the eventual full release, but I thought this would be a good starting point for those interested in the game to get a general idea!
Wasn't expecting an NTE video so soon! I'm super hyped for the exploration side of things(Specially the driving) even if they don't focus on the combat that much.
Thank you for making this video. I hope to see more NTE videos from you (if you enjoy playing it). Since you have played all of the open-world gacha games especially ToF, I have always been interested in hearing your thoughts about this game. Btw just curious, will you also try out Infinity Nikki? 😏
Heard u get to run a restaraunt and even have to go to the store to pickup food items. Money made can be used to buy and furnish apts and car stuff. Not everyones thing but i love the life sim potential in this game. Sets it apart. Other characters walking with you is a nice touch
I hope they keep cooking with the game, specially the combat cause they have amazing graphics and from what I've seen some unique characters aswell I'm so hyped for this game as someone who loved Tower of Fantasy. And am very truly excited for NTE
You cut off the scream at the end...that was the best part. There's so much more that you haven't discovered yet in regard to the game system (gearing, character advancements, housing, corpa, etc) and overworld exploration points (anomaly), but the best part of that is finding it out for yourself. I do hope that they polish up the bugs and combat for global CBT and launch. Even if it's not the primary focus in the game I do feel its still important for it to be responsive.
the housing system also rly good, you can buy furniture and decorations on openworld and then put it in your house, many house also has many different design. I can already tell ppl will flex their room and house in co op.
Honestly, I wish you specified in the video title that it's about your first impressions with the first closed beta test - I feel like calling it just First Impressions suggests this the finalized, released game. I'm glad you liked the game world and exploration though, and I love tour gremlin model.
been watching a lot of reviews and video about this game. All I can say is I like the gta/saintrow vibes of exploring the city with vehicles and the city itself, but not much for the characters and combat kits but I do want to try it when release.
yeah, I dont know why these games didnt add more open world interactions. like there some potentials to be more but these devs barely touch it. I'm not even asking immediately add bunch of stuffs, one by one each patch are fine
The immersion event experience is most appealing IMO.. its already decent quality for cbt version. The combat still not polish enough. Let them cook for now
Funny how things very familiar to stuff from ToF(perfect dodge triggering something, something special like 'discharge' at changing weapon if a meter is full) is suddenly copied from wuwa.
@@Maygi yeah , maybe try to talk about it similar to ToF then to wuwa, but i can see in the end there is no win win solution because people will just say whatever they want. Overall it is a good video, keep up the good work!!
@@Maygi That's fair, just the tone for me felt like that. I can imagine how mentioning that it is similar to ToF in ways would rather scare some people away anyway :)
Nothing can replace combat. The story will end, and the environment will become boring, but combat always keeps me engaged. I still play Wuwa because of combat. ZZZ is just button mash, which became boring fast. I'm certain NTE would have zero appeal to me if this is the level of combat they're offering.
Yeah… was open to checking it out until she said that it came from hotta studio 💀 Already saw an in-depth review on that game and it has power creep every new character they make and quality is not guaranteed unlike wuwa lol.
ok combat guy but can u explain what's the different between ZZZ and wuwa? bcs i've played both, got jinhsi and build a team in wuwa and also got ellen and zhuyuan n build a team in ZZZ. to me they're the same, has perfect dodge, parry, 3 switch characters button mash. the only different thing is camera angle and wuwa selling "openworld experience" just like how every wuwa players hyped for Rinacista but the envirotment doesn't matter?
@@tornadoofterror1481 Will you call Flappy Birds a skill-based game? I would. Because every defeat punishes you, but overcoming every tunnel rewards you. 1. ZZZ's combat is overshadowed by the TV system, playing 30 minutes on a TV doesn't keep you in the mood to enjoy combat 2. The dodge isn't necessary, opposite to Flappy Birds, overcoming tunnel/dodge isn't satisfying because there isn't any punishment for otherwise. 3. Ultimate is A**. 3000 points, single ult is a bad mechanic. 4. The intro, outro in Wuwa is an intellectually charged event. I have to keep tabs on my rotation, also dodge everytime, if not, a couple of hits from mobs will kill me. ZZZ characters don't die against mobs as they do very little damage. The NTE event after dodge doesn't give me the same level of satisfaction as the Concentro mechanic in Wuwa. It's the lack of punishment in ZZZ that makes skill play unrewarding and obsolete. Openworld experience feels amazing for a couple of weeks, then it becomes normal. It's more like a novelty. You buy a sports car and feel amazing for a couple of weeks, then it becomes a daily thing. That's why a lot of rich guys create companies or get jobs just to get intellectually challenged. All beautiful environments will become boring after a while.
Is this game really as good as youtuber say? There are some good stuff in it, but the more I think about it I kind doubt more...And I'm not a youtuber or doing live stream so I do not deserve a chance to play.
I really liked the animations and cutscenes + open world but the character design + combat ui/style being so close to ZZZ, I will probably try but not enjoy just like I didn't enjoy ZZZ sponge system
The characters design already meh, to much tof mix stuff. Lacking character personality and identity. Without much love and lore to characters how can they beat hoyo or kuro.
NTE looks interesting but I think I still prefer Ananta for its aesthetic and fast traversal mechanic. I hope they do a beta soon so we can try and compare both games.
NTE is quite literally the first open world gacha game where you can not only drive vehicles, but also own homes and manage shops. How different do you want it to be?
@@AndreiJoji name-calling right out the gate, I'd bet you don't even know what that word "shill" means People nowadays, can't even think for themselves to come up with a good fitting insult, just regurgitate words they don't even know the meaning of, so not a surprise they are not fitting at all.
have you played tof classic/reboot? Has 0 powercreep compared to genshin or wuwa, and those are singleplayer games, dupes don't matter unlike those games were dmg increase goes over 150% to c6, where f2ps get a decent amount of standard pulls and can also buy dupes easily, unlike those games where they literally give you 20 or less standard pulls per patch, also f2ps can easily a6 units because gacha is cheaper, mmo btw not singleplayer They know how to balance, its just that main server is for casuals and lazy whales that like powercreep and easier game hi3 and pgr, which aren't even their first game on both companies, have superpowercreep compared to their newest releases, old powercreep game doesn't mean all their next games gonna be the same

