ZZZ is starting to really piss me off with the constant shilling and ever-decreasing budget. These devs are incapable of making a good bossfight. Defiler is the biggest piece of shit ever, combined with Seed's clunky kit it's the one boss where I restart if I get one little thing wrong. I'm still getting top 5%, but when a boss interrupts your gameplay for a minute straight where you just press the parry button once every 3 seconds, I just want a boss that is just a boxing bag.
Every Miasma boss is raw dogshit and there will be 2 of them every season until the game dies (jk, it will get milked forever like the hoyocow it is)
 
This shit is dead on arrival. Holy fuck, it looks like garbage! This might be my next dumpster fire that I will do upkeep on whenever Rememento or Black Beacon dies.

I remember seeing the news of this and the gacha roll was literally the star rail voucher, even in the steam page. In fact, it took me one google search to find it. Sounds like an absolute cashgrab.

I guess korean standards are different but you need some variety if you want the global audience. I think most women don't like men with scrawny legs.

Isn't this what Duet Night Abyss is doing? Banking on cosmetics?

It seems Duel Night abyss is trying to be waifu warframe on mobile and warframe is an MMO with different character movesets and their gear you farm/buy so it makes sense to remove the character gacha, it's a system that works. You can even trade premium currency and materials ingame with other players, and i'm not sure doubt duet night will go that far.

Ananta seems to be trying to be anime GTA made in china (and watch dogs AND spiderman) but GTA is NOT a free phone game with never ending content, it's a full priced quadruple A production primarily made for single player story focused on a small team of people. There is online and scummy dlc sure but that's fully detached and consequence of it's sheer popularity and infinite fan servers.

Ananta not having character gacha feels less like good will and more like there is no justifiable reason to roll new units which implies it's own can of worms. Does it not have combat rpg elements? No gear to farm? I mean, why would it anyway if the entire world is open from the start and you web swing anywhere?

One other thing i got on rewatch of this trailer is that there is only human enemies that you fight with very simple and scripted attacks like batman arkham. Where did the colorful ultimates and monsters from previous trailers go? Did they completely change the combat too?

I still have no idea how this game will work, wether it will be free or have user made servers. I guess selling cars, guns, houses and dresses is fine but i don't know if they will have the confidence to do that.

Oh yeah, i don't htink project bang bang is gay cause the MC is a woman lol, i think they want the LADS crowd.

Yeah, that part is fucking obnoxious.

The Miasma bullshit is the worst fucking thing ZZZ has ever introduced. It drags the boss fights, and it's just annoying.

It's a porn gacha, and apparently, they are infamous for being exceedingly greedy, even for gacha.

Hahahahah Rememento.

Or dopey faces.

It will probably be skins and cosmetics.

It always kinda bugs me when these changes get announced and people are like YEAH AMAZING, NOTHING TO SEE HERE, and have no critical thoughts about anything.

People were celebrating it when DNA did it, but no one considered that it's probably gonna be stingy as fuck - or you can buy your way to a new character.

That or they are bitching about "muh female MC".

Regarding Ananta though, the gameplay looks....mmm, idk like bootleg Yakuza? Idk, my hopes ain't high.
Yeah, it looks like that. I don't like otomes(?), so it's not something I'm looking foward to.
Me neither, but I may check it out due to curiosity. The gay gacha, though, can fuck off. It looks like ass.

Hah, ass, because gays.

Same with the shota one. How about no.

If I'm not mistaken, I think you can buy characters... I need to check though.

Or at least pay for stuff to not be as grindy. I don't know much about Warframe.

Mecharashi update:
Got my level cap set to 49, got incredibly lucky and pulled a couple of gold 50+ weapons to buff Sybil and Rosa to help push though these 7-x stages. Things have started to get pretty grindy for minimal rewards because I had issues full clearing.

I unlocked level 50 yesterday and thought it would give me the finale so i could get it before the sunday ends but nope, still over 4k exp to unlock the next mission rip.

I've been using level 41~ weapons for a while cause i hate these new bosses, they all have some big fuck you gimmick and their passive start reading like yugioh cards. Did CO7 and sweeped after you comment and got sylvie a lvl 50 gold rifle at least yee so it's +80 points stronger (wtf).

