Sounds like you want to be cucked anon.
Dogshit weeb f2p gacha grindfest. Other than making it a moba I couldn't make the game worse if I tried
I wish I could grind this game instead of waiting for timers.
Do they still force you to do the story bits before you can explore anything like in Inazuma and Sumeru? I mostly just play Genshin as a walking simulator
You can explore 90% of Fontaine without doing a single story or world quest. You can access it by walking/swimming there. No barriers.
>woman talks to man >immediately think of cuck and ntr
This is why genshin has so much homosexual bullshit, because you guys will have a meltdown if your waifu so much as looks at a male.
They were just talking over some issues. What's the big deal?
I've never seen a fanbase try and gaslight away criticism as hard as Genshin's does.
>so, you mean the exact same as every other archon quest?
Not even close. Even empty husks like Ayaka have more writing and background than Cyno, Alhaitham, Deyha or Nilou because they just flat out don't participate in the region at all beyond a handful of scenes during the archon quest. The rest is all about npcs without voice acting with barely any relevance in the main lore whatsoever. >disney event was good
Ask me how I know you information comes from fricking hoyolabs it was easy lazy shit for toddlers and only shills defend it.
[...]
Main cast that never did nothing after 3.2 and the rest being Jeht. You rike? Past regions had the main cast cameo often beyond events.
Cyno, alzheimer, dehya and nilou were all extremely relevant during 3.0 to 3.2 and the main characters of the story, much like the characters of fontaine are important to 4.0 to 4.2.
Afterwards they switch to developping the world and NPCs, which is objectively a good thing.
The NPCS all have relevance to the world and its functionment which is important to world building >hoyolab
it comes from me playing the game, it was objectively good, it being for kids is the whole fricking point its a klee event, the only people mad about it were teenagers and everyone else loved iidya and the event

Unfortunately for you I never claimed anything of the sort. What I am going to claim though is that it's blatant shipper troony pandering. Doesn't need to be overt for the intentions to be easy to see. Which is exactly the point, you aren't denying cuckoldry. You're denying the blatant tone of the scene as "just a normal conversation" which anyone with fricking eyes can see is not what the intention was behind that scene.

Nobody said it was a normal conversation you fricking moron, but pretending it's anything romantic is a lie. There's is absolutely no pandering and anyone knowing the context of this conversation would agree. You are the one gaslighting by ignoring the whole story and dialogues before that.

I mostly only see Gankertards seething at Genshin and other gacha gays pulling out revenue charts. Genshin enjoyers talk about the game itself, something those Black folk are incapable of doing for some reason.
>this fictional character has a conversation with a fictional character in the game >AHHHH MY KEK FANTASIES IM HAVING A MELTY >"criticism"
this is what most of Ganker's 'cricitism' boils down to.
the other half is >muh gacha
Want genuine critique from a long time player? Here: >Resin cap is still to low. Should be at least 200. >Having 2 artifact sets per Domain sucks. Should be able to pick one. >Remove useless flat substats from the pool (flat atk, flat hp, flat def). They were good prelaunch but got nerfed for launch yet weren't removed or rebalanced. Shouldn't exist in their current state but Hoyo is okay with having them as fail states for your artifacts. >Floor 12 is still cancer and negative fun. Designed to make you fail, not a challenge to overcome. >Unvoiced dialogue has been indeed too wordy for while now, and it's loocalization is reddit tier as of recently. >Takes way to long to from AR55 to 60 and rewards for doing so are pathetically stingy. >Even at Max World Level difficulty and challenge are abysmally low and non existent. >some units given a shit kit or kneecapped kit on purposed, likely a last minute nerf.
These are valid criticisms of Genshin, yet almost none of the Black folk shitting on the game mention any of these things. It's all just > hurr durr, muh gachashit, muh chinkslop, muh shit world, muh story, no combat.
They either don't play the game or played it like morons, quit, and been seething at other people having fun with it even since.
>Unvoiced dialogue has been indeed too wordy for while now
You fell for the propaganda. Genshin has been wordy from day 1. >and it's localization is reddit tier as of recently.
Source? Cause it's been reddit tier for a long while
Flat substats existing is also by design and your other criticisms are meh but I'm not gonna bother too much with it.
>Resin cap is still to low. Should be at least 200.
then game would required too much time for mr honda to play on the train. >Remove useless flat substats
bro, your nilou? >Floor 12 is still cancer and negative fun.
but current abyss is the easiest one in years? >Unvoiced dialogue
adding voice would make the game not fit on mr honda's son's phone >Takes way to long to from AR55 to 60 and rewards for doing so are pathetically stingy.
you answered your own complain. >Even at Max World Level difficulty and challenge are abysmally low and non existent.
increase difficulty and people will complain it's too hard. this is a casual gacha game (ie: char collection game).
>then game would required too much time for mr honda to play on the train.
you did not understand what I wrote then. >bro, your nilou?
Every flat HP could've been a %HP, which goes way harder. >but current abyss is the easiest one in years?
I didn't talk about difficulty, but cancerous design that is anti-fun. >Takes way to long to from AR55 to 60 and rewards for doing so are pathetically stingy.
Those are two separate complaints. I want AR 60 for another world level (if they ever add one), to convert excess Exp into Mora, but mostly just to be done with it. And the rewards for getting said grind milestones are shit and should be better. These are two distinct things with distinct solutions. >increase difficulty and people will complain it's too hard. this is a casual gacha game
it wouldn't because you can choose you world level. I can choose the highest level while MrHonda stay in WL3. (Hint: Mr.Honda never did AR Ascension quest)

Yeah but the problem is nobody cares about that horse shit. Those are nitpicks for people that are ok with the game as it is but think it could be better. Genshin's real and only major problem is how fricking abysmal the characters have been since Inazume. Gacha games live and die on their characters and Genshin's are fricking awful and it has made the game feel compeltely unplayable because there's absolutely nothing to look forward to. I haven't rolled for a single character since Nilou. No you can cope and say "muh time to save" but for fricking what. There hasn't been a single non dog shit design in that time.

Because the only thing genshit was succesful at was showing me how shitty open world games are, between waiting months for scraps of content scaterred between dozens of hours of unskipabble cutscenes written by some incompetent anime club reject, timegates, chores and shitty combat that makes F2P mmo's look good, the game has nothing to offer. You couldn't even get the coomer audience to stick because the target audience is shippers, trannies and homosexual bugmen as proves
The only chinkshit Im willing to give a chance now is Project Mugen, at least that one seems to put the least bit of effort into making traveling the world fun

Yeah. I'm extremely casual and I just get bored by these games. I log in and it's only ever the same dailies I can do for maybe 5 minutes.
And then what? Nothing. I guess the way to play these games is to just log in every few months but then I'm not really collecting most chars either, which detaches me even further.
In something like Granblue I could do whatever the frick I wanted everyday but at the same time that game is a mountain of content I'll never see the end of.
This. But its formula is not perfect, hence drought of content in begining, and tired people now.
It needs more than adding new regions to keep people playing - most readily switched to Starrail just because it was new experience and dont feel like returning.
all hoyoshit games are doomed to end up like this here
hoyo are the experts at advertising and marketing
they set a good amount of budget for that, including shoving ads on youtube, social media sites, and paying "content creators" to act hyped and excited for their games
the moment the game releases or the latest update drops, it is revealed to be dogshit, wide-as-an-ocean-but-shallow-as-a-puddle kind of slop with really bad writing, repetitive gameplay, endless grind, bad character designs that look like ai slop, fujohomosexual pandering, homosexual males shoved in your faces left and right, shiphomosexualry, and the worst of all, being the kind of games that attract the most mentally ill "people" around the world
>keep pandering to fujos and gays >profits drop
Shocking.
At least we're in for good times once Furina drops and it's hag city for the foreseeable future.
Because artifact farming is just a monstrously godawful annoying mess that pretty much anything else I could do would be a better use of my time and playing everything with my one "good enough" team gets boring.
Also I dread doing side quests because I never know when I'll get roped into a 20 or 30 minute long conversation with some secondary or tertiary character that I give absolutely no fricks about regarding some stupid horseshit that absolutely does not matter to the main story with no fricking way to skip that shit other than beating my spacebar like it owes me money.
It’s ironic that people on this board call you a bot when they act like programmed NPCs who all spew the same buzzwords. It’s the same shit. Same ring and tone every single day.
got bored of feeling like working doing all events and exploration, also enjoyed a lot at first
Quit it and Honkai Starrail for Blue Archive, where i can auto or skip all battles and just look at cute girls. I would have probably stayed if Genshin story was interesting, but it and most quests were meh. In comparison, Starrail is a LOT better quest wise - but theres no content.
Honkai Impact 2.0 tempts me to try it again, and probably will try ZZZ - but realized i hate grind.
That's a good assessment anon, respectable. Was exited for Star Rail but ended up not trying it. And I see no point in playing a new gacha and not being a day one player. Would try Azur Lane, for the cute girls, but only if I can run it on PC.
>And I see no point in playing a new gacha and not being a day one player.
litterally not an issue (just like with Genshin actually)
You dont need gacha chars you might have missed, and content is easy to do. You should check it just for story alone. I too missed releas and only tried later and regreted it.
You can just do the content and then quit - since main issue of Starrail, its basically singleplayer JRPG and theres nothing to do outside of main story updates.
Has anyone else just hit complete burnout with this game?
I've been playing from day 1, and I only log in for the daily's. I don't even buy Welkin anymore, the entirety of the Sumeru desert is unexplored, and I have like 20 unfinished quests.
Same. Once I got my two teams maxed out I don't even use my resin anymore. Feels like a waste but I've nothing else to spend it on and don't feel like gearing other characters and new characters don't look interesting to me. They really peaked with Yelan and Raiden Shogun.
>I've been playing from day 1, and I only log in for the daily's
that was your first mistake and the job-tier commitment is what burned you out. I take a 2-4 month break from the game between each new region being added and don't feel burnout and am excited by the new content every time I return. Them pandering to fujos and spamming male banners gives me the breathing room too.
By not rolling for every single banner like some gambling addicted zoomer. They haven't released anyone interesting or cute enough to roll for since Dehya, and every male or rerun banner was a skip since I already had the characters I wanted. I'm sitting on 260 rolls and I haven't played since Dehya came out and returned about a month ago.
I get enough from the events I catch when I return and the exploration of new areas also gives a shit ton as much as people like to meme on it. I also occasionally buy a welkins. All that combined with skipping most banners now that they're hard set on pushing so many males and reruns works out really well.
>childe owner
actual homosexual
Spooked me 2 years ago when I was rolling for Diona. There's a reason he's unbuilt and is sitting at the bottom with the free standard pull redeemed.
How does your bait even make sense? Do you keep replaying the same singleplayer game every day for years? Of course you don't, you move on to the next one. Same thing with games that receive continuous updates - you return once fresh content is introduced. Or are you one of those NPCs that has to grind shit for the sake of grinding in MMOs?
>Do you keep replaying the same singleplayer game every day for years?
Whats your point? No really, what the frick is this even supposed to mean? If I replay a game, I do it YEARS later. You got you brain fricked sideways be the "games as a service" cancer and now spout this bullshit >you return once fresh content is introduced
The "fresh content" doesnt exist in genshit, its the same shit over and over again with a new coat of paint, if you fail to see that, we best leave the conversation here because I don't plan wasting time explaining why flipping 4 purple switches is no different than placing objects on 2 pressure plates 10 steps away from each other
>Whats your point?
the point is that you're not gonna be playing a game with limited content once you exhaust said content moron. I guess those two braincells of yours couldn't fire off to catch even that. >The "fresh content" doesnt exist in genshit
The new areas and quests they introduce periodically are interesting and fresh. I don't give a shit about the event minigames that only serve to provide an income of gems.

I really hope she's dead because of her stubbornness that people told her an area was too dangerous. Genuinely the worst character in the game, the fact she didn't die of Abyss AIDS and people actually praise her in future content is already annoying enough because she's an absolute moron. They're effectively rewarding her for ignoring everyone's concerns, ignoring her own brain, ignoring her own body telling her she's dying, ignoring the fact that she's already proven humanity is strong, ignoring the fact that she puts Traveler, Paimon, and the other humans she's on the trip with in more danger because now they have to chase after her, and more.

Where you got that information because I call bs. Around 3.7 mhy sent survays asking if noc railroad and hog all the spotlight and Fontaine proves the result of that. After the slogfest that was Sumeru finally we are back to having the main cast of a region, you know, like the characters they are selling to the players, in the front again. Also for this reason the reception for the last summer event was abyssmal.

