#genshinimpact #Doro44 #wutheringwaves - Hry
Something my editor forgot to include was another con, the open world is GREAT but I feel like they could definitely add more enemies and things scattered around. There are times I feel like it’s empty but it’s not too bad. Either way I’m LOVING this game!
This game is kinda honkai impact 3rd+genshin impact
Will try when it comes out
Completely unrelated to all this : Hope you're ready for 2.1 HSR.
Do not forget your loyalty to hoyoverse
*this is supposed to be a joke, did you understand it?
@mohammadgamer6875 Sure
Don't forget your loyalty tectonemeatrider. it's a joke, by the way, did you understand it?
@@mohammadgamer6875don't worry.He'll keep on licking...
If you don't know yet, as your world level equivalent thing in Wuthering Waves rises, the bosses will acquire new movesets and new mechanics apart from the standard hp and atk power increase.
Some people said they seemed like entirely new bosses at higher levels.
That’s so sick I didn’t know that thank you!
Bro leveling your characters gonna take a long as* time 😂
@@skyreaper1994 Good. At least it's not Genshin.
@skyreaper1994 that's great tbh
Some bosses will also have like buffs and added mobs or i guess "echoes" for themselves. Im still shocked that i got comboed by scar 💀
Kuro Games may have been taking notes on Genshin's player base surveys. I'll definitely play this game when it releases. 😌
LMAO
Every newer gacha done it at this point, besides genshin himself xD
@@volodyan7780Genshin will do it sometime in the future
lmao so true and I am loving it
Keep up the work kuro games
They should be and that's great. Because a lot of Genshin players are unsatisfied with the current game and not just the rewards, and are not looking for something "better" and WuWa could be what they're looking for.
As a person who absolutely loves Genshin, I'm definitely gonna play Wuthering Waves. And I'm really glad that Genshin finally has a similar (not rip off or any of that bullshit) game to compete with. Genshin has the greatest story and Wuthering waves has a crazy good gameplay.
I'm not gonna stop playing Genshin so I somehow will have to manage giving time to both games. I think it will be worth it.
Same!
The story becomes good as genshin now. A lot of people say that they are the 2 gacha with good story
the gacha system is a huge plus point as well
Yes. We now have two open world gacha games, which means competition and people can choose which one they want, the more easy, casual game which is Genshin or the more challenging combat which is Wuthering Waves. Or they can play both. And I am open to more of these types in the future.
@@blueberry7478 Wuthering Waves story is not that good. So often, you will just see streamers skipping the story, and there is a lot of yapping that takes place. Take it from Scar, who will continue to talk even while we are fighting him, or how everyone is immediately warmed u to the Rover who has these mysterious powers and memory loss and they be a stranger to the group. They appraoch Rover like they are a messiah.
It went to far into the other direction of being friendly to Rover. Would be a better plot direction if they were more on-gaurd against Rover. Yangyang may exude fear of Rover, Baizhi would exude caution against Rover, and Chixia would exude curiosity to Rover and they would gradually grow warmer towards Rover, like getting to know people and soon become friends.
I also find that Rover in the story has such a depressing resting face like she is getting Vietnam War flashbacks.
The story did improve but not parallel to Genshin's. Genshin's story does get perceived to fall flat and that is mainly due to dialogue bloat. Strip that away and you get yourself a fantastic story. Genshin's main story is incredibly good since Sumeru, and even several of the world quests since Inazuma have been fire like Tsurumi Island, Jeht's whole character arc, mamere the painter, Talochard and Curve's world quest, and just the lore bombs you get from NPCs like Liben. Wuthering Waves leverages the gameplay more than its story while Genshin leverages its story, usually a hit or miss, but makes a lot of hits with its event stories, like Albedo's event quest 1 and 2, the Iradori festival, the Weinlesefest Razor character arc, the 2.8 GAA character arcs of both Fischl and Xinyan, as well as the 3.7 event quest with Kaveh's and Layla's character arcs.
Characters in Genshin are better characterized but characters in Wuthering Waves can enjoy their skillset more.
13:10 when your world levels up the enemies not only get more HP and tankiness, they also become more aggressive and precise in their attacks
Now that's detail
And they nerfed the fight bosses in the story, so the bosses you fought you can challenge them in the open world and they are way more stronger than they were in the story.
They are just trying to balance the game to be challenging to the ones so seek for hardcore fights and to be casual friendly to those who just want to know the world, the lore, and gameplay.
@@Gheniel_I feel like the bosses should be harder in the story and they become easier in the open world becs we have experience of fighting them.....but that's just my opinion
@@nicolas._.2294 that would make hardcore players feel dulled by how they were feeling good during the fight then it dissapoints them after...
@@nicolas._.2294its still early maybe they make it harder on both story and open world but i think its the best decision to introduce u the boss before fighting the real deal that happens in PGR boss in story is easy but in endgame they are stronger, tanky has a lot of attack patterns/mechanic so u really need to learn to dodge and not brute force the fight.
Very well said doro, you covered the positives and negatives very well. Ppl need to understand that two games of the same genre can exist at the same time. There doesn’t need to be just one. Very good vid
Thank you!
man i dont really like the fact that people hate the designs so much. I feel like we have gotten used to way to flashy designs that stand out way to much if you put them in a crowd. Now i agree on the fact that they should use more colors instead of just black and white and a little bit of difference in color but in my opinion i think the designs are fine and some of them are really cool . And i think they fit in the setting of the world they are placed in.
I agree!!
