  • Action games have never really caught my interest, but after analyzing the trailers, ZZZ is certainly presenting a strong argument for why I should start paying attention.

      Genshin was made in Unity with assets. After making tons of money they bought the asset creators. If you compare their animations to other games like DMC, Bayonetta, and Nier you can tell where it was all copied from as well.
      MHY is also a CCP committee that has contributed millions to CCP projects and actively helped track down protesters during the HK riots. They only made a branch in Singapore, they're still based in HK.

      Your comment sums up my thoughts perfectly. This game looks great, but the F2P aspect has me highly suspicious that the game will just periodically beef up the enemies to insane levels necessitating either grinding or spending more for lvling resources/better characters/equipment. Lemon probably should have waited until the game released to review it.

      If you want to get all the best character theres no denying that, its most likely a gacha game after all. Most of the character released has competitive value to them (they did my boi Cyyu dirty tho) and they rarely give us a character thats too broken. If you mostly only want to play for the story, as long as you dont mind the time gated stamina system, hoyo has a good record for not spiking the difficulty too much to the point you're forced to pull for units, heck hi3 doesnt let you to use your character most of the time in story mode (you could still use your own if u have the same character as the story). Overall if you're worried about p2w stuff it aint a problem most of the time. NOW if you're thinking of FOMO and chore impact however... Its your own psyche, you mostly know what you have to do wether to commit, skipping dailies or events, or ignoring the game's existence is always up2u

    This feels like... A commercial? I'm only saying this because I've never gotten this vibe from your channel before and you seem open to feedback, this is all coming from a place of love: this isn't what people want here. If you were providing some actual hands on experience and opinions then sure, fine, that's sponsored content. This is just regurgitation of marketing materials; those are two very different things. All you're really able to do in a situation like this is look at what the company says their game is and repeat their points in your own words. Frankly, if I wanted that I'd just go watch a trailer and save myself the ten minutes. I normally really love your content and I'm trying to put this out there in a way that's constructive, but this is way too far. This video isn't a review, it isn't really even a "my impressions of ___" thing because you haven't played the game. It's like a review of an album based on the record company's opinion, or a review of a movie from somebody who's only seen the trailer: incomplete, impersonal, and heavily biased in the favor of those who stand to make money from the success of the piece of media being reviewed. This video isn't helpful to anybody except hoyoverse, and that's a bummer compared to your normal content. All the best.

    Mihoyo's games always look good.
    But then the slimy black tentacle of monetization slithers its way in and things start to get ugly.
    Their gacha is bad, their stamina systems are an insult and everything is an RNG based grindfest so you buy more stamina.
    If they can keep their usual bullshit out of ZZZ, good. But I'm genuinely curious if Lemon's opinion changes once the game is at a release state.

    • @ortah2616
      @ortah2616 9 месяцев назад +1

      Genshin is pretty bad with what it gives out for free, only 10 pulls every anniversary. But Honkai Impact is fully willing to give meta characters out for free and Honkai Star Rail just can't stop giving out 10 free pulls every patch. along with the 600 premium currency as an apology for just doing patch maintenance.
      Though from my highly critical point of view on Genshin's monetization I would say it's far from the worst, game's sorta grindy, but I've only ever spent $60 total on the game at release and since then I've gotten every character I've wanted, that's a full price video game. There's better things Genshin can be criticized for, like rigging artifacts to where less useful stats have a higher chance to rolled, It's a good thing ZZZ's version of artifacts will have fixed stats.
      At the end of the Genshin's monetization is manipulative and the Abyss is psychotic whoever is handling that needs to be fired, but the game's monetization will only be an issue if you have an actual gambling issue, then I recommend staying away from gacha games.

  • @Gamer3427
    @Gamer3427 9 месяцев назад +19

    As someone who plays and has played a lot of gacha games, Mihoyo makes some of the absolute best in terms of visual quality and gameplay, and their writing quality is pretty up there too.
    The main downside though is that typically speaking, they are very stingy with their gacha currency and rates, meaning that unless you plan on spending hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars, you aren't likely to get more than a character every now and then that you actively want. If you're fine with playing knowing that you might miss out on a character you really want, and you have the self control to keep from spending more than you can safely, their games are good. It's just that even as far as gacha go, there needs to be that extra warning.

