Why I’m dropping Genshin Impact for Wuthering Waves

[@yolkyegg]

Kuro has a good report card when it comes to player feedback. You can confirm this amongst PGR players too. Truly the dark horse of gacha games. If I’m spending on gacha money, I want it to go to Kuro because I know they can deliver and will constantly just get better.

[@Stormtide]

so happy to hear great things about kuro, assures me we're in good hands with this game's release

[@Ryuun2024]

Did you see how many things they address with first CBT. Literally everything got addressed that we asked or complained about. Kuro has me sold.

[@mira-uf1ie]

Only Genshin's team refuse to listen to feedback, because HSR team does listen to the players (+ more generous with rewards).

[@Raya.T]

As a PGR player, Sure they do have that record but that is also incredibly slow from kuro's side. they are not going to be fixing the current criticisms with Wuwa quick enough to not kill it for the majority of the playerbase if they do the same methods as they do with PGR.

[@yolkyegg]

@@Raya.T I’m a PGR player too but they have already shown that they have fixed the issues that were quite common during the livestream. Probably even more fixes that we don’t know about. We will never know for sure until the game launches ofcourse. Also understand that wuwa has a different dev team from pgr.

[@KniveMikoto]

"It's such a disrespect to your time" Couldn't agree more mate.

[@Savasvania]

I finally gave up on Genshin last year. Seeing what they fixed in HSR but still refused to fix in Genshin just killed my drive to play it. Plus I agree, exploration WAS my favorite thing in the beginning but then it got stale and a chore. I am trying to temper my expectations for WW but honestly I am rather exited for it. I want to enjoy an open world again, and I want to play characters I enjoy just because I like them. Btw, this was first video of yours and it was great. I laughed out loud several times, thank you for that!

I’m so excited for WuWa just bc of the fact that you can play any character you want, you just need to learn the game mechanics in order to beat to things. It’s not like genshin where the spiral abyss is made best for the character that came out THAT patch. It leaves no wiggle room

Combat is so spot on, if I’m pulling for someone, it’s someone I really wanna enjoy and play. Someone I just wanna focus on, I can’t do that if I’m swapping 4 different characters. It’s like when you’re playing Pokémon, you’ll always have that “pikachu” you depend on. Yeah, the rest of your team is good, but you know your “pikachu” is the Pokémon u invest the most in.

[@TheSpinkels]

The point about traversal is so true. I remember the day I quit Genshin was pretty much the moment I entered Sumeru. After 100% exploring Air Germany, Rock China, and Lightening Japan, the moment I laid eyes on all the fucking new hills I had to climb, I just thought no thanks and didn't come back. There's also the fact that all new content aside from characters and map updates are basically nothing but party games along with how Hoyo wipes its ass with any legacy content that isn't Bennett, but whatever.

[@ericsai744]

@dad6666_ Jesus christ, be less aggressive you loser. I can't imagine any normal player yapping with this much spite, it must be exhausting. You don't want "competition" to emerge between gacha games, you want one to die and the other to step on its corpse. They're both gachas if you forgot, try to invest less in games with that kind of system. Gacha is not a genre, it's a legal gambling system.

[@hnfnamia6605]

Hi yall, one month into wuwa and im enjoying the exploration. I literally love running around and gathering all the chest. The amount of pull i get from exploration alone is crazy (40+) and i still havent finish exploring (60%-70%) left

[@JackFloofy]

The exploration is so fun definitely!! especially how they gave a loot map for free and easy to use, making 100% regions much more enjoyable and just not tedious at all

[@Dazu1394]

For the stamina part, i really do enjoy WWs stamina mechanic, im actually able to enjoy getting lost in the game because who knows whatever I fight, collect, or any puzzles i will be solving, its a great time killer to just run around mindlessly if im tired with quests, along with the games environment, it felt pretty rewarding

[@m.wafiraihan1364]

