Yeah. I'm not a programmer, so I don't know much about how the AI works, but I do know that it uses a ton of images as reference to piece together it's 'original' art, and that's pretty unfair.

Man, what is wrong with game studios? Instead of hiring well trained devs, they keep hiring a bunch of inexperienced nut jobs and then gape their mouths when they find out the game is totally trash

"Do better."

boreal hedge
#

Besides, Even though I side with DanTDM, I think he could have worded it better. The concern is not that they are money minded, no. The concern is that those jerks are misadvertising their product while also trying to bring down another product. I don't get how that's legal?

# zealous crow "Do better."

I kind of don't want them to do better lol. At this point, I'm just hoping studios like Larian and From software completely surpass them.

In specific, those women who complain about 'sexualisation' of female characters and also those nut jobs who want fat and ugly woman representation. I've heard that the audience of Love and Deepspace for the most part do not actually have any problems with fanservice for men.

# pine thorn All net marble games

The worst thing about netmarble games is that they have solid animators and stuff...but they have game devs who have no common sense. They have good ideas in mind but go ahead and botch the gameplay few months after release. That's what frustrates me the most. They take good IPs and utterly destroy them

@magic wharf @lament prairie

If you wish to debate, continue it here.

lament prairie
magic wharf
#

good

lament prairie
#

i dont think engaging with someone calling stuff ive shown as accurate (the 500+ day rerun banners) fake and spamming chat any time other games are mentioned

#

even in proper comparisons to help new players understand

#

is a good idea

#

they have way too bad of a track record that its pretty clear they arent engaging in good faith

#

especially when i proved it and they went ''stop spamming'' as a response instead of ''oops, my bad''

#

textbook trolling

magic wharf
#

you're shitting on a game

#

stop misinterpreting stuff

#

i can find more of your proper comparisons

#

but to me it feels like you're just playing "tof is better" card

#

cuz none of your "imagine if fiona took 500+ days to rerun" can be applicable to genshin

lament prairie
#

so yes, applicable

magic wharf
#

cuz fiona in tof is not equal eula shenhe or ganyu in any way

#

although i do think neither of them are in meta rn fenrirkek

lament prairie
#

still not apologizing for calling what i said fake initially still i see too

#

so no point in talking further

#

if you cant even admit a basic thing like the 500+ day rerun banners existing after its linked to you

#

you even tried to say the characters were in standard after

#

just straight up making up stuff up

#

if you dont know how something actually is in other games dont just go fake

magic wharf
#

you don't need to do it

lament prairie
#

i was explaining to a new player key differences using a topic they already brought up

#

that being that the new player said the standard banner updating was different and that was a good thing

#

also you called the whole thing fake

#

and said the characters in genshin were on standard

#

stop spreading misinfo and calling accurate stuff fake

#

i dont get how you see zero issue with stuff taking 500+ days to rerun either, given the fomo pressure and the fact that long makes players consider if theyll ever even rerun

#

especially the first time it happens

lapis radish
#

grandpa why mommy and daddy fighting again ?

lament prairie
#

so for you to pretend they're on standard as a response to that

#

stop talking about stuff you clearly have 0 clue about

magic wharf
lament prairie
#

and you said fomo?

#

what fomo?

magic wharf
#

trust me, no one "fomoing" about either of those characters

lament prairie
#

as if its not even a real term

magic wharf
#

i said??

lament prairie
magic wharf
#

i asked you

lapis radish
#

@magic wharf

#

it about to

lament prairie
lapis radish
#

Chaos gonna happen

lament prairie
#

they only pull on stuff to make numbers go up

#

liking the story or personality of stuff never happens

magic wharf
lament prairie
#

especially in a game like genshin which has astronomical powercreep (im being sarcastic, it doesnt)

magic wharf
lament prairie
magic wharf
lament prairie
lament prairie
magic wharf
#

also, they probably about to put them on "all old characters from one region" banner

