" - The Shorekeeper banner is awful. They knew people will roll on it no matter what because we need a third healer, so they doubled down and hand-picked the least desired 4*s in the game, which made me start the patch with a sour taste in my mouth. (Chixia might be okay, but I already had her C6) - There is no info on roguelite mode's improvement or if it even will return at all this patch. - The new area feels... empty. There is barely anything worth exploring. - The story itself was extremely rushed. There were a lot of heavy and important things that happened during the story, but none was given appropriate time and attention, we kept jumping to the next one heavy thing, and this kept repeating like a dozen times, so I couldn't really emotionally feel invested in anything, despite really really wanting to. - Shorekeeper was practically the only character in the story, and she kept repeating the same 2-3 things such as "I will die for you" a dozen times, so it lost even whatever little emotional impact it could have had, and made me struggle to feel for her. - Youhu just appeared to deliver an item. No other relevance - No Encore or Camellya, despite us visitting their hometown for the first time. - The game keeps trying to explain what is happening with made-up technobabble, but then it sometimes just gives up and starts doing mentally incomprehensible things, like the last 30 minutes of the story. If you don't want me to understand, then don't try to explain, so I can just vibe with a turned off mind, but don't keep jumping between the two. "
Biggest pro for me, MC is actually interesting and motivates you to build and play as them. Like I have everyone since release except Changli, and I’m playing MC just because of how they’re reflected in the story, it’s so good!
ik you mean from a gameplay perspective and i def agree. it's interesting bc my biggest con about the game is all the mc glazing as they go on their journey to build the largest harem possible with no subtlety.
I think they only offer half dedicated solutions. I say I want more level up materials! I want to build and tryout more characters! We do get it but all of it is event based, and so much are copy pasted from genshin. double drop week etc. I want 100% banners like in Snowbreak, add more pulls for it, 20 or so, but it's guaranteed. Winning is the 50/50 is nice, but it's far worse to lose it. Winning feels good but it feels like you already earned the win. Losing feels outright awful! Second place! All that work, for nothing. Who enjoys that? Why copy that? I get it, genshin was successful so if they copy it and make it just a liiitle bit better they will earn the megabucks.
@@dongarippo7279 the 50/50 system is nothing new... It's been done in games before genshin, if not there is a 50/50 system in a lot of games where you can lose up to 2 times but 3rd time is guaranteed. Not to mentioned their weapon banner is 100% guarantee unlike genshin. Saying wuwa copied genshin is so dumb when wuwa has features that genshin has but 10 times better and better qol. Wuwa has double rate drops but so is other gacha games other than genshin lol, not to mentioned the double drop event occurs 2-3 times per patch, while for genshin is not that often. Wuwa has 50/50 system on their chara banner but they are extremely generous in terms of rewards. I'm f2p, have like 4 5* weapons and every limited chara except jiyan, not to mentioned i'm unlucky i lost all the 50/50 and get the charas around 60-80 pulls. Right now i still have 15k gems even after pulling so much bc the game is generous and doesn't require heavy grind like genshin. So stop complaining lol. If they do implement what you suggested then there would be barely any revenue, as the game is already generous, hence why snowbreak is not that popular and their revenue isn't on the top lmao. (yes i play all 3 games) Asking for 100% guarantee and more level up materials doesn't make it a gacha anymore and just basically asking devs to help you beat the game in a week lmao. That's not how gacha games work, you aren't supposed to get every single chara as f2p (except for games like afk arena where you need to pull a lot to get dupes, so having all charas doesn't matter) Even one of the most generous games like azur lane it's not easy for f2p to own every single character. I'm building 4 teams rn, finish all of them in under a week in terms of talents and levels + weapons, and it was barely a grind when it comes to materials (if you actually explore and open chest), i still have a shit ton of exp mats left, so idk how you're running out of them bc i barely grind and i get a lot. The materials required to level up isnt even as painful as genshin as their drops are higher and it cost less materials to level up...You complaints seem a lot more like tiny personal nitpicks bc you are too lazy to spend 10 minutes using 240 resins everyday on materials rather than "dedicated solutions". The point of gacha game is the rng aspect of it. Sorry if this is too long and you ain't reading allat bc you can't comprehend basic sentences but these nitpicks are so dumb i feel the need to call it out lol
The cutscene quality and the smoothness on some gameplay parts like the more mid-end side of the main quest are just "WOW, WHAT THE HECK IS THIS..... IT'S AMAZING"
I have a pretty old PC and the start of playing WuWa was kinda rough, I had to lower some of the settings to play smoothly and there were still some chokes here and there. I have no idea what kind of magic Kuro did, but after 1.3 everything works and looks so much better, I've never expected this game could run like this on my computer. The new map, as well as Shorekeeper, is gorgeous, I took so many screenshots during the story and exploration, and the music??? Man, the OST is on next level this patch. It also feels crazy to be heard by the devs and see the things you're asking for to be implemented so fast. They even teased echo presets in their last developer's message! Wuwa definitely has a great future ahead and I can't wait to see what they're going to cook for 1.4 and 2.0.
Kuro does cook... theyve made huge changes... no ones here to compare... everyones here to have fun. We are consumers... NOT THE PEOOLE WORKING IN THE DAMN COMPANIES LMAO just enjoy the games you love
@@rushalias8511 yeah that is true... it runs on unreal engine 4 so it is demanding... I play on pc with somewhat decent specs so I've never had issues but yeah it's not too good to be playing on a lower end pc or phone
THIS, competition between these companies only serve us consumers/players better. Just objectively praise the good and criticize the bad, no need to go overboard with taking sides, doom posting, and other toxic behaviors. It'll only do us good if these rival companies learn more of the good things from each other.
WUWA is one the game that I feel like I want to play as MC during the story, not only because their lore but also because they are meta in game so you can solo the whole story with just rover not worrying about the combat (my Rover is built), you feel more attached to the story
Another good thing they added is a new limited time event where you can fight boss in. Co-op mode. Gives a mmo vibe boss raid. We wanted that for long in genshin.
Which is not surprising since the devs talked about that their initial vision for WuWa was heavily inspired by Death Stranding and they are well known to be a bunch of Nier fanboys and -girls. That Nier collab in PGR was not a coincident.
Black shores was pure Nier Automata, the pods, the music, also getting the pod to follow you around and shoot puzzles and the one you get for shooting puzzles too as a utility, just awesome.
If version 1.3 is great, just wait till you see 1.4 coming, it's gonna be fire! (I'm saying it 'cause one of the most hyped characters from Wuthering Waves is coming).
It's about preference and opinion, you might not like it but alot of others could like it which is fine each person has their own opinion, me and person above liked it
sadly i dont feel anything towards Shorekeeper as a character because how poorly they showed her as a person, so there was no empathy for her. but yeah last cutscene was cinema, and map was good, specially minibosses and challenges.
Wuthering Waves did absolutely great job in this 1.3 story. I think this is the 1st time we are getting genuine Romance, Other games sometimes feel like we are talking to NPC's ( aside from cutscenes ) ... Even when we are talking to another playable character the stiffness is still there, but in WuWa I think the characters has emotions in normal conversations. And this is also ( I think ) 1st time we are seeing another character in the world whenever we want even after the quest is done.
HSR has some of the characters out there in the world (and we can talk to them as well to some degree), but I agree, seeing the same in wuwa feels delightful. It would actually be even _more_ delightful if we could contact some of them via Pangu Terminal (think Metal Gear series' codec conversations in a sense?) for either some idle chit-chat or some in-context experience/info exchange. Now _that_ would be a kickass move by Kuro.
mobile controller support was such a game changer for me - i sold my PS5 and bought a beefy phone to cover my gaming needs - i loved the portability but WuWa (any mobile game for that matter) is a nightmare to play with touchscreen cntrols - thanks to the devs for thiking about gamers like me ❤ - i didnt need to spend on 1.3 as i got Shorekeeper with my saved astrites but i decided to spend on her weapon as a thank you to the devs😊
Using shorekeeper ult can change the sky into Aurora when you look from far place.Same with the sky from tethys underground place..Every waypoints can heal you now
1.3 weakest point i must say is a lot of scifi jargon used, for me whos used to the concept its nothing but for newcomer/casual reader it might be a bit daunting, i suggest rereading the ingame archives its also little bit pacing issue in the middle but overall it was great for new players: - raise your MC, he's actually strong you can even use him to clear any endgame content like the tower or holograms - you can buy 2 sequences (copies) of rated up ssr on the shop with ingame currency (which you get by doing gacha) - limited weapon gacha pity has no 5050 you are 100% guaranteed - standard weapon gacha is 100% guaranteed (you can select whatever weapon you want and can change it anytime) so dont be scared to gacha any weapon theres no losing here - CONTROLLER SUPPORT ON MOBILE (ANDRO/IOS) 🎉 2.0 patch (around 80 days from now) you can change MC gender freely + costume for MC
Yeah I agree with the techno babble. It's a pet peeve for me when scifi games do it and shove random pop science words in their dialogue to sound "smarter". I wish they would stop and just write natural sounding dialogue lines.
Okay so for anyone who STILL has a problem with optimization: that's already a device issue in your part. The game is already running good on midrange device/pc/laptop even on 1.1. There are also weekly small patches to fix any stuttering that were present on 1.0. It's just your tribalistic behavior that prevents you from enjoying the game. Treat Wuthering Waves like how you treat Genshin Impact: like a game. Unless you make playing Genshin your whole personality, which is a f*cking sad existence. And if anyone tried to call me a f*cking Kurobot: I probably play Genshin longer than half of the commenters here, and invested more time in the game than a third of the people here. And yes, I am still playing the game, even with its imperfection because I still love the game. I love Genshin, but not Mihoyo and its cult.
I had a better PC to run WuWa, but feels like 1.3 update feels as unoptimized as pre-patched 1.2 for some reason. And sucks that not everyone got to play this game due to the demand of a mid-high end device.
Lmao, being confident while stating a pure BS biased opinion is funny af. You didn't even tested every single device to acclaim that it has no optimization issues on said devices, don't generalize your experience to all. If you're living under the rock, a lot of playerbase left because of the performance issues (specially in mobile) which are mostly still present with the latest version. I'll give you my own experience so you can stfu. There's no major problem for my PC with 4070 at high settings but using a laptop with 2060 often suffers stuttering and fps drop issues even at medium settings specially at fighting bosses. You know what's worse, the mobile optimization. I have a SD 8 Gen 2 processor with 12GB RAM but still can't run smoothly at high settings. Already used different optimizing and cleaner apps but still the same. I can run other demanding games at 60 fps with high settings so who's at fault? I'm a day 1 Genshin player who wants to try a different open-world gacha game but the optimization issues and wuwa-glazer/kurobot fans like you who denies the problem ruins the game for me. I like the gameplay but might as well quit if the issue persist.
the story is so good. I just started playing last month and won my first 50/50 for Shorekeeper, I'll be really sad if I don't get Jiyan but she was sooo worth it. its a struggle because everyone is hot AND fun to play >:(
@@WhenMarkers her damage is crap but her buffing and healing is top tier, even better than verina at buffing. If you enjoy her as dps more power to you mate
Considering i play Wuwa just as much as genshin maybe a little bit more my answer is yeah. It started off rough sure but most like service games do, can't iron out the kinks without real player feedback.
im very happy you are playing this game now (i didnt knew you were!) i was a fan of your videos before. i always watch your genshin vids. but since i left genshin and played permanently on wuwa. Im very happy that you are giving praise to the game im currently in loved to!~ i subbed
I actually enjoy doing the surveys for feedback they sent out because they actually listen. A lot of QOL were added because of suggestions made by players. Stuff like the gun gadget for puzzles that require guns, character building resources (so they added more events with more rewards, such as the frequent double drop events). Even just more events and rewards in general. Also I haven't 100% Black Shores yet because I play other games lol. Like... I think the intention is to have content that you spread out and play. You're not supposed to play WuWa as your "main" game because you'll get burnt out fast, and neither you, nor the developers want that. So the thing about Shorekeeper's butterfly form is that it's not much better for exploration than the basic traversal abilities. In short bursts, to cross water, to pick up stuff on the way, sure. But it uses stamina to do so while normal sprinting does not. She also can't ascend walls in that form (plus she's draining stamina so it's unlikely you'll get up high anyway). So if you're covering longer distances/need verticality, she's worse than just doing stuff normally. That's one of the reasons why I love the game. Her ability isn't needed for the traversal to be upgraded or feel good, because the base traversal abilities are already very good.
They've already listened to feedback, and they even mentioned the fact that Verina is overworked and we can finally give her rest. So they're definitely listening lmao
i think what makes it so fast to 100% in exploration is that we can use the chest mapper in every region not like other games where its specific to a region and it takes weeeks to get it, plus the mapper shows every chest in the area not just one, its hard to miss
Doro thank you for covering this game. The devs, the music, combat, movement, graphics, exploration, characters, all 9/10. Honestly the only thing the game struggles with currently is lack of content. Which maybe not I play every day
I enjoyed wuwa for its gameplay and it has improved well too. But they rushed the story in 1.3. I don't mind romance but they rushed it so much especially in the second half of the story, it felt a bit cringe. Well, hope they will manage to improve their story telling
Is it rushed? I feel like it has quite good duration for a story quest. The yapping are lessened and they opted to "show" more than to "tell", which should be the norm with storytelling.
If you're on phone, try it on PC. I don't play WuWa but I know it will definitely be better visual wise and also for device's health if you own a competant PC.
If you do, just saying it's not increasing 500% Crit Damage, but increasing her Crit Damage to 500% Cap. So you don't need crit damage stats anymore, just all in HP and Spectro Damage but remember to have at least 230% Energy Regen on stats board to maximize her passive!
@@kavier2581 Oh yep, i already got her signature couple hrs ago, it was insane luck, i got it in 24 pulls, 4 more pulls than zhezhi weapon and 6 Yao. I hope my luck wont go away, i need jihnsi weapon so badly.
best thing in 1.3 they make every teleport nexus heals you, so you dont need to go resonance nexus anymore, just go to any teleport and here you go ...your HP or dying resonator revive and heals them edit : i forgot if you use shorekeeper liberation at night or evening her side effect will summon aurora ...a vast aurora that you can see from far and its beautiful
No, should be 2.0 As 1.4 is jiyans banner its prob another filler patch, well hope its a good filler patch tho Edit: jiyan is 2nd half, and camellya 1.4 :3
1.1 update quests and 1.3 quests looked cinematic, which made like "oh wow this game is not a gasha game anymore, it's a triple A game now", i really appreciate their work an i hope the best for kuro games 🙏
for me the reason that 1.3 wuwa MSQ is good is because it is not like super long and not draggy. Plus, it does not end with a major cliff hanger... Adulting is hard and medium length/short length MSQ now suits me more lol
Although i rarely watch you (ww content only), cant help but admire how healthy your community is whenever you stream ww content. And the comments here are all tame from both fandoms. Thank you for the stream, the community you have grown reflects how much of a great streamer you are.
I love WuWa, but I agree about the events and story length. What I do like about the WuWa events is that they stay for a long time, so you don't feel pressured to finish them asap, but can take your time. As someone who is not much into fighting, I just wish there were more exploration events and short story driven events, because most events that happen in WuWa are (reoccurring) fighting events. Fighting events in gacha games feel like (bad) grinding to me, so I usually only do one or two stages or leave them out completely.
I loved the 1.3 update. however, i wouldnt call shorekeeper a "better" verina - its 2 healers / buffers who focus on different things. Verina heals way, WAY more than shorekeeper does, while shorekeeper mainly focuses on boosting your damage alot more than verina does while providing less healing, but adds an auto revive like C6 barbara. in other words, neither one nor the other is better, it really depends on your playstyle and how "skilled" you are in the game, as wuwa limits the player by their own skill while genshin mostly limits players to their understanding of what abilites of which characters work together in the best possible way. I do agree with the "we need some more" statement, though. I had all events and both new map parts done to 100% on day 1, i loved it, and now im back to collecting character materials daily since my accounts is basically literally maxed out - something ive never done in any "open world" game since explorations usually feels sluggish and like a chore (looking at you, genshin). But, with wuwa, literally every aspect of the game is fun. Definitely the best gacha in my eyes, by a long shot. I gotta confess that I didn't touch genshin since day 2 after the natlan update, just as a comparison...
reading this really reflect my own experience. my girlfriend kept asking me to play Genshin, and I have 6 limited characters on AR21. I just login Genshin to collect rewards, but I think Genshin exploration is kinda slow for me and the combat is sluggish (refer to Genshin v1, don't compare to v3++ where explorations hero released). what you need in Genshin is team composition, elemental reaction, and bombastic damage number. but in Wuwa, I saw one content creator can kill lv120 mini boss using unranked hero just by playing with skill (parry/counter). myself and my girlfriend both play wuwa though, and she died multiple times yesterday doing co-op event vs inferno gangster. I like Genshin for its vibrant world, but I love Wuwa for every other aspect. the day Wuwa update 1.3 released which is Sunday, I managed to 100% its content on the same day. was saving 17k astrite to pull Camellya, but when SK is here I told my girlfriend that I will forever regret if I skip this waifu. so I pulled her and won the rate off. the following Monday, I didn't know what got into me. I blindly spent more astrite hoping to get 1x her copy (to extend ult duration & area effect). but during the 7th batch pull (pity 70+), voila got 3x her copy. now she is my lv90 support healer. while baizhi & verina still lv80 for bench warmers. now since Wuwa content is waiting for update 1.3 phase 2, I fill my time to play Genshin as both game are supposed to be coexist not to kill each other.
