Yea, I played it, but the lag really kills the fluidity of the experience and having to pick the right character type before you know what the game requires, not an issues with most games, you just start over, here it’s all pay gated.

I always thought this game looked interesting but I don't want to try it after wasting so much money on another game with similar mechanics. I wasted thousands on Marvel Contest of Champions. Chasing after 4star Champs, then 5 star and finally 6 star Champs. Then of course it wasn't enough when you finally popped a 5 or 6 star champ because 70% of the Champs sucked. And it just got worse as the game got older. Maybe about 20 Champs out of 100s of possible were worth a damn.

Is this game worth playing? Is it a grind fest, pay to win? Or can you just pick up every now and then and go through a story?
I can’t devote all my time to one game, there’s too many to play 😊👍

Believe or not I playing since the alpha without paying any cent.

Is a good game, but you need some tuto go get into it. The OST is by far one of the best aspects.

Theres no need when the game has an OT for discussion.
And yes, its a gatcha. Probably easy to scare newcomers.

Short note: if anyone needs help into this game, go for the OT. We don't bite...much.

Yeah they have their little containment box and as long as they stay in it everyone's happy.

Still can't believe that 3.0 is almost here and I'm about to pull for Kokomi after having succesfully avoided her for one year. Sh*t.

Yeah, well... and where the f**k is my promised Switch port?
Same as Another Eden. I suspect Nintendo is not very enthusiastic about gacha on their platform.

Is this game worth playing? Yes.

Is it a grind fest? You'll be missing out on free in-game currency (for earning more characters) if you don't play at least 15 or 20 minutes a day. The rest can mostly be done at your own pace, outside of timed events.

Pay to win? It isn't. It's more pay to show off. Whales in Genshin kill bosses quickly while everyone else takes longer. That's about it. For a much more detailed explanation of how everything works, see the OT I made. You can find it in the communities forum.

Can you just pick up every now and then and go through a story? Yes, but there are lots of limited time events, and many of those are also tied to story events that you can never see again if you miss them. That's one of the main reasons I quit playing. Eventually, you feel punished for wanting to play other games.

I can’t devote all my time to one game, there’s too many to play. And that's how I felt as well. It's great if there's nothing you want to play for several months, but like Destiny, it eventually demands too much of you and in return can only offer diminishing returns.

GAF pretends that gacha doesn't exist, but in the real world the mobile gaming market is roughly 10 times the size of the console/PC gaming market by revenue and growing much faster.

Genshin Impact has grossed over $3 billion worldwide or something insane like that. Yes, that's the revenue from one single game. It turns out we really do all have phones and we spend money on phone games. Don't tell GAF though.
 
LegendOfKage LegendOfKage thank you for the write-up. I’ll jump in and see what I’ve been missing. Much appreciated 😊👍

Glad I could help. Just be sure to read the OT for some starter tips. Aside from that, if you stay free to play and you put the game down when / if it start to feel like an obligation or gets in the way of enjoying new games, you should have a lot of fun with no regrets.

This not out on XBox then? Is it a timed exclusive for PlayStation?
F2P games used to require XBLG so Mihoyo never bothered porting it.....the game is supposed to be Free.
Now who knows whats holding them back from doing the port.

It's a good game, but it's really effin addicting.

I wasted almost 250h last summer and it was an interesting summer in other ways too, if it wasn't I would have put like 500h or sth.

Also wasted a lot of money on this thing, never again, worse than drugs.

Abyss exists.
But anyway, you can safely ignore abyss.
But still.

Outside of some fringe event content and a single endgame mode, it's largely a casual game to appeal to the Zelda BotW crowd. There are certainly challenging spots and encounters and the game actually increases in difficulty as you progress (both new areas get tougher and the general strength of the enemies in the world increases mathematically), but for the most part it's a leisurely exploration/puzzle/light combat game. Don't be fooled by YouTubers that talk meta this and BiS that. It's completely unnecessary for 95% of the game.
