Which of these free sets would you pick kiwis?

The girl hair and socks are pretty but i feel everything else is hard to mix. The exposed back and armpits is also eye rolling. The boy suffers from generic loocks but that hair color is rare and i like the hat and gloves.
 
I would pick the girl.

If anyone's interested and while it releases in a couple of days, NTE is available for pre-download. It's around 18 to 20 GBs on mobile, around 50 to 60 on PC if I'm not mistaken.

Got the pre-download. I'll be posting my ramblings the day after tomorrow.

Speaking of games...
Etheria Retard ripped WuWa off wholesale.


Yikes
 
For anyone who cares, NTE can be predownloaded in PS5 only if you buy some sort of pre-release bundle (just like Endfield), otherwise we'll be able to download it at release in like 14 hours or so.
 
Fontaine cw is out and fuck rng, fuck hoyo and for good measure, fuck me for playing this game.

So, I go for Lyney. Not heard too much good about him, but I still want him. Loose 50/50 to Sigewinne, the only character I did not care at all about. Would have been happier if I got a constellation on Emilie, but it is what it is. Got magic boy and went for Clorinde. Lost 50/50 again, to fucking Sigewinne again. While I will complete my run for Clorinde, with this luck I might pass on Navia.

Edit: I could do some work on my impulse control, but that would require me to fix my habit of procrastination first. Maybe tomorrow. Anyway, got Clorinde, went for Navia. A third lost 50/50 in a row (Clorinde this time, and no, the irony is not lost on me) I got her and am now going to farmsville for all the stuff I need to make them remotely useful.

Tried NTE a bit last night. Didn't get too far into the game but I'll write about my experience.

  • The cutscene animations are good. The story is serviceable, but nothing game changing.
  • Been playing it on mobile (tablet) and while it runs better than WuWa, it still has some stuttering issues. It lacks graphics too. I've also come across visual bugs.
  • Characters could've been better designed. The males are the absolute worse, but you can't expect much from a waifu game.
  • Combat is like WuWa's, but worse. Feels rather stilted and skills aren't "flashy"
  • There's no way to remap controller buttons and I hate this.
  • Climbing and gliding feel off. I can't put my finger on it, but it doesn't "flow" well. Maybe I'm just too used to WuWa's smoothness.
  • The gearing and awakening system is rather neat.
This game could've used more polish. Is it a Genshin/HSR/WuWa/ZZZ/Endfield/Mongoloid killer? No. If your expectations were low, keep them there.
 
Right so I gave NTE a go and I got some thoughts.

Okay so before playing, I looked around on reddit for what to expect and a loooot of reported severe performance issues on hardware better than mine.

Regarding the content, opinions are mixed as hell.

Apparently, the English voice work is poor. EN Hu Tao voices everyone, it seems. It's a Frank Welker situation I suppose.

Since I play JP, I have zero opinion on the matter. Thankfully, you can select what language you want before starting the game

Moving on! Be warned, it's long.

Story: I...don't really get what's happening. It's some ZZZ shit with a not-hollow threatening a modern society with the not-abyss order ruining people's daily Starbucks addiction.

Sunday/Loucha shows up to vaguemaxx about some bullshit, and I don't really understand how or why.

The tone also completely shifts from super serious to a lel so epic random comedy anime, made partly annoying by some of the characters.

Sunday of the Loucha clan seems weirdly familiar with us. There's even a brief scene where he waves at us, and we barely react, and I'm like "?????"

We meet the annoying teal cat bitch, and she says we smell like cocoa, and they linger on it a little bit as though it matters, and I'm like "?????" again.

The game has an annoying habit of dropping a bunch of terms on you.

Like; "This is the city of Los Pepes Angeles. It's been ravaged by the L'Cieth after an anomaly called the Kuiper Belt Moon suddenly appeared. MC, you were found with a category 4 L'Cieth that we here at Fortuna Mysterious Bullshit Incorporated didn't detect. What's your deal?"

???????

What is the Code Zero?

Escorter? You mean prisoner? What's wrong with Prisoner?

WAIT A MINUTE. ZZZ, IS THAT YOU??
hello.png
Anomaly Hunters....so Proxy?

