Should You Play WUTHERING WAVES? | WUTHERING WAVES Review

I really hope this game does well as I'm a big fan of Punishing Gray Raven and want to see Kuro succeed, but I'm not really interested in it.

[@aure0521]

The game earned somewhere around 24.8 mil in a week (according to sensortower, so don't take this as gospel) so if that's true, that's a pretty respectable result with all the bugs, bad performance, bad story, and general drama Probably not as much as Kuro wanted, but it's not a red flag

[@tsuki3003]

​@@aure0521 then again, the story isn't bad but also isn't very good. It's pretty much comparable to genshin 1.0. Telling ppl the story is "bad" will give them an idea to not even try out the game. (tho many ppl doesn't really care about yapping stories if they just like games with awesome combat)

WW is such a weird game for me. I love the gameplay, exploration, and the echoes is such a cool idea. Everything else though I’m not even sure how to feel about and looking at how great PGR is just makes me feel so depressed about how WW turned out. I’m not hating on the game there’s parts I genuinely like a lot but it also feels like just looking at someone you know who can do great as you see them fall down stairs. Probably not the greatest metaphor I know.

​@@DisIngRaMimo the main thing that pgr offer the best is the combat. Wuwa offering same interesting combat gameplay but the lag and fps drop or overall the optimitation make it dissapointing for people expecting so much for wuwa. Althoight i really think its understandable for wuwa since kuro income from pgr itself is not even really high so there might be budget problem as well and how its their first open world game and they dont really prepare enough for 30 mil people to play at the launch which make a rough launch However kuro keep updating good qol in pgr (and the beautiful char design) so definitely keep watch for the improvement that they will do for wuwa as well

[@mn7306]

It's a great game if you're looking for a fun combat and exploration. Story is kinda bad though. Not sure about the tech issue as mine runs pretty well

Man, it has been depressing seeing CC doing the usual "THIS CHAR IS BROKEN", "DON'T RUIN YOUR ACCOUNT AND DON'T DO THESE MISTAKES", "insert drama and clickbait title", and that every social media is hating the game way too much, and are even attacking the devs regularly. A lot of players literally want to harass the devs, in game or on the social medias, for one reason or another. I was only watching Rexlent, since he's the goat for pgr, a great guy with insane skills, who just enjoys the game, without making any dramas. It is nice to see you talking about the game too. Wuwa is great in many aspects, with way more pros than cons, you can even play with your favorites, the exploration is very enjoyable, the story has just started and is interesting, the combat system is incredible and every character feels so good to play, the echo farm is not boring and not even stamina related (in a lot of other gacha, similar systems with even more rng stuff are also stamina tied, being a real pain in the ass), the characters models are insane, you can enjoy the game as a casual or a more hardcore player, it's something tied to gacha but having a 100% guaranteed pity on the weapon sig of the limited char without rolling a 50/50 first is pretty insane, etc. Myself, I have to run the game with all graphics on low or disabled, for it to be fluid, and even with that, I still find it pretty beautiful and I enjoy myself a ton. The devs are extremely present, open and generous, and I believe most of the justified issues people are complaning about will be fixed at some point (and not the unjustified ones made by people who don't know how a gacha game works and, for example, complain about the fact that they're not able to max every char they have in just one week after launch, who complain about everything with just few hours in-game, or some dumb shit like pure hatred and literally wanting a game made with passion to fail for nothing). People tend to forget what it's like to begin a new gacha game, to not having access to the endgame, to not be a veteran with bags filled with ressources because you have been playing regularly for months and through multiple events and patches, and that it's just a 1.0, comparing it to the 5.something of other is kinda unfair, and you cannot judge a gacha by the damn first week of its release. I am not even talking about the hoyo fanbase, the toxic part of it is really, really unbearable. The wave of doomposting is less present than in the first few days after the game launch, but negativity and free hatred are still lurking, and on the contrary, not enough positivity. But I like to think that it's also because people who actually enjoy the game are in fact just playing it, instead of complaining every hour on internet.

