How Free to Play Friendly is Wuthering Waves? 

are you ok? Brax

nice!

Isn't it followers from all platforms not pre registers?

The pre-register milestone for the weapon has been met. It’s actually 5 million. Kuro just mistyped it as 50 million lol.

​@@indomitable2566 kuroh giving us panic atk through their typos lmao

which is why WuWa has two Ws

Couldn't have said it better, I just hope there's no problem down the road, there shouldn't be any since they say the portion of the playerbase that wants something like WuWa isn't relevant to them. Altho 16M registrations are looking awfully close to 25% of their playerbase I'm sure they'll keep their word and be happy that others found a game that suits them better.

ignoring all aspects related to action/combat/challenge and pretending it's not important even though they've been using the ACTION rpg genre since the game was released, is a good thing?

​@@rufus1637 Of course, you don't remember how good Genshin was when it was still a game?

​@@rufus1637better action than Genshin for sure.

That has been true for many many years... unfortunately, the game devs and publishers seem unable to understand it. They dont have to have gimmicks and predatory cash shops; just make a good game and people will happily throw money at them!

Genshin exists And it's stingy asf

Nah man, the more attractive the characters are the more people are willing to spend money on them. The point of gacha games is to collect your favorites

@@ZZzz...69 I don't mean to take GI side on this one but there are worse one.

@@sakaguchiseiichi1530Genshin is baby first Gacha game pls undarstando. Imagine they play fgo they would off themself lol

It's actually very expected because their license runs out in October so they are obligated to release until then

@@freshii3716 What license do you mean? I'm not that well informed of this...

@@wafflext Their publishing license expires in October, if they don't release it by then they'll get fined so we already knew it was coming out this year.

@@wafflext to add additional info it's essentially a Chinese thing. ZZZ is also gonna come out this year because of that license

Ayee Bro I see you everywhere

This has been my opinion on what I’ve seen. It looks like an outright better Genshin. Better hardware capabilities now compared to then so it looks better, and they definitely saw what Genshin did and thought of ways to improve upon it.

I mean... Genshin open world and HI3 combat was the dream.

This will be my 1st game I ever played thats this fast action based and more relying on parry, dodging, etc to win fights. I've been watching and waiting for this game since day 1 and am super excited to play it and for the 1st time ever, I'll be playing a female MC. (I've mostly played games with male chars as they have cooler outfits more than half the time)

​@@galaxyrunawayOnly thing ww won't be able to beat (and will forever) is Genshin's music

​@@galaxyrunawayexcept it's music isn't as impactful nor memorable as Genshin's. For a sound-themed game, WuWa doesn't seem to stand out in its OSTs and background music. I can hardly tell the difference between different boss battle themes since all it ends up sounding like is an underground dance party's EDM. Genshin Impact's music is the top of the game among gachas. Care for a listen to one of the banger OSTs of a character theme? One that has been so memorable now is "Die Midtsommernacht Fantasie," Fischl's alterer-ego fight OST. The musical element is such an underrated part of the gameplay experience. It raises the intensity or the tranquility of the environment or te narrative that you are in. Yet WuWa has no distinctively memorable OSTs and there are quite some missing opportunities for sound to have a bigger play into the gameplay aside from echoes. Having audio cues would go a long way for knowing when and when not to attempt a parry, or for understanding the gameplay itself. I don't think there is a distinct sound for when resonance liberation bar is full or the concerto bar is filled either. Nor is WuWa's story that engaging. It doesn't have a hook or a clear objective to hook you in a you have in Genshin- finding your lost sibling. It also follows the boring trope of memory loss which necessitates lore info dumps and easier self inserts while Genshin's main characters actually have a story to them that we know so little about but is withheld from us, only something we can learn over time encountering comrades and enemies. So WuWa would only particularly be better within the element of combat, exploration thrill, and endgame gameplay loop. Outside of that, it has a weak hook for early engagement with the story and not very enticing OSTs that you can associate with a particular fight or place. Genshin does the musical element justice especially through using instruments from the represented region. The Port Ormos OST goes hard. So do the Sumeru battle OSTs. Apep's second stage battle OST is also a banger. Hopefully Kuro can also step up their sound game. I wish to see audio be as big if not a bigger part of the gameplay experience as the visual part.

Not only that but PGR doesn't have 50/50 on new banner. It's 60 pity and you're guaranteed.

​@@hadmos855Sadly i'll let this one pass cause they need more money for open world development. But hey, weapon hard pity guaranteed here! Have you ever lost 3 80% weapon banner in PGR? Yeah thats me

@@vince4503 u dont have to remind me of that 💀

Agree

There is probably a reason why kuro give PGR a friendlier rate, but if i were to assume is because WW doesnt have a competitive aspect in it while PGR does. WW its same genre as genshin so make that what you will Now its common strategy that gacha game are free because they bring alot of F2P players. and the one that got hooked have a higher chance to become a Whale and Whale need something to eat and that is exactly what F2P players are for

I swear to god THIS.

