aren't there like 7 or 8 free characters you get? I'm sure between that, a couple different banners and standard you could easily get 20 different characters with no 5 star

genshin impact gives you more game than AAA games for free and you can guarantee any character for free. "gambling" isn't part of it.
Can you pay a set amount to win at Blackjacks?
I decide which 5 star I want and calculate the amount of gems I will need in terms of rewards from in game or out of pocket.
And f2p will get plenty of 5 stars, if you don't care which ones you get.
If you want a particular one, you save or swipe.

I feel no doubt in my soul when I utter these words: Genshin Impact is a shit game. It is not worth your time, and ESPECIALLY not your money.
He expect a game where only exist with skip button for every battle, story instead of actual full open world exploration that wasn't a copy paste or random generated environment *cough* PSO2NG *cough* when He heard the word gacha in it.
It also got no PVP or leaderboard so He feels like an idiot for wasting money because nobody would pay him attention.
Its the other way around actually, if this was a PNG collector you will get hundreds of free pull every month.
So he expect less of gameplay and more free gambling point.
ZZZ looks interesting so far, gotta see if it gets the usual AI slop there too.
You can really tell they're made by sentient beings and not command prompts. Sorry chinks, AI isn't there yet.
How am I wrong? Here's a good showcase that goes over the problems with the game. A game where you spend most of the time looking at menus sucks.

Then you haven't looked at it at all.
I like being what’s wrong with modern video games. I like enjoying a game while knowing that the mere act of me spending money on waifus is what’s making some seething Redditor in Mexico priced out of something he wants in vidya. Only third-worlders and man-children who think “FOMO” is a real thing (translation: “I have no self-control”) care enough to crusade against gacha games lol
FOMO isn't just about gacha, it's about dailies and time gated/limited events
looks even more sanitized than usual, plus they already censored two (female) characters
the black + red is already overused for the little number of characters they have
Hoyoverse has the most mentally ill fanbase in all of gaming and if you disagree then you have never been to a Honkai thread
It's like a circlejerk for losers to lick their wounds, convince themselves they're way better than every other game out there, raid other threads to feel better while shilling their game and get increasingly mad at other gachas enjoying themselves while they aren't.
Honkaifags are the most brainwashed hoyodrones of all
At least genshits will admit the game has problems or could be improved but every honkfag sounds like they're getting paid to hype the game, shill it to everyone and do damage control any time someone complains or doesn't like something
This is the best body type on adult girls is the best wide hipes small chest makes them look young and then when you get them preggers their itty bitties become big bitties and its like you aged her up into a your own milf house wife
uninstalled you mean
yeah, felt the same
it was just so boring, and i dont like games where you collect shit for hours in the open world
the hours of dialogue is also a turn off along with the lifeless world
A company specifically designed to drain the wallets of useful idiots. If you play any of their "games" you're what's wrong with modern video games.
Also they advertise here so much, I wonder what they could do if they used that money to build fun video games instead.

They're shit. Release ZZZ and I might change my opinion. Genshin is their best game but tragically falls off once you explore all the areas and progress the story.
You can explore all the areas in under 50 hours, and then it becomes a fast travel snoozefest where you go to a marker, kill enemies, and go back to an NPC to skip cutscenes. It's repetitive slop packaged in an open world to waste your time.
Mi ho yo can. >b-b-but there's secret areas and trials that are only available at high AR!!
padded slop with random shit rewards that enable the power creep plaguing the game, which is only useful for the abyss
>You can explore all the areas in under 50 hours,
no you absolutely fucking cant
What do you gain from bullshitting on the internet? What's the endgame?
What do you gain from defending gacha slop when you have dailies to run? You're wasting your time here when you should be wasting your time farming mats to make dmg number go higher kek
>You're wasting your time here when you should be wasting your time farming mats to make dmg number go higher kek
Genshin and HSR don't even have anything like that. At one point you immediately max out the character and all you have to do is try to gamble in the artifact/relic mines until the game EOS'd. And guess what, it's completely worthless, since all the hardest content can be cleared with the bare minimum anyway.
It's like the games have all those stats and builds and shit and none of them have an actual function or use in the game.

Removing Genshin's story completely (or adding a SKIP button, that everyone would use btw, hence why removing it altogether would be better and a big save of time and effort by the devs) would improve the game tenfold easily. Absolute garbage designed to make you waste time.
Cool, nobody gives a fuck. If you don't like it then move on. Tantrums might work on the parents that failed to raise you properly but it won't work on anyone here and much less on companies.
>Cool, nobody gives a fuck
It's literally the most common complaint about the game. You're a minority for enjoying the story. If you think you should get catered to, then you should also accept whales requests of infinite endgame grinds or MMO raids, I guess? >but it won't work on anyone here and much less on companies.
Funny, considering HSR has a Skip button for already seen cutscenes and ZZZ an actual fully functional one. I think Genshin's devs are just plain obtuse and retarded and want you to SAVOR very slowly the slop Fat Xiao produces for some reason, without realizing that some player don't like the story (because it's objectively garbage) and just want to do the best thing the game has to offer: explore.

I don't like that lock on feature, it's fine for characters with projectiles, but sucks for everyone else
It makes the game brain dead, focus on attacking then press dodge, you get I frames so it doesn't matter where you are either
>an entire minute of dialog ""skipping""
This is literally worse than sitting through a fucking loading screen. How the fuck do people endure through that kind of slog?
Best part of this is that it's extra useless event dialogue. >dialogue that only serves to wall you off from getting straight to fixing the paintings >not even useful as a pre-activity thing for explaining it since a tutorial pops up immediately afterwards
This right here is the worst part of Genshin. Not the gacha or the gameplay but this. The bloated unskippable filler writing. I never got into Star Rail beacuse it's most likely the same.
oddly enough star rail is a worse game overall but has better writing.
its strange the fucking amnesiac has a better character than the immortal twins.
>oddly enough star rail is a worse game overall but has better writing.
It shines when it's Honkai: Star Trek about visiting random planets and getting in trouble with the locals/getting tangled up in some incident.
China story was their usual wuxia/xianxia slop and literally everyone that's not a braindead chink hated this.
So far having played mihoyo >honkai impact 3rd is their passion >hsr they clearly have fun with the writing
Genshing is more safe but it serves to fund their projects. Zzz looks like another passion of them
>Genshing is more safe but it serves to fund their projects.
Nigga what? SR is their money maker now.
Low effort auto battler and 30 minutes content every number update while making more money than genshin.
Star Rail writing is miles ahead of Genshin.
I dropped GI precisely because of the miles of garbage dialogues that take hours to skip through and SR dialogues are much better, great even.
>Star Rail writing is miles ahead of Genshin.
thats a joke, right?
nta but genshin's writing is unbearable for one simply reason, pic related
it's the worst wordslop I've ever seen in any game, I refuse to believe human hands typed those 10 million words when the writing is that bad, it has to be AI-generated
both stories are equally bad and marred with plotholes, retcons and rewrites which is to be expected considering their schedule, but atleast starrail keeps it concise

This post is exactly why the Honkai star rail community is utterly worthless. There's zero HSR discussion or community, it doesn't exist. Any Honkai thread or /hsrg/ is just a battleground for /hig/ and Honkeks to duke it out against the evil genshitters, talk about how much they hate genshin, how everything bad is genshin's fault and sometimes seething about other popular gachas like BA or Nikke.
ZZZ should be much better since it has nothing to do with Genshin or Honkai which means actual discussion will be possible
>This post is exactly why the Honkai star rail community is utterly worthless. There's zero HSR discussion or community, it doesn't exist.

I love you you completely ignored when the chart revenue showed that Star Rail surpassed Genshit their rabid fanbase did nothing but shitpost non stop the threads for a good while until mods took notice and started to ban them. And yeah, there's no discussion since we are in a middle of a content drought so it's mostly a coomer dumping ground much like Genshin is right now.
But go on, keep believing your precious Genshin is totally misjudged by the evil honkeks and cover your ears to the reality.
Also when ZZZ tops both SR and Geshin, I'll look forward to your seething when every discussion gets derailed into Genshin once again.
I hate them and their games, none of which I've played of course, because they are Chinese communists.
Whenever I buy clothes, electronics, etc. I check the label and if it says 'made in China', I don't buy it. A man must have principles and they must be universally applied.
I find it interesting they need to disguise what they are behind Japanese terminology like 'otaku' and Japanese voice acting for their game. It's part of the subterfuge and low-cunning that defines the communist.
They must try to hide what they are, for in the same way that the primal instinct of man cautions him in the presence of the serpent or the spider that this creature bodes danger does one feel naturally repulsed in the presence of these communist scum.
>Whenever I buy clothes, electronics, etc. I check the label and if it says 'made in China', I don't buy it
Anon built a computer by himself, digging copper by himself! Holy shit!
I'm fighting as best I can, son.
I know we can't help but give money to them in some ways, but I try to avoid it as much as possible.
I'm not like people who send money directly to the communists via this game.
You can argue about the futility of my actions, but it is the spirit of resistance versus that of ignorance or even capitulation to these red Chinese devils which defines the difference between you and I.
Fair enough.
I think that it's a futile effort however. You decide to not play those games and spend money on them. You convince other 4 people to do the same. Then whatever American or your country's company strikes a deal with a Chinese one and makes them earn 300 millions. It's completely futile until the higher ups decide that it's time to say no to China, because huh they don't get enough money from them, I guess.
So might as well just play whatever the fuck you want. But even then, these games are average when it comes to gaming, so you can safely ignore them and don't regret it.
I take a Kantian outlook on the issue.
It wouldn't be a just position on my part to insist these companies stop sending money to China if I don't adhere to that principle myself.
It is because I believe all people and corporations large and small should recognise China (and communists) as their enemy and not support them that I do the same.
Didn't play Disco Elysium either because that was also made by communists.
>It is because I believe all people and corporations large and small should recognise China (and communists) as their enemy and not support them that I do the same.
The problem is that nobody does and most adopt my ideology instead. So in the end, they have fun playing games (not the ones mentioned here because rumao) while you just sit in your own righteousness that will amount to nothing.
To be fair, I lost all faith in those things, I think the world is just a boring shade of gray. People just chase trends instead of morals or their own dreams, hence why I think all of this is worthless.

