Honkai: Star Rail (PC/PS5/PS4/Android/iOS) - Honkai Impact 3rd Extended Universe

[Gokulo]

Oh man, simulated universe is quite fun

[Obsidian]

I think I'm gonna reroll until I luck into Seele with the 8ish wishes you get right off the hop.

So much dialog and the "f" key replacing the "e" key for confirmations on PC throws me off.

Geez, the music during the first world boss has no place hitting so hard D:

Eh, not sure how I feel about this. I had typed up a whole paragraph but basically it comes down to how they balance the difficulty and whether we end up being pushed to roll for new characters in order to clear content, a problem Genshin does not have but seems to be possible here due to the more static nature of the combat. I'm cautiously enjoying it but still giving Hoyoverse the sideeye. Also fuck the first boss, I went in with the basic party and just the XP books I got from chests and got wrecked. Thankfully there are more XP books from our inbox and all that but man wtf lol

[Yuri-G]

still not sure I'm going to play longterm but I did end up rolling an account with Bailu that I think I'll keep and maybe play around with. if I do, I'm 100% saving for Kafka because she is Queen

what 5* did y'all get from the intro banner?

[Gokulo]

I got Himeko. Obviously wanted Bronya but I'm not mad at this too.

Lots of comedy all over - I completed a battle with some dude and after he praised my skills I could reply something along: 'that's because I gatcha'd alot' or 'but I only got two skills'

The messages system especially. I just had Dan Heng tell me he found a communication log with Dad Jokes

Man, I really hope the story is good. This feels/looks like a Xenosaga game.

[Yuri-G]

Himeko is such a great character though. I wouldn't mind having her even though she's supposedly mid-tier

Have Seele set as support rn, can set Bailu if a healer is useful for future events or some shit FFBE style

Gacha is hot ass just like Genshin and I can see the units in this game meaning a lot more than the ones in that game but we'll see

that's exactly what I'm saying, this game has a much greater potential for shady powercreep shenanigans. we'll see indeed

[Kachiko]

I picked up Himeko and Tingyun, so I'll probably Drop physical MC for now. The game doesn't pull punches with the fierce enemies, and really punishes you for any Ambush fight. Then again, you can always retreat or if you die, go back to the nearest spawn point which isn't too far away. Definitively need to know how to shield to get past some, and the break set, on the appropriate character, is a very noticeable break boost for DPS and surviving.

[Gokulo]

In general, a different mindset will be needed than in Genshin, because you can't just evade/i-frame your way out of hard enounters. You do need to build for durability too.

Or Star Ocean without the whole alliance of planets agreement thing hanging over their heads (don't tell primitive planets that you come from outer space).

this is very much my feeling right now

Spoiler: show

interstellar travelers, oops we got stuck and have to do down to a planet that doesn't know about us, space plot takes a backseat while we solve local problems that will eventually all be connected back to our space travel problems. this is star ocean 101

Rerolled a bunch and so far the best account I've got is Welt (lost the 50/50 on Seele's banner) and Gepard (from the standard banner, not the discounted one). I'd really like to just have an account with Seele and/or Bronya, but Welt is supposedly quite good so I'm gonna keep rerolling today (it's kinda fun anyway) and when the launch codes expire I'll just take the best account that I've got.

Welt is currently the only light element character available and most of the early mobs are weak to the element. There is a light waifu coming, but it's a ways out.