For me, I dislike the fantasy Chine aesthetic, I've got enough of that with mihoyo. Two or three characters are fine. It's a matter of taste of course
@@devildante9 that is totally understandable
isn't kuro also chinese? i feel like complaining about this is kinda stupid@@devildante9
@@devildante9 they're chinese character in chinese region with chinese name why are you complaining they look like chinese lmao 🤣
One more important point, the echoes are the artifact system of this game. And...you can infinitely grind them (WITHOUT USING YOUR STAMINA!!!!!). Do what you would with that info guys.
This I like
Don't you still need stamina to upgrade them tho
@@yellowshiro yes, but thats still way better than other systems, since if you get a trash echo you can just…. Not upgrade it.
@@arkyflame1599or using the as upgrade material/ feeder
@@arkyflame1599 same as artifacts
Healing turtle was throwing that shit back
Even though I can't play the CBT version but based on reviews from CZcamsrs who have played this game, I find that this game is not that bad, that makes me believe that if its developer works hard to improve it, it will be very good
Same, I mean some mechanics and animation ain't that attractive for me, but I still think this game can be amazing
I couldn’t have said it better myself!
That’s bad? Nah
You're a glass half empty kinda guy huh? Based on what I watched they're more optimistic, half glass full kinda response. The game isn't "not that bad." It is good overall from the writing to the combat with certain issues on some aspects such as less interesting open world events.
They've already been working very hard to get here, so chances are good the release will be better than the CBT
The character designs are fine. You don't really need a lot of colors to make them pop, just some physical traits would make them stand out such as Mortefi's dragon scale cheest or Sanhua's glowing eye. As for the 'grinding skins' thing, in PGR, when your character reaches a higher power level, they gain a new 'skin'. I'm using it in quotes because it's just their default look but slightly changed, so it's up in the air whether WuWa will have that or not.
I'm an advocate for that evolving skin from PGR. It's such a great touch and helps with immersion. My favorite is Bianca Veritas' binoculars. She freaking wears them during his core passive. The clothing details actually have some use in PGR. Not just an accessory strapped on your body.
Also, the character designs are fine. The yoji-shinkawa-like pragmatic minimalism approach is so unique in a sea of gachas trying to copy Genshin's character designs. Some improvements are needed for some characters but they're overall great.
@@hijodelsoldeoriente Honestly the default evolution in PGR is a hit-or-miss because some characters can look vastly different from how they started like Lotus, Haicma, Camu and Entropy, while some looks barely changed like Ember, Dawn, Hyperreal and Noan.
The more vibrant colors is a welcomed addition but it shouldn't replace the main palette of the game and its character designs IMO.
They're used to overdesign from hoyoverse games.
@@jaderabbit898 Indeed. Like how I hate Haicma's Visor but it makes sense lore-wise. 😂
I just love the system because it gives variety and aids in the immersion in a sense. I really hope they add some here but I highly doubt it.
As for the colors, I love them as is. I love that colors are often used as accents with the neutral shades of black, white, and gray only acting as the foundation. They could go with a colored monochromatic take though just like the new red Luna.
@@hijodelsoldeoriente I’m okay on it. Like, it’s good for free costumes but some don’t make sense in lore. You mean to tell me, Watanabe never had a mask on his face all this time, same with Kamui?
Monochromatic works too, or a mix of the monochromatic colors that slowly fades into other shades. Hanying’s new skin ironically is the best example of this as it covers multiple green shades.
Not a Genshin killer, but it's possible it can give competition and it can' be help its being compared. I mean it's both open world, has exploration, real time combat, and waifus and husbandos. Genshin players who wants something a little more complex battle system will check this out and be at right at home. I don't play PGR, but if the devs chose to listen enough to change 90% of the game opens the possibility of more endgame content, better rewards, and a lot more. This game has a big potential and possibly a bright future if Kuro games continue to improve this game. I hope this game will be successful.
Actually bro, As someone who has been playing Genshin since the very beginning. This game definitely has the chance to kill Genshin. Now, Let me explain why, First of all the majority of the Genshin fans are tired of all that stuffs from the devs. The only people who are now defending Genshin are the kids who aren't even aware of all the dramas and stuffs. Second of all, Genshin fans are going to have enough time on their hands once a nation's archon quests ends so this is basically the part where they will have to eventually decide to put their time elsewhere. And finally, Kuro can really give a middle finger to Hoyo by being generous to their own community since I am sure Wuwa devs are aware of Genshin's stingy rewards and stuffs which I believe that Kuro can learn a lot of stuffs from and can finally make up ending a product so good which the Genshin devs still hasn't been able to done. And btw all these is coming from a Genshin whaler but I am finally done with Hoyo and I am now gonna focus on Wuwa once it releases.
@@tuhin1757 "First of all the majority of the Genshin fans are tired of all that stuffs from the devs.".
No they are not, the majority of the Genshin fans are just playing the game in silence. You never hear from the majority, you only ever hear from the constantly whining loud-mouthed minority, who always just want more free stuff. Those very same people will probably move to this game and drag this playerbase down as well, because people like that can't leave their sense of entitlement at the front door.
Those of us who are playing the game... FOR THE GAME AND GAMEPLAY, which is a radical idea I know, don't care about free stuff, or lots of rewards. When the game drops updates like Chenyu Vale and characters like Xianyun, we (the gamers) have a great time... the gambling addicts however, continue to whine. The sweaty tryhards who need to flex in a CASUAL game will also continue to whine. No matter what WuWa does... the same people will continue to whine.