I don't find it easy to part with my morals because it would be convenient for me. Genshin could be the most fun game in the world (objectively) but it wouldn't bring me any pleasure because I would know that for each moment I play I am giving my support to something evil and that just wouldn't sit right with me.
I've talked with other people about avoiding Chinese products as much as possible when given the chance. I'm not famous so can't broadcast myself very far, but I do what I can.
You are right to say it will amount to nothing because I am just one man, but if everyone acted as I did then the problem would be solved.

Everyone has the capacity to kill the phenomenon by just refusing to pay for them but people are weak-willed, I suppose.
I think it's unbelievable how quickly their quality fell off a cliff the moment they achieved success.
Last 2 years of Genshin have been nothing but reading, zero actual playable content, and terrible character designs that don't even remotely resemble the clean and fresh style of the 1.0 ~ 2.0 characters.
Honkai's designs have similarly fallen off, but not as bad. Similar trend with a TON of reading, which isn't as bad because Honkai's writing style doesn't steal lines from Dora the Explorer and Peppa Pig.
Star Rail is everything wrong with Genshin 3.0 and beyond, it fucking sucks, all the characters look like shit, all the writing is forced meme garbage.
They should be KyoAni'd.
Feels a bit bland. Copy/pasted character models etc.
But the worst offender is probably the constant dailies and then... nothing else to do. I fucking hate dailies as primary content.
Other gachas hate Genshin because it's popular
Honkaifags hate Genshin because of tribalism and they're mad Genshin is the more popular game so they're constantly trying to prove they're better
Anti-gacha fags hate Genshin because it's the most popular gacha
Anti-China fags hate Genshin also because it's the most popular chinese gacha
I will play Genshart again when they sto making male characters (or at least non-faggy looking males which Genshin has a grand total of 0 right now, MAYBE zhong is alright) and decensor the females.
The game feels pretty pointless for me now, the story sucks and I kept using the same 10 girls for years.
hit and miss, they care more about HI3rd and it shows. >HI3rd
like the combat the most of all their games. I ust prefer corridor/arena action games over open world any day. even the open world segments are still corridors so I like it.
>genshin
never got into it, fucked my account early as a new player and the plot, characters, aesthetic, and combat never gripped me like HI3rd did.
>honkai star rail
I like that their world design is corridors because fuck open world games, but it's not an action game so I'm just not interested. it plays itself for fucks sake. never got into the plot, none of the characters appeal to me, so star rail isn't for me. that being said, it is the highest quality product mihoyo has put out so far.
tl;dr I like HI3rd the best and I hope mihoyo continues to fund it with the profits from genshin and star rail.
I'll openly admit I didn't bother with their earlier stuff because that's not even close to what I wanted out of a mobile action game, so of the ones I played I prefer hi3rd.

DFO has nice vocal song for Slayer Type B(Despite she wielding zanbato only with 1 hand despite her demonic hand can wield sword seems weird, since type A counterpart should wield short sword with 2 hands sometime despite his twisted arm)
I tried all the three main games, but Genshin is the only one i'm playing since three years and probably keep playing until the "end".
I dropped HI3 after six months, and while still playing HSR it feels like a chore and i honestly couldn't care less about any character. I'll probably drop that as well in a very short time.
Darren is a notorious tendie sperg that's been active for many years. Most famous for creating a really obvious falseflagging persona that he named "eric", where he pretended to be a sony fan.

Top+GFL are better than Genshin and Burqa archive. Sex sells over Gameplay in anime weebs. Genshin is unfappable for lacking fanservice for body type B like bikini and bath scene, too much push for body type A.
Genshin,Starrail and Zenless zone Zero mogs DMC5, Dark souls 3, Sekiro, MHW, Elden ring, RE4, ToTK into a mediocre shovelware.
Mihoyo kills Japanese game in ease. So they never collab with inferior Japanese IPs unlike some lesser companies, such as Activision,Ubisoft, behavior,valve(Prinny sword in TF2) ,nexon,smilegate,kong studio,shitup,yostar,zilong,netease.
For No Japanese game have higher metascore than genshin since 2021.
En taro Xi Jinping!! My life for China!!
Mihoyo shows that China never kneels to brackrock's ESG, and China never gets woke due to 10000 years of history and adamant tradition and belief.
Does Genshin have Drag queen? China never gets woke. China never care bout LGBT unlike Western barbarians. For China have 10000 years of history and has adamant tradition and belief which never kneels to wokism.
Nikke has nice vocal song unlike Genshin. DFO which earns more than genshin and has more variety delivered us nice song of type B slayer(Spectre) and Agent

I loved this game to death and pretty much lost my love for it in fontaine
fontaine is really weird...doesnt feel like part of the world and the weird circusy themes, focus on males, and the city itself being garbage just took me out of the game. it doesnt feel like they tried harder, as they should have
and yu-peng chen's music being gone honestly just robs the game of its magic. the experience is not the same anymore.
I feel the opposite, I gave up on the game cause I hate the desert so much, Wet Frenchies saved the game, I feel so happy in the alpine green grass hills.
I was thinking more along the lines of managing a full-scale battle where you have to fight however many mooks, officers + generals to waste, and objectives to complete. Basically something that requires some strategic thought, effectively moving around terrain, etc
Got way too popular for their own good with Genshin. Now chinks spend their entire life reporting them every day to the CCP for anything and everything which heavily restricts character designs and led to several censored changes, some which for non-CN is at least optional but not all.
Just need more interesting enemies that actually do something. Abyss suck because the main challenge is almost never the enemies themselves, it's the timer.
New whale weekly humanoid enemy inside it is hyper aggressive and actually somewhat enjoyable to fight but it's brief and a bit too heavy on the special effects you can't make out wtf is going on but the game could use more bosses that actually require you to engage with it like that.
Unfortunately it's mobile first so enemies with engaging mechanics will be few and far between. Is the Abyss version of that guy better than the shit during the AQ? Because he folded like a tin can and I was drunk as fuck and barely holding on to consciousness when I fought him
Whale guy will never be in abyss unfortunately since weekly bosses don't go into abyss. It's far more fun doing in the actual weekly than the AQ version but he still dies too fast.
The Hydro Tulpa might make it to abyss and I'm mixed at the thought of it because it has a dash away move that it CAN spam if it wants to and with abyss HP bloat that just seems like RNG hell rather than an actually fun fight. If it didn't have it it's actually fairly dangerous and aggressive with deceptive hitboxes on its moves.

I don't care for gacha, but I appreciate that they're maybe the only gacha company I can think of that actually funnels their profits back into new projects and increased budgets for said projects. Most game companies would just horde that shit, but their management seems genuinely interested in giving players what they want, even if most of their players are gambling addicts.
>but their management seems genuinely interested in giving players what they want,
I dunno about this, I think most people would like skins and stuff which would benefit Mihoyo as well.