Btw, Wuthering Waved comes from a studio called Kuro Games, the one that also made a game called Punishing Gray Raven, a hack and slash game (gacha too, of course), that has a very, VERY good combat mechanics. Basically, if you want a little bit of sneak peek on how WuWa's combat could become in the future, try to look at the boss fight gameplays for the game, for it is GOOD. Or try the game for yourself, it has a pc client, and runs pretty well on both pc and mobile. Be warned tho, this game's kinda old, so for you to reach the good gourmet of this game you gotta surpasses the early game of it. Now, i like this game, in fact i LOVE it, but the eraly game of it, not the best of the worlds, in fact lots of the complaints of the game back when it was released for global was because of the lack of quality for the game (one of it, at least). First 8 chapters? Skip em (long, i know, but it's aight, most people do), just watch those first 8 chapter's lore on youtube. But the rest of the game after that? Immaculate, fun to use characters wether it's a A-rank or an S-rank, easy to farm gear to build the characters, bosses/enemies that can ACTUALLY BEAT YOUR ASS if you don't even try to learn about the game mechanics even if you have top notch meta characters, and most importantly, a game dev that actually LISTENS to their players and always COOKS with the game's quality in each patch. But yeah, try PGR if you want, it has rough beginnings for new players, but pass those and you'll be in for a treat. If not, then you can just watch the boss fights or overall gameplay of the game. Edit: oh and btw, the gacha system for PGR? First release of a new character you can get them in 70 pulls guaranteed 100%. For weapons it's 80% within 30 pulls, but you can select any weapon that you want to pull from it, and when i said any i mean all of the 6-star weapons from the very first ones when the game released to the most recent ones. They also have a standard banner like your usual gacha games, but in the near future update in a few months, it's going to have a feature where you can choose any S-rank characters from the past that you didn't have yet on a 100% rate guaranteed. The beginner rewards for playing the game also has some freebies like a free 6-star weapon selector and S-rank characters of your choice. There's even some S-ranks that you can get for free by just grinding daily. Look, point is, this game's so generous as a gacha game, you can theoritically (if i recall) get all the characters, even the S-ranks, while still being f2p (exception for collab characters), so long if you didn't roll for the 6-star weapons (usually cause the 5-star weapons would do for those characters anyway) and you grinds for the game gacha currencies daily (not that hard of a chore, i can guarantee you that at least.)

[@zekeaffy9647]

WuWa in their dev talk has revealed they reworked on the story, so we could expect Genshin type quality?

[@LuckyMaggy]

21:23 the rates are similar on the character banners yes but I feel it's important to mention that the limited time weapon banners have a 100% drop rate on the featured weapon. There's no 50/50 to win, just get lucky or hit pity and you get the featured weapon guaranteed. For a Gacha game, this is nearly unprecedented, they're meant to be predatory in the way that they suck up all your money, so this was as surprising as it was generous of Kuro,. Just thought it was worth me making a mention of it when you talked about the rates in this part of the video.

[@Frailchip]

Guaranteed way to get a certain thing = more likely to spend on it. I would definitely spend if Im lacking the pulls just to get the weapon cause like aesthetic and its guaranteed. besides not having to worry about 50/50 on something that doesnt even give that much gameplay value apart from stats makes it so that I dont have as much fomo. Real shit Arleccinos signature weapon having a unique interaction design wise on that scam of a weapon banner is stupid. My friend got like lyney's weapon twice and they dont have any archers built.

[@tsukiri_masho]

To be specific, There's a slight difference in the rates between the 2 games Wuwa: 0.8%. max pity 80 Genshin: 0.6% max pity 90 Its crazy that if you spend 240 pulls in genshin weapon banner, you may get 2 random 5* weapon and 1 signature weapon But in wuwa, 240 pulls WILL get you R3 signature weapon

Yeah, which is why I don't understand why Genshin still seemed better at launch. Like, what are the WuWa devs doing? Years of feedback has already been there, and yet it still lacks that certain appeal Genshin has.

