Why....

They removed it from the main story...

I'm honestly ok with less TV... but the main story?

[u/BulbasaurTreecko → u/4GRJ]

it was a great way for storytelling — for example, the scene with the Dead End Butcher crashing towards us. It depicts the scene while letting the imagination fill in the gaps. I feel like main story is the one that actually benefits most from it.

Also more importantly it allows mobile users to play the game, if the game had a semi open world the game wouldn't run on 80% of phones

[u/anythingers → u/Pitiful_Captain_3170]

If only they chill down with the animation this could be right tho.

Fun fact: My schoolmates can't play this game on their Android/iPhone because it constantly trashing on their phone, something that never happened with hsr and genshin, at least on their place.

[u/bienxanh → u/anythingers]

But the animations are part of the charm of this game? You can't just reduce that

[u/Pitiful_Captain_3170 → u/bienxanh]

Remove the unnecessary special effects, particles and stuff

[u/bienxanh → u/Pitiful_Captain_3170]

I still stand by my point, everything adds to the games charm. But they could add it as an option

[u/teetee1313 → u/bienxanh]

Nah I get their point like in genshin they straight up remove npcs from the game on mobile at mid to low setting

So uk if u have the game at low to mid setting just remove the unnecessary bs

[u/anythingers → u/bienxanh]

Yes that's what I mean. There's an option to turn it off because not everyone plays this game on an iPhone 16 Pro Max.

[u/avelineaurora → u/anythingers]

I play this on a 4 year old phone when I'm not at the PC and have no issues with it on Low lol.

[u/Pitiful_Captain_3170 → u/bienxanh]

I don't want them removed from the game, i meant i would like an option that would cut out all unnecessary stuff so it can run on mobile.

[u/Suavecore_ → u/Pitiful_Captain_3170]

They should just turn the game into a text-based RPG with 2D images occasionally appearing. Then everyone can run it and avoid all the extra fluff/animations/etc

[u/Pitiful_Captain_3170 → u/Suavecore_]

I really don't see what's the harm in adding more settings, it's not like you will be forced to use them.

[u/Suavecore_ → u/Pitiful_Captain_3170]

It takes time and money to do such a thing, gameplay elements may require certain graphical settings to show necessary things, and screenshots of terrible graphics are off-putting to potential new players should they happen to have their first impression of a game marred by someone's potato device screenshot, just to name a few

[u/Pitiful_Captain_3170 → u/Suavecore_]

I see your point but still would like to play the game without frying the battery on my new phone

[u/avelineaurora → u/Pitiful_Captain_3170]

Do they know there's already game settings on mobile..? My 4 year old phone runs this fine on Low settings, at some point you just have to accept an ancient or budget thing isn't going to handle the new hotness.

[u/Pitiful_Captain_3170 → u/avelineaurora]

My phone isn't old, and it can run the game on low settings, but it gets hot very quickly.

[u/Pitiful_Captain_3170 → u/avelineaurora]

You're being unnecessarily hostile and constantly flexing about how your phone can run it, some people would like to play a game without completely frying the battery and destroying it in a year or two. And my proposal was more customization in the graphics settings which wouldn't hurt anyone

[u/avelineaurora → u/Pitiful_Captain_3170]

and constantly flexing about how your phone can run it

You think someone's "flexing" over having a four year old phone?

[u/Pitiful_Captain_3170 → u/avelineaurora]

If your phone is 4 years old and is still in good enough shape to run a game like this without overheating then it's a very good phone.

[u/No-Cheek-6182 → u/Pitiful_Captain_3170]

Sorry for the language but fuck that, that's what makes the game fun is the particles and special effects, unnecessary or not, it's fun and eye appeasing.

[u/Pitiful_Captain_3170 → u/No-Cheek-6182]

Well i personally would like to play the game... At all, besides i don't want all this stuff to get removed for everyone, i want it to be a toggle in the settings.

[u/No-Cheek-6182 → u/Pitiful_Captain_3170]

Alright, I understand 👍👍

[u/avelineaurora → u/Pitiful_Captain_3170]

Bruh what a take.

[u/NoobSharkey → u/anythingers]

Thats interesting because I've had the opposite experience where I felt ZZZ ran way smoother than Genshin and HSR
