I've been playing genshin for around 1.5 years straight, stayed purely for story, but i also did all other things even if i disliked them. I got burned out because i hated that core game never changes and qol features never get added. Then i tried many different gachas, mostly got hooked by PGR, but i had some dislikes about it. But when i finally decided to try out Honkai star rail a month ago, i was blown away. Literally EVERYTHING about it was perfect for my taste, AND everything i ever wanted from genshin hsr already had. Interesting story, funny jokes and easter eggs, well animated and often cutscenes, useful characters, NO PAIMON, deep but easy gameplay, many qol features, endgame content, fun rougelike, science fiction world setting, fast dailies, vocal music(not alot, wishing for more), i love all of it. I wish it had more content from the start, but what content is added by updates keep getting better and better. If devs going to stay on this quality level or get higher I'm ready to stay in this game for years, while doing other things and playing other games, because this game doesn't demand lots of your time.
Your comment perfectly sums up how I feel about both these games only difference is that played Genshin since launch 3 years and the no qol stuff hurts even more for me. Then when they basically said they wouldn't add any real endgame content besides the abyss I felt like my time was wasted all that time spent grinding for the best stats on my artifacts was all or nothing. Its to easy outside the abyss and sometimes the story is boring and you just have sit through it. Star Rail is the complete opposite story is interesting characters have actual personalities the easter eggs and real life memes used in the game jokes that make you laugh gameplay requires thinking and they add more challenging content instead of just giving the enemies more health they have mechanics you have to play around.
Well in my case I was hooked on pgr got bored but a type of game you would want to go back on like now and It's still good as ever meanwhile Genshin I got burned out easily I also mainly play for the story and scenery but after you got bored with all of that genshin means nothing to me anymore Imo cant say I get the same feeling of wanting to go back like pgr I also played Hsr and honestly I wish they would Implement some of it in genshin now that I think about it Genshin is Implementing a new banner system like pgr lol you can choose what character you want then you can get the character you chose except you can still lose 50/50😅 and besides hsr I also got hooked on honkai inpact 3 damn at least Honkai has decent story and the oart 2 is relased while gemshin still has no purpose of making a endgame content besides spiral abyss😅 Almost forgot I hate genshin also because of Trash Gacha system☠️
I might get flamed, but my hot take is PGR's gameplay is kinds too much yet too little at the same time. The gap within' 4 and 5 star is even farther than that of Genshin or HSR
yeah PGR is a great game but the characters are quite dry. Imo I feel like the characters are more involving in AG and the combat experience is better in PGR. Both have generic stories with some great moments here and there
@@ANKIT-kc3sg yeah but the good think is that you can watch the story peacefully even at low level, so its kinda big pros and cons, th normal fight is still good but boss fight is too fast, they make the challange mission harder instead
No other game can rival PGR and Genshin/HSR at designing male characters, the other games just makes the husbandos look so boring compared to the female characters
Aether gazer is being held back by not having a pc client! Launchers run so poorly and the keybinds are so bad it's pointless to even bother imo! That's one I hope they bring to pc!
No gacha will come close to genshin and games by hoyo unless other makes understand how important hooking people to story is. A lot of genshin players just outright hate many things in genshin but the lore keeps em in. Lore,cutsence and fight mechanics is what should and will lead mobile games forward.
@@rieneqal1646 whatever u may call it. It made 3b usd in 2022. Genshin gives users imersive experience. Others are yet to understand it. Jiggle physics won't get them anywhere.
@@rieneqal1646the heck you mean by shit story? Have you even tried Sumeru archon quest? You probably wouldn't even touched this game. We are all staying in for the lore, could you redeem one gacha players stay in for lore rather waifus lol.
@@roadtomillion9499 other gacha games mostly do what they did to save their own world. This one? Sure they kinda save the world but what push them to do this? To find their twin. Great Motivation. And yes I did try and I am in Fontaine now. Why? For the primos. For the waifus. Now how about you? Have YOU tried other games?