I stuck with star rail since it only takes 2 minutes to do the dailies and I got just about every character I wanted. Now I'm just in a comfy daily and save spot.
China used to have soul, modern CCP China is anti-soul and any charm Genshin posses comes from mindless copying Japan... which is ironic since they got their soul originally from China a thousand years ago.
Genshin is boring after awhile and is made substantially worse by the mmo-tier artifact grind shit. The story and side quests are largely uninteresting but I stopped at Inazuma so it might 'get better' later.
Honkai Impact 3rd is fun but suffers from weird content bloat and being drawn in so many different directions as time has gone on. The main story was nice but I feel off when Kevin appeared and started acting like a fanfic self insert OC. I hear it gets better and that people Yaoi ship Kevin??? but I don't have any will to return.
Star Rail is okay. It ripping off Genshin's UI is almost uncanny but the game has a general undercurrent of trying to 'one up' Genshin in terms of general game design. Kafka is hot. The gameplay is generic gacha rpg mechanic shit but at least it actually tries to be different than FGO-likes. Belobog is neat solely because I'm a sucker for seeing Seele and Bronya be fags and Chink Empire shit was kind of a snoozefest.
I don't play any of them anymore and don't have any intention of changing that anytime soon.
They're connected largely through expy characters and there's no substantial 'lore' that connects any of them at besides some conjecture and speculation. The real originator is GGZ but nobody willingly wants to sit through that. I probably had the most fun with HI3 but it felt insurmountable as a casual player like 4 years ago and it's probably even worse now.
Though I've heard that HSR Welt and HI3 Welt are the same character but I have no idea what the mechanics behind that are.
>but I stopped at Inazuma so it might 'get better' later.
Every time a new region is released I check the general and every other person is seething because they have to get through mountains of dialogue that clearly nobody gives a shit about so they can clear quests.
Is the game still just vertical exploration? I stopped playing in Inazuma because every new zone just had a shit ton of vertical boring exploration.
Just made me miss Mondstadt and Liyue too much.
it's has more now that Sumeru is about 8 times larger than Mondstadt and Liyue combined and most of it underground and cliffs, but they've got regional versions of ziplines and spideman sky slinging
so it's just a whole lot more of everything
after inazuma was chasm which was the most kino crater then cave in vidya, mostly vertical stuff
then sumeru which was a jungle then 3 desert areas, a lot of verticality and caves but lots of horizontal too
now it's fontaine which introduced underwater exploration
Genshit and Japanese anime have lost their own style and everything looks so bland and normal. The problem is that developers want to use old games/formula and repeat yesterday success. The results are always soulless trash.
They alright.
I played Genshin until version 4.1, only missing out on 10 days out of the whole shebang. I played Star Rail until two weeks ago. Both game's main stories are bad, but their side stories are way more enjoyable Too bad you can't skip cutscenes.
I wished they'd come out with a true traditional game InB4ThatAnimalCrossingKnockOff as the talent is there within the company, but a lot of them are held back due to the gacha nature of their games, which is a shame.
I find it amusing that honkeks and genshitters are constantly feuding despite being from the same dev, as if one beating the other revenue-wise means instant EoS
This is going to end up like Saints Row 4.
Who is going to drive a car where you have to follow the road, avoid other cars, and go around building, when you can just swing through the city? A city which is not even hand made procedurally generated by the way...
Well... They travelled together for thousands of years. They also have fighting styles that cover each others blindspots. Finding your twin is a central force moving story forward. "Home is when we're together". Almost hysterical yearning when as much as a possibility of being reunited arises.
In my book, they're lovers.
Tried HI3 and just got confused at how many currencies and game modes and menus and submenus and submenus that had submenus there were.
Tried Genshin like everyone else, the best part is the environments they create and explore. But post-Inazuma I was getting sick of it and fell off. Easily the worst part I remember is the pacing, holy FUCK is that game in need of a skip button
Nigga I've been reading, i read through Umineko recently and it's just words on ths screen. But after 5 minutes of Genshin's writing I immediately get drowsy.
ok I just started playing Genshin and I want the Jean chick but apparently characters are changing every patch, are you telling me it's impossible to get old character? what kind of gacha is system is that?
Jean is a standard 5 star, you can get her at any time. Your best bet is to reroll until you do get her, but ideally you should reroll for her and Furina if you want to start now
Banners rerun all the time, but some characters have no banner. Google if Jean has her own banner, if she doesn't you're double fucked and she's in the standard pool which can be accessed via blue wishes (do not buy them with primogems) or if you fail your 50/50 on current banner char.
Whenever I consider going back to Genshin, I remember motherfucking paimon and how fucking loud she is. I might play another mihoyo game if it doesn't have an annoying goblin that repeats everything
Star Rail has a mascot character but he isn't involved in the main story so all the dialogue is spoken by actual characters instead of Paimon repeating everything, being surprised by stuff, or talking about food for the 80th time this patch
I vaguely remember another chink gacha like Gencshin (open world exploration) but set in post-apo world.
Does anyone know the name of this game? Is it still in development?
I like Genshin overall. It has its problems (though I don't particularly mind the text), but I enjoy it for what it is, especially the exploration. Tried Star Rail for a bit as well and while I like certain aspects, such as the turn-based system being rather anemic (not that Genshin is a brainmelter, but elements+movement make for some amusing possibilities) and it doesn't have the exploration aspect that can keep me playing Genshin.
There's also the fact that since Tingyun's death established that playable characters can die, I lost a lot of my interest for the character. I know the mantra is "playable characters dying is good because it makes the story more mature", but it also eliminates them from the story afterwards, whereas other characters can remain to appear in events and possibly other story content, so I have very little incentive to ever care about that. I know this is more of a personal issue, but gacha is predicated on getting you interested in characters, so I don't think I'm being unreasonable with this.
Genshin is currently the only gacha game with actual gameplay that's fun enough. Downsides are bad writing, homo pandering and a severe lack of a skip dialog function. They other games suck, I tried all of them but they're typical gacha non-games.
I feel like they set a new standard for how to treat premium currency. I hear teenagers getting excited about just getting 4 stars in that game and they save for a year just for a 10% chance to get a 5 star. Its baffling and stupid how much they lowered gacha player's expectations.Even FGO wasn't that bad.
Their games are trash, all of the "big" ones just rely on copying other existing games, as chinese do.
They cant write for shit, neither story nor characters
They cant design for shit, they make the same characters over and over again. And I'm not even reffering to things like multile Bronyas
Mihoyo kills Japanese games in ease.
Japan used to make some great games like persona 5,dark souls 3,FFXIV,FF7R,BoTW,Animals crossing,Sekiro,Nier Automata,Xenoblade 2,DE,Super smash bros ult, Lost judgement, Nioh 2,Like a dragon 7,MH world,RE 7, Judge eyes,Death stranding and DMC5,(according to metacritics)
from 2017 to early 2020, but how can they fall so soon and gets mogged by Hoyoverse and Neowiz so easily, for having no good game with metascore higher than genshin since 2021?
Lies of P, Genshin,Starrail and Zenless zone Zero mogs DMC5, Dark souls 3, Sekiro, MHW, Elden ring, RE4, ToTK into a mediocre shovelware.
Even worse, Neowiz didn't even had knowhow to make console games and didn't poach Japanese or western devs, mogging any Japanese console games by only Koreans.
No wonder why Japanese devs have inferiority complex on genshin so that they used their budget mostly on manipulated metacritics like TLOU2 and cyberpunk by bribing critics in Elden ring and Xenoblade 3.
At least we West still makes good game like Avowed, MS flying sim, D4 and OW2,Halo infinity, AoE4,Elder scrolls 6,STARFIELD,Modern warfare 3, BG3,Mortal Kombat 1, Marvel's spiderman 2,Remnant 2.
BG3 and Starfield are genshin destroyers.

It is
Most genshin threads are instant banned but this one
Also he larps as a Mihoyofag and he doesnt know about Evangelion and Promare in Honkai, Aloy in Genshin and Zombieland for Honkai Gakuen kek
Tartalia(originally Paimon but body type A will have less possibility to be problematic so) hanging Jap fag on right(showing China never kneels to Wokism). Mask, katana, shield represents persona 5,DMC 5, Zelda. Which means that Mihoyo kills Jap games in ease, even finest ones like
DMC5, Dark souls 3, Sekiro, MHW, Elden ring, RE4, ToTK are no match for Genshin. All mediocre shovelware slop in front of Genshin.
No matter what, any game they make won't be recognized on a critical level. No one's goty will be Genshin or Star Rail because they have gatcha implemented.
Even if these games had the best gameplay, music, and story, it is impossible for there be a moment where Geoff Keighly to 'the award goes to Star Rail" or something. That's reserved for $70 retail games. Not to mention, last time Genshin was mentioned, they mispronounced it as Jenshin. No one gives a fuck other than the people who play their games.
No matter what, any game they make won't be recognized on a critical level. No one's goty will be Genshin or Star Rail because they have gatcha implemented.
GOTY is a western award reserved for consoles, simple as.
1. Genshin was never best of any year
2. Even if it was, chinks don't pay into ecosystem enough to be recognized by the clique
Consoles are only ~25% of the entire game industry
Steam is part of PC, they have their ecosystem of indies, asshomosexuals etc and console ports.
Genshin straddles them all, actually, being available on mobile, console (sony) and pc, but is consodered a mobile game since that is the where Mihoyo started, remains and where most of players base are.
Most of the player base is PC. The game is near unplayable on mobile. But for all intents and purposes, it's classified as mobile.

There is no reason to, they don't focus on PC, don't befit from Steam since they are already established as mobile devs in China and had enough advertising budget for Genshin.
Mihoyo is on Epic games store, despite Tencent being deadly rivals in China so they'd rather take Timmy's money than give 30% to Gaben.