@@seetobi Yeah, i get exactly what you mean. i killed multiple level 120 bosses with level 20-40 characters, at this time my main dps was Danjin, a 4 star character which is high risk, high reward. she still is easily my 2nd best built character in the game with a crit split of 101% crit rate over 262% crot damage, and basically now the main dps of my 2nd team. i didn't even fully realize I wasnt supposed to beat these mini on-map bosses on release day - i just tried and managed to do so because it was hella fun. the game at no point felt like a chore or something annoying to go through, everything is fast paced, super fun and the combat is just the cherry on top. my verina is actually on c4 and shes AWESOME, but i have gotten so good at the game that shorekeeper just is a little better on my main team, she has boosted my dps' rotation damage from around 700k to over 1 million. i do have to play more carefully again like i had to do when wuwa just released and i played a character whos constantly on 1 HP, but honestly? thats half of the fun. verina will now keep my 2nd team for the abyss / tower Safe, while my shorekeeper semi-heals and boosts damage for my first team while she also adds around 60k damage on top of my rotation with her super intro skill. i also only started genshin for my girlfriend, haha. she needed someone who understand the common system of MMORPGs (equipment, abilities etc) to explain it to her and carry her. I wouldn't even play genshin at all of it wasn't for her, because the game just feels super slow and even logging in feels like a chore. i havent touched a single sidequest since Inazuma. and i wont ever do it. literally just gave my account to an irl friend who could barely do the abyss on his own account recently since i thought that if i dont wanna play the game anyway, i csn at least give my Account with alot of very, very well built characters to someone who'd have a blast with it. all the account needs to be godlike is patience to do all the annoying stuff like literally all quests except for main quests, reputation quests and anything else thats just annoying, aka collecting stuff to level the trees / fountains and so on. meanwhile, i literally even maxed my Chef level in wuwa even though it ate ressources like crazy. i literally only have daily quests and some few achievements left to get primos or asterites or however you wanna call them, everything else is on 100% and my achievements are between 92 and 100% as well. all thats missing is stuff i literally cant do, like performing intro skills of characters i do not own 100 Times and stuff like that. also just saying, camellya has been my favourite design since release and i literally have been saving up for her as well. i just legit did 10 pulls on SK at 0 pity and was like 'if i get her, i get her. i have c4 verina, i dont NEED her.' low and behold, i got her, and her weapon after 20 as well. so i got lucky enough to still save Most of my stuff for camellya, my beloved.
My biggest gripe is kinda how nobody understood the overall story or lore. Everything's top tier from the animation to gameplay but it's 1.3 and Rover can already create a metaphysical world? Their own subreddit is confused as to what happened
Hey if you haven't seen it yet with Shorekeeper, build her burst up and then go to the top of the mountain where you fight Jue and cast her burst, there is a neat little effect in the sky when you look around. I agree that I wish there was more to do with the Blackshores cause I finished everything pretty quick, maybe like more portal minigames/side quests would have been neat.
Look, If only, if only....... They create a game that not an open world, I would definitely keep playing. I love exploration, but one is enough, I play genshin
Not to mention the mc for the game has an important role in the story and isnt irrelevant in gameplay and actually keeps up with other 5 stars. For those wondering, if u want better voice acting i suggey yall pick male rover. The va for male rover does a way better job at acting out the scenes and is one of the better voice actors in the game and does the screaming scenes way better. Female rover sounds like she is getting f'd in the ass when she screams and yells. Its funny because a scene will be all serious but then she screams and i just burst out laughing outta nowhere. Thats why i created a separate account to play as male rover in the story because its more engaging.
I agree that the story could have been longer, one way to do it would have been to split it in two, with the first half ending after shorekeeper's sacrifice and the second half being about rescuing her. Obviously you would have to add some extra stuff and change some stuff to make it work, but I think it would have been worth it.
I would say, we are all so used to the Genshin style of yapping with random NPCs and honestly, the quest was 4 hours long, time just fly by because it was enjoyable, WuWa does one thing way better than hoyo games is that it great playable content in the story quests, like the last parkour scene when we try to rescue shorekeeper, that's a AAA game my man
@@deeptobhattacharyya3249 yeah that's what wuwa does better in story quests than hoyo games... adding various types of games and cinematic scenes... but you have to agree that the storyline or I mean the overall story is mid at best... the story is not that interesting since it's just a "dating" quest
I agree with longer story and more events I'm done with everything under two days after the update came that's how easy the exploration is and lore was too good I compeleted it in one go🗿
I believe we're still getting more this update, there's Encore's companion quest for example and few other events, they're just spread out during the version's period.
This is my problem with all of the big gachas atm, they're too easy to no-life and get everything done immediately. A day or two of excitement then back to the artefact mines for the rest of the update
@@Natsu yep I am not complaining as I only play wuwa as of now and no other games so it's understandable why I ended up maxing out blackshores in 2 days itself
@@HellBent_ yep and now I'm already awaiting camelya but still as compared to other gachas who stands tall in terms of challenges graphics gameplay and QOL updates so they're doing well and good
I also felt the same way with the story. Had we learned more of her connection with the MC, it would have made certain scenes way better. If it was a 2 parter, it would have been great. VA is S tier though.
W update. I watched another vid talking about how Kuro unlike other devs actually make the MC good, and it shows that you can do this and not reducing sales by making clear the bond character's bonds with the Rover. Shorekeeper is it. Didn't really care if she was good (she is) but her connection to the Rover is what sold her. I also love that the Rover is so involved with the story, and (spoiler ig?) the scenes around the end makes me *aeugh*. Titanfall 2 stuff.
I think the opposite, kinda. Most characters often feel like they don't exist outside the rover, theres no dynamics between the characters themselves. And this DOES hurt their sales actually, wuwa admittedly isnt quite there yet with hoyo playernumbers, but even for it size the game does just alright sales number wise. Zhezhi is incredibly broken but her banner completely underperformed, because people didn't really care about her.
I agree that while the content they added with 1.3 is top tier, there isn’t enough of it. Shorekeeper is probably the best looking gacha character I’ve ever seen at this point, and I play Genshin, Nikke, and WuWa. Something minor I want them to add: make it so Rover uses currently equipped weapon in cutscenes
I have a google doc of just a list of my thoughts and suggestions to add to their feedback surveys. Since they constantly prove that they do read through them. The game is far from perfect and still has some things I personally find not that great or flawed. Like the resource issue with echo exp or be able to fodder with unleveled echoes. Either way, it’s still 1.3 and they have done an amazing job making the player experience better and better. They did address in improving things in regards to echoes in future updates so that’s good ❤
After seeing the new imaginarium theatre I feel like to install wuwa. I dont wanna build charecters i dont like tbh. Genshin keeps getting worse while wuwua is improving.
@@artemshenev7422 IMO the end game content in WUWA is much more challenging and fun, building echoes is easier and not as tedious compared to artifacts.
Wuwa just keeps getting better. Credit to Kuro for sure. Players that quit at 1.0 due to the shoddy launch are missing out. Now they just need to port it to PS5.
Imo the only thing lacking from 1.3 Main Story is the length, it's way too short and can't give enough depth to the character like how they did in 1.1 and 1.2, and even I feel Main Story in 1.1 and 1.2 is still short. Given that players have authority over how to do Main Story via skip button, I think Kuro can make Main Story longer for better context and char building in the future patches.
for me wuwa give me something new to the gacha game set the bar higher like its new AAA game, i feel like when i play yakuza and i play dmc its just hit different love the game even love kuro too. Kuro cooking for real🔥🔥
@@Arrmorant nah i play too much AAA games, for me wuwa is special even the new region feel like nier and death stranding. Remember there is no perfect games for everyone and like i said this game give something new to the gacha game. Go play genshin more i know what player you are and claiming having worst performance with 3080 computer and change to 4070 and change again to 2060 prove that incosistance you are hahaha even my laptop with igpu been enjoying wuwa without bug
@Doro, in Shorekeepers ult, if you can get shorekeeper at the end of the rotation back, she drops a nuke. So trying doing Shorekeeper-> Sub DPS -> Main DPS -> Shorekeeper. The fourth stage of the ult is guaranteed crit if you switch into shorekeeper so she needs the crit DMG.
Its a great game and they really inproved it alot. I do agree with u on events though, they need to add more story events aside from main story couse u blast through most of it within a day or two wich is nice but not if u need to wait weeks for the rest of the events. Then again,it is a gacha game so giving me more time to play other games is also a plus. As for Shorekeeper, i want her but Lingyang got in the way....
if youre on mobile it's not worth it my phone battery health went from 95 to 90 after just playing it for 1 month while for genshin it only wetnt from 100 to 98 after 1 and a half year my phone is iphone 13pro its the recommended device for both games
@@sony7949 your phone is released on 2023 Q3 and its 1000 dollars for that price i can buy a land in my country its not worth it not everyone is from america or eu even my iphone was given as a gift for me most of the mobile gaming community has mobile under 500 dollars youre just privilaged
The cinematics were amazing, the lore bombs could have been written into the story a bit better, i got a little confused (but honestly, sometimes it's just the translation having trouble conveying the info the way it was meant to be), but overall this update was amazing. Can't wait to see how the story proceeds after this. In terms of the events tho, there is that co-op event that i CANNOT do because i have no friends to co-op with. Tried solo-ing and couldn't do it. Difficult to do an online match too because the hours i play are very weird for my region so i'll be sitting there waiting for a match for ages. I do hope they'll have more interesting events that aren't just fighting enemies and collecting points, but i do understand that the writing and programming and coding for non-fighting events takes longer if they want to make it interesting enough, so i get why they don't have more of those.
Tbh, im not impressed with 1.3 after finishing it, I’m finding it harder to stay invested in the game due to its declining story quality and lackluster character development but only stayed for meta and pretty characters. While the visuals and animations are consistently amazing, the dialogue and character interactions often feel flat and repetitive. Characters, particularly Rover and Shorekeeper, are written in a way that makes them hard to connect with-Shorekeeper revolves around Rover with little motivation beyond that, and Rover themselves feel unremarkable despite their supposed importance to the plot. The rushed pacing of the story makes it difficult to care about what's happening. We’re thrown into major events like the crisis at the port city without any buildup or emotional investment. Characters like Hoda and Youhou feel irrelevant because they’re introduced but not developed in meaningful ways. The stakes never feel real, as there’s little urgency or emotional depth behind the events, making the whole experience feel empty despite the grandeur of the plot. Overall, while I appreciate the qol, combat and visuals, the weak writing and lack of character growth disapoints me. The story has so much potential, but it consistently falls flat. If the main story doesn’t improve soon, I’m seriously worried about the game’s long-term appeal, but i guess the pretty graphics, cinematics, and combat, qol will mellow that concern.
@@Mariuslorca i would rate its story a 5/10 That being said genshin objectively has 3/10 story. Even if they had the same story that would mean it is a better game in general since every other mechanic is way better than genshins.
Naah compare to genshin the story didn't disappointed. Genshin story is so recycled and still no info about the God just kills the vibes where as Wuwa is dropping lores and revealing who he is
@@aosiel i dont think so, Genshin's story in 1.x Mondstadt ,it is your standard fairly cohesive fantasy story for world building and introductory to the game's world, i would rate it 6/10. In Liyue Stories i would rate it average but i also hate its Main quest for being as rushed as Wuwa Story, so I would rate it 4/10. Though its world building is good. Inazuma Stories are good in general but fell flat on its main Quest for being as as rushed as Liyue so i would rate it similarly with Liyue which is 4/10. Both Sumeru's and Fontaine's stories are 8-9/10 for me, this is were the game went peak. we havent finished Natlan yet so i reserve my judgement. For me, Wuwa's current story rating stands at 5/10 due to its numerous rushed segments that fail to adhere to the 'show, don't tell' principle like Liyue and Inazuma, leaving the world underexplored and overly focused on hurried interactions with Rover. However, I must commend its impressive visuals, thanks to Unreal Engine, along with the superior mobility and combat mechanics that surpass those found in Tower of Fantasy.
note that if you switch back to shorekeeper with her intro skill while her ult is still up and you have both the crit damage AND crit rate buffs(golden ult), her intro changes and her crits are 100%. meaning if you put as much crit damage as possible(mine is 200 right now) and ignore crit rate, you can do a good chunk of damage at the end of each rotation. (the ult ends kinda fast without her c1 so u gotta play the rotations perfectly). to top it off you dont need to build her as a dps to get good damage in this case. I went full healer and tried to get the crits as a bonus on the echoes and she still does good damage
You know a game is good when the only complaint is that there isn't more of it. I totally agree, I hope we get bigger chunks of content and events in the future. And I play this game religiously every day since launch. One if my favorite games right now.
So far, WuWa kinda went from having a meh story to seemingly having one of the best stories out there, considering all of this is still just the exposition to the overall game and world. Only thing that needed improvement is maybe explaining things a bit slower (yes, I am actually asking for more GOOD "yapping', because it's actually underused here). Events, I somewhat agree, I do think the new co-op event is EXTREMELY good, like, it could straightup be its own repeatable endgame with some refinements. But I think this was recorded before that event came out.
@@RealQuarlie one of the best stories out there?? excuse me how? it's just a dating quest and it falls under the "mid" category.... sorry but calling a dating quest "one of the best" is a crime... genshin early patch stories are much better than this even tho they aren't some of the best stories out there although the cinematic scenes carried the quest but the actual storyline is literally mid at best
@@Supreme_Bargainer Genshin in its exposition Phase was also not really that good, which is just expected from an exposition in general. Mondstadt only really had fighting an abyss mage that captured a dragon, and nothing about that Resolved the main plot really, other than telling you to just go to Liyue instead.. There was barely any reason for you to do any of this. Liyue and Inazuma were also for the most part rather bland tbh. When people talk about good story in Genshin, nobody says that Mondstadt, Liyue or Inazuma were "good" (again, they were expositions, lots of yapping and barely any impactful story is expected for the most part). WuWa already being probably almost as good as some parts Sumeru in its later half, already shows some good signs, that the story will be really damn good. And dumbing down the story of WuWa to a dating Simulator is rather unserious. It would be like calling HSR a dating Simulator, because Firefly has a close relationship to the main character in the story. Shorekeeper is literally a created being that was solely made to absorb emotions during laments, in order to feed and calculate them for the Tethys system. Seeing her actually open up in the story somewhat is absolutely expected. Especially since she still tries to suppress those emotions, just so that the people of the Black shores would straightup care less about here, and don't mind about putting her back into the tethys system. She was emotionally unstable for hundreds of years, and literally tried to make herself seem uninteresting, just so she could sacrifice herself without people caring. ANY emotional dialogue with her would very much break her already, since for all her life, she was basically just a machine...
@@Supreme_Bargainer"cinematic scenes carried" 🫵😂📸💥🤡 Edit: Have you seen one character in Genshin lift something in dialogue scenes, please give me one because if you don't. Shorekeeper holding the tea and taking a sip of it is much stronger than every character in Genshin /jk
@@RealQuarlie bruh liyue and Mondstate quests were actually good, like the plot is actually great and interesting... harbingers and archons are much more interesting than anything in wuwa plus the lore behind every quest is so good... Inazuma was a bit rushed but still has a much more interesting plot than wuwa's 1.3 quest like seriously.... raiden shogun vision hunt decree and fatui involvement really carry out the quest... shorekeeper quest is literally just a dating sim... the entire quest is just shorekeeper past and suddenly she fell in love with the rover?? like seriously?? Next we will see how rover and chamelya fell in love 🤦
@@RealQuarlie hsr main penacony plot had nothing to do with firefly and trailblazer's relationship... it's just a side thing... the main thing was saving penacony from the dream and defeating Sunday
I've been playing since it came out, and personally I LOVE the QOL changes they have added. It really feels like they listen to the playerbase, which is really important IMO for its longevity.
Im REALLY liking what Kuro games is doing, listening and improving each patch. Let me know what you all think and if youre still playing Wuwa!
The game had improved incredibly, The only people complaining about optimization are people with low end devices
unfortunately 1.3 is just disappointing ... and there is a really good reddit post about why
"
- The Shorekeeper banner is awful. They knew people will roll on it no matter what because we need a third healer, so they doubled down and hand-picked the least desired 4*s in the game, which made me start the patch with a sour taste in my mouth. (Chixia might be okay, but I already had her C6)
- There is no info on roguelite mode's improvement or if it even will return at all this patch.
- The new area feels... empty. There is barely anything worth exploring.
- The story itself was extremely rushed. There were a lot of heavy and important things that happened during the story, but none was given appropriate time and attention, we kept jumping to the next one heavy thing, and this kept repeating like a dozen times, so I couldn't really emotionally feel invested in anything, despite really really wanting to.
- Shorekeeper was practically the only character in the story, and she kept repeating the same 2-3 things such as "I will die for you" a dozen times, so it lost even whatever little emotional impact it could have had, and made me struggle to feel for her.
- Youhu just appeared to deliver an item. No other relevance
- No Encore or Camellya, despite us visitting their hometown for the first time.
- The game keeps trying to explain what is happening with made-up technobabble, but then it sometimes just gives up and starts doing mentally incomprehensible things, like the last 30 minutes of the story. If you don't want me to understand, then don't try to explain, so I can just vibe with a turned off mind, but don't keep jumping between the two.

