Wow, who would have thought that ignoring the opinion of those creatures that aren't even supporting your product is actually healthy for the business.
What I find to be very much night and day between the Chineese and Japanese gacha game devs, and Western devs is the stability of the games and customer service. Most gacha games I've played, anytime theres a content update, the game just works right out the gate, no bugs, no performance issues, nothing. These games have weekly maintenances, where they are unavailable for 1 or 2 hours, and the shocking thing for a new player is that, usually after every maintence, the devs just send you free stuff (usually premium currency) as an apology for the maintenance. If the maintenance took more time, than anticipated, they send you even more free stuff with an even bigger apology. If the maintenance was due to an actual bug, that needed fixing, again they send you even more free stuff, apologizing, that an actual bug made it into the live version. And that's not all. If the game has their 1 year anniversary of their release date, they send you free stuff, same for 2 years, 3 years, etc. If the games official youtube channel reaches a milestone subsriber count, they send you free stuff as celebration. If their twitter account reaches a certain follower account, if their instagram, discord. etc. You get the idea, anytime there is something to celebrate, or anytime the game is unavailable for a bit, they send you free stuff. Compare that to CoD nowadays, where a new launch is a buggy mess, and most of those bugs will never get fixed, as there is a new CoD coming out in a year, so why bother. And Heaven forbid they apologize or give you any recompense. Gacha games used to be very pay to win. But nowadays, if you're not a min-maxer, and just want to enjoy the story, and have a little bit of challenge from time to time, you can absolutely play these games without paying any money.
Depending on RNG, starting out can get rough. But yes, F2P is completely possible. I'll say RAID is another one that is playable for free if you look up strats on youtube. And I like RAID because it is the only game that has waifu-able female dwarves.
@@kingofsapi raid is trash... why do you think it is good? It is probably because you have been playing for way way way too long. I have been playing nikke for 7 months and am at level 250 with almost every character and have meta team that is at 300k power.
How are you at level 280 and only 230k power? Are you not upgrading your equipment to pinks? Did you not reroll the pinks attributes to better ones with your crystals? Did you not use the figurines? You should be doing better than me because if you are at 280 that means you started playing a few months before I did and Im at 300k power and level 250 and my CP would be higher if I had better rng on my crystal rerolling of gear attributes.
@@thomgizziztoo be fair figurine rng is ass Also don't forget bonds because they also have an impact on combat points And do your dailies especially interception for gear and simulation room for skill books
@@minebidw1291 Uh yeah... a lot of people play video games partly for escapism, that's the point. There is already a lot of woke trash in real life, do you want it in video games too?
Bro I love Snowbreak. Been playing it since it came out. They started putting in lots of fanservice and 3d scenes with some of the girls and I totally see it helping the game. There’s a lot more players coming for the fanservice and staying for the great gameplay.
Some people here in the West Phil shame and fear to admit they play games like Nikki because most of the Puritans have whipped people into thinking that anything attractive in fiction means you're automatically a corn addict and/or a PDF file. Saying one word about an attractive female character or if that character is censored in any way you get immediately bombarded with insults, and not many would want to handle that. Me? I'm on the side of not giving a fluck anymore. I enjoy my fiction like I'm supposed to and go straight to the most PC free option possible. I enjoy my attractive women and I will bolt the other way if they look like the wicked witch of the West or a land whale or they are censored in any way. I have heard people criticize and insult me and everyone about what a character looks like so often that they whipped the shame right out of me. I'm just completely and utterly done. If I know that I or what I like hasn't hurt anyone then I'm going to still support it.
> Puritans You mean commies. Puritans not only had equal views (things were bad no matter if they were irl or on the media, and no matter who target was, man or a woman), but also did what they preach. Meanwhile these people thrive on hypocrisy, "naked ghey parade in front of the kids good, sexy girls in swimsuits in the game bad".
Last night I looked through all my switch games. Not a single 1 was made in America except Metroid Prime remaster. So I said hold up, wait a minute and I looked through my psp, vita, DS, 3DS games. No games made in America. I think i was ahead of the curve
They always have been for the most part critics in the west have been whining in favour of sensitivity, representation and other lefty whining points like male gaze and male toxicity since the 60s.