#

that useless one

lament prairie
#

if someone started playing a year and a half ago

#

that character literally never would have been up for them

#

and they'd have to potentially wait another year and a half

#

or longer

#

to get them

#

what part of this arent you understanding as fomo pressure

magic wharf
#

like... nahida

lament prairie
#

its not a technical issue

#

they can stop being jerks about it any time they want

lament prairie
magic wharf
#

i mean it only happened for mondstadt characters once

#

next is liyue banner

lament prairie
#

its not the first time theyve adjusted the banner and people said it would fix the rerun issue at all

#

5 years in you stop giving them unlimited credit

#

and just look at the actions theyve taken

magic wharf
lament prairie
#

its very clearly not a technical issue and something they could fix in a day if they wanted to

lament prairie
#

or people playing not since day 1

lament prairie
#

i really dont get why you feel the need to make up a ton of stuff about tof

magic wharf
#

all old characters banner happened only once, ~half a year ago

lament prairie
#

then do the reverse for everything else and act like other games have 0 issues

lament prairie
#

to the point you're pretending fomo literally doesnt exist

#

and not rerunning stuff for over a year and a half is ok

magic wharf
#

what fomo? it feels like we did a full circle again

lament prairie
#

and just keep making up stuff

#

like saying the ''never rerun'' characters (the 500+ day ones) were on standard

#

while calling people fake when they say about the banners and when proven wrong just spam then go ''stop spamming'' to evidence linked

#

idk why i bother trying to call this stuff out when you wont change and it's blatent trolling when you're even pretending stuff rerunning for a year and a half isnt fomo

magic wharf
lament prairie
#

well, i know why in this case, its because you kept interupting me trying to help new people and calling me fake

lament prairie
#

like you do any time people talk about tof in a positive manner

lament prairie
#

or call out stuff happening in other games

#

just totally derailing chat

#

the new player literally started the topic about standard banner in tof being different

magic wharf
lament prairie
#

but i try and help with comparisons/terms theyd understand given that context clue and oh surprise here's bard again trying to cause trouble as per usual

magic wharf
lament prairie
#

just search bard in top right

magic wharf
#

let me guess, you're about to dump some screenshots with out of context stuff and interpret it as people mad at me cuz i lied about tof or some shit? annaHmmbella

at least this time it was cc's

well that and not actually compensating people after promising they would (some still dont have it, others were)
jp has pretty strict data protection laws
they cant keep doing this kinda thing though like with the constant typos cant just meme about it and go silly kuro, they have like 400 staff now, its a big responsibility and a lot of money being thrown around
like that intern controversy before launch is likely still biting them in the foot

well, the lawsuits threatening to close it down are

#

so much important information is at severe risk

#

its part of why i try and backup as much stuff as i can, lot of stuff ive liked has gone away

#

even just music videos etc you wait a few years and half of them are gone

wont even let you see what the names of them were

I was tryna look up some obscure and even lost found media stuff and this appeared

lament prairie
#

worst part is this happened right when a lot of people were like 80% of the way through trying to archive the archive as a group project

#

which seems awfully bad timing

#

likely a state actor or something

#

obviously trying to download that many PB (yes, PB) of data is a long process

#

let alone archive it in a shareable manner

absolutely not a one person tssk

Anyone likes Total War? I made a video a long time ago of shogun 2, a cinematic battle 😃

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Hb5uGE4ZSLs&feature=shared

This was a random online mutiplayer battle that played out like a movie scene so j just had to make a cinematic of it.

I made this video a long time ago when I was new to video editing. I had a very basic computer so I couldn’t get many of the shots I wanted due to the low video card ram. I did what I could and put this together as a passion...

and for wuthering waves there was a ton of infighting over 1.3 story stuff for ww and people kept mass reporting and posting xenophobic stuff to people that disagreed with them even after mods intervened

#

its scary stuff cause like

#

ik its mostly the big cc's that cause these kinda issues but there's little a company can do to stop some of it

#

and sometimes like with the 90% ww cbt rewrite trying to pander to a fanbase that can be volatile can backfire very hard

#

although saying that wasnt really fully the case there

#

Ahhhh I love the smell of gacha gamer pains in the morning

lament prairie
#

cn did have some good points about beta

#

kuro just overcorrected and is now tripling down on tone

lone merlin

lament prairie
#

part of the reason the ww tone shift is kinda an issue in story though is

#

its kinda what snowbreak did and you can see how the stuff went on that

#

ik people have said some tof stuff is a snowbreak type shift but the first battle pass outfit was like that and optional fanservice stuff that hasnt bled over to story at all is really not the same thing