1.3 was absolute cinema 🔥💓
@@bamboozled_again please for the love of god it's not r/gachagaming
Biggest pro for me, MC is actually interesting and motivates you to build and play as them. Like I have everyone since release except Changli, and I’m playing MC just because of how they’re reflected in the story, it’s so good!
Agreed
Still using my H.rover
Same. And FRover insanely cute and expressive
@@joemahoma Same
ik you mean from a gameplay perspective and i def agree. it's interesting bc my biggest con about the game is all the mc glazing as they go on their journey to build the largest harem possible with no subtlety.
It's because Devs listen...they even encourage players to keep on sending feedback.
WHICH IS AMAZING absolutely amazing for them
I think they only offer half dedicated solutions. I say I want more level up materials! I want to build and tryout more characters! We do get it but all of it is event based, and so much are copy pasted from genshin. double drop week etc.
I want 100% banners like in Snowbreak, add more pulls for it, 20 or so, but it's guaranteed. Winning is the 50/50 is nice, but it's far worse to lose it. Winning feels good but it feels like you already earned the win. Losing feels outright awful! Second place! All that work, for nothing. Who enjoys that? Why copy that? I get it, genshin was successful so if they copy it and make it just a liiitle bit better they will earn the megabucks.
@@dongarippo7279 the 50/50 system is nothing new... It's been done in games before genshin, if not there is a 50/50 system in a lot of games where you can lose up to 2 times but 3rd time is guaranteed. Not to mentioned their weapon banner is 100% guarantee unlike genshin. Saying wuwa copied genshin is so dumb when wuwa has features that genshin has but 10 times better and better qol. Wuwa has double rate drops but so is other gacha games other than genshin lol, not to mentioned the double drop event occurs 2-3 times per patch, while for genshin is not that often. Wuwa has 50/50 system on their chara banner but they are extremely generous in terms of rewards. I'm f2p, have like 4 5* weapons and every limited chara except jiyan, not to mentioned i'm unlucky i lost all the 50/50 and get the charas around 60-80 pulls. Right now i still have 15k gems even after pulling so much bc the game is generous and doesn't require heavy grind like genshin. So stop complaining lol. If they do implement what you suggested then there would be barely any revenue, as the game is already generous, hence why snowbreak is not that popular and their revenue isn't on the top lmao. (yes i play all 3 games)
Asking for 100% guarantee and more level up materials doesn't make it a gacha anymore and just basically asking devs to help you beat the game in a week lmao. That's not how gacha games work, you aren't supposed to get every single chara as f2p (except for games like afk arena where you need to pull a lot to get dupes, so having all charas doesn't matter) Even one of the most generous games like azur lane it's not easy for f2p to own every single character. I'm building 4 teams rn, finish all of them in under a week in terms of talents and levels + weapons, and it was barely a grind when it comes to materials (if you actually explore and open chest), i still have a shit ton of exp mats left, so idk how you're running out of them bc i barely grind and i get a lot. The materials required to level up isnt even as painful as genshin as their drops are higher and it cost less materials to level up...You complaints seem a lot more like tiny personal nitpicks bc you are too lazy to spend 10 minutes using 240 resins everyday on materials rather than "dedicated solutions". The point of gacha game is the rng aspect of it. Sorry if this is too long and you ain't reading allat bc you can't comprehend basic sentences but these nitpicks are so dumb i feel the need to call it out lol
Now, this is good live-service
@@dongarippo7279 i mean brother, might as well ask them to give you every five star for free at this point lol
The cutscene quality and the smoothness on some gameplay parts like the more mid-end side of the main quest are just "WOW, WHAT THE HECK IS THIS..... IT'S AMAZING"
FOR REAL THE CUTSCENES ARE AMAZING!!
The best update so far... Shorekeeper Q, wall running, Pom Pom trying to hit u with train, coop event, music, new zone... I love it
not the train lmaoooo
lmao Pom-pom trying to get you for cheating on HSR
I have a pretty old PC and the start of playing WuWa was kinda rough, I had to lower some of the settings to play smoothly and there were still some chokes here and there. I have no idea what kind of magic Kuro did, but after 1.3 everything works and looks so much better, I've never expected this game could run like this on my computer. The new map, as well as Shorekeeper, is gorgeous, I took so many screenshots during the story and exploration, and the music??? Man, the OST is on next level this patch.
It also feels crazy to be heard by the devs and see the things you're asking for to be implemented so fast. They even teased echo presets in their last developer's message!
Wuwa definitely has a great future ahead and I can't wait to see what they're going to cook for 1.4 and 2.0.
Maybe it's map issue . 1.3 map is smooth , but when ever i'm come back to thundering mephis area , fps drop straing from 120 to 45 😂😂

