@@xavdeman man chill. You need to get help.
Naming your game sometyhing that can be abbreviated to Zzz ... is a bold move.
😂
Free advertising
Ahhhh I see what you did here 🧠
Isnt that the point? They story is about people going to sleep and going into a virtual world
Even tho "zzzzz" is known as 'sleeping' I don't see how they correlate
just a heads up,, you won’t really obtain all of the characters or have a real choice as it’s primarily a gacha game so you’ll be more or less gambling for said characters and you may get lucky and get the character you desire or be stuck with the starter free characters till you get someone you like
Figured that as he was flipping through them. And with allthose stats. I imagine RNG is going to be a mess likd in Genshin.
That's the main thing that keeps me away from gachas. This game genuinely looks fun though.
@@SolidSnake240 Same. While I'm not that down bad, I did have some weakness in the past and I wasted time on mmorpgs in my youth plus crate unboxing in TF2, and gachas seem like a perfect blend of those two evil things to either waste my time or money 😢
Man ,every single one of these incredibly stylised open world action rpg anime games we get is a free to play always online gacha game
It would be absolutely incredible if we get something like this at full price for a single player offline experience.
That would be a dream!
Basically all these polished open world games of this style are from HoYoverse and their business model is only gacha unfortunately...
they would never sell games that take so much effort for 60$ anymore, that's a thing of the past unfortunately...it's kinda funny to think that if you want a quality open world game you gotta search for a gacha lol
@@gerutzu575 Never say never. Nikke's studio Shift Up just released Stellar Blade and that looks to be a hit. So gacha developers can totally break out into regular single player games and find success. Hoyoverse could too one of these days.
@@shimadabr yeah but tbf if they wanted to make the game its finished form upfront they would need so much from investors and the game would cost loadsssss
@@rubenpoulier3001 They are a multibilion dollar company, they have the money. But it is much more profitable to make a F2P game which exploits human psychology to increase profits.
Been following this game for a while, looks cool. Only thing that I'm a bit frustrated by is what looks like an energy system. I am not a fan when games do this, artificially prolonging gameplay for the sake of monetization. Hopefully they are generous with giving it out
Its standard for a gacha game, really annoying, if you played genshin also by them it makes it worse by giving you randomized stats on gear, it’s absolutely atrocious. You log in everyday and deplete your energy to get fuck all.
Try Honkai Star Rail, it's much more generous
@@reezwave still has the same problem except even worse with gear farming, what are you talking about?
@@reezwave I've been meaning to, but I already play genshin and dokkan. Gacha games are gonna be my job 🤣
@@jesseoverdijk318 Exactly what I'm talking about. Yes, there's more to farm but at least it's auto so you never feel burnout, unlike genshin where you have to play at specific day to farm specific materials.
Hoyoverse games are always flawless on performance. I've played an insane amount of genshin. It has never crashed or disconnected me a single time.
always good launch too not a single queue when million of people tried to login at the same time
ehhh... They're good with the platforms they care about. I Primarily play Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail on a pretty decent PC Rig now but I used to play Genshin on PS5 and before that.... woof... The Freaking PS4 Version of Genshin just became abominable after 3.0. It was not the best at launch but go better and better until Mid 2.0 patches. Then once 3.0's Sumeru Launched, The PS4 Team Did Not Give A Damn About QA!
Let me make this clear; there were certain Cutscenes and Enviroments that mad my PS4 Fan Rev up Louder Then ANY other game! As if the fan blades were going to come flying out and slit my thoat. It Was Louder Then Red Dead Redemption 2, The Horizon Games, And The Dad of Boi Games; No Competetion. Don't believe me how bad it got? Play the Tartaglia Fight on PS4. The fans consistently Rev up at the Exact same point during his little Transformation Sequence Cutscene. Now Imagine that but enough to jump scare a consistent PS4 player used to his console sounding like an airplane.
I should also mention it was a "Limited Edition Kingdom Hearts 3 PS4 Pro" too, that I took very Good care of.