Objectively wrong, the game has literally all of those , good world design, extensive world building and lore (which has better writing than the story), extreme amounts of details and secrets in said world, very fleshed out world prime for adventure, which is why it mogs every other game that tries to copy it.

There is no adventure in Genshin.
See this pyramid? You can't explore it, you instead have to do a sidequest where some NPCs handhold you through the entire experience because letting people explore on their own isn't according to the writer's vision.
And don't think you'll get some exciting loot, the only thing you're gonna get is materials you don't need and a handful of primogems.
No weapons, no armor, no spells, no tools, nothing.

It isn't, especially because it's simply reused tilesets, with reused enemies which you'll see repeated in every single pyramid.

Maybe go outside for a few minutes. Look at all you can explore, in full HD resolution, for free. Enjoy a nice hike.
Exploration on its own is nothing.
The mechanics suck. They holed themselves into a corner with their party comps, element physics, and the long grind to unlock extra stamina. The monster AI is trivial.
Compare mechanics to a game like BotW and genshin gets dumpstered.
Compare graphics to any modern PC game and genshin gets dumpstered.
Besides, genshin does have a reward for exploration - 10 primogems. It's the real reason 90% of the playerbase scavenges the entire map to 100% completion. Grinding for literal pennies.

Spoken like a true moron. Actual shit mechanics and shit exploration is TotK underground. Genshin’s art design is good and the overworld is above par.
The reason why the game sucks is it’s tied to fomo shit and blatant time wasting un fun garbage (dailies, most events). Like in order to have new fun characters you are encouraged to rush through the game for currency which is the opposite of what an open world game should do. It should be a slow game where you proceed at your own pace. Where you could beeline the main quest or just frick around exploring….like any other game. The actual world is good, the actual music is good, the actual art is good. Criticizing that just makes you look like a contrarian moron, or just some butthurt tendie. And let me make this clear this is why I’m attacking you, it’s not to defend genshin, this game is legitimately a waste of time, even among a hobby designed to waste time. You are much better served wasting your time with another time waster.

I've shit on genshin for this enough already. Can't expect me to rehash the same point every post.
One thing I haven't touched on though, if you're going to defend the mediocre graphics on the basis that it's a portable game - then it's pretty unfortunate that it's forced online. Cell service is better than it used to be, but it's not perfect. For a game that is almost entirely single player, why the frick should it need forced online?

I never said BotW is the pinnacle of good graphics. BotW is a gameplay example.
But honestly it's about on par with genshin for graphics too, which is embarrassing considering it came out 6 years ago and was the entire inspiration for genshin, a game which released several years later.
Specifically, consider the climbing mechanics. Genshin cloned the stamina system which at surface level makes it seem interesting. They copied gliding too.
In BotW, there are sections that are limited by your ability to climb due to insufficient stamina. Working around this is part of the challenge. There are also specific complications like rain causing you to slip.
In Genshin, you do a single collection grind in the first big zone that doubles your stamina bar, trivializing all climbs. Rather than an interesting puzzle, it's simply a timegate on how much you can dash/sprint, and a short wait to reset stamina when you reach a climbing segment. I haven't played every patch so perhaps recent zones add new interactions, but I doubt it.
I don't think Genshin exploration is terrible. It's just pretty bland. Especially all the patches that simply added more of the same shit, with a slightly different color palette.

how moronic are you? they need a connection to make sure your gacha currencies stay consistent with your actions in your account as that's where their whole business model lies, They also need sync all of the changes that happen to your game, like items gained and lost, your location and progress. All of this is needed for a seamless cross-platform experience where you can turn off the game on one device and jump back in on another one. Also the limitation with the fact that it's a mobile game is the size, some people already can't fit the game on their older devices.

None of that is actually necessary. It's possible to structure a game that can update asynchronously, with a warning when data is not being live synced whenever you lose connection. Plenty of console games do this. > they need a connection to make sure your gacha currencies stay consistent with your actions in your account as that's where their whole business model lies

If you want to talk comparisons, BoTW's mechanics actually suck dog dick. Whether it be trying to climb while it's raining or having to go into your inventory to shuffle through items to heal yourself, or play revolving doors to equip the right weapon because a thunderstorm started or your current one broke after two swings. The enemies are a joke too and can be defeated with your eyes closed spamming a single button with a two hander equipped from the perpetual stunlock. Genshin has none of these problems.

Instead Genshin's climbing is just worse as a whole, any little outcrop in the way of your climb and you'll just fall because the devs are shit and couldn't program the climbing correctly so good luck climbing any ruins. >to go into your inventory to shuffle through items to heal yourself
Genshin has the exact same shit if you want to heal yourself using items >The enemies are a joke too and can be defeated with your eyes closed spamming a single button with a two hander equipped from the perpetual stunlock
Genshin is even worse, in fact, Genshin is so bad that they started making every new enemy heavier so that Venti wouldn't trivialize everything, and even then you can still just spam your skills and everything will die, even with a shit character like Klee.

same problem exists in botw tendie. Genshin's climbing is better for the sole fact that you won't get fricked by things outside of your control like the weather suddenly changing.

completely false moronic tendie, there's a hotkey item that lets you heal yourself immediately in the overworld. And this is completely ignoring the fact that you can have off-field healers in your team. >Genshin is so bad that they started making every new enemy heavier so that Venti wouldn't trivialize everything
if they weren't heavy and Venti could suck them up you would complain about it being trivialized, so now that there's more variety in enemy weights, you complain about that instead. >even then you can still just spam your skills and everything will die, even with a shit character like Klee

Yeah because people sure are gonna use the shitty NRE pack, and in BOTW you can get Mipha's blessing that can heal and revive you. >if they weren't heavy and Venti could suck them up you would complain about it being trivialized, so now that there's more variety in enemy weights, you complain about that instead.
Genshin still has other stunlocks like freeze, or just enemies' staggering/ragdoll animations. Venti was just one example of it. >P-post abyss
I, just like the vast majority of Genshin players, never gave a shit about the Abyss since it's boring as shit. And you can't cope with anything else since you know I'm right and that the rest of the enemies are easy so even casual f2ps who don't grind can defeat everything.

Genshin by far at least GS had moments of shutting the frick up
you should have dipped immediately when the feeling hit
i have seen countless people who still stick to this game because of suck cost or habit even though they dont even like the game anymore
i just dropped it long ago and went back to play regular games that didnt feel like a second job
immediately cured my gacha addiction
Been playing since 1.1 non-stop and still not tired
You will burnout if you treat it like your average gacha with a focus on rolling, building and optimizing characters. The game's focus is clearly on the casual exploration and world-building, not combat
Been playing since day 1 as well and dropped the game when Enkanomiya came out. I came back recently to roll for Wrio and have been having fun going through everything I missed. Try taking a break anon
can you rewatch cutscenes now? I stopped a long time ago and I forgot everything about it, and don't like watching in on Youtube when there are dialgoe choises
It has actual gameplay. I don't think it's exceptionally difficult, but it's hard enough that a noticeable portion of the community uses community-made guides to beat stages rather than actually coming up with the solutions themselves.
I would not describe it as 'very grindy' though - it takes about 10 minutes to use up 12 hours worth of sanity, so most of the time you're just running autodeploys for 10 minutes in the morning and then 10 minutes again in the evening.
Yep, regular updates and Exceptional Stories every month.
London recently was invaded in the last Estival and everyone had to go and fight for its defense. The Masters finally got out of their asses, even.
All the characters look the same, have the same standing poses, same run etc.
Started bothering me more and more. I collect characters in gacha games for their uniqueness. If they all look and move the same then what's the point?
Because the moment I decide to go back to the game I am bombarded with unskippable filler dialogue that I will forget within a day.
Genshin is 90% filler 9% grinding artifacts 1% gameplay
Blue Archive and even Star Rail respect my time more
You're the first person to really get it. People always ask me why I like it so much, and they never understand why when I explain how much I love exploring new landscapes, Delving into ruins, meticulously checking every inch for hidden treasures and immersing myself in fictional cultures. Also, I like coming home from grinding for artifacts all day just so I can boot up genshin and grind for artifacts.
T. Archaeologist. Here's a cool Artifact (real) I found.
Because it has the depth of a puddle. If anon has a focus on gameplay he should go for an actual action game, not the watered down Genshin combat.
I recommend he install a PS2 emulator and play DMC3.
The minigames are similarly watered down. If the card game sounded interesting, play Library of Ruina instead, which is no joke the best cardbattler in the market right now.

i entirely and radically disagree.
I am old GBF player, the "mathgame", theorycrafting and team building and Genshin requires quite a few of it as well unless you just copy recommended teams from web or something. I spent a lot of time trying different characters, abilities, combinations, doing math etc. - and its very fun, achieving top optimization.
Plus many characters have very different combat mechanics and routine at all, so you have a lot of variety how you want to play. And at least in begining, theres enougth content to somewhat challenge you.
>but it's very shallow.
how is it shalle when you need month to actually understand all mechanics since theres a lot of them and theres dozens of chars and unique abilities and them all interacting together
Every party and chars create entirely different combat routine and mechanics.
The only "shallow" part about is, that its easy to outgrow the content, and now the only challenge is "hardcore" modes in events.
But that's not action gameplay, which is what I'm talking about. If anon is into optimizing damage numbers fair, but I'm talking about the pure mechanical part, the execution. That one is very simplistic, he should go for Yakuza or DMC, like I said.
All of the gameplay you're referring to is essentially the same in the input part, just with different colors. It's more strategical optimizing then action gameplay, and that's fine, but anon might be looking for something else.
If he IS into that I recommend the game for sure. Also there's Yomi Hustle for a different kind of strategy, it might not be the same but I can rec it, it is really fricking good.
>tfw DMC game with 10+ different cute girls to play as and dress up never fricking ever
this is part of why i finally started accepting Chinese anime games. the Japanese just wanna produce turn based mid or button masher games like Tails of. Senran Kagura should literally be DMC with cute girls, but it's a shitty musou instead.
>gameplaygay
Must be painful being one of you in this era of "huge empty open world so you can explore and some random landmarks and dungeons with copypasted content" of gaming.
>but combat is pretty much brainless.
thats entirely wrong
If you have max level strong chars team - then yes, it becomes just mindless repetition except for abyss and some events. But leveling up and upgrading world level and fighting different stuff is pretty fun, until you hit artifact grind wall.

Yes, and that's what I enjoy. I fricking love elemental reactions. I love alchemy-type combat systems. Same reason I why liked Dragon Age, >Sleep and enemy, cast a psychological spell, they take more damage. >Petrify/freeze enemy, throw a boulder at them, they shatter.
It's cool to do these things, it adds depth, more so than [Swinging Sword in Different Ways] type combat.
Mechanics being unintuitive and hidden from view doesn't mean that it's deep, anon. 90% of Genshin combat is dictated by stats, stats you either get by leveling up or leveling up artifacts. World level scales up too, regardless of your input. It's only once you hit abyss where the field is leveled, and even then 99% of it is just having a good artifact set and weapon.
Yes, you still have to build an effective team, but unless you want to intentionally gimp yourself there are only a few worth investing in.
I don't get why you need it to be so complex though. It's fine as a casual exploran/waifu-collectan game. No need to pretend like it's the best action game ever.
> Every party and chars create entirely different combat routine and mechanics.
Sure;okay, but for that to happen you actually need to have multiple viable characters to choose from. And for that to happen you need to pay, and/or play, for a long, long time, the game ,while it's still shallow, for 100+ hours.
There's no real incentive to hit the depths of genshin for someone that a deep from the get go games like Monster Hunter, or even action MMOs, because it's so obviously designed to milk you dry and doesn't feel rewarding at all.
Every part of the customization is gatekept by bullshit grinding or money, or both.
Even the abyss is not hard mechanically. It's hard because the numbers you need to pass it are kept out of your hand artificially. And even then it's the only truly enjoyable thing about the game in my opinion. But whatever. keep playing vampiric trash fake games if you enjoy them, (i did play some very bad MMOs as a teen after all tho it wasn't as bad as any gacha game), but you will die one day, why spent too much time on them, or even worse, defend them on mongolian carpetweaving forums

note : i said Monster Hunter because it's by itself notorious for its single player grind.
this grind, while famous, and sometimes lengthy depending on what you want to do, is about 100x more pleasant and less taxing than any of GI's artifact or character grinds and there's never the option to spend money on it. if you need to grind because you like it, there are options that don't drain your wallet.
She is Yelan/Kokomi, and gets a third aspect of onfield dps at C2
Absolutely the #1 hydro unit in the game after she comes out, like how Nahida is the undisputed #1
I have 300 rolls banked. I am not sure who I will go for. I might skip this round unless Neuv's trial shows that he is very fun to play.
I do want some of the 4 star cons, but alas.
Because I just can't with this game's writing. It's so fricking banal and pedantic. Nothing ever happens and you have to sit through a bad VN for 15 hours or wear your mouse out for 6 by constantly clicking through the text every quest.
So i'm kinda new to this game and just to confirm: if you want a specific charcter, you're pretty much shit out of luck until the game graces us with a banner containing them? Is that right?
I really want Rosalia to complete the duo with Diluc but it just seems impossible to get her.
Pretty much. You CAN technically luckshit your way into your 4-star of choice on any banner, but the odds are very low. I'd wait for a Rosaria banner if I were you.
I was actually hoping that Sumeru would include the desert area on release so I was patiently waiting for them to come out once I found out they weren't part of the initial nation. I enjoyed them a lot.

