I’ve heard so much about people saying “wuwa’s designs are bland, they’re repetitive, they’re soulless” but as an artist I can’t really view it the same way
I find that a lot of the repetitive-ness is more like a cultural design motif in Hualong, and the bland colors are there to enhance the saturated ones
Because in theory, you don’t want *everything* to be pretty. You’ll want some bad parts to highlight the good parts, sort of like the night sky; you want to have that dark background to contrast with the bright, burning stars
I’ve been so invested with the designs that I couldn’t stop myself from drawing characters; which is in a way, surprising since it’s so long since I last drew something
The way that every character has a simple but unique design makes drawing much easier; like how Mortefi wears a custom-made lab coat, or that YangYang has an open-hip pencil skirt design
I don’t feel pressured to draw every last detail, which makes the experience much better
All in all, I want to say that Wuwa’s designs are good to people who can look beyond that dark, inky abyss in the sky and see the twinkle of the stars. You see some lows, but you can see some highs as well 💖
OH MY GOD I FORGOT THE BEST PART!!!
Wuwa’s models have the clothing folds, body anatomy (i.e adam’s apple, shoulder blades, abs, collar bones) and imbedded into the model itself
If you look at Lingyang’s back you can see the muscle in his body despite being so small
Or you can look at Mortefi for his collar bone and adam’s apple
Or (looking at mortefi again) His clothes and layered bits all have the folds molded into his model
Which I found really interesting, because model typically want to have the least amount of polygons for better rendering purposes right? Yet Wuwa decides that they’ll make the models have these tiny details, for what purpose? Just to make the characters better imo
SO YEAH!! I love wuwa’s models and designs a lot………
Just hope they don't design more characters that looks closer to an actual prostitute like changli with how unnecessary and excessive their sex appeal are (explicit outfit + jiggling tits all over the place, seriously she's portrayed as elegant yet she dress like that? Most of the NPC like xinli has far better drip than her glorified lingerie)
@@lefetellc6247 My jaw dropped when i saw jinhsi's brachioradialis in that cutscene with scar.
The amount of effort put into the details of the anatomy itself is crazy, they could've not done it but they did, peak kuro.
This!!! Their design isn’t bland or soulless at all!! Not everything needs to be bright colors all the time. They have a cohesive look that translates well across many characters that are meant to all come from the same area. Of course there’d be cultural trends in their clothing and color palettes. There’s still so much variation while keeping it together.
You absolutely nailed it. Anyone who says the game isnt vibrant enough are the types who love everything to have super bright, highly saturated neon colours everywhere, when that approach to colouring makes things look like its mqde for children. If thats what you like, kool. But i love muted colours because - as you pointed out - contrast is extremely important.
It gives artists more room for creativity cuz their colour selection isnt limited and ultimately creates a much more mature and in some cases darker looks and tones, which i personally love.
It gives me peace of mind knowing other visual artists think the same way.
gacha games don't have to be 'gacha games', just comes down to the developers actually caring about the consumers
From someone who never dove into this genre. I feel like the f2p experience has been nice so far!
But Kuro gives a lot more that any other gacha games. Dude their previous games literally gives you 100% guaranteed in 60 pulls you'll get the newest characters. And give you 3 character selectors for beginner, and when a story are going to be long, the game will warn the player to tell that "hey you can read this someday so maybe lets skip the crap and just head to the game and read the story later"
@@Chadedit55the combat, responsive and generous devs, the weapon banner guarantee, and the ability to ‘infinitely’ farm echos/gear without using stamina is what full sold me on Wuwa. Glad I gave this game a shot
@@Chadedit55 to be specific other than open world gacha games other turn based or stratergy games they do give a lot more and that other anime gacha game
As long as you don't try to get or want every single 5 star being released then you'll be fine.
the only reliable game review i know, is my own review. My own taste and satisfaction in the game, not others. players can refer to other people's impressions but don't forget it's YOU the one who enjoys the game first
Well said!