TL;DR: Nuh uh, Hoyo will very much pick and choose their prefered hardware and you can go Kick Rocks with any trashy out of date Tech using an HDD. Makes me laugh at the sheer concept of Genshin coming to the original Switch. Probably why they also said Screw the PS4 getting HSR.
No problems on major patch update days as well, ubisoft should take notes
@@kimsonrobinson3171 I've mostly played on ps5 and it's always been fine. can't think of any bugs or lag I've ever had. but it makes sense for them to eventually abandon the PS4 can't expect them to work on old hardware forever. but ya there is no shot it will ever run on nintendo hardware. even the next gen switch probably isn't going to be enough for it.
Well it's because those are mobile games ported on PC and Console. Ofc it's gonna run great.
Man Nicole looks like she has some great personalities...
Unfortunately she had an even BIGGER Personality in the Earliest Betas.
@kimsonrobinson3171 Yeah, not as good as she was before. Sanitized content theee days is soo bland and boring.
@@emilyorter3661and whats even worse is that they toned down the dialogue so now it feels like pg13 dialogue rather than 16+
@darkcastle85 I see. Thanks for letting me know. I am curious about Wuthering waves and Azur promilla. It seems Azur has some promising characters, etc.
@@darkcastle85 Rip this game. At least for the ones of us that were exited because it was 16+ rated. Seems like that will never happen with Hoyoverse games. A shame I enjoyed the beta a lot. But the crazy character, gore and dialogue censorship just kills it for me.
The game is literary rated as 12+ lmfao. Christ what a downfall. I feel like the 16+ is what was gonna make this game unique.
I really wish Genshin had the same character swap-out tag-teaming mechanics
I would never expect bro to get sponsored by zzz.
Loving the art style gives me Jet Set Radio vibes, as a Genshin Imapct player I hope Il love this game
This game is on my radar for a while cuz this looks like Hoyo trying to return to hack and slash genre. I'm a fan of F2P gacha game due to accessibility (Free, hehe) and doesn't require you to spend money. I can try the game out and I only need to spend time on it. I'm a F2P player in all of my gacha games. Don't know about you but I like getting random characters then work with it.
That being said, it's Hoyoverse. There are some things they are notorious for. These things made me quit from most of their game. These things are :
1. Incredibly tough gacha. Since they are one of the top mobile gacha games developer, their gacha is pretty harsh. Premium currency generation is slow, gacha rates are low, freebies are rare, etc.
2. Great visuals but shallow gameplay. Genshin and HSR have incredible world, great characters, and awesome animations. Unfortunately, you rarely have difficult combat in Genshin. HSR on the other hand is just pressing a button. Only need to think which one to attack first. I sincerely hope ZZZ bring the gameplay more.
3. Unrelentingly slow grind. In Genshin, I have to prepare in advance if I want to level up a character that is about to release. It's painful because I want to use that character but that character will get destroyed because my world is at max level. Need to wait until that character get enough level. Also, I don't think I need to mention artifacts farming.....
HSR also has this problem. Due to the nature of turn based combat, you'll need multitude of character to suit your situation. However these individual character are so slow to level up even with daily playing. I got bored to death doing auto everyday just to level up.
Might be a stupid question but have you tried Honkai Impact? Haven't played it in a few years but I remember it as one of the best mobile games I ever played, especially in combat. Not really sure of the difficulty but from memory it was one of the best feeling combat systems I played in any mobile game up to that point. Still lots of gacha but it never seemed to bother me much at the time. Might go and download it again lol.
Wish they would take a page from shift up and make it a non gacha
I love this art-style, it feels timeless. I wish more companies would have it like this
5:08 "If you think I'm big now, I've ben bigger"
😂
Kizaru: Oooh Ben Bigger!
The Gameplay and Characters already sold me on this game but what sealed it was the soundtrack! If you're a fan of hip-hop and rap beats this game kills it in the dope beats and bass when you're using headphones! Can't wait to play this!
