Why Zenless Zone Zero Could Be Your New Favorite Game 

I wanna play this game so bad!!!!

@@erenplatinum881 samee

Honestly this is even a bit too detailed already so don't worry about it. It's a great informative video you have a pretty nice style of presenting information and highlighting cool stuff

honkai star rail will release first

@@AB-jt4rs all my honkai money went into genshin

@@AB-jt4rs the game was in production at the same as genshin...

Because Hoyo doesn't care for Genshin

@@Rana-se5qi With the absolute amount of money that Genshin pumps they definetly care. Also idk Sumeru looks great

@@world9870 nah, they still need to make some content to keep the player base active. Compared to their other games, Genshin is just lacking in a lot of things. It's their money cow rn

idk man, the coop in Honkai Impact 3rd and PGR is kinda boring to me

i feel like they pulled off alot of things that topped honkai and genshin mechanics in this game, if they have one chance to make an actual good co-op, it would be now

Imagine playing this game with P5 ost

Hopefully in switch. It has very nintendo vibes to it.

@@xeacarons same was said for genshin and no word on that. Better for ps and xbox

@@luckybuddy1234 well genshin requires better hardware. switch isn't strong enough for it, its weaker then latest phone models. zzz should be easier to port as its semi open world and more like dungeon crawling.

@@xeacarons hey hey hey, there’s this little game, not sure if you’ve heard of it, it’s like, mega indie, it’s called breath of the Wild, genshin impact is essentially like a clone of that game but just not as good or creative, that game seems to run fairly well on the Nintendo switch, in case you didn’t know 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡. I swear people who talk about switch act like it was made during the dinosaur age, like are you slow💀💀💀. Astral Chain, Monster Hunter Rise, Nier Automota, XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 3 DEFINITELY IS PUSHING THE NINTENDO SWITCH HARDWARE but yet so much of the switch has been extremely well optimized for. Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core Reunion? Y’all gotta stop with trying to announce games as being some technical ground breaker like wtf 🤡💀💀😂😂😂. Genshin Impact isn’t a threat to Nintendo hardware. Whether hoyo wants to optimize the game and port it is on them. Has nothing to do with hardware. Y’all gotta stop egging on this r*tarded narrative that the switch is just impossible to work with.

@@hartfantom tell me u don't know how hardware works without telling me how hardware works 💀 i owe a fawking switch, that sh*t is fragile af, even phones nowdays are waaay better. the videos u see in yt playing genshin on switch via screen sharing ain't same as playing the actual thing and LMAO Ur whole reply is ignorantly st0pid on how consoles works its astounding

Is there any information about the release date?

No info yet on the release date!

As a person who is in no way affiliated with mihoyo all I can say is wait for the game to come out

The story on this tuning test seems to be just a few first chapters, so It's hard to say. Now if it flows naturally for you or not it might depend on how used you are to the visual novel presentation, but I feel like they did a pretty great job (comparing, It's way less confusing than Honkai's 1st chapter, and has less exposition text than Genshin thankfully). You can watch some content creator's livestreams to check the pace of the story out

@@azza_weak Interesting. i'm used to VN presentation. I would consider Genshin writing terrible because of Paimon, and Honkai gets good at the later chapter. But the problem with HYV writing is that sometimes they are too on the nose and left nothing for you to interpret. And using subtext wouldn't hurt too.

Eh, the gacha and energy system will only turn off main stream western players. Gacha vets and Asians won't mind that much since they are used to it.

As for the 3rd point, the so-call law in cn is only for minors. Adults players dont have any restriction playing games. The reason why there must be a energy system is that, this kind of system is made for light users as we all known. And light users are ALWAYS the majority in a mobile game in cn. Also, light users are more willing to spend some idle money on the games than hard-core gamers. I'm not saying the energy system is great, but I'm here just to decribe the current composition of the consumer market in cn. If consumers' willingness of spending is totally different in your region, maybe you can persuade hoyo to make a different marketing strategy.