Got any source on that?
Perhaps in the west (Americas + Europe), but I thought it was pretty clear almost everybody in Asia plays on phones.
Western, European, and Japanese publications snub gacha games on principle. I have no idea about China, but I imagine anything there is government mandated and has no human opinion involved. Genshin literally only exists and subsists on the Internet.
>snub gacha games on principle
as you should, there are countless shit app that appear and disappear overnight, but most of all, they don't pay for ads in traditional media
reminds me of that situation when avatar and hurt locker were nominated in the best picture category, avatar didn't stand a chance but I doubt people who watched it and especially those who made it and capitalized on it felt bad.
They love to larp as VN devs, while having worse QoL than actual VNs. I don't know how anyone can tolerate the slow text speed and the unskippable animations that prevent you from advancing dialogue.
genshin is trash. honkai never played. impact stopped after couple of weeks. bad company shit games

I tried it
I had like 20 characters, one 5*
played through the story up until somewhere in inazuma after fighting a few soldiers
which 5*?
>I had like 20 characters, one 5*
literally impossible
aren't there like 7 or 8 free characters you get? I'm sure between that, a couple different banners and standard you could easily get 20 different characters with no 5 star

I dont need to play Genshin to know that gambling in video games is retarded
not even 1% of the game is gambling
free hot-dogs and shrimp salad at casinos, same shit
there is no gambling when you know the odds and pity is guaranteed
no you dumbfucks. Pity is when the game gives you the unit you want after a certain amount of roles. Genshit somehow made you think pity only applies to rarity.
>its not gambling if you know the odds
Blackjack confirmed not to be gambling
what the hell are you talking about? if you spend 100 hours playing the game in a couple of months you spend like 5 minutes rolling, and if you manage your resources properly you get what you want, no gambling involved
Just because there is an upper cap on resources spent before a payout still doesn't mean it's not gambling
Gacha =/= gambling
player pay to SKIP the gacha
>its not gambling if you have enough money to raise your odds to 99.999%!
this is why you genshitters are insufferable
it's free
you just play the game, as normal
and you will end up with more 5 stars than you can raise
Xenoblade 2 has worse gacha
if you do your dailies and spend $5 per month on a welkin you should have enough to get a 5* + maybe a constellation every patch cycle
That requires an insane amount of luck most people have to go to 80 pulls to get a 5*. Usually the amount is 8k-11k a patch which just barely gets you to the 50/50.
>insane amount of luck
why do you need luck
pity is 90, just calculate everything to 90, rest is padding
you know either if you can get it or not, simple
poorfag desperation is just sad
>it's not gambling if it's free
>YOU'RE INSUFFERABLE
what don't you get? you are so focused on it being bad because it's chinese that you can't make a rational argument
genshin impact gives you more game than AAA games for free and you can guarantee any character for free. "gambling" isn't part of it.
Can you pay a set amount to win at Blackjacks?
I decide which 5 star I want and calculate the amount of gems I will need in terms of rewards from in game or out of pocket.
And f2p will get plenty of 5 stars, if you don't care which ones you get.
If you want a particular one, you save or swipe.
Simple as.
what odds, there is only one button, dumbfuck
it's gambling because you can spend real money
any other explanation you fucks have are simply cope

I feel no doubt in my soul when I utter these words: Genshin Impact is a shit game. It is not worth your time, and ESPECIALLY not your money.
>first anniversary which was so unbelievably bad
how come?
He expect a game where only exist with skip button for every battle, story instead of actual full open world exploration that wasn't a copy paste or random generated environment *cough* PSO2NG *cough* when He heard the word gacha in it.
It also got no PVP or leaderboard so He feels like an idiot for wasting money because nobody would pay him attention.

That was an old version of the anti-cheat from the game's launch and has nothing to do with people who have a current version of the game installed. Wanna explain to me how it's Mihoyo's fault that Microsoft didn't bother blacklisting it?
Keep on playing the gachaslop and blaming Microsoft.

Weird, I don't get epileptic attacks by looking at the screen and can tell what's going on.
In any case I'm giving them hope because they're a brand new team instead of Honkai/Genshin rejects. Character design they're already miles away all their games so far
>Weird, I don't get epileptic attacks by looking at the screen and can tell what's going on.
Then you haven't looked at it at all.
FOMO isn't just about gacha, it's about dailies and time gated/limited events

Pot calls kettle black. You were right in the first sentence but your revealed your identity immediately after.
Honkaifags are the most brainwashed hoyodrones of all
At least genshits will admit the game has problems or could be improved but every honkfag sounds like they're getting paid to hype the game, shill it to everyone and do damage control any time someone complains or doesn't like something

I'm a big Genshin fan but I only like a few characters. I like exploring and stuff though.
it's more proof you nerds should be learning mandarin over japanese :^)
A company specifically designed to drain the wallets of useful idiots. If you play any of their "games" you're what's wrong with modern video games.
Also they advertise here so much, I wonder what they could do if they used that money to build fun video games instead.
I like being what’s wrong with modern video games. I like enjoying a game while knowing that the mere act of me spending money on waifus is what’s making some seething Redditor in Mexico priced out of something he wants in vidya. Only third-worlders and man-children who think “FOMO” is a real thing (translation: “I have no self-control”) care enough to crusade against gacha games lol
>tech otakus save the world

Almost all Genshin waifus have the same body type as my waifu.
You're a hebephile
They are so ripe

Why do we need a new word for straight male?
>new
They're shit. Release ZZZ and I might change my opinion. Genshin is their best game but tragically falls off once you explore all the areas and progress the story.
>but tragically falls off after like 500 hours, and then it gets updated again
bro
You can explore all the areas in under 50 hours, and then it becomes a fast travel snoozefest where you go to a marker, kill enemies, and go back to an NPC to skip cutscenes. It's repetitive slop packaged in an open world to waste your time.
>You can explore all the areas in under 50 hours,
No yo can't.
Mi ho yo can.
>b-b-but there's secret areas and trials that are only available at high AR!!
padded slop with random shit rewards that enable the power creep plaguing the game, which is only useful for the abyss
>You can explore all the areas in under 50 hours,
no you absolutely fucking cant
What do you gain from bullshitting on the internet? What's the endgame?
What do you gain from defending gacha slop when you have dailies to run? You're wasting your time here when you should be wasting your time farming mats to make dmg number go higher kek
>You're wasting your time here when you should be wasting your time farming mats to make dmg number go higher kek
Genshin and HSR don't even have anything like that. At one point you immediately max out the character and all you have to do is try to gamble in the artifact/relic mines until the game EOS'd. And guess what, it's completely worthless, since all the hardest content can be cleared with the bare minimum anyway.
It's like the games have all those stats and builds and shit and none of them have an actual function or use in the game.
That retarded thinking, I like my characters strong so I want them to be strong as fuck so it matters to me
>but tragically falls off once you explore all the areas and progress the story.
Then wait a month for the new region/story update or a week for the new event?
Removing Genshin's story completely (or adding a SKIP button, that everyone would use btw, hence why removing it altogether would be better and a big save of time and effort by the devs) would improve the game tenfold easily. Absolute garbage designed to make you waste time.
>He posts this while anons above are complaining the story ends
Just accept the game isn't for you and move on.
>the above anon represents everyone
I've met like 30 or 40 people that played Genshin and NONE of them watched or followed the story.
Cool, nobody gives a fuck. If you don't like it then move on. Tantrums might work on the parents that failed to raise you properly but it won't work on anyone here and much less on companies.
>Cool, nobody gives a fuck
It's literally the most common complaint about the game. You're a minority for enjoying the story. If you think you should get catered to, then you should also accept whales requests of infinite endgame grinds or MMO raids, I guess?
>but it won't work on anyone here and much less on companies.
Funny, considering HSR has a Skip button for already seen cutscenes and ZZZ an actual fully functional one. I think Genshin's devs are just plain obtuse and retarded and want you to SAVOR very slowly the slop Fat Xiao produces for some reason, without realizing that some player don't like the story (because it's objectively garbage) and just want to do the best thing the game has to offer: explore.
oh you're one of those mindbroken honkcucks on a crusade against genshin, you should have said so from the start so I can completely ignore all your whiny shitposts.
And the moment you start losing, the deflection to boogeymen begins. Classic.
I preferred the story
I don't like that lock on feature, it's fine for characters with projectiles, but sucks for everyone else
It makes the game brain dead, focus on attacking then press dodge, you get I frames so it doesn't matter where you are either
>an entire minute of dialog ""skipping""
This is literally worse than sitting through a fucking loading screen. How the fuck do people endure through that kind of slog?
Best part of this is that it's extra useless event dialogue.
>dialogue that only serves to wall you off from getting straight to fixing the paintings
>not even useful as a pre-activity thing for explaining it since a tutorial pops up immediately afterwards
This right here is the worst part of Genshin. Not the gacha or the gameplay but this. The bloated unskippable filler writing. I never got into Star Rail beacuse it's most likely the same.
the writing and bloat is actually significantly better in star rail
oddly enough star rail is a worse game overall but has better writing.
its strange the fucking amnesiac has a better character than the immortal twins.
>oddly enough star rail is a worse game overall but has better writing.
It shines when it's Honkai: Star Trek about visiting random planets and getting in trouble with the locals/getting tangled up in some incident.
China story was their usual wuxia/xianxia slop and literally everyone that's not a braindead chink hated this.
So far having played mihoyo
>honkai impact 3rd is their passion
>hsr they clearly have fun with the writing
Genshing is more safe but it serves to fund their projects. Zzz looks like another passion of them
>Genshing is more safe but it serves to fund their projects.
Nigga what? SR is their money maker now.
Low effort auto battler and 30 minutes content every number update while making more money than genshin.
Star Rail writing is miles ahead of Genshin.
I dropped GI precisely because of the miles of garbage dialogues that take hours to skip through and SR dialogues are much better, great even.
And then you land in Luofu.
nta but genshin's writing is unbearable for one simply reason, pic related
it's the worst wordslop I've ever seen in any game, I refuse to believe human hands typed those 10 million words when the writing is that bad, it has to be AI-generated
both stories are equally bad and marred with plotholes, retcons and rewrites which is to be expected considering their schedule, but atleast starrail keeps it concise
Nigga, no one cares.
We just replying to falseflag who thinks Mihoyo can write good story by pretending to be SR player.
All spoken by Paimon by the way.
>but atleast starrail keeps it concise
it fucking doesnt you retard
Glad that Genshin anime project is cancelled for...now. Must had Bilibili to animate this... for China is a black ship by themselves.
>Star Rail writing