I see two problems for me in this game, I don't like gacha games even if they have good gameplay I just don't play them of course that doesn't mean the game is bad, is just that this is not for me, the other thing I find is that this game has some very arena like stages, like in every fight you are playing in a tiny square box with like 3 or 5 enemies, it seems to me it's gonna become boring way too fast, I guess that's where the gacha thing comes in.
Yeah. I felt like Genshin Impact was ok, but really, if you have already played TotK or BotW, it's just a watered down version of it that is intentionally drawn out to encourage spending and very long term play. Unless you really prefer the style/story of Genshin it is worse. But I really think the main appeal is the aesthetic and gambling mechanics.
Exactly, The game really seems to lack direction imo. It's basically fighting hordes of enemies in enclosed stages with a glorified hallway inbetween. Very boring structure and the gacha aspects are most likely going to hold it back even further. Also combat looks flashy but seems very shallow
@@kiteofdarkHonestly I love Totk and Botw vey much and I like them more than Genshin, but the games aren’t really comparable. Besides some of the art style and the stamina management Genshin does a lot of things differently, in good ways and bad ways. So I recommend you give it another shot.
@@kiteofdark "watered down version". bro didn't make it past the first hour💀
Luke, why did not once mention this is a gacha game?
As usual the thing I wait for is to see the monetization
The monetisation model is called Gacha. It's basically locking playable characters and weapons behind loot boxes which rotate with new additions every couple weeks.
The transition animation when swapping characters is smooth af. In Genshin and H Star Rail you just shine for a fraction of a second and your character instantly morphs into the next haha.
I wonder how many years this game has been in development. It does look like it will use the same mechanics ad Genshin and HSR for leveling, not that it's bad, surely it took a lot to develop and just because it's a new game doesn't mean it's not gonna be used.
every new hoyoverse game really looks more polished than the last.
HoYo has some of the most polished games in the entire industry.
Every single one of their games is peak in almost every aspect expect difficulty which is not bad, having a few casual games with insane amounts of content and fun gameplay, full of amazing lore and great writing is always good.
Then... hoyo started with its aggressive advertising.
Is it gatcha? 🤔
yes
Yes it’s a hoyo game
Gameplay reminds of PGR and i really like that combat so I'm excited for this game
Others with likes gave their piece, but I personally wish they gave us free rein to just get into a roguelite mode earlier and just beat things up for fun without taking more than an hour for interacting with the world, characters and story. Other than that, this seems to have a solid story on its back. Nothing big but there's an ongoing plotline to achieve something while I beat things up.
Seems to be another F2P Gacha Game. Which can get very expensive.
I have had enough of gacha games. The pity system, rigged RNG, absurd drop and upgrades, etc. I spent a lot of money in Genshin and HSR. I regret those days I used my credit card. I know these are F2P games but the temptation is just too much. Not hating, just stating facts. To everyone, just enjoy the game without spending and do not be like me.
Answer I want fom the video
- Is it a Live Service?
- Is it always online?
- Does it have MTX?
- Does it have other types of DRM?
- Does it contain a kernel level anti-cheat?
- Is the gameplay cool?
Yeah, I guess I will be left wondering... great
@@tablettablete186 brother you didn't even wait 10 minutes in order to get a reply.
-It is live serice
-It is always online
-It's a free to play game, yes it does have mtx
-Probably no drm
-It will probably have a kernel level anti cheat yes
-The combat seems fun, we will have to wait for the game to release, in order to see if the gameplay loop is good
@@IsaButecos I meant from the video. But hey, thanks for taking your time to answer me!
Yes

No
No

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no.
Did you sign the contract?
Im really excited. Finally a Hoyoverse game that looks really interesting to me. The other big two i played for some time and then dropped them.
Generic Anime Waifu: Nah
BEAR: Hell Yeah!
YTer -"Can I say whatever I want about the game?"
