First Time Playing Zenless Zone Zero! I LOVE THIS VIBE!

[@hjlm1886]

Ain't no way, didn't expect you to play this game. I hope you have lots of fun, this was really out of nowhere

[@magemasher22]

Yeah i definitely wanted to at least check it out!

[@c.a.mcdivitt9722]

First off, yay for more Mage content right when I had insomnia causing trouble again! 90s? That's the late 80s. Also, yes, a flashbang is still an explosive- people have lost hands to them.

[@c.a.mcdivitt9722]

@HandOn145 My part of the country was pretty far behind (I watched the news on a black-and-white TV). But that weirdly- art-deco vibe was late 80s. Early 90s VHS players and TVs were smooth black plastic.

[@Max-rh8kb]

It’s the 2000 for me too lol, I’m a 90s kids so this game art style and music is right ups my alley. And the combat is scrip and smooth as well

[@SdarkDeathGod]

Yet another rabbit hole for Mage to fall into. Well, at least it's a Hoyoverse game, so technically, you're not cheating with Acheron or your other Waifus.

[@MeryKeit]

33:50 - omg we 90s babies do think alike - I say this every time I hear this phrase 😂

[@magemasher22]

Heck yeah!! 😅

[@baohoang4966]

The mini-game where you traverse through a bunch of TVs setting up like routes is a smart way to save up data that should've been used for map design!! Instead of running around which will require a lot of action, a lot of resorces (to downloading maps) and time consuming => make your device become more unstable after playing since it's running too much things, you have a funny and kinda challenging mini-game to play with the POV of how the Proxies (the siblings) sees the Agents (Anby and Billy) travelling inside the Hollow!!

[@penguingogglez]

This game looks so fun! Would be fun to see some more too. Hope you're doing well \o/

[@magemasher22]

Bloody hell thank you so much for this!!!! Seriously, that’s so kind of you 🙏🙏

[@penguingogglez]

@@magemasher22 all g, always here for you! Looking forward to everything you do

[@doomsdayng]

Definitely interested in more of this! The story and characters have really been surprising me with how great they are, and my expectations were already high.

[@ghostlyexe]

This comment is so late but I loved watching this video! Some answers for the questions you had (spoiler free of course): Billy and Anby are not part of the Red Fang Gang, they were just stealing the strongbox for their client back from the gang. This isn’t explained in the game itself but a trailer, Billy is actually an android made from lost tech from before the old Eridu fell to the Hollows. He doesn’t seem to remember anything from the old Eridu though. He also isn’t the only android made from this lost technology. The reasons all the tech seems very 90s is that the Ether corrupts most modern technology, so everyone uses analog type tech instead. I know you’ve been pretty focused on Star Rail and pumping out those videos, which is how I found your channel but I really hope you continue this game on this channel soon! Since it’s a new game there definitely isn’t anywhere close to the same amount of catching up you would have to do like with HSR. I also promise that the combat and story pick up the pace after the start of the game! Anyways, love your videos, can’t wait to see more ☺️

[@magemasher22]

Thanks so much! Yeah I’ve no idea when I’ll get back to this, I’m behind on so many videos I want to do, but I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment 🙏🙏

[@MeryKeit]

WHAT WAIT FOR REALL?? I’m so excited to play the game myself, didn’t expect you to be SO quick with it! Lest gooo❤❤

[@BlascoClips]

Just finished playing like 4 hours of this game and now to see a one hour gameplay, lol. Nice to see you playing it too

[@Zorrotss99]

Absolutely love this game very entertaining would love it if you made it a playthrough one day

[@hannahollis6752]

2:54 Right there with you, Mage. Definitely going to have to take some time to check this one out.

[@maxgs5759]

JIGGLE PHYSICS: THE GAME I'm really looking forward to this new series man, enjoy the game!

[@Mieru13]

Definitely absolutely want to see more of this. I love seeing you enjoy the vibe of the game and also seeing you take your time with it! Stream game sounds like a great idea!

[@ubermenschen01]

As soon as I saw "Phaethon", I thought "This is going to be some kind of mythological reference", and it was! Phaethon comes from Greek myth, son of Helios & Clymene who tries to replace his dad at driving the sun chariot; fucks up so bad Zeus kills him, and his body falls into the mythical river Eridanus/Eridanos (city is called "New Eridu" hmm).