As for who is defending Genshin, I will be 60 in a couple of days, I spent 30 years as a professional game developer (I worked on more than 60 games and still write game mods and applications) and I will defend Genshin because of what they (the devs) give us... FOR FREE... every 6 weeks. People who work hard for a living appreciate what is created or produced by other people who also work hard for living, especially when you have worked in the same game industry. Entitled juveniles, who think the world owes them everything they want and more for free, have no idea what that means.
I am looking forward to this game because open-world games are my thing and as I am retired, I have time to play more than one gacha... I already play Genshin, HSR, ToF and Reverse 1999. What I am not looking forward to though, is that same loud-mouthed minority playing it as well, because it will infect the playerbase of this game with the same cancerous toxicity. Some of them are already here... The best thing that could happen to those people, is they breathe out one day and forget how to breathe in... nothing worthwhile would be lost.
@@tuhin1757
im gonna actually agree and disagree on some parts of what you said (no hate okay, just love my friend)
yes i agree that most of the players in genshin are so bored (including myself) because the game doesnt have any content other than abyss and exploration but i dont believe that WuWa will be a genshin killer because some players will still play the game despite the lack of rewards and the treatment hoyo is giving to players, not just kids, but there are the same age as you as well because you know... GI has several millions of players. and i agree with you about the part that hoyo is really stingy when it comes to rewards, it sucks to be honest.
But some players will play both games because they do what they want to do, we cant stop them from doing that because we players have our own choices and decisions. for me i cant leave genshin, and i will still play the game and also play WuWa because I love exploring and open world games (i played BotW and ToTK)
"if you dont like genshin, uninstall it"
"if you dont like wuwa. dont play it"
"if you like both games, play both games." thtats the point here, TO HAVE FUN, because games are meant to be fun, right?
and also there are multiple reasons why they cant leave the game and one of them is that they have an attachment with GI. I will set myself as an example because Genshin was introduced to me by a friend 3 years ago and i was battling with depression that time, and when i played genshin with my friend, i start to remember again that THERE ARE STILL MANY FUN THINGS TO DO AND TO DISCOVER in this world, that I forgot because the depression just swallowed me.
but yes moving on, some of them are also lore players (for others the story is shit, but for others the story is good)
some of them are character collectors etc.
im not going to jot down a long list but there are many reasons.
and yes i rather say WuWa will be a competitor to GI, not a genshin killer. I also cant wait to play WuWa because of the combat design (like DMC KH2 and KH3) and also for the story and stuffs
and again, we can agree and disagree, thats valid my friend, just love hehe good day!
@@ravenouszeroyou said that wW have a similar combat to Kingdom hearts 2 how?
@@GOLD16526 its very fluid. Hmm kinda like Genshin is Kh1 then kh2/kh3 is similar to wuwa
I played Punishing for 1 year. Dude, this game is incredibly wonderful, it's also made by Kuro Games. The only problem with the Game is the Cell Phone Memories which takes up a lot! I ended up uninstalling it due to lack of memory. But I'll tell you there's no way to get bored there.
I got 5 characters three 5 stars in 1 week! And I didn't have any pulls! I picked it up while I was playing because the game gives a LOT of pulls!! I really want to play Whutering waves if it's available on my phone.
3 5stars in 1 week can be they give a lot of pulls or u just that lucky bastard who post online about your pulls
@@nicholasxamotainiumgilgamesh hahahaha , I guess I just got lucky! And the punishing banners are in different classes. There are banners that last more or less 2 weeks, 5-star banners and there are those that arrive together with events and skins.
@@nicholasxamotainiumgilgamesh PGR give players free S character selector on almost every 1/2 anniv/ anniversary event. and not to mention a free S character you can grind and put them in meta team. that just how generous they are. 60 pity and 100% rates in character banner is like a magic in action gacha RPG nowdays.
@@nicholasxamotainiumgilgameshand debut character banners are 100 percent guaranteed with the guaranteed at 60 pulls
it was really boring for me but apparently the early game sucks in pgr. Might try it again to see what the endgame feels like until wuwa comes out
The boss is depend on the player level, the bigger the level, the bigger the dmg, health and aggresiveness
Don't forget that they also get new moves.
Casual gamers: 💀
I didn’t know that, that’s amazing!
@@Infi4u Absolutely. I just saw Rexlent try the Tactical Hologram of Tempest Mephis Difficulty 1 (lvl 45 and Rex's characters are 50). Damn, the boss had a different moveset from its two world boss counterpart. And when he did Difficulty 2, the boss has become more agile with the stagger time lessened and became more aggressive with whole new movesets 🫠
This is exactly what I want to see, all the praise the game is getting is deserved but I want everyone that got access to the CBT2 to nitpick at every single detail they can AND actually provide the feedback to the devs, I want as much QoL stuff as possible to be addressed before the official release, the gameplay is probably good enough for release, maybe just small adjustments or bug fixes but it's good.
We as the community and with devs that are listening to all and every feedback need to ask for everything that we want so they can see if it's possible to apply as much of it as possible, it's prime time to criticize the CBT2 so the official release gets even better.
For my part I feel like the menu style is not very appealing, it gets thw job done but it could be improved, PGR old menu and interface was a little outdated but currently it's pretty good, we don't need to wait for WW to release a patch in the future to get a better one when we can address this right here before the game is completely finished. It will probably give the devs a lot more work to do but again, it's QoL, the core game and gameplay is plenty good, if on top of that thw QoL stuff is near perfect, people will feel comfortable just by being in the game without playing.