>Dialogue
Among us
>Star Rail writing is miles ahead of Genshin.
thats a joke, right?
>responding to anti-genshin shitposter who doesn't even play mihoyo games
These retards has been using any upcoming game as genshin killer shitpost material for years, once they realized nothing works they pretending to be SR player.
Watch them moving on to ZZZ next year.
This is why I can't take it anymore and haven't played in months.
Nice "gameplay" you have there hoyocucks. At least in BG3 I would have had the option of telling this guy to fuck off and killing him on the spot.
Bg3 is few steps ahead of any modern rpg. And genshin is not an rpg.
miHoYo is Hebecore
Mi Hoyo
Jajajajajajaj
Bugmen should be burned
SEXY AS DUCK
I hope ZZZ manages to have a decent community and isn't completely far gone and absolutely worthless like the Honkai threads
Game looks pretty cool and the girls are cute
It will be full of degenerates, aka worthless
i don't play open world slop but i do play star rail occasionally.
That game features furries, it's already over before it even began.
>i do play star rail occasionally.
opinion completely disregarded
mad genshitter lmfao
have a nice day
Thanks for completely proving the point.
This post is exactly why the Honkai star rail community is utterly worthless. There's zero HSR discussion or community, it doesn't exist. Any Honkai thread or /hsrg/ is just a battleground for /hig/ and Honkeks to duke it out against the evil genshitters, talk about how much they hate genshin, how everything bad is genshin's fault and sometimes seething about other popular gachas like BA or Nikke.
ZZZ should be much better since it has nothing to do with Genshin or Honkai which means actual discussion will be possible
>This post is exactly why the Honkai star rail community is utterly worthless. There's zero HSR discussion or community, it doesn't exist.
How can you post that while he replied to
??? kek Do you lack self awareness?
I love you you completely ignored when the chart revenue showed that Star Rail surpassed Genshit their rabid fanbase did nothing but shitpost non stop the threads for a good while until mods took notice and started to ban them. And yeah, there's no discussion since we are in a middle of a content drought so it's mostly a coomer dumping ground much like Genshin is right now.
But go on, keep believing your precious Genshin is totally misjudged by the evil honkeks and cover your ears to the reality.
Also when ZZZ tops both SR and Geshin, I'll look forward to your seething when every discussion gets derailed into Genshin once again.
I hate them and their games, none of which I've played of course, because they are Chinese communists.
Whenever I buy clothes, electronics, etc. I check the label and if it says 'made in China', I don't buy it. A man must have principles and they must be universally applied.
I find it interesting they need to disguise what they are behind Japanese terminology like 'otaku' and Japanese voice acting for their game. It's part of the subterfuge and low-cunning that defines the communist.
They must try to hide what they are, for in the same way that the primal instinct of man cautions him in the presence of the serpent or the spider that this creature bodes danger does one feel naturally repulsed in the presence of these communist scum.
>Whenever I buy clothes, electronics, etc. I check the label and if it says 'made in China', I don't buy it
Anon built a computer by himself, digging copper by himself! Holy shit!
I'm fighting as best I can, son.
I know we can't help but give money to them in some ways, but I try to avoid it as much as possible.
I'm not like people who send money directly to the communists via this game.
You can argue about the futility of my actions, but it is the spirit of resistance versus that of ignorance or even capitulation to these red Chinese devils which defines the difference between you and I.
Fair enough.
I think that it's a futile effort however. You decide to not play those games and spend money on them. You convince other 4 people to do the same. Then whatever American or your country's company strikes a deal with a Chinese one and makes them earn 300 millions. It's completely futile until the higher ups decide that it's time to say no to China, because huh they don't get enough money from them, I guess.
So might as well just play whatever the fuck you want. But even then, these games are average when it comes to gaming, so you can safely ignore them and don't regret it.
I take a Kantian outlook on the issue.
It wouldn't be a just position on my part to insist these companies stop sending money to China if I don't adhere to that principle myself.
It is because I believe all people and corporations large and small should recognise China (and communists) as their enemy and not support them that I do the same.
Didn't play Disco Elysium either because that was also made by communists.
>It is because I believe all people and corporations large and small should recognise China (and communists) as their enemy and not support them that I do the same.
The problem is that nobody does and most adopt my ideology instead. So in the end, they have fun playing games (not the ones mentioned here because rumao) while you just sit in your own righteousness that will amount to nothing.
To be fair, I lost all faith in those things, I think the world is just a boring shade of gray. People just chase trends instead of morals or their own dreams, hence why I think all of this is worthless.
I don't find it easy to part with my morals because it would be convenient for me. Genshin could be the most fun game in the world (objectively) but it wouldn't bring me any pleasure because I would know that for each moment I play I am giving my support to something evil and that just wouldn't sit right with me.
I've talked with other people about avoiding Chinese products as much as possible when given the chance. I'm not famous so can't broadcast myself very far, but I do what I can.
You are right to say it will amount to nothing because I am just one man, but if everyone acted as I did then the problem would be solved.
I take the same stance on microtransactions and such.
>I take the same stance on microtransactions and such.
LOL If fighting the Chinese is fighting evil, fighting those is like fighting fucking Satan himself. Good luck.
Nobody in the world likes microtransactions except people who directly profit from them.
Everyone has the capacity to kill the phenomenon by just refusing to pay for them but people are weak-willed, I suppose.
BLOCKS YOUR PATH
Picture older than some posters here.
That's depressing. I miss when this site wasn't flooded by entitled zoomers with ADHD.
Some of the best devs in the business at the moment. Some of the best games in the industry at the moment.
...and their name is Fromsoftware.
Yup. FROM, Falcom, Mihoyo are all at the top tier. Kojima Studios too.
Genshin waifus are more sexy than Froms
I think it's unbelievable how quickly their quality fell off a cliff the moment they achieved success.
Last 2 years of Genshin have been nothing but reading, zero actual playable content, and terrible character designs that don't even remotely resemble the clean and fresh style of the 1.0 ~ 2.0 characters.
Honkai's designs have similarly fallen off, but not as bad. Similar trend with a TON of reading, which isn't as bad because Honkai's writing style doesn't steal lines from Dora the Explorer and Peppa Pig.
Star Rail is everything wrong with Genshin 3.0 and beyond, it fucking sucks, all the characters look like shit, all the writing is forced meme garbage.
They should be KyoAni'd.
Probably the worst games I've ever played in my life. They are actually insulting.
Feels a bit bland. Copy/pasted character models etc.
But the worst offender is probably the constant dailies and then... nothing else to do. I fucking hate dailies as primary content.

I don't really care for gacha but I don't understand why you hate genshin
it's high quality for free funded by whales
you don't have to pay a cent
Gacha tribalism
Just read this thread
Other gachas hate Genshin because it's popular
Honkaifags hate Genshin because of tribalism and they're mad Genshin is the more popular game so they're constantly trying to prove they're better
Anti-gacha fags hate Genshin because it's the most popular gacha
Anti-China fags hate Genshin also because it's the most popular chinese gacha
I will play Genshart again when they sto making male characters (or at least non-faggy looking males which Genshin has a grand total of 0 right now, MAYBE zhong is alright) and decensor the females.
The game feels pretty pointless for me now, the story sucks and I kept using the same 10 girls for years.
malware
hit and miss, they care more about HI3rd and it shows.
>HI3rd
like the combat the most of all their games. I ust prefer corridor/arena action games over open world any day. even the open world segments are still corridors so I like it.
>genshin
never got into it, fucked my account early as a new player and the plot, characters, aesthetic, and combat never gripped me like HI3rd did.
>honkai star rail
I like that their world design is corridors because fuck open world games, but it's not an action game so I'm just not interested. it plays itself for fucks sake. never got into the plot, none of the characters appeal to me, so star rail isn't for me. that being said, it is the highest quality product mihoyo has put out so far.
tl;dr I like HI3rd the best and I hope mihoyo continues to fund it with the profits from genshin and star rail.
Thoughts on Honkai 2nd or ZZZ?
I'll openly admit I didn't bother with their earlier stuff because that's not even close to what I wanted out of a mobile action game, so of the ones I played I prefer hi3rd.
I meant the new Honkai game (Honkai 2, shouldn't have said "2nd") and ZZZ is a new one
>enter thread
>"nah star rail is not cannibalizing gensh-"
oh
The OP made it obvious it'd be pretty much the average /hsrg/ thread, just Honkai vs Genshin.
Sometimes I wonder if the Honkai posters get paid for shilling their game endlessly
These games are literal slop carried by their music and coombait. Sure, the story may be good but the way they show it in game is fucking garbage.
>their music
Most overrated part of mihoyo's games though
Genshin lacks vocal song like this, with lyrics, right? Because Chinese accent would turn this into terrible gibberish.