I disagree man. I mostly juat watch reviewers that have had similar opinions to me. That way you get a feel for the game if ita worth wasting 70 bucks or waiting for a sale.
But in wuwa case, this game is free. So trying it out for oneself is a no brainer. No entry coat 👍
It's only a money sink if you got no patience.
Patience is the struggle of my entire existence 😪
Gacha games are inherently problematic. However you can offset this with the right mentality. #1 resist GAMBA. You don’t need every character and you’re better off accepting that you wont get them all. Pulls are expensive and the games aren’t designed around outright buying them. #2 don’t fall into the silly F2P trap. It’s ok to buy the $5 monthly pass and even the $10 battle pass (sometimes). That is if you’re actually enjoying the game and playing it regularly. #3 it’s not meant to be no lifed or played full time all of the time. After a while you’ll just be doing account maintenance most days. But interesting events and new end game content will be added regularly (not on genshin though) so you will have period where you’re playing a decent amount as well. #4 don’t try to be a super meta whore and min max everything. But, plan your pulls accordingly and try to keep a mostly balanced cohesive account.
These are the things I needed! Appreciate this homie. Curious how games like this have a meta for endgame.
@@jaytimetalkgames It's just mostly about character's perfomance compared to others, their stats etc. However meta changes and these will be eventually powercrept by new characters just like in every gacha, so pull for who you like, be it meta or not! In WuWa endgame is also based on skill so you still can clear everything
@@jaytimetalkgamesthat is the beauty of Genshin and Wuwa. End game does not require 3h per day or so. You can and should determine how much you play. They are packed with content, but there is no rush, everyone’s progress is different and that is alright. I have been playing Genshin for more than 3 years now. My routine is: do my daily quests / weekly missions, catch up on some stories when I fell like, explore a bit. Then there are some “end game” content that rotate every 2 weeks. I usually spend 20 mins to 2h doing them (depending on the difficulty. For wuwa, right now the end game is quite challenging, basically due to players not being at the “end” game yet haheha the game is quite new, so we don’t need to finish everything possible in the first weeks :)
Imagine once WuWa got all the issues fixed and becomes a great game . But people still refuse to try it out due to biased reviews and people talking down on the game due to the launch . To be honest in the future , just ignore people if they talk down on the game using its launch . People by then will be playing an already improved version of the game .
Wuthering waves is straight up the best gotcha geme ever made bro
Something is wrong with you. Get help.
@@gmdhaoWhy do you think like that? It is the best. The only one coming close to it is HSR. All others are 👎
The moment I saw this video's title, I thought 'If this video was about trashing IGN for giving Wuwa a 7/10, then I wanna give it 100 thumb ups!'
🤣🤣🤣 I should have done it. Because what were they thinking?!
IGN reviews are most of the time, inaccurate at best
your title is so relatable for me, i'm so allergy of gacha game, bcs in earlier days of gachas, i played one of the game, it was great experience, f2p friendly then the game shutdown, tried other gacha games, but no no no, i can't play the game bcs the characters i want is gatekeeped by the gacha,, after long times and exhausted from competitive games(moba), i quit then want to play single player game, but i can't buy the game, gacha is the only free one,, i decided to try it again, from Reverse 1999 then Honkai Star rail (my kind of game JRpg) and Wuwa (want to play open world but i don't want genshin), these 3 makes me happy and not time consuming my life, while it's free! xD, the thing is you need to be smart on pulling characters and calc the gems income
I'm the same way with mobas. And why I started branching out to other things too lol I'm learning this gacha systems slower. Had no idea what a banner meant lol
why you dont want genshin when looking for open world?
@@phongphamthanh5911 sometimes the game just isn't it for some people, weather that be the combat ,exploration ,characters and their designs just dont ring for some.
