ShinsoPriest said: Eh who cares about quests. They're always shit in any open world MMO anyways. More importantly, gameplay! I mean, that's about 50% of the playtime of Genshin. You may tolerate it, but it's easily a deal-breaker for a lot of people. I don't see myself playing with nearly the same frequency in the future if every new story release is like this. -Sherou- said: Genshin is basically a really shitty MMO in terms of story and questing. It is for sure 90% filler, 9% lowest common denominator generic fantasy story, and then there's the 1% which is the writers sucking off Zhongli for several quests. Investment in the game is absolutely contigent on either really enjoying BOTW style exploration, rolling a character or team comp that you find fun to cheese things with, or just being mega horny for the character designs. Yuuuuup. Trying new characters for new play styles and Rosaria are pretty much the reason I'm hooked at the moment. |
| It's more engaging than tapping the screen a few times and watching jpegs flail around for the umpteenth time. |
| I mean, if your point of reference for gameplay is FGO, then most games will feel like masterpieces. And Gensin wishes it had FGO's writing and music, which is enough to keep it on top and people coming back again and again for 6 years straight. I still haven't seen content in Genshin that can't be beaten with just stats brute force. This system is fun due to seeing the numbers grow, but it's not exactly skill-based. And once you hit the numbers ceiling, I feel it'd eventually cease being that engaging as well. But what do I know, I've just been playing for two weeks myself. |

| And y'know, proper team synergy. |
| tfw I play Genshin my brain is like: bruh, just play an mmo and get the complete experience. then muh dick is like: dat mona ass |
| When Chinese try to copy a Chinese game and fail |
| To be the fair, the story mode in Genshin is made easy so casual can progress. One of the boss fight was even nerf because people complains. Spiral Abyss is whole different experience. Without the right teams, you'll get your ass kick. There are mechanic that make your life hell. That's what make clearing it satisfying too. World Boss is getting more difficult too. Chonky Azhdaha break my shield so easily and he's always take the longest to kill. Can only imagine how Signora boss fight is gonna be like. There's gonna be Electro Oceanid for Raiden's mat too. |

| I love when some monsters have like 10-20sec attack animations. Great game design. |
| Only 10-20 seconds? Pathetic. |

Yeah it would suck if instead of taking two minutes, it takes three whole minutes to take down Signora. |
| Wah how does you Zhongli have 54k health :0 Damn those shields must be like impenetrable. >One of the boss fight was even nerf because people complains Wait which one. Is it Childe's? I saw old videos making Childe's out to be difficult but it's always been really easy. Also I've only been logging in to AK to collect dailies but I got birb daddy as my guaranteed 6* the other day  I wanted him long before I played the game thanks fanart but I thought he would be like the last operator to appear bc desire sensor and also I think he was really good or smthg. |

| Story Childe was nerfed compared to weekly Childe because he required more than a few brain cells. Azhdaha is a glorified damage sponge who is either the most annoying shit alive if you don't have a good shield. or an absolute joke if you do. The worst parts are his unskippable invuln phases and cutscenes because EVERYONE loves a boss that has unskippable invuln. |

mira-pyon said: Wah how does you Zhongli have 54k health :0 Damn those shields must be like impenetrable. Lots of HP%  It's about this tough at talent level 10 without any buffs |
| Of course 4* Discount Zhongli works just as well so don't be fooled into thinking you need a limited 5* character to succeed in boss fights. |
| >Azhdaha is a glorified damage sponge who is either the most annoying shit alive if you don't have a good shield Yh I'm still tryna figure out the shield. It's annoying tho bc like the shield crystals spawn but his fatass gets in the way. Also how did u Koushukeppi twice in a row :0 >Lots of HP% Wah, is it okay to minmax him like that? Or do you switch around his artifacts depending on what you want him for? |

