Man, the fact that Spectre could've quite literally solo carried him through the entirety of chapter zero by herself and he barley even used her made me die ☠️
I played FGO and Genshin, then I tried Arknights and I originally thought it was the first one I'd drop, but over time it slowly grew to become my favorite game. The music, the visuals, the gameplay, the lore... every time they release a new event or a new song, I just can't get enough of it.
Maybe the strongest selling point for me, I have got almost all the 6stars. They make it so easy to get all the characters. Maybe a whale might see that as boring. But as a light spender who can save up gold cetrs, buy 6star recruitment ticket, and after I lose my 50th pull my rates go up. This is a god send.
Agreed. Started with FGO, tried some other gacha games here and there, but Arknights is the one that fully holds my interest. If I had to drop FGO or Arknights, it’d be FGO in a heartbeat despite the fact I’ve invested way more into it.
@@vice2792ocl Yes, being a low spender/f2p in FGO is hell. You save for an entire year skipping all banners just to get what you want and still may not get it. Also, IMO some events are too silly and lighthearted, devaluing the IP as a whole (I come from the original VN days)
@@vice2792ocl Except Arknights gacha is horrific. The split banners and limited reruns with minuscule percentages are awful when combined with the paltry amount of free orundum given out. As far as gameplay, Arknights is *far* superior to FGO. FGO is very brain-dead in comparison, though Arknights is not without its faults. Specifically, many later levels are designed entirely around certain OP limited units, which is not good design philosophy. Overall though, that's certainly possible to overcome, but it's not as forgiving as FGO where there are far fewer "required" units. FGO takes the story category by a landslide. Not really much to say there as its story is the main selling point and why the majority of people play it. Well, that and brand/character recognition.
@@ahoyforsenchou7288 What gacha's are you playing that make arknights seem horrible? Two f2p players I know who've played over 2 years have over 75% of 6* just from daily play, and I've heard similar from many other longtime players. Split banner can be a scam but past the guaranteed 5*, but most people consider it to be similar to rolling on fgo story banner in terms of being bad value compared to the solo rate-ups new characters get. I'm not sure where you got the idea that content is designed around lims. As someone who's played since launch, I'd say Nightingale in JT8-3/H7-4 and Horn in CC9 are the only times a stage has ever been exponentially harder without a specific unit. Lims like Skalter and Chalter are strong units, but them, or any other 6*, trivializing certain maps doesn't mean maps are designed around them. It's like how some maps happen to have an Ifrit tile and others don't. Max risk CC is basically the only time something is a must own, but in that case there's no reward and it requires pot whaling on perms anyway. Lim banners can suck if you get unlucky, but the chance of getting the units before spark is exponentially higher than many other gacha games with the soft pity system.
Grand Editor's latest and greatest work. This one was from a stream where my viewers wanted me to check out Arknights. We are aiming to have him edit one of these funny compilations every month so hopefully you guys enjoy them 🙏
add me bro, also welcome to the club where the doktah's like to crush noodle, snort the spice like its cocaine and drink boiling water in the kettle like a champ. The good thing about arknights is that EVERY operator has a value and usefull, for example as a f2p i can Almost clear the whole game without ssr but showcasing your 6 star ops arent really mean you gonna have an easy time because there's a lot of stages where the game requires you to make a strategy to clear that stage.. OR you can brute force that stage Using Thorns, Chalter, NTR knight, Ling, Silverdaddy or Using the ice cream Goddess her self Surtr. The gacha meanwhile is good as the pity of 60 to have a guaranteed 6 star op, well i guess on oct 19 with the release of chapter 10 and its newest defender Horn(y) and after that we gonna get the Anniversary With the release of Lady of the Sea nun Specter the unchained and Jack Irene. The story and lore meanwhile is well.. you can experience it first hand. Just Fcking hate that Guy Who Has A name of Mephisto. Good luck my new fellow doctor!