@@jaytimetalkgamesLol!!take your time, Gacha back in the days more predatory, no guaranteed😂, glad now improving a lot! I do support the game by buying subscription if I can, otherwise i don't need to overspend for a game, good luck to your journey
@@phongphamthanh5911gameplay was too slow and restrictive for me, and the banner system is such a turn off too, I do like their characters and music tho, glad they have HsR!!! I can enjoy their story, music, character, and gameplay is my fav. One of I don't like gacha is Building the characters 😂 usually took lots of time and resource
Wuthering waves is one of the better gachas so i don't blame you for having that perception 😅 good gachas are pretty rare
My personal favorite gacha is Limbus Company- I've been playing it since launch and it's improved in so many ways since then. I'll spare you the essay about the things I like about it, because giving my review of a game under this particular video is even more needless than usual.
All I'll say is that Limbus is the only gacha I'm planning on following till the day it inevitably ends.
LIMBUS COMPANYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BEACHH VORREYBRURIRRRU
@@ilyysm Yes, I agree.
Excellent work, Executive Manager.
"Don't allow outside critics determine your definition of fun" TRUUUUUUUE
Glad to hear you're having fun with Wuwa!
I'm looking forward to Zenless Zone Zero coming out next week!
I’m glad you’re trying this game out! Like what you like. Try out genshin too and see if you’ll like it too. Gachas can be fun sometimes, it depends, but i have high hopes for wuthering waves. My only tip is that the fact the game is f2p and live service can be hard to get used to. The game only wants you to play a little a day for a long time, which kinda sucks cause it can break immersion.
This is a good point. I've seen people emphasizing dailies as the biggest thing to do
Bro, that is some high Saturation/brightness gameplay you have
heres a Tidbit, make the Brightness lower near to zero to make the game to look "Post-Apocalypse" cuz that's also the genre of this game
oh and don't forget to always Lock-on to the boss using your Middle Mouse button
I have it at default brightness I promise lol. So I should turn it down? And I gotta remember the target button! Thank you
@@jaytimetalkgames yeah bro u should bring the brightness down to almost zero and the game looks 10 times better.
Ima do that when I hop back in, I just assumed that's how it supposed to look l9l. Wild that the brightness is set so high on default. Appreciate this tip
@@jaytimetalkgames It's kind of misleading because the setting is called "brightness" but it's actually more of a gamma setting. So lowering it make the colours look less washed out.
I’d say Mihoyo/Hoyoverse is the main reason why gacha games have “the reputation”. What makes or breaks any game is the business practices they perform. Kuro games actually cares about their community, and i can tell they are at least somewhat passionate about their game. They don’t treat their players like breathing wallets. WuWa is truly a gem of a gacha game.
Always happy to see another Aalto enjoyer!!
You are very fun to watch 😂 subbingg
a game that i like that people typically dont like is actually roblox, specifically a game called arcane odyssey, its an open world story based rpg based around like pirates and navy and magic and shit and at the start of the game you pick a magic and as you progress you earn stat points which you can allocate into different stats and whatever stat you put stat points in eventually towards the end of the game you "awaken" and the ghame gets your stat points and does a calculation based on how much you put into each stat and then it gives you a really cool ability based on that, for example if you do half of your stats into magic and and half into weapon you get to coat your weapons with your magic (so you can have like a blade covered in fire) and theres so many other stat builds that it makes every build feel really unique and in general i had a blast playing it (i have like 700-800 hrs of playtime)
Maaan, yes! I did not know what gachas was. I started playing Genshin at 1.2 because a friend recommended it to me as an exploration / story game that has no PvP and resource management. I spent less than 100 dollar on it since I started, i.e. 100 bucks for more than 3 years… and I only spent some times because I really love the game, besides the gacha. I have been playing wuwa since launch due to the combat mechanics. But the story is really whatever… Genshin in the other hand has an amazing main story and has also great mechanics to learn and study.
The new update is soooo good.