Get this character so you can teleport 10 meters into the air to get this collectible, or complete a 2 hour long voiceless npc dialogue.

facts

@@dokutah2480 sounds like I'm not playing that game anymore.

Here's the fkn thing. That, to me, means that they make the weapons VITAL to the characters in the future (like HSR already has) - with the justification of them being a guaranteed pull.

​@@RyzardI can't say for sure that they won't make the weapon vital for the character, but as a pgr player it's probably just the kuro generosity.

@@JR_Zart we shall wait and see! I'm not an expert by any means, I'm just acquainted with how money hungry game companies tend to be lol

Good God they are learning

Finally they are learning how to Market

They definitely took classes for marketing 😂

Well they have money for it from investors (tencent/hero) so can't make a mistake now..

Took them long enough 😂

TRUE. I love this Yuanwu guy with a fedora. Finally a real man with facial hair!

i work as a telegram/discord mod 🤡🤡🤡

I mean alot of the features that WuWa has is because of Genshin, alot of open world games were inspired by genshin, dont you think? But i'm also very excited

From genshin stfu... original is botw and genshin itself is a copy​@@pxndavic

The designs are cool but the colours on characters are so bland

​@@lostwinter5637 pretty sure its bcz of the theme of this game is post apocalypse so yeah

because it takes place in a post apocalyptic world its meant to look bland@@lostwinter5637

everyone should uninstall that game to make them regret their greediness

To be fair the DMC players will fair better

People who play souls are too proud to touch gacha anime games, tbh they are missing out,

@@Indian_gae_boii TBF if they did they'll be literally dissapointed when they realize how easy the bosses are

​@@idontspeakjapanese6289 open world = easy, casual friendly. Endgame/tactical hologram = not easy, even for souls like players it can be enjoyable.

Same. I had performance issue and Unreal Engine's D3D thingy, but the amount of compensation gift Kuro gave within one week of my entire gameplay is way beyond my comprehension. Like, way more than Genshin ever gave me throughout 2 years (I only got Kazuha as my only 5-star in my F2P session before I stopped playing the game💀)

Exactly. Genshin is either too easy in Overworld (designed for 8 year old players) or its too impossibly hard in Abyss Floor 12 (unless you are big whales).

@@doommaker4000 Yes, this guy right here officer.

Literally every game brax had sponsorship with, allowed that

@@ziodyne7774 I didn't know that, although I still appreciate kuro for not breaking that cycle, and for brax to still be honest when taking a sponsership.

Why speak on something you know nothing about

Did we watch the same video? Nothing negative have been said here while I heard from other the whole artefact monster system is terrible. Also how can he repeat multiple times that f2p character are strong in a beta version? There is no reason for them to be weak and as far as I know, end game wasnt there.

@@teeman7137 how is the monster system terrible, when it is better than Genshins or HSRs as far as i can tell?

If its mid like genshin but better delivered with good pacing, then its gonna be good

@@Y4ngCP Genshin lore is actually very good, it's the execution that could've been much better

@@MeryKeitGenshin lore is amazing, but the story is just decent, 4.2 was really good tho. But either way if u want amazing story go play HSR, the story rn is absolute peak

​@@Y4ngCP imagine saying genshin lore is mid 💀 say what you want about the game, but genshin lore is one of the most dense and heavy lore in rpg game history, the amount of effort genshin put on the lore is really visible. You either don't pay attention to it or you're just edgy

​@@reinhartnata47 RPG history? That's a hot take, considering there are superior RPG titles such as Drakengard, Nier, Witcher series, Elder Scrolls, etc. For a gacha game, it's quite decent, I mean there's virtually no competition in gacha games when it comes to story/lore and most of them are ass.

Same lmao I was like did he just...

You didnt watch enough then.

IKR her design has always stood out to me

That actually may make it worse, the character won't really feel special if everyone is getting them.

@@ZZzz...69nope. ToF become glorified mario party with extra p2w bosses

No games can be compared. Every game has different audience.

It's compared due to it's similarities/hype/comparison to Genshin We haven't really had any large open world action gacha RPGS aside from Genshin, ToF was the closest we've had (despite being an MMO), so the comparison is to be expected

They can be compared as anime gacha games, even if WuWa isn't an MMO

now this is an opinion i like to see

Understandable. Personally, I'm cautiously optimistic, but I fear that, on the one hand, people have too high expectations of all Genshin killers and, on the other hand, as of now, it would still take Azure Permille (pun intended) to really put financial pressure on Genshin. Nevertheless, I'm happy to finally have the opportunity to have a Genshin alternative to games, and if it even convinces me, the mint picker simulator will be thrown out until there is real improvement.