#

i really hope despite the huge cc interest in nte the fanbase remains (relatively) chill even when people move over

#

can't really have people mass reporting important feedback just as they disagree with it etc

#

not good for game health

#

its tof themed but given its mostly technical and about ue5 being used for the nemesis anime vid etc idk which channel to put it in

lone merlin
#

already toxic af

#

Stix as cc is jst an example of how things go for nte

#

part of why im glad nte has obvious persona inspirations

#

its a really good series although i prefer the non mainline ones

#

the shin megami tenseis etc

#

still, didnt think a non mainline one would sell so well so its a nice surprise

#

to the mass reporting thing i was talking about in wuthering waves

#

edited to make it a bit clearer

boreal hedge
#

Ah I see. They were creating drama over a story?

#

How come the wuthering waves fans act like this? I visited their sub reddit (I admit this was a long time ago) and all I saw were some hopeful Kuro fans from pgr enjoying wuwa content and chiding anyone that posted a comparison between gacha games. How come they're nice and wholesome on reddit but terrible to the company that codes their game for them?

lament prairie
#

its kinda extreme toxic positivity mostly

#

i mean people were getting angry at mods doing their job properly etc

#

but they were mass reporting anyone that disagreed with them etc

#

the first day was mostly people spamming peak and cinema with the one sk piano image

boreal hedge
#

If you don't mind explaining, what were they disagreeing about? The story not being up to the mark?

lament prairie
#

its more the disconnect between what was initially advertised and what they ended up getting

#

whether its bad or not is ofc subjective

boreal hedge
#

Oh I see

lament prairie
#

but in beta they did a 90% rewrite (yes, literally 90%)

#

to try and pander to some cn complaints

#

cn did have a few serious issues on top of some silly ones but

#

they overcorrected

#

Ahead of release, Kuro Games shared a developer update on YouTube about what it’d been doing in the six months after the first Wuthering Waves Closed Beta Test. At the time, the team spoke with ACG content creators Rexlent and Sandfish about the changes the team made, revealing that they'd revamped 90% of the original story.

Kuro Games reiterated the need for those changes in our interview.

“After the test in April last year, we noticed that players provided a lot of feedback on IP-related content, including character design and storylines. This feedback was the basis for our decision to make significant adjustments to the story,” the team said. “Compared to the previous story, the new story weakens the apocalyptic atmosphere and focuses more on the protagonist, the Rover, making it easier for players to immerse themselves in the game.”

#

and they keep tripling down on it

#

so it went from serious post apocolyptic stuff

#

to more fantasy manhwa powerscaling harem stuff with a lot of technobabble

#

which isnt bad in and of itself, i mean, that kinda stuff does super well in korea

boreal hedge
lament prairie
#

but people were promising closer to pgr or beta storytelling

#

for a few patches

boreal hedge
#

I mean, of course it's not bad

lament prairie
#

and instead its gone further into the tone change

#

1.4 is a yandere too so itll likely go even more like that, i dont think the people waiting around to see if story changes to be more serious and less mc oriented

#

will do that forever

boreal hedge
#

But in Asia, people enjoy escapism stories. They like upbeat and cheerful stories because they want to indulge in escapism, which makes sense since the work life balance is terrible.

lament prairie
#

for jp its mostly the two big player email leaks and misntranslated important character/weapon etc details

#

for cn its nationalistic stuff where they're claiming the story faults are somehow a meta commentary on the cn army

#

like, its totally not, its just a bit clumsily written to make the mc important so the army kinda has to be useless

boreal hedge
#

It's something new, isn't it?

lament prairie
#

its a spectrum

#

its like how pure powerscaling stuff like the characters having massive time powers in ww

#

isnt bad in isolation

#

and how full harem stuff isnt bad in isolation

boreal hedge
lament prairie
#

or how the wuxia/xianxia type techno/fantasy babble can make sense sometimes

#

when those things are in concerta and done in a rushed manner

#

and youve tied it a ton into all of the worldbuilding and made the mc important so any rushed details are near impossible to retcon as its so tied to everything else

