    That’s actually wild how I went on a very similar journey with hoyo games. I started with star rail in Aug 2023, then went into Genshin, I did WuWa instead of Honkai Impact, then ended up at ZZZ. I was too intimidated by Impact’s UI, lack of dub and so much content (Genshin was such a big catch up for me).
    I can tell you’re a story enjoyer so I’m interested in which is your favourite story so far. Personally, Fontaine (from Genshin) was my favourite, followed by Belobog (HSR), but I’ve been enjoying the ZZZ story sections too as they have the best pacing out of the Hoyo games imo.

    same, if anyone is interested, based on my experience this is how i would rank the games:
    1 zenless zone zero (interknot level 43 atm)
    -interesting from start to end
    -beautiful animations, smooth playstyle
    -english voice acting feels very natural and not awkward
    -daylies are super fast
    -a skip button exists but
    -dialogue is actually interesting, i never had the urge to skip anything (coming from an impatient dialogue skipper)
    -doesnt feel childish in any way
    -even npcs look extremely stylish and cool
    -music is so lit!!
    -you can literally enjoy everything in this game, even side quests can be exciting
    -you get to play every 5 star at some point in the main story which feels super awesome
    -the mc characters are always around each other and both have different personalities which feels great
    -choosing dialogue options feels like it makes a difference on how the other characters react
    2 genshin (adventure rank 58 atm)
    -i might be biased for this one cause i have played it since 1.1 cause there are a lot of downsides
    -you have to put in a lot of time and effort to get primogems (wish currency to get characters) :(
    -have to skip a lot of dialogue cause many side quests are really boring and its just too much :(
    -no skip button :(
    -paimon, your travel buddy is yapping way too much and often adds comments that are not useful at all or will explain stuff to you that are self explanatory so she can be really annoying D:
    -we are mostly just spectating and dialogue options arent really options, they feel unnecessary
    -not a lot to do when you explored everything and dont have many quests anymore (but as a new player theres a lot of catching up to do)
    -english voice acting sometimes feels weird for me (especially paimons high pitched voice) so i am playing with japanese dub, thats personal preference tho
    -story can be really good but often hard to swallow or follow with complex words and phrases especially in side quests
    -open world exploration
    -you have a lot of team combination possibilities and can get creative (if youre lucky to get a lot of characters)
    -elemental reactions :D
    -you can clear end content with almost any character you like (with synergistic teams around them ofc) if you invest enough time in building them
    -characters are always well thought out, very cool designs and background stories
    -music and scenery in every region has always been super awesome
    3 honkai impact 3rd (i have no idea how far i have come)
    -i cant say too much about that game cause i havent really played it for too long and dont remember much but
    -absolutely love the designs and the ads with those awesome cutscenes always made me want to download and start it
    -as much as i can remember, my impressions of it were mainly good even tho the ui was confusing but i dropped it because i didnt have much time and then i just never came back to it
    -combat was pretty cool
    4 star rail (trailblaze level 33)
    -the trailers finally convinced me to play, i saw rappa and heard reol and that was it, i had to start
    -it was a very rough and slow start (this is why its ranked lower than honkai impact 3rd)
    -sadly the story didnt really catch me so i found myself skipping or just flying through dialogue to only get a grasp of what is happening
    -exploring may feel lackluster because you cant jump or do much so the combat should make up for it but
    -if you have bad luck and just get single target characters, the combat might be extremely boring and annoying
    -the game treats their community way better and you get a lot of characters for free so later on it feels better
    -most dialogue feels insignificant
    -also feels childish sometimes, especially the mascot character marth 7th
    -you can let the game play for you in autoplay (good for farming and doing something else irl)
    -the mc text options feel very rude and out of place
    -mc talking animations for those comments are weirdly long
    -we get text messages from characters and they are mostly either weird or random and the messages take too long for me
    -powercreep in this game is supposedly extremely bad and many people say that you cant clear endgame content with former top teams, you constantly have to keep up with the everchanging meta (but maybe its just like in genshin where you can still clear endgame if you invest enough into your non meta or former meta teams)
    does anyone have the same thoughts of these games as me? did i forget some pros and cons? :D

    Ye Genshin has been the only one I play, but I'll watch videos on the other ones cause they seem neat. I've been curious about trying ZZZ but I don't know if I have the time for it

    • @sassqueenamy
      @sassqueenamy  4 дня назад

      That's a great way to do it! ZZZ is great and in my own opinion, I think has the most casual friendly experience where you can bounce in and out as you feel. But that's just me haha!

    • @KakaoPfoteMsp
      @KakaoPfoteMsp 4 дня назад

      i think you gotta try zzz cause it will me the least time consuming out of all hoyo games, daylies are soo fast!! totally worth it, i fell in love and never felt the urge to skip dialogue even tho there is a skip button

    I'm glad you actually played HI3rd, went through the story, and found out the biggest reasons why people truly love it, the incredibly rewarding story and characters.
    Theres so much hate for the game for some odd reason, just because its older, or ppl just don't like yuri (tho its actually just yuribait), or just because some dumbass CCs who misleadingly crap on the game based on content from 2018 that they played 3 years ago or sth despite never playing anything past said 2018 content (if you know, you know).
    I started with GGZ, and while i play all the globally available games except ToT, HI3rd is definitely my favourite by far. The characters are just written so well, grow, and have such a good path through the story. Not to mention the music. Da Capo is by far my fav hoyo song with TRuE in 2nd.