Like I said, I do want it to succeed, so I'm not simply hating on it, but rather just stating my observations. You mentioned digging feedback from Genshin for years, which made me compelled to reply, because I'm just wondering how WuWa could still not overthrow Genshin's appeal during launch despite the availability of years of feedback from Genshin's players. Yes, WuWa has improved upon some of Genshin's shortcomings, but if you play it it still feels like just a darker Genshin clone. On the other hand, Genshin is an amalgamation of many inspirations from different games instead of being just "a better version of one particular game but still almost the same". Not everything is about combat, you know. Years of feedback and they couldn't even write a better story. Again, I want WuWa to succeed, because at the end of the day, a good game is a win for gamers. But yeah, I don't understand how they couldn't apply those "years of feedback" properly.

Dropped genshin a year ago and tried coming back but fully dropped it around 6 months ago. I'm fine with the grind and chores since I did play warframe for 450hrs in just 2 months. But just the fact that everytime I see genshin videos about updates. It's some obscure QoL that has been requested for years, and it's treated like such a good update. Seeing the progress in WuWa, especially since it's JUST past cbt2, is just absolutely refreshing. Systems that were added MONTHS after in genshin are already being heard by Kuro games. The echoes are too grindy? Already on that. The story is sluggish at the start? Already reworking the pacing. Proper rewards for Account level? Already in cbt2. I started getting more and more tired of genshin when the 2nd anniversary rolled out since I knew 50/50 of the community accepted it and hated it at the same time. It's like they're trying to give AS LITTLE as possible especially compared to other gachas I've played while being WAY bigger than them. I'm disappointed in the team behind Genshin, I'm absolutely fine with Genshin itself.

Haha w for playing warframe, cross save dropped and me and my friends finally got to scratch that itch. 300+ hours in a couple weeks 😭😭.

Feels like it was just a year ago that we were getting on hoyo for giving absolutely abysmal rewards for their anniversary event. We actually got better rewards too.

I agree with literally everything, I stopped playing Genshin because it was such a chore but I still keep in touch with the story because that’s what really stuck with me. My biggest hope is that the story is more intense. Like for example remember when we fought raiden and then suddenly it turns out raiden was just like really nice out of nowhere?? Like she was this strong enemy then suddenly became this softie waifu after the climax of the story? I was so caught off guard because I felt like it cut off so much potential for the story and her development but they just dulled her character down to attract sales. The story is the biggest reason I was playing but basically everything just had this like googoo gaga happy ending which just made everything feel boring

[@Bladehound83]

At first I thought the elemental reaction system in Genshin was really cool, until I actually learned more about the game and realized how hard it restricted your teambuilding.

Would you rather have a main character in the story or main character in the game? I personally rather have both, but if it can't then I'd rather have a main character in the game. But since the main character in genshin impact is both weak and stupid both in game and story I guess genshin impact don't have an actual main character. I mean in some quest the traveler get fooled by random NPC easily that they ended get trapped in a metal cage can't even break it that they need a key or someone else help to open it.

I'm 100% a Genshin Simp. Hell, I have Raiden and Hu Tao tattoo's... With that being said, WuWa IS going to be the shock in the gacha world that Genshin will feel. The QoL's is enough for a majority of old burned out Genshin players to be optimistic for WuWa. To me WuWa is old school gaming. Creative world, fun mechanics and rpg mechanics that make your time worth playing. For example, the fact that you can just build a character and they are viable to defeat bosses AND explore the world is straight up old school rpg gaming. The game seems like it won't penalize you for not being "meta" (which Genshin has). WuWa literally feels like if you turned Devil May Cry into an open world Gacha, and if that statement holds true, I'm fuckin here for it

[@JordinKun]

This exactly! I just miss using whatever I preferred instead of what kills things the fastest! Especially in a gacha game where characters are unique.

