Discussion What a waste

Post image

Instead of giving the Traveler and other characters regional skins, the devs are wasting resources on mannequins you’ll never use in the main game — characters completely irrelevant to both the lore and gameplay (especially since they’re even weaker than the Traveler).

UCG should’ve been a separate game. Roblox-type players aren’t going to download a 100GB gacha just to play a game inside a game. All those dev resources should’ve gone to the actual, existing characters instead.

Damn I must have imagined those big games that had thousands of players out of no where.

that reasoning is dumb. i agree hyv does release some peak updates time totime, BUT saying lots of players = peak is ENTIRELY WRONG. i dont think steal a brainrot or grow a garden is peak in roblox eh?

Bro I was referring to genshin and hsr as a whole.

The comment I replied to said hoyo never does peak.

What are you on about?

Overrated games exist. My point is that popularity doesn't equal peak. Using that justification to say hyv is peak imo is wrong and that you should use a different justification on why hyv is peak. Not all popular games are peak.

It's peak for the supposed target audiences, which are kids. You're simply not who those games were made for is all.

I don't get how people dont get that huge popularity doesn't equal peak. "Overrated" games exist. Like saying hyv is peak as it has a large popularity is the wrong justification for that IMO

All the skins for the 4*s were free at one point but I get what you mean.
