One thing I'll never understand about Genshin is why they main characters barely show up in the game. Even in their own story quests, the majority of time is spent on random npcs you don't care about at all. What's also dumb is how they also completely disappear from the world instead of just hanging out. Like, why can't Ningguang be in her own palace, why can't Barbara and Jean be in Mondstadt. If you could actually interact with characters, it'd make the game feel a lot more alive

[@FlamingNinjaBoi]

It truly is a mystery. I can't even properly theorize about it. Like there's no real reason to do things this way, is there? I can't even make an assumption. It just makes no sense. Star Rail is doing much better in this regard. For starters, we get a core cast of characters that we can get to know better over time. That's going to be a nice addition to the journey. But then all of the previous characters continue existing in the world, and then you get the companion side quests that even let them visit you on the train. Oh, and there's the random daily interactions via text messaging. Minor, but neat. I'm low key excited to get all the Xianzhou characters on the train, lol. It'd be so cool to have Jing Yuan - general of the army - casually checking out your digs. But something that's bothering me on that front is they didn't do all of the characters, for some reason. I think right now we're missing Seele, Bronya, and Herta. Hope they fix that at some point.

Even worse is that they didn't even build up or talk about Raiden shogun's backstory to add more depth to our fight with raiden, obvious hints that the fatui was doing stuff in the background in the archon quest (this was in the world quest with the fking pot looking thing but who the fk plays that before the main story?), the fact that arlecchino actualy had spies in Inazuma (the shrine maiden girl with bad attitude's quest + others), and so on.

[@justcallmekai1554]

I agree but I believe you can "show AND tell". Most media (specifically movies, TV shows, Games, and Visual Novels/Manga/comic books) do exactly this all the time. The problem with Genshin is that they will TELL you something in the most long drawn out uninteresting way possible sometimes like reading a dictionary (and thats assuming the info given is actually important and not some random npc quest☠️). You can tell things but need to undercut with visuals or at least have very good character dynamic and dialog. The black screen shit is atrocious. That could have been voice acted or just cut entirely if it felt like it would just repeat something you already know.

It sucks that the pacing and dialogue bloat in genshin is so extreme, I've honestly been wanting to get back into it since I have so much to do after about a year of not really playing. Did the Sumeru archon quest which took literally days for me to get through and have not wanted to touch another quest since. HSR was amazing, I couldn't stop playing and still play every single day. Genshin if you want to get through the quests it literally feels like you're clocking in to a second shift at work every day. It's painful and it's so sad that such a fun game is ruined by chore after chore after chore. Like where tf are the combat quests in this stupid game? You get one boss fight at the end of an Archon quest typically and that's like... it. Then it's back to the mines.

Instead they make you run pointless errands for 4-5 hours at a time before you can even get to some of the worthwhile stories and even then they're packed with unnecessary dialogue and told in drawn out and mind numbing ways even if the story itself could be pretty good. The point you seemed to miss was that the story telling is very dull and having something enjoyable to break it up like some action would make it more engaging and more fun.

I think the issue with genshin impact is that while the story itself is progressing, your personal growth of your account and characters has long hit a ceiling.