Easy Mode: Open world traversal
Hard Mode: Open world traversal while actually abiding by the traffic laws :P
For the invisible wall (in roads) i would´ve placed a tollway building of sorts, where they reject your credit card for being a menace on the road
Wasn't expecting an NTE video so soon! I'm super hyped for the exploration side of things(Specially the driving) even if they don't focus on the combat that much.
Came to try out ToF devs since I didn’t get to play ToF when it first came out, stayed for the surprisingly good exploration
Thank you for making this video. I hope to see more NTE videos from you (if you enjoy playing it). Since you have played all of the open-world gacha games especially ToF, I have always been interested in hearing your thoughts about this game.

Cool video, really excited to try NTE next year now

I feel like they should go all in the casual route with the life Sim aspect
Thanks for the preview!
the ending wrecked me LMAO
Cant wait to try it myself. im so excited
Let's go Maygi
Honestly, I wish you specified in the video title that it's about your first impressions with the first closed beta test - I feel like calling it just First Impressions suggests this the finalized, released game. I'm glad you liked the game world and exploration though, and I love tour gremlin model.
😂 that ending
LMAO. Best moment of her livestream.
She cut out the scream, that was the best part.
100% agree with you on the Open world point.
Gremolin got isekai train kun'd
Ayyy niceee, thanks once again for your hardwork maygi ❤
welcome back, Maygi!
been watching a lot of reviews and video about this game. All I can say is I like the gta/saintrow vibes of exploring the city with vehicles and the city itself, but not much for the characters and combat kits but I do want to try it when release.
Maygi, have you played any of the GTA games? You should.
yeah, I dont know why these games didnt add more open world interactions. like there some potentials to be more but these devs barely touch it. I'm not even asking immediately add bunch of stuffs, one by one each patch are fine
It's just CBT
Maygigi is 37 years old.
And I'm gonna touch you