Love the vid!! A couple of things that may be exciting for you that I didn't see you mention in there: -The gacha for the characters is the same as Genshin, you're correct! However, the Standard Character Banner and the Standard Weapon Banner are separate and you can choose a standard weapon to specifically pick so you don't have to hope you get the right one! This seems to be a permanent feature. -Additionally, when you start the game, you can actually choose a Standard 5 Star to summon for and guarantee that specific Standard 5 Star! This would be like being able to choose Mona, Jean, Diluc, Keqing, Tighnari, or Dehya at the beginning of the game! You do still have to summon for them, but when you get a 5 star, it's definitely the one you want! -Speak of getting the one you want, the limited weapon banner is also 100% for the rate-up weapon! There is indeed 50/50 for the characters, like you said, but that's not the case for the weapons! The only 50/50s you'll have to worry about losing in the game are on the limited character banner. I hope you and everyone else who decides to give Wuthering Waves a try really enjoy it! I'm pretty hyped about it and love seeing people excited as well! Edit: Another thing I forgot! When running up a wall and running into an obstacle, your character will flip over it rather than be blocked and fall. Something small, but I love it!

I dropped Genshin back when they released the interview that said they had no plans for, and would never, implement a proper endgame for Genshin. The day I read that, I felt the last drop of will to launch it, dissolved into nothing. I miss some specific aspects of Genshins gameplay, and I'm looking hella forward to WuWa. Maybe this game can fix all the mistakes Genshin made.

[@ArtezanOnline]

7:19 I cannot agree more. The moment i installed and went into GI, and saw the travel mechanics i was like....idk if i can play this game but i stuck with it. I thought it would get better. Inzauma came around and they didnt expand the stamina bar as Mondstadt and Liyue's occuli did....i thought of quitting but i was invested in the story.... Sumeru comes around and they things started to get dire, they added the desert, which while i dont hate as much as the average person....its so goddamn big. Which i like - but traveling.... Then they added Fonatine and im pretty quit now. The hilly terrain is just torture now. Then they address the issue by adding charcters with extremely limited speed mechincs and try to get u to pull for them. I hate that shit so much. I dont wanna pull freaking Wanderer to not feel like im having an asthma attack while gliding. Or play sayu and Yelan all the time. I wanna enjoy the freaking scenery, with my favorite characters i worked so hard to get. But I cant, because the travel is such a slog fest. But the cherry ontop. is when I talk about it on reddit or anywhere, i get downvoted that "adding speed mechanics or a mount system would break immersion" What? At this point, if they added a mv spdd food u can craft and eat that increase mv speed by 100% outside combat, that would be a godsend. But no.

[@XD-pl8qu]

I agree a 100%. If i didn't have yelan and c4 lynette, i would have quit already. I cannot bear using a team without at the very least one of them anymore, exploring would be torture otherwise

and in 5.0 they cook mount system, what a coinfidence, thx wuwa, lazy hoyo asses slowly pushes from dirt. But its limited only on natlan and thsi shit like swimming in fountaine

[@fakelawchannel3026]

Always has been Genshin problem, completly ripped off BoTW base movement BUT intentionally removed the mouns just to make you pull characters with movement skills, thats just dog shit greedy design. As you said, the Map is so huge but the exploration is so slow is just not fun, specially climbing, climbing is cringe, even BoTW knew this and added mechanics to get to high places faster, while ToTK made climbing completly optional with their insane arsenal if tools, yet NO, Genshin climbing has been cringe for years and Will keep being till It EoS WuWa added wallrun, hook and Echoes to fly, ride, and swin faster, all of this being accesible independently of the character you are playing, this is why as a base Game design WuWa is 10x times better than Genshin. Imaging being a new player without any 5* star that just started to play and you have literal MILES of map, unskippable walls of text everywhere and no ways of fast travel cuz you dont have TPS and exploration skills on your poor designed f2p roaster. Yeah i would die of cringe as a new player in Genshin. Without mentioning that you cant even access the newest region to farm the materiales for the characters you just pulled, It WILL take you months wheter you want It or not. 💀

[@sappyzap]

stamina does grow if you repair the statues of the seven lol and fontaine is mostly swimming so idk what you're on about there's even elevators

[@pencilonpaper1026]

@@sappyzap I'm sorry but do you think there's elevators in the wild of fontaine or smth??? The only elevators I remember is when you first enter fontaine, though i haven't explored the newest region added to fontaine so I could be wrong but I kinda doubt they're there. Also i do agree with the swimming but only because your stamina doesn't feel like you run out in 2 seconds of swimming. Also op, about sumeru. I was really happy at first at the forest part when they added those yellow thingies (i forgot their name), but when the desert came out I wish they added more especially to the more open bits where it's just running and running and running...

