You SHOULD Play Punishing Gray Raven in 2024!

[@yurika-rie]

sadly its not a game for everyone, mostly not for casuals. I'm not trying to be the guro of tryhard meta player shit but here's the thing the appealing part of the game is actually trying to play game better and knowing it. From building teams, to actually mastering the characters and their teams rotation, ofc knowing the boss patterns, etc. If you don't like doing this then sadly you'll probably drop the game on a week or 2 you're going to feel like there's no point of playing cause there's really nothing to do except trying to get better at it since the game selling point is combat. this is my opinion as a 2 year veteran player

[@emperman]

What else do you need dude. Been sleeping on this game now i can't stop playing eventhough I've missed so many characters

[@Daredevil-jc7du]

I like aether gazer gameplay more sadly

[@Briliantless]

I have to disagree about PGR being not casual friendly, compared to other action gacha (Aether gazer, HI3rd) PGR has the most straightforward team composition (DPS, tank and medic) and this doesn't change 4 years later You can defeat any boss with any construct, there is no boss locked behind character specific mechanic Almost every modes has "auto battle" Option and the gacha is fair if you don't mind hard pity

[@yurika-rie]

@@Briliantless nah you're just not there yet sure team comp in pgr is straight forward on the surface but their right rotations and competitive gameplay is a different matter. You haven't seen gameplay from exalt top players I can surely say you'll see some mind twisting strat and gameplay you didn't know that can actually be done in the game. While aether gazer for example you don't need to be crazy good to attain its peak or optimal gameplay at all. You control a single character and there's no rng nor switching it's the perfect game for casuals, almost anyone can be good at it.

[@doommaker4000]

​@@yurika-rie Ok,but... Casuals don't play hardcore modes? And you don't need to beat all of PPC to get rewards. Only 10/15 fights. Same with Warzone, just play, get whatever you can, that's it. Same with Norman. You don't need to play on Ultimate difficulties either... The reward differences aren't that big. Hell, even Babel allows you to adjust difficulty so it is piss easy.

[@CaptainBanana]

9:09 you will get enough currency between S Rank patches to get all of them as a f2p player. Also next patch gonna be S rank Ayla and they will give her for free and then for the next patch there will be a free S rank selector. F2p eats good here

I consider PGR to be a "Fat Goldfish" gacha. Because f2p eats good here, but light spenders eat WAY BETTER. Monthly Passes and Battle Passes are insanely good value.

[@SuperSertyuio]

I've been playing this game from before it was released on Global and I can confirm that compared to any other gatcha game, this one has the best combat ever and it is quite F2P. What i like about the gatcha system is that the game rewards you for playing the game every day! You play and do all your dailies and weeklies, you will 100% get the next S rank character without feeling like you gambled your time for nothing! The gatcha system and the gameplay literally made me stick with PGR and PGR only! I played GI, HSR and AG and quit them all because of the same one reason - failing the pity. Now, since i know you heard about the eliticism of PGR community, I'm here to represent that too and explain why! You showed gameplay of Bianca Stigmata and well, you've guessed it! You are playing her wrong. She needs her core passive to work well, which is activated by holding down the dodge button when the purple lines are around the dodge button. after that, you have the orbs on the top of the orbs that you can use that are 3 of a color. When you have an orb the same color as the one from the above line, you will get a bar at the bottom that will empower her first ult part. Now to explain about the eliticism above: 1. If you do the thing i said above and also learn how each character works, you will have more fun! Bianca for example in her first ultimate part will be way faster and hit way harder! 2. PGR is not an easy game so playing the way you do when you reach end game will make you quit the game because you will always die and for some modes, you won't have enough damage to finish in time! 3. When you get to play Pain Cage and Warzone, you will compete against other players for rewards, so the higher the score you have, the better the rewards. The better the rewards, the faster you will level up your characters, so the grind will feel more rewarding, which in turn will keep you engaged in the game more. So yeah! I love this game! Who wouldn't love a game that has literaly DMC combat in it, ON A MOBILE! You can watch the famous motivated alpha vs twins and do a reaction video! That is the peak of what PGR has to offer! And that character is coming to global in February!

[@herrscherofyatta6521]

F2p? Nah..every new S need 6 star weapon, no guarenteed only hard pity trade 90 pulls for 3 6 star weapon. Forces you to upgrade your units to SS and SSS, team synergy is needed hence, gacha for everyone is a must, it's a gawddamn pattern game as of now. Just like honkai. DMC gameplay my ass, use balter timestop what DMC shit is that, that's clearly abusing s like in honkai and they are going that same logic as honkai. All because it's a rotation game, swap swap buff/debuff, more new characters will hv to follow the op route of s here and there. Pgr is underrated while at the same time too overrated by their own community. F2p friendly my ass, sure, wait 3 patches of farming and u can get S rank at full pity essentially able to get every S rank. But the cost is 3 patches of waiting. F2p ain't never gonna get 6 star weapon without significant luck, u wont get 60 + 90 pulls in one patch pfft, best bet around 20~30. That doesn't mean it's super f2p with only 60 pity. And you're basically entitled to play every single day like in honkai. The events, and so on is just similar how honkai works. And it's repetitive. I don't really see what is the gameplay. U just do rotations and patterns similar like honkai and genshin does. It's just honkai with flashier effects.