Imagine if you're running in the city and random NPCs walking in the streets see you and get out of the way before you reach them to avoid "Collision" or other similar stuff, that would be hella cool.
I agree so much about what you said regarding the UI. The UI style is dated and lacks personality. You compare this to Arknights Endfield UI and it's not even close. If Arknights can invest in a great stunning Ui, I'm hoping Wuthering Waves can too.
I’m personally hoping the UI is just placeholder. Usually on of the last things to get done is UI
Oh I thought I was the only one. I'm not a designer at all but in my head one of the first things that I always comment on is ui xD it can really make or break an experience. One of my favorite games finally updated their ui and icons a couple months ago and it's literally made the whole experience better. It's one of the things I love about genshin. If my memory serves me correctly, I've never felt like genshin ui was really lacking (at least in their style). Just always felt pleasing to look at.
I don't play Genshin and dabbled a bit with StarRail, but I think the colors and themes of the characters in this game fit the world. If they are using muted versions of colors then characters should dress in muted outfits. Perhaps there is a section that is brighter and you have characters from there with more vibrant colors. Time can only tell.
I prefer that color over Hoyoverse, cartoon vibe (no hate just personal opinion)
@@blueberry7478 Yeah. No hate here either. Just kinda guessing if that is what they might do overall. Who knows?
Not a fan of the colors used on characters, personally. It isn't about muted or whatever. It's that every character and enemy is greyscale, with one color added. If the hair isn't greyscale, it is that one color. Pink haired girl? Clothes have pink. Red+grey haired guy? Yeah, clothes are that color. Chixia? She somehow found wraps her chest and shorts that exactly match her hair color and each other... and everything else? Greyscale. And enemies are the same. And the downside to this is that the characters and enemies blend into each other, and into the terrain when that is grey (rocky areas, for example), unless the character is one like that pink haired girl.
It's okay to use more than one non-greyscale color on a character. You don't have to use neon and bright colors, but use more than one. Use a different shade of green for the pants than the coat. Use some brown pants with a muted yellow shirt, no grey at all. That sort of thing. Do justice with the palettes to the work the 3d modellers put in.
I liked what you said about the combat, that you don't one shot things in seconds but it didn't mean it was harder, it's because the majority of mobs kinda don't have a chance to retaliate when you are going ham on them, let's hope in the official release they get mobs more super armor.
I don't agree with people saying the the characters design are mid due to the color palette, I accept and understand that color is life itself and it does influence the appeal of things but color palette and model design are two different things, just because there are only like 2 to 3 colors being used doesn't mean the design is bad, just that the vibe is not your jam, not bashing at you but the people who say "I looks bad" instead of "It FEELS bad".
Though I have to agree that Kuro is very minimalist with the color palette (though Qu from PGR is just black and green and I think is Peak character design but that's me) but their skins are actually God tier IMO, where they aren't as bold with color palette in base skins, they compensate with the cosmetic skins.
If the Kurogames, will release them as is, and some players will complain about character design.
Kurogames will definitely bring out another move called, Skin Release.
@@mr.edelweiss I swear, I'm not ready for the God tier skins, in PGR when I first saw that Bianca Archer Ink Hermit (something like that) skin it felt practically like playing a completely new character, their skins are not just cosmetic or simply effect changers, they go the extra mile.
Stigmata Time Garden skin?
Rosetta Racer skin?
Liv Empyrea Fairy skin?
Crimson Weave Chinese Dragon skin?
Lamia Mermaid skin?
They are the Goats :'v
@@Gacha-Ritual-Master even skins aren't even gold rarity, have changes on their idle animations, attack animations and effects on their attacks.
Apparently the enemies get more agressive when you rank up the world level. I think they are doing the pgr route where the story enemies are easy but you have options to fight a harder version of the boss
watching you play Wuthering Waves was so much fun, I seriously can not wait for this to release
KURO RELEASE THIS ALREADY! but don't at the same time please take your time Kuro >.
Fingers crossed this year
@@Doro44c They have to release this year because of some license for release or something, that they'd have to renew if they delayed. Plus it looks like a lot of people are very happy with the CBT2 so release might be just around the corner. Saw some people talking about next 2 months, personally think that it'll release October at the latest.
16:01 Yeah, in PGR so far (beside the new one) all characters has alternative skins that you can get for free in an event (or was it event login bonus), grind, or buy using premium currency, so it most likely they would do the same here.
Their fashion sense has grown on me overtime. A lot of it reminds me of techwear, which is a real time fashion that I actually I would expect from this setting. Sometimes I believe we’ve gotten so used to overly gaudy designs in the anime gacha genre that it’s very easy to misconstrue the “less is more” approach as not enough, when it fact it is enough. Some of their fashion in this game looks realistic enough to be worn in real time and it wouldn’t be considered as a cosplay costume, which when I look at it that way makes it pretty cool. So all in all, I genuinely think their fashion direction is refreshing.
Bro this video is fire, great summary of your experience so far and what we want to hear as someone who knows nothing about it
Some people thinks others are saying this game is not difficult like genshin but they don't understand this game has a level up system where along with you monsters also get more aggressive and get tanky asf there's also echoes which are imo will take time for people to gather and doro my guy seriously your insight on wuva is best by far it's not a copy it's it's own identity we can say the same for genshin cuz glider system is in zelda yk and island making in mond is similar to zelda but again every game takes inspiration from everyone
Wuva is more like zelda,honkai impact, PGR and elden ring's bosses and apocalyptic scenery(elden ring for bosses and scenery feels not zelda)
Yeah I didn’t know that but that’s so awesome
Im ok if the overworld and story is not that hard tbh.
