[long lance]

i missed aloy's birthday mail this year rip

[dusty pollen]

Aloy's birthday mail is the yearly reminder she exists

[bright raven]

aloy's just an outlander that vacays in teyvat

for her birthday

No lore no connections

She just exists with a shit kit

[lyric fossil]

No her collab had lore

[proud tusk]

aloy is the definition of a loveless collab made purely cuz of a business deal

[lyric fossil]

Connections

[bright raven]

what lore

[long lance]

oh i need to farm for nefer

[bright raven]

There was her lore from hzd

But no connections to people in teyvat

[lyric fossil]

Horizon’s earth is post climate disaster and populated by rogue AI bots, animals, systems and intelligences with tribal humans surviving amidst them

She is a clone of a long dead scientist with admin access in her blood

[bright raven]

I mean yeah iirc aloy is practically a "bribe" they had to pay sony to have their cross platform between ps and everything else

[bright raven]

That's hzd lore. What's the GI lore?

[long pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/aloy-horizon-forbidden-west-genshin-impact-gif-25164555

[lyric fossil]

Second game teases space travel and other human colonies returning

[bright raven]

She's got nothing from teyvat

[proud tusk]

yea pretty much

[lyric fossil]

Yeah theres nothing except parallels

[long pilot]

Alice fucked around.

[bright raven]

Having aloy is just early player flex

[lyric fossil]

Alice has been to our earth

She is aware of the rubicon

[bright raven]

even that isn't the best given festering desire exists

She's aware of idol groups

Maybe she's aware of aloy

[lyric fossil]

Iirc she gave mavuika the blueprints to flamestrider ?

[bright raven]

As the sustainer of the world's borders

hmm i only read xilonen's part on it

[long pilot]

And the tale of Eris goddess of discord. Assuming Alice isn't Eris herself.

[lyric fossil]

She is in charge of immigration

Also didnt she voice her collected miscellany

[proud tusk]

but also it's funny to think that despite HSR X Fate being a collab out of the developer's interest instead of a business deal
they still managed to mess it up with insane amount of reuse asset

[lyric fossil]

Wait this is new

[vale granite]

do u guys think alice and welt are from the same earth

[bright raven]

And she said that it's anicentndragonnshit

[lyric fossil]

Welt ? What

[bright raven]

Lmao

Archer is the only saving grace he's do fuckingnstong

[long pilot]

Golden apple archipelago is named after the golden apple Eris gave to basically set off the trojan war.

[lyric fossil]

Ohhh

[bright raven]

Hmm

[lyric fossil]

I am unaware

[long lance]

why does nefer's sig use sumeru mats

[bright raven]

Interesting, given how every summer event is

Setting us off to a new region

[vale granite]

does nefer also use azdaha mats

[long lance]

no

[long pilot]

cause it's from Sumeru?

[bright raven]

trojan war led to creation of the colony that became rome

[vale granite]

oh me meant apep

[bright raven]

No

I was abt to say weeklies follow the ladt released one even if it's not lore relevant but yelan usrs azhdaha

Wait fox

When wss galvrena mentioned in wuwa how have you been her nail cover for ages begore her release

[proud tusk]

for what it is I don't think the collab is as bad as people say
Saber and Archer's animations are amazing if we don't look at the meta side of things
they made a story for it, a for attempt there

just the reuse asset makes it really distracting and pulled the players out of a supposed to be emotional moment

[proud tusk]

leak

[bright raven]

Yeah, if they weren't lazy the collab would have been fun

Story was also at least a lil interesting i kept seeing people talk abt it (not just britain)

[bright raven]

Icic

[lyric fossil]

Befause she is related to Thoth

[plain portal]

It's weird how hsr makes similar money to genshin and still does such lazy work
At least genshin has excuse for being open world and they still make unique domain for story quests... What the excuse for hsr?

[proud tusk]

the fact that they just use an NPC for caster
didn't even change the hair, is also funny

[lyric fossil]

Designing mydei pecs

[plain portal]

Believable

[sinful wigeon]

The real cashcow

[plain portal]

Zzz sounds like it's in development hell the way their betas are always broken and even they do better job than hsr

[proud tusk]

I mean, that is kinda just hoyo as a whole
for what it is, I will say that ever since GI release it has become a pattern that they will only do what is most effective and safe for them

[proud tusk]

ZZZ compare to GI and HSR are simply just a much smaller IP
they don't really put much resources into it compare to GI and Honkai

so a lot of the time the Devs simply have to make do with what they have

[plain portal]

Hsr literally had better presentation then genshin when it released and then it just never improved

[proud tusk]

well as I said they only do what is the most effective

also from one of their interview with interns, they made it clear that they always prioritize mobile
which would explain why they keep everything at the minimum

[undone heron]

layoff on hsr as long as danheng isnt slandered...

👿

[plain portal]

I think in early amphoreus it actually downgraded at least they fixed that
Da wei said they got too ambitious with amphoreus where they wanted to do a lot of things but couldn't I think we're just seeing the effects of that
Hopefully with 4.0 they bounce back

[lyric fossil]

Dont they say that every region

[plain portal]

[long pilot]

Inazuma moment

[undone heron]

i think the best ampho arc was up until castorice

[long lance]

anyone remember that braindead genshin comparison

of the diluc cutscene and the dain non cutscene from A Space and Time for You

[proud tusk]

yea I think they wanted to do a lot
so they ended up cutting corners in many area more specifically the character animation during dialogue

but I think it probably also have to do with their ideal to optimize the file size, that's why even in GI they rarely ever add new animations and always reuse them in dialogue scene
Pretty apparent when looking at Wuwa where they always add new animations for dialogue scene on top of making main story quest for every patches, the file size do get pretty big

[proud tusk]

the most recent Dain cutscene I remember is the tom and jerry looking one

[long lance]

i think they were wuwa players but the gacha grail kind

[long lance]

which

[plain portal]

Just give the option to delete older stuff like quest events etc.. Unless that also doesn't help

[proud tusk]

the one where Dain fought haden

[long lance]

i forgot why people were shitting on it

[proud tusk]

that probably helps
they probably just can't figure out how to work especially for GI since it's an openworld where every thing is connected
no idea about hsr tho

[dusty pollen]

They need to stop being obsessed with continuous double 5* banner

[proud tusk]

https://youtu.be/E3JkHnqpJC4?si=TXhL55hJPQM5p2tW&t=128

[dusty pollen]

Actually, slightly hot take but modern gacha games would feel much better if their devs stopped being obsessed about double 5* banner every single fucking patch

That is to say, HSR at least stops now and then but it's not enough, ZZZ insists in it even when they have to cut corners or it affects the dev like what happened with Lucia. WuWa at least had more single banners and the pull count apparently seem to make up for it

[undone heron]

hsr doesnt do that anymore. its new 5 and old 5

[dusty pollen]

I think there's never going to be a game as slow paced or relaxed as Genshin

Where every region is just two double banner patches, one at the opening and the other usually at end of AQ arc and then the rest is single 5*

Must everything go at a breakneck pace ?