I play SnowBreak quite often my two Main games are SnowBreak and Nikke and both are really good games that offer alot of free stuff during either Event's, Half year anniversaries, and Yearly Anniversaries. Gacha at this point has overtaken almost all forms of gaming, And I just going to come out and say it Gacha is similar to that of Bondage you know what you're getting into LOL 🥰. Gacha has built in pity systems or redemption systems for always obtaining whoever you want as a F2P the only thing that cost realy money are the Character Skins, which have no real competitive aspect to it other than hey I want to see this Waifu or Husbando in a swimsuit! What's sad is the State of gaming and more particular AAA gaming I have a feeling that AAA gaming maybe coming to a crash soon, But with gaming thankfully segregated it will not impact other companies or studios like Gacha or Indies. As a direct result we as gamers may actually start to see even more Predatory sales practices in the near future as these large studios and companies will squeeze every last Cent, Penny, Shilling, and Shekel or you regional equivalent from you. Adding all this identity crap is more than likely hastening this effect, of which I welcome. But it does mean becoming ever more vigilant to make sure this stuff doesn't go overseas and infects Japan... China yeah its not happening! But Japan thats a pressure point. Now there're some areas even overseas like Nexon with its predatory systems and Geez don't even get me started on The First Descendant monetary system, its a cheap carbon copy of Warframe and Destiny 2 and even RIP's some emblems from those games LOL. Its waay worse than the most predatory Gacha games and whats sad about it even if it were to try to be in the same sphere as Gacha its going up against SnowBreak, Nikke, and the Upcoming Duet night Abyss. No clue what or where the First Descendant is going to place itself... but it shows that you can be from the east have the fanservice just look up Bunny and still be a failure. Thanks for your time reading this Yapping post, Cara Malone of FlaVR
I play Snowbreak as of pretty recently. while I'm not exactly a fan of some of their moves with the game. I give them extreme credit for how ballsy they are being as a developer. if they did a better job at keeping their characters consistent Id be even more in their camp than i already am..
This is SnowPEAK! Been playing it since almost day 1, im quite active in the community, and one thing I have to say that even people deep in the community are not perfectly fond of the "upgrades" characters are recieving (They're literally increasing their boobs size for existing characters), but everyone is still happy and calls Seasun based af. Mr ChongChong, Snowbreak CEO I think, is very active in english social media. They really treat EN players with equal respect as chinese audience. In last year they started out slow, and were actually on the verge of collapse, but than changed direction and we're witnessing peak for a whole half a year, only growing stronger. I'm happy this game is recieving more atention it deserves!
I play on release and feel the model is fine. I comeback for anniversary and the model is changed. I don't have problem with the skin and clothes but in the change of model, even the enemy model have jiggly boobs.
Soy voice actors: 'we refuse to work for a game that respects it's audience and has fan service'. Based gamers: So, for no censorship we only won't have butchered localisation? Your terms are quite acceptable. Have fun at the unemployment line. 😁 Soy voice actors: 'wait, you're supposed to be mad. Reeeeeeee' 😭 . . 😎
Commenter : I'm gonna comment like it's a play where the characters have lines and ill just repeat what the video says. It's a stand in for wit. Everyone: 😔
English is not even my main language, I couldn't care less if a bunch of americans gave up doing VA work for games. If anything that would be an improvement as these studios won't need to have extra costs by hiring a bunch of mid tier actors.
I play a few low graphic games, mostly indie RPGs, rogue-like/lite and the occasional AA when it is beloved by a lot of players (such as BG3) but only after months of it being released so serious bugs are fixed, and it is fully reviewed by mortismal or other acceptable game jurnos. I do not listen to devs/producers of any product, ever. If they say something, they are doing it for profit. It has nothing to do with what is good or right, only greed and evil. This is my policy when encountering any salesperson of any type.
As opposed to japanese or korean? Oh thats right you don't understand them so you think they sound fine. Also have you listened to most of the dudes in these games? Do you know anybody in real life that speak like that? Of course not. Both in korean and japanese they are putting on affectations to sound cuter and it is just as bad as it is in english, sometimes worse.
