The summoning of the new heroine was carried out simultaneously with the rerun Dr. Ratio.
At the very end of March Guardian of the Shores (Rectifier, Spetro). By the end of the month, the popular Zani (gloves, Spectro), for which many people had been saving up spins, became playable, and a banner with five event characters was added in honor of the first anniversary. All this allowed the game to properly compete with the two brainchildren of HoYoverse.
В blacksmith Shilonen. The Bard of Mondstadt is now mainly taken only by fans of the hero himself or for the sake of the Archon collection, and the powerful Geo did not bring enough money for proper competition.
В Jane Doe rats. New Madoka Magica Magia Exedra was released on March 26 and, despite being inaccessible to the masses of fans due to regional restrictions, it still managed to rise above Infinity Nikki,

with such a fierce heating of the goyim 100kk for xsra even looks like a failure
Solon (the main guy at Kuro Games) is great
Not only did he show excellent work on the mistakes, but also hashbendo material irl :3
The developers of XSR deserve it. They invested well and worked hard to earn money. They also used the right strategies to the player and smart moves. The developers generously fed the players, and the players in return - the developers.
In ZZZ, despite the opinion of many, everything is pretty great. It may show that not everything is cool there, but let's that the game is still young and its audience is MUCH smaller than Genshin's. In the first year, XSR was also on par with Genshin, and then it grew. The Zenles developers are not the stupidest guys and they work very well on their game. On par with the StarRail developers. Well done.
Genshin is deservedly buried underground. No, I did not hate Natlan. The characters from this region and the location itself were very much to my liking. But the plot, the attitude towards players and the stinginess of the Genshin developers really ruin the game. It is painful to look at the number of spins per patch. And they simply began to try less on the game. It feels like the budget for one patch in HSR and ZZZ is twice or even three times larger than in Genshin. The development is useless. Everything is done on templates, and outdated and boring ones at that. The game does not improve in quality, but stands still. In ZZZ and HSR, each patch has some tangible improvements and innovations, based on player . Everything is done for people. In Genshin, the maximum they will copy is a couple of these long-awaited improvements from ZZZ and HSR, which Genshin players have been asking for FOR YEARS. Perhaps Nordkrai will somehow correct the situation, but it seems to me that until Snezhnaya in Genshin, with such an attitude of the developers, everything will only get worse and worse.
I play all 3 MiHoyo games and love them all, but I can say that they love ZZZ the most. It's obvious how much they invest in absolutely everything. And regarding Honkai's revenue now, it's all decided by the character that comes out in the patch. Kastas was made as a good girl for sale, so that absolutely everyone would spin her, so she sold out. Faenon and the others won't be spinned like that, because they are not as "cute" as Kastas.
Genshin and Z deservedly fall down in the list, the developers simply forgot about the games, churning out wrappers. Let's see Z 2.0 and Genshin "Nord", whether the work on the errors will be done or not.
Just now I noticed that Battle Cats is in the rating! Well done guys, the project is good, the best thing to play when you're bored. But, of course, it was more interesting to play when I was younger, now I don't have so much time for grinding.
In this regard, Gash is better for me - you once every couple of days, farm events and log out (60 gems a day is not worth logging in for me).
The only thing that can save Genshin from degradation is a qualitatively new level in the Nord Edge and Snowy. So that it would be a meaningful plot with factions, the disclosure of Varka, the harbingers, so that they would about the main quest of the traveler. And not just another graphomania for 2 hours of text from Neurka with a 2nd repetition of some phrases from Paimon (as for downs).
Do something about the god-pissed artifact scam system, because it's a relic of the past (in the same ZZZ, a set with average stats that can take out Shiyu with their left heel is farmed in a week). Genshin is strangling for half a year.
If the developers screw up again, push them into a ditch so they can get $12 million. But something tells me that the tame whales will them until old age, even with such a careless attitude, alas.
*comment deleted*
Yeah, in a week. Ayaka 5 MONTHS, 5 Karl, daily draining of resin for the sake of not even top stats. Zaidina this Akasha or whatever it is, look at how many owners of normal artifacts, yes, 2% of people have them. 70% go with protection in the sub-scripts. There are losers in Genshin, I myself know one who knocked out in a week, what people hammer for months. But this is the cannibalistic essence of the randomness of Genshin, the spread is monstrous. I personally know a guy who Raiden wore for 8 months to balance crits. But the mass player does not get everything in a week. The funniest thing is why break your ass in Genshin? For 1 spin from the 12th floor, there is no normal endgame. At the same time, the artifact system is monstrously scammy.
