I've got extremely mixed feelings on Genshin Impact. On one hand, I do really like the core gameplay, characters, and world and think its a pretty good casual adventure game. On the other, the level of financial success it has had with its scummy monetization system is undeserved and only means that the people who pushed for stuff like this in games were, in spite of strong resistance from the people that are most vocal about such things in the media, correct (and now even more rich) and the future is only going to be increasingly filled with such monetization schemes.
I have heard only ad reads about Genshin or praise for its art design… But seriously, this looks like micro transaction loot box hell. As someone with impulse control issues due to my ADHD, this game would sap tons of money that I don’t have and I can’t help but hate it for that.
I wish I was into anime girls cause I'd play the shit out of this game.
Wish they made something like this in a Star Wars or Marvel universe.
One of my most loved games in last decade among Witcher 3, Breath of the Wild and FFXIV. I spend 5$ a month for the passive primo income and already have most of th ebroken characters and a lot of other ones with decent gear. I never played any other gatcha, they look like 2D shitty cash grabs, but this just looks and plays like an AAA title with rly good story, combat and a lot of free updates. Everyone should at least give it a try and expirience this amazing game 🙂
that cool steel gag at 14:41 was on point! well dun ser
"What is it about this world where even the clergy has cleavage" Say no more, we found the reason.
I will tell you what it was that attracted people. ITS THE WAIFUS AND HUSBANDOS, just like every other Gatcha game out there. That and the great storytelling, the fun characters and the absolute fucking GUT PUNCH of emotional damage the story can deal out on a whim.
Also, oh god, what happened to Paimons voice?! I like her, but holy shit, why did they make her go from fairly normal for her size to squeaky toy?
Its worth noting that you can very easily get through the entire game without spending a penny on the game. Recent drama aside, you get enough resources just by doing the daily quests and other activities to get at least one ten pull on every banner (usually) and there are regular events that provide more wish resources. You also dont…really get that many ads for the banners, outside of the scrolling banner on the launcher. Honestly, in my experience, most Gatchas dont bother advertising their character banners that much because they know full well that the player base already knows about them and is gunning for their Waifu of the month.
If this game did not have gacha mechanics and complex looking upgrade mechanics i would probably play it. I really dislike gambling with a different name in my video games. Although in games where gacha mecanics exist without microtransations im ok with that. in fact it can be a fun game element. For example in xenoblade 2 additional "blades" can be unlocked randomly through core crystals.
I dislike that the odds of getting a new 5 star hero can be so ludicrously low. it's possible to spend large swathes of money and get naught for it. Why bother?
Full off squawky irritating anime females which make people's ears bleed 😂
Well done. Really like this one.
I sometimes forget that the MC has a voice
Oh noo Genshin Waifu simulator
👌
This isnt oblivion
But Mitch, women DO belong in the chicken! Atleast until they're born, that's why they're called chicks. 😉
The fucking resin system. Its the worst system ive found in any game.
Everything else, the character gacha, the rolls, the tedious n boring puzzles, missions , "exploration", i can handle.. if i can play the game.
This game literally stops you from playing and getting any rewards, UNLESS u cough up money. I dont know how the player base can keep playing this bullshit of a game.
The Attack on Titan influence isn't that subtle either.
CHOCOLATE RAIN
I been free to play for 3 years other then a Welkin Moon pass ($5) a few times a year but it is such a fun game and they give you so many Primo gems for pulling I never payed for wishes. and if you miss the character you want it soon reruns again.
Hold up, when did the main character get a VOICE? When I played this at release he didn't have one.
I got hooked on the artstyle of the world, the level design, the exploration aspect, the achievements and the puzzles, as simple as some may be, all underlined very strongly by a wonderful soundtrack.
Why I stopped playing comes down to the gazillion characters I don't care about (most of which are less than one-dimensional, if that's even possible), voice acting that made me disable dialogue very early on, and a story that's OK but presented like it was written by five-year-olds… for five-year-olds.
As a librarian, I can confirm we do dress and speak like that
I played Genshin for almost two years after launch. It was (and probably still is) an incredible game, with an interesting earth-analogue game world and often genuinely engaging plot. There's tons to do, and the seasonal activities can be a massive amount of fun.
BUT
the game starves you of the resources needed to level up all your characters, and the resources needed to improve your gear, driving you to the cash-shop resource bundles, and every new character needs a whole new slew of resources to bring them up to the point where they can be played with, since the game world levels up around you and you'll soon reach a point where every character needs to be level 80 to be viable.
It ultimately gets viscious and essentially taunts you by giving you gear and characters that are no use to you unless you invest massive amounts of resources in them, which you simply won't have without weeks of grinding or visiting the cash-shop.
I got out. Not everyone is going to be as fortunate….
Clergy cleavage best cleavage.
But jokes aside
Tis the review to rule them all, for none as accurately describe the Paimon!
Say what you will, but I love emergency food
I feel like it's a slight stretch to call any of the Hoyoverse games predatory when they alleviated one of biggest sources of spending pressure by making the pity rate carry over indefinitely, as the vast majority will present the dilemma of having to either horde or spend until you can pull a featured character from a banner or else all those resources will effectively be wasted.
I'd consider a game properly predatory when it resorts to inconveniencing or pestering the player with paywalled features/QoL, time-limited pop-up offers, and other tactics that actively try to get them to spend.
Love the great video…. Keep it up. As genshin gamer till day 1 im happy this one games i will not drop but take break from time to time. If ever other game entice me. I love type of game that have continual content… I dont mind the gacha Im happy to drop money since they deliver what i love content that satisfy my casual need. I enjoy other rpg game like Elden ring, spider man, Palworld however their content end after playing 500-800 gameplay hrs. Gacha games is great game if you learn proper self control so happy you educate ppl in such a way.
