I'm really not sure where to begin with this one, so I'm just going to lay it out and then try to explain later: A recent update to Zenless Zone Zero made it impossible to get a good look at character's asses, and the blowback was so fierce developer MiHoYo reverted the change less than a day later.

It feels very scummy to draw in a shit ton of players with some of the most sexualized characters ever with massive assets, then to conform to whatever order they knew they were gonna have to do only now that the most hyped up character for the game is finally out

Frankly, that user is right. They're not selling the gameplay or the lore, it's a gratuitous T&A game and they sell it as such.

Have you played the game? It's actually quite shit.

The art and style are awesome even some of the music is pretty great. Gameplay wise you press a button a watch a cutscenes basically. It might get more interesting later on but I couldn't slog through it.

Wdym you press a button and watch cutscenes? The combat is pretty fun, especially the end game bosses. It's a story heavy game with gacha mechanics. Not really sure how that qualifies as just pressing a button

"Story heavy" isn't really what I would call it. The story is pretty mediocre with events that are all happy-go-lucky minigames. Limbus is story heavy, this isn't.

And the gameplay is really repetitive, especially in the late game, which suffers the same lack of content as all miHoyo games.

All the combat cut scenes. I don't want to watch the same attack with a different enemy ten times everytime I play. Shit is boring and a waste of my battery, attention and most of all time.

If you enjoy it good for you. But slop like this is what made reactions like the article talks about.

TBH, I agree with you. I like Genshin but can't really get into ZZZ.

Part of it is that I dislike the "hollow" framing device-- it smells like the crummy isekai-to-a-MMORPG trope, and abandons the idea of "vast world to explore", but it also feels like the combat isn't as rich in general. The characters have different movesets but it doesn't feel like it makes much difference in gameplay

Do you mean the ultimate ability animations? They're like 2 seconds long and only happen a few times per fight

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah probably. I didn't want to play the same 2 second video twice every flight that's boring af
