The game is good and the community is creative/fun/weird but mostly chill (of course outside Twitter influence. 70% of our bad reputation come from hater in Twitter)
Our community is mixed bag of people who enjoy the gameplay, story, meme, mini game, glitch, graphic, waifu/ husbando, music and lore. Co-op is optional but most players are polite and kind (especially in Asia server).
Gameplay is… complicated to explain. It honestly depends on your own play style and which character you like the most.
Gacha is optional. You still can get 5 star and not spending money by exploration, quest, daily commission and events. Added to that, 4 star is also broken in Genshin.
Wait, what questionable situations about genshin are you talking about? Is it about the lolis? That's pretty standard to anime and anime games lol. Only 7 out of 65+ characters are lolis. The rest are mostly adults and teens.
Also, the majority of the playable characters in the game has no official age except for some and the gods.
Also also, genshin isn't that confusing on it's combat and gameplay mechanics since it slowly tells you about them to avoid overloading players. Like you have an entire tutorial region to learn them. Maxor just like to blast them all within 5s mixed with sarcasm and jokes.
I will say this: there is not a single high level character, weapon, or artifact that you need to succeed, that is locked behind a pay wall. In fact, the only items that are behind a paywall are skins and a set of moderately high level weapons that you can absolutely do without. I play for the story, which is far too complex for my meager writing skills to attempt here. I choose to roll on characters based on who I like and how they add to the lore, not on how well they fight, yet I do well in combat. I have been playing for over a year and have never felt a need to spend money; I am ftp. Sometimes I feel a little guilty about that, but then I remember that Hoyolab has earned FOUR BILLION DOLLARS on this game and has spent NINE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS on its development, and I feel less guilty.
That's right, more has been SPENT on Genshin's development than some AAA games have EARNED in their entire run.
21:53 People like to cry about how you "must use money" no the reality is you dont need to. You can if you want but just by playing a lot you can get the characters/weapons you want.
the lore is the main reason i play the game and much of it is quite dark, like who the Hilichurals actually are for example (that i won't reveal because of spoilers) and multiple cases of human sacrifice (including children), i have not played since version 2.6 (it is on version 3.5 now) though as i got a little too addicted to the gacha and it is a money trap (i am pretty poor already so suffice to say i avoid playing it), so i watch videos of people playing it and learn the lore that way now
Also Nahida is at least 500 years old but still young by god standards (so don't lewd her)
Basic story, a set of twins, Aether and Lumine, get separated by an unknown god and you choose one of them and you have to travel around to find the other and at one point, you do find them but they tell you to experience Teyvat and see for yourself and that still hasn’t been finished
there is no conclusion in the story yet 😀 in this video (which is completely caught up with the game somehow) shows 4 ''lands'' and there are alteast 3 more to come in the future maybe more.. who knows..basicly you are looking for your lost twin who got ''kidnapped'' at the very beginning of the game.. and we know that the person who did it is some sort of a god or something.. and this world is ruled by 7 gods who won the god war many years ago.. so basicly we are traveling through each nation while looking for said ''being'' and gathering information and power to beat them.. each Nation however has its own problem which we need to solve before meeting the god in ''charge'' of that nation to ask them questions and then we move on to the next one 😀 for the paying topic.. you dont need to pay anyhting.. all locations/quests/events are free to play.. only thing you can pay is characters and weapons but you can like save up while playing so its not like you cant get new characters while not paying.. it will just be less characters than those who pay 😀 like you wont be able to get them all but alteast like a half of them..
I don't know what red flags you are talking about. Children in this game are just normal kids, if you see something concerning about these characters you are wrong, they are just cute and funny
18:55 no its not hes just memeing if you understand what that is like 80% of hes video is a meme thats why its entertaining so dont take everything he said is Accurate Fact and even if it is true it has 65million active player and still growing and 500k to 1M players online it depends when what day or if theres events it can go up more! also its questionable because of the normies who dont like anime style game and people who hates genshin for some reason and people who spends money and then hated the game afterwards when you can laterally play the game without spending money… i been playing for 3years and spend $0 Best F2P game! for a mobile game its masterpiece!!! the only way i will quit this game is ether the game is done or i D!E.