O kotowari shimasu.
adds a layer of depth that makes you balance between energy recharge and damage, also makes certain teams like mono-element have an advantage in terms of energy generation over pure reaction based teams.
Energy allows players to balance out their moveset with useful tools like weapons and artifacts. With Energy Recharge, a player does not have to rely solely on DPS and Crit-Rate to rotate characters, it can allow players to do heavy damage while maximizing the amount of potential options per rotation.
Then maybe he should've said resin? Either you're a moron for assuming he meant resin, or he is for not specifying when there is literally another thing in the game called energy.
>Energy Mechanic.
There's is an ENERGY RECHARGE MECHANIC at the very core of the combat system Black person. If he meant Resin he should've/could've said so.
gacha. It's an anchor stat weighing you down. Because instead of rolling that double crit artifact you are forced to use one with ER to meet your character's 200% ER breakpoint because Mihomosexual intentionally gave them shitty energy particle generation. >Looking at you Faruzan.
Yelan is pretty strong and great for open world and abyss. Yoimiya is the perfect balance between strong and fun to play and the two go perfect together
Because the main story is so fricking boring and so fricking long that I can't take this shit anymore. Even on autoplay alt tab it still takes 10 hours. 10 fricking hours of pointless dialogues, constantly repeating everything already said 2 minutes ago. I took a break halfway through the Fontaine quest and didn't even do the last event, I'm going straight to another big break.

panty shots have been a staple of anime for years, so where is it in genshit?
I'm waiting for Clorinde Navia Arleccino and Cloud Retainer(Gigastacy version), I have a gorillion primos saved since fricking Dehya, I'm literally 75 into hard pity because of how garbage the last 8 months of banners have been, holy shit I'm rolling for weapons for fricks sake, I hate whatever moron is in charge of banners
Well I do have Dehya, Hu Tao, Diluc. Only Hu Tao is leveled though Outside of the 5*s the only pyro SRs I've leveled are Yanfei and Xiangling.
As far as Burgeon goes I keep Nahida with Raiden and Yelan, Tighnari isn't fully leveled and neither is Collei
Is it even viable these days for a newcomer to get into Genshin Impact? I mean, by now the game should have a huge amount of content that most people would find it overwhelming.
I started playing a few weeks ago, it seems normal enough to me. Just that you can't upgrade some characters until you get way later in the game. Then again, you likely won't get these characters (I got one for free in some event, can't upgrade until I get to the newer area.)
Its pretty staggered by zones which some are story locked others you can just pick a direction and walk to the new area to explore it, just know resources are area specific so if you get any not-japan characters you are screwed from levelling them till you get to part 3 of the story missions.
I'm going to laugh myself into a fricking coma if Dragon King Neuville doesn't manage to break 50k on Paimon and loses against Kokomi's 4th rerun.
That's all.
I understand when some people are scared of spiders, lion, snake or shit. But this is the first time I witness someone scared of words.
Now that I think about it, american love to censor words in their speech (f word, n word, r word...etc) and care more about the words themselves (like Black person) instead of the intent.
rabinismo! looks like anon think americans censor words, because he says americans shorten a few words, which he implies it is because they are scared of words, while not caring about meanings! now let’s fetch the tax report for madame ching ching !
>Why aren't you playing Genshin Impact, anon?
Because it's a glorified visual novel, and not a good one, with an empty open world slapped on which serves zero purpose.
I played that trash 3 years ago.
While the initial exploration can be fun, game has many problems that quickly become apparent. The whole thing is just a trap to keep you engaged long enough to hopefully convince you to spend hundreds of dollars on characters that are entirely pointless because the gameplay is too shallow and easy too care.
Endlessly grinding dailies to get pennies worth of virtual currency each day so that you can endlessly grind even longer, except with new characters that are functionally identical.
The only challenging content is a monthly speedrun challenge that rewards more currency, so the characters you bought and leveled can maybe provide a small discount in buying the next character.
The story is forgettable shit, up through the Inazuma content I played. Maybe it gets better 200 hours in. I don't care. I doubt it though, considering the whole point is to forcibly introduce hundreds of new characters to sell.
I noticed that Genshin receives the highest amount of criticism of any game I've ever seen, most of it made up shit or a matter or preference. Is it a byproduct of mogging literally everything else?
It's all 100% Tendies. China gaming is a threat to them. That's why they're all over games like Genshin and Honkai because they make Nintendo games but better aside from gacha.
>Is it a byproduct of mogging literally everything else?
Yes. Arknight and Honkai fans are so insecure about Genshin that a simple tweet sent them into impotent rage for weeks.
They can't do that without exploding mobile users phone, same reason why it never rains in main cities and why they avoid adding too many playable characters in the same place, there is a loadout limit
isn't the new iphone able to do that? or at least make it an option so pc/console players can see extra npcs.
>gnosis: hydro
So is she the archon or not?
official channels wouldnt drop spoilers 2 patches earlier... they'll publish another one shortly before the 4.3 drip with a new one, like they did for the 3 fatuis, but listing a vision.
i have yet to see a single example of this game's open world being fleshed out
you know, a reason why genshills praise the game so bad
is it actually as detailed as gta? do the npcs feel alive? does the world feel like a believable world instead of being a lifeless backdrop for your selfies? what activities can the player do in this open world besides the handful few (exploring for enemy camps, chests, oculi, materials, completing domains) that players have been doing since day 1?
Racial differences are real. I don't have the Chinese part of the brain that makes a person want to dress up like a girl and enjoy shallow superficial stories
[...]
this is what most of Ganker's 'cricitism' boils down to.
the other half is >muh gacha
Want genuine critique from a long time player? Here: >Resin cap is still to low. Should be at least 200. >Having 2 artifact sets per Domain sucks. Should be able to pick one. >Remove useless flat substats from the pool (flat atk, flat hp, flat def). They were good prelaunch but got nerfed for launch yet weren't removed or rebalanced. Shouldn't exist in their current state but Hoyo is okay with having them as fail states for your artifacts. >Floor 12 is still cancer and negative fun. Designed to make you fail, not a challenge to overcome. >Unvoiced dialogue has been indeed too wordy for while now, and it's loocalization is reddit tier as of recently. >Takes way to long to from AR55 to 60 and rewards for doing so are pathetically stingy. >Even at Max World Level difficulty and challenge are abysmally low and non existent. >some units given a shit kit or kneecapped kit on purposed, likely a last minute nerf.
These are valid criticisms of Genshin, yet almost none of the Black folk shitting on the game mention any of these things. It's all just > hurr durr, muh gachashit, muh chinkslop, muh shit world, muh story, no combat.
They either don't play the game or played it like morons, quit, and been seething at other people having fun with it even since.
it's improved quite a bit since then, especially gacha. 3% rates for costumes and hard pity at 110 rolls. class balance made some classes more fun to play and, uh i've no idea what else people were complaining. probably trivial shit no one should care about, like the devs not talking during a gameplay showcase stream.

I'd say it's the opposite. Teenagers today need some sort of in-game reward to play games.

Yes. Gacha in general is made for the original gaming audience, which always has a fresh component in the youth. Other games have degenerated greatly, whereas gacha retains the integrity of the medium. Also, it is the place where the most innovation and life can be found in the medium.
/v/, generally, has some of the poorest taste you can find. It is a mirror image of reddit. Strange rationalizations for very poor, lifeless products.

Not at all. Gacha is where all of the old-school RPGs went as well. That's where the audience went to. See Japan's purchasing habits.
Genshin is a unique game because of it's budget and scale, and that is how it is stretching the medium to a new place. But other games have greatly innovated in the structure of turn-based combat via gacha. Gacha allows the devs to balance things in a very interesting way...because of the inherent limitation of tools.
But more than this, the narrative opportunities...the incredible volume of high-quality art...the excellent music...Gacha is the last bastion of gaming as a medium. As is the gacha audience. Eventually games will go the same way as film and literature, they will die. But for now gacha keeps gaming alive.

Gacha devs barely balance anything since they can't change characters since they can get sued.

They can’t play a game and simply enjoy the game, it needs some gay ass profession system.
You homosexual-y ass zoomers don't know shit.
You Black folk talk about "progression systems" because all you play are shitty online only skinner-boxes, doing the same garbage over and over again so the devs slap on battlepasses to keep you homosexuals engaged.
Meanwhile in old games and singleplayer games still today have progression naturally built in. I can go and replay OG Serious Sam and the more I play the more weapons I get, new enemies appear, I fight in new stages with different designs, and the same goes for something more modern like Terraria.
You homosexualy zoomers think you're smart for shit-talking progression when it only reveals what moronic homosexuals you are.

Sounds like you want to be cucked anon.
I wish I could grind this game instead of waiting for timers.
You can explore 90% of Fontaine without doing a single story or world quest. You can access it by walking/swimming there. No barriers.
I've never seen a fanbase try and gaslight away criticism as hard as Genshin's does.
>this fictional character has a conversation with a fictional character in the game
>AHHHH MY KEK FANTASIES IM HAVING A MELTY
>"criticism"
Case in point
I accept your concession
Cyno, alzheimer, dehya and nilou were all extremely relevant during 3.0 to 3.2 and the main characters of the story, much like the characters of fontaine are important to 4.0 to 4.2.
Afterwards they switch to developping the world and NPCs, which is objectively a good thing.
The NPCS all have relevance to the world and its functionment which is important to world building
>hoyolab
it comes from me playing the game, it was objectively good, it being for kids is the whole fricking point its a klee event, the only people mad about it were teenagers and everyone else loved iidya and the event

Did you even see the chain of posts you were answering to? That "cuckoldry" relationship is pure shitpost and exposing shitposters isn't shlling.
Unfortunately for you I never claimed anything of the sort. What I am going to claim though is that it's blatant shipper troony pandering. Doesn't need to be overt for the intentions to be easy to see. Which is exactly the point, you aren't denying cuckoldry. You're denying the blatant tone of the scene as "just a normal conversation" which anyone with fricking eyes can see is not what the intention was behind that scene.
Nobody said it was a normal conversation you fricking moron, but pretending it's anything romantic is a lie. There's is absolutely no pandering and anyone knowing the context of this conversation would agree. You are the one gaslighting by ignoring the whole story and dialogues before that.
gachashill as an argument when defending Genshingays
Don't even have to read the rest to know you're wrong. I'm just having a laugh st all the shit flinging in this thread.

