Genshin Impact, fantastic free solo open world adventure, or money hungry gacha game?
Both? both…. both is good.
Should you download and play Genshin Impact, a free solo RPG with multiplayer features, in 2021? Yes.
Yes you should, you should enjoy the adventure and when you feel the urge to spend money to become a top1% player you should stop.

It's a good game. I like it. hold tight to your wallet though
the gacha element is completely avoidable if u want, staying free to play and using the wishes the game gives u to get new stuff is 100% enough to get u thru all the games content easily ^^
Genshin impact is fun when you start it for the first time and are just exploring shit but becomes unbearable the second you have to actually deal with the core mechanics and grind the same random gear dungeon 30 times a day by spaming the same abilities in order 300 times
Anyway even the exploring became boring near the end when I realized that its just the same mind numbing puzzles copy pasted across the map
Not that I don't agree the monetization is not the best but I still haven't gotten anything other then the battle pass ( 4 of them ) so far and I'm level 55 with more 5 stars then I can even build you are guaranteed one every 90 I think on average I got one every 70-80. also a lot of 4 stars are as strong like bennet who is insane character so I actually only use 2 5 stars though do plan to build others for fun. You cant really grind because of resin issues so you mostly log on do events do like 4 dungeons and get off. I really don't see most of the issues people complain about in this game unless you are a gambling addict then yeah I can see the issue. the main issue is actually lack of content there is actually nothing to do late game. anyway it did take me quite a while to get there but I easily solo everything in the game honestly getting stronger (5star weapons) would make the game boring I think. I constantly also did things sub optimal just showing how casual the game is. Mostly you just to play with friends and do 4 very short daily missions. I don't think its p2w honestly though for people with money they make sure there's always things you can spend if you want.
I'm trying to like the game but it's too boring…
my ar 52 ass watching this
no u shouldnt play this game
f2p btw,if u dont want to spend anything dont spend ,its f2p friendly
To put it simply most things are locked behind time gate stuff resin.. if you want most powerful item(5 star char/ wpn) you can either collection primogems & wait(you'll eventually get 4* char free during event) or spend real money. So, once you play a fair bit everything 's rather really simple to understand at least for me it was. Its a fun casual game but would not recommend for ppl who have addiction problem or who's likely to've one (including those who didn't 've previously) and ya, its as op mentioned has extremely predatory system but I thinks that's the nature of gacha games in general some more so then others …. I would advice to play it casually..
No
Then me who never spend a dollar in the game and had +100 hours of fun with 6 5 stars xD
I had so much fun playing but the gotcha (gacha) mechanics ruined the experience for me. I'm sorry but in no way am I paying real money for a random loot roll against such stupid odds. If there was at least an option to buy characters outright I'd possibly reconsider. But the game is way too money grubbing as is.
Am in AR 55 and she's a very Cool Game
AR 55 playing maybe 1-2 hr in day ….. dont hit any pay wall or i need to open a wallet …. spend few euros because game was good . Feels that his hit AR20 and then stopped playing and make rewiew …..
Unlike, Lisa is not useless.
I do not get how they could mess up so much with the money side of this game as i have and still play honkai impact that is made by them and i have not spend any money on it and found it pretty friendly to get items and heroes in that for free and never come across a point to feeling like i was being told to spend money .
There many things in this video that are flat out wrong
This game is a Succubus. It's fantastic on the surface and seems like everything you want but it eventually starts to suck you dry.
I got a genshan impact ad on a genshan impact review.
ar 55 very good game 10/10 but once u finish everything which takes like a month u just wait for updates
LMAO the intro "Legend of Gacha: Breath of the Waifu" 🤣 GENIUS!
The statement @ 9:35 is factually incorrect. Not all upgrade materials and can be found here. In fact very few can. You can not gain money, character upgrade materials or artifacts (armor in a normal game) from these wishes directly you can shuffle some of the resources but it is no where near enough. 98% of the upgrades come from playing the game. Don't get me wrong the game is 100% pay to win and I wouldn't be playing it if I didnt get about a 1/1000 account where on my first few wishes I got 2 of the best 5 stars in the game. But that statement should be changed.