As long as the endgame and reward system can offer more than genshin.
@@LPZGaming03 i won't talk about rewards because it's still beta even if it's not map looks big enough to get lots of pulls even in beta it's map is comparable to 2 regions and 2 expansions of genshin as long as it lets f2p get 1 5* every patch it is good enough tbf or maybe close to pity that should work on stalemate patches
It's great that we can now another option for a open world rpg w/ real combat. Or we can play both.
Wait, Genshin is difficult?? 😳
Sorry 😂😂
it's so fun coming back after the 3 months when it's oficially released. it changed so much and it's amazing. they're doing amazing job at listening to the community and improving. also, a sidenote, monstadt enemies are also a breeze compared to inazuma. don't forget that genshin also had so many bugs and issues, like faceless ayato
i’m excited to see more of this and try it out when it fully releases!
Toxic comment. 😮 cannot believe
Will you co op with me 🥺
@@Doro44c of course 😚
Can i join you both😀
Ill say then when i started genshin i was in love at first sight when i saw Venti and Dvelin, it was magical , funny, wholesome but also intresting . It was simple but i got hooked right away 😌💙
From what i saw from WW story its cool , im not emtionly attached , but im interested to see more, and its a good thing . I strangly find the male charcters way more beautiful then the women , as you said theres a range here.
I hope this game will do amazing and wont consistently get compare to genshin so pepole can have their own connetion with it ! 💙
I can agree with that. Hopefully after some time people start to get invested in characters and stories because I think that’s crucial
@@Doro44c exactly 💙 falling in love with the characters is what will make people pull for them and want to know how their story proceed! 🥂
This is an aspect of Genshin that is hard to replicate, I think: it has this uncanny way of making you care about the characters. The game managed to hook me instantly with the opening scene, which established one of our biggest goals: get our sibling back. The writing may be hit or miss in some places, there may be so many things going on in the lore (that I may or may not understand), but that goal-find our sibling and reunite with them-is one of the biggest things that's keeping me playing.
In Wuthering Waves, I haven't seen this hook yet. Granted, I'm only watching streamers play the game so that's maybe why I have a sense of detachment for now. I can't wait to try the game for myself so I can fully immerse myself and see if it's truly the game for me. Other than that, the other aspects of the game look so promising! I hope they keep the combat dynamic (reasonably challenging for casuals and amped up for "hardcore" players). I like the visuals; they're very in-theme for the vibe Kuro is going for, I think. The Echo mechanic is also cool! I wonder what kinds of bosses/enemies they'll add in the future.
All in all, I'm excited for this game and I hope it does well!
16:10 yes, in PGR there a lot of skins and they even do events where fans can create skins for the devs to use in game (with a lot rewards of course). Also, there is a feature in dorm where you can collect these dorm coins to buy certain items and from there you can buy skin blueprint (a currency to buy skins). Basically speaking, there are grindable skins in game and I hope they add it here too.
Thanks, Doro! I hope you'll be doing some Wuthering Waves contents in the future.
I am happy you are enjoying this. I fully intend to play upon launch since it'll be on PS4 but because I am avoiding story content for Wuthering Waves from streams. Gameplay though? It's awesomes!!
I think the character design is amazing! Can't wait to play. In punishing gray raven you can grind skins through the "teapot" aka the dorm. There are some skins that you can only buy but they are the exception, not the rule.
grindable skins do sound good
i was also thinking unlocking character animations/actions with level ups/ challenges
First try to get that in Genshin
I really look forward to start playing! It looks great. I must say that like you I want more coulor on the characthers.
Ngl you sold me on this game, I wasn't into how muted the colours were at first glance but I really like everything you touched on.
I'll be honest, I'm pretty split with how I feel about the fact that the developer rewrote 90% of the story. On one hand, that's awesome that they took feedback and tried to fix it! On the other hand, they wrote and terrible one in the first place so do we believe they'll actually do much better this time? I play for story and lore and rewriting the majority of the story give me the feeling that those things weren't as important for them at the very start. We will see. I'll still give it a chance.
Yeah at first I was thinking if they were so easily changed then that means their concept isn’t strong. But I rather them abandon a weak concept than clinging onto it and trying to make it work.
Didnt the guy in charge of the story last time get fired? 😅
In PGR we skip story but maybe others dont we just i will do again i find the story also kinda mid.
From what I hear there’s an ex honkai impact writer on the team but yeah we shall see because story and characters are important to me to keep playing
@@jawbonediswell , the beginning of the story of pgr was too mid and too generic so most people skipped past them ... idk if you are following the current story tho , cause it feels dope to me ... also , good luck on your cw pulls ... most anticipated character of pgr drops in 3 days , i am more excited then wuwa cbt
That's banner system is amazing dude😦
I really love how positive and honest You are Doro! Keep it up! :D
i play punishing gray raven myself and i'm excited to see it the same combat system in an open world RPG. will definitely be checking it out myself
about the character designs, i think it's the muted color tones that people are complaining about. personally, i love it. it's also very prominent in PGR as well.
When I saw the trailers, I compared it to Devil May Cry more than Genshin since it seemed like DMC. I'm a huge fan of DMC and so when I saw the similarities, I got more excited.
Same because i saw some attacks that u need to pause and then continue so your combo is different but the only missing is aerial combat yes they can attack mid air but they cant stay for too long i wish they add some before release i hope they make a collab with dmc that will be sick
@@jawbonedis I jumped for excitement at the gameplay trailer showing the protag mimic Virgil's classic move. If there are more similarities, I'll be happy to nickname it "Gacha Devil May Cry."