THIS, competition between these companies only serve us consumers/players better. Just objectively praise the good and criticize the bad, no need to go overboard with taking sides, doom posting, and other toxic behaviors. It'll only do us good if these rival companies learn more of the good things from each other.
@@Cook1e00it's unreal engine 4 not 5 but I agree with everything else you said
WUWA is one the game that I feel like I want to play as MC during the story, not only because their lore but also because they are meta in game so you can solo the whole story with just rover not worrying about the combat (my Rover is built), you feel more attached to the story
I actually build my MC back before the 1.3 launched. Then i played as MC throughout the story for more lore accurate experience 😆
When MC is being an mc in story and in the game
The reason why I can't experience this in genshin beacuse the MC cannot solo anymore but back then in monstadt...
Another good thing they added is a new limited time event where you can fight boss in. Co-op mode. Gives a mmo vibe boss raid. We wanted that for long in genshin.
Yeah, hologram bosses, omfg, the Inferno Rider holo in coop is crazy, bro does stop with the landmines
Dude, legit butt clenching. It gave you the same vibe when you fight those red aura mobs in overworld
Yeh. It's so funny since I play with my friends on discord chat and we're just screaming and laughing as we get our ass whooped by a motocycle.
as a genshin player when talking abt the shorekeeper how she's basically a better verina, i kept hearing furina lol