[proud tusk]

most likely cuz they're already at the late stage of the patch
i imagine at the start of 4.X it will be the same again

[long lance]

what is bad about this

[proud tusk]

what is not bad about this

[light ibex]

Double 5* will come up again soon

[long lance]

it's not a cutscene

have you seen the actual cutscene of this AQ

this is a pre render

[hoary crest]

https://tenor.com/view/hasan-dog-hasan-kaya-shock-lightning-gif-11380058768847039179

[proud tusk]

and that is exactly the thing

Genshin always kinda just sucks with non cutscene scenes
if they want to reuse animations for the sake of file size then fine

but when it's a scene that is supposed to express strong emotions and conflicts
then they should either just make unique animations for it, or just use a cutscene for it.
otherwise it looks silly

[light ibex]

6.0 ingame rendered cutscenes improved a lot

[proud tusk]

I'm not sure about that lol

at least from the one I saw, I wouldn't call them an improvement
they just started using a lot more transitions and camera movements for them, but the way they use it doesn't really look good either

like the nodkrai introduction scene just looks like bollywood edit, compare to the time they they just do slow panning
which was simpler but it looks more professional

[long lance]

it's not tom and jerry

[light ibex]

were pretty seamless. Unique animations as well

Pretty big improvement

[long lance]

it's showing how strong dain is without showing him directly fighting

[proud tusk]

buddy it's straight up offscreen shaking
that is as tom and jerry as it can get

[undone heron]

i guess...wait whos after cyrene

[light ibex]

Constance

Shes solo 5* too

[undone heron]

aw

[proud tusk]

again, the point isn't do more = improve
the point is that make it look good = improvement

[light ibex]

4.0 will be double for some amount of patches

[long lance]

that's how strong he is

[light ibex]

They do look pretty good

[undone heron]

makes sense

[proud tusk]

by what standard ?

[light ibex]

Mine i guess? They just look fine

Not off putting or awkward as they were before

[proud tusk]

i mean the one i saw looks pretty bad
unless you have one in mind thaty you can show me

[undone heron]

this is the arc where welt gets buffs

and my e4 welt gets t0 value

[light ibex]

I mean i saw all of them and they were fine

[proud tusk]

I don't even have to compare to other games, just with genshin's own
this one looks good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5m0yH657js

[plain portal]

Genshin should add anime cutscene in between would be so good
They already make several trailer might as well add some in game

[light ibex]

real..

[proud tusk]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SBN3qxZVrlA\

this one looks like shit

[light ibex]

Yeah i didnt like that one

[undone heron]

recently right

the one in nod krai where rerir gets found out

[proud tusk]

I guess you did said you don't care about the animations so I guess your standard aren't all that high to begin with

[long lance]

wuwa player saying this

[undone heron]

i mean its not an animated cutscene

i also dont like it

and its like a fart on a 6hr quest

i actually only realized it was a big deal to a lot of ppl when the tectone twitter space had a field day with the nod krai cut

[proud tusk]

I don't think the rest of them are any good either tho
animation wise

unless again someone can send me one so I know which one in particular that people think is good so I don't miss anything

[long lance]

it's a good quest so that one thing doesn't really matter

[limber heath]

why would you care about opinions of people who clealy don't like genshin?

[proud tusk]

I mean, given that genshin animations have been like this for 5 years now I don't think people really care about the quality of it anymore
like what people often said here, it is what it is for you guys

[undone heron]

im like. in a restaurant and the food is to my taste. im not a chef but i like the food yk. im sure the people who are food critics would have a field day with it but like im full thank u for the food chef

[proud tusk]

I know
like I said, "it is what it is"

[limber heath]

who exactly is the food critics here?

[long lance]

idiots

[vapid current]

its more like ur in a restaurant because u like the steak and someone constantly comes into the restaurant saying "the dessert here is really bad, do u guys just have no standards for ur dessert???" well ppl aren't here for the dessert. would be nice if it was better

[long lance]

losers

subhumans

[vapid current]

but who cares

[long lance]

other words i cannot say here

[limber heath]

do people actually think their opinion hold more weight than others' on something subjective or something?

[long lance]

@undone heron did you like the nod krai animated cutscenes

[proud tusk]

that's why I ask people to show me the one they like in particular
that way people can discuss about it and see why people find them to be good

instead people refuse to so it's just me saying I think they look bad and people like you will shit on me calling me a hater

[limber heath]

i thought all cutscenes are animated?
i guess there were frames of Ineffa punching the barrier, that one are still drawings

[undone heron]

yeah i think its nice... im not an animator but i would like to think im exposed to enough media.. i watch movies every week i go to the cinemas 4x a month.. i attend film festivals..i think it the quality is not subpar or substandard

im actually in the cinema rn!!hehe

[limber heath]

i think there was one cutscene long ago that hoyo messed up real bad

it was in zhongli demo

one of the npc was supposed to sit on a chair but the chair doesn't exist

[undone heron]

0 context

see im in da cinema

[long lance]

wtf

put your phone away

[ember oasis]

how were you this ready to take the picture

[undone heron]

it was pure coincidence lmaoo

its abt drugs tho☹️

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt26252716/

[limber heath]

last movie i saw was oppenheimer

[proud tusk]

not exactly the same tho?

in your analogy, you're comparing liking the story to the equivalent of steak which is a main course, while compare the animation with dessert which is like the last meal or side dishes

but we are talking about animations in a 3D media, which is one of the key important thing about it
if they pick this as a media to carry out the story, the least they could do is to make sure they use the full of that media and make it look as good as possible

if not then what is the point ?

like your menu analogy, if the dessert is really that bad on the menu and the chef clearly has no care for the dessert, why have dessert on the menu

[undone heron]

very nice!