@@thomgizziz I speak JP and CN. The EN dubs are terrible compared to CN KR and JP dubs. It's over exaggerated and over acted. I don't know why female VAs that get hired suddenly derp out when voice acting for Eastern media, but the guys sound much more normal.
@@thomgizziz No. English VAs in anime related media are bad in general, at least when it comes to the females. The guys actually are better, aside from the ph@ggy voices occasionally. Having listened to good EN voices in some anime, you can easily tell the difference. These VAs just don't know how to act for anime, so they sound fake. They are literally on the same level as your average high school acting club.
@@SuwinTzi Sure you do. Knowing a bit of a language isn't being fluent. Im decent at japanese but I did translations in korean for academic texts and the korean dubs are just as scuffed. Stop being a weeb. No the guys dont sound normal in english. Are you sure you speak any of these languages well? AGAIN, who do you know in real life that sound like any of the male chars? Stop the BS.
@@thomgizziz neither japanese nor English are my native language. I know both of those languages and English sounds really bad in general. The main issue for me is that English female voice acting all sound the same and also they don't act at all, they just read a script and call it a day.
the English VAs are so out of touch with their fanbase. They don't realise that the majority of people who play these kinds of games are weebs who don't even use English VA as their chosen option. They go with any other east-Asian language.
More like the VAs with an ego or aren't independent. The more independent VAs would be more than happy to take that roles in Snowbreak, considering they're more than happy to work with ShiftUp with Nikke. My problem with the devs of Snowbreak is one of their justifications of just stopping using the EN VO is that more people used the JP VO... When that's basically the only VO from the get-go, most are going to pick that only option.
I bought a nintendo Switch 4 years ago. I've hung up my hat on any new games for PC/PS5 so checking out old remastered Retro games on the Nintendo Switch. I'm DONE with new games. Will check reviews on old retro remastered games to double check they haven't been woke-a-fied.
I just popped my old PlayStation copy of Ghost in the Shell, which I haven't played in a long time, and marveled in how shameless the opening demo was: Slick, risque, and very cool. -"Modern audiences"- Actual modern gamers and old school players have one thing in common about sex appeal: Yes.
_Dayum..._ now there's a blast from the past! Remember playing through that years ago... the difficulty curve was utterly _BRUTAL_ from what I recall; still, it was a fun enough little game, especially for the time... Certainly, I'd still take it over 90% of the so-called 'AAA' s**t they keep churning out nowadays!
The little bit of "Wuthering Waves" I've played was good, though it really needs to not be locked at 1080p 60fps. It looks worse than it actually is when you're on a 1440p panel (due to scaling) and this is exacerbated by the inherent motion blur caused by a 60fps cap. For those wondering it's really easy to scale 1080p to 4k since it's a nice 4x increase in pixel count, so you just turn a square group of 4 pixels into 1 and that's it.
@@Dja05 idk, nikke's pretty fun to me, the story is also good. For BA the main hook is the story for me as i just auto the gameplay anyway. I treat it as a visual novel with a gameplay.
I'm not ashamed to say that enjoy playing Wuthering Waves. The game is fun as hell, and the combat is surprisingly good, as it has J-Action combat akin to Devil May Cry or Bayonetta.
Too bad Kuro's programmers are the junior squad. Release riddled with bugs, can't fix 1 without introducing 2 more. For the most part within my tolerance but makes it difficult to recommend to people when they have to fight the camera zooming in every time a certain skill goes off.
Every Asian free to play shooter I've tried doesn't allow the simple option of inverting the mouse Y. So I end up uninstalling within a couple minutes.
The average Gacha compared to Western AAA generally offers better story, better written characters and better visuals... Gameplay sometimes isn't as good as it could be on either.
The nice thing about snowbreak is you don't need to have ARC(ARC anti cheat is in every other Asian gacha game) installed which means your storage drives take less of a beating since ARC does around 40-60mb of writes per hour which can take a decent chunk off your drives life if you play games that use it quite a bit. Not to mention you don't want ARC connected to any network whose traffic you don't want the CCP to comb through. It's also just a fun game to play and the music is fantastic.
They are still free to play cash shop simulator trash, I don't care how "based" the devs are and how much fan service they put in, when the main point of the game is the fucking cash shop. You know what would be based? Making a game with fan service which is also the complete package day one, with no extra payments, you know, like how every game used to be 20 years ago.