When he said "show don't tell" I almost jumped out of my bed cheering cuz THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE GETS IT. Like honestly I personally don't mind the extended ass stories. I feel like I'm playing an anime sometimes. But what really breaks that feeling is when I have like 5-10 minutes of dialogue and then that stupid fade to black where they just HAVE A BLACK BACKGROUND WITH WHITE TEXT DESCRIBING WHAT THE CHARACTER(S) IS SEEING!! And we have examples in game where they have done Show dont Tell so so effing well. Like how you mentioned the scene after Traveller leaves the encounter with Shogun and there's the visual and gameplay effect that shows the Traveller feeling disoriented (and even Paimon's dialogue aids in this as she shows genuine concern for Traveller). There was also a few scenes in the recent Archipelago with Kazuha's story/island that I also felt really told the story thru dialogue *and* gameplay. I feel like both these approaches become so underutilized nowadays for some reason. But then in some of the Sumeru quests which to me arguably had some of the strongest actual lore backing with the whole Dharian/Khaenriah thing going on I feel like we could've had so many more Show don't Tell moments. There were so many moments where instead of it cutting to black and giving us text about the shared flashbacks of 500 yrs ago where they could've showed us in either a cutscene, some limited gameplay or even animated 2D scenes.. I feel like when they utilize Show don't Tell so so f*cking well but they just don't do it enough! And he is so right with the events being related to the lore. Not only is this is an issue with Albedo and the Dragonspine event, but anyone who wasn't around for the really early game not only missed Scaramouche's intro but also that huge lore bit within that event intro about the "stars and skies" being a lie. Only reason I know about that is because of people like Ashikaii. I also feel like people who missed out on the original archipelago (which I thankfully started playing in time to enjoy) missed out on a signature weapon for Klee but also on a part of the lore for the next year's archipelago event. And it makes me wonder if they do another one this summer if newer players will find themselves lost or confused with the return of this beloved event since they never got to experience the time-gated stories of the past 2 years.

@@kylegreen6711 Let me clarify for you. I never said there was no content. I got a character on a banner when I started playing and I can't even use her for weeks to months because her ascension materials are locked behind so many quests. It's annoying. I don't have 16 hrs a day like streamers or kids to do the story which I find incredibly boring. I'm not saying other people can't enjoy the story lol. I'm just saying it's bad game design to do things like that. People spend money getting characters and weapons and they can't even use them right away.

I just wish they add voices to side quests and take all of paimons dialogue remove the filler and exposition. Give 75% of what remains to the traveler so that they actually talk out loud and have a personality and add a Genshin version of simulated universe that's permanent and gets new content reworked into it from time to time.

[@xblade11230]

Nah the side quests are all awful, with bad or no stories, extremely grindy sorush, djinn, enkanomiya, thunderbird island, chasm, a lot of the character story quests Okay maybe the chasm wasn't that bad storywise but the verticality of it is a nightmare There is a massive drop in quality in anything that's not a archon quest, jrpgs are supposed to be story driven Take anime for an example you have anime like one piece , fairy tail ,bleach, naruto etc..where the characters travel to different places for different arcs but each arc there is some sort of compelling storyline characters to meet a group of villians up to no good and fight them, every area of genshin should have a storyline to drive exploration and gameplay

[@otakuwhat_]

What annoys me to no end is the pacing of the main story. Like overall. We’re like, what? Halfway through the story region wise, and we’ve literally gotten SHIT ALL about celestia?? Like we’ve not had NOTHING- just name drops here and there? Like we’ve met the Fatui, we’ve me people literally from Khaenri'ah but no one from celestia?. I feel like they’re not gonna mention celestia when Fontaine comes around. Which I can see myself getting annoyed by. Also why they don’t voice world quests that have important bits of information? Don’t know. Literally the last Pari one had a bit of hydro archon info but I didn’t know cuz I skipped the whole quests dialogue lol. Found out the info only through KZbin xD

[@whitedragonzerureusu4480]

In Sumeru Aether/Lumine were also starting to get fed up with all the bs you just mentioned. No one really wants to help them find their sibling or seems to care, everyone is really self-centered and always asks for help and can't seem to fix their own problems by themselves. I remember some dialogue options you could pick that showed how annoyed they were and didn't want to help anymore. Nahida is the only character that actually tried to help the sibling on their quest so far. For Honkai Star Rail (I think it was a tweet from a developer or something. I found this out by someone commenting about it on another video i checked out a while ago) It was confirmed Aether/Lumine crashed into the star rail express after they finished their journey on teyvat and in the express you can find a wind glider in the ship which they decided to leave there. This next thing I'm going to say is just a guess on my part is but (and this might be a bit of a stretch), why would they not care about the wind glider and decide to give it away? Why did they not want to keep it? and I think they did it because they actually hate teyvat for trapping them and forcing them to help solve all their problems... I mean how would you feel if that happened to you? No one asking you how if you are ok and try to help you find your sibling. Loosing your ability to freely travel to whatever world you wanted. So even though the wind glider was a gift and something they could keep to remember teyvat and the 'friends' they made there. I think they probably didn't want to keep the wind glider because of what they went through... and thats why they just gave it away so casually. They want to forget teyvat and i doubt they would go back there again. if they kept the wind glider it would be something that will always make them remember all the bs they had to go through, when all they wanted to do was reunite with their sibling and do what they have been doing for god knows how long.