@@anotherguy8401ppl are just mindlessly wasting their time from pressing 1 and 2 buttons or not even do anything when it auto fight and watching 4 chars standing there repeating ult animation for the 20th times, i would play genshin for 4h straight than hsr lol
@@Dream-fe3yb Nice desricption for a trashy auto farming game, but aren't talking about HSR? That was sarcasm. Obviously the game has so much more than auto battles, it won't win an award with just that after all. also, Genshin and HSR are from Mihoyo, idk if you hate HSR, but at least insulting it mean insulting Mihoyo that made Genshin.
Been playing 13 gacha games over the past 3+ years. So far, FGO & Hi3rd stories & lore got me so hooked. Arknights was also really good even in the story department with annoyingly long dialogues but needs a lot of brainpower for the gameplay. PGR's story took off very slow but now picking up pace quickly and their gameplay is tad better & cleaner than HI3rd's. Azur Lane made me lose my F2P status & what hooked me up are their skins and me being a history buff, I was attached to it. GFL was also another anthropomorphic game that has good story telling and lovable raifus but I hate their skin gacha. Tried Priconne for about 8 months and thanking myself of leaving the game earlier b4 the global server got axed. Tried GBF for about a week but left it since I wasn't hooked. Idolm@ster Shiny Colors is another gacha game that had a boring gameplay but their idols I absolutely adore. Same with Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls but with rhythm gameplay. Loved both IM@S games but needs english subs. I am having fun with HSR now and since it reminds me of FGO's turn based gameplay, it is up my alley. Haven't tried Genshin since their reputation & community kinda pushed me away from it.
Honestly seeing that you're sane I'd tell you to give genshin a try. I kinda quit not cuz of community and all the bs that people keep complaining about but mostly cuz it hurts, feels like the Devs don't care nearly as much as other games (Recently HSR QoL team is a big example). With everything out of the way, genshin is absolutely a terrific game when it comes to being a casual enjoyer, not a hardcore gacha grinder. It's good cuz it can do a bit of everything.
Genshin is great despite the reputation, I do recommend it to everyone who doesn't mind gacha systems, I don't bother much with the community, there's plenty of childish people as there's plenty of children I suppose, but overall I absolutely love it, specially the world exploration and the characters
Please fix the time captions... you are showing completely different games in the video. You typed "Honai Star" and you're showing Honkai Star rail... You typed Honkai Impact 3 and you;re showing Genshin Impact. When you say fire embled is it fire emblem? I can''t find this game you're showing in the video.
I liked Honkai Starrail but it was soooo short. After just around 20 hours you run throught the whole story and then you have nothing to do. But this was a few years ago. Someone know how long the story is now? The last time I played it, I was in that "chinese" town until I saw the "content ended" message. :(
@@GianTehGreat Yes, restarted the game a few weeks ago. I really liked the story. Too bad the rest of the game isnt f2p friendly. Soon or later you need a few teams for the events. Also they are all pretty much the same.
Man, you really can't help but take a dig at Genshin every couple of minutes, even if you haven't played it for the longest time. I knew you hadn't touched it in years (if ever), the moment you claimed Genshin was "always Chinese-themed" and the characters are all wearing "Chinese traditional outfits". Uh...Mondstadt (German-themed), Inazuma (Japanese-themed), Sumeru (Middle East and Indian-themed), Fontaine (French-themed)?! Liyue (Chinese-themed) is just one of the many regions of the game. In ToF you just have a random sci-fi theme and a Chinese theme ripped straight from Genshin.
You just shown us & the video poster that a person can biased of a game, if not more. "ToF you just have a random sci-fi theme" ?? C'mon in fact TOF have more themes than Genshin. Even Genshin's Fontaine is a direct copy of TOF's. And so is other Mihoyo's 2 new games! That's the reason why I gave up on Genshin. No more Originality. Only thing genshin got going is it's music. Made by their 100million dollars music team.