Working on a video around it next week!
i already play a lot of games in this gacha games genre. maybe around... 10 years more from my first gacha games.
for me, gacha is more like a term for their "monetisation" if that make sense.
because gacha games have so many type gameplay and genre, it is just all of them tied with the same ropes called "gacha" and "live service".
i feel kinda sad when some people say "gacha game? nahhhh forget it" kinda stuff because there are some genuinely good gameplay gacha games.
i understand and i will not sugarcoat it. gacha games look, feel, and for the most part predatory. but i always wish to say "give it a chance". they can be good side games even without spend a single coin/money.
but once again, i understand the sentiment of gacha games. thats why i never "forced" people. the most i can say is always "give it a try" 😂
nice video 🍻
Wuthering waves is the first gacha game to keep me interested for more than a few days. I tried genshin only played it for like a week. Tried honkai star rail (might give it another chance) only played it for a couple days. But this Wuthering shit? Im almost kinda hooked in tho ngl
im rlly jealous abt the smooth gameplay here bro, ive been dodging attacks in 2fps
Bro spoke truth.
RIP Brother. Ive been playing genshin for almost 3 years now. I wouldnt suggest this game to anyone.
The devs treat the players like disposable piggybanks without any ounce of respect for the players time and commitment to the game.
Genshins story is good at a later stage, combat is okey, quality of life is horrible compared to most gacha games on the market (Even after 4 years they still didnt add a skip button, which is a basic QOLife in most gacha games, a lot of the dialog is in text with no sound for a lot of the content, you can imagine the rough experience for people who dont like story)
You can give it a try if you really want to teste the poison, but Don't sink money into genshin before you are absolutely sure you actually like the game.
Making sure I am reading this right. Are you enjoying Wundering much better than genshin? I've heard people say once they played this, they couldn't go back to genshin. I definitely don't wanna go broke lol
@@jaytimetalkgamesthat is true. Yes. It’s because WuWa gives the open world Gacha game genre a new feel. The movement is very smooth and fluid, the combat is very engaging and punishing in the best way, and the devs listen. Genshin feels super bland and outdated. The combat is just matching the right colors and spamming 2 buttons on your characters, the weapon banner is a scam, everything feels sluggish..It makes people realise how bad it actually is. Genshin players got too used to the slop they were getting. Probably because they hoped it would get better but it never did
@@jaytimetalkgames yeah, Wuthering waves overall experience is much better then genshin.
Wuthering has,
Better combat (the soulslike gameplay is my favorite part of this game),
Better open world exploration, it feels like night and day to genshin,
Cant believe I have to compare this, Wuthering actually has a skip for optional content, which genshin doesn't have even after 4 years of the game being out.
I had to spend 2-6 hours of my life every time a big event happened in genshin just to SKIP the story i didnt care about. the other events that happen all the time also has 10-30 minit non voice acted dialog I had to skip through.
This is the worst part of genshin, and clearly shows how little the devs care about the players time.
There are more stuff that wuthering does better that ganshin but this comment is big enough already.
Im enjoying my time with wuthering. I hope i can one day quit genshin, Its honestly sad to see a game i once loved becoming such a bitter experience for me.
You can try genshin if you really want to, its a good free to play game honestly, but before you put any money into the game, understand the deves do not care even a little bit about their players time and you are just another piggybank for them to smash.
I guess i can say something cool before ending this comment to look cool or something,
"I have yet to see a fire that never fades" - Dark souls maybe? not sure which one.
@@jaytimetalkgames I have been playing genshin for 1341 days (yes there's a counter on how many days have you been logged in), and I can assure you, that Wuthering Waves is way better than Genshin. At least if you like the immersive feeling of playing Elden Ring / Dark Soul. Genshin is more beginner friendly to what you would call a casual gamer compared to Wuthering Waves, but the combat mechanics, making dodge actually more meaningful than in Genshin where you can close out any damage you took with healing / shield, also flashy animation is what makes Wuthering Waves stays above Genshin Impact imho.