[limber heath]

no it was not nice

[vapid current]

key important things if ur a zoomer, yeah

which im not

so

[long lance]

you never go to the movies?

[limber heath]

wym?

[long lance]

last movie i saw was tron ares lol

[vapid current]

im mostly just complaining about the loser who constantly comes into the restaurant to complain about the dessert at a restaurant they don't go to.

[proud tusk]

apparently caring about animation quality is a zoomer now

[undone heron]

did u enjoy it

[bright raven]

Me no go either

[limber heath]

i watch like 1 movie every 2 years

[proud tusk]

except I did went to this "restaurant" before
have been for 5 years too

[vapid current]

yeah

sure u did

[bright raven]

I guess it's like

Some people prefer spicy some sweet

[vapid current]

im glad u were at least able to recognise u are in fact, the loser in question and we're not debating that.

[bright raven]

Some people prefer one some the other

Makes neither bad

[long lance]

wonder if act 3 and 4 will have crazier cutscenes than act 1 and 2

[proud tusk]

yea xuz you are defintely not attacking me here like you always want to

[light ibex]

Itll probably be consistent

[vapid current]

No, its just forcing a "standard of quality" on things ppl don't like. It's how u get CoD losers who complain about games with any kind of actual artistic direction, because ultra realism is the ultimate endgoal of games.

[limber heath]

i mean you can already see about 1/4 of it in the trailer

[proud tusk]

surely you're talking about someone else

[long lance]

are you sure

[bright raven]

Fr will my son is exploding

[limber heath]

rerir vs bina

wonder if she just dies lol

[light ibex]

I imagine so? 6.0 seemed like a good place to be and main story might be longer than 3 patches

[bright raven]

Quality probs will besimilar since too short timeframe fot drastic improvement

[undone heron]

nah

[long lance]

wonder if that durin moment is from the same cutscene

[undone heron]

das my daughter

[bright raven]

But thncontnent will be crazier since it's not ch1, it's ch2 of story

[long lance]

it does look like it

[bright raven]

No, different locations

Durin moment had the location first frame, but rerir vs bina is hiisi isle

[undone heron]

if columbina gets fatally hit thats where my goat nicole comes in

[limber heath]

i care much less about animated cutscene that good writing
i read vn for decade so it's just text and images and music, sometimes with voice

[long lance]

if nicole is in the cutscene would that be hidden in preload

[proud tusk]

and you're not doing the same ?
by telling me that I'm just a loser and idiot for not liking it and expecting the animation quality to be better
you are forcing your standard of quality on me, cuz if I don't like it, I must be a zoomer and and idiot right ?

[vapid current]

no u are just an idiot

[bright raven]

I assume she will be, kickstarting our "sending her to the moon fir recovery"

[vapid current]

I've said this many times before

nothing has changed

[long lance]

yeah but imagine it's bigger and more insane

[proud tusk]

of course nothing has changed
you guy aren't about changes

[vapid current]

?

[long lance]

like that rerir vs bina cutscene will probably not be short

[undone heron]

there is no more moon 😞

[long lance]

actually wait

is varka lifting his sword also from a cutscene

[limber heath]

what do you think?

[long lance]

https://tenor.com/view/varka-genshin-impact-genshin-impact-6-gif-5451082652005167458

[undone heron]

nah

[limber heath]

that's his entrance scene

[proud tusk]

I mean yea nothing wrong with that
I never said the story sucks because the animation sucks

I'm just saying the animation can be done much better
if people don't care about it fine, they can just say nothing of it

but for people who cares, they can talk about it
and since Hoyo picked a media where animations are important for it, it should be fine for people to care about it

[undone heron]

i want him in a way that is concerning to feminism

😔

[long lance]

so we have the rerir vs bina, durin powering up and the nefer desert cutscene

[light ibex]

Fox rlly passionate abt the worst cutscene of 6.0 story that happened in the first 5 mins

[undone heron]

danheng might be my most normal hoyo boy fave

harumasa too

[limber heath]

wait, before we continue, what does "cutscene" mean to you?

[vapid current]

i just dont get it. were ur standards so shit 5 yrs ago?? why did u even play the game?? the cutscenes were even worse when the game launched.

[undone heron]

but he dying

[proud tusk]

I'm not even just talking about that one scene in particular

[vapid current]

its not like there weren't games with way better animation quality 5 yrs ago

[long lance]

what do you think

[vapid current]

but u started, self admittedly played for 5 yrs

[light ibex]

Which other have you seen? I thought it was just that one

In 6.0

[vapid current]

and still say "animation is the most important part of a game"

[limber heath]

scenes between gameplay segments

[vapid current]

but played the game with terrible animation

[proud tusk]

I was willing to give them a chance to improve
I also think their animations are shit too, and often use HI3 as comparison
and use HSR as comparison when it released too (when HSR animations are still good)

[vapid current]

so u just play shit games for fun, waste 5 years of your life on them? strange hobby I must admit.

[long lance]

https://youtu.be/w50jW_iEXns?si=no6KeCixqWbhHtvq&t=40
like this is one

[proud tusk]

I didn't say animation is the most important part of a game
you called me an idiot yet you cannot read what I said?

I said animation is one of the most important thing in the media they picked
it's not the most important, but it is one of them

[proud tusk]

?
how do you even get that ?

I think I started playing genshin just cuz I want to shit on it ?

[long lance]

https://youtu.be/w50jW_iEXns?si=X3dE-gG3i5nKzamC&t=99
this is one too

[vapid current]

well, you constantly come here just to talk about how bad genshin is. you have been doing it for at least 3 years minimum. it makes me think its some kind of deranged hobby.

I can only imagine how much time its actually wasted

[proud tusk]

incase you don't know
you can play a game and still have things you don't like about it and talk about it right ?