@@catlurver7296 Seems like you really have no idea about Genshin at all....Fontaine had been planned for almost 3 years (they stated it in a original special prorgam livestream in which the concept of Fontaine + the planning was explained and protrayed), how tf would that be copied from ToF which was released maybe a year ago?? And just because Honkai Star Rail or Zenless Zone Zero also have futuristic aspects, doesn't mean they are copied by ToF, literally tons of games have sci-fi themes. I have been playing Genshin since the very beginning actively and have made tons of experiences by now. I'm not trying to be a Genshin whiteknight or anything, since I do have some personal issues with the game as well, but it's most definetely NOT a ToF copy wtf. Btw, I did play ToF closed beta myself and started again a few months ago, so don't come at me with the "u didn't even play ToF urself" or similar.
If we talk bout gacha and f2p PGR definitely surpass all off emm,no 50/50 bullshit when new character release with it god-teir combat system, the downside is the story just start to get interesting around ch 10+ and the global sever not open in every country
Coming from Mobius FF, I was looking forward to play FFVII Ever Crisis, but it's not available in SEA region. VPN may work but sometimes it doesn't, until I installed 4 VPNs and decided I'm over it.
Well, PGR is still the best game for me, lookat the boss fight ost, the gameplay character, especially from cn version, the story does not have an argument Let Kuro cook!
Well... Yostar really good at their waifu material and their gacha currency reward (to be precisely, Azur lane and Aether gazer, and i very loving it) And honorably mention for kurogames that made DMC-like combined with candy crush game as PGR, the game really underrated and, I'm sorry to say this no offend to specific youtuber, no toxic youtuber play the game because it's to hard for them... With a high pace fighting with Nier vibe and banger soundtrack, why shouldn't i feel greatful
I would recommend everyone to try Genshin impact cause why not it's not like you have anything good to do with your time if you are watching this video same as me lol
Wtf If you want to watch anime theres plenty out there dont need any of that story stuff in a game. Gameplay is all that matters to me. I mean its a GAME we're Play...
Right, and most of those game dont have gameplay like star rail or similar, I got bored after some months, the only game for me Who put really strategy and hard core battle was dffoo in the best spot (bt era)
ather gaze needs a pc version and A FUCKING SOLID LORE people will look forward too. Because it not open world and game play becomes too repetitive. I mean what's the point of having end game content if people leave mid game.
Guide to PGR in a bit of text: play the tutorials for all the characters you have and play all of the mechanic tutorials to figure out the game. Press esc or pause when you need to check how to play a character’s signature and you forgor.
i need a game with Aether Gazer animations with more male characters so many female characters I'm literally drowning. Loved the list its just waayyy to many female characters BTW i love genshin its awesome :) no need to trash-talk others to get a point across. At least genshin has a nice variety of characters and not an overload of females ... but other then that nice video
One game that’s coming out soon with more male characters and good animation is Wuthering Waves. It’s produced by Kuro games, the same company that made PGR. It’s open world and seems really fun so far.
@@yalocaldexJust to note: I've quit genshin for almost a year now, In all honesty, that game is one of the rare ones where power creep is factually not a thing. If someone says it's a game that has high power creep, they're just looking for numbers and not actually looking at clearing content.
@yalocaldex Well that's a lie and a half. To this day, 3 of the day one 4 stars are still THE best units to have on your team for meta. You can critique Genshin for being really easy, but powercreep isn't even remotely a thing in that game.
@@ultralink17 well Neuvillette single handedly powercrept all hydro dps 💀 I mean yeah xiangling, bennet and xingqiu are gonna be broken forever but most old 5 stars always get powercrept by new 5 stars. For example, Childe and Diluc.
@@josefmadrid960 "That game could've been better, but the community is trash." Don't go yapping out your useless non sense lil bro, we all know the community is trash, but that doesn't mean the game is, even though I think Genshin is pretty boring. And also, how the fuck does the community being horrible make the game horrible too? Do you play co-op with dumbasses or something? Get a friend if you don't like retarded people playing with you. Not to mention the fact that the only thing you can say are insults, who hurt you.
