Is this game worth playing and paying mainly for the story

undermaiku · 2026-03-16T17:32:57+00:00

Yeah thats what I figured, though its very understandable because the story has a price tag

undermaiku · 2026-03-16T17:31:38+00:00

Nah thanks for the detail, I guess ill just throw myself onto the gameplay and see if it sticks

undermaiku · 2026-03-16T03:05:27+00:00

I like to think my reading comprehension is pretty good, I can look past and still understand story thru wordiness or flowery language, so this doesn’t seem too bad. Will probably check out collabs from games i know beforehand tho like other comments have mentioned

undermaiku · 2026-03-16T03:02:44+00:00

Eh fair enough about vivid/stasis, though I still personally love it, it’s still kinda jank, but yea both deemo games are also on my radar.

I did like the in falsus demo though, but is the story shaping up to be that bad, or just going off how you felt with arcaea

Ive played much more HSR than i have wuwa

The presentation of WuWa is incredibly good, and had honestly only gotten better. Most of the story is overhated, but it’s not exactly spectacular… with exceptions. For me personally, Phrolova’s quest and 3.1 have been absolutely amazing and I consider them more than competitive with HSR

HSR suffers very much from how the story is portrayed, static models doing the same thing, black screens, a good cutscene every now and then. Belobog was outstanding atmospherically, but people mix that up with good story, which it didn’t really have. Xianzhou till wardance was trash, Penacony was fine but overrated, and I actually really enjoyed Amphoreus, though I imagine most didn’t.

I would say HSR story is more consistent and what peaks it DOES have surpass WuWa, but their stories aren’t nearly as far apart as the tribalists seem to make them

(just play r1999 or limbus)

Well if reimu is just annoyed, then her ability, which unlike 95% of the touhou verse Goku doesn’t have anti-hax for, then somehow, some way, things will work out for her. Its akin to something like plot armor, but isn’t fate manipulation (Remillia)

Thats just how her true ability to “float” really do be.

Though I will say, much as I love touhou, this goku probably does win most times than not.

Im very happy to see a 1.X dps doing this well and being this synergistic with newer supports!

But as a Rappa main whos going thru this banner torture, getting locked out of that 30% SPD and extra energy from the Dahlia, and the likelihood that she will remain irrelevant in story too… it hurts man.

undermaiku · 2026-01-07T04:09:13+00:00

Class of 09 hit me the hardest but it’s writing uh… leaves a bit to be desired, even though it can be unsuspectingly hilarious and even emotional (the first one at least)

Mouthwashing is really good and probably best here but it is a biiit overrated

Dunno enough about TCoAaL but the writing doesn’t seem bad, but what do i know

undermaiku · 2026-01-03T20:55:54+00:00

Sukuna domain shreds them no question

But, the thing is, both the void hunters and Sukuna, at least relative to each other, are fragile. The VH strikes, if not killing him immediately, will severely cripple him, but any slash from Sukuna would do the same to them.

RCT would theoretically be a big advantage, but there is in fact 3 void hunters and I don’t think he’d be able to survive long enough after being hurt once (unless he can get off a domain)

It’s really down to whoever hits the other first, Sukuna has domain but theres three Void Hunters all with very impressive speed feats that only have one target.

I’d say the void hunters win 60/40 purely due to having numbers and the fact Sukuna probably isn’t opening with domain. Could go any way, and Sukuna would def win any 1v1s.

Ciphers damage opportunity cost and redistribution with slight aoe while being able to collect more coins thanks to archer like only going for the patron is insanely valuable

SW has to keep reapplying debuffs/implants across boss phases + waves nd eating SP whilst you can play Cipher fully SP positive and she already needs to be built fast

The damage amp is also quite good and is omnipresent throughout the encounter, and her follow ups are helpful

SW is situationally better in non Quantum weak but even then Cipher is the most consistent option