As a long time, 2-year-old PGR player as well, and just saw this video accidentally, I was happy and glad you mentioned PGR for the history with Kuro games. Their next game: Wuthering Waves. I was amazed and loved how you listed the pros and cons of the game. There were points and topics elaborated on very well that I fully agree on. Especially the small things that the game is offering at the moment. and of course... The issues as well that can be fixed and improved upon, but first impressions since launch won't be forgotten from how it left from many players' experiences even if it's a few minutes. It was quite honestly, from some if not... all from PGR's community, expected how the game would go on launch since CBT2 then.... suddenly after the CBT2 short livestream from Dong... a lot of us were surprised but very worried for the game's launch. After all, the fiasco at the same moment, Wuthering Waves had the same issues with PGR at launch. And then of course, the doomposts exacerbated from all sides of the gacha space *online*. Some PGR players did that too... but overwhelmingly the other side that hates Kuro Games were too much to fan the flames even more. Even to this day, there were so many sabotages even before WuWa's launch and after. Also ignited even more, when Wuthering Waves had another step of issues, from technical mishaps that easily infuriates other players... then with the JP Weapon banner (Jiyan's Limited Weapon). Further details from that would be, to go check out, Ryuuku Sensei. The PGR community as I know of, got so helpless and anxious that the game is over from such major issues sprouting from the crunch-rushed work of the dev team. That is still overworking their dev team to address and iron out those issues currently and for the future content. From a dev as I am one myself. Nevertheless, there are barely... or even very few High-quality AAA games that can have a launch that is very successful to run and has no issues on all would-be players devices especially when it's multiplatform (Android/IOS/PC). That is very impossible, especially when this game is created with the Unreal Engine 4 that has a bit high demand to run from any device supporting it. That is to be expected even more so with mobile devices, as all mobile smartphones have so many different specifications to be optimized and be ready to run on all different types of branded phones. Additionally, this is why Japan rarely launches High quality mobile games, because they know that this issue is inevitably going to happen. So, they still focus on the PC/console department since it has less requirements to run their game contrary to the wide variety and market of mobile gaming. Although as more high-quality games are being pumped out with a limited budget for the development of the game and it being supported by investors. Crunch culture on the other hand for a game dev team is very high on the rise with more consumers/customers having unfair high expectations-demands that the game has to be perfect on release. Regardless, it still is up to the consumer to dictate the state and lifespan of a game company from how well they earn back from the development costs. Additionally, of course, the game company also decides what to do, from what cards they are dealt with, in accordingly to their passion project's fruits. One factor I saw you stating that there were some parts of the story being weird is: The choice that Jiyan picks for Rover gives some info subtly about Rover's history very well. It is the (listening/reading from past few dialogues and some major notes that denotes) major plot point about who and what they are. 18:34 is what I'm referring from what you stated, and I think you missed the point of Jiyan, trying to make the main character do some strategy. The illusion of choice on some dialogues. It has merit why there are many different kinds of answers to choose from even if the answer for that particular question is the same. From the beginning of the story. Yes, the dialogue tidbits were the same patterns you immediately felt was an illusion of choice, but did you notice how creative they are and when it gets even more impactful the more you progress the story? The characters slightly or even change their answer depending on what choice you picked even more onwards Act 3/4. There are reference answers from their past game or even any pop anime culture references reserved for some mundane moments. All in all, you got yourself a subscriber.

[@FrostByte262]

I know the Rover is believed to be related/reincarnation/straight up the same person as the first Resonator. But it's weird everyone just accept them as the chosen one who will save the day without a single doubt. Especially since Rover hasn't shown any skill in being a strategist. Too bad they scrap the CBT 1 story, I believe in the CBT 1 they did a good job to make the story more akin to PGR and showing Rover working to gain people's trust

I would like to imagine there's some kind of parallel loop where Rover been through the prologue at least twice (or more); the prologue when we just started playing is the latest one. I was headcanoning that Rover has worked hard to earn the trust of Jinzhou people in the previous loop, and that trust was carried over until it resulted in the prologue we seen. And then later on in the story we will be shown the prologue again, except it was during the first of the loop, where the characters haven't trusted Rover yet. Rover will see how they earned the trust of the people, and maybe learn why they experienced the loop in the first place (maybe the first parallel ended in a disaster or something). Just my wish XD.

In all honesty no, not right now. Very underwhelming and bland at the moment, so I’d say wait for the first big expansion and then check it out.