2nd point wise, it being related or not doesn't interfere with the stakes of the story. It being tied is way too likely at this point with how the Hollows work, but that doesn't mean ZZZ needs to go as far as Honkai with exploring the multiverse stuff. Remember that "being related to honkai" really just means "there's a cool tree that sends stuff to destroy humanity", stuff can be monsters, plague, radiation you name it, it's so vague that it can be applied anyway they want. If the deeper lore or theory videos relating them bother you, you can really ignore and still enjoy the main story and it's character's interacting, they've been doing a pretty nice job on separating it with GI and ZZZ so far

​@@zheng8645 Got it, thanks for clarifying. I thought that this law in China is for everyone. But regardless, I assume the majority of the playerbase of ZZZ will be teens, so they will still go under that law. Light users - I assume you mean casual players, yeah? So you are saying that the energy system is made so the casual players will spend money to refill the energy, because they are more likely to spend money? I really don't like this way of monetization considering the game is already a gacha and people will spend money to get the characters, and the energy system by itself gives no benefits. I really never understood mobile gaming, it doesn't sound comfortable playing on a small screen when you need to see what's hapenning on screen while also pressing more than 2 buttons. Maybe it's just me but I think it's a very uncomfortable way of playing. But, from what I understand, Chinese players mostly, or a big part at least, play on mobile right? Otherwise, why would they make such a big game (good graphics, takes a lot of storage) suitable for mobile? Same with genshin, a huge game that is also suitable for mobile.

@@azza_weak Honestly, I barely know anything about honkai so I don't even know what that tree is. I'm not saying that genshin's story is bad, it's nice, I do enjoy watching lore videos, but whenever it gets compared to honkai (because of similar characters or what not) it just frustrates me, because genshin's story is already complex enough, but then they are bringing in honkai which is at least like 2 times more complex and now I gotta understand that too? Like can't genshin have it's own seperate story? Does it have to be connected to honkai no matter what? But hey maybe that's just me, and other people do enjoy this. Now with ZZZ, it looks so modern, fresh and stylish, it's a very fast paced game, the music sounds cool and upbeating, and so on, I think you get me. Now, I think it would be very out of place if the story behind all this will be some depressive philosophical stuff like in genshin or honkai, and that's why I want it's story to be seperated. Luckily for me, all the charcaters so far don't look similar to genshin's or honkai's so at least people won't be comparing them. I just want the story to be something new and original that doesn't relate to genshin or honkai. I don't have access to the beta and didn't watch much videos about it so I don't know the story yet, I want to explore the game myself when it comes out. I hope I didn't sound too annoying or negative, just said my thoughts.

@@PigeonSuWi Oh... I'm surprised you kinda miss my point... Sorry for my wording. Light users mean ppl dont have TOO much time on gaming everyday compared to those hard core players, bc they need to take college or go to work. How come these users will spend money on energy refilling... Something like welkin or bp are mostly what they are willing to spend on. What I mean "energy system is made for light users" is that, light users won't be left behind too much thanks to this system. It's bad for hard core player for sure, but hoyo seems to care more about the majority light users.

What do you mean the stigmata system isn’t predatory to get the best stigmas you need to pull

@@Nono-ed5ub well yes but actually no, honkai still provides alternative stigmatas and overall isnt nearly as frustrating as having to farm for main stats and sub stats on 5 pieces per character. Plus theres always alternative gear n equipment you can use that still gets the job done in honkai, tho in genshin there isnt much of an alternative I prefer honkais system overall to genshins, even if yes it still isnt perfect

@@crazylife4543 Makes sense but getting signature stigmatas is a complete pain and it only becomes worse because mihoyo decided to make newer characters like aponia dependant on having their full stigma set

@@crazylife4543 I wouldn't necessarily say it's better, the fact that almost 100% of characters need their signature weapons + PRI on top of requiring certain stigmatas that might or might not be farmable is as predatory imo. I prefer genshin's artifact system simply because you don't have to use premium currency, and my experience so far is that the minimum requirements for "usable" artifacts can be obtained with at least 3 weeks farming as long as your expectations aren't too high

@@ryukagefurishira4075 either fomo via signature weapons and stigmate or insane grinding, both are badly designed. 3 weeks is too much, I only grind for few days.

This game is actually better than genshin bcs it actually have legitmate combos between your skills and party

true, if you play honkai late like i am, u will understand nothing (lore)

it's the rating

this is likely to have battle leaderboards, once they have that.. and you get attached.. then addiction it is. From the hells of farming mats to min-maxing.