@@fqck1999 I'm probably not gonna fully pick up the game or anything, at least no plans right now. My life is pretty full of gacha as is unfortunately. This video just shows how my first experience with the game was.
@@manwithabasicprofilepic Can't wait to see him react to the DP cost of higher rarity AoE caster, especially when he learns that he can retreat and redeploy lmao.
Another top-class video from Grand Editor Kaizer. The Arknights stream itself was funny, but Kaizer's editing simply escalates the humour into a whole new level! =)
To my defense, the recommended level for the stage was 1 and people then told me that those are bs. After I put some levels to my units it was a piece of cake.
Seeing your struggles on the tutorial maps really takes me back to my time as a Day One Dokutah lol. Glad to know your experience was positive overall!
The sheer pain at seeing that gitano facing forward with the defense line behind her is huge man... huge. Also Gran editor Kaizer knows his Arknights that gigachad image on Enciodas Silverash
As a two year old player it's quite funny seeing peeps experience Arknights when they are not familiar with it, it brings me back to when I first started.
As a person who play this since start(almost 3 years), it is one of the gacha game I have fun the most. For for those ak players that not in CN server, good luck on chapter 10 and 3rd anni banner. For CN players, may we see some content soon
the reason the texts and UI so small is because you were using a longer phone, the game was made for average phone, you could have re config the UI in the option panel
Yeah I also started playing this game as a secondary game but it ended becoming my favourite gacha game. The only problem is... the farming, but it takes the same time as in FGO, more or less.
Thankfully, there's auto deploy in Arknights to mitigate the pain. I don't have to manually manage my farming run all the time and can leave it running and do something else until the auto is done.
Arknights? That is awesome! And you also got Silverdaddy! The gameplay is much different, I thought that I would drop it pretty soon but now it is among my fav games once I have learned the basics. I would love to see more, and to see you learn all the tricks.
Arknights is probably the best gacha game if you can stand tower-defence gameplay of course. It has very good plot even outside "the gacha games standarts" and every event is a great addition to the lore and has decent or very good plotting (they even add all of them permanently after reruns). Music in this game has almost all popular genres and you can unironically make a playlist to listen outside the game. Almost every new SSR operator nowdays has their own theme (that are not in the game, Hypers literally make a video on their channel with it in addition, that is actually insane if you think about it because all of them are independent full scale songs that have no "business value". One of them was created in a fictitional language (!)). Gameplay is fun if you like genre and they always trying to do something really new. Sadly "gacha standart" also force them to add "broken units" that destroy any challenge but if you still don't have them OR you want some fun and don't use them - it's almost infinite source of fun play. The whole point is that Arknights is UNDOUBETLY created by creators and artiststs, not only businessmans and there ARE people here who really WANT to make a cool game with cool plot and world. Despite the fact that I am the fan of Type-Moon almost 12 year I can't deny that they are almost dead as creators and now it's just another "business company" those decisions controllet by pure money profit and FGO actually makes poor work if we go outside of "gacha games standarts" and they still live only on the basis of the work that was already done in the past. The game definetly has it flaws (for example insane threshold of entry) but I advise any of you who read this comment try it and play at least a month. If you read events and main plot (that's very important) there is a very high chance that you will stay here for a long-long time.
Oh, the first 4 chapters are average at best. You don't call good writers before the game start to make at least some profit. Even when we talk about Arknights, that's gacha-rule.
@@kusanagi-no-tachi5303 :) If it's hard for you to read more than 20 words then this game is definitely not for you anyway. There are even more scary words in every chapter.