Didn't know it was from Hotta. That's honestly a deal breaker.
white haired main character ? im sold.
ToF 2 😮😮😮
I worry the game's gonna run into the issue of "Jack of all trades, master of none"
ngl that open world looks real nice but if their combat is that meh i'd might have to pass. im not into solo RP-ing
Funny how things very familiar to stuff from ToF(perfect dodge triggering something, something special like 'discharge' at changing weapon if a meter is full) is suddenly copied from wuwa.
i'm not accusing anyone of copying lol i'm just drawing similarities to help my active audience understand easier

@@dandyshark6094 hey doofus , you know she play wuwu too ? Go look at her video history,.
you cannot tell me they didn't take idea from wuwa and genshin
Nyooom!
maygi, youre not even ready for your own streams dont expect to be readdy for anything
Meow
HOTTA? I dunno, I think Towe of Fantasy had good potential but they fukced it up so hard. I hope they won't do the same for NTE
U think any studio can do well on their first ever games? Even hoyo used to make shitty mobile game before hi3
True, I hope they learned from it
So game looks good in everything but combat, for me the combat is a big part so I'm disappointed as it looks stiff but will keep an eye
im very skeptical about HOTTA honestly but I hope this game does well
I’m very excited for this game but the combat animations are terrible. Hope they improve them. The FMC’s Ultimate is particularly bad.
Lack of attack variation is a bit disappointing to hear 😮💨
Nothing can replace combat. The story will end, and the environment will become boring, but combat always keeps me engaged. I still play Wuwa because of combat. ZZZ is just button mash, which became boring fast. I'm certain NTE would have zero appeal to me if this is the level of combat they're offering.

@@user-rk1ck1hw9iturning the game down before it even came out just because of the developer is not exactly clever.

Lmao perfect world, the company that kills MMO's as a hobby
Quit the video after seeing the Hotta Studio logo, thanks anyway
Is this game really as good as youtuber say? There are some good stuff in it, but the more I think about it I kind doubt more...And I'm not a youtuber or doing live stream so I do not deserve a chance to play.
I mean there aren't many choices to play unreal Engine 5 games that being free with high quality gameplay
I really liked the animations and cutscenes + open world but the character design + combat ui/style being so close to ZZZ, I will probably try but not enjoy just like I didn't enjoy ZZZ sponge system
i think this is the most unimpressive game ive seen in a long time, everything is the definition of MID
How dare you criticize NTE now you will be cursed by
No wait we aren't kuroshills
Good game, i hope they keep improving
😂

I had my eye on that one too! We'll have to wait and see for when it comes out ~
" they need cook it bit more"
no they can't cook an already burnt shit
FIRST :)
Wuwa killer
😂😂😂
Why do all these gatcha games play and act exactly the same? That's so boring. Do something different already!
NTE is quite literally the first open world gacha game where you can not only drive vehicles, but also own homes and manage shops. How different do you want it to be?
If u want something different go play game that is not a gacha game. There's a lot, stop whinning
Bro there's only been few like this, do you want gachas to go back to chibis?
Genuinely, different like what? Examples of what you would want to see.
@ I’m not a game developer but after seeing 40+ gatcha games come out this year all with the same setup, it’s boring now.
So, just in time for 2.0, the WuWa Killer has come. So much for Rinascita now, huh?
I don't think, it's wuwa killer bc I saw leaks 2.0 and it's peak
So basically, it's a half-assed WuWa, half-assed GTA, half-assed zZZ & half-assed Genshin. Got it.
Pass. Can't wait for Azur Promilia.
elements of your favourite things together, but don't try it, you might get something overall good for once for a change
@@GalarisTFM and there's the bot or shill! whatever you kids call yourselves nowadays. lmao

@@GalarisTFM i aint reading all that, buddy. stay mad, bot 🤣
@@AndreiJoji I knew it, you can't even read
Expect shit optimization, hacks, and power creep every 2 months. It's Hotta after all
It's a single player game not mmo like tof
@@icephantomi9762 watch it have all those problems anyways
U think hotta didn't learn from their first games?

hi3 and pgr, which aren't even their first game on both companies, have superpowercreep compared to their newest releases, old powercreep game doesn't mean all their next games gonna be the same
@Tilin2461 the reboot is for CN only, if im not mistaken