And the game doesn't need an endgame, it lives fine without it. I collect everything by artifacts in a week, and not only me, but 99% of the players, and what you say about the fictitious 5 or 8 months is complete nonsense.
yeah, that's crazy. Personally, I've been collecting Harlequin since February and the stats just don't want to balance, some of them go to defense or where they shouldn't. If you're lucky, then rejoice and sit quietly. And by the way, it's already May, i.e. 3 months have ed. In a week, I can collect a maximum of half a set with 50/140 crits and 120 recovery.
I agree, I also like when artifacts drop. There was a week of free resin for artifacts. I went to artifacts on Mavu and Shiloh, in one dungeon. I went for 5-6 days. 3-5 visits per day. What's the point of talking, I didn't get anything worthwhile on Shiloh, only on Mavuika somehow, for the first time in more than 1,5 years of chilling game (I don't give a damn about artifacts), I was lucky that artifacts were pumped up so much that crits are 60/120. First time in the game!!! The most I got for crit before this was 55 ksh.
So I consider the stories about good arts of the week to be tales or highly embellished truths.
I don't know what you're collecting there, blanks with just the top matching? With 30 to 120 crits? )). So that you can then offend healers around the world? If that's the case, I can get them in an evening.
If they were made up, I would f***ing waste my time in this snake pit for MONTHS, just so that a blind loser could tell me "everything is assembled in a week" :D. If the casino gave you normal art, it doesn't mean that the game gives everything to everyone on a platter. Or you generally collect shitty assemblies, just to seem like.
*comment deleted*
Well, just like Aventurine of the real world, with such luck you should be a millionaire in 2 visits to the casino. And what does it have to do with a "CIS" or a European or an Asian? Does this change the drop chances? Or is there nothing else to say? I see that you have problems with your head and there is no point in hoping for an adequate dialogue.
I agree with Baldurtz. ., what kind of nationalism is this? If you think your nation is better than another, history has shown more than once that this is a bad point of view...
Yeah, tell that to my Raiden, Xiangling and Xingqiu, who I got all in the first six months of the game, who still have 4 level arts hanging because they don't have any with normal stats, and it's a shame to pump bad ones. I went to the emblem very often, no way. In the end, I spat.
>>>And in zzz the most scammy disk system is that it’s hard to get normal stats.
That's probably why Miyabi was dressed in the recommended 70% of KS during the evening of farming (on the day of release) of accumulated cans. Lucy, Piper, Yanagi, Sokaku, Bernice, Astra. Everyone is dressed to the nines, in half a year I have dressed 4 times more ZZZ characters than in Genshin in 2 years.
The only salvation for those who, like me, are strangled by randomness for months is bottles. But the developers even screwed this up, 1 craft in 40 days. And you need 4 bottles, for the sake of the unfortunate two-stater. If they had given a guaranteed receipt of at least 1 normal artifact per month, that would have been great. But they are blind and deaf, because whales buy constellations and roll their faces on the keyboard. And since everyone in China is happy, that means there are no problems.

Why are you so sick of the "SNGshniks"? Do you have problems with your head?
The was blocked for insults and swearing.
Vuva is a great example of how developers, having had a terrible start, did not lose their heads, worked on the mistakes, provided to the audience and kept the sinking ship afloat.
HSR is a well-deserved triumph of the main project of Hoyo. Today or tomorrow I think we can already expect an announcement about the announcement of Gashenka and ZZZ - nothing more than just worlds of Honkai.
Infinity Nikki, in principle, can already be dug a grave - instead of the usual update in patch 1.5, they rolled out literally another game, and simply broke everything. Players are already calling it "Infinity bugs". The game now feels not just like a beta, but even like an alpha version.
Right now, the most attention is being drawn to Gundam, which has had a good start, but what the future holds for this frankly rotten title is the question.
Thanks so much for the article!
It has long been said about Genshin that he is part of the honkai multiverse, and he has already appeared briefly in XI3. All that remains is to wait for confirmation within Genshin himself.
Oh, it's happened already? Wow. Ehehe, maybe they don't announce it in the gashn itself, so as not to upset the Genshinyats, otherwise they'll start milking them with sour milk
*comment deleted*
Yeah, and you first of all
*comment deleted*
The word CIS makes you angry, and I just threw a response for fun, I love it when people like you get their bottom ripped off. Then don't speak CIS languages, don't embarrass yourself
Thank you for your nice review with:
I didn't feel a "sinking ship" since the release, the developers are only guilty of being focused on the Chinese market, and because of this they don't care about ing different languages, especially Russian
So, Natlan is destroying Genshin?