I would say, if you ever tried to play Genshin, after getting a taste of Wuthering Waves, I think most people would be turned off by how clunky Genshin Impact system has. For example: your stamina bar is actually drained even when you're not in a combat, and you will definitely be running around the world when you just started, and you will be walking a lot more than you realize you were. (It's never a problem before Wuthering Waves is a thing) And this is only 1 out of many comparison out there.
But I'd suggest you to at least try it if you're really curious about Genshin Impact.
I do still playing Genshin only for the story and music, and I'd already invested heavily on this game, it'd be a shame to just stop playing all of the sudden 😂
It's just as simple as, all of the investment will now be moved to Wuthering Waves instead.
I hope you get the point that I want to point out, as I apologize for any grammar error. *english is not my first language
subbed. Lookin' forward to your content.
Welcome home!
it can be hard to find a good gacha game to play, and I'm beyond happy with Wuwa! it's a mixture of all my favourite genres :)
I personally really love gachas, I have so much fun about saving up for a character/weapon/card I really want and then getting it, it also helps make my account feel special or personalised compared to others, but it can be hard to find a gacha which gives just enough for it to feel rewarding and not frustrating. Wuwa is doing great, it's a shame that a lot of people are being so harsh on it and turning potential players off.
The biggest thing to be prepared for in Wuwa and Genshin is patience. These games do not need to be sprints. You don't need to rush anything, those who rush finish content a few days after release, max their characters fast will then complain there is nothing to do and the game is easy. These games slow drip content because their characters have limited time sales. Both Genshin and wuwa give you tons of in game currency through chests, events and in game activities so if one is patient you can freely save up enough currency to get the characters you want but it takes patience. What these games rely on is fomo. You pull out the CC cause your afraid your going to miss this character and/or their secret weapon. In Genshin (wuwa is to new to know this yet) most characters become available about twice a year. Some longer. Also these games do not release Mega content evey patch. Genshin does 8 patches a year. Of those 8 half introduce new areas or story. The other half are events and filler. I imagine Wuwa will be similar thus far they are copying Genshins format to a T with some tweaks. They are both fun games but different enough they can be played at the sametime. Both have areas where they are better than the other. But both games are worth checking out.
Can't wait for you to try out hologram fights. That's the most fun part of this game.
I think that most adults are able to think for themselves and have their own interests. I can't tell you the last time I even read what a "reviewer" thought about anything, especially anything related to my hobbies.
Best gachas to try right now are wuthering waves, zenless zone zero, honkai star rail and genshin impact. Wuwa is my fav hands down but star rail is also fun. Its just turn based. Zenless just came out and it seems cool. No reason not to try a free game as long as you have self control and don’t spend too much. Gamblers have a hard time with gacha
I play the two games for the open world and the lore aspects. As for the gacha, that just backs up the lore when you get Jinhsi and get voice lines about important people or events
I use reviews to get an idea what people feel about the game so to see if my taste is popular or not. If my taste is popular then I can hope that maybe there’ll be more games like that. It’s also to see what’s in the game, when I watch a review I look at the things they mention, not the way they feel about it. I’m also a fan of the gacha games when the gacha is good. Some gacha games are so good you can experience almost everything without spending a lot like snowbreak for example. I’m able to buy skins for a good price, but other than that I’m practically free to play with almost every character in the game. Wuthering waves has a similar thing so far with being able to buy constellations over time, but it’s no where near as good as snow breaks but it’s still pretty alright.
Welcome to the fold brother.
As someone who has played all sorts of gacha games this is a one of a kind. Most gacha games aren't good games but glorified Roulette. But lately there have been really fun and good games coming to the ''gacha'' genre.
wuthering waves
solo leveling arise
And 2 new upcoming once that seem promising called
Zenzless Zone zero and Project Mugen.
Anyway I wish you lots of fun in the game because there is a lot of fun to be had and to come.
Ps Reduce your brightness to 0 it will make the game look much better.