My only critic of Snowbreak is them not doing what Nikke is doing, and that's hiring independents in the VA scene. It be streamers and/or vtubers. I literally turn off voices if there's no EN VO. To this day, I have no idea what the T-dolls in Girls' Frontline and a lot of the Kansen from Azur Lane sound like.
I recently updated myself on this game (I'm on the discord and heard of the anniversary) since I last played in the 1.1 update and was surprised with how much they changed XD
remember the time when gamers used to shit on mobile gaming over console/pc gaming dominated the 3A mainstream game markets now the tables has turned its the other way around where the niche dominates
I will 100% agree with the mention of Metro towards the end. Playing it in the Russian VO is more immersive than having the English VO. Largely because of the setting. It's in Moscow, Russia. So having everyone speaking English, while easier for just a playthrough, doesn't assist in immersion. While Exodus does have an American and a Kazakh in the crew, it's still more enjoyable in Russian for an Immersion run.
I will stan for Genshin any day of the week. You pay: *Literally nothing.* You get: Over a hundred hours of a solid 7/10 action RPG, with a focus on exploration. (Play on PC, it's hard to play on mobile, but if your team is strong you can easily do some weaker bosses and daily stuff.)
The number of games I see on steam with a cute anime art style, with attractive girls, and then turn out to be MMOs or Genshin clones hurts. If they turned it into like a $40 JRPG i'd grab it instantly. I don't want an endless wave of content game. I want a game I can sit down, play at my leisure, finish and then move onto the next one. Still waiting on an anime style Fallout game.
Hahaha how weird! I just watched like 2 minutes of a 5 month old video of this dude crying about the characters changing. So I finally decided to download it with a snide comment how he reminded me of the game and got me to download it. And now 5 hours ago you post a video about how that kind of guy is just annoying! How the world falls into line is so strange

Im on brown dust 2 right now and am liking it a lot better than snowbreak but I'm concerned that you need to get 4 copies of a costume (character) for it to be decent as opposed to nikke where you are fine with a single copy.
Zee is wrong about the voice acting it is fine in nikke.
Should I play Snowbreak??? Is the upcoming anniversary having Meta Waifu to look forward to??
The biggest lie about gacha games is not being able to enjoy them without paying. Some, sure, but most are at least fine for f2p
I’m just saying nobody is rolling $30 for a SSR5 star Abby from last of us 2.

So right. Modern audience means appealing to male gaze. Modern audiences does not mean let’s appeal to the 1% of audience
You know the AAA industry is really becoming horrendous, when GATCHA GAMES has more respect for their fans than the AAA COMPANIES.
Yes
Wow, who would have thought that ignoring the opinion of those creatures that aren't even supporting your product is actually healthy for the business.
Based
Trust me, as someone within American culture, it’s just as bewildering
I've never heard of a labor union that demands they *NOT* be employed for a project...
Why should a country adhere to what another country dictates their entertainment, especially with that country's entertainment being terrible.
Calling them a distraction is far too polite.
What I find to be very much night and day between the Chineese and Japanese gacha game devs, and Western devs is the stability of the games and customer service.
Most gacha games I've played, anytime theres a content update, the game just works right out the gate, no bugs, no performance issues, nothing. These games have weekly maintenances, where they are unavailable for 1 or 2 hours, and the shocking thing for a new player is that, usually after every maintence, the devs just send you free stuff (usually premium currency) as an apology for the maintenance. If the maintenance took more time, than anticipated, they send you even more free stuff with an even bigger apology. If the maintenance was due to an actual bug, that needed fixing, again they send you even more free stuff, apologizing, that an actual bug made it into the live version.
And that's not all. If the game has their 1 year anniversary of their release date, they send you free stuff, same for 2 years, 3 years, etc. If the games official youtube channel reaches a milestone subsriber count, they send you free stuff as celebration. If their twitter account reaches a certain follower account, if their instagram, discord. etc.
You get the idea, anytime there is something to celebrate, or anytime the game is unavailable for a bit, they send you free stuff.
Compare that to CoD nowadays, where a new launch is a buggy mess, and most of those bugs will never get fixed, as there is a new CoD coming out in a year, so why bother. And Heaven forbid they apologize or give you any recompense.
