Don't know the comments but i'm guessing it amerimutt crybabies seething over the pull rates
tbf 0.2% is ridiculous
People see the prices, and that 100$ gets you only 50% chance to get a 5-star character and leave, not knowing that you can farm a metric ton of premium currency in game in a matter of days
The rule of thumb is to never expect to get anything before the pity pull.
>muh pity
it takes like 100 rolls.and you have 50% chance to get shit from the pity.
HARD pity you fucking gay, why discuss the game if you don't have a clue?
>hard pity
that thing is as hard as your dick
>projecting his erectile disfunction
>AI fag
kys
At least I can still get hard to something other than porn
It takes 80 rolls
And you have 50% to get what you want or another 5* character that you can use on a different build and kill shit just as fast
You'll be fine as long as it's not Dehya
And then 100% for the banner character after that
The only thing I actually detest when it comes to Genshin is the weapon banner
If something's predatory, it's that
Still, it's baby mode compared to some other gachas
Yeah it's shit, but it has hard pity now too
Weapon banner has lower hard pity and soft pity though. So it balances out. It used to be garbage but with epitome it's not bad.
Again the real difference is that even if you miss it rolls over to the next banner.
In blue archive if I only roll 199 times out of 200 and the banner closes I lose all of it. Nothing carries over.
It is, but my point is that most people critical of gachas forget that the games are much more than just slot machines and basing your entire view on that aspect only is retarded
>most people critical of gachas forget that the games are much more than just slot machines and basing your entire view on that aspect only is retarded
slot machines aren't games, they're money sinkholes.
Unless you are a marketer of the competition you shouldn't care what people do with their time
It has hard pity unlike a lot of gacha games, which means characters are guaranteed if you have white male planning skills
>if you have white male planning skills
demanding this of players is evil and predatory
>Omfg it takes only 480 (192 with welkin) days of doing dailies to guarantee a 5* from a banner.
I don't see any reason why someone sane would waste so much time of his life on a game just to get one character so far down the line that could be dead on arrival or powercrept
Come in here and tell lies without even reading the thread it doesn't even take 3 months to guarantee 1 character and people can even get them early
>source:my ass and this graph of dubious origins
I mean, you don't even play this game, so how would you know?
60 primos every day from dailies
90 primos every day from welkin
150 primos every day with both
one wish costs 160 primos
Pity is at 90 wishes
90*160 = 14400 primos
50-50 to get a character so need 14400*2 = 28800
Days with Welkin 28800/150 = 192
Days without Welkin 28800/60 = 480
Let's say you hit pity at 80 instead
80*160 = 25600
Days with Welkin 25600/150 = 170
Days without Welkin 25600/60 = 426
You are basically saying "Just be lucky bro".
Don't forget all the primos from events, abyss, exploration when new areas open up and so on.
It's even better if we talk about new players. Has anyone calculated how many free rolls you get from doing all the permanent content?
The total amount for a new player is seriously like 40k gems at this point.
People never hit 90 wishes and rarely hit 80. The average pull rate for 5 stars is 75.
It's actually good compared to shit like fgo unless you just want to pull every uninspired piece of trash they push out. Right now I have enough free stones to guarantee 2 banner characters even in the worst case scenario
The only problem is some of the characters literally never get put on a banner so you can't pull for them.
>It's been almost two years since the last Geo banner
Dongli never ever
I've spent about 10$ on this game a year ago and not a single cent more and I have all the characters I want
The gacha in this game is fair as fuck to the f2p player and if you think you are ever forced to spend money then you're fucking braindead retarded
>tbf 0.2% is ridiculous
It isn't when you factor in pity.

nintendies being upset a F2P game outclassed zelda
tendies seething
rent free
Basically critics focus on on gameplay etc and mostly ignore the gacha parts. Actual players recognize how shitty and predatory the gacha mechanics are.
the critics probably get free 5 stars as well
Why exactly the gatcha is "predatory" when you can finish basically all content in the game except maybe spiral abyss with just the free characters and the game has no multiplayer?