Also very important the game Has the Best Combat System ever made!
You reacted. To Genshin. By max0r. Are you guys sure you're still okay after that?
2:18 MORPHEUS PULL ME OUT
its not 18,though, its different by state and country 😛
Cant wait for you to cover slimecicles dead space video
I know genshin is not everyone's game. as a player for 2 years, this game has good story, fun gameplay and good musics.
gacha/gambling systems actually not that bad, this game is friendly to free players, really and you don't have to spend any cent to genshin.
for some children are playable in the game is not represent any bad intentions, rather some people took the joke seriously.
my team is klee, kazuha, bennet, and Barbara.
Genshin is a very fun game that can consume your life if you enjoy the style. It's able to be played without any in-game purchases, but you are then relying entirely on luck.
The story goes that the main characters, selectable between a male and female sibling, are traveling the cosmos and come across Teyvat where they are attacked by an unknown God. The one you choose drops to the land and is left needing to search for their now missing sibling. You start in Mondstat and learn the first bit of the world as you help them deal with their dragon-god(ish) problem.
Following Mondstat you head to Liyue to ask about your sibling, where you learn more about the world after their god is killed by someone/something unknown. You barely manage to stop a group known as the Fatui from doing bad stuff only to find out you didn't stop them and now have to help with Liyue's dragon-god problem. Twice. And then you help with a different dragon-god problem afterwards.
You then head to Inazuma to ask their god about your sibling only to realize that the god is a problem. After becoming embroiled in their civil war, you find out the Fatui are doing some bad just and barely manage to put a stop to it, only to find out that you failed to put a stop to it. You then fight the god of Inazuma and make her realize that people don't like the way she is ruling, so she changes her ways.
After Inazuma is Sumeru, where you go to ask the god of knowledge about your sibling. You find out that the Academia are doing so bad stuff to the citizens and the god, so you work to put a stop to them. Along the way, you find out the the Academia are being supported by the Fatui so you put a stop to them by fighting the Academia's god. Not the god of knowledge, mind you. They rejected her.
I enjoyed your reaction! So, Genshin is a huge game. There is no way I can even start to explain the purpose or story, let alone the world lore of the game in a single comment.
If you are genuinely interested in more information about the game, I would suggest you react to a review by another youtuber called Necrit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Od-0F93fl8
His review is really long, almost 1 hour, but it's really good. It's much calmer and gives way more information, with less meme-ing than Maxor. I think you would really understand the game way more if you watched Necrit's video.
As for me, I've been playing Genshin since it released and I can definitely say that it's very fun. I'm not planning on stopping any time soon. It's also been getting better and better with every patch (which is every 6 weeks), and there is currently A LOT of content for any new players who might be starting out right now. I'd say that Genshin should be played as a casual game. The Gacha systems could be dangerous for anyone who's susceptible to gambling / doesn't have self-control, but as long as you can control your spending habits and you don't take it too seriously, there is a lot you can get out of the game.
he took clips from past 2 years from what i could tell
4:50 In the easiest way explained:
Lvl1: fish a fairy
Lvl100: rebel against God, defeat the devil and masacre humanity
If you want to see another wacky anime with history facts. I would like to recommend "the history of girls und panzer series" by potential history.
The story is surprisingly good, and the underlying lore is even gooder
I wouldn't know where to even start
There's a channel called Ashikai that has a bunch of great lore videos, there's one explaining the story so far I think
The game is fine in terms of content, the "questionable" thing is the degenerate subset of the community. Fandoms di be like that, it's better to just enjoy things on your own.
16:42 please note that nothing Max0r says should be taken as fact. The guys he was just fighting are basically thieves and bandits.