@@Fate_is_amazingit's how doro spell verina sounds like furina, if you wat h his wuwa video since 1.0 you'll get it

Black Shores feels like a mixture between Death Stranding and Nier Automata
Which is not surprising since the devs talked about that their initial vision for WuWa was heavily inspired by Death Stranding and they are well known to be a bunch of Nier fanboys and -girls. That Nier collab in PGR was not a coincident.
Black shores was pure Nier Automata, the pods, the music, also getting the pod to follow you around and shoot puzzles and the one you get for shooting puzzles too as a utility, just awesome.
The music Tethys Deep singer took me back to when you first arrive at the carnival in Nier Automata good vibes all around.
I loved it cause I love nier, was so good
If version 1.3 is great, just wait till you see 1.4 coming, it's gonna be fire! (I'm saying it 'cause one of the most hyped characters from Wuthering Waves is coming).
Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
No. I suspect 1.4 is filler patch only. Since we got a new region on 2.0 after 1.4
I think 1.4 is gonna be filler again, the next big update being 2.0

It's about preference and opinion, you might not like it but alot of others could like it which is fine each person has their own opinion, me and person above liked it
sadly i dont feel anything towards Shorekeeper as a character because how poorly they showed her as a person, so there was no empathy for her. but yeah last cutscene was cinema, and map was good, specially minibosses and challenges.
@@dev1lykt14 Yeah that's what I am talking about... they lured players by the cutscences
Wuthering Waves did absolutely great job in this 1.3 story. I think this is the 1st time we are getting genuine Romance, Other games sometimes feel like we are talking to NPC's ( aside from cutscenes ) ... Even when we are talking to another playable character the stiffness is still there, but in WuWa I think the characters has emotions in normal conversations. And this is also ( I think ) 1st time we are seeing another character in the world whenever we want even after the quest is done.
HSR has some of the characters out there in the world (and we can talk to them as well to some degree), but I agree, seeing the same in wuwa feels delightful. It would actually be even _more_ delightful if we could contact some of them via Pangu Terminal (think Metal Gear series' codec conversations in a sense?) for either some idle chit-chat or some in-context experience/info exchange. Now _that_ would be a kickass move by Kuro.
hsr firefly was good too.
quest was a banger 10000%
@@Blood_9369 Romance?? bruh if he(rover) only loves shorekeeper than yes but it's literally a harem or dating thing...