Because you're paying money for a "chance" to get what you want
How much you would have to spend to actually get what you want is unknown
How is that not scummy?
gambling has been around since the dawn of time
it's not that it isn't scummy, it's just part of our society in general
do you also throw a fit over someone telling you that they enjoy playing roulette? after all it's also just a "chance" of winning
Nta but you are not paying for shit, you have enough content to get enough primos to pull like 300 times
Paid online is worse
>How much you would have to spend to actually get what you want is unknown
It is known, it's just a very big sum. I think it's like 30 bucks for 10 pulls or something retarded like that, and the maximum pulls you need for x character is 180, although in most cases it'll be closer to 150-160. But yeah if you're starting from zero tries you'll potentially spend like 200 bucks on the character. But apparently some people actually pay those kinds of sums
Whats with this forced roastie drama? You play a little, get some pullings and if you didn't get what you want then just wait again or just make better use of what you get
>defending gacha
If I spend 60 bucks on gacha what's wrong with that?
What's the difference between spending 70 to 100 bucks on a switch or playstation game? I don't get it.
The problem is that you have money to spend while someone else doesn't
But Genshin is free, completable with the free characters and gives you plenty of free wishes. So if you don't have money to spend you don't have to.
Meanwhile if I want to play a playstation game I have to spend money on it.
my point was that it's the simple act of envy on account of some people who incessantly complain about whales and P2W
the very concept of financially supporting what you enjoy is foreign because many don't have that luxury
I might agree but Genshin isn't p2w and whales are the primary ones complaining about the game because the company has said they will not cater to them. Mihoyo has said repeatedly that the game is for casual players and not whales. This is why you see a lot of former Genshin whales promoting Star Rail because the Honkai side of the company love to cater to whale players and provide content f2plays cannot deal with. Very different to the Genshin side of the company.
Nah whales just spend, tendies are the ones pretending f2p players don't exist
Any new player has enough content to pull like 5 5 stars by now
Not really true. When Genshin did an article with some gamer mag, they said they wouldn't be catering to endgame content and whale accounts. The response was primarily from youtube content creators like Mtashed and Tectone who turned on the game. They still cry and seethe about Genshin being for casuals to this day.
Not incompatible. Nintendo has marketers here so they seethe at it too
See?
Genshin absolutely is for casuals, that's why it's the most successful videogame ever made
This
Dropped it during inazuma and came back this year, got enough drops and got Nahida. Pretty sure casuals even enjoy to see what they get and see what they can do
I could understand if it was Epic Seven shit but genshin is easy as fuck
I'm a f2p fag though
Whales don't actually spend for a chance. They spend for garantees since with the pity system every 90 pulls is a garantee 5 star. F2p farm the currency ingame and conserve it for the character they want. Trust there is less gambling going on in mihoyo games that in shitty western lootboxes games.
Because the "gameplay" in gacha blows and people play them for the girls which are locked behind grind and mtx
>gacha
Do you think all gachas have the same gameplay?
When it's not a shitty flashgame you have some moron arpg shit where you whack brainless mobs while the screen explodes in numbers and particles to make you think you're playing a videogame
You've just shown that all gachas don't have the same gameplay. You understand that right?
>we care about this we swear
People are selfish, you are just mad nintendo didn't make a huge gacha and your nintendo pornbait threads have free competition now
now show us the gacha version.
Oh wait!!!!You cant!!!!This website doesn't allow images bigger than 4mb!!!
Gachafags know what they want
Tendies pretend they are not just mad that their BUY HER GAME doesn't work anymore
>tendie so nervous he posted twice
Lmao, difference is gachafags know they are coomers and mind their own business while you shill for nintendo games using coom pics and get mad that people can just download some gacha id they just want to collect waifus
it's called art moron
Gacha unless you are a whale it's free
Nintendo promotes paid online and expensive games and 99% if your threads are drama or porn spam
>paid games are somehow worse than gacha
wut
Paid online is cancer since you are already paying your own internet
Swallowing 70$$$ games will just bring you 90 dollars games in the future
>mods never remove these because they are tendie games
BlackRock garden gnome shills own Ganker now
Sounds like you have no idea wtf you're talking about. Just fuck off retard
Actually at this point we have enough free shit to do spiral abyss due to dendro being useful
But i know what you mean
just sent shivers down my spine thinking about the meta shift in 4.0
... they can't take back dendo... so it'll be fine, right?
