Oh yeah we talked about this before with the analog thrusting and it jogged my memory: I did use controller. There's no aiming necessary so I think controller is probably the way to go.

Although I do very much hope they'll make it good. I have a lot of trust in their game design chops!
Star Rail came out today. It is good, turns out! Fairly standard JRPG stuff, but there's enough cool mechanics and tactical decisionmaking to make battles interesting.

The worldbuilding and story are extremely well done, sasuga Mihoyo. It feels great to be in the world and see what's out there. Instantly hooked!

I assume I'll go through the whole gacha journey again like I did with Genshin, and then I'll quit. But I did not regret my time with Genshin at all, and I don't think I'll regret this one either.

Aren't most gachas singleplayer RPGs? I thought that was the most common type of gacha. Usually not 3D, but still.

If you don't have PvP, you don't have idiots trying to pay to feel better than other people, which is one of the big gacha moneymakers.

I would say the default state is primarily single player but with a PvP mode that provides rewards and encourages whaling.

I have downloaded and quickly deleted a lot of shitty gachas with anime graphics in my time.

this is one of the things I appreciate about mihoyo games. no pvp, no leaderboards. you get to have your little bonsai experience without feeling like you have to measure up to something.

overwatch 2 was basically a large patch after a few years of not patching

the one thing they said they would include to make it seem like a new game is not being included. so its just overwatch 1

Coming this fall, play as Moishe. Can you escape the Warsaw ghetto in this action RPG?