mobile controller support was such a game changer for me - i sold my PS5 and bought a beefy phone to cover my gaming needs - i loved the portability but WuWa (any mobile game for that matter) is a nightmare to play with touchscreen cntrols - thanks to the devs for thiking about gamers like me ❤ - i didnt need to spend on 1.3 as i got Shorekeeper with my saved astrites but i decided to spend on her weapon as a thank you to the devs😊
Wow mad respect and the devs deserve it. Their generosity is why there revenue was low but I don’t want them to be stingy like genshin
Yeah the controller support really helps the mobile experience for me, but im still used to touchscreen since i play with 4 fingers

1.3 weakest point i must say is a lot of scifi jargon used, for me whos used to the concept its nothing but for newcomer/casual reader it might be a bit daunting, i suggest rereading the ingame archives
its also little bit pacing issue in the middle but overall it was great
for new players:
- raise your MC, he's actually strong you can even use him to clear any endgame content like the tower or holograms
- you can buy 2 sequences (copies) of rated up ssr on the shop with ingame currency (which you get by doing gacha)
- limited weapon gacha pity has no 5050 you are 100% guaranteed
- standard weapon gacha is 100% guaranteed (you can select whatever weapon you want and can change it anytime) so dont be scared to gacha any weapon theres no losing here

Yeah I agree with the techno babble. It's a pet peeve for me when scifi games do it and shove random pop science words in their dialogue to sound "smarter". I wish they would stop and just write natural sounding dialogue lines.
Kuro loves they're games and it shows unlike some companies...
Okay so for anyone who STILL has a problem with optimization: that's already a device issue in your part. The game is already running good on midrange device/pc/laptop even on 1.1. There are also weekly small patches to fix any stuttering that were present on 1.0.
It's just your tribalistic behavior that prevents you from enjoying the game. Treat Wuthering Waves like how you treat Genshin Impact: like a game. Unless you make playing Genshin your whole personality, which is a f*cking sad existence.
And if anyone tried to call me a f*cking Kurobot: I probably play Genshin longer than half of the commenters here, and invested more time in the game than a third of the people here. And yes, I am still playing the game, even with its imperfection because I still love the game. I love Genshin, but not Mihoyo and its cult.
It works smoothly on my 8gb ram pc lmao
I had a better PC to run WuWa, but feels like 1.3 update feels as unoptimized as pre-patched 1.2 for some reason.
And sucks that not everyone got to play this game due to the demand of a mid-high end device.
@@donnycorn3086 maybe try clicking the box below the start button in launcher as dx11 or dx12, because they optimised the 1.3 very much!!!
@@DEVIL-km1ox i did click that box as soon as I saw it tho.
Maybe I should recheck it again.
Lmao, being confident while stating a pure BS biased opinion is funny af. You didn't even tested every single device to acclaim that it has no optimization issues on said devices, don't generalize your experience to all. If you're living under the rock, a lot of playerbase left because of the performance issues (specially in mobile) which are mostly still present with the latest version.
I'll give you my own experience so you can stfu. There's no major problem for my PC with 4070 at high settings but using a laptop with 2060 often suffers stuttering and fps drop issues even at medium settings specially at fighting bosses. You know what's worse, the mobile optimization. I have a SD 8 Gen 2 processor with 12GB RAM but still can't run smoothly at high settings. Already used different optimizing and cleaner apps but still the same. I can run other demanding games at 60 fps with high settings so who's at fault?
I'm a day 1 Genshin player who wants to try a different open-world gacha game but the optimization issues and wuwa-glazer/kurobot fans like you who denies the problem ruins the game for me. I like the gameplay but might as well quit if the issue persist.
the story is so good. I just started playing last month and won my first 50/50 for Shorekeeper, I'll be really sad if I don't get Jiyan but she was sooo worth it. its a struggle because everyone is hot AND fun to play >:(

Is this even a question. This game is just AMAZING
I absolutely love this un-biased take of yours, yes WuWa is lacking in some places, but man is it gonna get better sooner or later
Very good review! I hope you will make more Wuthering Waves content in the future. The game deserves it and I think its alot of fun
I actually enjoy doing the surveys for feedback they sent out because they actually listen. A lot of QOL were added because of suggestions made by players. Stuff like the gun gadget for puzzles that require guns, character building resources (so they added more events with more rewards, such as the frequent double drop events). Even just more events and rewards in general.
Also I haven't 100% Black Shores yet because I play other games lol. Like... I think the intention is to have content that you spread out and play. You're not supposed to play WuWa as your "main" game because you'll get burnt out fast, and neither you, nor the developers want that.
So the thing about Shorekeeper's butterfly form is that it's not much better for exploration than the basic traversal abilities. In short bursts, to cross water, to pick up stuff on the way, sure. But it uses stamina to do so while normal sprinting does not. She also can't ascend walls in that form (plus she's draining stamina so it's unlikely you'll get up high anyway). So if you're covering longer distances/need verticality, she's worse than just doing stuff normally. That's one of the reasons why I love the game. Her ability isn't needed for the traversal to be upgraded or feel good, because the base traversal abilities are already very good.
So true!
I agree! And the traverse is balanced as well which is good, getting across water is all I use it for or to just look cool 😎
They've already listened to feedback, and they even mentioned the fact that Verina is overworked and we can finally give her rest. So they're definitely listening lmao

Kuro read me like a psychic, I was actually scouting for his 1.3 update review yesterday
WuWA every update just getting better and better, i can see big potential success❤with a lot their motivation and unique cooking by kuro🤗
i think what makes it so fast to 100% in exploration is that we can use the chest mapper in every region not like other games where its specific to a region and it takes weeeks to get it, plus the mapper shows every chest in the area not just one, its hard to miss
ReDownloaded. Not for Shorekeeper, but to save for Camellya
Doro thank you for covering this game. The devs, the music, combat, movement, graphics, exploration, characters, all 9/10. Honestly the only thing the game struggles with currently is lack of content. Which maybe not I play every day
I enjoyed wuwa for its gameplay and it has improved well too. But they rushed the story in 1.3. I don't mind romance but they rushed it so much especially in the second half of the story, it felt a bit cringe. Well, hope they will manage to improve their story telling
Is it rushed? I feel like it has quite good duration for a story quest. The yapping are lessened and they opted to "show" more than to "tell", which should be the norm with storytelling.
Nah, it's Good not rushed 9/10 and pacing is really good.
If not rushed then shorekeeper will gone and became core 😆 or too deep in blackhole , mc can save Shorekeeper cause she still in surface blackhole 👍
@@beestek.94 Still it was rushed and the quest is literally a dating quest which sucked.....

*_Shorekeeper S6 500% Crit Dmg holy sh.., I definitely will get her S6_*
it is so fun in co op when you do jinshi level damage with her intro, you just need to abuse rotations with quick concerto generation
If you do, just saying it's not increasing 500% Crit Damage, but increasing her Crit Damage to 500% Cap. So you don't need crit damage stats anymore, just all in HP and Spectro Damage but remember to have at least 230% Energy Regen on stats board to maximize her passive!
@@kavier2581 Oh yep, i already got her signature couple hrs ago, it was insane luck, i got it in 24 pulls, 4 more pulls than zhezhi weapon and 6 Yao. I hope my luck wont go away, i need jihnsi weapon so badly.
Shore keeper... Memo keeper...
White Swan... Black Swan...
Silver Swan...
Yep The new blackshores map look really amazing + while using Nvidia filters in that area it feels more like a triple AAA game than a gacha game.
best thing in 1.3
they make every teleport nexus heals you, so you dont need to go resonance nexus anymore, just go to any teleport and here you go ...your HP or dying resonator revive and heals them