The best life choice in game was trying this game out. thankfully i found a team that does care about the players and got us so much more gameplay content that is finally fun to do and doesnt feel like you're forcefully playing a game (genshin) just cause nothing else as good like that exists
Yes. Same Aalto and Calcharo main here too. WW is W
I actually like to play pgr too (kuro games' first game who made wuthering waves) and skull girls (all gachas lols) wuwa made me fell in love during their developing periods and after cbt1 videos that made me drop genshin (genshin was very not responsive to player feedback and now after playing wuwa, I would not like to be hindered by the lack of Qol in genshin that wuwa already has in its first patch) 1.3 genshin player btw
FELLOW AALTO MAIN WOOOOO
W title man
This look lit and akuma is great did you see the gears trailer
I need to hop back on SF. I heard the buffs are good for some of the lesser fighters. And I'm planning to drop a video on gears E day. I'm so hyped
@jaytimetalks gears is home for us lol.
i just love this game
I am not going to lie. You have Aalto in a team, and you're going into a bossfight with him.
IMMEDIATE respect - could you share some thoughts on how his playstyle feels like?
Because I want to build my Aalto, but have been putting it off due to thinking he might be too slow or not versatile enough to roll as an aero-centric support
I played my fair share of gacha games over the years, because I'm broke and I could get enjoyment out of mediocre games for a few days/week, I played many garbage ones, many bad ones, but also some decent and even great ones.
Nowaday I only play a few ones as my standard raised up over time, there's just so many things that a lots of gacha do that I can't stand anymore.
I tried Wuthering Waves without much convictions TBH since I kinda got burned up on all the open world game that released this past decade, but since I play Punishing Gray Ravens, the studio's previous game, I gave it a try because I know at least the combat would be satisfying, and I'm not disapointed, tho maybe a bit simplier compared to PGR.
The one that I sticked the longest with and still play to this day (4 and half years now), and the one that raised my standards the most, is Arknights, a gacha tower deffense that lean more toward the strategy game, wich I know, is deffinitly not to everyone's taste,but for thoses who love that kind of stuff it's a great game.
It's also IMO one of the rare game that can somehow benefit from being a gacha if you have the right mentality, precisely because of its strategic nature, since you can use up to 12 characters in a stage, and not everyone's roster will be exactly the same, it make the satisfaction of clearing a difficult stage that much stronger, especialy when you use the weaker units, and it birthed a huge "self imposed challenge" community.
I used to think the same way about gacha, but it's because I was playing trash ones. There are genuinely some really good gacha games out there!
I'm not playing it simply because I don't have time and money to invest in another game anymore. I am playing Genshin and Tekken if I have free time and that's about it. Most of my friends tried TOF when it launched. They're now playing WuWa along with Genshin and they're enjoying both. Me, I just can't add another game to play.
Wuthering Waves is the only game where i can say that you dont actually need to spend so much or not spend a dime at all to feel powerful because each character are powerful enough with the right build, not just that, characters have different play styles too
You should try lowering your brightness to about 0-30%, it's actually contrast not brightness so the game may look a bit washed if your brightness is to high lol.
I'd give honkai star rail a try. I absolutely love the story and enjoy the combat so much.
wyh does your game looks way better than mine? i have max graphics too, did you install a mod to better the graphics or something?
My brain is too old and smooth to use mods, haha. I think I turned the graphics all the way up, but now I need to see since you brought it up!
The game look better with brightness 0 because for some weird reason default brightness washout the saturation.
also max graphics usually also different depending on what specs do u have
game is meant to be saturated
they just recently added the brightness slider last beta because CN players complain and complain about how dark the game looks
so they just slapped a brightness bar on it and didnt really changed the overall colors of the game since a lot more people in the EN side of things liked the game as it was
they made it default semi bright when you first download it which kinda ruins the colors since they arent meant to be like that
prob the thing ruining your graphics...or just your device specs
@@Brother_Zeke yeah, figured it out after playing with the config a little, if anyone is interested though i have: 32gb ram 3060ti 850w golden and a 5600x ryzen
You may try Kuro Games' other game too: Punishing Gray Raven. It was the foundation of combat/other stuff as well for Wuthering Waves.