@@Mr.helloooo if only DMC' Peak of Combat is not too P2W
If this game can play at mobile hell yeah i will try it
It will
@@TheGenshinSimpwhen will it'll be available?
@@TalesofLaksamana depends on how well CBT2 goes, could be April or it could be October :) it has to be by October tho
@@TheGenshinSimp oh... October? Too long to wait🥲
@@TalesofLaksamanaOctober is their deadline or should I say license termination if they go past October.
This vid had such a honest logical and mature commentary lol I'm glad to see someone who touches on really good points and does them understandably and kindly without judging harshly. This game does really look promising and I can see myself playing this regularly too.
Very well reviewed. Very non biased. Your very intelligent on the gaming review side of things. Would love to see other game reviews
😊😊
im an avid genshin player n i didnt get to play wuthering waves (only saw streams) but i agree with u all the way! cant wait to play it, it has diff charms from genshin tht i hope they keep doing great works til the official release :D also, they really shuld leave tht gacha system like tht cuz separate standard banner is such a genius move. as a player who only pulls character banners, hving tht separate gives me better chance to obtain 5 star weapons!
They can both exist and be successful! The gacha system seems too good to be true but I hope they keep it
@@Doro44cthe rates are allegedly being buffed same thing with pity. Apparently we are going to 60 pity for launch. The 50/50 is staying but the rates will be raised to 1.6%. This is a rumor from CN though. Given how PGR’s gatcha system works this is a sound rumor
petting cats and dogs? a win for me.
i can free up some space from my phone 😆
I am VERY excited for this game. As a seasoned PGR AND Genshin player, I love love love pgr`s combat system and general style of animations, they are a-m-a-z-i-n-g. AND the gacha system. In pgr it was great. The company was also generous where you could receive a 5* hero of your choice AND even a 6* weapon! for the anniversary. Plus the skip battle for grinding. I loved basically everything about that game. I very much hope so that Kuro carries on the good things to the WW and we all can enjoy the masterpiece it aspires to be.
Also Doro, I love that you love the game : ) somehow it feels nice to see other people enjoy smth you are excited about. Maaaaybe give PGR a chance too? There are not a lot of big creators making content about it, basically none, and idk if that`d be interesting for a lot of people but as someone who loves the game, I just want others to try it :) it would be so cool if the game gained some new bloodflow after years of being out there and not being too noticed.
Thx for the great vid, as always!
to answer your question, YES. Kuro loves coating. in PGR we have a 6 stars (with effects) *grindable* skins and 5 stars free skin you can get by logging in or by doing passive dorm thingy. Kuro also sells 6 stars skin every patch, of various characters. And you can buy them all in the shop.
Hopefully they "team-up" with the community. Developing a community and giving them flexibility, transparency and a part to play has proven to be on of the best strategies.
For me personally, its not a genshin killer but a competitor That will actually force genshin team to improve, cuz lets be honest, Kuro has been taking player feedback seriously but I do hope they do at least to some extent that theyre doing something but sometimes making initiative on their part. Like HSR has some QoL that we didn't need but they did made it.
And Also, base on the husbando designs are REALLY cool, they have varying designs, statures and facial hair, some male characters have facial hair! I do hope Genshin design team, should do more bold steps with their designs, and hopefully they do balance out the gender ratio and distribution of certain roles from DPS, sub dps and supports .cuz if they want to have good motion they need to at least cater to both genders, not just men.
Can't wait to play it when its released, and hopefully this will be a sign for hoyoverse needs to be attentive, they're not gonna mopolize it any longer.
fr im kinda bored of seeing cute anime girls
Not really
Yes. I'm hoping WuWa will give them more competition.
been having a blast with it, i can see myself bouncing between this and genshin especially when the games hit those points where theres nothing to do
I’m a genshin player but I’m damn excited to play this!! I’ll be playing both games
Sameee
Very very very unique game. LOVE IT SO MUCH. You can pet pets. Dancing turtle. Very jam packed combat. Very unique traversal mechanics. Love it. Also...
While playing this game, I hope players from darker side of Genshin community don't attack WW with reasons that they can't explain. It's a game, not a other game company hacker/killer. Some players want to play, some players may not. Genshin is nice game. WW can be nice too. A game should be casual & fun thing. It's sad if any game community attacks WW for simple existing.
unfortunately they already attacked wuwa fb group that the official admins had to pause the group (also their accusations and provokes are really mean) ☹️
now we are just trying to calm them down and maybe they can at least enjoy the game ☹️
@@YaMizui might check it and which is group?
I can't wait to play this Game as soon as possible 😭😭
I think people are gonna love it
@@Doro44c As a Genshin player who loves Open world I see this as a Double Bonus as I would now have two open world games to play which means Double the Fun😆, hoping others to enjoy it too😁
LEZZGOOO! It makes me soo happy that Doro is playing this game too OMG
great overview! i'll probably try it. it looks more promising then some of the other recent open world gacha games
Is there a official update about the game release?
Still in beta (CBT 2)
it will probably release before october this year or their license is gonna end
@@tabletennisstars1227wdym their license will end
So basically genshin but they care about the playerbase.
Absolutely excited for it. I am very sad I didn't get into the beta, but have been watching my fair share of streams and videos. As a Genshin player craving for something similar, but yet different, this is down my alley and I can't wait to experience it first hand. I'm almost a little bit too hyped, tbh, this early into the game cycle. Still, putting my hopes up.
