#as a game

[valkyrievanessa]

is kinda wild that i was obsessed with honkai impact few months ago and now i preffer Punishing Gray Raven. Their gameplay is kinda similar (there is a lot of differences, but just looking they do look kinda similar), the story have a similar premise (world ending by a mysterious force, high technology), and that's it, everything else is kinda different, a lot.

the best difference between them is their meta. Honkai Impact meta is a... mess, like, really a mess. Every patch is a new top meta character, every patch is a character you must have to be able to play the abyss and etc. because the new character have a unique mechanic and this unique mechanic is the only thing capable to interact with the new boss, without the character, even if you manage to beat the boss (sometimes is impossible) your rank will go down and you will receive less rewards, and this is not because you are worst then the guys on the top, but because they have the new characters and their weapons that are made to deal with the new boss, and know the combo to totally annihilate the new boss, you just are good in the game, so you don't deserve the high rank.

PGR in the other hand, even the broken characters became kinda useless if you don't know how to use them (is hard to use the broken character if they are dead, and they will die if you not become good enough with dodge and parry) and if the meta matter so much for you, the strongest dark character right now is being given for free and the last dark character released is not better than her and the next top meta dark character will only lunch in the next year, you don't even need her 6 star weapon (some character does need their best weapon, but it doesn't mean they are useless). Also your rewards are not attached to your points, but for how much you played the mode in a week, so you can still farm the gacha currency without being affected by your rank. I also like setting of PGR more, honkai impact setting is good, but like, PGR is perfection.

The things i like more in Honkai than in PGR is 1: the representation, most of the honkai impact cast is made of lesbians (and a bi woman), 2: the protagonist. Your character in honkai impact, the capitan, is not canon, he does not exist, Kiana is our protagonist, the male capitan that build an harem? he's for events only, for the main canon story he doesn't exist at all. In PGR you not only exist but is the protagonist, you kinda have tons of people (both men and woman, and that is cool) interested in you romantically (kinda, tons of them), but the protagonist are pretty much a self insert, probably a guy, that had one scene where Lucia kiss the camera, because you also don't have a face, so the scene is cool but the camera kissing is really weird (i imagine the commandant as a woman to create some of immersion for me, but it is probably a guy, if Punishing Gray Raven ever recieve an adaptation, the protagonist will be a male character, they always are). There is also a couple of lesbians in PGR, but just a couple, like, these two girls that are obviously a couple even if the game don't say it (at least, i don't remember that was said), one of them where exploded by a orbital bombardment? yes, but they exist and the dead girl recieved a F2P rank S unit that is really powerful after she died, and more story about her.

I am on the chapter 15 of PGR, maybe i will be surprised in the future, there is a lot to read.

wish the human body had like a crash log or something so I could pin shit down. Why am I having a sudden spike of anxiety when I’m just sitting here? Well it looks like there’s a conflict here between my medication and the better foliage mod