[@SuperSertyuio]

@@herrscherofyatta6521 Oh really? Weid! somehow they released a new S character every two patches and somehow I have all the characters and all their 6 star weapons! Oh w8! I got the gatcha skin for Plume and getting the skin for Binaca Stigmata too when it comes out! Would you look at that! It's fricking magic! and somehow I have enough BC to pull in the same patch for Alpha too! AS F2P! Hell! I even f*cked up and pulled for Pulse 3 patches before Nanamech came out on Global! The only thing that you are half right about is the combat comparison with DMC I made, though you didn t even get what I was talking about! What I ment is the intensity of the combat! So before opening your mouth so spread misinformation, you better shut up! Don't even bother answering! I'm not interested in arguing with you on something I personally experienced!

[@herrscherofyatta6521]

@@SuperSertyuio every 2 patches that's even worst. 2 patches for 60 pulls and what another 6 patches for one guarenteed 6 star weapon. You didn't even stated u reach pity on most of the time, and based on personal experience, when people decideds whether a game is f2p or not, they base is on the worst case scenario, bcs not everyone gonna have the same luck. If i follow my personal experience, i got balter exactly on 60th pull, my previous S ranks were also on 60th pull. I did 60 pulls on the weapon banner and fck me i got Rozen 6 star weapon instead of the one i want, and another 6 star is for starter lucia. So where's the f2p ness in that? You also gotten gacha skin? Again it's gacha, u gotta label it with the worst case scenario. Doesn't mean your experience will always be the same as others experience.

[@gamogm8234]

i think u right , just play any event with any character trial new player just fine but play in ranked mode for build team we still need own character to play and take so damn long enough team to do that

[@D4rkn3ss2000]

PGR really is a goated game. Best combat of any action RPG gaccha currently avaliable, and this isn't debatable. One of the best OST ever, I am particulary fond of the Trance/Electro pieces. The story starts slow, but it is still good at early chapters, to become quite good after chapter 8, really Hype after chapter 12 and mindblowingly awesome after chapter 17. I do like the character designs, especially those "dulls" colors you mentioned, which is an aesthetic choise, rather than a lack of variety, which I appreciate becase white hair waifus are best :) The game is very F2P friendly, but mostly if you keep track of every new patch because of the 100% guaranteed for every new character. I'm gonna be honest, as an 100% F2P player I am suffering a little bit desiding which character to fully invest on and which not, but light spenders will have a very good experience since, and even if you don't spend, the majority of the game's content can be cleared with any unit you have, so there is that. The game is very player-skill intensive, but you can live without being a mega competitive player. Just completing the daily and weekly quests and events will give you everything you need.

[@GhostyCG]

I loves the colors choice too ! It really feels like they are in an apocalyptic world , no joy , no more fun , fighting to survive. A really smart and cool choice of the color patern for each characters

[@wollyram6248]

PGR is F2P friendly if you do all the daily, weekly and leveling tracks, you will get exactly enough currency for sixty pulls every other patch. The games stumbling block, is that you need full elemental teams to do pain cage, war zone and elimination for essential upgrade materials. Like all gacha games, you need patience and foreknowledge to be efficient, which can be a turnoff if you just want to play. I highly recommend the Grey ravens wiki for meta information. Lastly, have fun, the gameplay music and story are top notch.

[@MrBentalton777]

you do not need full teams unless you really want to be the best which is not required since all the currency is tied to simply doing them at all not from getting the highest score

the story steps up. i got back to the game after a while this month and about chapter 6 as well damn from it to where i am (13) the monsters got cooler the bosses crazier. There's an giant crab with many laser eyes on top of a train, a giant polygon space worm on an 8 (ish?) rotaring rings arena. There are some puzzles as well and route story modes on challenges you unlock after you reach a certain level It certainly helps to get a mentor since completing mentor missions can get you to lvl 40 in pretty much a day

And then they give u two!!!, i repeat TWO (FREE S rank selector) with one coming in the feb patch to complete ur first meta element team or (u can get ur waifu from there i guess 🤷) NOTE: u can pull on alpha coming in feb and get her meta tank (vera garnet) from the S rank selector and finally get liv lux which is farmable to get ur lightning meta team.

Story gets great after chapter 10 imo 9 and 10 aren't bad it's just i don't like them much But yeah story from 1-8 is boring Also just like any community there are good and bad side to PGR community. If you're bad people will just make fun of you using Skill issue As for Gacha since he has only been playing for a month he wouldn't know but PGR gacha is separated into a saving patch and a pulling patch. A saving patch is normally after an S rank is released (like how Lee was released this month) the next patch will be either an A rank or a Free S rank so you can save up for the next S rank. During the save patch you can get a minimum of 7500 to 10000 gacha currency which is 30-40 pulls and he already said the pity is 60 so with good management you can theoretically get every character as long as you continue playing You have 2 months to save up whenever a new S rank is about to be released so that's an easy 60 pulls And don't make the same mistake as some CN players did. In the future there will be 2 Saving patch don't get greedy and pull because after 2 saving patch is litterally 2 pulling patch

Kuro is brave enough to actually go mininalist a la MGS or Nier. With that being said, hope you have fun and welcome to the community.

The mythical threshold for the story getting good is on average is Chapter 9 but I would say that it in reality Chapter 10 There is no mandatory characters in PGR but the newer character are much stronger and flashers in general newer character require you to have less skill since you just deal much more damage, that said you can beat every boss just using your starters if you are good at the game The gacha is constructed in the way that if you do you weekly and daily every time then you can get new S rand(6 star) characters with every patch and the 60 pity gacha is always there