I think it' s more because there's lot sof racist people like you, do they are dodging a bullet.
But you're wrong of course.
Does Genshin have a vocal song with lyrics so?
Why should they? They are free to do what they like.
DFO has nice vocal song for Slayer Type B(Despite she wielding zanbato only with 1 hand despite her demonic hand can wield sword seems weird, since type A counterpart should wield short sword with 2 hands sometime despite his twisted arm)
do not reply to the bikini schizo
it's a complete and utter waste of time
He really is a braindead retard.

I thought he was only a bikini asberger. I'm sad to see I was wrong.
>Genshin lacks vocal song like this, with lyrics, right?
Genshin quite literally has an entire boss whose theme gimmick is that it's in Chinese.
They also use songs in French and Latin chorals.
And Star Rail just says fuck it and goes with English.
>coombait.
Cute appreciation /= coom
I tried all the three main games, but Genshin is the only one i'm playing since three years and probably keep playing until the "end".
I dropped HI3 after six months, and while still playing HSR it feels like a chore and i honestly couldn't care less about any character. I'll probably drop that as well in a very short time.
Better than anything on shitch
nah I played both HI3 and Genshin and they're both shit for homosexuals
False, Darren
>Darren
QRD?
Darren is a notorious tendie sperg that's been active for many years. Most famous for creating a really obvious falseflagging persona that he named "eric", where he pretended to be a sony fan. Was finally caught with hard evidence against him just a couple months ago, and has been melting down ever since.
Wow, I knew nintendo fags were unhinged, but that's fucked up

It's always funny when the fans of each of their games ending up fighting each other
Mobiletrash and gacha aren't games and that's all I am aware of them making.

Oh my goddd.... what is this sexy semen doemn?
I thought genshins were supposed to be pure
Chink impact is still anime-weeb but better than most of Japanese anime-weeb
Nikke is better though. How to fap with Genshin if it has no bikini or bath scene for body type B? Sex sells in anime weeb gacha, over gameplay.
Top+GFL are better than Genshin and Burqa archive. Sex sells over Gameplay in anime weebs. Genshin is unfappable for lacking fanservice for body type B like bikini and bath scene, too much push for body type A.
Genshin,Starrail and Zenless zone Zero mogs DMC5, Dark souls 3, Sekiro, MHW, Elden ring, RE4, ToTK into a mediocre shovelware.
Mihoyo kills Japanese game in ease. So they never collab with inferior Japanese IPs unlike some lesser companies, such as Activision,Ubisoft, behavior,valve(Prinny sword in TF2) ,nexon,smilegate,kong studio,shitup,yostar,zilong,netease.
For No Japanese game have higher metascore than genshin since 2021.
En taro Xi Jinping!! My life for China!!
Mihoyo shows that China never kneels to brackrock's ESG, and China never gets woke due to 10000 years of history and adamant tradition and belief.

Not the retarded bikinischizo but HSR has one (1) which is Wildfire

They seem like they might be fun, but I would never know because I don't trust installing them on my PC.

How come China make mutts seethe so much?
It's like if a game doesn't have enough naggers or fat chicks Americans instantly start seething here.
China funded the majority of Baldur’s Gate 3, you can’t call them anti-LGBT when they funded a game filled to the brim with fags, lesbians drag queens and other degenerate shit.
I loved this game to death and pretty much lost my love for it in fontaine
fontaine is really weird...doesnt feel like part of the world and the weird circusy themes, focus on males, and the city itself being garbage just took me out of the game. it doesnt feel like they tried harder, as they should have
and yu-peng chen's music being gone honestly just robs the game of its magic. the experience is not the same anymore.
I feel the opposite, I gave up on the game cause I hate the desert so much, Wet Frenchies saved the game, I feel so happy in the alpine green grass hills.

Dehyer. More combat events please. Abyss is still bad combat content.
I don't even see how combat could be made all that engaging unless they go full musou, which they never ever will
fuck musou crap, more brain dead enemies doesn't make the combat fun.
I was thinking more along the lines of managing a full-scale battle where you have to fight however many mooks, officers + generals to waste, and objectives to complete. Basically something that requires some strategic thought, effectively moving around terrain, etc
Unfortunately it's mobile first so enemies with engaging mechanics will be few and far between. Is the Abyss version of that guy better than the shit during the AQ? Because he folded like a tin can and I was drunk as fuck and barely holding on to consciousness when I fought him
Whale guy will never be in abyss unfortunately since weekly bosses don't go into abyss. It's far more fun doing in the actual weekly than the AQ version but he still dies too fast.
The Hydro Tulpa might make it to abyss and I'm mixed at the thought of it because it has a dash away move that it CAN spam if it wants to and with abyss HP bloat that just seems like RNG hell rather than an actually fun fight. If it didn't have it it's actually fairly dangerous and aggressive with deceptive hitboxes on its moves.
Got way too popular for their own good with Genshin. Now chinks spend their entire life reporting them every day to the CCP for anything and everything which heavily restricts character designs and led to several censored changes, some which for non-CN is at least optional but not all.
Just need more interesting enemies that actually do something. Abyss suck because the main challenge is almost never the enemies themselves, it's the timer.
New whale weekly humanoid enemy inside it is hyper aggressive and actually somewhat enjoyable to fight but it's brief and a bit too heavy on the special effects you can't make out wtf is going on but the game could use more bosses that actually require you to engage with it like that.
They went on my shitlist after censoring seele's panties. Company went to shit after genshin's release.
I don't care for gacha, but I appreciate that they're maybe the only gacha company I can think of that actually funnels their profits back into new projects and increased budgets for said projects. Most game companies would just horde that shit, but their management seems genuinely interested in giving players what they want, even if most of their players are gambling addicts.
>but their management seems genuinely interested in giving players what they want,
I dunno about this, I think most people would like skins and stuff which would benefit Mihoyo as well.
To me it seems like they want to make a good game that they enjoy themselves.
>To me it seems like they want to make a good game that they enjoy themselves.
I also think this is largely the case. The main problem is their designers and writers have godawful taste and it shows.
Yeah I kinda agree there too lol. Also most people would definitely enjoy more playable character stuff but Mihoyo has a huge hard-on for NPCs.
Pretty promising, but current generation of people hated them like how boomers hated Sony in the 70's.
>current generation of people
who?
Ganker tendies?
Genshin is the most popular shit out there, it's beyond normalfag central, Facebook FARMVILLE TIER
I would play Genshin if the combat was more fun and didn't consist of Q/E>swap/Q/E>swap/Q/E>swap/Q/E

it's a game for Chinese children on phones and tablets
the gameplay will never get complex and characters just just get more family friendly

You're just mad because Genshin anons likes cute clothing with nice details and efforts put into them.
You mean the overdesigned trashes meant to completely shield all of woman body parts from view because they're afraid of fujos reporting them to daddy Xi?
>You mean the overdesigned trashes
Don't be like that.
They are cute, and I can tell they put some nice effort into them.
Persona and most Tales games have good stylised character designs, Genshin and Honkai characters look like soulless AI slop in comparison.
But they look Ciute!
Just look at
Tales art is pretty bad, Persona is good because of the unified kind of clean student aesthetic. I'm way too invested into Genshin to give any thoughts on its art, to me it just is what it is.
>Tales art is pretty bad
I disagree, Arise was one of the most aesthetically pleasing games I’ve played over the past while
You quite literally eat shit my dude.
Also Arise is easily the ugliest Tales game. God damn you really eat shit. I hope you're trolling me.
genshin impact created what will be some of the most recognized characters by a generation of gamers worldwide
sorry but persona and shit like that just has no audience in comparison and the designs are very simplistic most of the time
>what will be some of the most recognized characters by a generation of gamers worldwide
Nobody outside of China and a couple of thirdie beaner countries cares about these games, get off your high horse Zhang
I thought Genshin impact was massively popular around the whole world.
They won game of the year last year according to player votes.
it's literally one of the most popular video games of all time lol. it's indisputable too going by the install numbers
Why zhangs and weis like you have funny perceptions of the entire world outside of your bug wall?
But he is right though... Who is going to dethrone queen of dicky anytime soon?
It's an impossible task.
They're the only few gacha games where the characters aren't PNGs or Chibis and you can actually control them, which is good enough for me. Would be nice if nips actually made one.
Nips are too cheap.
Anyone who are greedy chases pozzed western markets like Capcom.
I think FGO had a chance, but they made a beautiful 3D version for arcades instead.
remember in inazuma when there were fun puzzles
:
the game just already peaked
Inazuma puzzles were hit or miss, some were clever but others had entirely moon logic where it was unclear what you were supposed to even do.
kinda felt like there was mistranslated hints.
thats fine there was an attempt
now puzzles are like "hit the clam"
>Approach the new windflute things
>Tutorial pops up on how you have to make them whistle in the right order
>Accidentally hit the bubble right away not knowing about the gimmick of pushing them around
>SOLVED, chest appeared
There was a few later that actually required moving bubbles around but shit like that really make you wonder what the fucking point even is.
they STILL filter ppl because player refuse to read
this is your audience as any game dev
>moon logic
it was just basic math matrices
Inazuma puzzles made me feel retarded
I prefer the find dark orb and touch light orb puzzle
It's over.
The Genshin defence force is too OP. We might as well just pack our bags now, they already won.