[vapid current]

yeah. but its all u do

[limber heath]

FNC is so bad, 0-2

[vapid current]

like I said. its some kind of deranged hobby. u should really do some introspection

maybe see a therapist?

is something wrong?

[proud tusk]

If I want to live in a world where all I can do is talk about positive stuff
I will move to north korea

[light ibex]

Of course you can criticise something whenever but i question your motives when you base hours of discourse off of one scene out of a 8 hour quest lmao

[vapid current]

I do wonder where I said that, but as I've said constantly before, reading isn't your strong suit. nor is comprehension.

[light ibex]

Just stirring shit

[vapid current]

5 years later, no one is taking ur crown fox dw. u are still definitely the dumbest person in this server. and u have a lot of competition.

[long lance]

wait there's two bina flying cutscenes

[proud tusk]

I'm more so refering to the dialogue scene

I don't really have any issue with their cutscene, I think hoyo has always done them pretty well for the most part

[proud tusk]

you know
I can just ignore you, as you want to ignore
since you already have a twisted view on me anyway

[long lance]

i wasn't responding to you

[vapid current]

yes

ideally you will ignore me by leaving, but as I've said 3 times now. you have some deranged hobby that keeps u here

that no one has ever really been able to figure out

[proud tusk]

I'm not even just talking about one scene
this whole thing didn't even started with nod krai cutscene either
was simply commenting on the Dain vs Haden scene

[light ibex]

Yeah we've talked abt this before, and my points always been 6.0 minor cutscenes are a lot better

[proud tusk]

what do you even want me to reply you
cuz every thing I say you're going to twist it into like I have mental issue

so really what is the point ?

just tell me what do you want me to say so I can say it to you and you'll be happy about it
I talk about the cutscene, you say I don't play the game
I say I played the game you say I have a deranged hobby
what do you want

[vapid current]

I dont want you to reply to me. I want you to fuck off.

you are a blight

your presence actively makes this a worse place.

every message you send makes this a more miserable place.

[topaz bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/혼파망-피자-당황-community-chaos-gif-16635574

[proud tusk]

I won't so you can stay angry about it

[vapid current]

I know. you think its an own to constantly just waste your life talking about a game you don't play, just to talk about everything you don't like about it. I'm sure it's fulfilling for you.

you sure showed me.

[opal bone]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/GyKtIbFW4AAtsca.gif

[proud tusk]

which i asked which one but you never show

Like I said from the one I saw, I've jsut seen a lot of camera transitions
but for the most part the animations are pretty much the same

[proud tusk]

ok

[vapid current]

go play the game you fucking waste of space. figure it out for yourself, no one wants to talk to you.

[light ibex]

The burden isnt on me to prove you wrong when you want to believe shit you havent seen is shit lol

[proud tusk]

ok

[light ibex]

I dont care to inform or prove you wrong

[vapid current]

All I am doing is saying what everyone else is thinking but is too civil to say.

[light ibex]

Youre objectively just uninformedly stirring shit abt smth you dont gaf about

[proud tusk]

then please
when I wasn't having a convo with you next time
don't join in

[light ibex]

How about informing yourself on the things you want to talk about?

Blindly swinging it at ppl who've played the game is what id define as stirring shit

[solid dust]

Bruhh this shit again?

[light ibex]

yes

[solid dust]

I thought we were done with it from luna 1

[vale granite]

what luna version are we at now

[limber heath]

12

[solid dust]

15

[topaz bobcat]

Luna 3000

Cause this version never seems to end

[solid dust]

We re looping again

[limber heath]

this is one of my favourite scenes
one of the very rare few times when i actually felt something during genshin story

[vale granite]

maybe it's cause of the #・current-beta-tc

no more nefer-tc

[topaz bobcat]

Not the samsara again AHHH

[proud tusk]

and when I want to proceed by asking can you show me which one in particular you won't
want is exactly the point really

or is it you just want me to say
wow it's actually pretty good I really like it

[twin thistle]

Choc and fox pvp

TCL is so back

[vapid current]

calling fox a person is debatable

[solid dust]

[light ibex]

Id rather you stop trying to argue in bad faith abt smth you dont care abt. Its abundantly clear you just dont want to have any sort of productive conversation abt it

If you want proof watch a playthrough or smth

[proud tusk]

like I said, I watched that's how I got that opinion

[light ibex]

The biggest improvement is in the minor animations of just small movements, no point in giving myself the trouble

[light ibex]

You watched the whole thing? Why do you want me to point videos to you then

[vapid current]

Its so wild 'cause like Jll isn't even a genshin shooter man. They criticize the game heaps.

[twin thistle]

Watch gundam

[topaz bobcat]

What was this scene supposed to be again? This feels like that one traveler sibling quest in sumeru with the sinner rock thingy

[light ibex]

When its bad i shit on it when its fine i say its fine

[limber heath]

the chat make no sense for me because it looks like the wind is talking with eachother

[vapid current]

its the collei scene

when ur running around with collei fixing stuff

[limber heath]

Paimon was about to unleash Paimonial wrath on Collei and Collei got ptsd

[topaz bobcat]

Holy hell insane memory

[proud tusk]

like I said, so that I know which one in particular that you think is an improvement
if your answer everytime is just overall, I wouldn't know how cuz my thoughts on it isn't the same as yours
if you show me which one there is at least a scene to discuss about it

[limber heath]

i was actually confused af during the scene

[topaz bobcat]

Ohh right this was the origin of paimonial wrath

[limber heath]

we were talking funny and all and Collei suddenly yelled like she was gonna be killed

[vapid current]

tbf, I play with japanese voices so I recognised it as Collei at the end

and there's only 1 part where she lashes out like that

[light ibex]

But you did watch the whole 8 hour quest right? Jahodas crash outs are a pretty easy comparison since they did the same thing with citlali

[proud tusk]

like i showed a comparison between the old fontaine introduction and the new nod krai introduction to discuss about that scene and how they could've done better

lmao

"Tell don't show" 🗣️ 🔥 🔥

[ember oasis]

they had budget to animate a single attack for dain that update

[agile mica]

the rest went to their yachts

[ember oasis]

you mean the neuclear reactor

[agile mica]

also the reactor*

if that's still running anyway lol

embezzlement of funds is the way to go 🗣️

[ember oasis]

can't forget the money going to their future lawsuit against nintendo

[agile mica]

or has ever run actually

[limber heath]

the way Paimon changes her tone is just so funny

[agile mica]