[@8kman0]

The biggest selling point right now is pretty deep action combat system, with characters genuinely playing differently and having synergies between themselves and Echoes used. Correct dodges and parries rewarded a lot too. This also means that I can't really see this game being fully playable mobile - I feel like the mobile side is here only, if you are away from PC and want to spend sanity for some ezy farming, dailies, etc.. which is fair I guess. The word and various on-map activities, exploration, puzzles and minigames - there is even roguelite mode(!) - are the second thing to note. There are even hidden exploratory quests that do not appear in the questlog. Pretty solid. Story so far is serviceable but not much to talk about, english VA is bit barebones, but still much better than what you have seen in Tower of Fantasy for example, where it was realy atrocious. Overall it feels like much more polished Tower of Fantasy, while not being multiplayer - except for opportunity to band together with invited friends for some activities. We'll see how that develops

[@GodSejeong]

There are too many good things I'd praise about the game that I'd rather write the part where I think it's lacking: >Skip Cutscene option needs to have a story summary like Arknights, Blue Archive and Snowbreak. I think it should be an industry standard at this point. Summary helps keeping the players stay in touch to some extent, making sure they're not completely baffled by whatever's happening after the cutscene and potentially sparks the interest to re-read the story later. >Alternative scoring system instead of just the time-based one in Tower of Adversity (the endgame). It favors unga bunga button mashing playstyle instead of fully utilizing their dodge and parry, especially since I fear it'll basically turn into this once a shield-focused character (think Zhongli) equivalent is released. >Separate profile for Havoc and Spectro Rover (and future Rovers) like in HSR where the equipments are not shared and therefore saves you from having to switch them manually. Other than that, WuWa is a solid 9.5/10 for me. Kino combat among gachas, amazing maneuverability, lively environment and character designs that looks more "mature". The overall tone of the world also makes it a great collab potential for Endfield later.

[@lazycat836]

Glad I dodged the English fiasco because changing the dub to JP is the first thing I did when first launch the game because Im a weeb-a-cat lol xD Ill say in my opinion of what I experienced so far: - Game optimization: D+ -> B | 5.5 -> 7 (I often got some lags when I first played the game but now it is rarely the case with the hotfix, idk about mobile because I ran out of storage) - Characters: A | 8 (I dont know much about characters stories but their designs are good, Chixia is a bit lacking but she looks like she works at Wendy's I guess) - VAs: B+ | 7.5 (I didn't use EN dub and for JP it isn't too bad, there are cases where the voices arent aligned with the text and what happening on screen but hope it's fixable) - Combat: S+ | 9.5 (It's very satisfying, my only nitpick is the camera focus, they gonna fix that) - Music: B | 7 (Music is fine but it lacks any memorable melodies to make it's special. Music during the first boss fight is cool though) - Mobility: S | 9 (Pretty easy to traverse the world, but I think it makes it too easy to cheese some bosses when u can climb on stuff and shoot them on the high ground. There's apparently vehicles in the game so maybe one day we will get a tank or something) - Co-op: A+ | 8.5 (It's nice but I think devs forgot to scale the mobs according to the players number making it's too easy to clear domains. Maybe it's what it's supposed to be, idk) - Story: C | 6 (It's meh in many places, using lots of special words and chinese names dont help me remember things either, quite bland, have to skip some. The Scar's section and the final battle of the First Arc are the only notable moments for the main story. Haven't checked the side quests so idk about the rest. They also need to add the LOG function to reread old texts and maybe an archive to old story if possible) - UI: B+ | 7.5 (There's some coded texts and typos still visible ingame, some texts are too long and flow over where they should be. The icons are nice to look at and there's custom markers. Hope they add colored regions for locating plants on the map so I dont wanna have to go to a website to find that)

[@gucky4717]

I have tried several of those types of games. First of all having 2 types (equipment AND characters) of Gacha is bad. Second are the potentials. Potentials do make your character much stronger, making them mandetory for the strongest builds. Pulling 5-6 of the rarest items/characters force you to pull many many times. Third you don't really get enough free pulls (from quests) to actually get even a fraction of the equipment/characters, or even more then one duplicate for potentials... Forth getting those free pulls once you have done the majority of the quests involve daily/weekly quests. Those quests can sometimes involve quite a lot of time and can become tedios/repetitive very quickly. They actually want to you feel that way, so you buy those pulls instead. Yes the game is free 2 play...free 2 waste your time it is. It is not respecting your time actually. Or you just "invest" more money then any fullprice game to get yout times worth....

You can get enough free pulls to comfortable get every limited character and other ones. It does have potentials, but those don't make your character that much stronger, so it doesn't force you to get them. Dailies can be done quickly as well.

