They don't. Even disregarding the grind, trash monetization and gacha shit neither the narrative or gameplay is good.
It doesn't help that the characters you play as are the blandest shit.
For me the narrative isn't too bad but has the Skyrim effect, where dialogue is shit and the most interesting pieces of lore are found in books around the world
is this worth checking out? i tried playing it and the combat seems like shitty Ys but the lore sounds cool
Even if the lore was genuinely good you would still be playing a fricking gacha so you would have to wait for each update to further progress through the story. Love yourself a little and don't play gachas, if you want your time wasted meaninglessly you are better off playing a fricking MMO.
i'm a ludopath though
Then play Yu-Gi-Oh irl or through master duel
by catering to coombrains like you
Not an rpg
They released mediocre game while everyone else spews garbage. Not poisoning it with woke bullshit also helps. One-slint-eyed rules among the blind.
It's not, you are too deep into severe brain damage that you are a few days away from transitioning. Genshit is one of the most trash and superficial Japanophile bait ever, it took all the trends and executed them in the most shallow ways. The only good part of it can be done with Google search.
Wrong board
Probably because it's just a fine game to play even if you don't intend to spend a dime on it. As a normal or casual player, that is.
manages to be the best modern JRPG
Literally how?
>worse story
>worse enemy variety
>worse bosses
They didn't.
The gacha can be completely ignored and it will virtually not affect your experience
With that said, most characters are bland anime tropes in terms of personality, the main character doesnt have meaningful dialogues and choices are non-existent. The main quest is rushed and poorly explained at times. Combat is lackluster, but considering it's an exploration driven game it's not bad
The lore is surprisingly good though, with lots of attentions to details
>The gacha can be completely ignored and it will virtually not affect your experience
Factually wrong.
As with all of these types of games, be they on console or mobile, they're intentionally designed to only crank up the grind and tedium once you've ivnested enough time in it.
These types of games are filled to the brim with dark patterns that will psychologically manipulate you without you even knowing it.
So someone going to bat for these games just makes you come across as an absolute fool, even if you do so unknowingly.
There's a reason why free to play games with monetization tied to convenience makes the most money and is the "best" pricing model and it all ties into psychological manipulation.
Feel free to actually base your argument with in-game examples, showing that you have actual knowledge of how Genshin Impact's gacha system works, instead of just repeating the same broadly generalizing comment every the word gacha is mentioned
I'm not talking about gacha, I'm talking about Genshin Impact
>Gacha can be completely ignored
I hate this argument. The game is still designed literally around the gacha. Want some cool character? You gotta pull and spend.
People nowadays call this being entitled but frick what the general public thinks.
What's even there after exploration? Artifact grinding? Oh boy, sure is fun literally doing the same fricking thing over and over on the phone like it's a PC game.
Considering this is considered the "gold standard for AAA gaming going forward" from unironically every social media, I'm ready to just eject out of gaming entirely.
Frick it. I didn't care at all to play this when it was really popular but I'll give it a try
>maintenance till tomorrow
welp
nvm it's a boring children's game. Thanks for nothing OP

Same way FFXV sold more than a lot of games despite releasing half finished or why a lot of WRPG fans cry about how their shit doesn't sell at all:
>A shit ton of marketing