Nintendo's lawsuit against Palworld isn't even going well

granted Palworld united so many games and Sony itself

[ember oasis]

they just bought a large share of a neuclear company, i don't think they opened a working plant yet

[bright wasp]

shouldve used that money to make better looking pokemon games smh

[agile mica]

but yes the lawsuit situation is just pure horseshit rn

[proud tusk]

I've seen that, I think her expressions are pretty funny but I wouldn't really call that animations

the thing with GI animations during dialogue scene that I noticed is that characters tend to just pose instead of actually moves
like it's always the standard hand raising, cross arm etc, the usual animations

occasionally they do add new animation but those are mostly still just posing still. hence why i said for the most part I don't see much improvements

and then the camera framing, composition is still the same for the most part, they don't really look that interesting

and the expressions are still the same old same old, the only one that looks unique are like you said the ones like Jahoda and Citlali's, which looks funny which is the only time when they can do it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XTXotjzgEI

[agile mica]

you know they're not gonna do that

[bright wasp]

ik, which is sad

[agile mica]

lol

[bright wasp]

cuz pokemon fans would eat that shit regardless

[agile mica]

that being said, I tried Palworld months ago and it was stellar

still playing it

it's more than Pokemon with guns and decisions of absolute good or evil

[limber heath]

never a fan of openworld survival game

[vale granite]

is palworld better than the new pokemon games that just came out recently

[agile mica]

"but Palworld 'stole' designs from other certain pokemon" for their first recent patches yes and it's less stealing most of the time, plus, don't act like Nintendo didn't do that for Pokemon decades ago

[limber heath]

i guess it's big in the west

[agile mica]

absolutely

[limber heath]

barely anyone played it here

[agile mica]

I can vouch for it

[agile mica]

yeah it has a really grindy endgame, but that's pretty common imo

[ember oasis]

the expression drawings are funny, but the way that they were implemented is a little lazy tbh, it's just a decal 2d texture slapped on their face, without any regard to the camera's position. So the devs need to pay a ton of attention to the camera's view every time they use these, which usually results in pretty bland framings

[vale granite]

ohhh

[limber heath]

if i see a "openworld building survival game" i just skip

[agile mica]

Palworld has a huge western fanbase yeah

and has announced their 1.0 release int he months to come

[limber heath]

there are too much of them

[agile mica]

so I'm preparing for it

[vale granite]

wait me thought tcl told me like palworld is dying game

is palworld still going strong now

[vapid current]

palworld is a slop game, but because it got propped as a symbol against pokemon, ppl love it because they hate pokemon more.

[agile mica]

it's not dying lmao, hell the company itself told players it's fine to step off the game since they're working on major updates

plus why did you ask tcl when they never played nor hopped on to it

[agile mica]

this is usually the common opinion until someone tries the game

because they tried it

[vapid current]

true

but im not going to try it.

because no part of it looks appealing

[agile mica]

no surprise, it's not for everyone

that goes for most games

[vapid current]

All of their games that I've seen fall into the same bucket it looks like. where they just add a bunch of stuff and it rly feels like it has no cohesion. not visually, not thematically, not in a gameplay sense. but some ppl just like having a lot of stuff, and that's where its appeal is.

[twin thistle]

Palworld fucking sucks

[agile mica]

I disagree, that's not their only appeal nor is it their big appeal

[twin thistle]

Palland better

Palworld killer

[proud tusk]

I mean, I think for what it is, it's fine
for comedic purpose I think it looks ok, they've been doing this since HI3

But I can't really praise it that much cuz as you said it's not a very impressive work either since it's just PNG overlapped on the face to cover the default eye
but the rest of the animations are still the same old same old

framing in GI and HSR as a whole imo is just nothing interesting going on. just looks very basic

[agile mica]

fun fact that did not help their lawsuit against Palworld lmaoo

[lyric fossil]

nod krai is one of the prettier overworld places, and the music is great.
It is a gameplay downgrade though, we took 3 steps back on overworld gameplay design

natlan, fontane, and sumeru all had good exploration mechanics for the most part, NK is just... not it

[agile mica]

oh yeah NK exploration is absolutely meh

[ember oasis]

felt hella rushed

[proud tusk]

nod krai exploration is just basic
if you like genshin exploration you'll probably still like it

[vapid current]

It's experimental

at least

[lyric fossil]

The first region expansion’s exploration is always basic

[limber heath]

nah not fontaine

[proud tusk]

it felt more back to basic than experimental

[limber heath]

underwater was shit

[ember oasis]

have you played it fox? it FEELS unpolished

I walk around a lil with my colleague's acc

not sure about unpolished, just felt that nothing really new or refreshing about it

[agile mica]

bro is focusing his inner Saturn

[ember oasis]

floating water cubes, puzzles in and out of water, map altering changes, and just overall density of stuff to do

idk, fontaine was good overall

[limber heath]

doesn't feel good to me

[twin thistle]

Is eron not glazing it?

[limber heath]

it's just pick this animal, break rocks and cut vines

[proud tusk]

underwater was fun at start until it becomes repetitive
but at least it was something new for the experience at that time

[vapid current]

eron only glazes movement tech

[vale granite]

does natlan feel better to play in than nod krai

[limber heath]

NK is more fun with the mirror and magnet puzzles

[ember oasis]

i think you might need to interact with the puzzles a bit to get what i mean

[limber heath]

fontaine was the weakest to me

[lyric fossil]

Eron comments on map design

Not puzzles

Nod krai puzzles are not on par with natlan’s

[proud tusk]

Natlan at least the Saurian mechanics make some new experience as well

[lyric fossil]

Natlan puzzles were emebellished

[ember oasis]

all the box robot puzzles are terribly unpolished

[lyric fossil]

Nod krai is eye candy

[limber heath]

what box robot?