Welcome to the Genshin killer, Wuwa.
Wait till he got to act VI
as someone who has played genshin since beginning, both are fun, i would say story wise genshin is more enjoyable same as honkai star rail if you like turn base, combat wise genshin can be fun but its not challenging which isn't a bad thing especially you just want to explore the world of genshin it is quite rich and has many interesting hidden lore. most of the downside for genshin is how developers treat the players and lack of challenging things to do/end game for late game players or people who are super invested in it
Let's make wuwa the best gacha game ever
+1 sub 👏
Exactly. People were trashing Gotham Knights but the game itself is great
You should decrease the brightness to 30%, it will look much better.
tbf, you can play Genshin without spending any money, unless you're the type who wants all the characters but luckily, I dislike a lot of the characters on Genshin so I was able to save up free gems on the ones that I do like and was able to play Genshin Free to Play for a couple of years but speaking of Wuthering Waves, in my opinion, it's basically just a better version of Genshin, but seeing as this is your first gacha, as long as you keep the right mentality and avoid giving into the "fear of missing out" that all Gacha games are built upon, then you can play and enjoy Gacha games just fine, just remember that at some point, stamina systems like Wuwa's stamina system called waveplate or Resin for genshin is designed to limit your progression at a certain speed that can be alleviate by spending money, but as long as you don't want to speed run and want to max out your characters and grind non-stop like an MMO then the stamina system shouldn't be much of a hindrance.
EDIT: you mentioned wanting to try Genshin after Wuwa, just as a heads up, I used to play Genshin but after experiencing Wuwa, It made traversal in Genshin feel sluggish and out of date, since in essence, Wuwa basically saw what Genshin lacked and needed changing, then did it on their own game. though many people might not like me for comparing Genshin and Wuwa, but it think it's fair to make a comparison, it's basically like comparing COD and Battlefield back in the day, people fought over those games. though, i'm not gonna stop you from trying genshin, who knows maybe you'd like it better, since Genshin's combat is a lot more casual and easy, the art style is more colorful and the characters more "young looking" so it depends on the person's taste which one they'd like better at least in those 2 aspects.
EDIT 2: was watching your video about being held hostage by games, a thought came into my mind, there's a system in gacha games you have to be aware of, there's daily commissions, daily quests etc. that's design to keep players playing every day and build loyalty towards that game by enticing them with limited currencies, Primogems for Genshin and Astrite for Wuwa, they're currencies used to acquire characters so they are quite precious, both Genshin and Wuwa has them, in fact most if not all Gacha games have that daily quest system, while at first you may feel "FOMO"ed by not doing those quests everyday, in the long term, they can hurt your enjoyment of the game, at least for me it did. I played Genshin a few days after it launched and pretty much played it daily for a year but after that time, needing to login daily just to do the daily quests was really hurting my enjoyment with the game but I still kept at it despite not liking it (daily quests), since i thought to myself "those primogems are a limited currency, i can't lose out" but I realized, i'm just hurting myself and those 60 primogems i earn is not worth if I end up not enjoying the entirety of the game because of it, so just keep in mind, don't feel forced to do your daily quests or commissions when you start feeling like it's holding your hostage and it'll just make your feel burned out from the game faster.
one tip for playing gacha games in general:
Don't spend for pulling the gacha itself, you may spend for Battlepasses, Skins, Monthly Subscriptions BUT NEVER EVER spend for pulls unless you have guaranteed pulls and only need 10-20 pulls left until pity. ex: when you already lost 50/50 in this game.
Wait till you meet hologram boss 😂
They will test ur sanity, if you can parry / dodge good for u coz those bosses can 1 or 2 hits you no matter how strong or perfect ur characters.