    • @sassqueenamy

    There is just something about Hoyo games that's consumed my life in a way no other game has. They fascinate me because they at the same time have the best and the worst things I've seen in the medium.
    Genshin has, in my opinion, undoubtedly the best and most impressive story out of any video game on a macro level. But it also commits crimes against storytelling (the timed events) that should genuinely be illegal. Star Rail's story is a mess but it's so ambitious and high-concept that it's fascinating to watch even as it crashes and burns. Honkai is a combination of the 2, it's amateurish but has so much heart and, as you've said, I will never forget Elysia. ZZZ went all out on style and isn't that great at substance, but it sure is stylish.
    I can't help but find it fun to compare these games in every category. Like how Star Rail's character designs are so superior to the others while its gameplay is abysmal. Like how Genshin's exploration is unparalleled but its game design is outdated. Like how much better ZZZ's animations are, or how different its gameplay is. How Genshin's artstyle and music still mogs everything even 4 years later, and how Star Rail's trailers are the industry's best.
    I just can't stop thinking about these chinese gacha game, dammit. I even went on to play Wuthering Waves and Epic Seven and could write essays on those too. Such a weird genre.

    • @sassqueenamy
      @sassqueenamy  4 дня назад

      This is SUCH a great breakdown and one I agree with on most counts! Star Rail is DEFS in a weird space and I really don't know how I feel about it story wise at the moment. And YES to the timed events hiding story details in Genshin - big bad/sad in my book too.
      Defs a strange genre though, I vibe with that hahahah!

    Fun fact: a while back Honkai Impact 3rd had a crossover event with Genshin, and it was wild. This is why Fischl is in the game. There are other remnants of it too - one arena is a grassy field with Mondstadt city in the background, and one of the weekly bosses is Andrius. I still have the emblem from the event. If it's equipped Paimon would randomly pop up from time to time and say something. At one point the emblem glicthed out and caused Paimon to repeat the same phrase non stop over and over and over and over again. Fun times!

    I'm curious on your thoughts about game remakes/remasters, recently MySims Cozy Bundle (which is a combo of MySims and MySims Kingdom) came out on Switch and soon Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered will be out on Steam. Do you know those games? If not, does this interest you? Also what game would you like remade for modern PC/consoles?
    I want very old games to be remade like Dynamite Dan (ZX Spectrum) by Rod Bowkett and Rascal (PS1) by Traveller's Tales. Mostly because I'm interested what an modern look to these games would be like.

    • @sassqueenamy
      @sassqueenamy  4 дня назад +2

      I was a HUGE MySims fan back in the day, so I am pretty keen for a re-release as the Switch feels like a great console for them to get more love!
      I'm not as familiar with the other games you've mentioned - but the concept of a modern remake is something I keep thinking about as I'm playing through Dragon Age The Veilguard! Will need to think on that a little bit more! :)

  • @Kiwi-Araga
    @Kiwi-Araga 3 дня назад

    I've played Honkai Impact for over 5 years, starting before Genshin was a thing. Read all the manga, Second Eruption is amazing and I recommend reading it if you haven't, Elan Palatinus being another good story. Cooking with Valkyries was a decent slice of life anime too. The gameplay was entertaining, I started on the phone while I needed something to keep me busy for a while when I wasn't home. Then the story started to get interesting and I was hocked. The community back then was small, horny, drama-free (mostly). I played until Part 2, then I stopped in part due to burn out, but also because the new story wasn't hitting the same. Even though Part 2 came with a lot of improvements and better support for keyboard and mouse, which was amazing since I tend to break any controller fast, I simply could not find the motivation to continue. At least I got the two art books for free by playing the game.
    I played Guns Girl Z for a while until the global server got shut down. I moved to the Japanese one, but I kind of got tired of it, plus it's not the most F2P friendly.
    In the meantime, Genshin released. I played day one since I love adventure games. The issue was the fact that the content was going to release in small bits in 1.0 and I felt the game needs some polish, plus I didn't have enough time to invest into another game back then so I put it on hold until 1.6. Then I returned and experienced the first Golden Apple Archipelago event which got me hooked. Ignoring the not so great execution of the Inazuma story, the new region was beautiful. Also, there was an event where you had to save pets from samurai dogs holding katanas in their tails and as someone who appreciate when storytellers and developers understand that there's no limit in fantasy, I really loved to see that. So far, is the only Hoyo game I'm still playing. I have less time and it's the most casual, plus I love exploring and solving puzzles and the constant updates do give me a reason to return. I do have enough time between updates to focus on other things so it's hard to get burned out since I don't have to play daily.
    For Star Rail I was very hyped because it was a direct spin-off of HI3, even though there are very few turn-based games that get me hooked. HSR wasn't the type of TB I enjoy but I played for a while for the story which started good, then the Loufu story was meh and rushed, then Penacony started good but they had to include more characters than it was necessary and waste time with B plots and Sunday yapping about the birds just to repeat the same thing again and I was starting to lose interest in the story too. To add to it, I felt that to progress to the story you had to interrupt and level up whatever character you weren't interested, which isn't the best thing when you try to manage your time to finish your story while dealing with other things in the real life too. I haven't played since the Yacht mission and I don't feel like reinstalling.
    Zenless Zone Zero I played for a bit at launch. The gameplay was fun, but again, having less time made me quit. I'll return in the future for sure, but not too soon.
    A thing about Hoyo games, the global community may put you into chemo. It's better to just enjoy the games and stay away from the large communities surrounding the games and ignore any opinion they have. Small communities where people are focused on the games and the lore are okay, but you have to find them.

    I played Genshin a couple of years ago for a bit because it was beautiful and I loved BotW and it looked similar. It was fun but I had other games in my back catalogue to get through so I just moved on.
    Tried Star Rail but turn based combat just isn't my thing.
    Then I saw ZZZ was coming out, watched a video or 2 about it and it looked right up my street so I grabbed it on launch day and I can't put it down. All my other games are sitting there looking all forlorn at being ignored. 😂