I mean there could be other stuff on ZZZ that we don’t know yet that so I think it’s better to wait for the whole game or some other features added But your point does make sense

People play mobile games on pc with simulators all the time, and I mean those without a pc version, I personally don’t do that and I don’t like it. But since there is a vast need for playing mobile games on pc, it’s really not hard to understand why this happens.

a PC/console version will always be demanded by the playerbase. why even wait by releasing on one platform from time to time, when you can just release it at the same time.

@@errisland5408 The main concern just comes from the lack of an actual gameplay to keep people invested. When especially releasing on a platform like PC or console which you'd tend to spend more than 15 minutes on, and most of it you're not exactly playing the actual ggame itself, just sitting in a menu. Just from the beta it's not that impressive compared to other titles. But who knows, the talks of it being a rogue lite might be what it needs to keep the game more interesting, and hopefully not need a stamina system to keep longer term players invested.

@@ThatLetterK I find this concern absurd, because it’s not something that players should be worried about, it’s the dev’s job to keep people invested, why are you worried about if people play the game or not? I just simply don’t understand….

The combat is actually very simple, if 90% of the game was combat i could see players burning out quikly. It's a smart move to keep it small.

@@hovsep56 It's hard to make a claim to its simplicity when the battles barely last the blink of an eye. When you're really just starting to get into the groove of things, the battle is already over. From that perspective, I can see why one might call it simple as it is hard to get an objective look at things since you can't used everything available to in such a short time frame. Which is the crux of the problem, since they seem to be of the mind to cash in on these characters and their growth; to make their cash cows limited use is the height of error. In fact, I received a comment asking if we could use them in the city since we're investing so much in them. Which is a valid question. The potential is there when keeping in mind the control scheme of phones along with one's experience also being dictated by their lineup and how many star-talents they've unlocked. They could also include additional effects in items or other systems as one of the reasons for this tune up is to work on the combat, or so I've read. I do like the tag-team combos and how you can force initiate or chain them through stuns, along with swap dash and dodge mechanics (and if timed correctly, you can even see all three characters attacking at once). Add to this all the effects you stack to match your characters, the buffs you already obtained and how they synergize with 5 star characters and their talents / elemental effects. It has become easy to complete these 30 seconds dungeons without ever getting hit, and the elemental system is pretty simple beyond picking Hades-styled (as a popular game to reference) buffs through a mini-game. For a tune-up test, and figuring that this game has probably at least a year to go before it is release (Honkai will likely end its story next year as well) there is a lot to build on. Though at the same time, it (the elemental system) just providing additional damage (and status effects like freezing enemies at the correct time), I feel, is the correct way to go for a mobile game of this type. Genshin Impact making fights last longer against specific mobs because you don't have an element they were weak against wasn't the correct way to go about this (that is, for example, mobs with actual shields and then magical ones). Admittedly part of this may stem from it just adding another layer of not picking our favorite characters because they aren't the right element or combination. Which further increased a dislike of pulling on characters just because of their design due to knowing they won't be played since it may slow down actual fights. One could say that it is mindless fun. Whereas just moving around on the proxy screen from box to box is tedious at best. Which is likely due to its overuse along with the limited time you actually get to fight when you fight... in addition to the poor rewards of such that kind of lead you to avoiding any fight you are able and just finish the proxy stage.

genshin players dont know what dificult mean . i loved ZZZ , genshin is so bored and annoing when u reach level 50 u dont have anything more to do than the daily comission's :/

Yes? It's a free game, they need to make money

@@destructo3457 pretty sure they know that already

Psssh. Honkai also has that. They even has stigma (equipment) gacha besides chars and weapon gacha. Its just the way hoyo or most gacha games make money

@@destructo3457 I hope you realize that gacha games go FAR beyond just making enough money to continue paying the developers to update the game.

@@flytelp Yes i do, i'm just saying that it's pretty obvious it's a bad system

Having story missions behind resin/energy is a cuck move

You should worry more about the shard system. Hate those much

Eh its way easier compared to pgr especially in higher content such as babel.

yeah. i hate having casuals cry about every single things in the Genshin lol

Its already their plan since honkai days. The want to make every genre on gacha game. They already submitted 1 more game to china licensing departement.

There are only two ways: Free to play with both gacha and mircotransaction or Pay to play with microtransations only.

“button mashing” 🤡🤡🤡

Agree.