@@anhramainyu2027 Pfft, trust me, I play as many Choices games and Visual Novels as I breathe. But that's besides the point. Point being, if you can't explain why a game is good in a few sentences, then it's probably not. I play FGO, love it to death. But you know what keeps me going? The story. The rest, gameplay, mechanics, GACHA? It puts me off. I'm not gonna lie when I say the game's shit aside from its story. And some characters that I have a clear bias towards. Arknights? The tower gameplay already puts me off, the hideous UI not to mention, and I have to think? In FGO at least I can full stack on my favorite character and doesn't have to worry too much about strategy. Story itself ain't gonna help it. And some of the characters, just by their name already puts me off. Kaltits with hardly any tits, Mr. Nothing which is a lie because he's clearly a thing, and the Bunny girl.... Yeah, no. So, again the problem is not in "oOOhH ScaWWy wOoOwDS" it's everything *asides from* it. And again, my reply ISN'T about the Arknight's story, it's about the first paragraph, third sentence in this reply.
Yooo nice to see you try out the game! I really love the strategic aspects of it and the character designs are great as well. Do you have any plans on continuing playing or doing some roll vids in the future? I think there are quite many takers for AK vids if you enjoy the game ^^
"The seeds planted into the ocean, the ocean drowns seeds. The ruthless ocean slaughters, rejects life. Life needs knight, knight come forward! Kill the ocean, kill the ocean!" The last knight from arknights
Hi Myst! Thanks for playing Arknights. Compared to your newcomer playstyle compared to us who played this game longer and playing this game more better, it was nice to see. You should check out other Arknight players who sweep those thing u struggled with so easily. Welcome to the community!
Welcome to Arknights Dr Myst! The gameplay's a lot different but I really enjoy it! I went into Arknights playing it like Plants vs Zombies, and 3 years later I play it like I'm playing Starcraft 2 against a Korean. So keep going! You haven't even touched the tip of the iceberg yet!
Lmao nice to see you playing arknights, i quit this game because of how hard it is, but later on i started to like how hard this game and now playing it alot
Played arknights for years now and the thing that kept me interested was the lore and the gatcha, i NEVER spent anything on this game and still have ALL but one limited 6 star(Chen alter), yup, you hear that right, i have every 6 star in the game, and im F2P.
Welcome to Arknights. I really hope this is played up for the sake of entertainment value, because my man, if you can't big brain the 0-X stages... You're in for a real bad time.
Yes this was just for laughs and I played the game in a pretty memey way anyway because I don't really have intention of starting more gacha games as I already play too many as is. For added context, this game was picked from a random viewer suggestion too.
Myst, just never be afraid to look for AK guides if you're having a rough time with a stage, everyone who plays this games does it, despite some saying they don't
goddamn myst, you make me spill my lunch. having lunch and watching this video, i messed up my entire keyboard with food. just can't hold my laugh, this one is very funny lol
I like how at 6:02 that I said you probably need more. And then you read the comment going it's "3k not 3.8k." Just gets called stupid in midst of Mald and reading is hard.
Played arknights for a bit (stopped at schwarz's event I think) and had to stop after the amount of IRL sanity I lost just trying to farm mats for my favourite characters (not to mention the in game sanity cost). It became pretty tedious in gameplay so I just went nah. Came back to it just this year and I was like, "lets give it another go..." And my god, the units I need just to clear content, plus farming for those units, plus not having enough sanity to farm on even a regular basis was just causing me to lose it. Gameplay is still as tedious as before and now, I can't even clear a lot of the content with low rarity units even if I follow kyostinv guides. Honestly, I just went nope after a month and hadn't downloaded it again since... (Not to say its a bad game, people enjoy different types of games. This one just isn't my type)
I am going to find the person who called Franka one of the worst 5stars in the game and introduce them to Nightmare and Savage. And then break their knees.
@@MystFGO Oh, that explains it. I just wasnt expecting someone from Finland to speak english without an obvious accent, especially when most finnish youtubers decide to just speak finnish and avoid anime type games and media. The more you know. Torilla tavataan!
@@1lluusio Heh, I've trained for a very long time now to try and eliminate my accent. If you actually check some of my oldest videos, there's still a bit of an accent in those. Torille o7
The first time i play arknight, my brain flooded with the nostalgia of playing pvz on my old computer. It was such a nostalgia when we dont think about gacha, just pure gameplay.