I love WuWa, but I agree about the events and story length. What I do like about the WuWa events is that they stay for a long time, so you don't feel pressured to finish them asap, but can take your time. As someone who is not much into fighting, I just wish there were more exploration events and short story driven events, because most events that happen in WuWa are (reoccurring) fighting events. Fighting events in gacha games feel like (bad) grinding to me, so I usually only do one or two stages or leave them out completely.
I loved the 1.3 update. however, i wouldnt call shorekeeper a "better" verina - its 2 healers / buffers who focus on different things. Verina heals way, WAY more than shorekeeper does, while shorekeeper mainly focuses on boosting your damage alot more than verina does while providing less healing, but adds an auto revive like C6 barbara. in other words, neither one nor the other is better, it really depends on your playstyle and how "skilled" you are in the game, as wuwa limits the player by their own skill while genshin mostly limits players to their understanding of what abilites of which characters work together in the best possible way.
I do agree with the "we need some more" statement, though. I had all events and both new map parts done to 100% on day 1, i loved it, and now im back to collecting character materials daily since my accounts is basically literally maxed out - something ive never done in any "open world" game since explorations usually feels sluggish and like a chore (looking at you, genshin). But, with wuwa, literally every aspect of the game is fun. Definitely the best gacha in my eyes, by a long shot. I gotta confess that I didn't touch genshin since day 2 after the natlan update, just as a comparison...
reading this really reflect my own experience. my girlfriend kept asking me to play Genshin, and I have 6 limited characters on AR21. I just login Genshin to collect rewards, but I think Genshin exploration is kinda slow for me and the combat is sluggish (refer to Genshin v1, don't compare to v3++ where explorations hero released). what you need in Genshin is team composition, elemental reaction, and bombastic damage number. but in Wuwa, I saw one content creator can kill lv120 mini boss using unranked hero just by playing with skill (parry/counter). myself and my girlfriend both play wuwa though, and she died multiple times yesterday doing co-op event vs inferno gangster. I like Genshin for its vibrant world, but I love Wuwa for every other aspect.
the day Wuwa update 1.3 released which is Sunday, I managed to 100% its content on the same day. was saving 17k astrite to pull Camellya, but when SK is here I told my girlfriend that I will forever regret if I skip this waifu. so I pulled her and won the rate off. the following Monday, I didn't know what got into me. I blindly spent more astrite hoping to get 1x her copy (to extend ult duration & area effect). but during the 7th batch pull (pity 70+), voila got 3x her copy. now she is my lv90 support healer. while baizhi & verina still lv80 for bench warmers. now since Wuwa content is waiting for update 1.3 phase 2, I fill my time to play Genshin as both game are supposed to be coexist not to kill each other.
@@seetobi Yeah, i get exactly what you mean. i killed multiple level 120 bosses with level 20-40 characters, at this time my main dps was Danjin, a 4 star character which is high risk, high reward. she still is easily my 2nd best built character in the game with a crit split of 101% crit rate over 262% crot damage, and basically now the main dps of my 2nd team. i didn't even fully realize I wasnt supposed to beat these mini on-map bosses on release day - i just tried and managed to do so because it was hella fun. the game at no point felt like a chore or something annoying to go through, everything is fast paced, super fun and the combat is just the cherry on top. my verina is actually on c4 and shes AWESOME, but i have gotten so good at the game that shorekeeper just is a little better on my main team, she has boosted my dps' rotation damage from around 700k to over 1 million. i do have to play more carefully again like i had to do when wuwa just released and i played a character whos constantly on 1 HP, but honestly? thats half of the fun. verina will now keep my 2nd team for the abyss / tower Safe, while my shorekeeper semi-heals and boosts damage for my first team while she also adds around 60k damage on top of my rotation with her super intro skill.
i also only started genshin for my girlfriend, haha. she needed someone who understand the common system of MMORPGs (equipment, abilities etc) to explain it to her and carry her. I wouldn't even play genshin at all of it wasn't for her, because the game just feels super slow and even logging in feels like a chore. i havent touched a single sidequest since Inazuma. and i wont ever do it. literally just gave my account to an irl friend who could barely do the abyss on his own account recently since i thought that if i dont wanna play the game anyway, i csn at least give my Account with alot of very, very well built characters to someone who'd have a blast with it. all the account needs to be godlike is patience to do all the annoying stuff like literally all quests except for main quests, reputation quests and anything else thats just annoying, aka collecting stuff to level the trees / fountains and so on. meanwhile, i literally even maxed my Chef level in wuwa even though it ate ressources like crazy. i literally only have daily quests and some few achievements left to get primos or asterites or however you wanna call them, everything else is on 100% and my achievements are between 92 and 100% as well. all thats missing is stuff i literally cant do, like performing intro skills of characters i do not own 100 Times and stuff like that.
also just saying, camellya has been my favourite design since release and i literally have been saving up for her as well. i just legit did 10 pulls on SK at 0 pity and was like 'if i get her, i get her. i have c4 verina, i dont NEED her.' low and behold, i got her, and her weapon after 20 as well. so i got lucky enough to still save Most of my stuff for camellya, my beloved.
My biggest gripe is kinda how nobody understood the overall story or lore. Everything's top tier from the animation to gameplay but it's 1.3 and Rover can already create a metaphysical world? Their own subreddit is confused as to what happened
so cool lol i already like it
Hey if you haven't seen it yet with Shorekeeper, build her burst up and then go to the top of the mountain where you fight Jue and cast her burst, there is a neat little effect in the sky when you look around. I agree that I wish there was more to do with the Blackshores cause I finished everything pretty quick, maybe like more portal minigames/side quests would have been neat.
Look,

@@___NOTE___ power creep literally affects all games , it’s more prominent in hack n slash games
Not to mention the mc for the game has an important role in the story and isnt irrelevant in gameplay and actually keeps up with other 5 stars. For those wondering, if u want better voice acting i suggey yall pick male rover. The va for male rover does a way better job at acting out the scenes and is one of the better voice actors in the game and does the screaming scenes way better. Female rover sounds like she is getting f'd in the ass when she screams and yells. Its funny because a scene will be all serious but then she screams and i just burst out laughing outta nowhere. Thats why i created a separate account to play as male rover in the story because its more engaging.
I agree that the story could have been longer, one way to do it would have been to split it in two, with the first half ending after shorekeeper's sacrifice and the second half being about rescuing her. Obviously you would have to add some extra stuff and change some stuff to make it work, but I think it would have been worth it.
I suppose they just want to polish the quality more than adding filler junk to extend the plot 🤷
I would say, we are all so used to the Genshin style of yapping with random NPCs and honestly, the quest was 4 hours long, time just fly by because it was enjoyable, WuWa does one thing way better than hoyo games is that it great playable content in the story quests, like the last parkour scene when we try to rescue shorekeeper, that's a AAA game my man
@@deeptobhattacharyya3249 yeah that's what wuwa does better in story quests than hoyo games... adding various types of games and cinematic scenes... but you have to agree that the storyline or I mean the overall story is mid at best... the story is not that interesting since it's just a "dating" quest
@@ANoobInvoid they improved the cinematic scenes and gameplay mechanics... not the story quality buddy... the story is rushed and bad

It only took me 4 hours to get 100% exploration :/
Didn't feel like this video was like a sponsored video at all.
I agree with longer story and more events I'm done with everything under two days after the update came that's how easy the exploration is and lore was too good I compeleted it in one go🗿
I believe we're still getting more this update, there's Encore's companion quest for example and few other events, they're just spread out during the version's period.
This is my problem with all of the big gachas atm, they're too easy to no-life and get everything done immediately. A day or two of excitement then back to the artefact mines for the rest of the update
There’s a co op event tho
@@Natsu yep I am not complaining as I only play wuwa as of now and no other games so it's understandable why I ended up maxing out blackshores in 2 days itself
@@HellBent_ yep and now I'm already awaiting camelya but still as compared to other gachas who stands tall in terms of challenges graphics gameplay and QOL updates so they're doing well and good
I also felt the same way with the story. Had we learned more of her connection with the MC, it would have made certain scenes way better. If it was a 2 parter, it would have been great. VA is S tier though.
W update.
I watched another vid talking about how Kuro unlike other devs actually make the MC good, and it shows that you can do this and not reducing sales by making clear the bond character's bonds with the Rover. Shorekeeper is it. Didn't really care if she was good (she is) but her connection to the Rover is what sold her. I also love that the Rover is so involved with the story, and (spoiler ig?) the scenes around the end makes me *aeugh*. Titanfall 2 stuff.
I think the opposite, kinda. Most characters often feel like they don't exist outside the rover, theres no dynamics between the characters themselves. And this DOES hurt their sales actually, wuwa admittedly isnt quite there yet with hoyo playernumbers, but even for it size the game does just alright sales number wise. Zhezhi is incredibly broken but her banner completely underperformed, because people didn't really care about her.
What dev's you talking about?
Thanks for the pros and cons bro, they will always listen to player and improve the game, can't wait for black shores arc part 2 in 1.4 😆
Are you sure this wasn't sponsored? 🤣 Glad to hear you loved the patch and I fully agree.
I agree that while the content they added with 1.3 is top tier, there isn’t enough of it. Shorekeeper is probably the best looking gacha character I’ve ever seen at this point, and I play Genshin, Nikke, and WuWa. Something minor I want them to add: make it so Rover uses currently equipped weapon in cutscenes
I LIVE YOU DORO AND WUWA TOO
I have a google doc of just a list of my thoughts and suggestions to add to their feedback surveys. Since they constantly prove that they do read through them.
The game is far from perfect and still has some things I personally find not that great or flawed. Like the resource issue with echo exp or be able to fodder with unleveled echoes. Either way, it’s still 1.3 and they have done an amazing job making the player experience better and better. They did address in improving things in regards to echoes in future updates so that’s good ❤
After seeing the new imaginarium theatre I feel like to install wuwa. I dont wanna build charecters i dont like tbh. Genshin keeps getting worse while wuwua is improving.
Come here later to tell us how you are doing with the theaters/abysses in Wuva and echo exp)