[@FurryBunny536]

Me too! I actually got Jinhsi at 50/50 and got a 5 star sword at 74 pulls. Genshin, I pulled for Xiao and lost my 90 pull, I GOT Mona. That was last back stabbing Genshin will do to me! WUWA is very generous with gift giving! Genshin, not so much.

[@bnpray2279]

i have one point about traversing in genshin vs wuwa, for example if a teleport waypoint is exist every 1KM, in genshin YOU WILL eventually travel from waypoint to another waypoint relatively safe and lose nothing, nor you get something if you just walk/run through that 1KM, in wuwa they give a reason for us to travel that distance, we kill we conquer and we get a golden echo. heck they give a reason to pull on a weapon banner for make it 100% guarantee. I still play both but a prefer exploration and battle in wuwa, genshin have its own merit in their elemental reaction, also something that at least till now is and still a factual and objective is that Genshin (Hoyo in general) music is untouchable

[@gurleen7041]

I just started WuWa today and already love it much more than Genshin. I was never really 'obsessed' with Genshin so I was on and off with it because it became so tediously slow but also hard - there was way too much to keep up with without any changes since the beginning. WuWa though is already amazing. The combat is fun with actual dodging and parrying and the exploration is so much easier with wall climbing and running not making you lose stamina - it makes the game much more fun and accessible.

[@xenon3551]

I love genshin,been playing it since day one and plan to play it till the end cause my gf liked it and wanted me to play it with her and i got so immersed in its characters,world,lore,etc and the archons quests have become big events that we can enjoy together.While i do agree on its flaws and we're also super excited for WW,we still love genshin to this day and hope it gets better.

If you think its good then good for you, but hoping the game gets better I think that is completely impossible. The most possible you get is a better character that powercreep the old one so that the old one become simply no one uses except those who forcing themselves to play them.

[@cooldog2636]

Oooooooh you just reminded me of the damn traversing in genshin, just like let me get to point A to point B faster when exploring new areas, not me changing my team to get the right elements and right team to get the 15% speed boost when running, 15% reduction on stamina, waiting my 15 second Cooldown on my ability to get to that area faster, then wait 5-10 seconds to restore my stamina, fight this enemy for chest, with the same team, same fight, roll my gacha for this region bc this character is stronger in this meta, all I want is my primo gems from the spiral abyss so I can get new characters to play so I have new things to play, but everyday in genshin is a chore that I really really dislike, and the storage no, there is more that I would want to say but that would take me, idk but all I know it’s a lot that I would want to say about genshin and the oh so many flaws that I have with it, I’ll just leave some of it here

When ww comes out genshin is for sure out.

[@Nue2271]

I'd say it's pretty normal to choose the game which gives you more satisfaction.

[@RoninBlackwing]

Funny thing. All the reasons you're unhappy with Genshin are the reasons I dropped WoW to then play Genshin for 5 weeks and realize, 'wait this isn't any better' and jump to Honkai Impact 3rd. Three years later I barely play anything other than HI3rd. Cause if I feel like it I can be done with my daily stuff in about 5 minutes. Another 15 for the half week cycle Abyss mode and maybe 15 more once a month for the open world missions if I've run out of quick complete cards. And the weekly content take about half a hour but you can spread that across the whole week or pick a night and clear it all in one go. You can be done with everything Honkai 'requires' of you for the week in a total of 4 hours (again that across all 7 days) OR you can decide you don't feel like it and just show up in the middle of the patch, do the 8 to 12 hours of story and come back in six weeks if you have more important things to do. You'd miss out on the additional up to 8 hours of event story each patch but most events are non-canon so it's not like you'll lose any context. Alternatively you can decide you like it here and be in the game for 3 hours each night and you WILL find stuff to do. Not all of it will result in rewards ... but it shouldn't need to.

