Genshin Impact Makes No Sense 

UPDATE: I pulled hu tao i am now legally obliged to complete the game

I think there's a few misunderstandings about genshin here. One, the rate of 5 stars really isnt that bad. You were too low AR to do the events that also contribute a HUGE amount of wishes you'll get. Second, the reason the pity is the way it is, is because there arent that many 5 stars conpared to other games, and you're actually guaranteed a character. A lot of gachas before genshin didn't have pity and guaranteed characters, so they gave tons and tons of wishes because you were never guaranteed to get who you want. In genshin you could, so it was a trade off: less wishes overall, but you can guarantee who you want. 3: You don't need 5 star characters. Yes you may want them, but genshin is a very wasy game where you can easily 36 star abyss (fully clear the hardest content in the game) with just 4 star characters on 4 star weapons, and sometimes not even full teams of 4 characters. 4: Some of the strongest characters in the game are 4 stars. Bennett, Xingqiu, Fischl, Sucrose, and Xiangling are sometimes called "the power 5". They're 4 stars that are meta defining and wirhing the top 10 and top 5 characters in the game. Xianging is also free from clearing floor 3 in abyss, which you can do very very early in the game. Also, it was funny when you said they gave a trial of Diluc for people to want a strong character, but Diluc is arguably the worst 5 star in the game, and worse than some 4 stars lol

i don't doubt anyone that says the story, gameplay, music and graphics are amazing but genshin is by far one of the least generous gacha games and thats the only reason i dont play it

Genshin Impact suffers from being fun to play and being F2P unfriendly. Tell me, why is it that in order for me to get the starter characters (Amber, Lisa, Kaeya,) to a functional level and become reliable mainstays, I need to get their Constellations at a certain level because of a unique constellation effect? It's stupid expensive to get them to that point

Hear me out though, just become lucky. I got Hu Tao for free with one ten pull and Tartaglia in two ten pulls.

Once you reach AR 40+ you're good to go. Early AR you are limited via areas/events. I think even at AR 35 you unlock all main quests/events. I started playing 5 months ago, I'm AR 56 so it's fresh on my mind how hard it is early AR's.

I remember getting into Genshin on release and really enjoying the game. My biggest gripe was the Adventure Rank gatekeeping me from exploration. I know you mentioned Breath of the Wild but I actually enjoy it when open world games have content that you can possibly miss throughout your playthrough. It makes each area you explore more valuable since you chose to go there yourself rather than being guided there by a sidequest that you're required to do.

damn great content you got here, as a video editor, you did fantastic. This takes time.

You have no idea just how good of a character Kuki is.... Lol. Remember to bring her out of the dumpster once you learn what hyperbloom is....... because she's the second best hyperbloom triggerer in the entire game (the best being a five star from inazuma :P)

honestly getting 10-20 pulls a day is super easy regardless if you are a new player or an older player, the problem I have with the game is simply it stops you from grinding and therefore getting a new character strong enough to function in your party rakes so long unless you saved up the mats beforehand

i literally leave the game for 2 months , come back , do the quests and gone again

As a f2player in this game i can say i mostly play for the story and the lore, the beautiful wiews and an amazing music. I love this game it helps me with my hard times but i totally agree with tge gacha and RNG. Artifacts and gacha are by far the worst features of this game i know its intentional to squeeze out money. I can say that mondstadt and liyue are the weakest story wise i think sumeru is the best personally. I reccomend playing it just for the story, characters and the exploration. And in terms of 4* some 4* are better than 5* like for example xiangling xingqiu bennett and kuki is very good too so not having a 5* is not the end of the world. Still the gacha is so greedy its unforgivable

i play this game. its like a second job. would not recommend to new players its very hard.

I don't have kuki man, I would give anything to have her. and you say she goes into the bin? wow

also im completely in love with this game and you could solo everything in game with 4 stares there is no need for 5 stars except flexing and 5 stars won't reach full potential unless you are a whale to be strong in game it not a money investment it a time one the most i would say the griend is real and i love it for me it 2 hours game of addiction and repeatever day and thats that nothing more .

As a fellow poor person, I got sucked in, send help

Fun fact genshin has events that are the main stream of primo gems and other kinds of resources and you may be asking well where are they? I didn't see any The unlock after a certain AR(Adture rank) I think most event or all unlock at AR25

Recently got recommended to your video, and really enjoyed the content you post here. Would you someday try Arknights? Its a great game and hope to hear your opinions on it.

I hope you get her! I got her in my 20 pulls (the 13th pull). I hope I pulled her again on my pity or before that. hopefully.

Yeh making a review of a game that's been getting updated for the past 3 years and only reviewing the content that came out at launch is doing it a big diservice. 1. 5 star characters are powerful and make a big difference, even if it is very hard to get them below soft pity i actually prefer this system for 2 reasons, ons is that i can calculate the odds of me getting characters and this has both made me not spend, since i realised how little of a chance I'd have even if i spent a lot at the moment and helped me plan for future characters (if I'm on guarantee, etc). And second is that a 5 star is super powerful right off the bat, meaning although you do get bonuses for having copies (constellations) of a character they are not needed, unlike some games where even if you get the rarest unit you would still need multiple copies of them for end game content. 2. Power creep has been minimal in genshin and mind you it's having its third year anniversary, this is thanks to 2 main reasons, first is that some of the most powerful characters are actually the first ever 4 stars that came with the game, their kits were so overloaded and powerful that they can oitperform some of the newest 5 stars even. Second is that genshin is missing proper end game content, and because of this there is no real "need" to have powerful characters and optimal teams to play the game, the spiral abyss is the hardest content and besides when there were consicrated beasts in it (actual hell) the content hasn't been difficult to the point of needing to spend. Also another reason would be that many 5 stars that release aren't all about dealing big damage (many are) but there's also many that instead enable new teams, act as supports for others or just give you a damage dealer of a different element, not rivaling in damage necessarily but allowing new reaction comps against certain world bosses or spiral abyss cycles. 3. The real problem with starting genshin isn't the 5 star rates or some "manipulative" marketing strategy but instead the time cost that gacha games are, this has been recently eased with the daily comission rework but still catching up with 3 years and 3 major game expansions (not even counting the chasm and enkonemya or however u spell that desolate place) of content is a lot to ask for new players. Also getting 5 stars for new players is really only a matter of time, when i started in inazuma i was able to lose the 50/50 and then get the guaranteed character during the wishing period still by grinding explanation.

nice video great quality keep it up

I played since October 2020 and I am still straight.

dude yes the game has a lot of predators tactics but it just like every gacha game yeah the game is stingy as hell but it not that bad the guaranteed 5 star is 90 pull and the desired one is 180 but the cache is you probably get it early i played the game in it debu days and rerarly lose 50/50 plus i got my around 40 to 50 maybe i was lucky but you mait as well try and im free to play

Why do i feel like this video is so similar to maxors first genshin video? Though it is way less overwhelmingthan maxors stuff.

i dont pay a dime in genshin 💪💪

i love this game need a genshin costume

When first playing genshin this year I met Timmy and I hate him so much 😊

If your poor, don’t play games and go to work!
