The 7 year thing is that at launch, they released a story preview trailer. It gave small comments about each region. When the game launched, we had 2 regions in the game. Every year they release a new one. Atm, we are on the 5th region, with 3 more from the planned ones. So at the very least, the game has 3 more years. However if they bust a honkai impact, they can make a part 2 to the story, and with the amount of money made vs honkai impact, I wouldnt be too surpised if they do. Anyways, if you do end up playing, good luck. They constantly add new stuff. Not just new regions, but also expansions to older ones. But only about half the patches add new big areas. Other half are events and new enemies, so you can eventually be caught up. As for gacha, well yea... though if you start soonish, you can maybe get a character that can help with water travel.

[@lonewolfjedi493osswfan]

Aside from the insane editing, imo the best part of this video is the background music which with the exception of the opening and closing songs, is all from the demo trailers and speaking of the songs, the opening is fan made and the ending is Moon Halo from the Honkai Impact 3rd cutscene, Everlasting Flames

Most of the major glitches were patched shortly after discovery, so Maxor having footage of all of them in action shows he did not stop playing during the 2 years since his first video.

There were only 2 persona tracks near the start.

The word Gacha refers to Japanese Gachapon, basically booths where you put in a coin for a random prize that may be a super rare one. The term is now used to refer to JRPG style games where you get characters through loot boxes essentially

Playing Ultrakill is like a Max0r video as a game. It is the only thing I can think of that consistently matches his level of chaos. Absolutely play it, and also watch his videos on it.

[@whydoistillusethissite8626]

I will say that a lot of Max0r's videos are probably best watched with SOME pre-existing knowledge of the thing he's talking about If you're watching Max0r as your source for learning about something you have no idea about, a lot of time he likes to exaggerate or joke about stuff, and if you take it at face value without knowing it's a joke or exaggeration you could get a wrong impression

[@Tahanok2]

You could argue the same for abridged series too. Some pre-knowledge helps, but most of the time, it doesn't rely on it. I think as long as you're not taking everything Max0r says as true/canon, you'll be fine.

[@KingKP96]

You should 1000% not split the character demo/trailer reactions into different videos ESPECIALLY if you want to make a audience out of the players. As a member of the Genshin community I can confirm that by reacting to those trailers you can bring in a lot of new people, but you have to be able to hold their attention for them to stick. Spreading the trailers out across multiple years of reactions to the old stuff is not going to cut it for most of them. There's over 70+ playable characters and that number only grows higher and higher with new patches every month and a half that always (with one exception) bring anywhere from 1-4 new characters. Honestly just making one big 1-2 hour video of the character demos and one 1~ video reacting to the version trailers is the best way to go about it, then have someone link all of the new videos from whenever a new patch goes live moving forward from there. I've seen entire channels pop off overnight just to lose all of that momentum instantly because of Genshin reactions. There's even been a handful that have skyrocketed their channels popularity because of these kinds of videos. Genshin content of any kind holds a lot of power in the YT gaming sphere that it's kind of scary at times tbh.

[@DanaOtken]

He did not stop playing the game for two years (some of the footage he used for this is recognizable as coming from limited-time events); but the first video and its in-jokes date from then.

The term gacha doesn't come from "gotcha", but rather gachapon machines. You might recognize gachapon machines more as those capsule machines outside/inside of Asian supermarkets that have you insert a coin and turn the knob to have a toy pop out.

[@zebreacts9706]

American supermarkets have them too. Or, at least, they used to. Don't think I've seen any in a while.

[@VexTheLatios]

When genshin came out, a bunch of my friends and I got stuck in playing it.

[@Umarweeb]

Almost all of the music used in this video is from Genshin impact itself.

[@SonnyFRST]

Reason almost everyone who plays Genshin doesn't recommend it is cause despite having a vast world map, character roster, story and lore, at the end of the day it is still a mobile gacha and it will tear through your wallet in the blink of an eye if you lack self-control. My advice is to play but do NOT put money into the game. Ignore 90% of the Shop menu and only roll with what currency the game lets you earn through gameplay.

[@veerebleatsim2380]

I believe that Gacha has less to do with the English Gotcha, and it's from a Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound of one of those capsule toy vending machines, specifically the turning of the knob on front. Some of the capsule toys are a form of anime merch and sometimes people will spend a lot of money trying to get certain characters from them, so it fits for these sort of games lol.

A gacha game is a video game that implements the gacha (toy vending machine) mechanic. Similar to loot boxes, gacha games entice players to spend in-game currency to receive a random in-game item. Some in-game currency generally can be gained through game play, and some by purchasing it from the game publisher using real-world funds.

[@ecyor0]

ngl, this video is what eventually sold me Genshin Impact (mostly because of the "hey, there's actually a significant amount of stuff that isn't the gacha mechanics, you can just... spend a couple hours climbing over desert dunes looking for chests" aspect of it). And then the story in the later patches ended up being genuinely good, and you can always keep me invested with stories about characters I care about, I play FF14 after all.

Gacha games are called such because that's the sound those little capsule dispenser machines make. It's a Japanese onomatopoeia based on a machine that dispenses mystery prizes. Not a bad analogy, really. The fact that it can be skewed to "gotcha" to allude to the often scummy monetization practices the genre is known for is just a fun coincidence and bonus.

[@tinyknott]

Speaking as a person who plays it, it's good fun. There's hundreds of hours of gametime for free, and the main motivation for buying in it is that you really like the game. Just sit down and make sure to do the math on how much money per primogem the different alternatives are. The instant cash alternatives are insanely overpriced compared to the slower ones. Speaking to a content creator however, I'd consider playing Genshin as low-tier content you can do just to relax with if you don't have much better to do. There's so many people who already have streamed Genshin, and the game is about to complete the 5th zone (Fontaine, which is the one after Sumeru). You're gonna be so far behind that no one is there to watch you play GENSHIN, they're there to watch YOU PLAY genshin. If that makes sense. Honestly, I'd just play it for fun. Only advice I'll give is that all + ATK % buffs buff your characters base attack, meaning base stats + WEAPON. I.e., use the best weapons you can, upgrade them as best as you can. If you get 4 star weapons (you get them as pity prices for the gacha rolls. Also, always roll 10 at a time), those weapons will most likely be with you until endgame. 5 star weapons are so good you might just find a character to level up to use it. If you know this, and that you only ever use the limited currency (primogems) to buy the limited time character banner 10 pulls, you're set to play this game entirely F2P for at least 200 hours without any issues.

Yeah to play Genshin you need either self control or a stable income. The mindset "I don't need every character" is very good to keep. I personally was f2p for like one and a half years, then spent some money every now and then. I'm willing to spend money on a character that I absolutely love, story wise and playstyle wise. Recently spent about 60€ for 2 characters and a weapon, that's not a lot but I have also saved up wishes and grind daily to get wishes. But you can absolutely play the full game without ever wishing or using money. Also, don't play the game just because you want an audience, play the game because you want to play it and invest your time in it.