Remember that you can "hire" someone from your guild and borrow their unit for story and elite missions. I had to borrow a cracked lvl 65 sylvie from someone (it lowers to level 50 but the gun level is the same) and it helped me get the hardest achievements.

Apparenlty this also works in the event trials but even there i'm still not strong enough to clear the level 50 missions so they can't carry alone...

At least i bought all the pledge, conductor and rolls and this cool paint scheme

Bluebird my beloved. It's not that flashy but it's shaaaaark.

There is still one day for melissa banner and i don't know if i roll her or save for lorna, everyone hypes them so much yet their real power is on their final skill like eileen but i can see why they're much better than seven (heal 2 lowest hps regardless of range and refresh turn).

yeaaah if it looks too good to be true then it probably isn't that good or that true. A game with that much budget published by netease who are infamous for greedyness (co developed diablo immortal lmao) and abandoning games.
 
I think there's a bara one too.

Edit: new HSR patch. I've yet to touch the story but there's a new end game mode but it's for mega end game, meaning you need all stars on MoC, Pure Fiction and Apocalyptic Shadow.

Yeah that shit wasn't created for me lmao.

Anyway can't really decide if I actually want ColdMarch. Gave her a test run and she's highly dependant on other rememberance units. She eats her own HP for a Crit DMG buff FOR THE MEMSPRITES which is dependant on how many of them are on the field at the time of summoning her summon before it kamikazes itself when all her stacks are used. It sort of feels like a harmony Castorice. I guess which makes her dedicated support for Castorice and maybe Aglaea? Either way for full use of her kit, you need four summons on the field for the max CRT DMG buff.

As we don't have that many remembrance units, it does kinda weirdly restrictive.

I still don't know how to feel about her.

Will probably still skip her. Everything about this lady just sits weird with me.

But the event is cute. Babysitting Dromas for Anaxa. Though it feels like a deadbeat father pawning off his kid to you.

Also they added yet another currency so you can buy special profile pictures and a pet to follow you around. Another chimera so not even a droma.

Bullshit.

Those are some generic af designs. Half of them feel like rip-offs. And others got some dopey ass faces.
Do straight women genuinely find this attractive? I'm not even trying to be snarky, these just seem so mid I don't know if the target demographic likes these.

You will come to find that fujoshits have zero standards. As long as it's anime and homo, it's hot.

For the rest of the straight women, no, this is gross.

You get it from Stygian. Like I said before, the new endgame mode is whale territory. If you have the newest units (and maybe some eidolons), you'll have no issues.

ColdMarch will probably benefit from Cyrine once she comes out.

I want my free Dang Heng...
 
The 7 sinner straight ships of Khaenriah that survived the cataclysm, damned by celestia and cursed with immortality:

-JeanLuc
-ChiLumi
-ScaraMona
-AYaether
-IttoSara
-Alberose
-NeuviFuri

There are also rumours of a straight ship so sinful it had to be erased from history through the irminsul, YAyato, as it's name is so forbidden that saying it out loud will summon the most evil abyssal creatures online.
ScaraMona is the funniest ship because they only interact once, and it's from a 1.1 event where she used water magic to teleport them away from Scaramouche.

I have no Es. I do have some of the new units but I have never done a full for full completion of any of star rail's end game modes. Uusally get 1 star on the final stage.
Oh well!

Oh you also get the currency by buying them with the blue feathers you get in later stages of the other end game mods.
I want my free Dang Heng...
Me too! For now I'll just skip ColdMarch and wait for a rerun. Idk how much Cyrene needs her since those leaks make her look like the goddamn support queen of 3.X.
Until she gets nerfed or something.

Anyway it sort of helps I'm still trying to get Saber's stupid light cone. I already have Big Mac Herta + light cone.

If I get it early, though, I'll half-ass some pulls for Ebony Darkness. If not, then maybe Anaxa's light cone. I am drowning in 4* preservation light cones + that 5* one you buy from the divergent universe store.

Also, I hope they change the look of DU soon, I'm kinda getting sick of the Greek.