Also Xiao shows up saying "!" and you have to consciously choose "!" too. Don't get me started on Xavier on Inazuma. Whoever wrote him in, I hope he doesn't eat good food for 5 years.

I didn't care about F2P or whales but the F2P elitist attitude in genshin has put a sour taste in my mind about them.

The problem of pacing is relevant for beginners, but I didn't notice it. And here's why: playing, so to speak, "ongoing" - yes, I prepared fireworks for 4 hours - but then there was nothing in this patch! The battle with Raiden appeared in the game after 40 days! So, yes, I did a filler thing, but then I was did nothing for 39 days, but wasting resin and do temporary events. Thus, the presentation of the story pacing for me is perceived radically differently than for a new player now.

Did they really hoped me to read all that Alien language? C mon - Most Main story quests suffer from pacing. - Character Stories are SUPER Boring. You have lawyer, Tax officer, Dude who talks with rocks, Alchemy, Yae started good, later you find out you got on Writing competition or whatever, Eula has tragic story, but your quest is how to learn to dance. - Story based on characters always gonna end up like this, where they HAVE to shoehorn in some 5 star characters into the story. Honkai impact did it better since it's character based on story, not story based on characters. My Personal issues: - Combat is NOT that great when you think about it. All it does, it's focusing to much on elemental reactions. Which means, as long as you have certain elements, you see big numbers. I WANT FLASHY ULTIMATES. God coming down from the sky, Raiden raiding a dragon or some sh*t. When Raiden Shogun Boss came out, i thought "YES, finally we'll get a character which ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE 5 STAR" nah, all you get is tazer on a fishing stick. Crazily enough, That would be totally in Honkai impact 3rd, and it's like 5 year old, and they have Raiden Mei which rides a Dragon. Honkai Star rail have that, Why Genshin can't? On the same note, Ults with animations sucks. It's cool first 5 times, then... That's why Rosalya is one of the best characters in the game. Nearly none of the characters FEELS like 5 star. Newest character? Awful he does absolutely nothing. - Abyss is a dogsh*t I dont see how people can have fun with that. EVERYTHING is made just to waste your time. Is it hard? NO. Is there incentive to achieve best team for that fight? NO. Since you have to go through same 2 chambers again to to get to 3rd for whatever reason. WHY? It's baffling how that never got reworked. While Honkai impact Abyss got reworked like 10 times. And it is, more fun. - Why limit Serenita pot building? WHY? Let people go crazy at it, let them build whatever they want ffs + What this game does VERY WELL is Exploration. That's the main reason i still play it.

Shit pacing permeates everything in Genshin Impact, from the dialogue (Paimon), to the story (filler), to the combat (a button-mashing slog without the stats, which is not something a whale or min-max artifact grinder would notice), to the exploration (the constant loading time when switching to an element that isn't in the party, but need to use to interact with something in the world, then switch back), to the pull income (anniversary, 'nuff said).

I mean it had cool moments, we facing Raiden Shogun, Kazuha activates second vision, Signoras death was nice but Sumeru Archon Quest was just a whole another level. We breaking out of the Sabzeruz Festival Samsara, meeting Kusanali for the first time and saving Dunyazards life literally mindfucking a person to do our bidding and help us, facing Dottore for the first time, finding out the truth about forbidden knowledge and how Rukkhadevata and King Deshret were related to each other up to having a Ocean 13 episode to free Nahida out of her prison with 5head moves, tricking the Sages and the Grand Sage and afterwards saving Irminsul and beating the shit out of EVA Scaramouche and Nahida being a badass when face-to-face with The Doctor and massive lore revelations like skies are fake and that Traveller is a Descender.

