I was forced to listen to Ironmouse sing during the FFXIV concert and holy shit she sounds awful. I can't believe people were hyping her up as an amazing singer. More proof people who watch vtubers are terminally retarded.

Anyway, in Genshin news somehow Dottore returned to be murdered by the traveler again because that bitch doesn't know when to quit. Also we finally get the final Sumeru archon quest that was promised in the story trailer.

Some drama has hit NTE it seems, that Iron mouse v-cancer (and some others supposedly, don't care enough to check tbh) found out the game uses generative AI for little things like background billboards and such (thing I personally noticed but don't give a fuck about) and she dropped the game despite being sponsored and gave some generic anti-AI speech.

"Promoting gambling for kids is okay, but don't you dare use AI placeholders in your game".

I hope the devs will sue for breach of contract so all this fake grandstanding will have consequences.

I barely know anything about Ironmouse and therefore has next to no opinion of her.

More importantly I took a brief gander at the gacha sub and then the NTE sub and people's reactions are pretty night and day.

It's either AI SLOP, DOES NOT BELONG IN GAMES. EOS NOW

or WHO GIVES A FUCK / EVERYONE IS DOING IT TOO. NIGGER HOYOSLOP CATTLE

Appearently an English VA also spoke out about AI so....idk man, I play JP and I don't really give a fuck tbh. It's a slot machine for anime characters and yall are worried about AI.

The game has far bigger problems than that
 
The whole crux of their argument is that the devs "lied" about AI usage but I have yet to see anyone actually provide evidence of this lie. The only actual statement anyone from the team has put out is that they don't use it for "Core Assets" such as character designs.

Is the game perfect? No, definitely not. The combat doesn't feel as snappy as WuWa or Genshin although it definitely could be with some tweaks. The English VA is pretty wooden and the story is just kind of okay. It's still a mostly enjoyable game but WuWa and Endfield are way more polished as far as "not Genshin" open world gachas go. What it does do though is capture the urban fantasy vibe that ZZZ originally teased us with before going down the route of generic chinese fantasy like every hoyo game and most other chink-made gachas.

I also found out you can't steal random parked cars. BOOOOO NOT MY GTA. Not even my Saints Row

Except when you can? Because I fought some gangbangers doing crime and stole their motorcycle, but lost it because I got stuck on a staircase. Don't laugh.

You can steal parked cars but not ALL cars. The goons' Ducatis are the best way to get around for a long while.
DenseDeerFather said:
Granted, the compensation for that is that you can summon your car or bitch boy scooter anywhere, anytime.

But the drawback is that cars will take damage, and you need to repair them occasionally.

Come on, NTE. HAVE SOME FUN, YOU FUDDYDUDDY!!

It's sad, but apparently it's tied to the gameplay mechanics of using the mechanic in your apartment, later you even get something to take less damage (only in races tho).

I pulled this bitch from standard.

This fucking Yixuan looking ho.

I really don't like her design. Now I'm not an anti-gooner but I am a person who makes a distinction between meh coom and lol coom. This is lol coom. What the fuck is up with her top? It doesn't look like it's connected to her bottom half. So it's a retarded tube top. Okay....?

She's probably meant to be the MC replacement in combat. She is also a biker chick and uses the bike in her ult.

She's one of the best starters in the game at the moment. But not getting a free bike with her annoys me, seriously, my girl Mauvika at least came with her bike instead of it just her being a biker aesthetic.

There's actually a pretty melancholic & somewhat bittersweet side-story in the game, & goddamn those distract a lot, in a good way tho.

BEHOLD, THE ECONOMY CLASS MOBILE!!

The love-child between a Golf & a Volvo. Not just a normal poor-peddler jalopy, but a Europoor Shitbox of the highest order.

I saw that rumors are being spread that the characters are genai and that's why they are all so bad and look like shitty vtubers.

Misinformation, gotta love it.

Until they too go fantasy China. Amazingly WuWa started that way (with some Sci fi) and I think it actually did it the best.

Unfortunately I don't care about titty so I guess I failed lol.

So it's the Luxury Economy Class Mobile? Yay!

Also I somehow stubbornly managed to unlock a teleport waypoint at the top of a tall fuck you building and I don't think you can possibly reach it without Nanaly who can run on walls without using stamina. Jesus.

Why couldn't Nanaly be the poster girl? She might be a little annoying but she's way more tolerable than teal cat bitch, Mint even if she too looks like a budget Vtuber. She has admittingly grown on me

Apparently it has a fuck-ass amount of parkour that can only be precisely done on PC. Funnily enough, you can technically skip the entire parkour part by just gliding to it from far away.

Granted, I can't do the obby on phone cause my phone is old & even cutscenes look like this.

Shopping is even worse tho:

I'm serious when I say it takes 8 mins for the game to actually load the start menu. Unironically plugging in, turning on the PC, & opening the game there is quicker.

The only reason I could sustain the parkour for the halfway point despite running the game on 15-20 FPS is due to my Roblox obby skills from long ago.
 
This NTE outrage over AI is ironic to me cause Mihoyo uses generative AI and promotes it but they have very high good production on top of it and quality control so if you never notice the AI.

In fact, i'm pretty sure they're ok with miliastra using AI art. I just glanced the front page and found this

That is definitely a squirrel that doesn't exist in genshin... and it has no arms.
 
Those models look fucking good. Their collab with DMC was apparently great, so my hopes are high, even though I don't watch Edgerunners.

Meanwhile Clarkson got several dupes in one ten pull and May spent way too much and got fuck all. Naturally he screams CLARKSOOON in jealous rage

Pardon me, I miss old top gear.

Anyway getting back on track: I got Nvidia Geoforce RTX Silver Wolf and her light cone in pretty quick succession so I'm pretty set for Eva.
 
To add to the news of Snowbreak coming back, all of the gooner aspects have been heavily censored, be it character models, skins, art, voice lines and such, gooners all over the world are crying and saying the game will EOS, only time will tell what will happen.

Personally the characters finally look decent and like they come from an actual game instead of a cheap porno, reminds me of when the game initially came out (I still remember those first couple months before everything went down the drain), this just reminds me how much I would like a decent non gooner FPS gacha game, maybe one day...

But that's exactly what kept Snowbreak going. Nobody gave a shit about the game when it came out at first, and going full gooner pandering actually saved it from EOS. Now this whole censorship will definitely kill it, because literally no one was playing Snowbreak for anything besides gooner aspects.

There's Strinova and it's not even gacha.

Can't you just play Warframe?

I tried the game out a couple of times because I kinda like it but it's not for me, the mobility is too much and the progression just feels nonsensical, the game has way too many systems and pieces of content that kinda don't matter as much nowadays but still kinda do, not a bad game but not for me, maybe if I had gotten into it ages ago.

Yeah that is completely true, but I genuinely believe the game should have died, it kinda did, OG snowbreak died the moment they started catering exclusively to gooners as that meant changed to everything (allocation of resources, story, characters, designs, gameplay changes etc), I don't care if gooners kept it alive, I don't see value in gooner games, so it was just a shambling corpse of garbage, the current "censored" version (it's still rather "goonerish" just not as absurd as before the maintenance) shows at least a bit how the game originally was and it made me a bit nostalgic as I did like it even if admittedly it had its flaws when it came to the shooting part.

Regarding Strinova I've heard about it but isn't it only pvp ? Sorta more similar to CS or Valorant rather than Warframe, destiny etc.