[ember oasis]

both in animation and just execution and clarity

[lyric fossil]

Bork

Or whatever that mek is called

[ember oasis]

those cubical robots that follow you, they have a variety of puzzles throughout the map

[vapid current]

They can do more with nod krai stuff. It's just low scope design. but they already showed cool stuff, its just not present. interacting with enemies is a great idea. using magnetism to beat robots.

but u dont do it often

[limber heath]

aren't they just there to let you know that there is chest nearby?

they display the chest on their screen

[ember oasis]

bru some of them are a part of the puzzle

did you play NK?

[agile mica]

lmaoo

[ember oasis]

not these

[limber heath]

you mean finding x of them ?

that's just aranara

i don't consider them puzzle

[ember oasis]

yesn't, some of the finding uses them in part of the puzzle

for example, you need to launch one to hit a flying copter

it looked so cluncy i thought it was a bug

or one where you lead it to eject a box to break a wall

[limber heath]

you mean using kuuvahki to throw bomb at robot?

[ember oasis]

nooo

[agile mica]

[limber heath]

i don't remember much, since anything with wall and barrier i just don't do

i just clip through them

[proud tusk]

just the puzzle aside I just find Nod Krai unimpressive

the visual is good but that has been an expectation from GI for a long time
it just felt back to basic that's all

[limber heath]

i only do those mirror puzzles with the magnet thing

those are nice

[ember oasis]

yes they are good

maybe the only puzzle i liked in NK

[proud tusk]

unpolished or not I think it's ok
probably cuz I don't really have much expectation with their puzzle design in the first place

my fav region's puzzle will always be Inazuma

imo they peaked there

[limber heath]

if a chest is locked behind a wall that you need to break through puzzle then i just don't do, i just go straight to the chest

i still have quite some keys for doors that are still locked, with nothing inside the room

[ember oasis]

when i had fun with a sudoku puzzle in inazuma and then saw all of the internet bitch about it i realized the future of puzzles is cooked

[limber heath]

best puzzle design was on gaa2

[ember oasis]

[stares at bird statue for 20 minutes]

[limber heath]

you actually need to read and understand hints, and then go around the map to find more hints

[ember oasis]

but yes, mona's island was great

i want more mona islands please

[limber heath]

it's a riddle

[agile mica]

Fischl's castle was grueling lmao

[proud tusk]

and it was indeed cooked imo

the newer puzzles give me the feeling of "try to find the right lever to pull" rather than try to solve something

[vale granite]

me remember how people used kazoo to force solve the kazoo island puzzle with the far bridge

[ember oasis]

i know, but why do i need to sit through 20 mins if i misclicked the answer?

[twin thistle]

Puzzles were way too hard for ur average jenshin player

[summer fractal]

no. why would u reroll

this is cracked

[agile mica]

they were also kinda funny to be cheesed like unintentionally one or more of your auto attacking skills hit them and then you somehow solved it

[ember oasis]

it also punished my alt as i already knew the answer

[twin thistle]

Reroll

50 cv or bricked

[summer fractal]

rv > cv

well the rv aint that high

[agile mica]

this might be better than the future ones you'll have

[summer fractal]

cuz its low roll

[ember oasis]

people should just pick up a pen and paper smh

[twin thistle]

700 cv or bricked

[agile mica]

yeah rip puzzles, I liked the Inazuma ones a lot

[twin thistle]

RV*

[ember oasis]

i liked everything other than the electro compass

[agile mica]

yeah they were quite annoying, and due to also how quick electro aura fades

[twin thistle]

Can't u just cheese it with beidou hold e

[agile mica]

Electro Seelie was basically fast asf, you HAVE to keep track of it but you'll solve the puzzle quickly

[twin thistle]

Shut up layla main

[vale granite]

me remember 100% exploration the raining island without ever finishing the quest that lifts the rain

[lyric fossil]

Inazuman puzzles were challenging

[lyric fossil]

Why abuse them

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/792147187076694057/1164869225760960573/7.gif

[agile mica]

yeah but doesn't really work out nicely when you have more than 1 compass to manage and more than 1 electro aura things to manage as well

[proud tusk]

but personally that's not really my dislike about GI openworld
more so I'm just really bored of the formula

[agile mica]

and the e has a cooldown you'll eventually hit because you can't hold Beidou's e forever

[twin thistle]

Why don't u hold my hand forever

[summer fractal]

it is 710% rv

[agile mica]

but a lot of the exploration deals with the quest that removes the perma rain, no way you 100% without doing that first

maybe that was the last one you needed before 100%

[vale granite]

me 100% all inazuma islands and have not finished the quest lifting the rain

[agile mica]

because like Jack I'll be let go

[agile mica]

yeah that makes more sense

[vale granite]

omg

[proud tusk]

I always hope GI would do more interactive things in the openworld like this

[ember oasis]

at the start of the game, there was stuff like burning grass, exploding barrels, fall damage, and EC enemies in the water.
they lulled us into thinking they'll keep this relevant in the future, but they delibirately scaled these features back in high lvls, making them a tiny part of combat, which made me salty as well

in zelda approaching combat was creative

[solid dust]

Those explosive barrels aint doing shit to level 100 enemies.

[proud tusk]

I think it's probably their vision at the start to do something more with them
but later abandoned it for whatever reason they have

instead just focusing on the puzzle and chest hunting side
until Inazuma

[ember oasis]

it felt like that in 1.0, but now it's dead

abyss could've had interesting map layouts, but instead its just ⭕

[lyric fossil]

At least you get to see the iridescent moon in the background

I am 200% sure it is iridescent now

[ember oasis]

and hoyo showed they CAN DO IT.
natlan had a capture the flag event, it was actually cool

movement was PART of the challenge

abyss should have that

[solid dust]

Now you can do it yourself.. IN MILIASTRA WONDERLAND.
#ad

[twin thistle]

Abyss back then was way more interesting

Like the first floor 12 where the cryo aura fucks u up

[proud tusk]

likely cuz they realized making them as character mechanics are more profitable than just making them into openworld stuff

like imagine they expand on the idea of using elemental interactions in the regular openworld gameplay
like freezing water to get to a location and navigate a dungeon type stuff

now we have character that just walks on water like jesus

[ember oasis]

i'd rather shove AI slop down my eye holes

[solid dust]

Hell nah.. fuck slowing water

[twin thistle]

And the electro thingy that fucking drains ur energy

[proud tusk]

don't fight it Yuvak
this is the future of GI

i want to recreate 2fort in genshin lmao

If its close to unreal.. then shit would be easy to make.