2:52 I've never agree so much in my life,. Exactly! "Get to the damn point! Why are u wasting my time??" Literally this when i play Genshin story, side quest or some event. It's painfully obvious the dev just throw a bunch of random, useless, stupid, unrelated, unnecessary dialogue just to make it 100 times longer to stall the players so they stay in game which is dumb af. ISTFG i want to go into their HQ and slap the person who make the dialogue (no joke). Is it so fking hard to ask for high quality short story instead of long ass boring story with useless dialogue???????

[@broodi1291]

Tectone chat really share the same brain cells XDDD

[@JerryMouse.]

“Why Genshin Impact gets better the more I play” this is my experience from the game.

[@myne5689]

I would say this is the case with most games. You either complete them or they start to become a bit stale. I played wow for almost my entire life, even competitively at one point. And there were very long moments when I questioned why I was even playing. My fondest moments are still from when I was new to the game.

[@evilmiyoho6742]

First gacha syndrome.

[@malkavian4120]

I really don't get how Tectone praise Inazuma story. From 5-7 hours of shitty fillers we've got only 2 badass moment that are less than 1 hour long. No matter how badass it looked like, it doesn't justify how bad Inazuma story was in general. Sumeru story has much more action and noticeably less filler quests like Yoimia's and Ayaka's that were forced in Inazuma story.

[@saltykitty9215]

Agreed. Not to mention those world quests in Inazuma (Sacred Sakura and Orobashi's Legacy (even the Ruu's one was frustrating as well) were so awfully hard, especially for someone who had no idea how to raise your characters properly! I'd rather do the Aranyaka questline and the Dragonspine ones 14 times over and over again than those garbage, puzzle maniac quests

[@MA-lz7vc]

I literally can't see any sense in Genshin's plot cuz our mission find twin, but when we found twin, twin saying - go explore regions bruh. Hey... Wait. Why don't you just tell me what the hell wrong with this world? Why you want destroy all gods in teyvat? I'am your Bro/Sis. We travelled more than 500 years, i will be on your side. Okay bro/sis, let's go with me in this portal, i will say you everything i know, and we will do everything together. But genshin's scriptwriter says - oh, player will meet twin, but even if twin will saying "This man in front of you is my enemy" MC will continue exploring some secrets with him. This is true power of family. Bravo.

[@saimyintmyat9373]

Archons once genocide whole ancient kingdom due to being too advanced that might attract new outer enemies to invade. Orders were done by real gods from celestial. Real Gods are afraid of outer enemies in the past big wars so they wanna make Teyvat old ancient as much as they can.

[@raiden8063]

Because we still don't know who is evil? You love to simplify the story without understanding it, huh?

[@Il_Capitano_No.1]

​@@raiden8063 probably a dialogue skipper... All of em are like this, providing their opinions on the story when they know absolutely fuck all, lile tectone and mtashed the two biggest c**ts in the gaming community

[@wiredspider]

At this point if Paimon doesnt turn out to be evil or something at the end its not gonna be worth having her follow us the whole time. She wasted so much time commenting on everything being the travelers voice.

[@LuisBrito-ly1ko]

That doesn’t make any sense…

[@bshthrasher]

Paimon is the Primordial One, the creator of Teyvat. Only because of Paimon Traveller is able to use any element he comes across, he's 'special' only because Paimon is near. But yea, her voice is ear piercing and it's quite annoying that she speaks for the Traveller all the time...

[@AryaLux]

@@bshthrasher It's not confirmed, we don't know what Paimon actually is

[@bshthrasher]

@@AryaLux, well, ok, if you need it to be shoved in your face, wait for it. But there are enough facts already to prove this. For example, the 'universal element' dice in TCG has the same symbol on it as on Paimon's chest, but upside down. Dice has imaginary power of this element while Paimon has the real one.

