      I think Genshin's tempo is much faster so it's like you are always playing Honkai Star Rail at 4 times speed whereas Star Rail's system allows you to see the full animations of every character without them being switched out like 10% of the way through their animations. It also helps that Star Rail has EPICCC animations and aren't generic sword slashing animations like a lot of other turn based games so every skill use looks like an action reel.
      It's really crazy to me how they made a masterpiece of a turn based system on their FIRST try with almost no clunkiness which normally accompanies turn based games???

Jarilo arc story is decent overall it's not that impressive since I've seen a lot of this moment in anime or even on videogames and later the 2nd planet story is so boring so far. I swear some honkai fans love bringing up their favorite honkai impact 3rd and overhype it when someone enjoying star rail or genshin.

    Hoyoverse keep leveling up and the world is not ready for it. I'm an old school hardcore gamer from e.g. Path of Exile, which is one of the most theorycrafting heavy, unapproachable games of all time. I play Genshin and Star Rail now, no one is safe from these games. Not only is the story, visuals, sounds, overall delivery unparalelled, but they somehow are constanly nailing the balance between easy to learn hard to master, character balance, etc.
    Not only that, but for someone who can't play 12 hours a day anymore, a game where how you invest your limited resources matter let's me keep up or even get ahead even now that I've turned "casual".
    Hoyoverse is the best game developer since Genshin came out and it's not even close (actually maybe fromSoftware wins). Either way, they are one of the only game developers I will try every game they release because they earned that trust with me. The way some people used to feel about e.g. Blizzard. Zenless zone zero is going to be another masterpiece, you can quote me on that.

      That's the thing; it's difficult to game 4 hours a day much less 12 hours a day when balancing family and work. Genshin and Star Rail are bite size. I can log in, do my daily and do a story quest. The story has been great and can't wait until the next section comes out. Also at F2P, it's putting 60 dollar games to shame.

    • @RoaringTide
      @RoaringTide ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Mostly agree. I've played games since I was a kid (31 now), and SO MANY of them have had epic moments that I'll always remember. Hoyoverse are simply adding to that list, and they're especially amazing because ever since HI3, they've been innovating in not only the gacha space, but anime games generally. I liked gachas and loved anime, but always wanted a gacha of triple-A quality and large scale, then Genshin came along. It was graphically beautiful, had great character and world design, played well, and delivered ten-fold on music and presentation.
      Now they've got a strong turn-based title, and a roguelite on the way (which now seems EXTRA promising after seeing how they've handled Simulated Universe in Star Rail). Hoyo puts out such quality that I can't justify playing other gachas anymore (although Wuthering Waves is looking good). Their polish in just about every area of game design should be celebrated. They almost single-handedly raised the bar for gacha and anime games alike.
      And I do agree they strike a good balance of depth and ease as well, although more challenging content in Genshin would have been nice personally. I may work full-time, but I still get most of my gaming motivation from having to earn my wins and master the mechanics. I did eventually quit Genshin because of that, but I'm finding Star Rail to be better in this department. You mention From Software and they're a top developer for me too. Their games are full of atmosphere, mystery and playtsyle diversity, while also offering a satisfying level of challenge.
      Anyway, Hoyo is definitely up there in terms of developers for me. I'm excited about ZZZ and any other future titles in the works.

I hope this makes players at some point give other turn-based games a chance so people can stop calling it a "dead genre" or whatever.

    Someone on the subreddit made an excellent point I don’t remember what they said exactly but it was something along the lines of.
    Genshin is an introductory mihoyo game with lighter elements and more of a casual friendly story. It was an experiment of moving away from honkai impact 3rd.
    Honkai impact 3rd is an extremely dark, depressing and expansive story that took a couple of years of set up for what is a truly amazing payoff. Those who know have shed tears in HI3 with some of the the most incredible story moments and top tier soundtracks/music videos.
    Honkai Star Rail carrying the Honkai name and is already beautifully doing justice with a compelling story. Emotional impact, amazing music and an MC that has a ton of potential.
    And for those upset that Cocolia and Signora aren’t playable characters. They tried this with genshin impact. They killed off one of the most important side characters in her prime HI3 Himeko, we got her as a playable character and although she wasn’t the best and was quickly surpassed by other characters. I think they’re playing it safe by not doing this in Genshin and Star Rail and maybe instead using the death for some future story element (such as HI3 Himeko making appearances in crucial story moments).
    I think I understand what the original poster is saying there could be a potential of current characters getting an upgraded form like in HI3 with the Herschers. Perhaps Bronya using the same stellaron as Cocolia. I say this as pure speculation as there was some info on a dragon form of Dan Heng in the future.

    now this is how you do an anime game climax. Music is always important
    by doing the side quest in the planet overtimes you will found music to use when you at the train.. the theme name is "WildFire".
    cocolia is a weekly boss you can fight her and the theme will be there so keep fighting her just for the ost.

    I'm a gamer since I was like 10, and trust me... Yes, that was one of the best boss battle EVER. God fuck, they went BANANAS with that fight.