Every open world game i love it but except honkai impact i only play this game for fun and i always skip chatting because that only female playable characters no male except in apho but i already complete all people calling this game lgbt game 😅 i don't know i just love to play that all
I agree that Tower of Fantasy has a better premise and better characters than Genshin, but it is a terribly unbalanced game, terribly planned in the gacha system which is horrible and has a terrible customer service if you are not Chinese Apart from that, some of the list I had never heard of and others I agree are on it, good video congratulations
I've been playing GI since day one. And I stopped playing GI 5-6 months ago because the game developers sucked. And started playing PGR pc to wait for WW, but it turns out that PGR is a game with the most satisfied combat that HI3 cant offer ,The story in the beginning is boring but later on the story is very good and DARK BIG SUFFER // and better developers
Bro SAME!! I was a Honkai player, then stopped. Then PGR came out and never ever looked back. Not even Aether or Genshin got me even though I played them.
why all free anime games gotta be gacha 🤦♂like bruh just be a normal game for once. what even worse is they aren't even that good. if all of them has a quality that is comparable to hoyoverse game then I kinda I understand it but no, the quality is not even good but they still make mroe money than paid games like tf bruh.
I kinda likes-dislikes Aether Gazer. likes: game-style/battle is fun, lots of rewards and events, voice acting is REALLY good, nice design and the most important thing for me is that the characters female-male distribution good which one of the thing I consider before playing a game. dislikes: goddamn texts, so much of it with small size, I ended up skipping most of them and makes me miss the story, which is kinda bad cuz the games is storytelling with battle, no in between aside from events or grinding, and this kinda exhausting to me. tho I still play it time to time cuz I like the gameplay, but definitely not on regular basis
I play Tower of Fantasie since the Release. It is a surprise if you like to explore something new. I Fan just recommend. The Story at the beginning is mah Bit it gets sicker and sicker and the Open world you unlock step by step gets beautifuler and has a wow effect. And i realy lobe that you can customize your own character and Outfits.
I like tof more than genshin, genshin is just too boring game you sit for hours reading shit there's only one thing i like about that game and it's graphics and that's it, genshin gets more and more boring as you play through just after completing the inazuma quest i felt extremely bored and i was questioning myself that why i still play the game
Yeah I agree too, the story doesn't seem to be progressing at all, liyue, Inazuma, sumeru Every single time -traveler arrive at new region -new region is in crisis -traveler solve the crisis(directly or indirectly) -traveler ask about archon about his sibling whereabout -the archon can't tell traveler anything about his/her sibling for some unknown freaking reason -repeat oh also their story telling is horrible, like i rather hear someone tell me the lore rather than experiencing it myself, it is bad oh also not to mention there is a ton of plot hole, some of it(actually, most of it) can be filled by reading through the paragraph of text that is the artifacts description or character description, but why. why the hell you can't just fill those plot hole in the god damn storyline itself
The thing about Genshin is that it's not the game that's good, it's because the fandom is so hyped at first seeing a third person anime look alike action rpg for the first time in a while, they exaggerated at making contents during covid now it popularity stonks, and we can agree the fan animation, theory, conspiracy, fan manga and such all that made by content creators are more entertaining then the game itself
@@mamorukato370 imo, ithe game was not that bad at the start. but after the first few version, ehhh... it is not great. idk if they improved or not as i already quit the game, but things seem to be rushed in genshin, and that is one of the main contributors for me to quit. i hope this won't be the case for honkai star rail too, so far the story range from amazing to mediocre. Like belobog is great, but xianzhou storyline seem pretty bad. hopefully this will change, i'll give it benefit of the doubt. Like character development is so bad, to the point when i noticed what happened to ting yun i don't feel anything honestly. The companion quest in hsr is good though
@@CnDdDoKn0wNam3 he said "chinese themed" try to use your brain to understand what that means. as you know Monstandt is based on German, Inazuma is based on Japan, Sumeru is East Asia, Fontaine is French, only liyue is based on China. so how is it "chinese themed" ? idiot