>and it's localization is reddit tier as of recently.
Source? Cause it's been reddit tier for a long while
Flat substats existing is also by design and your other criticisms are meh but I'm not gonna bother too much with it.
The best trolls for any game are the ones that actually play it to know exactly what to troll about.
Good thing none of those are here then
>Resin cap is still to low. Should be at least 200.
then game would required too much time for mr honda to play on the train.
>Remove useless flat substats

>Takes way to long to from AR55 to 60 and rewards for doing so are pathetically stingy.
you answered your own complain.
>Even at Max World Level difficulty and challenge are abysmally low and non existent.
increase difficulty and people will complain it's too hard. this is a casual gacha game (ie: char collection game).
>then game would required too much time for mr honda to play on the train.
you did not understand what I wrote then.
>bro, your nilou?
Every flat HP could've been a %HP, which goes way harder.
>but current abyss is the easiest one in years?
I didn't talk about difficulty, but cancerous design that is anti-fun.
>Takes way to long to from AR55 to 60 and rewards for doing so are pathetically stingy.
Those are two separate complaints. I want AR 60 for another world level (if they ever add one), to convert excess Exp into Mora, but mostly just to be done with it. And the rewards for getting said grind milestones are shit and should be better. These are two distinct things with distinct solutions.
>increase difficulty and people will complain it's too hard. this is a casual gacha game
it wouldn't because you can choose you world level. I can choose the highest level while MrHonda stay in WL3. (Hint: Mr.Honda never did AR Ascension quest)
You misinterpreted everything I said. Your reading comprehension suggests profound moronation anon. Don't bother replying. Collapsing this chain so I don't lose any more braincells because of you.
>you can choose you world level. I can choose the highest level while MrHonda stay in WL3
then Mr Honda will complain about not getting the same rewards as the WL8 player as they scale accordingly. If they're gonna scale rewards with WL, they WILL need to keep the highest WL accessible even to the most plebiest of plebs.
ah yes, the mythical hp% substat on an hp% goblet/circlet/sands. please play the game before shitposting.
>gets proven to be a moron
>"s-shut up, i'm blocking you!"
Yeah but the problem is nobody cares about that horse shit. Those are nitpicks for people that are ok with the game as it is but think it could be better. Genshin's real and only major problem is how fricking abysmal the characters have been since Inazume. Gacha games live and die on their characters and Genshin's are fricking awful and it has made the game feel compeltely unplayable because there's absolutely nothing to look forward to. I haven't rolled for a single character since Nilou. No you can cope and say "muh time to save" but for fricking what. There hasn't been a single non dog shit design in that time.

This is why genshin has so much homosexual bullshit, because you guys will have a meltdown if your waifu so much as looks at a male.

Because the only thing genshit was succesful at was showing me how shitty open world games are, between waiting months for scraps of content scaterred between dozens of hours of unskipabble cutscenes written by some incompetent anime club reject, timegates, chores and shitty combat that makes F2P mmo's look good, the game has nothing to offer. You couldn't even get the coomer audience to stick because the target audience is shippers, trannies and homosexual bugmen as proves
The only chinkshit Im willing to give a chance now is Project Mugen, at least that one seems to put the least bit of effort into making traveling the world fun
I wholeheartedly disagree with almost everything you said. Genshin is one of the best games I ever played, and I've been gaming for 2 decades.
This. But its formula is not perfect, hence drought of content in begining, and tired people now.
It needs more than adding new regions to keep people playing - most readily switched to Starrail just because it was new experience and dont feel like returning.
It's not like Star Rail is doing anything differently other than Simulated Universe and a few QoL
Yes, and soon all will switch to ZZZ
when is ZZZ coming out anyway? will it be on Steam, or is it gonna be a launcher game?
and zzz will be shit too
like i said before, this company has perfected their advertising
show interesting stuff along with cute waifus before release, then start pumping shit into the game after release
zzz gameplay tremendously improved from when it was first shown tho and actually looks decent rn. will be their best game by far
>combat focused gacha
its shit, i'll only download it if they dont nerf the pink bawds breasts
doesnt matter
it WILL be shit
all hoyoshit games are doomed to be shit that attracts flies like thes ones in this thread defending/praising it like it were a masterpiece
Yeah. I'm extremely casual and I just get bored by these games. I log in and it's only ever the same dailies I can do for maybe 5 minutes.
And then what? Nothing. I guess the way to play these games is to just log in every few months but then I'm not really collecting most chars either, which detaches me even further.
In something like Granblue I could do whatever the frick I wanted everyday but at the same time that game is a mountain of content I'll never see the end of.
fat zhange is here with damage control

hoyo are the experts at advertising and marketing
they set a good amount of budget for that, including shoving ads on youtube, social media sites, and paying "content creators" to act hyped and excited for their games
the moment the game releases or the latest update drops, it is revealed to be dogshit, wide-as-an-ocean-but-shallow-as-a-puddle kind of slop with really bad writing, repetitive gameplay, endless grind, bad character designs that look like ai slop, fujohomosexual pandering, homosexual males shoved in your faces left and right, shiphomosexualry, and the worst of all, being the kind of games that attract the most mentally ill "people" around the world
>wide-as-an-ocean-but-shallow-as-a-puddle
At least it's pretty. Starfield manages to be just as shallow, yet look like complete ass.
ok, but that doesnt take away the negatives from genshit
Have you considered that there are games that are not Genshin nor Starfield?
Yes, and I play them too.
no, he is only going to b***h about games that are easy to make fun of

>genshinlabs
we already know these numbers are worthless and that both games make insane amounts of money
>Why aren't you playing Genshin Impact, anon?
Because artifact farming is just a monstrously godawful annoying mess that pretty much anything else I could do would be a better use of my time and playing everything with my one "good enough" team gets boring.
Also I dread doing side quests because I never know when I'll get roped into a 20 or 30 minute long conversation with some secondary or tertiary character that I give absolutely no fricks about regarding some stupid horseshit that absolutely does not matter to the main story with no fricking way to skip that shit other than beating my spacebar like it owes me money.
Any other questions, OP?

Yelan is like early 30s, she's the worst example you could have picked.
none of the new characters interest me. Probably gonna pick it up again for the next Shenhe rerun.
stop supporting predatory gacha trash.
I don't play genshin for the same reason I don't read Isekai trash. If there's no definitive end then It's a waste of time.
I do play it can't wait to roll this sexy little moron
My head canon is she wears no panties.
I'm adopting that. Together we will make something that doesn't exist even better.
I decided to give a shot to this game when it releases on switch.
So never.
>Chinese datamining software except with gacha rolls
Do gachaBlack folk REALLY?
>gachashit with mentally ill trannies and females as the target audience
no
Because I don't feel like farming for stuff to level Hu Tao and Shenhe's talents. Also Furina is not out yet.
I want to bury my face in Hu Tao's teen softness.
god i want her to wiggle her butt in my face
Chinese bots.
im horny, not a chink.
Your also playing genshit moron, what is the difference?
oh so you're just a dumb Black person, got it.
I'm a bot for posting ass?
It’s ironic that people on this board call you a bot when they act like programmed NPCs who all spew the same buzzwords. It’s the same shit. Same ring and tone every single day.
I am and I am upset that it won't get any better
too much content
got bored of feeling like working doing all events and exploration, also enjoyed a lot at first
Quit it and Honkai Starrail for Blue Archive, where i can auto or skip all battles and just look at cute girls. I would have probably stayed if Genshin story was interesting, but it and most quests were meh. In comparison, Starrail is a LOT better quest wise - but theres no content.
Honkai Impact 2.0 tempts me to try it again, and probably will try ZZZ - but realized i hate grind.
That's a good assessment anon, respectable. Was exited for Star Rail but ended up not trying it. And I see no point in playing a new gacha and not being a day one player. Would try Azur Lane, for the cute girls, but only if I can run it on PC.
>And I see no point in playing a new gacha and not being a day one player.
litterally not an issue (just like with Genshin actually)
You dont need gacha chars you might have missed, and content is easy to do. You should check it just for story alone. I too missed releas and only tried later and regreted it.
You can just do the content and then quit - since main issue of Starrail, its basically singleplayer JRPG and theres nothing to do outside of main story updates.
Has anyone else just hit complete burnout with this game?
I've been playing from day 1, and I only log in for the daily's. I don't even buy Welkin anymore, the entirety of the Sumeru desert is unexplored, and I have like 20 unfinished quests.
They need to stop pushing boring shit that nobody wants to do. Involve characters people care about instead of useless peasant number 4617.
Same. Once I got my two teams maxed out I don't even use my resin anymore. Feels like a waste but I've nothing else to spend it on and don't feel like gearing other characters and new characters don't look interesting to me. They really peaked with Yelan and Raiden Shogun.
>I've been playing from day 1, and I only log in for the daily's
that was your first mistake and the job-tier commitment is what burned you out. I take a 2-4 month break from the game between each new region being added and don't feel burnout and am excited by the new content every time I return. Them pandering to fujos and spamming male banners gives me the breathing room too.
But how do you get your gems to roll for characters then?
By not rolling for every single banner like some gambling addicted zoomer. They haven't released anyone interesting or cute enough to roll for since Dehya, and every male or rerun banner was a skip since I already had the characters I wanted. I'm sitting on 260 rolls and I haven't played since Dehya came out and returned about a month ago.
Sure, but you still need some gems to roll things and you don't get any if you never play. I'm glad it works out for you though.
I get enough from the events I catch when I return and the exploration of new areas also gives a shit ton as much as people like to meme on it. I also occasionally buy a welkins. All that combined with skipping most banners now that they're hard set on pushing so many males and reruns works out really well.
Spooked me 2 years ago when I was rolling for Diona. There's a reason he's unbuilt and is sitting at the bottom with the free standard pull redeemed.
>childe owner
actual homosexual
If you need extended ammount of time away from the game, maybe its not a good game lmao
How does your bait even make sense? Do you keep replaying the same singleplayer game every day for years? Of course you don't, you move on to the next one. Same thing with games that receive continuous updates - you return once fresh content is introduced. Or are you one of those NPCs that has to grind shit for the sake of grinding in MMOs?
>Do you keep replaying the same singleplayer game every day for years?
Whats your point? No really, what the frick is this even supposed to mean? If I replay a game, I do it YEARS later. You got you brain fricked sideways be the "games as a service" cancer and now spout this bullshit
>you return once fresh content is introduced
The "fresh content" doesnt exist in genshit, its the same shit over and over again with a new coat of paint, if you fail to see that, we best leave the conversation here because I don't plan wasting time explaining why flipping 4 purple switches is no different than placing objects on 2 pressure plates 10 steps away from each other
>Whats your point?
the point is that you're not gonna be playing a game with limited content once you exhaust said content moron. I guess those two braincells of yours couldn't fire off to catch even that.
>The "fresh content" doesnt exist in genshit
The new areas and quests they introduce periodically are interesting and fresh. I don't give a shit about the event minigames that only serve to provide an income of gems.
>new quests
>new story
>new lore
>new regions and vistas
>new characters and interactions
Sure, you may not like any of them, but that just means the game is not for you