Gacha games used to be very pay to win. But nowadays, if you're not a min-maxer, and just want to enjoy the story, and have a little bit of challenge from time to time, you can absolutely play these games without paying any money.
F2P NIKKE player here.
Got almost all the Pilgrims
Free skins, level 280 account, Power is around 230k.
Depending on RNG, starting out can get rough. But yes, F2P is completely possible. I'll say RAID is another one that is playable for free if you look up strats on youtube. And I like RAID because it is the only game that has waifu-able female dwarves.
I have a full meta team as of now and I spent like 4 dollars in the game. Nikke it's pretty f2p friendly
@@kingofsapi raid is trash... why do you think it is good? It is probably because you have been playing for way way way too long. I have been playing nikke for 7 months and am at level 250 with almost every character and have meta team that is at 300k power.
How are you at level 280 and only 230k power? Are you not upgrading your equipment to pinks? Did you not reroll the pinks attributes to better ones with your crystals? Did you not use the figurines? You should be doing better than me because if you are at 280 that means you started playing a few months before I did and Im at 300k power and level 250 and my CP would be higher if I had better rng on my crystal rerolling of gear attributes.
@@thomgizziztoo be fair figurine rng is ass
Also don't forget bonds because they also have an impact on combat points
And do your dailies especially interception for gear and simulation room for skill books
to look at uglyness we have real life already, we want pretty stuff
Escapism.
@@minebidw1291 Uh yeah... a lot of people play video games partly for escapism, that's the point. There is already a lot of woke trash in real life, do you want it in video games too?
The Male Money usually follows the Male Gaze.
i agree with snow break dev tbh
Bro I love Snowbreak. Been playing it since it came out. They started putting in lots of fanservice and 3d scenes with some of the girls and I totally see it helping the game. There’s a lot more players coming for the fanservice and staying for the great gameplay.
Some people here in the West Phil shame and fear to admit they play games like Nikki because most of the Puritans have whipped people into thinking that anything attractive in fiction means you're automatically a corn addict and/or a PDF file. Saying one word about an attractive female character or if that character is censored in any way you get immediately bombarded with insults, and not many would want to handle that.
Me? I'm on the side of not giving a fluck anymore. I enjoy my fiction like I'm supposed to and go straight to the most PC free option possible. I enjoy my attractive women and I will bolt the other way if they look like the wicked witch of the West or a land whale or they are censored in any way. I have heard people criticize and insult me and everyone about what a character looks like so often that they whipped the shame right out of me. I'm just completely and utterly done. If I know that I or what I like hasn't hurt anyone then I'm going to still support it.
> Puritans
You mean commies. Puritans not only had equal views (things were bad no matter if they were irl or on the media, and no matter who target was, man or a woman), but also did what they preach.
Meanwhile these people thrive on hypocrisy, "naked ghey parade in front of the kids good, sexy girls in swimsuits in the game bad".
Last night I looked through all my switch games. Not a single 1 was made in America except Metroid Prime remaster. So I said hold up, wait a minute and I looked through my psp, vita, DS, 3DS games. No games made in America.
I think i was ahead of the curve
Snow Break
It does make sense, a lot of critics in the west are just noise these days.
They always have been for the most part critics in the west have been whining in favour of sensitivity, representation and other lefty whining points like male gaze and male toxicity since the 60s.
I'm currently playing Snowbreak, it's a pretty good game. Really good waifu collector too.
I play SnowBreak quite often my two Main games are SnowBreak and Nikke and both are really good games that offer alot of free stuff during either Event's, Half year anniversaries, and Yearly Anniversaries. Gacha at this point has overtaken almost all forms of gaming, And I just going to come out and say it Gacha is similar to that of Bondage you know what you're getting into LOL 🥰. Gacha has built in pity systems or redemption systems for always obtaining whoever you want as a F2P the only thing that cost realy money are the Character Skins, which have no real competitive aspect to it other than hey I want to see this Waifu or Husbando in a swimsuit!