>focalors puts down a field that slowly kills you unless you have dehya
Where were you when Dehya became meta?
lmao "critics" play games on easy mode. of course a braindead buttonmasher with nice graphics gets high rates. the gameplay is dogshit.
Remember to ignore the derailers!
Game's ok but I just can't recommend it on clear conscience. The gacha mechanics like stamina and time-gated quests really sour the entire experience. I'm surprised no one out there has bothered making a decent team builder / elemental combat clone.
MOOOOM, TENDIES GETTING FILTERED AGAIN!
The real answer is that Genshin on it's 1st anniversary gave people very mediocre rewards. Usually when a Gacha has an anniversary it showers it's players with rewards. But Genshin didn't. There was a huge upcry in the community and both it's metacritic and app store reviews were review bombed.
The same people who were mad didn't stop playing the game though and active players continues to increase.
>Critically acclaimed
>Normalfags hate it
nice
Nintendies pretty much control anonymous online opinions, they cant do that on steam since you actually need to have the game and the hours and achievements appear

Im sure thats whats happening now, 8 after that screenshot was taken.

The game functions
But it falls off
Fuck grinding talents, god the mondstat domain is such a pain in the ass.
ignore derailers pls
>bring a place that's just fanboys reviewbombing the competition
You never had good intentions
>still makes billions every month
>impotent mutts lash out because they are being replaced
Why does nobody mention hard pity in these threads? It BTFOs the "it's predatory gambling" argument instantly.
Most gachas have hard pity but it's no where near as good as Genshins. Really though the thing that sets Genshin as non predatory compared to other Gachas is pity rolling over between banners. I've played a lot of Gachas and none of them do that.
>game lets you choose exactly which character you want
but the fact that you can get it early means it is evil and predatory
So true, I hate it when I save my daily rolls and only end up having to use 1/3 of them
Buy an AR10 account with your desired characters for 5 bucks on facebook marketplace and enjoy the game at your own pace without caring about gacha shit forever??
>It BTFOs the "it's predatory gambling" argument instantly.
In what way? The guarantee pity is still like 75~ish rolls, 150 if you fail. That's a lot of primogems in-game considering your renewable source of primogems is essentially only 60 from dailies and 450 from biweekly abyss clears.
Of course the real hidden predatory part isn't the 5* character or the weapon banner. It's trying to a specific 4* from a group of three on banner. Especially if you're trying to build constellation, goodluck trying to do that without popping the pity you'd much rather save for another banner.
Considering a free to play player gets 75 per patch cycle (100 if you are a welkin player) and characters leak an entire patch or two in advance, it really isn't.
>grinded for 500 hours per month
>Won't even get a full 10 pull
kek
Are you retarded? It literally says 74 on the image. Dailies take like 5-10 minutes.
>74
>not 75
Bad faith brainlet
>estimated income
>just like a job
kek
this is such a weak cope, anon
do better
no u
>"74 is less than 10"
they're not sending their best
>grind
bro, exploring and doing quests is 90% of that, you know, playing the game. The rest is...
>5min dailies you do before exploring
>15 min spiral abyss biweekly
You get events that gives you like 500 primos every month, also you can get 1800 primos doing 5 minutes dailies if you really already finished the current story
Which part of the story are you in and how many characters did you get? Unless you are a pathetic doomer addicted to "yous" and forced drama
alrighty, gotta watch the 6 hour twitch streams so that I can get 200 precious gems.....
Which twitch? Also you didnt reply
Dude you are throwing stuff at the wall, I wake up 12 hours after the stream ends and just paste codes, from my phone.
You only need the codes you can find anywhere, retard
I'll accept that I forgot about the paimon shop fates, but half of that stuff on that list isn't "free". Daily checks in are ass, and shouldn't be expected of players. Web events are horrendous and shouldn't be expected of players. Only good web event was the fish grilling one. Chest and exploration you can just cut in half too. I doubt much of the player base even tries to 100% regions anymore either.
Events this patch have been horrible to play through but i'll probably concede people still do them for the primos anyways. But even with your full listed amount, that still isn't enough to get 1 copy of the 5* character on average. And dream on if you're trying to C6 a specific new 4* character with that amount.