@@kuroha231 I watched it too. But he is not a limited Operator. I am unlucky with standard banners as well, I haven't gotten Pozemka despite pulling 300 times (in 2 targeted banners) for her. You can get him randomly at ANY time. You always can be unlucky, that is the thing in Gacha games. That said I don't think Kyo way unlucky, since he did get 6x 6* with just 127 pulls. My rate for 6* is more like every 40 pulls on average. The problem is with limited characters (especially new ones that are more powerful then any before) that create FOMO. In Arknights I never failed to get a limited Operator as long as I have 120 pulls. And I can get those 120 free pulls every time there is a limited banner. If I use less then 120, I can use the rest for other banners. In Genshin I had problems to gather enough pulls for more then 1x 5* for each limited banner. And often times it was an off-banner char.

I understand your preference about gacha games, it's not your cup of tea. I won't make an argument with you on any section except the daily quests in Wuthering Waves. You can complete all the daily quests in WuWa with no more than 10 minutes (may up to 15 minutes to spend all stored energy).

As much as that handsome general guy is tempting me to play the game, but I am currently playing too many gacha games and I don't think I can add ANOTHER big exploration game together with the likes of Genshin. As well as Honkai Star Rail, Arknights and AFK Journey I'm also hesitant to play due to the combat system and especially how complex the echo system seems. I don't know if such in-depth combat is for me, let alone if I'll ever get good at it without getting judged or told by the community to just 'get gud', that just ruins the fun in games.

[@sb18wlc]

Not sure if it's just me but I actually think the game is not as hard as people say it out to be though, I'd say it's as braindead as GI but just looks flashier... If you're mainly into the story I definitely don't think you'll get into it, plus exploration eventually starts to feel tedious as well. Character designs I actually think is better in WuWa though, it doesn't feel as templated as Genshin. I hate how much people hype it up too much, I agree that the combat feels better but claiming it's straight up better just because of that is kinda disingenious. I feel no interest at the world of the game at all and it does not evoke any feeling of familiarity when travelling through areas(A lot of the areas and environmental design especially on the coasts look too sci-fi generic similar to ToF).

[@KuraiKodoku16]

@sb18wlc With what I've heard and seen short examples of of WuWa story... yeah, not captivating to me. Especially with how heavy they info dump a bunch of new terms, that would go over my head or feel overwhelming to follow. I agree on the exploration becoming tedious at some point. In GI I'm collecting/exploring in Sumeru very slowly at my own pace, it's a way to relax and unwind for an hour.. but adding a 2nd open world exploration game.. yeah no, won't have time for that. I'll get behind eventually since I like taking things slow. This may be a me thing, but when something gets so overhyped and pushed in my face ad wise, I just feel turned off to even try it.

[@edhikurniawan]

Someone asked me if Genshin could have water more transparent like the real world. And reflections on it. Cometh WuWa, he can't play it on his phone. He got a good specs on that. Just be careful with your wishes. Graphics wise, WuWa is more better but at the same unpolished unlike Genshin. It kinda like the Snowbreak back then. I'm playing WuWa at PC, my specs are OK and i could use that DLSS function. Something that Genshin doesn't have and maybe doesn't need. Everything moves a lot more at Wuwa, everything has more detailed texture there. The art direction however is questionable, again just like Snowbreak back then. I mean, they have oversized things that shouldn't necessarily be big. To cover the lack of objects in the world itself. Genshin has a quite little object counts as well, I mean compared to AAA games it often claiming back then. But it works on Genshin, doesn't on WuWa. Since they're using different art style. You can forgive anime for having a little background objects, bar some Makoto or Ghibli creations. WuWa doesn't embrace the same cell shading world to make it looks anime. I mean the character sure is, the world isn't. You won't complain how empty Moonstadt is, but the first city of WuWa. If you count the number of NPCs, i think WuWa has a lot more, just comparing the first city. But how they arrange the NPC took the cake on that. WuWa spreads them, over a large city, when Genshin, put them close altogether. At comparatively smaller city core, but wider unhabited border. So you would see more NPCs on the same screen. I appreciate the camera lock on WuWa. It makes orbiting an enemy is less a headache, it just like you're playing Tekken. The music is not as good as Genshin. And it kinda a missed opportunity. I know mobile users usually playing without sound not to disturb people in public or just simply not to waste more battery. But still I played it on PC, with better audio system. Story i don't really care, I'm playing any game without reading the story. The skip button is my friend, but... following Genshin, WuWa skip availability is also spotty. Ping is questionable, at SEA usually I'm getting 35ms ping, for majority games are hosted from Singapore. This one, somehow has around 72ms ping on average. Also following the Genshin idea, farming on that is also tedious. Just like Iofi Hololive said, jadi kuli di game lain. Menial labor on another game. I kinda don't care about the monetization, it can come after all of that. The game need a lot of work, so much maybe it technically more economical to close that and start over as a new title. But when a GACHA game closes, it also took all the money investments from the players, and damage the company reputation. Edit : I forgot to say, i hate to see the Genshin Font. Like it is fucking everywhere at every games that tries to follow Genshin.