What's sad is the State of gaming and more particular AAA gaming I have a feeling that AAA gaming maybe coming to a crash soon, But with gaming thankfully segregated it will not impact other companies or studios like Gacha or Indies. As a direct result we as gamers may actually start to see even more Predatory sales practices in the near future as these large studios and companies will squeeze every last Cent, Penny, Shilling, and Shekel or you regional equivalent from you. Adding all this identity crap is more than likely hastening this effect, of which I welcome. But it does mean becoming ever more vigilant to make sure this stuff doesn't go overseas and infects Japan... China yeah its not happening! But Japan thats a pressure point.
Now there're some areas even overseas like Nexon with its predatory systems and Geez don't even get me started on The First Descendant monetary system, its a cheap carbon copy of Warframe and Destiny 2 and even RIP's some emblems from those games LOL. Its waay worse than the most predatory Gacha games and whats sad about it even if it were to try to be in the same sphere as Gacha its going up against SnowBreak, Nikke, and the Upcoming Duet night Abyss. No clue what or where the First Descendant is going to place itself... but it shows that you can be from the east have the fanservice just look up Bunny and still be a failure.
Thanks for your time reading this Yapping post, Cara Malone of FlaVR
I play Snowbreak as of pretty recently. while I'm not exactly a fan of some of their moves with the game. I give them extreme credit for how ballsy they are being as a developer. if they did a better job at keeping their characters consistent Id be even more in their camp than i already am..
This is SnowPEAK! Been playing it since almost day 1, im quite active in the community, and one thing I have to say that even people deep in the community are not perfectly fond of the "upgrades" characters are recieving (They're literally increasing their boobs size for existing characters), but everyone is still happy and calls Seasun based af. Mr ChongChong, Snowbreak CEO I think, is very active in english social media. They really treat EN players with equal respect as chinese audience. In last year they started out slow, and were actually on the verge of collapse, but than changed direction and we're witnessing peak for a whole half a year, only growing stronger. I'm happy this game is recieving more atention it deserves!
I play on release and feel the model is fine.
I comeback for anniversary and the model is changed. I don't have problem with the skin and clothes but in the change of model, even the enemy model have jiggly boobs.
Holy based
Watch out, for if you gaze upon the woke abyss long enough, the woke abyss will gaze back upon you.
I juggle between Nikke and Snowbreak, the industry can continue to go down the drain, don't care anymore.
Soy voice actors: 'we refuse to work for a game that respects it's audience and has fan service'.
Based gamers: So, for no censorship we only won't have butchered localisation? Your terms are quite acceptable. Have fun at the unemployment line. 😁
Soy voice actors: 'wait, you're supposed to be mad. Reeeeeeee' 😭

😎
Commenter : I'm gonna comment like it's a play where the characters have lines and ill just repeat what the video says. It's a stand in for wit.
Everyone: 😔
Yeah. I don't think those voice actors understand what their, ahem, role, is...
English is not even my main language, I couldn't care less if a bunch of americans gave up doing VA work for games. If anything that would be an improvement as these studios won't need to have extra costs by hiring a bunch of mid tier actors.
@@SammEater
Yeah, often sounds like they're just reading the lines anyway. Nothing of value will be lost.
Given price inflation, a $60 game in 2000 would cost over $109 today.
-An Economist
I play a few low graphic games, mostly indie RPGs, rogue-like/lite and the occasional AA when it is beloved by a lot of players (such as BG3) but only after months of it being released so serious bugs are fixed, and it is fully reviewed by mortismal or other acceptable game jurnos. I do not listen to devs/producers of any product, ever. If they say something, they are doing it for profit. It has nothing to do with what is good or right, only greed and evil. This is my policy when encountering any salesperson of any type.
Fully agree!
By the time I can buy a digital sale the game is fixed and playable!
XD
Based and true
When mobile gacha game developers start looking down on Western games you know we the industry have major issues .
I'd argue that USA's government let corporations have too much power. And that's why we have such big and dumb problems nowadays, even outside of USA.
Literally just downloaded Snow Break during this video
Great, I'm downloading the right now!
I don't have to worry about giving my money to progressives any more by playing this game.

Female English voice acting sounds really fake in most cases
As opposed to japanese or korean? Oh thats right you don't understand them so you think they sound fine. Also have you listened to most of the dudes in these games? Do you know anybody in real life that speak like that? Of course not. Both in korean and japanese they are putting on affectations to sound cuter and it is just as bad as it is in english, sometimes worse.