>Only good web event was the fish grilling one.
Okay, let's subtract
80 from checkins
100 from web events
600 from half exploration (I'd say most players get around 75% of any region done without trying though)
That's still 70 rolls in a 42 day period, which I think is fine if you pay attention to leaks. The entire Fontaine roster leaked a literal year before it was set to release, for example.
Fontaine when?
2 patches away, so approximately 84 days
are archon banners available the moment their areas are added?
Depends on how they've written the story
Inazuma was on 2.1
Sumeru was on 3.2
I'd say the likelihood of it being on 4.0 is low because they usually have a lot of launch characters
At least I'll manage to save up for her after pulling for Alhaitham after Yoimiya and Yae
That's not bad, I just reinstalled after a years absence so that gives me time to explore Sumeru
>one of the most popular games on planet earth
>2933 ratings
That site barely matters, there are two types of genshin players on the internet, the normalgay (as in becky the accountant intern not your roblox addicted cousin) and kpop tier fangirl. None of them care about those gaming review sites as it has 0 relevance to these people. Like how nobody knew about the TGA players voice poll until people started posting violent edits against genshin (which was actually doing pretty well by itself even tho this event was for the gamer dudebro crowd grrr I hate anime and chinks and gacha!!) on social media... the realm of kpop stacies... The rest is history.
Gaming review sites are becoming more useless, people already moved on and have their own groups
is there any big modern release where this doesnt apply?
metacritic is now a place for console/culture wars and everything gets review bombed and counter review bombed, all reviews are either 0 or 10
wait.. THIS is the game Ganker keeps telling me is better than Zelda? lol, i didn't know it was THAT bad.
It's already more succesful than Zelda
maybe if the scores were flipped, but this is USER rated.. that means YOU lol. that's just sad
gamers fairly reviewing this trash for what it is
genchinnk trannnies seething hard as usual
Lategame content is fucking Artifact grinding
Artifact grinding is entirely rng
Abyss is timegated so the only way to beat it is Artifact grinding for DPS
Only challenging boss is Azdhada
These threads are evidence that 80% of Ganker users comment on games they've never played and don't even have the bare minimum amount of information on
Grandpas shilling for nintendo games just hate competition
tendies mad it blew the fuck out of botw and totk
a certain skin color makes very sore losers
now show the positive review.
Yeah, I am not sure that Xx_GENSHINZONGLIFAN1040_xX 's 10 paragraph of praises and a perfect 5 is not biased.....
>Raiden & Beidou still broken
>Raiden can't proc E on Abyss or Slime shields
How good we had it back then. Now we have characters like Dehya who doesn't work with Beidou, XQ or Yelan AND doesn't have her E proc if enemies are shielded too.
Mobile game
genshin impact is fuckin gay
>2993 ratings
That is... actually nothing when you consider how big this game is.
Also, Is there a point to showing Metacritic scores in the year 2023? The score is only spontaneously influenced because of the lack of ratings or just review bombing.
not everyone is willing to leave a 10 paragraph comment on metacritic anon
The length was never an issue; it was the content.
The problem with Metacritic, or these sites in general, is that you'll see a lot of people giving scores of 0 or 10 with little reasoning or explanation.
check the comment in this one.People are being mad because they played the game and found it flawed.
they are not afraid to give genuine criticisms about the core of the game.
I did check. The majority of the complaints are related to the fact that it is a gacha. Which is understandable. The resin cap, spiral of abyss, the inflated but lack of chest rewards from exploration, and the RNG system for domains and artifacts.
Are essentially just loopholes to increase your playtime. But I wouldn't consider it to be flawed, just really predatory.
yeah.Worked perfectly as the devs intended.Still disgusting but definitely not flawed
>The majority of the complaints are related to the fact that it is a gacha. Which is understandable. The resin cap, spiral of abyss, the inflated but lack of chest rewards from exploration, and the RNG system for domains and artifacts.
No complaints for endless unskippable filler text?
Literally the worst part of the game. Even in the main story, outside the Dainsleif abyss stuff, there's not many times I can say that reading wasn't a waste of time
Probably because unskippanle text still takes a LOT less longer than the grinding and farming of a poorfag playing gacha. Understandably so since most people aren’t fucking gambling addicts.
