Is Genshin Impact Worth Playing In 2024?

[@nefrox1997]

I do have to agree that the overwhelming amount of content in Genshin is absolutely fucking insane

[@Quthology]

[@Quthology]

@@theskywalker8416 I began 3.7 and to be fair that's like 30 weeks prior. To some degree you are right. I did no life genshin for a period. From June to augest I did every archon quest (excluding Fontaine ofc). Then I focused on doing world quests and story quests that have a proper story. Which took me a while. The only reason why I no lifed grnshin because at the time I had little to NO Internet and playing genshin consumes like 50mb per hour or atleast on mobile. But I can still see you actually doing something relatively the same within 30 more weeks if u play 2/3h daily

As someone who just recently started HSR, I can honestly say Genshin has tons of content for a beginner player. SR had overwhelmed me so much with quests. I can only imagine starting a game that's four years old and updating

[@averagecupofcoffee]

I feel you!! Same thing happened to me when I started star rail, I’m still overwhelmed by all the character quests I have to do 🫣 Genshin is a bit different though, it unlocks stuff as you go instead of throwing it all at you at once. It can be overwhelming at times, but they aren’t just dogpiling you lol.

[@YeoinaYo]

Agreed, but I think HSR has a LOT more rewards and endgame modes then genshin

[@_Nyxus_]

@@YeoinaYo It does, but the majority of it (at least for me personally) is just annoying. The museum was fine, but then there's the weird Pokemon battling thing, the economic thing in Luofu, etc.. While endgame is good for long term players, for beginners like me it's just too much. Every time I complete one mission I get like three more, it takes forever to build a team, let alone two, and a lot of content is locked behind completing the story. I legit feel sorry for anyone starting HSR three updates from now.

[@plasmapanther4444]

@@averagecupofcoffee Also Genshin has the nice thing of allowing players to just run around the world for hours if you don't feel like doing quests for a while. HSR only has a minor amount of "Overworld"

[@pedroares6562]

Pretty good analysis. The only issues may be it's a Gatcha game, and that the engine is a bit old. Buta as Bran said is worth it.

[@Likeyismyname]

As a new Genshin player I would definitely recommend downloading it it’s an very fun open world game with lots of places to explore and maybe if you pull long enough you’ll get a 5 star ( it could be that I only like the game because I joined in the best event where you can invite an 5 star in your team but I’d still say that you should try it maybe you’ll like it ) I’m still waiting for the hu tao and nahida banner 👍🏻

[@TheBlackOniGodOfDarkness]

I had it on my phone awhile back, now adding it to my pc

[@McNugge.]

Another thing to add: If you're not illiterate or have enough free time, you could actually try to read the lore and realize: The lore of Genshin goes BALLS DEEP, and it's god tier GOOD! I'd personally put it on the FromSoft levels of deep lore, as a Souls vet! They even have the same type of Storytelling, namely: FromSoft style of world building and story progression! And once you actually keep up with the lore, the Main-story becomes so mich more enjoyable!

[@glennquagmire6133]

YES!!

[@dragodraco7511]

Yeah,the lore is really amazing imo,

[@greyngreyer5]

Too bad it's presented in a retarded way (Paimon).

[@IcycleBicycle]

Nope this is false If you try to do EVERY genshin quest (archon quests story quests and world quests included) ALSO have the time to read all their POINTLESS 10 k word ESSAYS in the quests and ALSO to top it all of read their 10 k word BOOKS (keep in mind there are more than a 100 of those) and ALSO read the DESCRIPTION of every single item you collect be it an apple artifacts and whatnot (essays for literally every single one of em) each and there are over 500 items you will have to read on Then you LIVE and BREATHE genshin EVERY DAY ALWAYS and you do NOTHING else Don't give them that much attention please

[@Leitmot1v]

@IcycleBicycle you don't need to read every fucking detail to understand the lore, just keep attention during the major world quests and read the most important books (like Before Sun and Moon). If you're unsure or missed something you can just watch a theory/recap video. It does not take a crazy long time and it is just a way to enjoy the game, you don't have to be so negative.

[@Arlecchino4514]

The only reason my friends denied to play genshin is because of its downloading capacity 💀

The problem about content is that there is just too many content before a player becomes overwhelmed by it. Genshin is over 3 years now and playing it now seems just gonna be tiring. This applies on literally any game unless you're devoted in it. From a new player in Genshin that after a few days, quits.