@@thomgizziz I speak JP and CN. The EN dubs are terrible compared to CN KR and JP dubs.
It's over exaggerated and over acted. I don't know why female VAs that get hired suddenly derp out when voice acting for Eastern media, but the guys sound much more normal.
@@thomgizziz No. English VAs in anime related media are bad in general, at least when it comes to the females. The guys actually are better, aside from the ph@ggy voices occasionally. Having listened to good EN voices in some anime, you can easily tell the difference. These VAs just don't know how to act for anime, so they sound fake. They are literally on the same level as your average high school acting club.
@@SuwinTzi Sure you do. Knowing a bit of a language isn't being fluent. Im decent at japanese but I did translations in korean for academic texts and the korean dubs are just as scuffed. Stop being a weeb.
No the guys dont sound normal in english. Are you sure you speak any of these languages well? AGAIN, who do you know in real life that sound like any of the male chars? Stop the BS.
@@thomgizziz neither japanese nor English are my native language. I know both of those languages and English sounds really bad in general. The main issue for me is that English female voice acting all sound the same and also they don't act at all, they just read a script and call it a day.
Hell yeah! Ever since 2020, a lot of gacha games have been matching AAA level of funding and arguably in quality as well.
I tried Snowbreak and its a fun shooter. Plus they got some nice fan service. The VAs get what they deserve.
I think worthless or useless is a better descriptor for Western media
i've been playing Snowbreak casually for a while. Never spent a penny in it, but now I will because I want to support these types of developers.
"Distraction" is the KINDEST possible way when refering to Western devs
YES! SAILOR JUPITER! MY ORIGINAL WAIFU!!!!! THE ONLY WOMAN FOR ME!
I began playing girls frontline and ended up with blue archive ❤😂
the English VAs are so out of touch with their fanbase. They don't realise that the majority of people who play these kinds of games are weebs who don't even use English VA as their chosen option. They go with any other east-Asian language.
I tried to support english va because as a kid I grew up with ocean dub and stuff in dbz... It really is all about the culture man
More like the VAs with an ego or aren't independent. The more independent VAs would be more than happy to take that roles in Snowbreak, considering they're more than happy to work with ShiftUp with Nikke.
My problem with the devs of Snowbreak is one of their justifications of just stopping using the EN VO is that more people used the JP VO... When that's basically the only VO from the get-go, most are going to pick that only option.
I bought a nintendo Switch 4 years ago. I've hung up my hat on any new games for PC/PS5 so checking out old remastered Retro games on the Nintendo Switch. I'm DONE with new games. Will check reviews on old retro remastered games to double check they haven't been woke-a-fied.
That'd be a good name for a game. "Collect the Waifus."
I just popped my old PlayStation copy of Ghost in the Shell, which I haven't played in a long time, and marveled in how shameless the opening demo was: Slick, risque, and very cool. -"Modern audiences"- Actual modern gamers and old school players have one thing in common about sex appeal: Yes.
_Dayum..._ now there's a blast from the past! Remember playing through that years ago... the difficulty curve was utterly _BRUTAL_ from what I recall; still, it was a fun enough little game, especially for the time...
Certainly, I'd still take it over 90% of the so-called 'AAA' s**t they keep churning out nowadays!
The little bit of "Wuthering Waves" I've played was good, though it really needs to not be locked at 1080p 60fps. It looks worse than it actually is when you're on a 1440p panel (due to scaling) and this is exacerbated by the inherent motion blur caused by a 60fps cap.
For those wondering it's really easy to scale 1080p to 4k since it's a nice 4x increase in pixel count, so you just turn a square group of 4 pixels into 1 and that's it.
You love to see it
I play Nikke and now I'm considering Blue Archive because the memes just won me over.
Go play Blue Archive. You will enjoy the story of the game and Waifus are great over there
both nikke and blue archive have no gameplay, I have no idea why people play those :/.
welcome sensei
@@Dja05 idk, nikke's pretty fun to me, the story is also good. For BA the main hook is the story for me as i just auto the gameplay anyway. I treat it as a visual novel with a gameplay.