Late to the party but heres my long winded take.
The issues that gatcha games have stems from 2 main things. First, being a free to play live service game, the monetization has no upper limit. A standsrd $60 game gives you all of its content for the list price and thats it. Maybe youll get dlc you can tack on or maybe you wont. A live service game has to constantly add content to keep players coming back so theres always something new that you could potentially spend money on.
This leads jnto the second issue, gatcha gets its name from the gambling aspect. As we all know there are people who are very susceptible to the addictive properties of gambling. And there are 100% many companies that would exploit this to make more money. Since theres no upper limit to how much you can spend one could easily find themselves spending way more than necessary or healthy.
While genshin has many issues it was the first big gatcha to see real mainstream success for good reason. A lot of care and effort went into its design and story, it knows ots audience well, andnit doesnt push it's monetization in your face and try to nickel and dime you, and its pity system (which mitigates the gambling by creating an artificial bpoint where you are guaranteed to get the item you want) has become the standard for games of the genre although it still could stand to be much more generous.
There are many gatcha games that are just cash grabs attempting to exploit the 2 conditions i mentioned above. In thee end the difference between a good and bad gatcha game is how much effort goes into making a good core game that players will want to support vs how much effort goes into trying to compel players to spend money.
Wuthering waves is Kuro Games' second game to show they are very much in the camp of the former and not the latter.
wuthering waves' combat is the best rn, genshin might let you down if you compare
more wuthering waves videos please
It's on my list! 🫡
@@jaytimetalkgames thank you i really enjoyed this one! 😊
Hoyoverse copied some mechanics in PGR for their new game maybe alot
Gacha games have a negative reputation because of its predatory marketing
Most character are lock in a gacha mechanic thats why it is called gacha game thats the main take away of the negative reputation but most gacha now adays are really improve before most gacha games are like chibi character turn based game mostly but now nearly all of it especially the anticipated gacha are 3D modeled games semi-world and in WUWA case Open World its quite a new development of era on gacha games to become like this it has a higher development
I hope you enjoy playing the game
Advice take i can give is to not rush everything dont let the meta kill your fun on the game and also don't overly go and interact on any gacha community because they can go overly toxic and biased against said games
Especially WuWa have alot biases against it from alot of gacha players because it directly compete against Genshin which have alot of very toxic and heavily biased fan they can overly criticized the game over a small stuff competing against said side by side(i mean i can understand why they compete it because they have the same genre of game but can they not go toxic about it because said have better thing than the other one)
Yeah Gacha game has also a problem of toxicity in the community since gacha mostly PVE they go PVP on the community hahah😆
Gladly you are enjoying the game
And hope you continue to enjoy game
If decide of spending on the game spend responsible
And Avoid twitter and reddit community at all cost
Some gacha games really exist as excuse to take your money .Some other are actually trying to be good games in the first place. Don't get me wrong ; They both want your money but at least the good ones won't force your hand 24/7 .This mean you can be a f2p as long as you want and when the time as come , you gonna open the shop on your own. Or maybe never . Happens when the game is really good to its players base
Genshin is also really fun
Nah
The only fun thing in genshin is the elemental reaction system. Everything else, nope
wuwa isn't for everyone, while sure, it has a "end game" doesn't mean it is for everyone, the people that have been complaining about end game should have quit genshin a long time ago.
They actually quitting right now.
Well no duh that's every game ever. No game can be for everyone it's just not possible
How is this a thing? How are people so ret*rded they can't make their own opinions? Don't follow what other people say just try things out and decide for yourself what's fun and what's not. People are like bots nowadays they gotta be told what's "fun". It's the same with tier list and meta, don't limit yourself with other people's opinions. Exploits only happened in the past because everybody was trying to see potential in everything.
Those who let an Asmond video sway their decisions are lambs to the slaughter.
Sorry you feel that way and hope you continue to find your own enjoyment in games