Dev -"Yes *WINKWINK*
Yall do this everytime. Be for real, these are just ads lmao. By all means, get that money, but keep it a buck 😂
Game looks good but devs are stingy asf so not playing this cash grab
The combat of this game looks so fun i'm so excited for it
*Hopefully my low-end device will support this game.* 😢
What device do you have?
@@ArabellaSoott *Samsung Galaxy M31S with Exynos 9611 processor*
@@Yamamoto_Chiko There should be a high chance your phone can run it. Whether that would be at low graphics or medium. It’s been about 4 years since it’s release and Hoyoverse is pretty great about getting their games to work on lower end specs. XD genshin works on ps4 for its size and graphics so yeah.
@@ArabellaSoott *Hopefully your words comes true.*
@@Yamamoto_Chiko hopefully. If they don’t feel free to come yell at me 😂
Luke you should be super careful about this game. I think you have way bigger propability to spend 4k on this than monopoly go!
Than Las Vegas
Tbh it's insanely easy not to spend on hyv games if you have good self control
Cringe sponsored video.
How do i do it on PS5?
It's only beta right now, once it actually releases, it'll come to playstation like genshin and honkai star rail did
This should've been 3v3 shooter like brawlstars
I made a HoYo account for this game and this game only,, sad i didn't get into any of the beta tests
Hey Luke, the one you should try is HADES 2
Or Balatro
He definitely would lol
Never thought i’d see Luke covering a Gacha game lol.
I recommend you check out Wuthering Waves as well coming out in two weeks.
Kuro bots advertising their cringe-game as usual.
@@broccoli5176 Idk man, it looks cool
@@broccoli5176genshin could never
This looks very cool, cute and there is a bear 🐻🥰
The heck is a "Hockey Stairwell?"
After this game drops, I think I'll wait for the "beginner guide" videos before i start playing😂
ZZZ, Wuthering Waves, Project Mugen...wich one to play? .-.
Zenless zone zero and project mugen bro
they looks fiiire
Wuthering waves looks good but idk it doesnt look fun
Try each one when they come out and then give ur thoughts. Each game has a p big gap between releases anw
Play whatever sticks to your liking
Try them all out
Bro project mugen seems better
this video feels paid lmao
It says sponsored in the description
Becuase it is lol, he took the Hoyo pill.
he literally said it was sponsored
I guess you skiped the begining of the video, huh?
attention span: lower than the mariana trench
New here, and I can tell your primary audience isn’t Gacha games. It’s interesting to see the perspective is largely negative when you truly can play a good majority of this game company’s games for free. It’s also sad when you consider this game company has produced not one, it two App Store “Game of the Year” games. You could argue this is largely because of money, but then you have to remember one of the contenders was Vampire Survivors, which had neither polished visuals or a big budget but was fun. Gacha games are still not great in concept, but are very doable if you have limited time and resources in your day to day life.
Unfortunately they had to censor the game. I had planned to try it out before that
Hey Luke plz tell the developers to optimize the game for the Poco x6 pro, thanks.
is' t Single player offline or online
Single player w coop mode, online
I didn’t expect a review for this game from you but I’m so glad I did!!
It’s not a review, it’s a sponsored video that Luke didn’t disclose.
Idk Wuwa looks better
13:28 I don't see any prompt to let you pet the cats
0/10 bad game design
You can tell this was a sponsored review. No issue with reviewing Gacha games and I did chuckle a bit at the "different talents" but at times it was painfully obvious they paid him to market this and not sure its a great look overall. The paycheck probably outweighs the criticism though.
100% if you watched his other videos before u can tell the difference from a mile lol
Yup. This is frankly disgusting from Luke. Not disclosing a sponsored video should be immediate grounds for termination off the platform.
Yeah.. I bet he despise this kind of games on daily basis cus it's a "weird degenerate anime" mobile games, but gotta earn money somehow and I can't deny that, but it's pretty obvious
he said it in the comments at least. kinda scummy tho
@@RDR911 Ya’ll rlly gotta chill lmao. I’m not necessarily disagreeing with the possibility that if the video wasn’t sponsored, then his disposition might’ve been a little different, but he clearly said it was sponsored in the video. Not only that, but it’s in the tags and the comments too.