    • @thaddeusgenhelm8979
      @thaddeusgenhelm8979 9 месяцев назад +3

      Weirdly, I feel like their gacha stinginess actually really hurts their games, usually when combined with long times to build/gear characters, because it's hard to get and gear up new stuff to try out, so even if there's a variety of team comps to experience or whatever, you kind of settle into the one or two you have and have gear for, and it makes it easier to get burned out than it might be if they were a bit more generous in that regard.

      Genshin and HI3 suffer from that stinginess a lot. HSR though has actually been pretty lenient with their f2p side. I am a purely f2p player, and while I usually don’t even get a single 5 star in 2-3 banners with Genshin, for HSR I’ve actually been able to get a lot of 5 stars despite having caught up with all missions and events. I think a big part of that has been because the simulated universe, unlike the spiral abyss, is VERY f2p friendly and is a good source for jades. That gives me hope that this game, if it has any gacha elements at all, might be even better in terms of that f2p leniency.

    ZZZ Looks good. And I've been moderately interested since it was announced.
    But I played Genshin Impact when it came out. A lot. But it was grindy. Which is okay, I don't mind grinding. Until I reached the (at that time) end game. And the end game dungeons, while initially fun, did not increase the drop of low level grnad mats (or at least not that I noticed). And the high level grind mats were worse. So I put it down. And only went back once, to grab the Horizon crossover.

The amount of detail and style that has gone into the 3d animations of this game is highly impressive, surely one can appreciate that?

    It looks interesting and I personally liked Genshin Impact from the same studio, but... Hmm... I don't think I wanna dip into another gacha again and it's most likely gonna be a gacha game. I don't wanna have to farm or pay to get the characters I want, that are gonna become obsolete when new ones release and difficulty ramps up when trying to use older characters.

    @forceofsilver5466 9 месяцев назад

    While the graphics look gorgeous and the promis on heavy character interaction sound amazing, I have a few things that I'm not sure, if I'll like em.
    First, the combat looks a bit to much like Hack n slay to me. The party swap is probably going to be only really useful on bosses, so normal mobs are gonna be a normal attack spam (or so I fear).
    Second, I... kind of dont like the jogging animation ( see 2:19) its looks to floaty and weightless to me.
    Last, of the 2 MCs, all footage I saw here, the girl looked super active, chippy and fun, while the boy was... there. He was her counter balance I guess. I want to play guys in games like this, but he just seems so uninteresting.
    But its still early. Since its f2p, its currently on my, "who knows, maybe I'll have a look" list.

    Despite the general view on HV games being “ew gacha” Star Rail is actually really generous with free pulls (i haven’t spent any money at all on it and have like 7 five star characters) so hopefully ZZZ will be as well?
    and on the similar note while people will still argue “oh but having power creep on characters is pay to win” in most cases it doesn’t really matter? All the Hoyoverse games don’t really do content that gets harder per update, literally in all their games the highest difficulty is technically in base release for a high enough player level and even now most characters in Genshin from 1.0 are on equal damage ranking with new characters, it’s been literally years and Zhongli is still the best shielder in the game (the only exception was the Dendro characters in 3.0 onwards but thats because it was a new element) and some 4 star characters are capable of doing high damage (Fischl being the prime example as she’s still one of the best sub-dps characters)
    People get a false idea about Genshin and Star Rail having insanely bad power creep because of the kind of youtubers who make clickbait-y titles like “(new character) is the most overpowered yet” or “(new character) is a must pull” when a lot of the time the characters dps is on par with other characters, as far as i’m concerned for games like Genshin, Star Rail, and ZZZ the proper way to play is just pull for whatever character you like and ignore the clickbait telling you what characters you “need to get” (case in point: i pulled for Hu Tao cause everyone calls her the strongest character in the game, i barely use her cause i don’t like her playstyle and instead use characters deemed as “not as good” like Tighnari or Cyno)

    When it comes to Hoyoverse's games many of them have an aspect that's S tier.
    Honkai Impact has a surprisingly incredible story with one of the greatest villains in anime history, that's no exaggeration.
    Genshin Impact nails the Minecraft-like feeling of exploring then suddenly having music start playing that causes you to take in the sights around you.
    And Honkai Star Rail is fantastic with it's dialogue and comedy, some of the most entertaining moments in that game is just characters standing around and talking about nothing of import, hell there's an entire questline based around that and it's one of the best.
    I genuinely cannot wait to see which aspect Zenless Zone Zero truly excels at

Have no idea who you're referring to despite having gotten a bit past the time skip, and done most of the special zone content (Raiden Mei plot, PHS, etc.) stuff too.