Man you are...really desperate to defend this piece of shit aren't you?
Have you consider that some people enjoy it? That's why Genshin Impact is always the topic of discussion. The same can't be said about so called passion projects
>Have you consider that some people enjoy it?
Yes I did, but my opinion on that is similar to this image. I could have sworn there was a more accurate version of it, but I can't find it.
To put it bluntly, I do not mind that you enjoy this garbage, but I sure am going to question it and give you my take on it when confronted about it.
Besides that, those two shit eaters that replied in addition to you just prove none of you are capable of taking any ammount of criticism
I can take criticism, it's just that
>muh something I dislike
>AAAAIIIEEEEE WORDS
is hardly proper criticism
>is hardly proper criticism
Can you honestly tell me that you wouldn't just downplay a better written out criticism of the story and dialogue? With something like
>tl;dr lmao
Because I know how you kids act, I tried having civil conversations with you, but surprise, we are on fricking Ganker out of all places so 99% of you would rather ignore it and cope with your shitty game.
Case in point
Saying
>WORDS WORDS WORDS
Works just as well because all you do is stomp your feet on the ground and throw a hissy fit
Anon, I simply posted a list of features that some people enjoy when new content is released, as a counterpoint to your claim that "fresh content" doesn't exist. You're the one who had an absolute meltdown over it, typing a bunch of things that can be mostly reduced to "imo". And now you're simply assuming how I will answer and assuming a full defensive stance for no reason
Take a deep breath
>And now you're simply assuming how I will answer and assuming a full defensive stance for no reason
>You're the one who had an absolute meltdown over it, typing a bunch of things that can be mostly reduced to "imo"
Its amazing how quickly you invalidated your own post
For someone who hates words you wrote a whole paragraph
your whole "criticism" boils down to
>words? I'm too lazy to read!
>ignores the different traversal, interaction and depth mechanics introduced alongside the new regions
>ignores the characters that accompany you through basically entire archon quest volumes or ones that return every seasonal event with a new story
>objectively false about recolored skills since 1.0
>3 of the 1.0 characters are some of the strongest to provide new players a stepping stone
>he thinks stronger characters since 1.0 haven't released
I'm not sure how you want us to respond when all you puked out is personal preference and false claims
? I'm too lazy to read!
Proving my point yet again, keep it coming
>ignores the different traversal
>running
>running and interacting with purple thing before you can press T to grapple for 10 seconds
>running and pressing T once in a while(have to first walk up and hit the flower thing that actually spawns the grappling point which already invalidates it)
>swimming, only in this one region in particular instead of actually updading water mechanics all over the map, which means that as soon as you are out of Fontaine that shit is not coming back
>interaction and depth mechanics introduced alongside the new regions
Those are quite literally empty, vague words that mean nothing
Everything else is you just making shit up to disagree with what I said
Have you ever stopped to consider that not everyone is bothered by words? that some people actually care for some of the NPCs? the Jeht video in the recent hoyofair has been very well received for a reason, even though it would fall under your "wordy NPC content" diatribe
You can go ask anyone sane enough to compare the tone in my answer and the one in yours to know that's not true
>Have you ever stopped to consider that not everyone is bothered by words?
I did but some of the most common complaints I see about the game, even from the fans of it, is the needlessly long dialogues that convey absolutely nothing of value. And yes I know about Jeht, the one out of 50+ NPCs they tried to put front and centre of a quest, how about literally everyone else? Please find me fans of Teppei or that one chick from the chasm that was looking for her uncle or whatever. Jeht is an exception, probably the only one you have
>hoyofair
Who would have tought fans of the game would jizz themselves over fanmade content
Jeht, Dunyazard, Zhiqiong, Rui, Arama, Mamere, Sorush, Enjou, Kazari, Liben, Madame Ping, Ying'er etc
Of course those who complain are more noticeable, because the ones who are fine with the text aren't complaining at all
>Who would have tought fans of the game would jizz themselves over fanmade content
It shows that the game has fans of the content you label as shit
> that one chick from the chasm that was looking for her uncle or whatever.
I loved Zhiqiong's quest and look forward to seeing her alive and well. Please be alive...
Rana, I want to meet her together with Arana and have them tell me all their adventures. Then go on our own adventure together
I want to meet Dunyazard on her travels now that she's healthy
Just because you didn't give a frick doesn't mean nobody else did.
>Please be alive...
I really hope she's dead because of her stubbornness that people told her an area was too dangerous. Genuinely the worst character in the game, the fact she didn't die of Abyss AIDS and people actually praise her in future content is already annoying enough because she's an absolute moron. They're effectively rewarding her for ignoring everyone's concerns, ignoring her own brain, ignoring her own body telling her she's dying, ignoring the fact that she's already proven humanity is strong, ignoring the fact that she puts Traveler, Paimon, and the other humans she's on the trip with in more danger because now they have to chase after her, and more.
>that some people actually care for some of the NPCs? the Jeht video in the recent hoyofair has been very well received for a reason, even though it would fall under your "wordy NPC content" diatribe
Where you got that information because I call bs. Around 3.7 mhy sent survays asking if noc railroad and hog all the spotlight and Fontaine proves the result of that. After the slogfest that was Sumeru finally we are back to having the main cast of a region, you know, like the characters they are selling to the players, in the front again. Also for this reason the reception for the last summer event was abyssmal.
so, you mean the exact same as every other archon quest? archon quest is about the main characters, sidequests are about the world and npcs (which everyone except moronic zoomers enjoy).
Disney land with Klee was extremely well received so i dont know why you're making shit up
>so, you mean the exact same as every other archon quest?
Not even close. Even empty husks like Ayaka have more writing and background than Cyno, Alhaitham, Deyha or Nilou because they just flat out don't participate in the region at all beyond a handful of scenes during the archon quest. The rest is all about npcs without voice acting with barely any relevance in the main lore whatsoever.
>disney event was good
Ask me how I know you information comes from fricking hoyolabs it was easy lazy shit for toddlers and only shills defend it.
Main cast that never did nothing after 3.2 and the rest being Jeht. You rike? Past regions had the main cast cameo often beyond events.
>Main cast that never did nothing after 3.2
damn I guess all the character quests just don't count?
>damn I guess all the character quests just don't count?
Yes. After 3.2 its just al haitham's and that was just a fetch quest with an incomplete plot and no development of his character.
Dehya's came out after 3.2, so did Nahida's act 2, so did Wanderer's interlude chapter, so did Act 6 of the archon quest. You're moronic.
>Dehya's came out after 3.2, so did Nahida's act 2, so did Wanderer's interlude chapter
All were shit
>so did Act 6 of the archon quest
Deins quest is not sumeru disingenuous c**t.
>All were shit
personal preference, means nothing
>Deins quest is not sumeru
>literally all of the quest happens in Sumeru
>directly related to locations and lore of Sumeru
???
Not even him but the most important part of the quest happens inside that weird pocket version of Enkanomiya
They were present in events and hangouts. It's no different from how the Ayaka you used as an example had no presence after Inazuma's archon quest, or how Liyue and Mondstadt cast only shows in events and hangouts. The only exceptions so far were the Chasm event and Albedo act II in Dragonspine
>Liloupar
>Sorush
>no relevance in the main lore whatsover
You're either using the word "lore" wrong or you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about
>well received so i dont know why you're making shit up
Because there's 3 things Ganker hates most:
>good videogames
>popular things
>good videogames that are popular
Case in point: Elden Ring, Armored Core, Baldur's Gate. Can go as far back as you want, Ganker hated DS3 when it came out but when ER released Ganker suddenly had loved DS3 all along.
What are you even talking about?
Sumeru had a main cast on top of having NPCs, what's even your point?
>Proving my point
that is literally what you said though, and I quote
>WORDS WORDS WORDS
there was no other argument, you have nobody but yourself to blame.

good job on letting me know you don't actually play the game and are just spouting shit for the sake of it with no coherent argument.
>good job on letting me know you don't actually play the game
I'm sorry, when did I imply I still play this shit?
Don't give a shit if you do or don't, but it makes my life easier to filter out your drivel and know that you're a simply an assblasted moron.