[@eruantien9932]

Further; Von Lycaon (the butler wolfman) is named after King Lycaon, who was turned into a wolf by Zeus for the crime of murdering and serving his own son as food to the gods. Also, the biker gang are the Sons of Calydon; Calydon is both an Ancient Greek city, famous for the Caledonian Boar, and the son of Curetes, for whom the city was named - the Sons of Calydon have boar theming. As an aside, I assumed that Eridu and, by extension, New Eridu were named after the Mesopotamian city of Eridu (in modern day Iraq), city of Enki & Damkina, which is traditionally considered the first city of Lower Mesopotamia to have been built. (The Eridu site was inhabited from 5500 to 600 BC).

[@lucasmorandini7566]

Lmao didnt expect you to try it this fast. Super charming honestly.

[@lihnoikari]

I did'nt expect Mage to play ZZZ but is a very welcome suprise!

[@Axyierl]

It's fun to watch you play, hope there will be more videos of it

[@DogPersona]

Was not expecting this, W Mage

[@SwiftGuyver.]

Mage looking through the character select screen had me dying! 🤣

[@y3sderp582]

Really like your content and now you're also trying zzz (zenless zone zero), it's definitely a good day. Keep up the good work Mage and hope you feel better soon

[@magemasher22]

Aw thank you!!!

[@FlashStatic]

I've just started myself and am having an AMAZING time. Happy to see you playing as well mage.

[@IngridKen]

woad didn't expect this but a welcome one, i love this game too, i used to watch on this channel for dragon quest builders lmao

[@hyuugou]

I'd love to see you play this. Please consider uploading or streaming more of this 🙏

[@stee4592]

Happy 4th of July from Socal.

[@JemBubu]

Wasn't expecting you to play this game aswell.Hope you enjoy the game(haven't watched the vid fully yet) Hope you keep playing ZZZ cuz atleast I can atleast watch how the story goes through you playing it(My phone isn't compatible so I can't play this game. I really want to but the specs it needs is quite demanding) Just keep enjoying the game.Hope you are feeling well btw(if you are sick. If not,well uh...have a nice day haha)

[@JemBubu]

Yea

[@xtentiong.f2537]

Would be cool to see you play more of this game, its soo damm good.

[@Hextec]

yesss, this has to be a series like HSR!

[@melibrrrrrr]

hey mage!!!! didn't expect you to play this right away but god is that exciting! i started playing this yesterday afternoon a bit after it released. excited to see how u like the game so far

[@magemasher22]

Yeah It made a good first impression. No idea how it's gonna pan out or how deep the combat gets but i just really dig the vibes so far!

[@njp2k914]

Miguel silver sounds like an adult video star. ‘Miguel Silver and the Red Gang Bang’ also love the mention of jet set radio :D I’d love to see you play that one day :D

[@laurentiuslancaster1657]

And he came back with a banger!!!

[@kraigdiovcrisostomo1506]

Ive been playing this ALL DAY The story so far looks so good, the animation is very freaking smooth and the characters are so expressive. The combat is what makes me addicted to this game. It's so fun, it has its simplicity but it also has its complexity they balanced that so well with these games combat. Like i LOVE ITT!!!

[@alexyuto6629]

Just started playing this today as well! Let's goo!

[@editihic9975]

OHHHH nice !! I can't play it, since I'am already playing Genshin and HSR, I didn't expect you to play zzz hahah, I'm so happy . Thanks for trying it ^^

[@magemasher22]

Thanks for watching me try it 😅

[@Auvlen24]

enjoy the game and have fun my guy!!!

[@GIKKI9268]

I never been this fast before

[@jhanemeismovil]

OMG YOU ARE PLAYING THIS?! LETS GOOOOO! it is so Persona coded I am so down Mage.... I have been playing for hours now *- * I hope you have a lot of fun man!

[@HaittaaksSes]

Wasn't fast enough to get on your friends list in HSR, but I hope I was fast enough now. -Gonna actually watch the video later. I need to continue actually playing this game myself :P-

[@VegetaMentality]

Lets go i knew this was coming :)

[@X1rsch]

Alright, lets see what this Honkai-like is like... some Persona 4 vibes what with the televisions and film reels That Chapter title, "Business x Strangeness x Justice", the format reminds me of Hunter x Hunter 11:48 Curious... this character appears to be changing which hand she holds her sword with mid-attack 18:36 that just looked like the Tag Trick technique from Dragon Quest Heroes 2 "Superior Ethereal" got a nice ring to it. Granted, I gotta appreciate the alliteration in "Zenless Zone Zero"

[@EliThePuzzler]

That guy in the glasses put waaay too many shots in his espresso. 😬 Excuse me... his "****ing coffee". 😂 HoyoVerse never disappoints, do they? And neither do you, Mage. 😎 Quality content, as always.