Anons who loves young and slender girls, we dining good at every Genshin dailies.
If the term Soulless did not exist, Genshin would have created it.
What's soulless about it?
Chinese has no soul.
China>America
Seethe more.
China is big soul, Anons can't handle big soul
China used to have soul, modern CCP China is anti-soul and any charm Genshin posses comes from mindless copying Japan... which is ironic since they got their soul originally from China a thousand years ago.
It's futile Anon, you have already lost the argument.
Nah.
Genshin is boring after awhile and is made substantially worse by the mmo-tier artifact grind shit. The story and side quests are largely uninteresting but I stopped at Inazuma so it might 'get better' later.
Honkai Impact 3rd is fun but suffers from weird content bloat and being drawn in so many different directions as time has gone on. The main story was nice but I feel off when Kevin appeared and started acting like a fanfic self insert OC. I hear it gets better and that people Yaoi ship Kevin??? but I don't have any will to return.
Star Rail is okay. It ripping off Genshin's UI is almost uncanny but the game has a general undercurrent of trying to 'one up' Genshin in terms of general game design. Kafka is hot. The gameplay is generic gacha rpg mechanic shit but at least it actually tries to be different than FGO-likes. Belobog is neat solely because I'm a sucker for seeing Seele and Bronya be fags and Chink Empire shit was kind of a snoozefest.
I don't play any of them anymore and don't have any intention of changing that anytime soon.
Which game should I start at?
Too late, you've missed too many limited time events.
It's ogre.
Wait til ZZZ next year.
They're connected largely through expy characters and there's no substantial 'lore' that connects any of them at besides some conjecture and speculation. The real originator is GGZ but nobody willingly wants to sit through that. I probably had the most fun with HI3 but it felt insurmountable as a casual player like 4 years ago and it's probably even worse now.
Though I've heard that HSR Welt and HI3 Welt are the same character but I have no idea what the mechanics behind that are.
>but I stopped at Inazuma so it might 'get better' later.
Every time a new region is released I check the general and every other person is seething because they have to get through mountains of dialogue that clearly nobody gives a shit about so they can clear quests.
inachuma was the worst
Is the game still just vertical exploration? I stopped playing in Inazuma because every new zone just had a shit ton of vertical boring exploration.
Just made me miss Mondstadt and Liyue too much.
it's has more now that Sumeru is about 8 times larger than Mondstadt and Liyue combined and most of it underground and cliffs, but they've got regional versions of ziplines and spideman sky slinging
so it's just a whole lot more of everything
after inazuma was chasm which was the most kino crater then cave in vidya, mostly vertical stuff
then sumeru which was a jungle then 3 desert areas, a lot of verticality and caves but lots of horizontal too
now it's fontaine which introduced underwater exploration
Genshin has e-boi dicky.
potatoes are not e-boi
e-boi. dicky.
beautiful 2D art of dicky
in game ugly potatoes
Don't mean.
Painful truth.
e-boi bodies are deformed to look cute to females, not sexy to us.
You're not a real dickyisseur!
You're just a Faker!
Genshit and Japanese anime have lost their own style and everything looks so bland and normal. The problem is that developers want to use old games/formula and repeat yesterday success. The results are always soulless trash.
You don't need skimpy clothing to be attractive and alluring
Look at this. She's cute and sexy.
shut the fuck up fujonoid
Cute!
Post your Sayu anons.
slop in the most unironic use of the term, people who play their games should have fewer rights
Honkeks are buttmad that genshin is more popular
>Honkek's latest character reveal trailer gets only 450k viwws
Meanwhile
>Furina demo gets 6M views
Total honkek annihilation
huohuo is so cute
HSR is chink mobile central, youtube is for dumb burgers who are too stupid for turn BASED games
Look at that SOUL, Star Rails looks so much better then Genhin, damn.
>Popularity contest
>between 2 pajeet's games
Kek
POOSHITTERS have no games tho
Real honkaifags dont give a shit about popularity, falseflagger
That was unbelievably cute!
It's no wonder Genshin is best!
genshin is popular with cute girls
hsr is popular with sweaty ugly dudes
Ugly dude here, I prefer Genshin.
Ugly, fat, middle aged balding dude here. I prefer genshin
lying cute girls
Cute girls have shit taste in games, I'd rather put my faith in sweaty ugly otakus
Is zzz still a dumb 2 button combat ?
Its unironically worse. I tried it on NY con, it basically like genshin but instead of rotating your skill you just mash 1 button
>is it a mobile first game?
yes
Its mobile game, you shouldn't expect a good combat in the first place
Please look forward to Arknights Endfield!
>ugly world
they missed the point at the most basic level.
They alright.
I played Genshin until version 4.1, only missing out on 10 days out of the whole shebang. I played Star Rail until two weeks ago. Both game's main stories are bad, but their side stories are way more enjoyable Too bad you can't skip cutscenes.
I wished they'd come out with a true traditional game InB4ThatAnimalCrossingKnockOff as the talent is there within the company, but a lot of them are held back due to the gacha nature of their games, which is a shame.
gacha isn't the big problem, the game being mobileshit is
It's just a different strategy. Being compatible with mobile means you can have better economy, and use that for even bigger projects later on.
yeah, but it limits what you can do from a gameplay perspective
Being mobileshit is good for zelda, but bad for other games. Curious.
ITT
I find it amusing that honkeks and genshitters are constantly feuding despite being from the same dev, as if one beating the other revenue-wise means instant EoS
It's just one guy that's stirring up shit.
Is it a good idea to play both?
Genshin is good, their other stuff is okay.
Westbros our response?
>spiderman w/o the gay
CHINA WON
Spiderman for straight men
It's literally over for the west!!!
I kneel
I will now play a Spiderman game other than Spiderman 2 (PS2).
>our response?
M-maybe we really don't a response!!!!!
>anime GTA spiderman
what's the catch???
oh, gacha garbage made by chinks
It's over.
China is too OP now. Using unity engine to its fullest on anime games.
And using UE5 for realistic genres.
Gachas are EVOLVING
This is going to end up like Saints Row 4.
Who is going to drive a car where you have to follow the road, avoid other cars, and go around building, when you can just swing through the city? A city which is not even hand made procedurally generated by the way...
you'll be suprised how many things in games are procedurally generated
Chinks coming up with an original idea for their gacha scams instead of stealing from other games challenge (impossible)
they don't have to be original, just not pozz their games up like westoid israelites, it's just that simple
Mihoyo? that sound like "My Hole" sir, that's fucking gay
very gay 😉
They are siblings? Because if that's case then I'm starting to like it
he has a twin (female)
Yeah but is siblingfucking yes or not
it's mobile game made by commie chinks, what do you think?
Well... They travelled together for thousands of years. They also have fighting styles that cover each others blindspots. Finding your twin is a central force moving story forward. "Home is when we're together". Almost hysterical yearning when as much as a possibility of being reunited arises.
In my book, they're lovers.
Nice incestlore
Wincest.
Honkeks are getting desperate today lmao
You will never be able to replace genshin in popularity
Tried HI3 and just got confused at how many currencies and game modes and menus and submenus and submenus that had submenus there were.
Tried Genshin like everyone else, the best part is the environments they create and explore. But post-Inazuma I was getting sick of it and fell off. Easily the worst part I remember is the pacing, holy FUCK is that game in need of a skip button
A blessing or a curse. I only play mihoyo's games, which mean I'm free after 1 hour of gaming. Long gone are those days of several hours of gaming.
I like Impact and I like my void queen, I stopped playing Genshin and have yet to start Star Rail or any of their other games.
finally completed "to the stars shining in the depths"
that was the worst archon quest in the history of the game and one of the worst quests overall
part 4 isn't any better. they are like one single long slog
part 5 is good at least
>there are actual, unironic defenders of Mihoyo's wordslop
>Anons defend their wiafus' honour
>tune in for more shocking Ganker news
READ NIGGA, READ
Nigga I've been reading, i read through Umineko recently and it's just words on ths screen. But after 5 minutes of Genshin's writing I immediately get drowsy.
Shit taste nigga
Genshin's peak doesn't even reach Umineko's lows, nigga.
>burnt another dozen fragiles farming artifacts and got nothing worth keeping
This is agonizing
>farming
ok I just started playing Genshin and I want the Jean chick but apparently characters are changing every patch, are you telling me it's impossible to get old character? what kind of gacha is system is that?
Jean is a standard 5 star, you can get her at any time. Your best bet is to reroll until you do get her, but ideally you should reroll for her and Furina if you want to start now
Banners rerun all the time, but some characters have no banner. Google if Jean has her own banner, if she doesn't you're double fucked and she's in the standard pool which can be accessed via blue wishes (do not buy them with primogems) or if you fail your 50/50 on current banner char.
*just do your newbie pulls, get your 5 star, and reroll your account if it's not jean
Whenever I consider going back to Genshin, I remember motherfucking paimon and how fucking loud she is. I might play another mihoyo game if it doesn't have an annoying goblin that repeats everything
Star Rail has a mascot character but he isn't involved in the main story so all the dialogue is spoken by actual characters instead of Paimon repeating everything, being surprised by stuff, or talking about food for the 80th time this patch
I love star rail, its a mini star ocean, but its too slow sadly though mihoyo has been juggling like 5 different gachas
I don't want to touch the chink gacha spyware with a hundred feet pole
Thoughts on ZZZ? I like what I'm seeing but Project Mugen got a more appealing idea
Also they made Paimon the villain in that game kek
>>Also they made Paimon the villain in that game kek
She is too lewd now
Anons will fap
>Thoughts on ZZZ
I'm going to be playing it for Ben and no other reason.
We need more AAA quality gacha games that absolutely mog western woke garbage. nu-/v/edditors are going to be completely mindbroken.
I vaguely remember another chink gacha like Gencshin (open world exploration) but set in post-apo world.
Does anyone know the name of this game? Is it still in development?
Arknights Enfield? Wuthering Waves?
The latter.
I like Genshin overall. It has its problems (though I don't particularly mind the text), but I enjoy it for what it is, especially the exploration. Tried Star Rail for a bit as well and while I like certain aspects, such as the turn-based system being rather anemic (not that Genshin is a brainmelter, but elements+movement make for some amusing possibilities) and it doesn't have the exploration aspect that can keep me playing Genshin.
There's also the fact that since Tingyun's death established that playable characters can die, I lost a lot of my interest for the character. I know the mantra is "playable characters dying is good because it makes the story more mature", but it also eliminates them from the story afterwards, whereas other characters can remain to appear in events and possibly other story content, so I have very little incentive to ever care about that. I know this is more of a personal issue, but gacha is predicated on getting you interested in characters, so I don't think I'm being unreasonable with this.
Genshin is currently the only gacha game with actual gameplay that's fun enough. Downsides are bad writing, homo pandering and a severe lack of a skip dialog function. They other games suck, I tried all of them but they're typical gacha non-games.
chink slop for low IQ masses
I feel like they set a new standard for how to treat premium currency. I hear teenagers getting excited about just getting 4 stars in that game and they save for a year just for a 10% chance to get a 5 star. Its baffling and stupid how much they lowered gacha player's expectations.Even FGO wasn't that bad.
Needs furry mommies. I will not stop saying that in every survey
Their games are trash, all of the "big" ones just rely on copying other existing games, as chinese do.
They cant write for shit, neither story nor characters
They cant design for shit, they make the same characters over and over again. And I'm not even reffering to things like multile Bronyas
best company in the world
*only if you like sucking dicks
Mihoyo kills Japanese games in ease.
Japan used to make some great games like persona 5,dark souls 3,FFXIV,FF7R,BoTW,Animals crossing,Sekiro,Nier Automata,Xenoblade 2,DE,Super smash bros ult, Lost judgement, Nioh 2,Like a dragon 7,MH world,RE 7, Judge eyes,Death stranding and DMC5,(according to metacritics)
from 2017 to early 2020, but how can they fall so soon and gets mogged by Hoyoverse and Neowiz so easily, for having no good game with metascore higher than genshin since 2021?
Lies of P, Genshin,Starrail and Zenless zone Zero mogs DMC5, Dark souls 3, Sekiro, MHW, Elden ring, RE4, ToTK into a mediocre shovelware.
Even worse, Neowiz didn't even had knowhow to make console games and didn't poach Japanese or western devs, mogging any Japanese console games by only Koreans.
No wonder why Japanese devs have inferiority complex on genshin so that they used their budget mostly on manipulated metacritics like TLOU2 and cyberpunk by bribing critics in Elden ring and Xenoblade 3.
At least we West still makes good game like Avowed, MS flying sim, D4 and OW2,Halo infinity, AoE4,Elder scrolls 6,STARFIELD,Modern warfare 3, BG3,Mortal Kombat 1, Marvel's spiderman 2,Remnant 2.
BG3 and Starfield are genshin destroyers.
Phil Fish was right. Japan has no where to stand in gaming.
What is left in Japan?
Anime? Solo leveling is AOTS next year and China makes them better.
Comics? Korea makes them better,Webtoon.
Game? Mihoyo and Neowiz mogs any Japanese game in ease. Even Elden ring,Sekiro,MHW,DMC5,RE4,ToTK.
And for hardware, Steam deck outsold Switch even in Japan.
Porn? Banned from Japan by new law on AV.
Japan is nothing!!! But Area 11(11番倭人特別自治道)of Korea and China!!! Hallyu and Zhong liu(China wave) blows upon Japan!!
En Taro Admiral Yi. En Taro Xi Jinping. My life for Seoul. My life for Peking.
Japanese games are dead. The time is for Mihoyo.
Any Japanese game since 2021 with higher metascore than Genshin?
And Mihoyo never collabs with inferior Jap IPs, unlike some lesser companies like Activision, Ubisoft, Epic,Yostar,Nexon,Valve.
>>how do you feel about mihoyo and their games?
>Chinese communist state aids spyware hiv cancer factory
this pasta is bad enough to make me think a zeldafag posts it to falseflag
It is
Most genshin threads are instant banned but this one
Also he larps as a Mihoyofag and he doesnt know about Evangelion and Promare in Honkai, Aloy in Genshin and Zombieland for Honkai Gakuen kek
Aloy? It is Superior Western IP.
Most agree that Genshin's Aloy looks better than Man-Aloy. Too bad she plays like trash.
>Promare in Honkai
The half assed gurren lagann copy for homos? Fitting when you consider mihomo track record
Aloy is American IP. Not Jap IP.
Tartalia(originally Paimon but body type A will have less possibility to be problematic so) hanging Jap fag on right(showing China never kneels to Wokism). Mask, katana, shield represents persona 5,DMC 5, Zelda. Which means that Mihoyo kills Jap games in ease, even finest ones like
DMC5, Dark souls 3, Sekiro, MHW, Elden ring, RE4, ToTK are no match for Genshin. All mediocre shovelware slop in front of Genshin.
Hi zeldafag
I doubt it, SEAmonkey genshit players are really that dumb
>Porn? Banned from Japan by new law on AV
ss-s-source?
Koreans being vocal about New law on AV of Japan. But why do Western Chud weebs don't grieve on this? Does Western weeb not like JAV that much?
Maybe because japs porn full of mosaic censorship.

