Genshin Impact 5.4 is an absolute disaster, hot off the heels of the most predatory patch in the game’s history. Even Hoyo’s biggest shills can’t defend it.

Is anyone surprised i mean
Hoyo knows HSR is the cash cow and they obviously put way more effort than Genshin
Genshin is just the game that they get funds from people who can't quit
They are just being smart and focusing on what truly gives money now while at the same time just keeping Genshin ongoing just enough so they can profit from the fools but not really invest much in it
Man is just farming at this point
Finally someone who trashtalks what's trash 😂😂😂😂 this is so true.
Hey to be fair i believe you hitting your kid is necessary but only when its absolutely necessary as someone who was constantly beaten when i was a kid it builds character it either makes or breaks you and its NOT for everyone
Due to the EN VA strike, the adventurers guild NPCs are localization experts. But yea I would’ve just had translation on the CN stream if it was going to be that bad
Damn bro is really trying to hate this game
Poor npcs VAs, they don't hace to receive the hate
What can i say is a filler a update
Ranting about voice actors is so dumb, like dude you dont understand how contracts work?
Genshin has been my comfort game for years now. I play it to relax and keep myself occupied without having to use too much brain. But I really dislike the direction it's been heading since Natlan, with the kits, designs, increased fanservice, story (or more like, inflated yapfest). Literally skipped everyone in Natlan except for Citlali (I still dislike certain choices they made with her). I'm slowly getting ready to depart from the game and jump to something else to serve that role, but I just don't feel like I have the energy to invest myself into anything else, because it's so hard to just get the motivation as an adult. T A T
Anyway, games I'm considering jumping (back) to:
– good old Skyrim
– Dark Souls and Elden Ring
– Fallout New Vegas
– Sorry We're Closed (it's a very cool indie game with great aesthetics, only played a demo, but still recommend!)
– The Sims (any other than The Sims 4 lol)
– Jusant
– Okami
– actually considering getting a switch for Zelda and Animal Crossing
None other gacha really catches my eye like Genshin (which I liked because it was steampunk/fantasy setting… which is now ruined by Natlan characters). It's a real shame, I hope they wake up and get their shi together for Snezhnaya.
"Don't spend money on this game."
Me about to swipe for THE Wriothesley rerun.
Who TF is this clown???
I am sometimes really under the impression that the devs running EN side are just throwing things out there to sort of appease some players, that they know they're going downhill and so they're basically just trying to make a few bucks until they're completely underwater. They clearly don't care. It's like they don't really want to keep the game going in any meaningful manner. Perhaps they're tired of it, maybe burned out. They could be tired of the toxic nature among some of the players. It could be that they are simply out of ideas. It's anyone's guess as to the real reason, but they definitely seem to be trying to taper things off.
Instead of releasing the Guy who carried hard Natlan Main Story (Capitano)… Bro is releasing some random Beast Girl that came out of nowhere for the sake of Fanservice…….
i bet u were bullied in middle school
Honestly I just go to genshin to map clear chests and move on with life
I’ve been playing Genshin since 3.4, and my room is decorated with Genshin stuff. Now, I don’t even play it anymore because of the ASS 5.X version 😭 like why do they keep adding women? Where are the female devs? Really hoping they’ve been sent to work on Snezhnaya men. And the Snezhnaya delay till 7.X?????? Better give us some Monsdtadt updates. The VA strike completely ruined it, like we got ONE patch with Kinich voiced (I think Iansan too) and she’s been CANCELLED to be playable. Lantern Rite as well, I’m not even doing it. And JUST like he said “Oh, bUT iTs noT thEiR fAulT 😭😭😭😭” I STRAIGHT UP DONT CARE, ITS THEIR GAME, LIKE IM SUPPORTING THE VA’S, BUT THIS IS SUCH NONSENSE AND BS. NATLAN has an ass AQ too. Like 3 PATCHES, and we didn’t get a SINGLE cutscene of fighting directly alongside Capitano. Like, I love Mavuika, but they REALLY went off the rails with 5.X. Not coming back until Snezhnaya, or a rly good Monstadt update. And if they fxck up Columbina, who is supposed to be an INSANE character, and make her a fanservice or sxxualised waifu, I’m straight up quitting and deleting the game.
MfW infinity nikki has better QoL's than genshin ever had. Letting you spend resin asap without needing to repeat the exact same battles over and over again. Allowing you to gather all types of items while you're offline, an interactive map that's actually linked to your account so it checks off stuff from the map as you explore, making exploration easier and more fun. The list goes on.
I'd play Wuwa if it wasn't so goonery but W for them for having a lot of good QoL's for their fanbase. If they ever fix the horrendous ratio and actually release more male characters other than females that love rover for 0 reason at all then ill give it a shot again. Fwiw I heard the new characters arent in love with rover for no reason at all anymore so at least its making stides in that aspect if its true. As for the ratio massive L still. LMK when more male characters come out.
