Flying is overrated
There is a side quest in Jinzhou where you need to parkour on buildings (roofs, walls) to get from a point to another, and you can use grapple. If you have flight gadget, then you can pass without struggle that quest (and I struggled at some point). So probably they need to revoke that and check for other conflicts before letting us use flight in Huanglong.
this is misleading because you have the Saurian option which can do what the characters do even better.
stupid geshin (F..K)
I like how they locked the lootmapper of Rinaacita behind the cascets so you have to explore a little for yourself until you get the "permit" to use it in Rinascita. I think it would be great to make another "permit" for flying in the old regions. Like a reward for let's say 80% exploration and then you get the permit to fly in jinzhou that would be so cool
a little bit disingenuous tbh
You get 4* unit that let you climb – almost immediately after entering Natlan. You don't really "have to find saurians", because everywhere you need to fly – there will be flying "saurian", etc.
i'd even say it's more immersive than in wuwa, you're just using wild life to traverse.
I really don't understand, why there's these "jumping spots" that turn you into an echo in wuwa… like…. you have wings already, and it's literally the same distance that needed to use grappling hook. A little bit of overdesign imo.
Yes, climbing or running in genshin is more annoying than in wuwa, if you just started playing the game. And you don't even need to run in wuwa anymore, thanks to wings, lol. But let's not pretend that you need to spend 350$ in genshin to have qol. Shit.. i have almost every premium exploration character starting from Kazuha, all the way to Mavuika, i'm only spending on welkin moon that cost 5$, which is far from 350$ you're talking about. And if you're new, you literally bathing in free currency, cuz there's 5 years of content to explore.
inferno rider is shit for traversing. CD is too big, duration is too short, and it's not that fast either. i was hoping they will give us an ability to ride it like we did in quest, but oh well.
Btw, Mavuika is worse at flying, climbing or "swimming", than characters that specialized on it. Granted, she can do everything simultaneously. And outside of Natlan you have like, ~1.3 second of downtime with her c1, before you can ride her bike again, which is irritating af. Just give us 5 more juice so we can ride infinitely ffs.
You don't have a reason to get back to old regions in genshin either, only to farm artefacts if needed, wich is just teleport to dungeon. What's the reason you bring this up?
Wuwa exploration before 2.0 was a lot worse than in genshin. Now it's actually kind of good.
One thing tho…. was it step in the right direction to just give us everything on the click of one button? I mean.. it's not like i'm complaining, region looks incredible, it's just… you don't really need to explore it anymore, since you can just click on the indicator, that located in the upper left corner of the map, and it shows you where you need to go to find stuff.
tl:dr both games have their + and -, and both are good at what they're doing for the most part, especially now. Like it or not.
Furina and Nahida are the only two characters that has the infinite QoL with no limitation..
Nahida can pick resources just by scanning within a range, and Furina can walk on water on any map..
These Natlan characters are only powerful in their own region, their energy get cut by half outside Natlan, and need to gacha lose 50/50 for new exploration QoL mechanic that's more efficient in their own region..
tsk tsk tsk..
and they still havent understood "Loadout"
6:16 Entering the cathedral at the beginning of Act I is how to unlock Flight.. not needing to clear entire story
6:47 you can actually fly anywhere with Jump-Plunge-DashAir.. basically free flight anywhere
10:04 Exploration team in genshin doesnt count their actual synergy yet. because of their Elemental combat, character is shit without each other
10:48 NO WORRIES MY FRIENDO, because we have STAMINA FOOD that reduce flight stamina consumption!
wuthering waves echo system really sucks though. Exploration isn't the key gameplay of any game.
And the mc is not shit, I still have spec Rover in my team even tho I have more stronger damage dealing characters 😂😂😂😂😂😂
9:12 is actually "look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power" type shit LMFAOOO wtf is that sad excuse for an monster ability 💀💀💀
The good thing about wuwa is u can heal your character in teleporter tower, even you can revive your downed character in teleporter tower too. but you cannot do that in genshin, how sad genshin is 😂😂😂
100%
Typical westard😂
Tbh, WuWa didn't "Ruin" anything from GI. They decided to ruin it themself by locking exploration feature behind a paywall (Limited 5 Stars Characters)
Genshin devs literally do anything for money but not for player base and the player are also stupid and masochist/beggar (dev's ignore them😂) genshin will give 5 primo and they will be happy for that and they will hate their own va and unnecessary things
Hot take I guess but felt the vid was a bit missleading.
Genshin: In Natlan you have "juice" that allows you to swim, fly, run/dig up walls and pull yourself towards places. All of these things can be done by either taking over a specific saurian which any character can do to do the specific action and the saurians are all close by to when you need to use that specific kind of exploration. There are also a 5 star and sometimes a 4 star character that can act like a saurian though the Archon or 5 star shown in this video can do all the types of explorations except pulling towards places. The characters also allows you to do all their exploration kind outside of Natlan, so their not region locked however you barely have any "juice" compared to while doing it in Natlan.
Wuva: Just gives the player the way to always use those exploration kinds that are offered in the game at all time through playing the story. However, the flight kind is region locked and there is a 5 star (Carlotta) that allows you to use it for a longer period of time. With that said the flight option is way better then in Genshin, but it's locked to only Rinascita.
So in short you don't need a 5 star character to fly in Genshin as seemingly stated in the vid, but the 5 star characters that allows flight allows you to do it outside of Natlan while Wuva has better flight, easier access to it but it doesn't work outside of Rinascita.
The people who defend Natlan's mechanics by mentioning the existence of saurians all fail to realize (or pretend not to) that saurians take away some of the most basic yet essential mechanics for overworld traversal such as, sprinting, gliding, dashing, climbing also becomes very limited…. and you can't even unmount a saurian in mid-air.