@@nanotsuki makes way more sense to treat it as a visual novel, yeah. Never thought of it that way.
Have enjoyed playing Stellar Blade and never would have if these activists hadn't done a good job in promoting it hehe
Gud... Let them know...
Finally, a game for my male gaze!
That's putting it mildly
Nikke is unique in having a good english cast
Because a lot of the EN VO are independent VAs. They stream and a lot of them are vtubers.
Yes.
Tbh I still look at mobile with distain and disgust
I'm not ashamed to say that enjoy playing Wuthering Waves. The game is fun as hell, and the combat is surprisingly good, as it has J-Action combat akin to Devil May Cry or Bayonetta.
Too bad Kuro's programmers are the junior squad. Release riddled with bugs, can't fix 1 without introducing 2 more.
For the most part within my tolerance but makes it difficult to recommend to people when they have to fight the camera zooming in every time a certain skill goes off.
Every Asian free to play shooter I've tried doesn't allow the simple option of inverting the mouse Y. So I end up uninstalling within a couple minutes.
The average Gacha compared to Western AAA generally offers better story, better written characters and better visuals... Gameplay sometimes isn't as good as it could be on either.
Really enjoying the Nikke event so far - like the fishing game lol
Despite the pretty women, I won't play a gacha.
Now I can go black and play Bunny on the 1st Descendant. 😅
The nice thing about snowbreak is you don't need to have ARC(ARC anti cheat is in every other Asian gacha game) installed which means your storage drives take less of a beating since ARC does around 40-60mb of writes per hour which can take a decent chunk off your drives life if you play games that use it quite a bit. Not to mention you don't want ARC connected to any network whose traffic you don't want the CCP to comb through. It's also just a fun game to play and the music is fantastic.
They are still free to play cash shop simulator trash, I don't care how "based" the devs are and how much fan service they put in, when the main point of the game is the fucking cash shop. You know what would be based? Making a game with fan service which is also the complete package day one, with no extra payments, you know, like how every game used to be 20 years ago.
We have given too much power to people who should just do their fkg job.
My only critic of Snowbreak is them not doing what Nikke is doing, and that's hiring independents in the VA scene. It be streamers and/or vtubers.
I literally turn off voices if there's no EN VO. To this day, I have no idea what the T-dolls in Girls' Frontline and a lot of the Kansen from Azur Lane sound like.
Not "americans are offended by sexuality unless lgbtq", that's just a very weird, very minimal minority.
Cheeki Breeki!
I recently updated myself on this game (I'm on the discord and heard of the anniversary) since I last played in the 1.1 update and was surprised with how much they changed XD
remember the time when gamers used to shit on mobile gaming over console/pc gaming dominated the 3A mainstream game markets now the tables has turned its the other way around where the niche dominates
it was always like that, if you played gachas smartly you never NEEDED to swipe.. swiping is a want not a need
I will 100% agree with the mention of Metro towards the end.
Playing it in the Russian VO is more immersive than having the English VO. Largely because of the setting. It's in Moscow, Russia. So having everyone speaking English, while easier for just a playthrough, doesn't assist in immersion. While Exodus does have an American and a Kazakh in the crew, it's still more enjoyable in Russian for an Immersion run.
I will stan for Genshin any day of the week.
You pay: *Literally nothing.*
You get: Over a hundred hours of a solid 7/10 action RPG, with a focus on exploration.
(Play on PC, it's hard to play on mobile, but if your team is strong you can easily do some weaker bosses and daily stuff.)
They're the definition of irrelevant.
Claims? They are.
11:50 ANOOOO CHEEKI BREEEEKI I V DAMKEEE
The number of games I see on steam with a cute anime art style, with attractive girls, and then turn out to be MMOs or Genshin clones hurts. If they turned it into like a $40 JRPG i'd grab it instantly. I don't want an endless wave of content game. I want a game I can sit down, play at my leisure, finish and then move onto the next one.
Still waiting on an anime style Fallout game.
Hahaha how weird! I just watched like 2 minutes of a 5 month old video of this dude crying about the characters changing. So I finally decided to download it with a snide comment how he reminded me of the game and got me to download it. And now 5 hours ago you post a video about how that kind of guy is just annoying! How the world falls into line is so strange