[@LeCVSUVL]

The first time i saw Wuthering Waves. My first reaction was pretty much like " Genshin clone", just like the BOTW community used to do. However, the day i decided to give a spin(right after watching my 12 yo cousin play), i immediately understood why this game is seeing as a direct competitor to Genshin and could get even better. It brought back that feeling i had the first few months of playing Genshin. The characters, the excitement, urge to visit new places, fight stronger enemies, etc... For the past two years i was on and off with Genshin. It still has this special place in my heart(despite all the shit with it), but for now Wuthering will be the one taking the spot in my free times. Really great video (:

One thing about the gacha system of Wuthering Waves that I really like is that the weapon banner doesn't have the shitty 50/50 like Genshin. If you get a 5*, it will guaranteed be the banner weapon

[@Alepfi5599]

I really dislike the elemental mechanics and some characters not being worth pulling because I dont have a good team for them. Thank God Wuwa is different in those regards.

[@JordinKun]

Yeah it sucks you could get an amazing new character but then you need 3 others to make them play well. Not to mention the artifacts, weapons etc.

[@Stormtide]

i also strongly dislike swirl priority and elemental debuffs and effects (e.g. cryo slowness, electro energy loss, hydro cooldowns), they're designed in a very irritating way in genshin so overall the elemental system, while good in concept, proves to be more annoying than fun to some of us.

[@ShadowofIonia]

I'll be real. The elemental reactions system makes characters feel the same. Even though they there own animations. They just feel the same because they end doing the same reactions like any other character.

I dropped genshin right after finishing fontain, and i have to give you right. Genshin is incredible boring. Your point with exploring the world map, the limitation in stamina and and you said it on point. The Story was in Fontain interesting but everything before was not much interesting. It was, although good enough to waste time as you said, but with WUWA i feel like a game is coming finally out that is more to my taste. And yeah no hate to Hoyo and genshin but i am really tired of their games i can't literally see it anymore.

[@chjikou]

the thing that made me say goodbye to genshin was not only the small features that makes the gameplay incredible, or the devs ACTUALLY listening to the community, it was the gacha system. it’s not very different from genshin but for me it is. im not even lying when i tell you i NEVER won a 50/50 in genshin and i always had to do 80-100 pulls exactly to get the character i wanted, which took me about 4 months to farm. now im happy in ww with my jiyan with just 4 days of playing the game, maybe didn’t win the 50/50 but definitely didn’t spend 80 pulls to get him, i literally almost cried when i realized i didn’t have to spend money in this game 😭☠️

I was big on the Genshin hype, went full meta and even whaled for a couple months when it was still fresh; not regretting it now, but over time we saw how complacent the company became, not even trying to follow the generosity of Honkai Impact, just because the people were still coming back. New regions added some cool stuff sure, and exploration is still pretty good for the visual aspect alone, but the game is basically still the same as years ago. Star Rail improved a lot upon their gacha formula and has now become my favorite turn based game, like the meme says "Genshin could never!" I'm pretty hyped for WW just because of what it seems to be doing right in terms of engaging combat + smooth exploration and actual endgame content. I really hope they play their cards right and if they follow the PGR generosity + feedback listening we're eating good!