#

its tricky to untangle, if they even wanted to, which theres been no indicator of

#

but it doesnt match the expectations the advertising and cc's have been giving

#

theres also some strange choices like having no exploration stuff that isnt marked on the map

#

the only thing in 1.0 was one chair up a mountain

#

people go oh but its combat focused but the lack of aerial combat and other stuff kinda makes that feel worse than tof to me

#

not to mention the giant rng echo grind

#

but ofc nearly all of this stuff is subjective

boreal hedge
#

In a sense, kuro is kind of going through what tof went through at launch, right? ToF was not a finished game by its release date but had to be rushed anyways

boreal hedge
#

I love exploration by default, but ToF has me ADDICTED to it. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing 😅

#

Even though I could run up walls in wuwa, I still felt that the game was going too slow

marsh halo
#

That's one of ToF's main selling points for me.
There's no game out there that has as much movement options as ToF imo

#

The traversal in ToF is just worlds apart from other games

boreal hedge
#

About story, as I've reiterated several times, I do not care. I've never cared really. If the boss battles are good...if the characters have amazing playstyles....if there are fun things to DO (not to listen to), then I will play the game.

boreal hedge
#

And it's also the only gacha game I've played where I care about the gacha system, because I feel like I can get any character I want without being forced to pull out my wallet

marsh halo
#

Yea I came from Genshin and it's insane how much of a difference there is...

When I played ToF on Day 1, you don't know how exhilarating it was for me just to be able to double jump + get a mount

#

And everything just got even more exciting in terms of traversal as time passed by

#

Getting Rubilia was a huge boost for me too.
It might not be actual flight but it's so spammable that it just didn't matter

boreal hedge
#

The double jump and phantasia mode was exhilarating to me too. I loved it

#

I was having so much fun. The puzzles were 50 50, but ultimately I didn't care. My eyes also went wide as to how much this game rewarded me. I climb up a hill? I get gold nucleus. I climb down it? More gold nucleus.

#

I also challenged myself to get over all the hills in Astra without climbing, and I was able to pull that off

lament prairie
#

internet connection had a blip

#

anyhow as i was saying combat focus too much isnt a good thing, stuff needs to stand out

#

part of why im looking forward to infinity nikki, mecha break and neverness

#

although mecha break isnt big on side content like the other two seem to be and will keep improving on

marsh halo
#

3 main points I so love in ToF that I can never get tired of is as follows:

  1. Weapon roster is so heckin diverse, we're getting literally everything. Just the fact that we're not locked in the boring defaults of Bow, Claymore, Catalyst, etc. Is already such a top notch thing for me

  2. Traversal is KING in this game! I can't think of another game that can compete (don't tell me spiderman 'cause that's just different)

  3. Customization and Fashion is end-game. Regardless of how wonky or goofy it may look sometimes,
    I always loved the fact that we can mish-mash aspects of different characters for our own MC.

Mc + Simulacra weapon
Or Simulacra + other Simulacra's weapon
(Recent example being Asurada's weapons looks so perfect for Saki Fuwa)

lament prairie
#

also somehow optimization keeps getting worse for a lot of people and its inconsistent on what hardware does it

#

maybe an anticheat issue

boreal hedge

#

I sometimes wish ToF would take more inspiration from popular anime to make their OCs. It would be so cool

lament prairie
#

and if you're going to make something live service

#

use that to build and expand on stuff

#

dont just stop adding/improvement permanent modes etc like a lot have

#

pgr didnt change up stuff a ton but it was small and the story was a lot better written, as were the designs etc

marsh halo
#

Admittedly so, ToF needs improvement in the designs department especially with how recently, they've only been designing with the key element of making sure there's as much skin they can expose

lament prairie
#

i played it for two years

marsh halo
#

The designs look so uninspired

lament prairie
#

but ww shows none of the kuro that i loved in pgr

lament prairie
boreal hedge
lament prairie
#

yeah its nice just looking around at them

#

well, not the best example

#

nte has a ton of non human properly anomlous ones

#

(not furry, i mean actually alien/supernatural looking etc)

boreal hedge
lament prairie
#

its also the only gacha ive seen with fat npc's walking around

#

helps with the immersion to have variety

#

when it rains some people dont mind

#

some cover their heads with their hands

#

and some have umbrellas

marsh halo
# lament prairie tbf nte seems to be starting with none of that

Which is why I like it. It's a good start but I still think their designs have much room for improvement

(Mint doesn't need that big of a bust. It's weird at this point, too much. But her overall design is already catchy to me.