No perfect dodge/parry mechanic = boring
There is perfect dodging that allow a counter attack and when the enemy turns oranges u change character to parry and counter attack lol
The game is pretty solid. A few more polishing then it'll be great.
You should do more intresting games like this one instead of boring FPS's or lame multiplayer games and only talking about framerates etc that no one cares for and are unimportant. So good job! More of this please!:)
When is the game going to release
Ain't nobody got time for an infinite amount of grinding/chored ingame.
Very disappointed in this sponsorship. You can't talk about microtransactions being bad and then get sponsored by a game with lootboxes and pay to win.
Lost a ton of respect for you
A little disappointed with this video honestly. You mention the quantity of characters, but really gloss over the gacha aspect and rates you have to contend with if you want to acquire one of those characters. I also didn’t see much talked about the energy system and how that affects pacing.
You didn’t have to rip them to shreds, but more information would have been nice. I’ve been kinda keeping an eye on this game for a while so I knew about all this personally, but a lot of people unfamiliar with gachas may be watching this.
It’s because it’s a sponsored video. I hate when RUclipsrs do these kinds of vids without explicitly disclosing that it’s sponsored.
@@s_oba it is sponsored, yet he explicitly states he can say whatever he wants. Not diving into the aspects I mentioned makes it feel like he lied or he’s just being negligent. Neither look is great.
Still pissed at Nicole's nerf!
No matter how good the game is, they will still treat their players like sheet..
don't sign any contracts without reading carefully
First, also I just wanna say that you have single handedly have become my favorite RUclipsr. Ur videos are so well put together and i believe that u don’t make a bad video
is the dog shopkeeper a reference to that dog that died who used to own a shop
11:40 I'm getting Tiktok vibes, with that Wipeout logo thing 😅
no gatcha sistem?
ofc theres a gacha system
@niedoanimowanyrosomak9990 yeah but the fact that he didnt mentioned it surprised me so i did a little bit of research and found that there is gacha sistems but i dont really have anything against them
@@piter6769 he didnt mention it because its a sponsored video, of course hes not gonna mention a dealbreaker
@niedoanimowanyrosomak9990 no he didnt mention it because its a test version so it isnt in this build of the game
@@drewroller32 hes playing an updated version of the closed alpha/beta that happened a few months back which HAD the gacha, you can find pulling videos from a few months back already
If the game is good like star rail its gonna be a banger or if its more like genshin then nah
I think its a mixture of both
@@FleXi2108 It's more akin to Honkai Impact 3rd. But not as good as it. I have some old Alpha / Beta footage in my channel. Was super boring, but they said they were doing some major overhauls due to the negative feedback of the last few tests.
Hades II
I might actually stay on this one!!! Inliked Honkai StarRail i just have a backlog
this is prob the most stylish game that came out this year
Hoyoverse's games are always the same type of game, exactly. If you compare how to level up the characters, how you create the teams, and more importantly, how you gain new characters... it's just the same game with different skins. The gameplay is merely a bait to get people spending money trying to obtain a new character.
Oh god why did you fell into gacha rabbit hole. 😂
Ow it is sponsored.
And I believe only 3 characters are unlockable, the rest are aquirable through gacha system which is sks for someone who played Granblue, Persona, Star Ocean, Disgea, and other Anime-like games.
I dunnu why won't this company make a full-fledge one-time purchase game.
Very nice of you to advertise an online casino!
Always online, Absurd gacha pricing, STAMINA SYSTEM....NO THX.
Your the best review channel on the platform, you’ll probably see this cause I got here so early
Going to say it...
I would rather play Blue Protocol, but it still isn't in the US yet. This just seems like ANOTHER reskin of Gen... Swap between likely or 4 toons, some are more powerful, RNG that's rigged in a sense.