QoL is supposed to make things more convenient, not make you feel miserable by making you feel like you're running while both of your legs have been tied together.
i played genshin since release
I HAVE ALL characters c1-4
most signature weps
i uninstalled the game a month ago , i have been feeling growing discontent with the company and the game and i just don't feel like its worth it anymore
And the worst fact is that the only exploration utility is still only usable in Natlan.
As a wuwashill hater and genshin white knight promoter since day one, I finally see the error of my ways. Wuwa 2.0 actually looks like a triple A game and has a lot of new cool unproblematic features in their first major update(not even a year) than genshin in 4 years. I wonder what new fun things they will create down the line, and with more optimizations and graphic enhancements, the experience will be night and day with genshin.
ignore the hoyoshills ma dude
Natlan Expectation : Titan's VS Greek God's in G.O.W Trilogy
Natlan Reality : Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
Started Genshin on release and played everyday until 3.0 before I quit. No regrets played for 2 years straight. I was kinda missing it so said wth and tried WuWa since it’s on PS5 now too. Fell in love again lmao.
I was one of those hardasses that 100% everything about Genshin. I wasn’t one of those who complained about the lack of content after finishing a big patch in one day and just go play some other games 😂 A new region unlocks and it’ll take me one or two days at most and it’s fully explored.
In WuWa I swear I wouldn’t do it anymore as I remember it being a chore on Genshin. Need Venti to reach high places. Need Qiqi, Mona Dash or any Chibi character to go under small crevices, need a tall character to use on screen when running as they’re faster, when climbing and there’s a roof I’d climb, jump then E skill with Kazuha to get on top, need an interactive map to carefully tick off each collectible, using Yelan skill to move faster, need Zhongli or Razor to break multiple rocks for efficiency, Xiao for aerial horizontal dashes etc. In WuWa the tools are legit too good not to use and if it’s not in the tools it’s in the overworld. No tools for horizontal dashes no prop there’s a conveniently placed grapple point, 2.0 kinda big go zoom with your wings tool. Found myself spamming Sensor, unlocked Lootmapper, ignored it becaude I thought it’s limited use and I’ll need to craft more if I use it only to find out it can be retrieved after use basically unlimited and yup game over I’m going to 100% each area again lmao.
Not surprised Genshin hasn’t changed since I left in 3.0. It’s been like that since launch and if it didn’t change for the past 5 years I doubt it will ever change at all. I’ve always had low expectations for Genshin when I played it because it’s a mobile game. Content’s too easy? Probably to help those gaming using a phone so enemies are punching bags. Hopefully WuWa being an actual competition for GI removes this excuse and make GI loyalists understand that they don’t have to take this at all and try WuWa if gacha games are all they’re interested in.
Wuthering is a great game, but the real problem is that my device can't handle it, while Genshin works on my device very clearly and smoothly.
Bro would crash put after seing mavuicas flight 😂
I all but dropped Genshin when I started playing Wuwa. I have not used resin in months. All I login to Genshin for now is the main quest line, and special events(like Lantern Rite, Sabzeruz Festival). I did Natlan Act 5, on release day, and I won't log back in till the tail end of Lantern Rite(because they time block stuff and I wanna do it all at once), and then I logout until the next Dainself quest, I guess.
Wuwa exploration makes Genshin exploration feel unplayable.
This guy is the Hassan of gachas😂 subbed
the difference is that one is a copy of a product and one is the trend setter. if you were to flip the situation and wuwa is the one with 60 million players and genshin was the underdog trying to catch up with a fraction of the player base. you would also get these QoL add ons to genshin. and you would also be very likely be praising genshin instead. the idea isn't that hard to comprehend. the king doesn't bend the knee to the masses. wuwa is only doing this stuff because it's trying to keep and grab more player base. it needs to set itself apart from genshin while also copying good things from it. but want to know something funny? people would still rather play genshin, cause it's a game made for the masses. while wuwa is supposedly made for the "real" gamers. as wuwa content creators loves to point out. so cry, bitch, whine all day to make more content. this is what it is to feed off scraps.
Funny how mintpickers are bragging GI revenue when they're actually spending more only to get less.
While in Wuwa, you spend less but you get more.
bro casually playing genshin ontop wuwa monster pc
As much as I love Genshin, they really need to improve the QOL in the game. Let's not beat around the bush, the Genshin devs definitely KNOWS what can be done to improve the game, but the problem is they just won't LISTEN. For whatever, God knows what reason, they just won't take action. Instead, they keep pushing these other stuff the community does not even ask for (e.g. the perma rhythm mode game). Like there are other things that needs to be taken care of, why does it took precedence over significant QoL stuff like, updating the stamina system, removing the daily gatekeeping in domains etc. As one of the comments I saw before, Genshin shows that "you can rob people blind, and they would still suck up for it".
They really need to improve, not soon, not later, but NOW. Other games like WuWa is catching up to them and if they keep on being arrogant, their fanbase can only take them so much.
Genshit’s “flying” isnt even flying lmaoo its literally just floating
Your channel is another channel of stagnation because you do the same stupid shite ever since wuthering waves release. If you don't like the s*** genshin is doing stop playing and talking about the game the fact that you can never shut up about it shows if you stop doing gi vs wuwa vids you know channel will be out fast.
Look how long you channe been around and this is all you got. You're chasing drama to stay relevant. And if anybody don't believe me, just simply open up his channel.Go to videos and start scrolling back. Views count speak louder than anything.
You got 1yr and a half to change before your channel start dipping down farther. You spend a lot of time complaining about hoyo games instead of doing what you actually want to do.