It is being ruined by the developers' unwillingness to solve problems and greed (they stubbornly refuse to reduce the level of scam in artifacts). Unwillingness to develop the endgame.
Well, there were no significant banners, the Shilo rerun was not a very good time, since people are saving up for Nord Krai/Nescafe.
There are a lot of factors besides Natlan, no plot development, very little info for 5 years of the game, meetings with Dainsleif practically do not move the plot in recent years, more and more secrets are added, but there is no logical continuation and completion of some parts of the story (in Fontaine, what is a lot of info about Caterpillar, a cycle of stories about Narcissencreutz, you can drown in a lot of text there - a region of water, after all), and in of game content there is nothing special, except for the abyss and the theater that appeared after 4 years of the game, even meetings with characters have disappeared, which at least somehow introduced the characters, maybe they are boring, but they immersed you in the game a little more, a long absence of farm optimization, dailies, in-game collaborations even, well, in general, you can still look. It is clear that you can't please everyone, but the game stopped developing a long time ago and here is a visual effect, you can argue a lot, but facts are facts ...
Is this how everyone in XSR got baited for the dragon and the global ive? If players are buying into it, it's only going to get worse!
Yes, because everyone is spinning a character for the sake of useless ives, and not because they like him.
I don't give a damn about the ive. But the little dragon, that was a great reason. I love little dragons.
What does your ive have to do with it (useless garbage, just panic out of nowhere). There was a donation event where you had to buy 24k entities and get a lot of free stuff in the form of 1 token for the character store, 1 leg cone. And there was also a reset of x2 packs. They rolled out reruns of Acheron and Fox. I immediately took all the packs and FoxE1S1 (there was none before) and Acheron in of damage just flew into space, she really returned to the meta with it. Well, consider that so many people threw 14-15 thousand per snout into the packs. That's why so many came out. Someone might not have spun anything at all, but bought the packs so as not to miss out on the free stuff (and save up for Phaenon, for example)
to the banner Raiden)
It's even more shameful for Vuve not to have localization. What is the money spent on?
wuva is okay, they don't do Russian there on principle, for all the known reasons, but in honkai even for English voice acting it's a pity to spend money on the main characters in the MAIN plot, which is usually voiced everywhere, despite the fact that I like the game, this is a big blow to the fan base
English voice acting is not important to me, I listen to Japanese, it is more melodic. And about Vuva I was talking specifically about text localization. Still, this is a big omission, compared to Hoyo games, which have three games translated into Russian.
There is no voice acting because of the actors' strike, not because of funding🤔 I play in Japanese and everything is fine.
Bro, at least figure out why there is no English voice acting, and then write that they are stingy with the money. And Honkai was lucky, there are only a couple of characters not voiced. When in Genshin most of them are not voiced. And ZZZ also has problems. But, probably, the developers just can't pay the actors, yeah 🙏 What kind of bubble do you have to live in to think like that?
so they can't hire others, use AI or come up with something else? well, for what reason can't such a rich company do this? are they really that slow-witted that they can't replace the voice actors, and don't they understand that without this voice acting the main plot suffers greatly, okay himeko, although she is also very important, but danhen, this is really a mourning
And what is the probability that the hired others will not engage in promoting the same strike? And even more so, changing such a large part of the working group, well, that's not a good decision.. Let's wait and see what happens next😏
By this logic, you can do nothing at all. Why hire an employee if there is a chance that he will quit of his own free will? "If you are afraid of wolves, don't go into the forest."
Good point, but it's a bit out of place here, since the entire voice acting will have to be redone, so why waste human and financial resources like that.. Especially since people who don't go against this strike are being bullied, so there's a chance of losing workers again. Maybe Hoy will eventually find a way out of this situation, but for now the Chinese market brings in the most money, they'll remain neutral as they do now.. And yet I'm not an analyst, this is my simple opinion 😌
Right. But this is the developer's position, not the player's. Now I'll rephrase: "The costs of finding new actors will be greater than the profits, so you guys, play without voice acting, why should we spend money on you?" And how should players react to something like this? When they are told that "you are a cost, eat what you are given, we want to save on you, but being a cost, don't forget to put the gem pack on max in each of our games!" Maybe I should thank them for this? This position does not justify them at all. Everything again ultimately comes down to money.