So. Meh... looks cool, just another of the same old, same old.
I love Hoyoverse games, but hell is this cynical on Luke's end. Sheesh.
Gacha (Lootbox mechanics) and microtransactions are quite central to their games. By the precedent he himself has set in his past videos, railing against both of these things, yet taking this sponsorship, and how the video is presented, it's all just, yikes.
Maybe ‘you and your team’ should’ve spent a bit more time on this video, because it baffles me that you wouldn’t mention the gacha system. This is a GACHA GAME. You mentioning you can ‘get characters’ and ‘build out their skill tree’ (you mean pulling extra copies, that’s not a skill tree) can be pretty misleading to your audience that might not be accustomed to how gacha games work, at all. Kind of misleading and/or lazy imho.
first😎
Ah yes, the game where they're adding in their first furry characters. I shall pray this doesn't come back in future games of theirs
Here's hoping they made a lot of changes. The game in the last couple betas wasn't great. While I did hear they were making a lot of changes due to negative feedback, I don't have faith in Hoyo listening to their fans and making changes to their games when they've failed to do so in their last couple.
Gacha = No Thanks
I like hoyoverse games and play both genshin impact and honkai star rail, but this game doesn't speak to me. It seems extremely repetitive. I don't like the arena fighter aspect where you just fight waves. It's a shame, because when it was first announced, I was excited for it, especially because of the animation quality.
You obviously never heard of Honksi Impact...
ah yes more generic anime gacha garbage. PASS
Bye
I love the Hoyoverse games, the atmospheres they create are just so pleasant. Like this feels very early 2000s without being blatantly inspired from it
Luke, you really need to work on your Australian accent.
I tried this game out in closed beta, and I’m going to be honest, it stands no chance against Wuthering Waves-coming out in two weeks.
Ok
It's a different type of game. The only similarity between them is the gacha system lmao
Apple vs Orange. Open world RPG =/= Action RPG Roguelike
@@rockyoktivano8946 ZZZ is not rougelike
You're not really giving the WuWa community a good name by doing this...
as a Genshin and Star Rail enjoyer, this is a no-brainer.
Honestly if it's just a Hoyo game you want, check out Honkai Impact the Third. They're basically the same game, but Honkai Impact is a lot better as a whole. Though they said they will change the game a lot due to negative feedback during the last tests. I gave some pretty scathing feedback when I played it (evidenced in my channel).
@@RPGOmen HI3 gameplay just didn´t appeal to me as much. i find Genshin and HSR more polished and HI3 doesn´t have english voice and i find it much harder to dig into. it´s also a lot although the story is great i hear. its just a lot of game in general. Maybe ZZZ won´t hook me aswell, but it looks rather smooth and polished.
Another Fresh™ gacha garbage game
Not a fan of the phone app hud showing the different buttons. I get it because it's going to be released on mobile, but it makes the game look cheap and tacky on console.
I also _really_ dislike "leveling up" characters with mats. To me it doesn't feel like you're progessing at all, that you've accomplished something and that is reflected in the work you've put into your characters.
Know you gotta make money man, but this ain’t the look.
Bro there’s nothing wrong with this shut up stop trying to dictate other people’s careers.
Yeah bud you gotta make it clear up front that this is a sponsored video. INCREDIBLY gross behaviour to hide that.
He said it right in the beginning tho?
@@FleXi2108 well sadly tiktok generation have very short attention span and memory and he also said it on the end of video
"They sent me the game...", but no money, riiiiiiiight? Cuz that would make this a sponsored video, which needs to be disclosed.
Edit: OK, you did say it was sponsored, but only right at the end 😑😑😑
Wrap your cords in foil. Sometimes that will deter cats from chewing and clawing stuff.
Try wuthering waves
this is a game where im not even gonna be worried about whether my character is like S or A or however they do it. its just gonna be based off of who looks cool to me that gets to play lol
this game is such a blast holy shit