Genshin Impact is actually an extremely good game and you absolutely don't need to spend 1 penny on it.
you really only spend if you want
and the game is updated every month and a half so it's not a game made to be played 10 hours a day every day in a maximum of 2 hours you can do everything you need
Personally, I would not recommend it unless you have the patience, self-control and not care how others play it. I didn't built my teams, luck did. I just use what works with what I have.
Kit! You need to watch Halo – Fan Animation – Remember by SODAZ.
This may actually have a time limit if 343 decides to copyright him.
Well there a reason why everyone fell bad about Hilichurls is that later we get to know many sad thing about their story and life. Basically there was huge nation that was living with out god – Khaenri'ah. So gods dont like it, destroy it and cursed everyone there to become monsters. Kids, adults just everyone. And now they live in pain for eternity.
They was still remembering who they was. But after time they loose themselfs.
It's huge part of the story of Genshin. Because this nation don't want to to give up so easily. And during that battle they kicked the crap out of all the other nations.
And those nations still feel the consequences to this day.
Not to mention the fact that the people of that nation became not only hilichurls but other monsters as well. And most of them united in the Abyss Order. A group that wants to take revenge on the gods, break the curse, and restore their nation. And who have long been plotting against everyone and everything.
He said one thing in the video that very much fits the description of this situation. "It is a post-apocalyptic world". The apocalypse is the destruction of the khaenri'ah.
After which the whole world went f*cked up. And everything started to fall apart.
So basically it's truly is post-apocalyptic world
Don't take it seriously sir even maxor said it , just take it as entertainment. Genshin really cool sir, the story good and become more darker as far we get. The age 18th consent this game is more of the story and the mechanics. The music, the exploration of environment really relaxing. Even hearing the music and some of the story make me emotional 😭. This game is free even u can get those 5star, just patient and self control. U won't know if u not try it. For my team , my favorite element is Geo(earth) because i dumb at evading , Geo element give u protection and high raw damage without doing much combo. And i love spear/polearm weapon because it's the fastest weapon in game. U should try it sir, at least
4:30 She's more of a chuunibyou if you're weeb…or LARPer if you're normie.
6:20
I personally love weapons with elemental mastery because I am a SUCKER for elemental reactions!
My favorite character, however, is Xiao. The only one who doesn't do a lot of elemental reactions.
19:05
He was just goofing around. Your stuff is safe. The game is fun and you won't mess up your device with it. The game is addicting and also the best thing I've ever played. I HIGHLY recommend you play it, but do it with a friend! It's much more fun with a friend!
21:53
No! You CAN spend money to make it easier, but you can still play and enjoy the game for free and do just as well! It takes more effort and time, but you don't have to spend money!
Let’s just say that for the updates the game has had, unless you've got a PHd in Kingdom Hearts bullshit-ery, you may not make heads or tails.
这哥们有不少偏见，相比起游戏内容，他更在意的或许是“政治”，其实原本视频内容相对来说优点和缺点比较平均，但不少做相关反应视频的人抱有不轨的想法，作为原神的粉丝感觉蛮别扭的。
not gonna lie he looks like john wick
I mean, it's fine, it's not for everyone.
Honestly, the story is pretty pg-13 (if you don't count background lore, which goes dark at some points, kinda in the Dark Fantasy territory, which is awesome btw, but for the most part it's wholesome, sometimes the humour is childish tho. At times, some of the stories are really moving. There are multiple of them, and then there's a main story.)
You mention the child characters are your red flag. Let me assure you, Genshin goes nowhere but wholesome when it comes to those characters. But I get it, Anime kinda trained us to see kids in anime and think, "oh, you better not…". Well, Genshin does not. Lol.
It's not pay to win either, since there's no pvp and several Youtubers have been playing the game free and already proved you can clear the game without spending a dime (I can also attest to that, lol. Haven't paid for a character yet). I get that some people are more susceptible to this tho, so proceed with caution regardless.