In closing though genshin is suffering super hard right now and I'm not sure what they can do other than actually implement really good, and I mean actually worthwhile QoL's and somehow fix the banners, the male to female ratio and buff characters for love of god. Even the smallest stuff like domains not dropping monster materials is crazy when WUWA does that. It just makes 0 sense whos behind all of these decisions. Genshin already lost a majority of their female players to Infinity nikki and Love and Deepspace. The rest of the players are slowly trickling out to WUWA or something else completely. they have to do something to appease to both audiences some time soon or else no one will come back after time has passed. Natlan was horrible overall and I hope they realize this.
Mawuika dose use the Bike in the story, but, only in the finale and the epilogue, if i remember correctly so yeah so still out of nowhere.
So all the patches up to the finale i dont recall they ever mention it, but at the Main story finale she randomly use it to escape or something, and then you have this weird epilogue and you ride around looking at Natlas you saved wohoo!.
It`s not only the Special programs, and now, half their voice actors are on strike, so the quests are becoming pretty detached for me, at least get some temp replacement actors, ot text to speech or something, i dont play this game to read, either it`s told to me, or i`ll just skip it.
Genshins Greed goes up, and their quality goes down, im slowly losing intrest, eaven tho ive been very invested for years and it`s weird because ZZZ is putting the other hoyo games to shame, with lots of update, quality of life improvements and actual changes in response to the playerbase and they are not eaven 1 years in.
I agree with Genshin, but i'm actually curious why people are hating HSR 3.0. I'm playing it right now and i'm actually enjoying the story. I'm not playing it all the way through in one sitting. I've been playing it in short bursts. 2 hours here, 3 hours there. I played for 3 hours last night. I'm enjoying it, but i don't know why i'm enjoying it while others are not? I can admit it has a lot of dialogue. Perhaps that's why people hate it?
Agree 100%. Watched it live and thought it was weird that they mentioned “innovations” and how hard they are working on the game. This whole dialog is just a spit in the face of Genshin players. Wtf was that?
Of course they did. If you had conned millions of people out of their money, you wouldn’t stick around and make sure they’re happy. You’d get tf outta there
Gimpact pretended to be a combat rpg because they knew that would sell, and now they have their money so its…this garbage
The only reason i follow u is that u help me with wuwa guides but holy shit ur so salty when it comes to every genshin update. No matter how good or bad is it. U always try to farm views cuz genshin hate is now a trend. Kuro shills need a new job asap. Riding hoyo more than hoyoshills🤦🏻and yes ik this update is pretty underwhelming since mizuki will be on standard and u will get her for free in 6.0
That's definitely not the worst update, it's filler, but (at least judging from the stream better than 4.5)
Yall complain about the update, forgetting its a gacha at its core. You choose to play with money or time, play other better games
The skip button is still nowhere to be found lol
I just started watching and dude what are you even on?
The VA strike is literally not Hoyo's fault no matter how much you are trying to discredit this point by saying it in a stupid voice, as far as I know the fault lies on the company that provides VA services for Hoyoverse. What can Hoyo do with this? Am I missing something?
"Spat in the face" WHERE??? The EN version specifically has the VA strike, none of the other versions. It's not like the VA strike is going on everywhere and Hoyo decided to only fix it for Asian players, what are you even talking about? Why are we dramatizing this shit? Oh my god, the live stream doesn't have character VAs because they are currently fighting for their rights, god forbid.
Why is this patch the worst? Because the VAs are missing? Because we have events? Because there is fishing? Because there's a bath house? Why? Don't go Tectone route, you are literally saying nothing. Because all I'm seeing is literally an asian Tectone bitching about nothing.
You are not the target audience for this game. And it's not because you criticize it. "Nobody gives a shit about this character" SAYS WHO??? Who the fuck are you? "Nobody gives a shit about Genius Invocation" SAYS WHO? What do you want? You want harder abyss? You can't even beat it in your own video. You want more endgame? Guess what, so do I, but Genshin devs already said it's not a priority for them. You don't like the direction the game has taken? Well sucks, I guess? Don't go and say Hoyo spat you in the face because they didn't do what you wanted, nothing's fucking new, it's a gatcha company, they all are doing this by default. They spit on your face by selling you pixels and then powercreeping them to sell you new pixels.
The only point I'll agree with you is "Don't spend money". Don't spend money on this game, or ANY gatcha game. It's not worth it.
I'm so happy they didn't give the rewards on citlali and mavuika banner
The new character are dogshit I would rather get arlecchino again instead of getting them hoyo really messed up
To be fair, I only play for the old characters (the men). Like it's just the nostalgia that keeps me going. Venti, Albedo and Scara back then were the excitement
You are such a fkn hate clout grifter, don't forget Tectones rim job at the end of you're stream honey