@@kevinjrs_ I see what you mean but it's still generally Chinese-themed. Just the character design and names is different from what you would expect from Japanese or American game. Pokemon is Japanese themed even tho some regions are meant to be America or Europe. Even the way you phrase it, you are not saying Genshin is based on Germany, Japan, East Asia, France, you are saying "Monstandt is based on German" Genshin Impact =/= Monstandt, Sumeru, Fontaine, or Liyue. It's Genshin Impact, and it has a Chinese theme because it was developed by a Chinese company. Same way games of any region have their own differences. American themed game = Overwatch, even tho it has characters from all regions the narrative is very american, characters like Lucio have American accent even though it doesn't make sense and they always talk about lgbt. Nanatsu no taizai is a japanese show that takes place in western europe, it is still Japanese-themed, such as the fact there is a literal Demon King as the final boss. How about those american accents in Japanese shows, does them speaking English in a Japanese accent mean they are now American-themed instead of Japanese themed, when its literally a view of americans from a Japanese perspective. In Genshin the characters literally all speak Chinese unless you are playing a dub. How is that not Chinese-themed? And having more than one region in the game doesn't change the overall game
@@ironman1458 what are you yapping about lmao, when i say "themed". i mean like the background musics, building design, character names. its not that hard to understand is it ? if the only region to exist in Genshin is Liyue then it is chinese themed. 🤦♂️
its because how they say the dialogue, too many long pauses between it without any expressions dont seem to be immersive. dont get me wrong the story IS interesting and better than genshin and i like it.
Agreed, but I've chatted with some of those people and their answer as expected, "only play for combat". Too bad, they missed the fun bcs hsr dialogues are actually good.
@@m.ridzwan99-26 Hsr has better storytelling than Genshin. I don't understand how these 2 games made by the same hoyoverse. And minor but actually major improvement MC has a personality and talk for himself unlike genshin with paimon too noisy
I didn't skip stuff, but I got bored, cause the story was confusing as hell... I understood the general idea of course, but a lot of things weren't properly explained imo.
@@ThatsKami16As a hardcore Zelda fan. Genshin exceeded in the exploration part, cuz it's the reason I'm still playing. The only way my ex got me to touch Genshin was vecause she said it was like BOTW, and to this day it's still the only reason I play and I love every second of it. 400 hrs on BOTW just walking around, and probably like 2000 to 3000 hrs walking around in Genshin now.
I honestly surprised that you realy put all 3 Hoyo game on the list while it's a fact that they have a place here. I realy understand why you hate Genshin while it's such a good game I feel more or less the same. The only arguable thing is Tower of Theft as the Chinese community call it. Well that game had more copy right issues than every other game on this list together. About Honkai Impact 3rd, it's not just old, it's literally the first high quality game on mobile which started the whole PGR etc mobile game golden age. And it's not just "still alive" it'll get a Part 2 which means the game literally reborn to beat up all the new games again.
So this generic hacknslash that take no skill and is basically a animation simulator masher is supposed to be a "golden age" ? Wtf lmao this shit was garbage There is way better indie slasher out here from people that know what theyre doing
One of very downside of some gacha games is energy gate keeping. Not only the energy costs too damn high the probability of dropping is hella low. Even quests that only drops low materials has also costly energy(ehem ehem FATE GO)
@@GraveXSensei honest lorewise, i think genshin and honkai are better. But the in game story i would prefer blue archive because character story are pretty good. Lore wise tho... I dont think almost anything is explained in BA. most places are... Just there
Bro saying Genshin combat system is simple... Well it might not be as comlicated as PGR I guess, but calling it simple is not true. Maybe you meant that there is none real combat challenges except Abyss and open-world combat is lacking.
I LOVE genshin impact but it is a simple combat, it's well done but it's very simple as it gets. And the game is supposed to be simple it's a relaxing game.
wow. im surprised to hear someone mention mobius final fantasy. a very good gacha game that suffer from lack of marketing and often get shafted in favor for some other game that is more profitable to the company