For the story, Max0r was mainly memeing. It's kinda like inside jokes, but I get that from the outside looking in, it sounds awful. Lol
I'm not selling Genshin, like I said, it's not for everyone. Just trying to clarify misconceptions about the game.
The ip tracking is game related and it shuts down when you're not playing the game. I'm not too familiar with it, so if anyone can explain it better, please do.
But that's it. Hope this helped?
Don't take what Max0r says too seriously. He vastly exagerates aspects of the game for comedic effect, but it is generally a pretty good game.
6:20 if you have a main dps that's a catalyst. i would highly recommend that you use otherworldly story, you pretty much heal yourself every time you pick up an elemental particle.
I'm glad I got off that train a year and a half ago, and went back to it's less popular older sister, Honkai Impact 3rd. I'm not going back to it ever.
I would rather be subjected to the depression heavy Evangelion inspired story of cute girls undergoing galactic levels of psychological trauma of the latter than the former. Which also shoves quantum metaphysics, religion and philosophy in a gacha game.
Most of everything he says in these videos are jokes, Genshin does have a really strong anti-cheat so the joke about China trying to spy on you just writes itself
"funny numbers" is a perfect way to describe
The Story of the Game is a masterpiece it's really Complex and you can't Just say this Person is Evil, because that person that a good Motive for their actions. For Starters, it Starts with two sibkings, twins, Aether and Lumine who are Said to be Stars, coming to Teyvat(the worlds Name) and wanting to leave it when a unknown god encounters them and doesn't allow it, taking either the sister(or the Brother depending who you choose as Option) away and you as the twin wake Up and found a travel companion going on a Long Journey searching for your sister throught all Seven Nations, (currently the Game is Not even half way throught, so only 4 Nations), all 7 Nations have or had a god, that is also called Archon(each of These gods has their own Element and their own ideal), while you travel throught These Nations you search for the 7 Archons and come across crisis in the Nations that you lend a Hand to solve and rescue. On your Journey you also Encounter many people under normal ones the characters that have Special Powers, using one of the the 7 elements. Discovering backstories,… There is a lot to say, I recommend playing it yourself, it's worth it!
If you haven't reacted to the Character Demos yet I would react to the Genshin Impact Character Demos!
You know Nahida isnt supposed to be a fighter but the fact that the 500 year old child prisoner can do 30+ k damage tto mostly anything when paired with electro and hydro via playing hopscotch is a fucking threat.
this hellscape game catches u as soon as you get to your first adventure, ive been playing for almost 2 years and regrettably spent $250 on only 3 characters, i have taken breaks off the game because it can get very draining at times, but it is fun when your not forcing yourself to play it.
though its not to say you NEED to pay to make an impact, heck i use characters that i haven't spent a penny on and its one of my most powerful teams. Genshin isnt for everyone and it can get very slow at times, especially late game. Currently the story is on its 4th region and those who have already played all the story are only able to do daily commisions and spend their resin (basically ur daily money tbh) and really its a huge game with exploration that will take you days to weeks and even months to complete.
All the different elements interact with each other to make different reactions which deal increased damage to enemies, and usually your team will correlate with the reaction you want. For example, vaporize is when fire and water meet, and certain characters can be thrown together to make that reaction happen over and over again, like what maxor used in the video he dubbed "hot shower by force" in the liyue section, having Hu Tao, Yelan, Xingqiu, and Thoma, which is full of fire and water characters.