genshinlet-kun. Hyperbloom is a cope reaction with high floor but a low ceiling. Now that we are out of Sumeru, classic comps immediately stomp again. You thought HPB was strongest because 3.x abyss was tailor made for it.
kek this is the most Ganker post of all time, crying about words while typing a wall of text of inane drivel and made up bullshit statements that are factually wrong and easily disproven
Im yet to see the "easily disproven" part, instead all of you seem intent on shitposting your way through. See
took the words right out of my...fingertips?
you were already easily disproven by
>character skillset are a recolor
ok name one character from 1.0 with the same skillset as neuvillette or wanderer, characters disappear? we literally still get mondo events with the entire cast and fricking eula was in the last summer event
you're moronic mate
I didn't read but
>WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS
Yeah that's how stories are told, you must be a dark soul moron
precisely
the world design is pretty, but it is simply a background for players to take pictures
almost no depth, no world building, not fleshed out
no idea why genshiteaters praise this mediocre game for its exploration
just say it has good visuals and move on lol
>no world building
People keep saying that but never bother to explain
Objectively wrong, the game has literally all of those , good world design, extensive world building and lore (which has better writing than the story), extreme amounts of details and secrets in said world, very fleshed out world prime for adventure, which is why it mogs every other game that tries to copy it.
>very fleshed out world prime for adventure
There is no adventure in Genshin.
See this pyramid? You can't explore it, you instead have to do a sidequest where some NPCs handhold you through the entire experience because letting people explore on their own isn't according to the writer's vision.
And don't think you'll get some exciting loot, the only thing you're gonna get is materials you don't need and a handful of primogems.
No weapons, no armor, no spells, no tools, nothing.
You literally do explore it though, and you get to come back once you have upgraded your tool, its also full of extensive lore and cool rooms.
>muh loot
the exploration is the reward, not the shitty gear that will rot in your inventory for the rest of the game until you sell it
>the exploration is the reward
It isn't, especially because it's simply reused tilesets, with reused enemies which you'll see repeated in every single pyramid.
And I like how your tiny homosexual brain can't even imagine areas having interesting unique loot, probably because it would frick any argument you may have had.
Cope harder Black person
you should know by now the thread is filled with shills who have never played a decent game in their lives and have to resort to defending and praising a mediocre game instead
NTA but for me, the appeal is the lore you find there, with all the tidbits about Scarlet King, his nation, his deeds, the Djinns, Gurabad etc
I agree there could be more interesting loot and enemy variety though
>can't even imagine areas having interesting unique loot
You took one pyramid from one region from one nation. Areas do have unique loot, like Dragonspine did. I know you're a disingenuous moron that's never touched the game, but please apply yourself.
Dragonspine had a single sword that, from what I remember, was trash no one wanted to use.
And that's the only place with a unique item which is why you had to go back to 3 year old content to find an example.
A swing and a miss, color me surprised.
true, its a useless weapon
Dragonspine had unique materials needed to craft unique weapons. Each nation also has unique craftable weapons that require unique materials found while exploring. You also get unique items from doing certain character quests, like Kazuha's. Exploration, both story and environment wise, is rewarded.
>the exploration is the reward
lmao
What's wrong? Need a little carrot on a stick to make it worth your while?
Maybe go outside for a few minutes. Look at all you can explore, in full HD resolution, for free. Enjoy a nice hike.
Exploration on its own is nothing.
The mechanics suck. They holed themselves into a corner with their party comps, element physics, and the long grind to unlock extra stamina. The monster AI is trivial.
Compare mechanics to a game like BotW and genshin gets dumpstered.
Compare graphics to any modern PC game and genshin gets dumpstered.
Besides, genshin does have a reward for exploration - 10 primogems. It's the real reason 90% of the playerbase scavenges the entire map to 100% completion. Grinding for literal pennies.
Spoken like a true moron. Actual shit mechanics and shit exploration is TotK underground. Genshin’s art design is good and the overworld is above par.
The reason why the game sucks is it’s tied to fomo shit and blatant time wasting un fun garbage (dailies, most events). Like in order to have new fun characters you are encouraged to rush through the game for currency which is the opposite of what an open world game should do. It should be a slow game where you proceed at your own pace. Where you could beeline the main quest or just frick around exploring….like any other game. The actual world is good, the actual music is good, the actual art is good. Criticizing that just makes you look like a contrarian moron, or just some butthurt tendie. And let me make this clear this is why I’m attacking you, it’s not to defend genshin, this game is legitimately a waste of time, even among a hobby designed to waste time. You are much better served wasting your time with another time waster.
I want to add the actual good parts of genshin (the actual open world) are like an insidious trap with the fomoshit being a cynical and malicious snare to keep you on the right levels of player engagement. It’s legitimately soulless. If you want to shit on genshin it’s pretty easy, take this as advice, copy my argument. Don’t go hur dur le world is le bad, because it actually isn’t
Genshin's open world is dead and empty as shit, it's inferior even to Ubislop games which should tell you something.
No it’s not, take my advice if you want to make the chinkshills seethe, this garbage is easily brushed aside
It is worse than Ubislop, the world is static and doesn't even have any enemies roaming around they all just stay in the same places every day waiting for you to kill them.
Even Far Cry 4's world is more alive since you can go on random strolls in the world and see shit like humans getting attacked by wild animals just because they roamed into each other. You'll never get something like that in Genshin.
Nobody at Ubisoft even believe their game is better than Genshin
t. work at Ubisoft
Yeah and my uncle works at Nintendo
God, you homosexuals really are zoomers
>If you want to shit on genshin it’s pretty easy, take this as advice, copy my argument
>it’s tied to fomo shit and blatant time wasting un fun garbage
I've shit on genshin for this enough already. Can't expect me to rehash the same point every post.
One thing I haven't touched on though, if you're going to defend the mediocre graphics on the basis that it's a portable game - then it's pretty unfortunate that it's forced online. Cell service is better than it used to be, but it's not perfect. For a game that is almost entirely single player, why the frick should it need forced online?
BotW is not TotK, by the way.
Music is good though, you're right about that.
>mediocre graphics
Sorry it's not a 480p piss filter covered mess like botw is, tendie.
But seriously you have shit in your eyes if you think Genshin's graphics are "mediocre"
I never said BotW is the pinnacle of good graphics. BotW is a gameplay example.
But honestly it's about on par with genshin for graphics too, which is embarrassing considering it came out 6 years ago and was the entire inspiration for genshin, a game which released several years later.
Specifically, consider the climbing mechanics. Genshin cloned the stamina system which at surface level makes it seem interesting. They copied gliding too.
In BotW, there are sections that are limited by your ability to climb due to insufficient stamina. Working around this is part of the challenge. There are also specific complications like rain causing you to slip.
In Genshin, you do a single collection grind in the first big zone that doubles your stamina bar, trivializing all climbs. Rather than an interesting puzzle, it's simply a timegate on how much you can dash/sprint, and a short wait to reset stamina when you reach a climbing segment. I haven't played every patch so perhaps recent zones add new interactions, but I doubt it.
I don't think Genshin exploration is terrible. It's just pretty bland. Especially all the patches that simply added more of the same shit, with a slightly different color palette.
>I don't think Genshin exploration is terrible. It's just pretty bland.
Not that anon, but Fontaine exploration is fantastic, and I actually like BOTW/TOTK.
Ah so you were filtered in mondstadt the literal bland rpg starting zone. Cause the very next area has those stamina/climbing limitations you said are missing and they added new interactions for just about every new region since they're geographically different and didn't wanna frick players over too hard with overhanging cliffs and shit.
Ofc the person talking shit about the game hasn't played beyond what is basically the tutorial area.
I've played through Inazuma.
>Cause the very next area has those stamina/climbing limitations you said are missing
Can you give an example?
Jeuyen Karst, the mountains in west Liyue. Even at max stamina those frickers are a pain to climb. Insert the other mountainous areas of Liyue. And you're telling me you didn't find navigating Inazuma islands a pain cause of all the overhanging cliffs?!??
Also hard doubt you played in inazuma when you're still calling genshin graphics AND exploration shit cause absolute Kino like Serai Island, Tsurumi Island and Enkanomiya all exist in Inazuma.
>Jeuyen Karst
You just float on the wind plumes.
>Serai Island
This one was ok. Kind of empty if I remember. Kind of annoying to navigate with some lightning orb fast travel things, similar to random teleport puzzles in other games. Some empty islands on the outskirts with nothing but more random hilichurls. The boss fight sucked.
It did look pretty though.
I don't think I played the other islands you mentioned. Must've been later patches. Sounds like I have to play this shit again to give a more updated opinion.
The wind stuff in Jeuyen Karst is few and far between. If you used only those exclusively to explore them, then you haven't been exploring. Finding obscure paths up random cliff faces into random chests you never found before was kino early patch experience.
>For a game that is almost entirely single player, why the frick should it need forced online?
how moronic are you? they need a connection to make sure your gacha currencies stay consistent with your actions in your account as that's where their whole business model lies, They also need sync all of the changes that happen to your game, like items gained and lost, your location and progress. All of this is needed for a seamless cross-platform experience where you can turn off the game on one device and jump back in on another one. Also the limitation with the fact that it's a mobile game is the size, some people already can't fit the game on their older devices.
None of that is actually necessary. It's possible to structure a game that can update asynchronously, with a warning when data is not being live synced whenever you lose connection. Plenty of console games do this.
> they need a connection to make sure your gacha currencies stay consistent with your actions in your account as that's where their whole business model lies
This is the real answer, and I'm well aware of it. However, I'm also aware that it's sacrificing ideal player experience.
>muh go outside
don't even pretend you're not a basement dweller Black person.
>Compare mechanics to a game like BotW and genshin gets dumpstered
why does genshin always attract seething tendies?
If you want to talk comparisons, BoTW's mechanics actually suck dog dick. Whether it be trying to climb while it's raining or having to go into your inventory to shuffle through items to heal yourself, or play revolving doors to equip the right weapon because a thunderstorm started or your current one broke after two swings. The enemies are a joke too and can be defeated with your eyes closed spamming a single button with a two hander equipped from the perpetual stunlock. Genshin has none of these problems.
>Genshin has none of these problems.
lmao
>Whether it be trying to climb while it's raining
Instead Genshin's climbing is just worse as a whole, any little outcrop in the way of your climb and you'll just fall because the devs are shit and couldn't program the climbing correctly so good luck climbing any ruins.
>to go into your inventory to shuffle through items to heal yourself
Genshin has the exact same shit if you want to heal yourself using items
>The enemies are a joke too and can be defeated with your eyes closed spamming a single button with a two hander equipped from the perpetual stunlock
Genshin is even worse, in fact, Genshin is so bad that they started making every new enemy heavier so that Venti wouldn't trivialize everything, and even then you can still just spam your skills and everything will die, even with a shit character like Klee.
>any little outcrop in the way of your climb and you'll just fall
same problem exists in botw tendie. Genshin's climbing is better for the sole fact that you won't get fricked by things outside of your control like the weather suddenly changing. If you see an outcrop that you think will hinder you then just pick a better path.
>Genshin has the exact same shit if you want to heal yourself using items
completely false moronic tendie, there's a hotkey item that lets you heal yourself immediately in the overworld. And this is completely ignoring the fact that you can have off-field healers in your team.
>Genshin is so bad that they started making every new enemy heavier so that Venti wouldn't trivialize everything
if they weren't heavy and Venti could suck them up you would complain about it being trivialized, so now that there's more variety in enemy weights, you complain about that instead.
>even then you can still just spam your skills and everything will die, even with a shit character like Klee
post your Klee abyss clear bro
>same problem exists in botw tendie.
No it doesn't Black person. Genshin's climbing is worse and the fact that you admit it by trying to evade it with "j-just go another route" is pathetic
> there's a hotkey item that lets you heal yourself immediately in the overworld. And this is completely ignoring the fact that you can have off-field healers in your team.
Yeah because people sure are gonna use the shitty NRE pack, and in BOTW you can get Mipha's blessing that can heal and revive you.
>if they weren't heavy and Venti could suck them up you would complain about it being trivialized, so now that there's more variety in enemy weights, you complain about that instead.
Genshin still has other stunlocks like freeze, or just enemies' staggering/ragdoll animations. Venti was just one example of it.
>P-post abyss
I, just like the vast majority of Genshin players, never gave a shit about the Abyss since it's boring as shit. And you can't cope with anything else since you know I'm right and that the rest of the enemies are easy so even casual f2ps who don't grind can defeat everything.
>Genshin still has other stunlocks like freeze, or just enemies' staggering/ragdoll animations. Venti was just one example of it.
This feel like a patch 1.0 complaint, the game has done every effort to kneecap venti and ayaka/ganyu teams so that perma ccing enemies is impossible
>you can't explore
>w-well you actually can because it's a quest location
shut up Black person
>see this pyramid? You don't explore it
>BUT YOU ACTUALLY DO THOUGH
>having quests and npcs so it's an actual adventure is somehow worse than exploring on your own
Is so funny seeing vtards so mindbroken by a chinese mobige
>Following quest markers while walking through emtpy corridors and mini arenas is exploring
Which game has more WORDS WORDS WORDS, Genshin or Golden Sun?
Genshin by far at least GS had moments of shutting the frick up
you should have dipped immediately when the feeling hit
i have seen countless people who still stick to this game because of suck cost or habit even though they dont even like the game anymore
i just dropped it long ago and went back to play regular games that didnt feel like a second job
immediately cured my gacha addiction
But I need to save Primos for the new characters bro...
Been playing since 1.1 non-stop and still not tired
You will burnout if you treat it like your average gacha with a focus on rolling, building and optimizing characters. The game's focus is clearly on the casual exploration and world-building, not combat
I been playing from day one and still haven’t hit burn out because I’m not a moron that only plays one type of game.
Been playing since day 1 as well and dropped the game when Enkanomiya came out. I came back recently to roll for Wrio and have been having fun going through everything I missed. Try taking a break anon
>I only log in for the daily
first gacha?
Because Fontaine fricking sucks. I liked the stupid desert more.
can you rewatch cutscenes now? I stopped a long time ago and I forgot everything about it, and don't like watching in on Youtube when there are dialgoe choises
Because I'm already playing both Arknights and Fallen London and I don't have patience for three very grindy games.
There are people STILL playing fricking Fallen London???
... what's Arknights like?
It has actual gameplay. I don't think it's exceptionally difficult, but it's hard enough that a noticeable portion of the community uses community-made guides to beat stages rather than actually coming up with the solutions themselves.
I would not describe it as 'very grindy' though - it takes about 10 minutes to use up 12 hours worth of sanity, so most of the time you're just running autodeploys for 10 minutes in the morning and then 10 minutes again in the evening.
>Fallen London
wtf that game still exists? does it get updates?
Yep, regular updates and Exceptional Stories every month.
London recently was invaded in the last Estival and everyone had to go and fight for its defense. The Masters finally got out of their asses, even.
All the characters look the same, have the same standing poses, same run etc.
Started bothering me more and more. I collect characters in gacha games for their uniqueness. If they all look and move the same then what's the point?
godlike take, i felt the same way
Because the moment I decide to go back to the game I am bombarded with unskippable filler dialogue that I will forget within a day.
Genshin is 90% filler 9% grinding artifacts 1% gameplay
Blue Archive and even Star Rail respect my time more
If I am a pure gameplaygay with zero interest on exploring or waifus will I like this game?
sure, for how long is other question
No you wont
Genshin is an archaeology simulator
You're the first person to really get it. People always ask me why I like it so much, and they never understand why when I explain how much I love exploring new landscapes, Delving into ruins, meticulously checking every inch for hidden treasures and immersing myself in fictional cultures. Also, I like coming home from grinding for artifacts all day just so I can boot up genshin and grind for artifacts.
T. Archaeologist. Here's a cool Artifact (real) I found.
God no.
Why not? Genshin combat is pretty fun to figure out and it has LOTS of minigames and content like puzzles and stuff, up to proper trading card game.
Exploration is the main appeal of course, but until you max out chars - progression and combat are very good. Story content as well (though not all).
Because it has the depth of a puddle. If anon has a focus on gameplay he should go for an actual action game, not the watered down Genshin combat.
I recommend he install a PS2 emulator and play DMC3.
The minigames are similarly watered down. If the card game sounded interesting, play Library of Ruina instead, which is no joke the best cardbattler in the market right now.
DMC3 is much easier than Abyss tbh. I don't know why DMC-gays are so autistic.
LOL
I don't even know what to say. You understand that women can easily beat the abyss by simply using the correct team, right? (Hence why the game is so popular with women.)
>women lol.
This is why you're a virgin anon. And I don't use that insult often.
I have nothing against women, I'm just saying that women on average are worse than men at video games, and there's a reason why Genshin is so popular with women. (Because it is rather easy.)
Go on, try to get a girl who plays Genshin to complete DMC3. She would most likely find it extremely difficult (because it is, by comparison) and give up before Cerebus. It just is what it is.
Anon these are videogames. Videogames aren't hard. They're just a subject matter. Not harder than any job or life itself. Women gravitate towards games like Genshin and not because Animal Crossing not because they're easy, but because they're cute.
Abyss is literally big number kind of difficulty, of course it's harder. But it isn't as fun or interesting to play.
>Because it has the depth of a puddle.
i entirely and radically disagree.
I am old GBF player, the "mathgame", theorycrafting and team building and Genshin requires quite a few of it as well unless you just copy recommended teams from web or something. I spent a lot of time trying different characters, abilities, combinations, doing math etc. - and its very fun, achieving top optimization.
Plus many characters have very different combat mechanics and routine at all, so you have a lot of variety how you want to play. And at least in begining, theres enougth content to somewhat challenge you.
But that's not action gameplay, which is what I'm talking about. If anon is into optimizing damage numbers fair, but I'm talking about the pure mechanical part, the execution. That one is very simplistic, he should go for Yakuza or DMC, like I said.
All of the gameplay you're referring to is essentially the same in the input part, just with different colors. It's more strategical optimizing then action gameplay, and that's fine, but anon might be looking for something else.
If he IS into that I recommend the game for sure. Also there's Yomi Hustle for a different kind of strategy, it might not be the same but I can rec it, it is really fricking good.
>tfw DMC game with 10+ different cute girls to play as and dress up never fricking ever
this is part of why i finally started accepting Chinese anime games. the Japanese just wanna produce turn based mid or button masher games like Tails of. Senran Kagura should literally be DMC with cute girls, but it's a shitty musou instead.
>gameplaygay
Must be painful being one of you in this era of "huge empty open world so you can explore and some random landmarks and dungeons with copypasted content" of gaming.
Not the combat gameplay. The exploran and puzzle solving is entertaining enough, but combat is pretty much brainless.
>but combat is pretty much brainless.
thats entirely wrong
If you have max level strong chars team - then yes, it becomes just mindless repetition except for abyss and some events. But leveling up and upgrading world level and fighting different stuff is pretty fun, until you hit artifact grind wall.
Come on man, I like Genshin but the combat is not very deep. It's satisfying at first because of animations and sound design, but it's very shallow.
>but it's very shallow.
how is it shalle when you need month to actually understand all mechanics since theres a lot of them and theres dozens of chars and unique abilities and them all interacting together
Every party and chars create entirely different combat routine and mechanics.
The only "shallow" part about is, that its easy to outgrow the content, and now the only challenge is "hardcore" modes in events.
>rotate characters pressing skill/ult
>end rotation on DPS for max damage by usually spamming 1 button
>rotate again
>repeat ad nauseam
>win shitty over inflated health enemies with your DPS check or lose
some of the bosses are fun but dont act like abyss is even remotely interesting.
I agree with you but that is a problem with abyss design and not with the combat system. Abyss being a shitty dps check maliciously designed to stall for time while putting you on a timer.
Genshin's combat system is deep, fun and allows for a great deal of player expression.
It isn't deep, anon.
is right on point- the combat is very simple and limited. The actually complex part is in teambuilding.
Yes, and that's what I enjoy. I fricking love elemental reactions. I love alchemy-type combat systems. Same reason I why liked Dragon Age,
>Sleep and enemy, cast a psychological spell, they take more damage.
>Petrify/freeze enemy, throw a boulder at them, they shatter.
It's cool to do these things, it adds depth, more so than [Swinging Sword in Different Ways] type combat.
Mechanics being unintuitive and hidden from view doesn't mean that it's deep, anon. 90% of Genshin combat is dictated by stats, stats you either get by leveling up or leveling up artifacts. World level scales up too, regardless of your input. It's only once you hit abyss where the field is leveled, and even then 99% of it is just having a good artifact set and weapon.
Yes, you still have to build an effective team, but unless you want to intentionally gimp yourself there are only a few worth investing in.
I don't get why you need it to be so complex though. It's fine as a casual exploran/waifu-collectan game. No need to pretend like it's the best action game ever.
> Every party and chars create entirely different combat routine and mechanics.
Sure;okay, but for that to happen you actually need to have multiple viable characters to choose from. And for that to happen you need to pay, and/or play, for a long, long time, the game ,while it's still shallow, for 100+ hours.
There's no real incentive to hit the depths of genshin for someone that a deep from the get go games like Monster Hunter, or even action MMOs, because it's so obviously designed to milk you dry and doesn't feel rewarding at all.
Every part of the customization is gatekept by bullshit grinding or money, or both.
Even the abyss is not hard mechanically. It's hard because the numbers you need to pass it are kept out of your hand artificially. And even then it's the only truly enjoyable thing about the game in my opinion. But whatever. keep playing vampiric trash fake games if you enjoy them, (i did play some very bad MMOs as a teen after all tho it wasn't as bad as any gacha game), but you will die one day, why spent too much time on them, or even worse, defend them on mongolian carpetweaving forums
note : i said Monster Hunter because it's by itself notorious for its single player grind.
this grind, while famous, and sometimes lengthy depending on what you want to do, is about 100x more pleasant and less taxing than any of GI's artifact or character grinds and there's never the option to spend money on it. if you need to grind because you like it, there are options that don't drain your wallet.
>be me
>start playing for the waifus
>keep playing for everything else
No. Exploration is what you're going to be doing 90% of the time. The combat is basic af
no
the combat is boring too, just like the rest of the game
Why are SEAmonkeys afraid of male characters?
sry I don't play weebslop gachatrash
I haven't seen the info on Furina yet, is she better than Yolanda or Xingqiu in hyperbloom?
She is Yelan/Kokomi, and gets a third aspect of onfield dps at C2
Absolutely the #1 hydro unit in the game after she comes out, like how Nahida is the undisputed #1
so, was the Furina having a vision pic posted yesterday a fake?
I have 300 rolls banked. I am not sure who I will go for. I might skip this round unless Neuv's trial shows that he is very fun to play.
I do want some of the 4 star cons, but alas.
i used to laugh at guys sitting in front of these
now i laugh at you
I got burnt out of it haven't played in 3 months I noticed that I rather play other games than grind for mats daily
Because I just can't with this game's writing. It's so fricking banal and pedantic. Nothing ever happens and you have to sit through a bad VN for 15 hours or wear your mouse out for 6 by constantly clicking through the text every quest.
Gender-bending reminder
So i'm kinda new to this game and just to confirm: if you want a specific charcter, you're pretty much shit out of luck until the game graces us with a banner containing them? Is that right?
I really want Rosalia to complete the duo with Diluc but it just seems impossible to get her.
4* can be obtained on any banner, but it will be very hard if they're not on rate up. Limited 5* can only be obtained on their dedicated banner.
Pretty much. You CAN technically luckshit your way into your 4-star of choice on any banner, but the odds are very low. I'd wait for a Rosaria banner if I were you.
>any thread for any game
>DMC-homosexuals sperg out
geez
i prefer Tower of Fantasy, i don't like Genshin's tag-in system or all the elemental color matching mini-games.
>Tower of Fantasy
That's still alive? I thought it died like 2 weeks after debut.
I played it since launch and dropped it during Sumeru. Too many kawaii uguu~ animal designs, homosexual banners, underground areas and sand dunes.
Stfu. We all know you're still in /gig/ being a schizo and doing dallies.
Frick off
Stop projecting, I dropped the game for Star Rail and haven't looked back. Though I miss my Raiden, hope she gets her variant in Star Rail soon.
I was actually hoping that Sumeru would include the desert area on release so I was patiently waiting for them to come out once I found out they weren't part of the initial nation. I enjoyed them a lot.
>developers are so fricking cynical they refuse to fix borked mechanics like Geo or add a skip button which forces you to sit through their shit tiered hyper garbage written by massive autists
O kotowari shimasu.
I would love their otaku autism paragraphs if it wasn't loocalized by Commifornia troons.
Because it's 30 frames per second on the Playstation 4 Pro even at 720p resolution. Unacceptable.