[@AryaLux]

@@bshthrasher Yeah, I've read many fan theories and speculations regarding Paimon that involve Honkai Impact connections, but straight up putting a title on her as if it is set in stone is not okay. She could be a helper or somebody's spy, not necessarily the creator.

[@davidweaver4436]

Inazuma's quest was bad. It had good moments and a really strong start. But it went downhill fast. Also Signora was wasted as a character -- like criminally so. Not even specifically what happened to her, but that she didn't actually DO anything before that. It's bad. I almost quit after Inazuma, ngl. I was starting to get nasty burnout because it soured my opinion of the game which made all the other flaws start to stick out.

[@davidweaver4436]

I'm not even gonna get into it, but... yes. The Genshin artifact system is the absolute worst. I don't mind taking a week+ to grind for materials to level of my characters/weapons/talents, but having an indefinite grind for artifacts buried in like 10 layers of bs RNG that's stacked against you with no way whatsoever to alleviate it is absolutely miserable and soul sucking. It makes me not even want to use new characters when I get them.

[@RedTheWeeb]

Gotta disagree with tectone there about them not shoving 4 stars into quests and only 5stars. Inazuma was flooded with 4 stars in the main quest, thoma sayu electro bird bitch Garou and kinda beidou.

[@takke9830]

Normal game: „oh what a great strawberry cake. I love the sweet flavour of those fresh fruit!“ Genshin: oh if it wasn‘t for these magnificient fruits of the distant lands. The very fruits of the gods of old. Picked by the most daring travellers. Even while they knew they were planted as traps. They still picked them because they were so divine to the tastes of many. And now we get to savor it in this delichious food made by our dear traveller. It‘s such a privilege isn‘t it? Say, do you enjoy the riches of our culture? Are you satisfied with this gift from our gods? I know you made this technically, but I doubt that you could make a cake like this if it wasn‘t from these ingredients. Please be sure to remember it whenever you cook with these wonderful ingredients.“

[@hanifthabibi7270]

Please explain, dude I love reading, even in game books I read that, I am wrong for doing that?

[@TheClargest]

I must have blocked the Tax shit from my mind due to trauma, I don't remember that shit at ALL. I do remember the opening to Inazuma taking a long time to get rolling, but I don't remember it being THAT bad. Jesus. Not even US taxes take 3 hours to do.

[@fiyibomiolabode]

It's like 2 hours max

[@Sentience12]

the amount of copium is crazy

[@themustardman219]

Sucks that the one thing stopping me from playing Genshin again is simply not really feeling up to playing it. I'm definitely the type of person who's completely fine with the amount of dialogue, and doesn't care about Paimon, but it's simply too difficult to want to go through however much gameplay I need to do to level up characters and weapons and get to the quests

[@dischord4671]

"The endgame of genshin impact is quitting the game"

[@nk30020]

It blows me how this billion dollar company doesn't have money to hire va's for 60% of the quests in the game.

[@sdspower01]

I think I agree on 99% of the point of whats spoken in here. To this day I still play Genshin and while the Lore (the shit that you need to dig to find out) is quite amazing I do agree that dialogue is a chore and just need to show MORE of what they are trying to tell. Like the moon sisters lore, archon war and the Primordial one lore all of it is told through LARGE books or infinite amount of text scattered all around. While I am the crazy one who does enjoy this type of gameplay style I am pretty sure many others do NOT. I do not think the story of the game itself is garbage however only the way it is presented can be quite a hassle or a pain to read. I do really miss your videos on Genshin on youtube, your reactions through multiple story quest and amazing moments. But I also understand that not only you (many other content creators) because you might have something you wish to change in the game, you are seen as the "bad and annoying" person who only talks bad about a game that you loved and its sad and ridiculous indeed. While having a greedy company who doesnt really focus on QOL changes, you also have a community who acts like the game is God and bend to it's will.