For me and many others, i have multiple teams i quite like which cause different reactions, sometimes more than one reaction, but the one i use most is Yelan, Alhaitham, Lisa, and Yaoyao. Yelan is a water/hydro applier and is great for exploration with her elemental skill allowing you to run pretty fast and applying hydro to anyone who is in your path. Alhaitham is a plant/dendro dps, he deals insane amount of dendro damage when you apply his element skill and do normal attacks to enemies. Lisa is a electric/electro dps/support, she is able to deal electro damage to enemies with her being a mage very quickly. Yaoyao is a dendro applier and a healer, her little friend yuguei, i dont know how to spell chinese names bro, throws radishes at enemies to deal damage, it can also throw radishes at the player to heal them. this team causes, many reactions such as bloom (hydro and dendro), hyperbloom (bloom but with electro), quicken (electro and dendro), aggravate (quicken but more electro, yes i know its confusing dendro is complicated), spread (quicken but more dendro), and electro charged (hydro and electro), proud to say its my second best team with 0 money towards it.
weapons and actually building the characters, called farming/grinding, can take weeks to months without any money, but it is very enjoyable and you are able to play whoever you like, step on me mommy type characters, cute little children who can just run around and have fun, tall husbands who can talk your ear off about wine, femboys who make me question my gender, and "normal" teen girls and boys who have some kind of mental disorder i pretty sure.
Long story short, its a fun game, very complicated, a variety of places and characters, and a way to lose all of your money without going to vegas 😀
Why do you instantly start thinking of questionable things whenever children characters are involved…. They're cute nothing more to it than that.. the game doesn't sexualise them in any way so I really don't get the fuss from some people.
I'm pretty sure the only reason people pay for characters is if you specifically like that character, and want to make them stronger (having more than one of the same character unlocks passive abilities), but it's definitely not required, and the game even gives you a few of each elemtal characters to start with in the prologue quest. Not to mention, the gatcha system (like Maxor pointed out) has a system in place to make it so that way people that are smart with their rolls don't have to pay real money for characters they want, they just save up their in game reward currency, or get lucky. Persoanlly, even though It's a Gatcha game I don't think it really matters too much, and a lot of people let the label completely turn them away from it.
I too play a kindergarten team, but I call mine the loli squad. It has Nahida, which Maxor already has shown. Klee, who is the owner of the child's bomb instructions, Diona, who is a cat girl archer. I built her as a elemental DPS when she was designed to be a healer. And my healer is Sayu. Sayu is also has a sonic roll ability that makes her a utility for travel.
Fuun fact and tip:
The age of consent is 14 years old…
in Italy…
Ps. Its still 18 for americans no matter where they go
Stay legal!
There is tangible security risk to playing this game, but not because of the game's own code, and playing the game normally is safe.
The game's anti-cheat system runs on a kernel level with root access. Although this particular software is known to be safe and does turn itself off when you turn off the game, it still makes room for attackers to gain root access on your device if they manage to swap out this anti-cheat system for something else. This can be done by making you install something in the game's folder, or worse, it might be potentially possible to hijack update servers to trick you into downloading a spyware via the official game launcher (though this has never actually happened before, and if it does happen in the future then I don't think any security measures you can put up can stop this particular attacker).
As long as you don't modify the game folder's content, and don't boot the game when your launcher updates the game with no official update announcement, you should be safe.
And if you worry about your IP address, you can always use a VPN to connect to game servers as the game servers do not block VPN access and I personally always connect with a VPN on (although I do it to reduce my lag rather than for security concerns).
That about covers the security concerns you may have. Personally the game is fun, but I can't speak for everyone. However the game is free so do try it out and have a taste for yourself.
Uhh about story it really takes a long time, because you need to understand every single detail (yeah, Hoyo likes to do that).
Rather spoilery:
But for main story, which this is thrown into your face, Prologue is at Mondstadt, so they give basic stuff, and things relatively peaceful (on the surface)
Liyue is started getting something, clues and 'ceremonies'
Inazuma getting somewhere, but people said its bad because they apparently cannot descipher why the story is like this. (Quite dark backstory on each island, and stuff, its a hard detail to find because its not on the main story, but apparently a child is skinned alive and presented the kid's blood in a gobled as a sacrifice)
Sumeru, a strategy and illusion, deceive, and forgotten (i cannot say more, it is a big spoiler, even this is a spoiler)
This is the search for a long-lost sibling and a trip through seven nations, each with its own element, trials, tribulations, and memories discovered along the way.