| Sacrificial weapons gives you a percent chance to use a skill again upon hitting an enemy with it. So my Diona's Sacrificial Bow at R1 has a 40% chance to proc its effect per hit, and her skill hits like 5 times. Depends on what you want to use Zhongli for. I use him solely for support so I minmax his HP to maximize his shield's tankiness. It's his best asset after all. |
ShinsoPriest said: I have zero investment in FGO's writing, and as for music... Bruh, FGO's soundtrack is super meh outside of UBW. I mean, regardless of investment, you have to admit that FGO's writing is infinitely better than Genshin, it's not even fair to compare the two. As for music, as that's subjective, I won't comment on this beyond saying that Genshin's music does nothing for me and FGO's music is way more to my taste and has a lot of original bangers (Camelot, Babylonia, Onigashima, Shimosa, and the list goes on). KATE himself works on FGO and if you like the VN's OST, FGO is basically more of that. mira-pyon said: Also I've only been logging in to AK to collect dailies but I got birb daddy as my guaranteed 6* the other day I wanted him long before I played the game thanks fanart but I thought he would be like the last operator to appear bc desire sensor and also I think he was really good or smthg. Ah yes, SilverDaddy. The main reason at least 70% of the player base played Arknights for at launch lmao. Congrats. SilverAsh is considered one of the Big 3, alongside Surtr and Eyja. SA was Arknights' Jalter/Ganyu and he was there at launch and you could reroll fairly quickly to get him when the summoning pool was much smaller, it was wild lmao. |

| Bruh, Childe's theme and Azhdaha's theme are lit. Especially Phase 3. Not to mention the music for every characters demo. |
Kaiser-chanAug 15, 2021 1:29 AM

| I mean, from all of these, Azhdaha's final phase is what I'd actually call great. The rest are average anime fantasy music to my ears. I can't really say that any of these tracks have trumped the best of FGO and Arknights' OSTs for me. |
| >if you like the VN's OST It's serviceable for a VN experience, but it's nothing I would listen to on my phone. Kinda overrated if you ask me. And the FGO's OST is equally serviceable but it's a farcry from actual quality music from classics like Final Fantasy or as a cheap shot Yuki Kajiura stuff. Now Mihoyo has some actual bangers that I'd listen to. |
| Now this actually sounds awesome. Better than anything I've heard (and seen TBH) from Genshin IMO. |
astroprogsAug 15, 2021 1:44 AM
| Really? Not even this almost Nier-esque piece? They even had the decency to have the music continue to play even when you're in combat. This is better than anything FGO tbh. |
| That'd be a definite "eh" from me. It just seems that Gensin's musical motif in general isn't for me at this point. To my ears, it just sounds... bland. |
| astro with his shit taste again :pensive: |
| So embarrased with Tensura fans and the fandom, how have we degraded |
| I think Astro's ears are too biased with Fate stuff to appreciate anything else. |

| Persona 5 is the best persona. And im just randomly gonna @astroprogs so he can see it. |
|
| i should continue strikers... but i got wayyy too triggered by the last boss and i have to refight her urgh |
| So embarrased with Tensura fans and the fandom, how have we degraded |
| >Sacrificial weapons Ah fuck yh. It was blending in with all my Favonius' so I thought I didn't have one. Handy as heck. That's what 25% chance for re-proc with 5 paws? >Congrats. SilverAsh is considered one of the Big 3 Yeeeeeeeeah. Damn I thought he was just good for the starting pool, I didn't know he was still great overall. |

| Genshin's OST is so good. |
| That's the kinda shit I want to listen to 24/7 when I retire to the country side. The instruments used reminded me of the Amatsu theme from Ragnarok Online. God I love that OST so much. |
| Time for a monitor upgrade Imagine |

| Swaggers, stop pretending to be disinterested and come jack off with the rest of us. |
| No. |
|
| The door is always open bestest friend. |
| This is what endgame looks like. Another easy 36 stars. |
| I just recently played through Mother and Mother 2(Earthbound) for the first time and these two songs gives me the feels. Time for Mother 3. |
| Alright bois, one of yous gotta have some tips, tricks or hacks on how to have a bigger field of view in Genshin because god damn this ridiculous zoom in the moment something taps my butt and I see nothing but myself taking up 70% of the screen getting bukakke'd. Actually I just want to see 80% more in general. |
| Other than using the scroll wheel to zoom out I don't really know. It doesn't bother me though since I have a shield to block any cheap shots. |
| I see. Alright I'll just git gud then. |
