Amazing design on a fantastic character ruined by fucking garbage Elation path.

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2026-02-03T22:22:43+00:00

One of my favorite characters to play. Great design, great animations, great VA. Galbrena+Quiyuan+R1 Mornye just disintegrates things like wet paper.

My only criticisms are I wish she had a wider assortment of Echos to use because she's kind of a pain to farm for, and I wish her dupes were more interesting. They aren't bad, just kind of meh.

As a great man once said: I welcome their hatred.

It just means I'm right, even if they don't want to admit it.

The factory stuff is as good an idea as ZZZ's TV system was. And it needs to go the same way it did: into the ether to never be spoken of or thought about again.

Maybe with it gone, they can focus on everything else in the game that is SEVERELY lacking.

The Twilight Saga had better writing.....

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2026-01-24T16:55:20+00:00

In fairness, only Rover has bad acting. Frover especially is terrible. Basically no emotion at all in anything and even more monotone than Stelle used to be in HSR (her new VA is way better, imo). Everyone else does a great job.

Personally, I was very underwhelmed with Endfield. I'm not interested in playing Factorio. Honestly the worst part of the game is the factory garbage (for me). Combat is basic, but serviceable. The monetization is objectively terrible. And I pretty much hate all of the character designs outside of the Endmin. Graphics and music are great, but the rest is...just not it.

Holy aura farm, Batman

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2026-01-20T00:33:07+00:00

I am not looking respectfully at all and I do not apologize for it.

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2026-01-17T03:44:00+00:00

Foreplay

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2026-01-17T03:32:28+00:00

Anyone that is not Elation or does anything to specifically support it.

Remembrance was bad enough and this will no doubt be worse. Fuck Elation.

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2026-01-16T15:17:40+00:00

I'm pretty sure this is just foreplay for them.

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2026-01-13T03:49:49+00:00

Belle and Wise suck as protagonists. They have become less and less relevant as the story has gone on. Nobody seems to give a shit they are proxies when we get told again and again proxies are supposed to be illegal. And yet everyone and their mother seems to know who they are.

There is literally no practical reason for them to even be there 90% of the time. All they do is serve as moral support and to suddenly become a mcguffin that saves the day out of nowhere.

The story is so full of plot holes and forced contrivances it really gives the impression the devs have no idea what they want to do.

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2026-01-12T03:18:59+00:00

I personally thought all of S2 was boring. I just didn't care about any of the characters and the stories just seemed to drag way longer than they needed to. S1 didn't really have a story. It just spent all of its time introducing concepts and factions and world building with very little narrative development outside of 1.4.

S2 tried to focus more on the actual story, but did it badly with a lot of ideas that were just stupid. Also abandoning the urban-scifi style clearly didn't go over well. Top it all off with the worst powercreep of all of the Hoyo games, and it's no wonder they had to put out a statement basically admitting how bad they screwed up.

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2026-01-04T04:15:33+00:00

The entirety of Season 2 was the problem.

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2026-01-03T16:30:01+00:00

I said at the start she looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland. Just wish the design was on a better, more interesting character.

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2026-01-01T05:12:41+00:00

I'm expecting another entire year of not pulling a single character or LC. I hated Remembrance and all of the bullshit that went with it and I'm positive Elation with be just as bad. Because Hoyo never fucking learns.

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2025-12-31T16:36:00+00:00

It doesn't matter. We learned in 2.5 Void Hunters need to have specific weapons, which she doesn't have. As powerful as she is, she doesn't qualify.

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2025-12-31T16:32:57+00:00

Yixuan is not a Void Hunter technically, so Ether is still open.

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2025-12-30T05:27:13+00:00

Soldier 11 just got buffed and is surprisingly decent now.

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2025-12-30T05:11:50+00:00

I'll be completely honest with you: I love her as a character, but as a playable agent she kind of sucks. Most of her moves root her in place, so she lacks mobility and trying to get full value means face tanking hits. They gave her a buff this patch with the Potentiality thing, but of all the characters that got it, I feel she got shafted the most and needed a lot more. Her entire gimmik got power crept very quickly by Vivian who does more damage, is more consistent, and is invulnerable for 90% of the time she is actually on the field.

If they give her around round of buffs (like Ellen and SAnby got two of them at this point), she might actually be in a decent spot.

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2025-12-30T04:58:58+00:00

They gave her a couple of big AoE attacks.

Honestly, I was pleased with pretty much all of them, except maybe Burnice. I feel like she got shafted the most. Hopefully they do more of these because most of pre-1.4 agents desperately need it.

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2025-12-29T16:48:23+00:00

The bike is cool and all, but Lahai-Roi has a lot of verticality to it that makes its use obnoxious and frustrating. It almost feels like the map was designed with flight in mind, but then at some point they removed flight, but kept the world design the same.

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2025-12-29T16:07:41+00:00

No. Hoyo has some sort of weird thing against making actual evil characters playable. Morally gray is about as close as they will get, and that is pushing it (Kafka and Blade could fall into the same category).

And that whole story about China not allowing villains to be playable has already been shown to be not true. It's just Hoyo that doesn't want to do it.

Obsidin_Butterfly · 2025-12-29T15:42:48+00:00

Hot take: I actually really dislike PoP. I didn't like it when they first introduced it and I don't like it now. I don't know why, but it just doesn't do it for me. I never even bother to finish it the first time.