Another point of note is that the wish system is actually outright lying about the odds. Because even though after a sample size of 100,000,000s of wishes the OVERALL chance of a 5star character on the character banners in 0.06% (which is bugger all) it is actually lower most of the time. The initial 75 rolls you do have a much lower than 0.06% chance to have something you want. I can provide a link if needed but if you google "Genshin soft pity 75" there should be lots of info. Furthermore the game is also super dodgey in how the secondary banners work with weapons being shown to have a 0.08% chance but the chance for the weapon people would actually want being closer to 0.025%
lastly the statement "Full time job" is also not correct, infact the opposite is true. There is no more than 5-15minutes of content in the game per day once you are 'done' with the story missions
. Since there is a energy system the progress you can make is limited by said system. If you have a team of even free to play characters and free to play weapons there is no way you would spend more than 10miunutes a day. Even if you spend $20AUD a day having tripple the energy you only have 30minutes a day of content. It is kinda boring, I love playing this game with my friends and seeing the cool combos work as a team but I wish I could play it more, however, after about 5 minutes a day we run out of our "mandatory allocated fun" as we call it.
Dude, this was a terribly rushed video, you've got so much wrong. It seems you just wanted to talk smack about a F2P game fot clout… did you get lots of views from those 'real gamerz'?
Currently AR 55 in the game. Personally, I thought the best parts of the game were the exploration and the puzzles. Early game and mid game are extremely enjoyable, however, it is rather limited by the amount of content out right now. The gacha mechanic is a little more generous than some other gacha games because of the guarantee mechanic. If you haven't rolled a 5 star character in 89 rolls, the 90th is guaranteed to be a 5 star character. If that character isn't the banner character you will receive the banner character within the next 90 rolls. Multiplayer for this game leaves a lot to be desired. If you got friends to play with its fun to run around and fight bosses, but NPC cannot be interacted with during co-op. It feels like this game is primed for large raid bosses and dungeons, but Mihoyo hasn't delivered too much on that front. Events are fun the first or second time around, but can get pretty stale quickly. The current end game is just grinding for artifacts, materials, exp, and money. Grinding for artifacts can be pretty annoying too, since many of the stats are randomized. Of course the artifact with the most variety of stats (cups) are also the least likely to drop, making it even harder to min/max.
There are a few things that should be noted about premium currencies. First, anemo/geo sigils cannot be bought from any shop. Same goes for anemo/geoculuses. Both can only be obtained trough exploration. Secondly, genesis crystals only convert to primogems, which I consider to be the only real premium currency in the game. Not that tose fact disprove the psychological effects, the design is definetly confusing for a reason.
Using your money on the game is completely optional, but I personally buy the battle pass to support the creators. After all, I do want more content in the quality it is delivered currently.
if you play genshin you wasting your time kill the same NPC again and again even you have all wealpon or chracters, so no…is not worth it play😩😩😩
@11:04
the "star side upgrades"
are not from "running high level dungeons" you get them after winning a copy of the character. Pretty sure all gatcha games have this.
For the most part you can beat the game and play it just fine not spending anything.To do that though you need to understand the game at a decent level. This means starting out you are basically picking one character to "main" (the chr you have on the feild most of the time) where the other 3 are just there to support it in some way, so how well they are geared matters less.
spending money on this game is "I want to do more damage and progress quicker" it also locks a weapon though the paid route in the battle pass.
the converting irl money > roll material is not as bad as you make it out to be, but it is still pretty bad of the number of currency conversion and still has the objective of manipulation that you pointed out.
This whole video summarized..,
Spend time playing and enjoy it slowly.., enjoy it for what its good as, but dont spend money.., youll feel like a idiot.., even if you did it for RESEARCH..,
youll get there eventually, but dont get IMPATIENT..,
I tried Genshin Impact.
I would not recommend the game.
The camera is so shit, it feels like they went out of their way to make the worst camera controls ever imagined. Although shockingly, the aim mode with Amber, the camera was entirely functional… But that means to play the game I'd be limited to playing the entirety of the game with just one character… Until the Gacha deems it's time to give a second archer.
Its a gorgeous game. I loved playing it, but quit after 3 months, because the daily grind becomes a waste of time. Ill go back to it later on, when more content is added.
"priogems"
I'm at 40 been playing for 2 months I'm still f2p and have 5 5 stars it's not THAT grindy
Game is very fun to play casually. I love hunting for the treasure chests, and going through the story/world. I 💯%'d mondstat sometime last year, and had fun doing. Like josh said, if you have self control it's a fun game to sink some time into.
I'm sure the hackers have already cracked the game.
EH. Pass.