[rocky rampart]

genshin players are too bad to have any interactive abyss

most of them cant do simple rots

[ember oasis]

interactive abyss wont have rotations

you will need to adapt

[rocky rampart]

u still need to fight enemies

and again, if they cant 1 2 3 4 e q in correct order

they wont do well in anything that requires more brainpower

it's for other aspects of the game
team building and rotation crafting

[proud tusk]

I need these gacha company to make a combat mode that is a legit real dungeon
instead of the usual stage to stage arena type shit

[ember oasis]

you remove interactive level design from the equation

[smoky lotus]

Someday

[limber heath]

you mean like in roguelike game?

[ember oasis]

[zzz 1.0 flashbacks]

[limber heath]

i don't think genshin combat fits that kinda gameplay

[smoky lotus]

It’s been 5 years, you’d think they’d be more creative by now

[ember oasis]

people liked the inazuma event for the most part

[limber heath]

i didn't

[proud tusk]

I think it would consider how grounded the gameplay is

[limber heath]

it was 50% running, 40% picking useless buff, and 10% one shotting enemies

[smoky lotus]

Which one? The paper flying pet one you get as a gift?

[ember oasis]

yea

[limber heath]

they tried, people didn't like it, so they stopped

[proud tusk]

wow
it's not like genshin already has this kinda asset which they can use right cough saurian cough

[smoky lotus]

Yea at least it was something different

[ember oasis]

back then i heard a lot of people in tcl kinda liked it, at least as a concept for something more fleshed out

[smoky lotus]

It had the potential

[rocky rampart]

terrain in abyss is another way to shill and antishill and thats it really

[limber heath]

because people who don't like it don't talk about it

[rocky rampart]

river makes pyro carries OP, burning grass makes melt teams shit

no difference in real combat, u just pick more shilled team

[proud tusk]

a real dungeon stage would be cool
where you have to figure out how to get to the final boss while also collect buffs and find mini boss to buff the character before they face off the final boss

they can even do tiles that shuffle every week or reset

but I can already imagine there will be people complaining it's too hard, too tedious, too long to complete

[plain portal]

I remember that event cause you get free cons from buffs in that

[lyric fossil]

Imaginarium concept

[plain portal]

Wonder why they didn't do free cons buff again

IT should get that buff

[ember oasis]

you know tcl well enough to know that when people don't like something, they talk about it when someone says they do

[smoky lotus]

And that lvl 15 talent buff lol

[ember oasis]

that was true back then as well

[limber heath]

not talking about tcl, just in general
majority of genshin players didn't care about it so they never brought back the event

the strategy: "use as bad of a team as chamber allows" "keep mandatory unit for solving boss X"

Oh
I hope it goes well for u

English was a bit cramped coz typing speed slow while i m not fucking around and thinking hard lol

[limber heath]

the way people complain about IT is the same way people complain about abyss or SO
is that they can't do it but refuse to learn how to do it
they only follow what other people tell them

That's another bullshit.. cause you either pick characters or buffs.. else get fucked.

[deep niche]

Ty ❤️ 🫂

[rocky rampart]

you can pick both lol

[lyric fossil]

Wait it was subjective paper ?

[rocky rampart]

i had no issue ever

[solid dust]

And some buffs dont even get good until lvl 4

[solid dust]

Not with the bare minimum points they give.

[ember oasis]

i never had issues with IT, but i also never had fun

[solid dust]

[rocky rampart]

then dont get bare minimum

[ember oasis]

[solid dust]

2 papers today 8 to 3 pm. 1st paper econ, mcq. 2nd paper subjective eng

[proud tusk]

what even happened to the new mode that gives skin that you cannot keep again ?

[agile mica]

IT purgatory vibes

[topaz bobcat]

Forgotten? 🥀

[agile mica]

or use Chasca on slopes

[smoky lotus]

Or maybe let people use more than 1 friend support character for example

[limber heath]

i have the most fun in IT of all 3 game modes

[lyric fossil]

That is tough
Hope you cleared both at high %tile

[topaz bobcat]

I mean the people who obtain it do use the skin, it's cool nonetheless. Nothing too hype that's all

[lyric fossil]

Nah people like it

[limber heath]

abyss is the least fun because there is nothing to do

[solid dust]

IT is probably my most hated endgame in gacha gaming. I have to play cause they lock 1k primo in it.

[topaz bobcat]

Chasca express is simply built different

[deep niche]

I m so hungry now i cud eat a... @twin thistle

[lyric fossil]

People play stygian to practice skill and host speedruns

[limber heath]

it was fun when i have people doing speedrun with but aside from that Abyss is just monthly primogem chest

https://tenor.com/view/horse-you-have-alerted-the-horse-alert-alert-horse-horse-alert-gif-10675569724654458517

[smoky lotus]

New mode when

[solid dust]

Stygian is fine. It doesn't lock primos in it.. skins are whatever.. considering they never added new skins

[agile mica]

true, I used her all around NK still, and highkey gonna be the same for Snez

[vale granite]

me like how IT lets me try a friends c6 char every month

c6 flins is so op

[lyric fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/el-condor-pasa-umamusume-mask-off-turn-around-turn-gif-3202483504109883076

[ember oasis]

i forgot about the weapon skins ngl

[agile mica]

I'm still waiting for the day IT allows you to use less than 4 chars

[limber heath]

SO is fun because i need to hyper optimise new rotation

[agile mica]

and more than 1 friend char

[topaz bobcat]

I don't have her 💔 maybe one day if they're generous enough to give a limited 5*

[vale granite]

me would have used varesa solo in earlier chambers if it allowed

https://tenor.com/view/varesa-genshin-genshin-impact-cow-cowgirl-gif-12189961289180321099

[limber heath]

IT fun because i need to think about which to choose between characters and buffs and which team for which
Abyss has nothing fun to play with

[agile mica]

hope you get her one day, even without her sig she's still plenty strong, and strong forever in exploration as long as they don't make upside down slopes 🔥

[agile mica]

hate it when I get the strongest char I have that I was saving after I cleared the first round

[solid dust]

The fact that they made IT even harder now.. with 2 more stages..i cant..this game is dogshit.