Nanally is my fave so far.

The MC is the one I dislike the most currently

Sakiri is not that memorable

Hotori looks bland like just a Jiyu copypaste

And the others can be improved too

boreal hedge
lament prairie
#

they can keep stacking up the citysim elements too

lament prairie
#

i was more saying theres actually weird looking npcs and enemies compared to similar gachas

#

for zzz, as much as i like the story

marsh halo
lament prairie
#

its just random human henchmen and crystaline boring monsters with the occasional basic robot

I would love if NTE has ToF Easter eggs

#

Definitely would love it

lament prairie
#

look at the shirt there

#

it also says king

#

but in a very creative way

marsh halo
#

And on the possible copium that NTE takes place in the same universe as ToF but in the far future

#

I will love it

lapis radish
#

a few reference

#

that the best

#

maybe collab between 2 game

lament prairie
#

could be a successful time retracement that didnt use the dangerous tower of fantasy energy

lapis radish
#

but DOUBT

lament prairie
#

in the same kinda way as the original madoka anime

#

as in the very first one

#

where

lime epoch

lament prairie
#

||she recreates the world to not require the giant sacrifice eldritch horror thing but they kill monsters for energy instead||

marsh halo

If possible, the copium is that NTE is the FAR FUTURE one.

#

im mostly impressed by the building variety

#

usually in these kinda games you get the same few buildings over and over again

marsh halo
lament prairie
#

like i played through all of cyberpunk and

#

the transit stuff wasnt used

#

and the interiors of stuff didnt matter outside of missions

boreal hedge
lime epoch
lament prairie
#

but here it seems they've really built a solid foundation to work from

#

helps that its ue5 like nikki ofc

#

even cyberpunk2077 is moving to ue5

marsh halo
lament prairie
#

(used to be on a custom engine)

#

the sequel will be ue5

marsh halo
#

NTE could be the original world where we came from. Earth

#

And in that sense, ToF is the sequel

#

Imagine that lol

#

NTE is the newer game but it's the prequel

lament prairie
#

make sure to tag tof spoilers some people arent caught up

#

even if domain 9's last map is a

maiden tundra
#

if NTE is anything like mirroria it's a W already tbh

lament prairie
#

||space station pod from a colony ark with barely any survivors||

#

and the monsters are

||the actual original planet inhabitents likely corrupted by human experiments||

boreal hedge
lament prairie
#

need to be especially careful in 4.4

#

becuse the tof lore

#

gets very weird

marsh halo
#

Yes Mirroria goated

lament prairie
#

very very weird

marsh halo
#

Expanded Mirroria when

#

Pls

lament prairie
#

so try and avoid not spoiler tagging stuff

maiden tundra
lament prairie
maiden tundra
#

but yeah the biggest selling point for me would be mirroria expansion

#

with catgirls

lament prairie
#

to show its getting weird without getting into detail

#

like i dont even want to post spoiler tagged stuff as

boreal hedge
lament prairie
#

i know some people here have seen the crazy 4.4 stuff and arent good about remembering to respond in spoiler tags

#

lol

#

its very possible to add stuff in a game like nte in a way that benefits the player while expanding the world too

#

like new car's they add for npc's can also be player ones

#

if you do it right a bunch of small changes interconnected go a long way

#

i wouldnt be surprised if the side content ended up more extensive than the combat stuff eventually

#

racing games are pretty popular on phones but

#

the open world of them is usually pretty limited

boreal hedge
lament prairie
#

the stuff they're adding for the open world gacha etc stuff

lime epoch
lament prairie
#

go a lot of the way towards selling the racing elements or similar

#

they could even put the racing stuff in the supernatural maps with appropriate stage hazards etc