Because my resin is refilling
What even is the point of energy mechanics
adds a layer of depth that makes you balance between energy recharge and damage, also makes certain teams like mono-element have an advantage in terms of energy generation over pure reaction based teams.
Energy allows players to balance out their moveset with useful tools like weapons and artifacts. With Energy Recharge, a player does not have to rely solely on DPS and Crit-Rate to rotate characters, it can allow players to do heavy damage while maximizing the amount of potential options per rotation.
>2 morons respond not knowing you meant resin
christ
Then maybe he should've said resin? Either you're a moron for assuming he meant resin, or he is for not specifying when there is literally another thing in the game called energy.
>Either you're a moron for assuming he meant resin,
he literally meant energy in gacha games you moron, that's why he said mechanics
>Energy Mechanic.
There's is an ENERGY RECHARGE MECHANIC at the very core of the combat system Black person. If he meant Resin he should've/could've said so.
he said MECHANICS you stupid moron. as in multiple games. he meant gacha energy mechanics
>reiterating
Concession accepted Black person.
>no argument
cope accepted homosexual
Already said my argument. You repeated that with was already refuted. Back to plebbit with you!
your 'refutation' was you stating your misunderstanding of what the op meant
if he meant that then why hasn't he clarified to a single one of the replies stating that? It's obvious you're wrong and moronic.
he didn't clarify my post either. he saw the braindead replies and closed the tab
gacha. It's an anchor stat weighing you down. Because instead of rolling that double crit artifact you are forced to use one with ER to meet your character's 200% ER breakpoint because Mihomosexual intentionally gave them shitty energy particle generation.

Because the main story is so fricking boring and so fricking long that I can't take this shit anymore. Even on autoplay alt tab it still takes 10 hours. 10 fricking hours of pointless dialogues, constantly repeating everything already said 2 minutes ago. I took a break halfway through the Fontaine quest and didn't even do the last event, I'm going straight to another big break.
I'll personally hand over dawei the letterbomb if Furina doesn't apply more hydro than a random 4* from the release of the game.
>300+ hours of content for free

I'm not sure what the complaint is then

idk I can't be convinced this is a gay game when Yae's legs exist
you talk like a muslim
>legs aren't sexy
You talk like someone who only learned the basics of what people find attractive.
wtf i love muslims now
woke has gone far beyond homosexuals and dykes anon, but forsook them entirely in pursuit of the new frontier.
>gender theory, troons, groomers and pedophiles, and man made mental illnesses most normal people couldn't even image or comprehend until shown.
Run of the mill gays and lesbs are our allies now, that's how mental things have become.
Also cute boys have always been a thing in anime and related media. Don't out yourself as tourist next time.
>Also cute boys have always been a thing in anime and related media.
e-girls have also been a thing in anime for decades yet they cause the reddit tourists from 2016 to seethe and have regular melties.
Don't blame them when e-girlgays make it too easy.
>e-girls have also been a thing in anime for decades yet they cause the reddit tourists from 2016 to seethe and have regular melties.
AND THAT'S A GOOD THING
e-girls and shotas filter out tourists
No one cares about the shotas, especially not the schizos that seethe about e-girls
Not sure what you're smoking. Onee-shota is one of the most popular genre in H doujin, liked by both men and women.
I think that's his point. Normalgays are mostly okay with /ss/, but will lose their minds over e-girl content
true, which is why e-girlposting is integral to the health of the board and the website overall.
It was a mistake not to gatekeep the frick out of the redditors flooding in during the 2016 election.
we still can. Never give up anon. If they complain about e-girlposting, then e-girlpost harder. Their seething is like leeches being scorched.
>No one cares about the shotas
Thank God. Shota content may be rare, but we don't get as harassed as e-girlgays do.
While you're lucky enough to not have to deal with the reddit cancer, whatever affects e-girls also affects shotas given how the actions taken by woke payment processor companies end up shitting on both of them.
I will never forgive AI art for what it did to Fanbox. Frick those pedophiles and frick israeli credit card companies.

Nah. I'd rather laugh at you. Please, proceed to act as a clown for my amusement.

I've kept my bennet at C5 for over a year and a half and I only used him with Eula. Now that I have Shenhe can I C6 him?
Or you could use both Shenhe and Bennett. C6 Bennett is for Burgeon teams and Pyro DPS's.
Well I do have Dehya, Hu Tao, Diluc. Only Hu Tao is leveled though Outside of the 5*s the only pyro SRs I've leveled are Yanfei and Xiangling.
As far as Burgeon goes I keep Nahida with Raiden and Yelan, Tighnari isn't fully leveled and neither is Collei
>I kinda want to play proper Burgeon but don't want to play Thoma
Destroy all males!
Is it even viable these days for a newcomer to get into Genshin Impact? I mean, by now the game should have a huge amount of content that most people would find it overwhelming.
I started playing a few weeks ago, it seems normal enough to me. Just that you can't upgrade some characters until you get way later in the game. Then again, you likely won't get these characters (I got one for free in some event, can't upgrade until I get to the newer area.)
Its pretty staggered by zones which some are story locked others you can just pick a direction and walk to the new area to explore it, just know resources are area specific so if you get any not-japan characters you are screwed from levelling them till you get to part 3 of the story missions.
more so than ever. You have 4 gigantic zones to explore and 3 years of content and quests.
This shit was barren in 1.x for comparison.
i don't miss when autisticaly hunting for chests/oculi was somewhat required to advance the main quest.
in what way was it required?
>huge amount of content that most people would find it overwhelming
You people are made of rabbit skin or what? Huge amount of content is a good thing
Furina's hat is made for lewding
>genshit
>world building
haha
Feel free to prove the contrary
Is Furina losing her Archon status a meme leak like her being a half dragon?
I'm going to laugh myself into a fricking coma if Dragon King Neuville doesn't manage to break 50k on Paimon and loses against Kokomi's 4th rerun.
That's all.
I understand when some people are scared of spiders, lion, snake or shit. But this is the first time I witness someone scared of words.
Now that I think about it, american love to censor words in their speech (f word, n word, r word...etc) and care more about the words themselves (like Black person) instead of the intent.
rabinismo! looks like anon think americans censor words, because he says americans shorten a few words, which he implies it is because they are scared of words, while not caring about meanings! now let’s fetch the tax report for madame ching ching !
>Why aren't you playing Genshin Impact, anon?
Because it's a glorified visual novel, and not a good one, with an empty open world slapped on which serves zero purpose.
Isn't every game a glorified visual novel by your definition?
Is tetris a VN?
I obviously meant every game with a story
No, but if that's how you want to cope then you're free to do so.
I played that trash 3 years ago.
While the initial exploration can be fun, game has many problems that quickly become apparent. The whole thing is just a trap to keep you engaged long enough to hopefully convince you to spend hundreds of dollars on characters that are entirely pointless because the gameplay is too shallow and easy too care.
Endlessly grinding dailies to get pennies worth of virtual currency each day so that you can endlessly grind even longer, except with new characters that are functionally identical.
The only challenging content is a monthly speedrun challenge that rewards more currency, so the characters you bought and leveled can maybe provide a small discount in buying the next character.
The story is forgettable shit, up through the Inazuma content I played. Maybe it gets better 200 hours in. I don't care. I doubt it though, considering the whole point is to forcibly introduce hundreds of new characters to sell.
>Playing words words words
>nobody care about NPC
>fans made a whole ass animated movie about a NPC
Is it worth investing in this piece? The stats are good but characters who play this set usually want HP and ER.
Stop replying to the moron who shitpost on cooldown and help me out
It might be useful to keep around since some characters who use Milelith also use Favonius weapon and those need some amount of crit to work
You got Yelan or C6 Nilou?
is a fine cope piece for Yelan until you get 4pc Emblem
ching chong ping pong
The characters are stupid small children. No story hook. Not enough enemy variety and strategy.
I noticed that Genshin receives the highest amount of criticism of any game I've ever seen, most of it made up shit or a matter or preference. Is it a byproduct of mogging literally everything else?
It's all 100% Tendies. China gaming is a threat to them. That's why they're all over games like Genshin and Honkai because they make Nintendo games but better aside from gacha.
good to know botw still lives rentfree in the heads of mentally ill third worlders
>Is it a byproduct of mogging literally everything else?
Yes. Arknight and Honkai fans are so insecure about Genshin that a simple tweet sent them into impotent rage for weeks.
>Arknight and Honkai fans are so insecure about Genshin that a simple tweet sent them into impotent rage for weeks.