I don't want to surprise you, but it all comes down to "money", it's one of the best social forms of interaction. And I'll say it again, there's no point in re-voicing everything, it's throwing money down the drain in the end, especially since it's not just GI that suffers, there's also HSR and Zzz. The game is available to you, the content is updated, the players are happy. And I've always wondered why the one-sided accusation, they didn't remove the voice acting on purpose, so maybe the righteous anger should be directed at the actors' guild, they stirred it up and don't let others voice it. A pointless dispute, we don't know the documents on the claim, there's most likely a wider problem if they can't solve it for almost a year..🤔
1) Maybe they can, but it's a huge job. Dan Heng/Himeko/MC have 2 years of content behind them. You can't just re-voice everything at once. Not to mention that the fans won't be happy.
2) Bro, strikes are literally being used so that AI isn't used for voice acting. If they actually decide to use AI, then firstly the strikes will get worse, ultimately making the striking alliance right; secondly, AI voice acting is just disgusting, and I'd rather play without voice acting than with it.
3) Something else? For example?
4) "The Rich Firm". Who? The Hoyovers? They don't hire the actors.
The main joke is that Vuva released a separate PC client for Steam, but again did not add the localization text. They even offered the guys who make the fan Russifier to give away their already proofread text for free. The developers turn up their noses, and they are also trying to block the Russifier with anti-cheat tools, so that this does not happen. This is a real pig.
And still, such pennies are not enough to make normal voice acting (for half a year now, a third of the characters have no voice acting in eng) 😉
What game are you talking about? Vuva?
About HSR, this month's champion)
P.S. No, I can understand: the company is small, there is not enough money. Capitalization of some pathetic 25 yards of American paper. And anyway, there is no time for this, because the main activity is anime and music)
In my opinion, there was no voice acting due to the strike of English actors, and Hoyo's unwillingness to bother with other people's rights.
What does this have to do with their earnings if the strikes are not about salaries? Besides, Hoyo themselves are not responsible for the voice acting. They hire studios, and they are responsible for the voice acting.
This can be solved in an elementary way, like with the voice acting of Hoho and Argenti. They would have completely re-voiced it a long time ago, and the strikers can go to hell and sue for years. But they are just saving pennies, not wanting to get involved.
Sorry, but there's a huge difference between re-voicing side characters that were encountered in 1 quest (2 in Hoho's case) or re-voicing Dan Heng/Himeko/MC, who are central characters and have 2 years of content behind them. Not only is it a huge amount of work, it's also a slap in the face for the company. If everything were so easy to solve, strikes wouldn't exist in principle.
Money conquers evil)
What you're talking about is simply a question of costs. As soon as the Hoevers decide that the reputational and financial losses from the lack of voice acting outweigh those from changing the contractor, the issue will be resolved instantly) It's already moving slowly: all the new characters have been voiced, some of the old ones are being re-voiced...
My complaint is that it is very slow! Half a year, IMHO, is a very long time for such a company and a blow to the image.
yes, dan hyung and himeko are brutal of course, looks pathetic for such a studio
Beautiful)
As expected) as I expected in March))
Wow, Vuva has already byed the gash, and there wasn't even a peak on the horned one XD
Let's see what her income will be for May and how the dickheads will start drooling on VUVU again. Will they write some kind of denunciation for sexualization again?:D
Logical, expected and deserved. Although the almost complete lack of interest in Sheela is somewhat surprising. But not so much.
I have two assumptions about Shilo. First, she came out in a fairly flat period where she didn't have any strong competitors for banners, so everyone who wanted to win, won. There are few people left who want to rerun. Or second, Natlan is ending, the characters of this region want to play with each other. And in Snezhnaya there will be some new mechanics, which will make Natlan players less relevant.
I think the situation in GI now is like it was in HSR: many players are saving up for Skirk and Snow in general.
It's hardly that simple. Are they hoarding gems - jades? This could be accepted as a reason, if it were statistics of spins, and not financial profit. Donation is a very emotional matter "oh I want it, I want it!". Kastorkin dragon managed to play on this emotion - and XSR is on top. And the attitude towards players still plays a huge role. I donate to where they please me and listen to me. As a buyer, I will always prefer friendly sellers))
I guess it's because of the useless c1.
Either c0 (which many have since release), or c2 straight away.
And given the news about the absolutely imbalanced Escrofie (who will be much more important for the overall strength of the than the same Skirk), spinning c2 is not really an option.
Plus, the extremely mediocre fours. Anyone who needed Fara most likely took her early, and the const on Yanka and Bayda are generally neither hot nor cold, even if they were s0.
I agree, Shilo looks extremely pale against the background of Skufia. And all the spells like "Shilo is no less than +- Fura!!!" have sunk into oblivion. Well, fours are always a bad reason to spin a banner, although Iansan probably helped sell the cow quite well.