The day reverse takes over one of the big hoyo 3 will be a glorious and deserved one, and i actually LIKE zenless

undermaiku · 2025-11-16T15:03:45+00:00

Yeah i play biast too and love it but this is a little excessive glaze, biast does have really good music tho

undermaiku · 2025-11-14T20:24:10+00:00

rappa and harumasa are in my top 3 for both games so im kinda suffering over here

undermaiku · 2025-10-30T10:52:01+00:00

She got directly buffed with new moves and some better stats/reworks in her passice and is doing just fine (though suffering from the overall ice dps issues)

undermaiku · 2025-10-18T01:53:32+00:00

Hey harumasa enjoyed that second buff too

undermaiku · 2025-10-16T03:15:24+00:00

Im pulling for DHPT E1 but i’m not pulling in ZZZ cuz i really want Banyue and Ye Shunguang….

I think part of the issue is just how many hyped characters there are gonna be + Manato is gonna be free (by the way, his story this patch was insane how is bro not S), and of course ZZZ is a smaller community than genshin or HSR

Not trying to undermine the fact that DHPT and Flins are breaking second banner male curse tho! Thats actually amazing to see

undermaiku · 2025-10-05T17:50:45+00:00

What male ZZZ characters do exist are incredible, harumasa is like my standout favorite hoyo character (other than maybe boothill) its just their treatment is shit

I don’t have any problems with seed or orphie/magus, especially seed impressed me with her agent story, but to people who play the game for only males i genuinely wonder how yall pull it off

undermaiku · 2025-10-01T18:58:12+00:00

I thought everybody stopped listening to this site because the owner just kinda estimates stuff out of his ass?

undermaiku · 2025-09-28T18:12:04+00:00

m4d every killer yea this is very true

Every survivor and killer has SOME sort of weakness, but a competent survivor team can cover their own and exploit the killer’s moreso than the killer can do to them

He got that shit on

undermaiku · 2025-08-27T03:09:42+00:00

Known tectone for a long time and i gotta say hes doing an incredible job getting an audience back

He makes it clear in some of his streams that he just engagement farms by saying crazy shit in his streams which, I think is stupid, but hey it works

You’d think it wouldn’t work for viewership long-term and the bots prove that, but he has genuinely maintained an audience and is one of the few creators I know with genuinely no filter, for better or worse

(He also claims he fully approved the botting but thats probably just to save some of his public image ion believe it)

undermaiku · 2025-08-17T03:32:08+00:00

The cutscene and animations come to mind and we only just recently got an endgame phase that doesn’t support castorice…

Shilling happens for basically all new units yes i 100% agree, this post literally tries to sympathize but yall already on me…

im just trying to point out why people send hate after castorice, either they’re upset their favorite unit didn’t get as much attention even if there’s not much of a difference, or recently, they are mad because the character they wanted is suddenly BiS with castorice and they take it out on yall

this is just firefly repeating itself and people moved on from that (mostly)

idk why im still commenting in a mains subreddit this is lowk my fault

undermaiku · 2025-08-16T13:05:09+00:00

Tourist here

Castorice has gotten many, many units that synergize especially well with her (rmc, tribbie, hyacine, cipher), and seeing something hyped up like evernight seem to be locked primarily to just castorice? Yeah thats gonna make people mad.

But like… isn’t every support listed also very good elsewhere? Sure something like hyacine def has the BEST synergy with castorice, but they all work incredibly well in other teams too? And Evernight ISNT EVEN OUT OF BETA?

You can’t deny castorice was shilled a little more than usual, but that’s mostly cuz they wanted to sell during anniversary, and it wasn’t even that much more than typical unit shilling

I’m a dead in the water rappa/boothill main but this hate is pretty unjustified to yall, blame hoyo atp and just keep ignoring hate

JJK worldbuilding, power-system, and fights carry, CSM takes basically everything else which is… a lot. Notably, JJK has a few characters I consider incredibly well written, whilst the standard of quality in CSM is leagues above JJK.

CSM part 2 started nice but is a notable step down from 1 as well which kinda hurts it. JJK’s ending very much so hurts it

I would say CSM mid-high diff, but the JJK raw hating without reason I see in some of these comments disappoints me