Feels weird not getting shot when you said "Adios"

[@FrostByte262]

I'm still figuring out what's the best way to do that in this game lol

[@keeysOST]

I tried to play this game since I love PGR, but I've come to the realization that I'm not built for Gacha games. I'm only built for PGR. I love Rpg games, but I've recently become fatigued with open aorld games. While PGR is a game I can get on quick and get out, or sometimes play it gor longer, I feel like this game isn't really built for casual playing. If i don't login everyday and take a week break y'all know I'm going to moss a bunch of things and then regret it.

[@John-el5sv]

Launch player but quit after around 2 weeks. Finished main storyline and was fighting tower. Completed everything in echo book to the highest level, and sll side quests as well. Main storyline goes slow st the front but is better towards the end of the current storyline (arc 6). Main reason why i quit is because the grinding for union level and echos is really boring, and the energy regen is too slow while consumption is too high (most are 60, which take 6 hours to regen)

[@shudere]

im still seething over the fact that they were pressured by the mainland players to make the game as genshin copy.that forced them to make a lot of changes from the more gameplay and the "self inserted harem generic manhwa" story.but kuro did their best and hopefuly they get big buck from mainland,they earned it

[@kaitodelucky7652]

Wuwa has potential that Genshin doesn't have.

[@mustafaamraan8110]

Yeah i hope it is not like Genshin, i Played genshin before until i feel really burnt out by it, like artifact, daily and more, and genshin most combat is too boring, skill ulti, change skill ulti change, that all game loop, and then u just fuking roll on artifact, i do not enjoy that, i like they have fix stat only ultilize by using set no.

[@niklassjvar1635]

As it is now, its mid with only the devs actually connecting to the community for issues and such as a plus point. That in turn can change wuwa to stand out and be amazing, only time will tell. Seeing how the game that could never develops and get better over time, theres a big chance wuwa will too, so...give it some time if it aint for you at this moment

[@ochogoa]

are you on ethernet? your ping issues could be wifi related. I've never had a ping spike beyond +50ms what I usually get.

[@jonnevitu4979]

yea revers1999 alone made me become more picky about en voice acting lol, that game is just too good at that.

[@barbarossa2166]

When I played this game, there was a female villain character who summons monsters in the main story. The first thing that came to my mind was Skalter?... Its literally Skalter right? I mean he has silver hair in two braids with a red dress, he also summons monsters with music as a conductor. And then l was like: girl you're gonna destroy terra with seaborn and now here too, give me a break Lol 😂😂

[@sb18wlc]

Yes definitely this... I definitely reminded me of Skalter especially the fact that they even come from the shores.

[@bitboss1385]

I wish they put pulao Bambi no 21 and sophie in this game

[@Kindi001]

Like legendary reaction that people have make "Pake nanya 😅" Ofc it is, tho in dub or BGM side for an exploring game kinda bland.

[@Sacrypheyes]

didn't play much PGR, but this game is more like a genshin impact plus/alter if you ask me.

[@Another_Dusk]

it's the the game for waiting Endfield release 💀

[@hyperbladezplayz2004]

To much games to grind. But I only play this game when they give out mail❤this game however is graphic intensive like genshin impact even though I don’t play the game WuWa however is overheating my phone. I have the iPhone 15 pro and it overheats crazy and I’m only union level 9 and it overheats within seconds overall the game is alright nothing special for a gacha game. Besides the tacet discords because you get to use them after you kill them

[@Phillipmurr]

This game is a rough Diamond. Not a Diamond in the rough. lol. 😂😂

everything are great,just i hope kuro stop using their knee to write the story

You sound like an AI.