[@enma9359]

for what i see this game is quite the opposite of star rail as for now star rail has mediocre lore (for now) but good storytelling and dialogue , and good thing they add more illustration in that game (either from cutscene or from light cone) while genshin has a good lore but bad storytelling and dialogue as for gameplay i think star rail is more solid while genshin feels like usure either they want make the game more combat focused , exploration focused , story focused , or even dating sims focused,,, in the end genshin is like jack of all trades kind of games, which has soo many feature but weak on all of it

[@danomaly8943]

Yeah Genshin has that “powering up for 5 episodes vibe” except it’s the filler scenes of the character loafing around. Ngl that’s what burnt me out. I found myself watching other videos and shows during story quests…the disconnect after that.

[@AlcheonArt]

Bro how do you still not understand? They don't give a shit about genshin QoL changes because they have 0 competition for such a game, whereas for Honkai Star Rail, there are hundreads of other turn based gachas, they need to tryhard to please the players. It's as simple as that. Unless a serios competitor to Genshin appears, they don't give a shit about making player's life easier

[@fiyibomiolabode]

They literally just added a gadget wheel but ok

[@AlcheonArt]

@@fiyibomiolabode Yeah, that's to shut people up for a time because everyone suddenly started talking non stop about QoL because of Star Rail. But the wheel is one tiny change, after years of people asking for it, and it's really not hard to implement at all

[@MyComments1341]

When Teccy said "do you not have staff of homa?" I spit my drink haha. Loved the summon video for homa

[@Riyozsu]

Genshin went downhill after 3.0. Change my mind. Everything except dotore scenes was completely irrelevant and tiresome. If you liked it please read some books to understand how to actually experience a beautiful story. I actually wished sumeru tree would burn like in the Harbinger trailer. Probably the bare minimum genshin should probably be capable of offering.

[@charginginprogresss]

Genshit started going downhill when they removed the archipelago after 1.6. Even before this the game did not have many significant improvements outside of the QoL in 1.1 and 1.2 and the new Dragonspine map in 1.3, but the game was young and it was still fine if they redeemed themselves. Which they didn't, the anniversary was a joke and Inazuma was supposed to be this amazing update, but it was underwhelming instead. Follows an uneventful second year of the game where they add, again, nothing, outside of unskippable long ass quests, gacha banners, and new maps you can 100% in 3 days time (even if you spread them out "to savor the experience instead of rushing exploration" [cit. copers who really believe this]), up to the 2nd anniversary. Where they managed to pull a first anniversary 2.0, but even worse. In hindsight, I should've stopped playing after the 1st anniversary. But st00pid me sticked until the 2nd one before realizing the only thing I had left was addiction to the toxic game loop, and that the rest was gone: no more passion for the game or the story, no more thrill to explore or to roll new characters. Poof. Gone. And I mean, you can follow the story on youtube, and exploration and gacha are useless because you don't need new characters to beat content. Hence you don't need to do dailies, spend resin or do abyss to obtain primogems and materials. Hence you don't need to play. Just uninstall. I still laugh at copers that agreed with what I said around 3.0 and 3.1, but then seriously believed the kiddo card game was going to save everything, and came back to the game and still 'enthusiastically' play the game now, Tectone and Valkyria being two of them. Lmao. Keep gobbling clownhoyo's feces and don't forget to thank them for crapping in your mouth once more lmao. What you do for money.. And this is a multi billionaire company. They have the money to make a SSS game but instead they prefer to keep running their AAA game as an A game giving their players a B service D:

[@EunoiaRPG]

I stopped playing since the canyon things was going to come out But I always thought that Paimon being emergency food was foreshadowing. That paimon was going to be MC's last piece of divinity and in the climactic battle the MC absorbs (eats) paimon to get a boost in power when things are going to shit.

[@xsethy7728]

i just quit the game because the pacing of the story as too lazy.