Play punishing gray raven and make your decision

what killed tof the most is being mmo, p2w and multiple server honestly i couldn't even catch up to the dungeon runs because it's either nobody is doing it anymore or higher levels carry are one shotting everything ☹️

Agreed. ToF had a lot of potential due to superior exploration methods (mount, vehicle, relics, etc) along with combat mechanics (multiplayer version of pgr/honkai styled combat in an actual open world) and better customisation (costume, accesories etc) than what Genshin does I'd argue even on exploration side, finishing certain parts of area in ToF is somewhat more rewarding and satisfying, but its an subjective takes so bear no mind. The underwater part of ToF is so huge and deep it even stretches into the deepest layer of the trench (with lava and stuff), a sight so cool to behold. I guess I still like Genshin's desert more than ToF but, its still fun to explore. Certainly I like exploring Domain 9 more than other ToF's area though. Its pretty, rewarding, and fun to explore with all those relics and statue etc. Sadly they flops it real hard when it comes to the actual gameplay due to one of the worst powercreeping I've seen in gacha genre and their server latency (Harrah incident flashback). Paywalling the Bygone Phantasm is also one of the few reasons I stopped doing it every week and played very casually before eventually stopped. As lore and story enjoyer though, I do agree Genshin is way way way superior than ToF. Also ToF VA's and storytelling pales in comparison, although they kinda pick it up after Domain 9 patch, its still not enough. No disrespect to the VA's there but, I can't feel the emotions. Its just like they narrate the dialogues for me. Its sad because some of them were actually voicing in Genshin and other titles, and do decently well there. So idk how the sound directors decision to make them sounds like that. Also, I'd prefer events in ToF than Genshin most of the time because the gameplay is actually more fun imo, if you exclude those world boss event or anything related (And Halloween event or something I forgot). I kinda happy HSR got some of the fun events that I wanted from Genshin so it kinda alleviates my craving from ToF events. It kinda makes my decision to quit ToF faster as well.

No please, hope WuWa would give us a reasonable Rewards just like Honkai Star Rail. that way it might live up longer that genshin could do. And if it isn't then i can believe that this game will die sooner

The same thing they did in PGR. Consistent powercreeps.

​@@maxyuen9175Consistence as in once every two years lmaoo

​@@maxyuen9175Less consistent than Honkai

@@maxyuen9175 Source? And even with pgr, each role takes a year at least to be power crept, so you don't know what you're talking about.

@@shadowboi8620 Take a look at what you just said.

Max0r IS the peak of shit posting rn

lmao same

Genshin ads are getting more aggressive these few days, and I'm sure it's because ww is releasing lol

On release too

So.... basically how genshin is? New artifacts with set effects tailored to a new chara, weapons with stats and passives exclusive to the new characters

@dokutah2480 I forgot, sorry yall. No, it's better because, stats in said artifacts are fixed so you don't have to get a bajillion to get perfect stats. Now, the thing that they did to get you to invest in these was the ability to "fuse" them; by doing so you'll get bonuses that will help make your characters stronger but, of course, they are random. Still, the farming is way more bearable since you can just skip the event stages where you get the currency to buy the artifacts.

Yep

This is the solution to the toxic problem between two communities

And just like that, tribalism has ended

My device could never

OMG I AM BLOOMING😩

IKR I used to think they are the same person at first XD

Exactly along my thoughts. Seeing how they handle units in PGR, I'm actually a bit worried about powercreep. I hope newer characters don't necessarily replace old ones. Granted powercreep is inevitable in gachas. But I hope they push it, at least to a tolerable extent.

Powercreep and character design are the two things that make money for gacha companies....cuz if you had a great unit since the start, you don't even bother to pull for another character.... that's why gacha companies use drip marketing and powercreep type shits

​@@justsomeguywithgreenhair in pgr Rosetta have been meta for 3 years until recently

@Penguin-nx5nc That's because there weren't any other options besides her. What about Nanamech? Sniper Bianca? Physical Alpha? Plume? Bride Liv? And most other units? Newer units replacing older units are a common occurrence in PGR. As soon as a newer option is available, the older units are considered 'weak'. Though I applaud them for pushing leap skills for older units, that doesn't really change the scenario. I might be exaggerating a bit, but that's the problem I have with PGR besides character exclusive weapons and memory sets. I love playing with Balter. But who knows when they'll introduce a new gen 3 physical attacker and suddenly Balter isn't able to clear the top contents anymore.

@@justsomeguywithgreenhair too bad I guess