The fact that kuro games are implementing the suggestions we give to mihoyo during surveys 😢
i wish they would add some game mechanics to make it easier to enjoy for more casual players too, like sure Im fine with me not having the most meta relics and strongest echos as long as I dont have to sweat on a boss for 2 hours just o beat it once. Like yes it should be there for the players that want the challange but I hope they dont keep it a requirement for progression
You can just do the basic level of the boss for echos anyway
i will wait for rule 34 army 😂
My best advice is try if for yourself and then decide like the pokemon part is a plus for me but saw many who dislike the idea(too grindy etc). There's a collective type of gameplays that will be a deciding factor If you'll stay or not.
I'm so excited for this! I already Pre-Registered for this. Im just AA
As a genshin player im excited that hoyo will finally have a proper competitor .. competition is healthy for consumers..
Maybe genshin will change some of their more punishing systems to be similar to ww, like the weapon banner or lower pity..
WuWa will not be a competitor for Genshin 'cause they target completely opposite audiences.
*As a PGR fan I'm so happy that genshing fans love the game* 😭😭😭
And there where no genshit toxic in the live, just real fan commenting peacefully during the live, so happy. You real gemshing fans please speak more often l. Show the world that genshin is not full of toxic players. ❤
We PGR fans welcome you all ❤❤❤❤
I'm actually very excited for WW!!! Can't wait to experience the game!
I would like to add something on how the combat in WW works. So, the meter above the characters hp is their "core passive" which further adds some depth to the characters skillsets and the way you play them. MC for example can store two stacks of achieved thru I believe basic attacks and using E enhances her E and consumes one stack. Sanhua has like a quick time event wherein you have to hold the attack button and release in the highlighted part of the meter to trigger a stronger attack. Danjin can chain her normal attacks in conjunction with her E like NA, NA, NA, E or NA, NA, NA, E, E, E. I believe there is a tutorial for characters which I highly recommend players try.
Praying that Wuthering Wave treats their players better than Genshin because I need some love from the devs. 😅😢
It is inevitable that money corrupts a company's values. Mihoyo back then were more attentive to listening to the players than the company we have now.
i mean in the end companys need to make money its all up to them if they are going to be generous or not.
@@chirpchirpy123no thats just genshin. Honkai Impact and Hsr actually listen to their players and implement changes
@@ploofii so where are relic changes?? Why cant i farm planar ornaments outside of SU? HSR listen you said. Don't be stupid, they are not your friends.
Seeing Mr positive making this face in thumbnail is concerinng 😅
Sure buddy
have fun playing wuthering waves seeing forward for more videos
One of the fundamental why it's easy at 12:59 is because of how Crownless was introduced, at CBT1 he was introduced as a dangerous and threatening entity that pretty much solo'd every one at that moment, and defeating him was rewarding afterwards, because you felt that you've won and defeated him despite the situation.
People complaining about character design being boring while genshin has 0 variety or design 😂 genshin does like 2 character models and literally every character has a scarf or cape equivalent in the back 😆
BTW good news for PS4 And 5 players the game is coming but there is no release + the game is 100% free to play ( that what google says anyway )
Let's goo genshin hoyo Devs gonna melt hard
That's exactly what I wanted to know man. I saw they would release it on the ps too, and most definitely free. Just wanted to make sure. Can't waittt
I'm really worried of the ps4 part (yes I own a ps4). Since hoyo failed in their promise of genshin on switch and star rail on ps4. I really hope Kuro games will implement ww on ps4.
@@josesoltyyea me too!
@josesolty I use ps4 too dw and I'm upset for star rail not being available on it. I'm still hoping for it. But now I have higher hopes for wuthering waves on the ps
It's okay to get compared. Because its where you'll get chance to proof yourself the best. To create competition, you have face comparison
Yo im excited for this dude
If only Doro see genshin like he see other games
lol
he is mr. positive just for genshin, he just can't say bad thing about genshin
Unfortunately not all people like Genshin fandom don’t have the brain to process that 😂🤣
Not gonna lie/hate, after playing CBT 2, I can say that WW is 80% a similiar with Genshin..if you are already familiar with Genshin, then you can immediately understand the system/features in WW. The only thing that is different is the combat. GI and WW have their own combat characteristics
Echoes or unique echo skills don't exist in genshin lol.
" The only thing that is different" 😂
Weapon banner isn't guaranteed in genshin lol. There is no limitless relic grinding in genshin lol.
90% copy 🤦🏻
@@Voiddrifter725that's combat
it is a open world gacha game just like genshin after all, u cant expect them to be so different
You know, i think the character designs and the world are supposed to be a bit subtle and understated. It's part of the aesthetic of the game. Also, the female mc's design is pretty interesting, so not sure what you want to add. Though I do love black and gray.
I haven’t even played this and I’m already love it!
this game need more COLOR
Nah
First is this on mobile?
Yes, cross platform.
Yess it will be on mobile on its release
Thank you both for the info been searching and only got halfass results
can we play this game offline?
@@durant8006 well its probably going to be online since it has coop and stuff haha
I’m looking forward to play it, I hope they keep the things we like, it has a huge potential so far
I thank you so much for that video you made about WuWa, i was hoping you would also play this game and that you would be also damn excited for like i am and many other player they already play Genshin :D And my personal opinion about WuWa is exacty the same :D So thank you again :D
best positive point...NO PAIMON ....(thank god )
The only game that can kill Genshin is Genshin.