[limber heath]

no?

if anything it's easier

[solid dust]

Tf you mean

[limber heath]

only hard thing is getting enough characters

[solid dust]

Its literally 2 extra stages

[lyric fossil]

They made it easier to stack buffs early

[limber heath]

you have way more characters to pick from

[lyric fossil]

You can clear if you built most of your characters

[limber heath]

you don't even need them built

[lyric fossil]

Or your account has a good collection

[limber heath]

at best you slap bunch of ER on them

[topaz bobcat]

My friend who started recently is such a lucky mf, bro has been winning all his 50/50s and is soon going to catch up with me in terms of 5* characters

[lyric fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/satono-diamond-uma-musume-lick-licking-gif-1120995586170710369

[limber heath]

IT mostly care about reactions, you trigger them and the game will kill enemies for you

so bring character with good elemental app

[solid dust]

Not like you have any extra character when there were less stages to begin with. its the same members clearing the main stages. They dont add 3 element character every patch.

[topaz bobcat]

Well part of the reason is cause I've made some bad financial decisions on the weapon banner

[lyric fossil]

Me too

[vale granite]

has there been any op weapon banner since elegy homa

[limber heath]

i reach stage 10 with like 800 currency for rolling characters and buffs

didn't even need them

[vale granite]

me guess mavuika citlali weapon for me since wanted both

[solid dust]

Glad you have good characters.. not everyone is equal in gacha game brother.

[limber heath]

this is why i think most people are playing IT wrong

[solid dust]

[limber heath]

my characters don't even have artifacts

i wouldn't call them good

i beat the monolith defense stage with like, 3 useless characters and geo traveler

[topaz bobcat]

My lauma's still lvl 40 🧍‍♂️

[limber heath]

just place rocks and wait

[solid dust]

As long as you have that elements dps..like have 4 of them..you can bulldoze through any stages.. doesn't need 4 star.

[vale granite]

me remember i got a special message since i managed to buy out every available char in my theatre shop

but forgot what game said

[solid dust]

Not everyone got that 3 pyro dps in the same account. Unlike me..who pulls for all pyro. But i am dumb.

[topaz bobcat]

I wasn't familiar with your game 💔

[limber heath]

i think it's time i level her up, for Nefer

i haven't actually used her for anything

[ember oasis]

i don't care that its easier, it takes more time 😭

[limber heath]

it does

you get cool looking arcana though

idk what it does

[ember oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/eric-andre-let-me-out-gif-18252480

[ember oasis]

collector's item

literally nothing

[lyric fossil]

I ended up getting aqua

[vale granite]

my first limited pyro is mavuika

[ember oasis]

steam card sticker ahh mechanic

[vale granite]

mavuika op though so was worth

[limber heath]

maybe when we get full collection we will become Thanos

[ember oasis]

at least steam's worth 10 cents

[narrow current]

That's Laumaless behavior get her in your team.

[solid dust]

Cant even sell the dogshit

Nobody would buy this dogshit in the first place

[limber heath]

the only team i can actually use her for now is Nilou bloom, but when you are in NK you auto have Ascendant Gleam which is actually not good for Nilou team

so i just don't have any team to use Lauma in

i will use her when Nefer comes

[vale granite]

me only cleared this new abyss because me have lauma

[limber heath]

oh i used Lauma in abyss alright
just to trigger the mushroom to take crab down so i can shoot it with Clorinde

[deep niche]

Wtf

[topaz bobcat]

Trade for 1 thundering pulse and 1 tfgm

I've got 2 of those and no yoimiya or lyney in my account

[limber heath]

Lauma is also really good for the energy and health sucking vishap

[narrow current]

I look after my Lauma we're very good friends.

[limber heath]

she can remove the hydro shield

[undone heron]

this only happens to me if its hydro/anemo combos

if it geo/dendro/cryo im fighting for my life

[solid dust]

Not even level 10..

[lyric fossil]

Jokes on you i already have tfgm

[limber heath]

what stats does Lauma want again?

just EM and ER?

[deep niche]

Mavuika if she was peak

[lyric fossil]

I lost aqua to tfgm first

https://tenor.com/view/dog-crying-meme-doggo-crys-megan-soo-crying-dog-gif-5276199764143986284

[long pilot]

[vale granite]

mualani maybe already present in another furnishing set

[long pilot]

[vale granite]

[long pilot]

[lyric fossil]

I think you qualify for whale tho

[long pilot]

and if there's nothing go into your house and check your map

[vale granite]

don't u only need one r5 limited weapon to be whale here

me forgot requirements

[lyric fossil]

Would four star count ?

[long pilot]

Nah, just need like 70 5-stars or something.

[agile mica]

ain't a 5* C6 the requirement?

[topaz bobcat]

I've skipped flins and I don't think I'll get nefer either

[lyric fossil]

Wise choice
Flins aint allat at c0

But hes fun

He jumps and slams with his lengthy pole-arm

[narrow current]

Mualani wins cute weapon competition to be honest.

[agile mica]

I need Nefer, but I also need Escoffee

[topaz bobcat]

Yeaaaa I think after bina releases, skipping all these characters will come back to bite me

ok mini m*d

[long pilot]

I'm still not clear if Jahoda has a robot armor on her arm or a robot arm honestly.

[agile mica]

this looks like what skipping the entire anime for the final arc is lmaoo

4* Jahoda has robot armor/robot arm on her
5* Jahoda variant is a full cyborg

[mossy geode]

What the hell is happening in HSR beta

her right arm really looks robotic

durin's not a waifu

Durin is just 6-12 months later Alice support.

[topaz bobcat]

Bro's fate is already sealed?

[topaz bobcat]

To be fair we did have people exclaim how for both skirk and Mavuika, they had their support just 1 patch before, so they didn't get enough time to save and distribute pulls

[long pilot]

I guess. We'll see what Durin's full kit is, I just feel like he won't run at full power for like a long time.

All the Hexenzirkel units for now are 1.x pretty much?

[topaz bobcat]

So long as he's got an exploration passive.. I'm all good

[topaz bobcat]

I think so, yes

hsr and genshin have separate teams