>filtered by grass
I wish the world was more lively, they could do a lot more with the npc and the cities
They can't do that without exploding mobile users phone, same reason why it never rains in main cities and why they avoid adding too many playable characters in the same place, there is a loadout limit
isn't the new iphone able to do that? or at least make it an option so pc/console players can see extra npcs.
official channels wouldnt drop spoilers 2 patches earlier... they'll publish another one shortly before the 4.3 drip with a new one, like they did for the 3 fatuis, but listing a vision.
it's already out bro.
>it's already out bro.
Yes?
>west cucked version loocalized by AGS for MODERN AUDIENCES.
That's not a real release anon.
i have yet to see a single example of this game's open world being fleshed out
you know, a reason why genshills praise the game so bad
is it actually as detailed as gta? do the npcs feel alive? does the world feel like a believable world instead of being a lifeless backdrop for your selfies? what activities can the player do in this open world besides the handful few (exploring for enemy camps, chests, oculi, materials, completing domains) that players have been doing since day 1?
When's her rerun?
They fricked up by not rerunning her on October 27th with a real Subzeruz Festival event.
what if they give her another pv for it on her birthday?
I guess it's better than nothing, but would feel weird the next time we see her in an event that isn't on her birthday.
Racial differences are real. I don't have the Chinese part of the brain that makes a person want to dress up like a girl and enjoy shallow superficial stories
case in point

So is she the archon or not?
If mihoyo put out fake leaks to fool everyone I will bow to da wei's genius
She likely is, and that switching between Ousia and Pneuma makes her Focalors and Furina respectively
Waiting for Blue Protocol
it flopped, even in Japan. And before you called me an antis, I'm as disappointed as you are.
NTA but I'd rather watch the game burn than look at Amazon Game Studio destroy it even more.
I'm glad it flopped
it's improved quite a bit since then, especially gacha. 3% rates for costumes and hard pity at 110 rolls. class balance made some classes more fun to play and, uh i've no idea what else people were complaining. probably trivial shit no one should care about, like the devs not talking during a gameplay showcase stream.

>exploration is le reward
holyshit this sounds like something written by an underage
moron
Wait until he finds out about Google Streetview, he's gonna shit his pants from all the exploration he can do.
I'd say it's the opposite. Teenagers today need some sort of in-game reward to play games.
Just playing because the game is fun sounds like something 30+ year old dude would say. Like when we played CS 1.6 on private servers because it was fun, no ranking or matchmaking
Shut the frick up homosexual, boomer games were full of secret rooms with weapons, armor and easter eggs you could find.
NTA but I hate you morons that pretend that games having in game goals and milestones to work towards is somehow antithetical to the idea of fun. It's like hte fricking morons who don't like Monster Hunter having a grind because "you should just hunt for fun" as if the 2 things are mutually exclusive.
And I agree with you? Nobody here said you can't have fun while aiming for something. We just said you don't necessarily need a reward to enjoy a game.

TFW Genshin is a boomer game.
I mean it makes sense. Zoomers don’t have a attention span whatsoever. And that’s required for this game.
Yes. Gacha in general is made for the original gaming audience, which always has a fresh component in the youth. Other games have degenerated greatly, whereas gacha retains the integrity of the medium. Also, it is the place where the most innovation and life can be found in the medium.
/v/, generally, has some of the poorest taste you can find. It is a mirror image of reddit. Strange rationalizations for very poor, lifeless products.
>other games have degenerated greatly so you need to play the slot machine that's a blatant ripoff of a goty game without all the cool physics stuff instead
I don't play games that require me to keep my wallet in arms reach at all times.
That’s a personal problem tendie cuck.
>I don't play games that require me to keep my wallet in arms reach at all times.
Instead you worship a company that does.
You play a slot machine that couldn't even rip off zelda properly.
And you paid $70 dollars for a fricking assetflip DLC lmfao. Frick off tendie b***h.
Why would they rip off something less successful?
I like all of BotW, Genshin, and TotK though...
I don't like slot machines
Not at all. Gacha is where all of the old-school RPGs went as well. That's where the audience went to. See Japan's purchasing habits.
Genshin is a unique game because of it's budget and scale, and that is how it is stretching the medium to a new place. But other games have greatly innovated in the structure of turn-based combat via gacha. Gacha allows the devs to balance things in a very interesting way...because of the inherent limitation of tools.
But more than this, the narrative opportunities...the incredible volume of high-quality art...the excellent music...Gacha is the last bastion of gaming as a medium. As is the gacha audience. Eventually games will go the same way as film and literature, they will die. But for now gacha keeps gaming alive.
Yeah okay you're just a massive homosexual
>the narrative opportunities...the incredible volume of high-quality art...the excellent music...
You don't want games, you want movies like some homosexual snoy. You don't even know that Japs still love traditional JRPGs like Dragon Quest and stuff like Pokemon, and gacha is just what they play as time killers since they're forever stuck at work.
>But other games have greatly innovated in the structure of turn-based combat via gacha
No they fricking haven't, it's all just repeats of what we've already seen for the last 30 years.
> Gacha allows the devs to balance things in a very interesting way...because of the inherent limitation of tools.
Gacha devs barely balance anything since they can't change characters since they can get sued.
You're such a fricking homosexual, have a nice day.

Don't you have a discord call from your daddy to respond to kitten?

Me and two other friends used our school's 128kbps double ISDN to download CS 1.0 and store it 30 different floppy discs, it took 4 hours.
I want to go back.
>lower caps millennial/zoomer feigning apathy
Irony-poisoned. It’s literally the opposite of what you’re >implying
Zoomers need some sort of gay ass progression. They need tacked on rpg elements to level up, they need a battlepass to complete, they need to be able to spin a wheel for rewards (fricking forza is the most zoomer poisoned shit), they need the carrot on the stick. They can’t play a game and simply enjoy the game, it needs some gay ass profession system.
You homosexual-y ass zoomers don't know shit.
You Black folk talk about "progression systems" because all you play are shitty online only skinner-boxes, doing the same garbage over and over again so the devs slap on battlepasses to keep you homosexuals engaged.
Meanwhile in old games and singleplayer games still today have progression naturally built in. I can go and replay OG Serious Sam and the more I play the more weapons I get, new enemies appear, I fight in new stages with different designs, and the same goes for something more modern like Terraria.
You homosexualy zoomers think you're smart for shit-talking progression when it only reveals what moronic homosexuals you are.
>OG Serious Sam
Nice “name drop” fricking delusional zoomoid. Put a bullet in your head fricking larping shitstain. You are getting upset for no reason
have a nice day Black person, maybe you'll find a better comeback in your next life
Why did you start using caps after being called out for irony poisoning?
Why is your Black person brain trying to use terms it doesn't understand?
Way too stingy and way too old
I'd have to save up for literal years to get who I want. Frick that.
When or how can I get this flat-chested b***h.
Dunno I don't play Nikke I just fap to Drake
Based, but for me playing the game is a prerequisite for fapping.
>shit movement options to traverse the landscape
>shit character designs

>dailies are a chore

I tried but I completely lost interest at the snow mountain patch.

Howsit feel to literally have shit taste?
>shit music
>you can unironically brick yourself if you raise the world level too fast
This is how I know you didn't play the game.
genshin despite having the best gameplay for a gacha is still a gacha and there are walls and walls of text to read.
I swore to never touch another gachashit ever again.
>Why aren't you playing Genshin Impact, anon?
>New patch about to drop.
I'm not playing because the patch hasn't dropped yet, duh.
so what set/substats are we farming for Furina?
Dragon Raja >>>>>>
hilichurl here, i like the doujins i get
I don't fap to your doujins hillibro but I think you do a good enough job in the content that goes through my filters
I ain't touching that prison until I get either Neuv or Wrio. Preferably Wrio which will be sometime in October. I'm just gonna go dark and do dailies and events for freebies. That's right, not even any Genshin threads for spoilers.
>That's right, not even any Genshin threads for spoilers.
That didn't stop me from getting Tears of the Kingdom spoilers on a fricking Genshin thread even with filters specifically for Zelda.
I find it hilarious how the "critics" in this thread can only regurgitate the same made-up shit they have been for nearly 3 years.
Genshin really mindbroke a lot of people. Flavor of the Month for 36 months in a row I guess....
It's almost like people only 'regurgitate' the 'same made-up shit' for nearly 3 years because none of these issue have been addressed the last 3 years.
Nothing has changed.
I mean if I was a dev, I too would have a hard time addressing made up issues in your head.
>dev is infaluable and no criticism is valid nor should it be entertained
Hey Phil Fish, glad to see you haven't killed yourself yet.
Yep just as you make shit up about the game you make shit up about me when I never said that. Thanks for proving my point.
>unrelated schizobabble
Seems like I really riled up the anti-shills.
>state unspecified nebulous claims about "critics" and their "made-up shit"
>claims I'm making shit up when I call you out for it
That's nice Phil Fish, whens Fez 2?
Now making shit up about your own posts....
I'm not one of the voices in your head, schizo. I can't read your thoughts
Next you'll tell me that this post I'm replying to was an insightful remark about the 2004 gaming industry and claim it's a counterargument.
>queue to the guy behind CS simply subtracting 50 from people's displayed ping and suddenly people stopped complaining about lag.
>game has 100 flaws
>none of them are mentioned
That's how you know everyone who complain in this don't play the game
I'm glad I never started playing, and all because the devs were too moronic to add in native controller support for android.
What's furina's best 4 star weapon?
Because Fontaine is fricking utterly boring and the game has been nothing but homobanner for 20 patches in a row.
If you were a VA, would you commission lewds of the characters you voiced?
>dexter's dad

/ourchud/
I will never play chinkshit no matter how hard you shill it

I think you only have eyes for men anon...
>no new female limited 5*s since nahida
YEAR OF gaySHIT
>4* don't count
Just admit you're gay
Correct, they don't count. Now go back to playing with your homos.
The first step is acceptance anon
I'm not the one still playing a homogame.
!!!
It's intent on wasting as much of your time as possible.
4.2 weapon
Gacha trash played by losers who don't value their time or money.
>CD weapon
Weird, I thought it would be HP
It's to bait people into rolling for cons since otherwise she can't into DPS.
She's so cute, I can't
She really is, is a shame her weapon is stuck with the dendo doughnut
Playing Honkai Star Rail
I love how after all the shitting on Genshin ITT, with pushback against their moronic takes the masks are now fully off and it's just tendies still assblasted after 3 years.
Tendies are a literal cult. Doesn’t surprise me any.
Genshin hasnt written a interesting character since Zhongli
The only one that came close was Nahida, but then they fricking tree'd her so now instead of giving her a arc about coping about the death of herself she's completely free of guilt
Nahida was made to appeal to the korean audience, gotta get that NTR fetish going.
That's Furina now.
You didn't play Faruzan's hangout

>so many things

original sin in a game
Genshin will always be low rent zelda at home with reach in your wallet mechanics.
Except it actually has way higher production values than Zelda. The world design in that game looks like a children's project compared to Genshin.
Better directly from my wallet instead of through overpriced action figures (amiibo)

Of fricking course.