[@Rihorama]

My fav past time is watching new players start the game with no knowledge or expectations, fall in love, stick with it, build a loyal followerbase and have a total blast every minute. If GI structure is for you, you definitelly won't feel overwhelmed.

My single most important piece of advice when you play genshin (and any hoyo game): don't treat it like a gacha game. Treat it like an open-world RPG with a gacha side piece.

I'd be even more excited for them if i didn't get into HSR at that time and am currently having a blast over there instead.

[@infinitygirl92]

As a newish player that's almost played the game for a year (I started when Wriothesley's banner was up), it's overwhelming how much stuff there is to do. I have to take long breaks in between zones just cos I don't wanna burn out. I'm more into Honkai Star Rail at the moment as I feel I can keep up with it and not get burned out as easily.

As someone who started in 3.8 right as fontaine was coming out it took me now a whole year to complete the part of the game. With playing everyday for like a hour. so i can just imagine what new ppl are going to have to go through

[@jkellyk7920]

I started in February this year and played almost nonstop because I have long covid and was sick for basically a year now, so i couldn't do anything else. I just finished sumerus archon quest, i still have a bunch of locked story quests, dont get me started on world quests, i barely explored the desert, what even is fontaine because ive never been there... Yeah, theres a lot for new players! But it doesnt matter tbh, except for the events (which I can watch on youtube) none of it goes away, and being able to choose what to focus on is nice too. Plus, being able to simply raid an entire area you have not been in before for primos if you want a char is nice too lol

Agreed. It took me about 6 weeks to get from Mondstadt to Fontaine and have AR 50. Very easy and fast progression without neglecting characters.

[@kittygirl2010]

Just came back after leaving after the Sumeru story. (mostly got burned out and had other games I wanted to play.) I'm already overwhelmed again, but really excited to play through and see Fontaine. Gonna take it slow and try not to worry about pulling like I usually do. Beign F2P, have to decide who I want to pull for.

4.X is definetly the best time to try Genshin as a latecomer. Since 4.0, they've been adding long overdue or highly beneficial QoL and optimization overhauls one by one, improving a lot of the rougher points of individual experience. I, for one, started in 4.4 and I can't fathom trying to explore Sumeru without the multi-layer map.

[@tilsenkyron6194]

As a day 1 player, the only advice I can give is STAY AWAY FROM THE COMMUNITY. Genshin community is hella toxic. If you wanna enjoy the game, stay away from them.

[@Anna_96]

Eh, i wouldn’t fully agree. I’ve been playing the game since the beginning too but i’m not active on social media. The vast majority of players i’ve interacted with both in game and in a small selection of (lore-focused) content creators’ communities have only been positive. Every time i hear of drama i feel like it’s because of the twitter community and to be honest, they just feel like a very vocal minority. Most genshin players are casuals and simply do not care about whatever happens outside of their personal game experience.

[@arunawalker]

Eh depends. If you're on twitter, reddit or tiktok maybe. The random people in coop i've interacted with have been nothing but lovely people. Social media tends to only bring out the loudest most obnoxious voices.

Hello ser I love this change on your video idea. Please make more videos like this .its much more unique and entertaining I love it😊😊😊

[@engine_man]

A lot of brand new content but you’ll have missed out on a limited weapons and you’ll most likely pull for a character whose level up materials are in a whole other zone and if you joined because you saw a character you liked? Tough luck cos you’ll have to wait a year before you see their banner again. Also the devs are stingy with free pulls.

Lemme give my thoughts. I started playing genshin late 2022, back when sumeru just came out (holy shat it has been that long?) And I played almost everyday, then sometime during fontaine, I just kinda took a long ass break. It wasn't until Itto got his rerun that I got back and finally got him and his weapon after a full year of waiting. But ever since that, I haven't really gone back and with wuwa, just haven't touched Genshin for some months now. The game feels overwhelming to me now, I'm literally supposed to do the Caribert quest but havent done it cause I felt the need to upgrade and prepare before going to fontaine, and now that natlan is close to releasing, its getting harder for me get the motivation to play. Especially when I keep getting spoiled. I feel the FOMO hard guys

Recently, I read an article about a certain problem they claim in Genshin. It’s about having too many contents and level-up things to do to the point it feels like a burden to complete one thing for newer players. And though this is just my opinion, I think this is quite true because I right now also feels like there’s a heavy burden with all of my un-built characters in my main account, and a bunch of unfinished quest and things to do. I think it’s not about how much contents there is, it’s about how much contents can the players recieve.