Me looking at the last livestream: Yep. And they're doing a fantastic job.
Can't wait play this
Your takes are valid. People like you who voice out their opinions and point out the pros and cons about the current version the game will be vital of the final product. Trusting the devs will listen to the issues and will fix it upon release 👏
The gacha is NOT awesome, it is just as predatory as Genshins and is far worse than other Kuro games titles. We need to condemn this gacha system, not praise it 🤦
Wish gatcha wasn’t a thing. While I enjoy playing games for free they are inherently predatory and ,despite how it appears, they aren’t ever generous. It’s a model chosen because the company is greedy and sees players as nothing more then wallets to empty. I get so tired of people saying any of these games are generous.
Allegedly it’s being changed and is just placeholder
@@shadeofthenight8988 then how do they make money, cant make new content if you make no profit. Live service? predatory. Flat price up front? Who pays for new content after everyone bought the base? Paid cosmetics ? You get players asking why its not free to unlock or you have player who can do without it and not buy it. Paid DLC? You get people saying why is there so much DLC on top of base once the game is around 3.0. Which again leads to no new content. If the game isnt making money its going to die. Nothing is truly free. Everything comes at a price
For me, this game, like others like it, has a huge minus. These are animations. The developers want to cram as many attack animations, interactions, etc. into the game as possible. But for example, in Genshin you can literally parse the animations frame by frame. You see where the blows are coming from, you see and feel the blows themselves, you understand which part of the character caused the damage. And in WW the blows simply... Exist. The character moves, and the enemy receives damage from something unknown (he receives damage from some kind of living multi-colored urine, I can’t say otherwise), it is unclear what the blow came from. That's the problem with games like this, Panishing Gray Raven, Wusering Waves, Tavern of Fantasy, etc.
u know its a fast paced combat and still in cbt they can still be improve they listen to player feedbacks ToF is just trash😂.
this time to story in HSR broke the ceiling for me Legend stuff
A studio that listen. That’s promising
As a Genshin girl that also plays SR….unless WW shows itself to be great, I don’t see myself playing. So far it looks underwhelming.
kind of underwhelming really.
what do you mean underwhelming? it is a game in cbt
@@tabletennisstars1227 its only an impression. dont worry. I just felt that this was not how I imagined the game would be. maybe my expectations were high
100% with you there, I went in extremely excited and came out with pretty much all of my hype killed lol. People were glazing it up to be the perfect game that would be mind blowing from the get go and I just didn't get that experience idk. Happy to be proven wrong on the official release
@@HellBent_ me as well..hoping for more tweaks and improvements. this game has that potential.
i think it's time to leave genshin impact
No one stopping you 🤦
Yes I know 🤗
fr
Time for u . Rest of us are staying here😊😊
Fr finally something new to play playing with the same fucking character in genshin has make me sick of it
I'm so hype this game i already pre registered im so so excited
Thank you Doro for covering your experience! My experience so far with CBT2 is great. I am still being highly critical during feedback of course cause I really want this game to succeed. As a PGR player, I know what Kuro Games' capable of and it's just going to keep getting better from here on out. #KeepCookingKuro
While genshin is definitely better I would still like to try it before saying if it’s good although the husbandos are lacking a lot so idk I’ll see
It seems ridiculous to me that people say Genshin's kombat mechanics are bad. Wuthering Waves is just like an open world fighting game. There is no element reaction, we do not even need to use 2 of the 3 characters in our team. The other 2 characters are just spare health bars. Each character has its own combo mechanic, and this is actually a nice thing, but it's the only thing that adds difficulty to the game. The pery system in the game is not actually something that makes the game's combat difficult, the enemies already show us when we should pery them. The artifact system in Wuthering Wawe is actually nice. It's a great thing to catch the creatures in the game and strengthen ourselves with them, but turning into those creatures is a little weird. In my opinion, the game is actually easier than Genshin, but I think people's hatred for Genshin blinds them. Still, the game is good on its own. I think it's nice to finally have an Open world story based fighting game.
@@aquadactyl136 yeah that’s also another problem while characters in genshin have synergy like Childe and Xiangling for vaporize over in withering waves it’s like you said just an extra health bar
No, Genshin is definitely worse. You need more experience in this genre and criteria.
@@aquadactyl136When you are an unskilled child with no criteria, these comments happen. Of course Wuthering Waves has better combat than Genshin. Genshin is for children, it's easy. Play PGR and learn what a real combat system is.
@@aquadactyl136 "ww easier than genshin" lol, press e and q enemy dies
Some seriously hot takes in here bro, especially when it comes to character design. You are flat out wrong and try compare this game from Genshin 1.0 not current Genshin. Need to get that Genshin hat off bro because it makes you look bad. I love Genshin as well, but I can honestly say they are already done things exponentially better in comparison to initial patch.
Just for me I prefer the way the characters design color blends. It's not too flashy and it fits the overall theme of the world in game.
You forgot the peak music. Vanguard and Kuro Games really cook when it comes to it
As for the coatings and story, I think you should definitely take a look at them in PGR. The story gets better at Chapter 8 onwards and really peaked at Chapter 17. And the coating really your characters look really different than base skin
It's gona be the genshin killer
hell nah
Nah, the only Genshin killer is Genshin itself.
Will definitely give it a try. Seems like they did many things well. I personally kinda like the character designs of kuro games too.
this looks soooo good! especially echoes??? hello?? honestly i'm so excited for it to come out!
9:05 my new No.1 game! I had this on my list since their very first post never got in on a CBT 😭