No matter what, any game they make won't be recognized on a critical level. No one's goty will be Genshin or Star Rail because they have gatcha implemented.
Even if these games had the best gameplay, music, and story, it is impossible for there be a moment where Geoff Keighly to 'the award goes to Star Rail" or something. That's reserved for $70 retail games. Not to mention, last time Genshin was mentioned, they mispronounced it as Jenshin. No one gives a fuck other than the people who play their games.
GOTY is a western award reserved for consoles, simple as.
1. Genshin was never best of any year
2. Even if it was, chinks don't pay into ecosystem enough to be recognized by the clique
Consoles are only ~25% of the entire game industry
Is Steam not big in game market either? Genshin is not on steam, which is the best game platform for being a spyware.
Steam is part of PC, they have their ecosystem of indies, asshomosexuals etc and console ports.
Genshin straddles them all, actually, being available on mobile, console (sony) and pc, but is consodered a mobile game since that is the where Mihoyo started, remains and where most of players base are.
Most of the player base is PC. The game is near unplayable on mobile. But for all intents and purposes, it's classified as mobile.
Why is Genshin not on steam, the best platform for gaming?
Because many gachas choose egs like good retards
Their loss
But Honkai is in Steam.
Timmy stopped paying
Genchink and HSR will join once EGS money runs out.
Too late though also probably no account link
I tried Honkai when it came out in Eng, it was shit then, it's shit now.
Models are sexy tho.
There is no reason to, they don't focus on PC, don't befit from Steam since they are already established as mobile devs in China and had enough advertising budget for Genshin.
Mihoyo is on Epic games store, despite Tencent being deadly rivals in China so they'd rather take Timmy's money than give 30% to Gaben.
>Most of the player base is PC
Got any source on that?
Perhaps in the west (Americas + Europe), but I thought it was pretty clear almost everybody in Asia plays on phones.
Western, European, and Japanese publications snub gacha games on principle. I have no idea about China, but I imagine anything there is government mandated and has no human opinion involved. Genshin literally only exists and subsists on the Internet.
>snub gacha games on principle
as you should, there are countless shit app that appear and disappear overnight, but most of all, they don't pay for ads in traditional media
reminds me of that situation when avatar and hurt locker were nominated in the best picture category, avatar didn't stand a chance but I doubt people who watched it and especially those who made it and capitalized on it felt bad.
Genshin, as a live service game, hasn't done anything remotely interesting since it was released 3 years ago.
Either they pay metric ton of money to apple or vice versa. I never see anime game got shilled so hard by apple.
They market their games extremely hard, which is why their playerbases are filled with normalfags with no standard.
They love to larp as VN devs, while having worse QoL than actual VNs. I don't know how anyone can tolerate the slow text speed and the unskippable animations that prevent you from advancing dialogue.