I often read your site, thanks for the articles. BUT what's wrong with your sentence structure? "The new Madoka Magica Magia Exedra was released on March 26 and managed to rise above Infinity Nikki, having a lot of regional restrictions and being inaccessible to a lot of fans." Who has restrictions, the new gacha or Nikki? Why build such graphomaniac constructions?
in steam ru region is blocked, apparently)
Yes, the new gacha is not available in many countries, not only in the Russian region.
I play wuva when I have time, only to learn German (besides the fact that I'm already learning it), because the game is super cool, the combat is awesome, the plot is interesting, but I go through it sooooo slowly because I read and translate everything (in German), and it gives an incentive to learn a foreign language only because it's worth learning foreign languages, if there was Russian there wouldn't be such an incentive, so for me it's even good that there is no Russian, there is no better combat anywhere for a phone in similar games now, wuva is an adult brother of genshin, although it came out later, but not vice versa, the whole gameplay there is a couple of heads higher)) well, and I like honkai because it does not require much time, you do some activity and you are free, there is no feeling that you go to the game to work, it leaves a lot of time for life, I don't compare it with wuva, because honkai is turn-based, and for a turn-based game, it is gorgeous, at the moment it is also better No.
Well, it's obvious that you haven't played much wuvu.
like clicking mobs with one button and maximum synergies between characters in the form of filled outro > switched, can be a cool and groovy combat game... and there is nothing else there.
The most beautiful maybe, precisely because of the graphics, but the combat turned out to be a cut above, the question is...
but it is as spectacular as possible, no, if you kill beautifully, then it is not clicking but art, you can make such spectacular fights there, especially if you learn parrying, that it will be a personal aesthetic pleasure, for this I play it, Genshin never even dreamed of such a thing. In of spectacularity and thoughtfulness of the battle, Wuwa is no worse than in Elden Ring, although it is 100 times lighter, but it is just as well-thought-out, that is, parrying feels like parrying, dodging like dodging, jumping, etc. all this is felt, and does not fail as in the same Genshin, where it (the battle) is not worked out at all, neither graphically, nor in essence (in Genshin it is precisely clicking, without the feeling of a "fight").
in short, wuva is already a real adult graphic orgasm for the eyes)) I'm already 30, I work, and still wuva really got me going (I started half a year ago, and I go there regularly when I have time, I don't get bored at all), whereas I tried gensh when it came out half a year ago, very rarely, rather due to the hype, well, it's very childish, I abandoned it, although I was 20 with a change then, neither the combat nor the game impressed me, unlike wuva
Well, it's clear that you like it more, and for God's sake, but you yourself gave the only argument - it's beautiful and spectacular, well, holy shit ) And what is the depth of the fighting specifically? Although if you compare it to Elden Ring, as if it were something super cool, then okay, okay, in principle, everything is heard
I won't argue that WoW has good combat (it does), but it's not like Elden Ring is an example of good combat.
yes, I brought this as a comparison of edits from TikTok, it is very similar from the side where the nerds of parrying and dodging (not just rolls but dodging that some medals/gear give) make the most spectacular fights in Elden Rings, you can do the same in WoW, and it looks no worse, exactly epic, than in Elden Ring, in the sense that everything is felt, you feel the dodge, counterattack, etc., not just beautiful animations, but also the action behind them, and this is accompanied by graphic pleasure
+ music in the game, it’s amazing
wow, is Gensh really a tower or something? Pressing 4 ults in a row and not seeing anything in their animations (hi Kazakh) while everything dies is the peak for you?
in wuve due to skill the relevant content is covered by nerds in 1 character due to parries and dodges and it looks visually cool, gensh against this background is just the bottom that has broken through the bottom
+
I didn't say that Genshin is a peak for me, Genshin is a mediocre gameplay mobile game. But if you compare the combat with WoW, then yes, it is a peak)
Well, you're in the same place as the guy above, who praised the beautiful videos from TikTok on VUV.. 5 minutes of beating one boss with two types of attacks for Dungeon is very beautiful and a plus to the depth and development of the combat, I heard you too)) I give you a thumbs up
> each entry into the game was accompanied by a short video with the reaper Kastoria.
What? He's shown once when you first enter the game, and then he doesn't appear again.
Then not every day when you ? I had this experience myself, the video was constantly playing. Of course, it could be a bug - I'll fix this fragment then.
No, just once. :)
Got it, thanks c:
Definitely a bug. Me and all my friends only had it once.
Corrected)
