After going back and playing so many other Gacha Games, It's even more apparent to me at how shit Genshin and Star Rail's story telling is compared to even a game like Atelier Resleriana, there's emotion in their expressions, there is no pointless bloated dialogue just a well told... well paced story. This game makes peanuts compared to hoyoverse games and yet it can still do story telling like this. This game deserves way more praise and players than it has. This is only Chapter 4 of like 16 chapters currently in the game, I can't wait to see this story progress further. Also the fact they used the money made from this game to make another giant expansion to this story and make a Console game that's coming out next year that will be tied to this is insane. Hoyoverse could never.show more

Been wanting to check that game out, I guess I'll be doing that soon enough ahah Also about time people stopped putting Hoyo games on a pedestal despite their polish

The best way to describe hoyo games (besides maybe zenless zone zero) is a polished turd.

The Penacony praise I've seen is so incredibly undeserved. Even relative to other HoYoverse story's, Penacony is just a shitshow of mish-mashed ideas with little to no cohesion. Not to mention the atrociously bad dialogue in Penacony.

It just sounds like you’re saying “Oh, Hoyo games are popular, therefore they are shit and niche game that no one cares about is better cause it’s niche.” argument I’ve seen thrown around time and again.

Literally not even close to what I said. Get some basic reading comprehension, it’s probably why you love hoyoverse, you don’t know how to read.

You should try Limbus. Gameplay isn't the greatest but it has an amazing story with phenomenal characters

I came to that re-realization after playing Metaphor. Dedicated JRPG's clear gacha games writing and it's not even close.

Yeah cause somewhere along the line it feels like Hoyo just stopped caring. And frankly they dont have to. Folk will play and spend money on their games regardless. If they are making oodles of money anyway they have little reason to change.

I don't know who cultivated on people the ideas of Hoyogames being unrivaled on that aspect Since HI3 they have a problem of "all this blabla/hours for a 5 minutes good moment" Anyway, that clip looks so good, let's give it a try

The atelier games are great. Stoked for Yumia, looks great.