[@Grisha123]

I tried it, did not interested me. But I should say that combat and echo systems are pretty interesting. But then it runs pretty terribly on mediocre and even some good PCs right now, story is not that interesting and it all comes to how Kuro will resolve these problems. I can see this game having a bright future but not many people might see it

[@NeginoSora]

"immersion"

[@Lavi____]

What's the difference between GI and WW? (as someone who has NOT played either, they look the same)

[@rah9722]

The UI is pretty similar but the world is darker and more alive,movement is amazing,combat is extremely different (and pretty good),echoes are kinda different but also in a way similar to artifacts,it has a roguelite and a boss mode where your stats don't really matter if you're not good at the game

[@Phillipmurr]

Genshin Impact. Has better Art directions. Much better story. Better voice acting . Is more polished. The reason they look the same as because weathering waves. Took about 90% of Genshins design choices. But if you like action combat, go with weathering waves , if you prefer more stylised combat and a good story maybe check out Genshin impact . Weathering waves has a little cleaning up to do but probably will become a great game in about six months . Genshin impact is well established And runs like a well oiled machine updating consistently every six weeks Weathering waves are scrambling a little bit at the moment but once they find their feet, I’m sure they’ll provide much more endgame content. Basically, it comes down to do you want a more chilled experience or hard-core?

[@inthenameofcontractlendmem983]

For gameplay, character design, cutscenes and Gacha collecting, chose Wuthering Waves. Basically if you're a hardcore gamer who likes to have fun, you should chose this game over Genshin. For story, lore or worldbuilding and character writing, chose Genshin. Basically, if you're an anime fan who's willing to try a Gacha game, you should chose Genshin over Wuthering Waves. Most important difference is that WuWa requires higher demand in device performance than Genshin. May be in the future, their roles may be reversed.

[@Kazuki_22]

@@Phillipmurr Maybe you forgot Genshin Impact's launch? Stylized combat is supposed to be a visual clusterf*ck of colors being thrown at the enemies? 90% was taken from Genshin is very disingenuous of you to state that as a fact. Better story? A very dragged-out plotline for every main quest and especially the side quests and don't even get me started with the dialogues that are way too long... that is still to this day is an issue. Don't even get me started with Paimon and the inability to SKIP all those dragged sections to get to the juicy better parts. Gotta agree with the voice acting on that one. Yes. Very expected since they earned a lot of revenue from Hi3rd being used for the early launch of GI with the covid buff in effect. Better art direction is very subjective. But from an objective art direction perspective, they do have good character design but not ALL of them as an artist myself. That it gets so dizzy staring at all the unnecessary accessories and color, Mihoyo, employs on their very fashionable characters. With a very saturated cast of all playable characters that have imitated the same pattern of clothing the other ones had. The need to always still have the twink model for men and boys. Some women playable character models looking very alike if you just change their eye and hair color.

[@brochange123]

I think I will stop playing this genshin copy game . The storyline is not great like pgr or philosophically deep . The noc look horrible as hell they look like they don't even exist. I have to other good games to play like Arknight, BA, Nikke, Pgr, All of this game were able to support my potato device but Wuawa was hopeless my mobile temperature rise up, game lag , Asia countries high red ping and many other . Not worth playing to be honest. I may be wrong as hope anyone give me better reason to play . Open to new discussion

[@lizzika92fonfabre24]

Give some time to adjust the issue. It has less than a month, of course there will be some problem, unfortunately.

[@brochange123]

@@lizzika92fonfabre24 yeah I was thinking like that like how kuro take some time to develop Pgr into a great game . I will stop playing for now when it get better I will come back . My only problem now is 1 constant everyday update ( sure needed for optimisation) 2 Way too long loading up the game( maybe because of my device) 3 The game doesn't respect player time ( we need swipe mechanic for the training one ) 4 To be able to replay story ( it so hard to follow the story, don't know about you guy but the text is kind of hard to read) 5 it feels this game only cater towards PC player 6 I wish they don't try be like genshin 7 that all ( I tired of writing) Anyway thank if you are reading it

[@lizzika92fonfabre24]

@@brochange123 yes, I understand, also yeah, the story is right now not the best part of the game, and on mobile it's not as great as on a computer/good tablet, but again, I think Kuro can get things better. So for the moment It could be okay to pause wuwa

@@hollymolly6579 Yeah the pokemon thingy is a neat idea, but I'm seeing the same warning signs that will make it impossible to balance in a way that makes combat good. Most importantly, it has gear gacha. That destroys balance, so gameplay will be a mix of "You didn't meat the dps check" and piss easy braindead combat.