Graphics: It's actually very nice looking though it doesn't mean much coming from me and my old Laptop.

FMV cutscenes are super nicely animated as well. But the in-game cutscenes can be kinda annoying because there's a bunch of sound effects added.

The FMVs become super annoying with the Le epic random humor. It really does feel like ZZZ on Crack

Performance: I did experience stuttering, but it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. I did fiddle with the settings though, so that night helped.

Gameplay:
I can best describe the combat as Wuthering Zenless Zero Waves. Dodge, parry, keyframes, skill, ult. The usual. Fucking quick swap and counters. It's not even like Endfield, where you use a skill to effectively counter enemies.
dodge.png
Hell it even has WuWa's intro skills.
hm.png
But it's tied to factions like ZZZs faction buffs.
hm 2.png
But we have a double jump. Hurray!

Now how the combat feels...? It's kinda meh. It's a bit janky. It's not the worst but it's not great either. It's okay. Also, the lock-on feature is very inconsistent for me.

Characters also got a slight case of buttershoe when you sprint.

Anyway, the overworld. It's big.
tokyo shanghai.png
Pretty fucking big actually. You can't even zoom out to get a good look of the whole map.
good god.png
Really fucking big. You get to enter all the shops, there's a lot of mini games, collectables, all kinds of shit. It's a massive time sink.

You can also climb. It's very annoying and not very intuitive. Your character stops wall running and resorts to regular, slow-ass climbing after a few seconds.

Characters:
Of the ones we have met so far, a majority of them are very uninteresting, if not outright annoying.

MC is a blank sheet of paper with amnesia. Oh joy. We got a mysterious past and mysterious powers, and people are both fascinated and wary of us.

This ugly ass teal cat bitch is annoying.
go away.png
God, her design sucks ass too.
oh my zzz.png
Ew, go away.
ew.png
I'm gonna bench you ASAP.

There's an optional character you can meet (the one in the Witch's House where you deliver collectibles) who might become a future playable character and I really like her design. Almost. She's introduced feet first which is a huge turnoff but other than that, I think she's cool.

Daffodil is cool too, but she barely does anything. Same with Sunday of the Louchas.

IT'S A FUCKING BOARD GAME
the fuck.png
W A T

It's something else when your gacha animation has a fast-forward option. I wonder if it's some kind of psychological ploy to rile people up so they'll spend more when they see their board game piece miss the S rank character or something. There's a bunch of weird side rules to this shit, and you don't control it at all. I hate this.

Anyway, I need to study the rates too.

What is this?

Bruh it's ZZZ in WuWa. dude.png
The fucking wheel!

The writing leaves a lot to be desired.
oh come on.png

Have I seen you before?
Who.png

I'd rather just call you a dumb bitch.
no.png
I love the illusion of choice.
greeeeeaaaaaat.png
Good. I hope she skins you alive and wears you like a handbag
good.png

My team so far. Annoying cat bitch, MC, preregistration girl and child.
not so fantastic 4.png
Guardians of the Galaxy rejects

There's a star system straight out of GTA and Saints Row. Cause too much trouble and the cops are gonna chase you down. Hell you even get noterity for driving poorly. I find the controls of the vehicles jank as hell and I destroyed half a dozen light posts and got noterity,. Shit, hitting a few random boxes in some allyway got the cops looking.
mind your ps and qs.png
We got anime GTA before we got GTA 6

That's the reference. Now clap

I got a little scooter
so manly.png
So manly!

One final thing. Regarding the whole dating shit....well it's only the female characters you can do things with and even still, it's not all of them. Teal cat bitch, red cat bitch, purple-haired crazy lady, ripoff Jade and pink nurse chick.

With everyone else, you can ride with them on your bike or car or whatever. Though I haven't figured out how yet.

However, you can't do anything at all with the furry dude. You can't even go on a ride with him

That is fucking funny

All in all, I don't think I'm gonna stick with it. I'll log in for the freebies, but it clearly wants to be THE main game. The game you prioritize above all else because there's soooooo much to do and it's kinda overwhelming. It's like Shenmue on steroids.

Beyond the fact that it's a gauntlet, I'm also not...vibing with it. Maybe I'll come back when there's a cool character in rotation, but idk first impressions are...okay.