Wuwa just keeps getting better. Credit to Kuro for sure. Players that quit at 1.0 due to the shoddy launch are missing out. Now they just need to port it to PS5.
FINALLY IM FIRST!! SHOREKEEPER DESIGN IS LIKE EGERIA
Imo the only thing lacking from 1.3 Main Story is the length, it's way too short and can't give enough depth to the character like how they did in 1.1 and 1.2, and even I feel Main Story in 1.1 and 1.2 is still short. Given that players have authority over how to do Main Story via skip button, I think Kuro can make Main Story longer for better context and char building in the future patches.
for me wuwa give me something new to the gacha game set the bar higher like its new AAA game, i feel like when i play yakuza and i play dmc its just hit different love the game even love kuro too. Kuro cooking for real🔥🔥

Comparing a mid-game to an AAA game. Your definition of a good game is surely lower than the floor. 🤣🤣🤣
@Doro, in Shorekeepers ult, if you can get shorekeeper at the end of the rotation back, she drops a nuke. So trying doing Shorekeeper-> Sub DPS -> Main DPS -> Shorekeeper. The fourth stage of the ult is guaranteed crit if you switch into shorekeeper so she needs the crit DMG.
Its a great game and they really inproved it alot.
I do agree with u on events though, they need to add more story events aside from main story couse u blast through most of it within a day or two wich is nice but not if u need to wait weeks for the rest of the events.
Then again,it is a gacha game so giving me more time to play other games is also a plus.
As for Shorekeeper, i want her but Lingyang got in the way....

The cinematics were amazing, the lore bombs could have been written into the story a bit better, i got a little confused (but honestly, sometimes it's just the translation having trouble conveying the info the way it was meant to be), but overall this update was amazing. Can't wait to see how the story proceeds after this.
In terms of the events tho, there is that co-op event that i CANNOT do because i have no friends to co-op with. Tried solo-ing and couldn't do it. Difficult to do an online match too because the hours i play are very weird for my region so i'll be sitting there waiting for a match for ages. I do hope they'll have more interesting events that aren't just fighting enemies and collecting points, but i do understand that the writing and programming and coding for non-fighting events takes longer if they want to make it interesting enough, so i get why they don't have more of those.

Genshit Stockholm patients are nothing but guinea pigs at this point. It’s sad really.
Tbh, im not impressed with 1.3 after finishing it, I’m finding it harder to stay invested in the game due to its declining story quality and lackluster character development but only stayed for meta and pretty characters.
While the visuals and animations are consistently amazing, the dialogue and character interactions often feel flat and repetitive. Characters, particularly Rover and Shorekeeper, are written in a way that makes them hard to connect with-Shorekeeper revolves around Rover with little motivation beyond that, and Rover themselves feel unremarkable despite their supposed importance to the plot.
The rushed pacing of the story makes it difficult to care about what's happening. We’re thrown into major events like the crisis at the port city without any buildup or emotional investment. Characters like Hoda and Youhou feel irrelevant because they’re introduced but not developed in meaningful ways.
The stakes never feel real, as there’s little urgency or emotional depth behind the events, making the whole experience feel empty despite the grandeur of the plot.
Overall, while I appreciate the qol, combat and visuals, the weak writing and lack of character growth disapoints me.
The story has so much potential, but it consistently falls flat. If the main story doesn’t improve soon, I’m seriously worried about the game’s long-term appeal, but i guess the pretty graphics, cinematics, and combat, qol will mellow that concern.
I think long term it’s good since it’s already better than genshin
@@aosiel better in some parts sure for it being a newer game but for the stories? it isnt tbh.
@@Mariuslorca i would rate its story a 5/10
That being said genshin objectively has 3/10 story.
Even if they had the same story that would mean it is a better game in general since every other mechanic is way better than genshins.
Naah compare to genshin the story didn't disappointed. Genshin story is so recycled and still no info about the God just kills the vibes where as Wuwa is dropping lores and revealing who he is
@@aosiel i dont think so, Genshin's story in 1.x Mondstadt ,it is your standard fairly cohesive fantasy story for world building and introductory to the game's world, i would rate it 6/10.
In Liyue Stories i would rate it average but i also hate its Main quest for being as rushed as Wuwa Story, so I would rate it 4/10. Though its world building is good.
Inazuma Stories are good in general but fell flat on its main Quest for being as as rushed as Liyue so i would rate it similarly with Liyue which is 4/10.
Both Sumeru's and Fontaine's stories are 8-9/10 for me, this is were the game went peak.
we havent finished Natlan yet so i reserve my judgement.
For me, Wuwa's current story rating stands at 5/10 due to its numerous rushed segments that fail to adhere to the 'show, don't tell' principle like Liyue and Inazuma, leaving the world underexplored and overly focused on hurried interactions with Rover. However, I must commend its impressive visuals, thanks to Unreal Engine, along with the superior mobility and combat mechanics that surpass those found in Tower of Fantasy.
note that if you switch back to shorekeeper with her intro skill while her ult is still up and you have both the crit damage AND crit rate buffs(golden ult), her intro changes and her crits are 100%. meaning if you put as much crit damage as possible(mine is 200 right now) and ignore crit rate, you can do a good chunk of damage at the end of each rotation. (the ult ends kinda fast without her c1 so u gotta play the rotations perfectly). to top it off you dont need to build her as a dps to get good damage in this case. I went full healer and tried to get the crits as a bonus on the echoes and she still does good damage
You know a game is good when the only complaint is that there isn't more of it. I totally agree, I hope we get bigger chunks of content and events in the future. And I play this game religiously every day since launch. One if my favorite games right now.
So far, WuWa kinda went from having a meh story to seemingly having one of the best stories out there, considering all of this is still just the exposition to the overall game and world. Only thing that needed improvement is maybe explaining things a bit slower (yes, I am actually asking for more GOOD "yapping', because it's actually underused here).
Events, I somewhat agree, I do think the new co-op event is EXTREMELY good, like, it could straightup be its own repeatable endgame with some refinements. But I think this was recorded before that event came out.
@@RealQuarlie one of the best stories out there?? excuse me how? it's just a dating quest and it falls under the "mid" category.... sorry but calling a dating quest "one of the best" is a crime... genshin early patch stories are much better than this even tho they aren't some of the best stories out there
although the cinematic scenes carried the quest but the actual storyline is literally mid at best
@@Supreme_Bargainer
Genshin in its exposition Phase was also not really that good, which is just expected from an exposition in general.
Mondstadt only really had fighting an abyss mage that captured a dragon, and nothing about that Resolved the main plot really, other than telling you to just go to Liyue instead.. There was barely any reason for you to do any of this.
Liyue and Inazuma were also for the most part rather bland tbh. When people talk about good story in Genshin, nobody says that Mondstadt, Liyue or Inazuma were "good" (again, they were expositions, lots of yapping and barely any impactful story is expected for the most part). WuWa already being probably almost as good as some parts Sumeru in its later half, already shows some good signs, that the story will be really damn good.
And dumbing down the story of WuWa to a dating Simulator is rather unserious. It would be like calling HSR a dating Simulator, because Firefly has a close relationship to the main character in the story. Shorekeeper is literally a created being that was solely made to absorb emotions during laments, in order to feed and calculate them for the Tethys system. Seeing her actually open up in the story somewhat is absolutely expected. Especially since she still tries to suppress those emotions, just so that the people of the Black shores would straightup care less about here, and don't mind about putting her back into the tethys system. She was emotionally unstable for hundreds of years, and literally tried to make herself seem uninteresting, just so she could sacrifice herself without people caring. ANY emotional dialogue with her would very much break her already, since for all her life, she was basically just a machine...
@@Supreme_Bargainer"cinematic scenes carried" 🫵😂📸💥🤡