[@monkeywadaf8863]

Combat is closer to "Honkai Impact 3rd", because of the qte and combos. Genshin's combat is more elemental reaction based in open world.

[@migwi17]

MORE!!! MORE!!! MORE!!! MORE!!! MORE!!! MORE!!! MORE!!! MORE!!! MORE!!! MORE!!! MORE!!! MORE!!!

[@tomix99999]

I actually don't like playing action games, so I won't play games like this. But, the style of the game is exactly what I'm interested in, so if you play this I will definitely watch it. It's up to you what you feel like recording though. As long as you enjoy what you do man.

[@iMeg_]

if you found this game fun to play and would be will to play more, I'll be looking forward to tune in for your next zzz videos! The story is fantastic!

[@Hunterofyeets]

Yes, everyone in this game has jiggle physics. The maids take inspiration from old school monsters (Werewolves, Frankenstein, etc.) Billy is a big fan of the Starlight Knights, which is the in-game equivalent to Power Rangers/Super Sentai.

[@cry-o1436]

I just started watching this so im not sure if you noticed it in the video, but billy isnt human, hes an android lul

[@Cinnamon_Shaey]

star rail is still my baby, but like come on, how can you not try this game, the amount of style and character it has, i just have to atleast give it a try and see :D

[@lagrangewei]

main story is content that could be cover. the story is fairly interesting.

[@xavier14564]

Yay! You're playing ZZZ too.

[@sethputrelo3748]

Tried it last night... not quite sure how I feel yet, but it's somewhat promising :) Enjoy!

[@fariszt4551]

Belle team!

[@FD-wl7xq]

I love the theme they went for.Really reminds me of the old days.Tho I can see alot of modern people not liking this kinda theme Also you can look up each characters combo in settings

[@njp2k914]

Bangboo18 sounds like it should be a user on a specific website with fans in the name 🤔😂

[@verez5518]

I think the ultimate's get more extravagant for 5 star characters

[@Zach174.]

Oh good, you have a functioning brain. You have no idea how many people still need to be told that X/A/Right click progresses dialog.

[@SirOktarius]

The character design really is quite something. Jesus Christ. The main trio is amazing though.

[@Super_a113]

I DIDNT EXPECT U TO PLAY IT INSTANTLY YOO

[@tayyabo]

Next up is hi3 haha, alot of people say that zzz is the sidegrade of hi3 Also i have to say the story of hi3 is PURE PEAK! you really have to try it haha. If you do just know that the game is 7 years old so the start of the game may feel old, but it gets soooo much better.

[@giiobskevin5323]

mage is goin down the hoyoverse line... hope u enjoy the game mage.. my weekend gonna be full of mage's vid. hsr and zzz xD

[@Sevika15]

Idk if this comment is worth ruining the sixty-niiine count, but it’s great to see you posting Mage and that Gentle Ben is still getting work - though he looks like he’s Ben through it (thank you phone, not correcting that 😂)

[@magemasher22]

haaaaa!!

Dude, this is not nor honkai 3d nor HSR, but greetings You on board New Captain!! and tho go on play this awesome stylish game like a favor only for yself, if y like it, just get fun and this is a key to find new followers by the way )))) good luck man!

Already being tied up in Genshin and StarRail I'm giving ZZZ a pass, so it's cool that I get to watch you play it instead. :3

[@aerikang192]

How are you sooo quick it literally just launched???!

[@magemasher22]

I've been looking forward to trying it, saw that it was available and got it downloaded asap!

[@takahagi_miku]

Will you be continuing this?

[@magemasher22]

I’m hoping to stream sone of it soon 🤞🤞

[@HamBurgerHam.]

One of the downside of this game is that it's really casual If you're looking for dopamine rush and excitement from gameplay...this is not It is relaxing tho

[@itsssCeleste]

wow you're gonna play this? good luck. I won't be playing it since i don't think its my type of game

[@iansurya2985]

Is the honkai series is over?

Nope! I'm just not up to doing face cam atm, once I am it will return!

[@Jev_the_fluorescent_shrimp]

Have you ever played genshin tho?

[@magemasher22]

I did try it back when it came out! It didn’t grab me like honkai or this has, at least in terms of setting/characters