Reviewers don't have to keep up with the game so they just played a bit at launch, gave the review and moved on.
Everyone else has seen Genshin get worse and worse with time as the dialogue gets wordier, the world gets larger and emptier forcing the devs to add teleports everywhere for you to move around, everything in the world gets connected to a world quest so there's no point in exploring since you have to be handheld through everything in quests, the new characters are boring, and the story also gets worse.
That and Genshin is also extremely stingy, saving for months to get one (1 (UNO)) character isn't fun, even more so if they're designed to essentially need their 5* weapon to work properly.
It's baffling how people keep complaining about the dialogue when the skip mod is right there
Just don't use other features and you're golden
>skip mod
enjoy your permaban
>t. fearmonger
Been using it for half a year now, alongside 20 other mods, like the ingame interactive map, and still haven't been banned
>you will be eventually
2 more weeks
>trust me bro
The only ban reports you'll ever see are from very early on when they used to directly modify the game files, or if someone was dumb enough to post a modded screencap without cropping out their UID and got reported
But you do you, anon
I have unironically never seen a single person that enjoyed this game who wasn't:
>A woman
>Super effeminate gay male
>game is shit
>but the Chinese government paid 20 "professional" reviewers
No big mystery here.
>not a new IP
Literally my first post in this thread, Chang. Your bot's glitching out again.
seething honk slop rail reviews
Genshit probably did something to piss off it's userbase? it's gachashit so it's kind of expected that the user score can change. I have no idea really, but i assume it has something to do with developer choices on their business model.
Ngl I am amazed that gacha shit can get above 80. I actually play gacha game and there is no way in hell Genshin is up there with other PC games that also got an 84 like Enter the Gungeon, Sonic Mania, Risk of Rain 2, Hotline Miami.
Genshin is the most shallow BotW clone there is. It's playable, sure, but there is no meaningful content in the entire game. Maybe you get one good exploration puzzle in each zone but in no fucking way does that get you a better score than Prey (2017)
Because it's a shitty mobile game that is designed to use tedium and grind to drain the wallet of the fools that retarded enough to play it
It's not that hard to understand that
>P.S. removed the game at rank 45 after update 1.1. The last straw was the introduction of an item to drain excess resin.
One of the reviewers quit because of condensed resin?
>Weak Inazuma character (Baal and Kokomi) Get what you deserve. 0/10
Of the gacha I’ve played, which admittedly isn’t that many. Arknights is worse than Genshin because there is no guarantee whatsoever on banners except for the limited banners that have a 300 pull spark which takes a f2p like 6-7 months to save up for.
Which way, white man?
Pretty good weapon banner if it wasn't for The Flute.
There's also this as an event exclusive
shame about it being attack% again
Waiting for Kazuha
Any leaks about the banners after that?
He'll be in the next one alongside Alhaitham
3.8 already teased by Hoyo to be Eula & Kokomi
The new zelda came out so there's no reason to stick with the gacha ripoff anymore
NintoddIers seething
The recent 3.x patch is hogshit and completely mismanaged by a dyke and a cuck. Players are getting pissed and recent leaks don't seem to show that it will improve. Mihoyo basically abandoned the game in favor of HSR.
They're giving HSR time to grow. Fontaine is in 2 patches and will be a huge release.
>Ganker is defending gacha now
Oh how the times have changed!
Ganker has always defending and worshiped Valve, the company responsible for popularizing lootboxes, early access, gambling and more to the west
Are Las Vegas casinos also gacha to you?
Everything with % success is
Upgrading items in MMO's is also gacha apparently, since it's a low % chance to succeed
Unless we've cracked the code to monetizing big games, threads like this will forever remain
>gacha is bad because it's predatory and immoral and-
holy GOD i dont fucking care, i will continue to pull for women
If you have self control and just play it for the content it's 84.
If you have autism and gambling addiction it is 4.1.
review bombing by seething tendies
Genshin is a 11/10
Seething Tendiemuttcels not only they failed at bringing down genshin it sold more than their kiddie shit games
Genshin sucks but it is a bit suHispanicious how 99% of those reviews come from accounts who only ever left a single review on the site.