As far as I know, the only reason why it's a ship is that they both wear big hats.

It's so dumb that I kinda dig it unironically. It's silly and a hell of a lot less tiresome than OMG THE TWO CHARACTERS OF THE SAME GENDER STAND NEXT TO EACH OTHER, THEY ARE THEREFORE CANONICALLY GAY, NO STRAIGHTS ALLOWED!!!

Speaking of retardation, @LucasSomething I found that weird ass fucking bit where Dana calls Grant a perv.
da hell.webp
????????????

What is your fucking problem, Dana?

Speaking of little girls...

Finished Seed's character story in ZZZ.
It's....fine? Seed isn't schizo like Rappa, but she's quite autistic. Basically, it's her coming to terms with Seed Sr.'s "death" since it's assumed she doesn't understand the concept of death.

Apparently, he destroyed his own logic core to save her as a child because the automated systems deemed her a threat. Evidently, she has some super duper special power that connects her with machines, and she mind-controls them or something, but can't really control her powers.

So Big Seed took her in and raised her, but by destroying his logic core, he apparently put an expiration date on his own life.

And the story kinda plays fast and loose on how aware she is. Like it comes as a shock to her that Big Seed is dead but then she's like "Deep down, I always knew". Which makes sense I guess. Denial is one hell of a drug.

Seed Sr. himself actually asked the others in Obol Squad to keep his death a secret from her.

So she learns all that shit and has a mental breakdown.
angst.webp
Then it comes out that she's been getting text messages from Seed Sr., which is why she believes that he's still alive, but it turns out that Soldier 11 was the one sending them to cheer her up.

Somehow, Soldier 11 has no fucking idea what's going on but knows just enough to do that. Aight.

It's highly melodramatic. Did not make me care about Seed still. I like stories about death and robots and life and humanity and all that jazz, but I dislike Seed so much that I couldn't give a shit. I did quite like Seed Sr., though.

Then it's just fucking randomly dropped at the end that fucking Seed of all bitches is from that same mysterious school in the old capital as Paethon. Huh??????????

So naturally, we ask "yo, wtf" and she's like "derp derp I don't remember!"

...Uhm...okay?

Also look, the dumb bitch doesn't need her saegway!
you lazy cow.webp
She still needs shoes. Also, goddamn, her top is fucking ugly.

Edit: I checked the Ananta sub and it's kinda a bitch fest. The yuritards vs the self-insert gooners.

People are having gender wars over the existence of FemMC.

I fucking....I am so tired.

After the shotacon gacha, nothing is off the table. Probably better to start trying to predict what niche of degeneracy hasn't been filled yet.

My gamble (ha) is on giant bare feet woman gacha. Snowbreak is going there with every second boss being a giant woman but it's not playable.

????????????

Yesss that's the one i mentioned, such a completely gratuitous slap at his face. Do you remember the mission, i think it's one of the intermissions you can't replay.

I can at least understand the "haha grant is drunk / old / stupid" jokes but he never shows any sign of perversion at any point. I guess his wording was unfortunate and i'd Kaidan pointing it out ("oh you want to walk with little girls now?") but Dana says it so seriously it's like she fucking hates him...

ScaraMona is the funniest ship because they only interact once, and it's from a 1.1 event where she used water magic to teleport them away from Scaramouche.

Welcome to shipping where fanon and dynamics are more important than logic. Hu Tao and Xiangling are besties and actually get teased in every event and promotional material, but since Xiangling's entire personality is I LOVE FOOD she is unpopular and hu tao is instead shipped with Yanfei who she never interacted on screen. Mostly cause they look cute together.

Scara is jerk and flat earther ("sky is a lie"). Mona is sassy and astrologist. Twist both into tsunderes and you get perfect romantic comedy material. It's kinda dead nowadays but it's still both characters only popular straight ship (unless you're one of those freaks who ship Scara with nahida) and has a few soldiers left.

btw star rail beta started and THIS is what Cyrene's kit reads like

And YES, she has a different buff for EVERY unit released in amphoreus, meaning 12 different descriptions. We fire emblem heroes now. Mydei gets 60 crit dmg and Phainon gets infinite ult duration until he dies fuck you.