[@MSanzSH-0]

As an ex genshin player ar55 and someone who spent considerable money on it: WW is much better and will be much better for those players who look for serious and fun gameplay, the story can be boring for some, but the thing is to pay attention to details and for me the apocalyptic topic is so good. The characters are far better designed than Genshin's with more variety and dynamics. The exploration and overall world seems more real and relatable. And the rewards... oh man, like 50 wishes are being gifted for free and more after completing certain lvls I got Neuvillette, Kazuha, and not even Arlecchino have better visuals and combos than Calcharo (my first 5star) Something worth mentioning is the effort put into the side stories and quests to actually be interesting, in Genshin I used to rush them just for primos, but in ww I found the stories quite funny and relatable, npcs with personality In Genshin, as ar55 in endgame, the game is beyond boring once you complete archon quests. All you can do build characters and explode abyss enemies, cos exploration is ridiculously easy (purposely, again, cos it's aimed to even children as players) In general, is a more childish game for casual players, and that's okay. But you can't really compare Mondstat vs Jinzhou, Baizhi vs Barbara, Rover vs Traveller, Keqing (ex keqing main) vs Calcharo, a Hilichurl that looks like a fkln cuddly toy (apparently cute) vs the vast variety of good designed enemies in ww. When I fought bosses in ww and they did insane combos to my character i was so hyped because that requires some brain to dodge/counterattack, like that's what a combat should feel! Not just spamming abilities and combos to so predictable enemies WW is so much better in my opinion and will continue to improve as it's proving in just 3 days of launch. I can't compare my first days of Genshin with this whole adventure in ww At this point I regret spending money on Genshin, cos it was never my ideal game, it's more like a fairytale game, beautiful world yes, but not really fun after some time. Again, this is just my personal opinion. If you look for a more serious, challenging, rewarding and diverse game... Wuthering Waves is just excellent

[@RipperRory]

The problem with genshin is that they dont care. Horrible anniversary rewards, horrible daily rewards(among the worst ive ever seen actually). They already made all the money they need, and didnt even use the cool combat that honkai 3rd had. This game looks like it potentially could be a better genshin, but story investment, quality of life updates, how well it runs, and ultimately keeping content coming will determine if it'll be kinda like what ffxiv is to WoW

[@ShadowofIonia]

I will also add that there are going to be mounts in this game. Infernal rider echo. Has two forms combat and just straight up mount mode and just drive around the map. I heard there will be a bird one but thats have yet to be seen.

(Ei is my favorite and I've been waiting till around 4.2 or 4.3 for Ei update other than a 5 seconds screentime in events) While in Wuwa, I like the gameplay, yet I feel its comedy/meme thingy doesn't as reachable as Genshin.

Lets be honest sometimes genshin story is somewhat good but mostly also bad written as there is plot holes and discrepancy within one scenario and others.

I think forcing something to happen to fits in the story will only ruin the story.

I've had fun in Fontaine and running my C1 Arle as a mostly f2p (the occasional welkin and maybe once yearly battle pass), but Genshin really does need a significant update. Super psyched for WuWa because it gives me most of what I wanted out of Genshin, and improves a ton of QoL stuff on top of it. Also, this wasn't mentioned in the video but unlike Genshin when you pull for a weapon on the standard weapon banner or the premium weapon banner, those are 100%. While I wish you could just craft weapons across all rarities, it is a substantially better system than the 240 hard pity for weapons in Genshin. And for the standard weapon banner you're able to select which of the 5 you want, so there really aren't any surprises on that front.

i was actually quite shocked when i saw that so many people actually care about these things enough to decide on whether to play the game. thank you for this review, because i can understand the other side now a little bit better. personally, the number one reason i’m playing genshin is lore, very smart cultural and philosophical references, character personality and appearance design and overall aesthetics. i feel like even all of the other mihoyo games lack all of these, and i’m not even going to start on wuwa… genshin would be great as a book or a movie, yk. so i really had no idea people care to think about those game systems at all.

Bruh because this is a game? With not even finished story and ppl are getting bored cuz besides stories there nothing to do and the company yet wants our money

​@@TheBleedmen *Because y'all have different priorities, different things you find fun in

[@TheBleedmen]

@@ealwenmz then they shouldn't be shocked cuz most of ppl looking for good gameplay, besides of storyline, that is not even that good most of the time and yet unfinished

[@ealwenmz]

@@TheBleedmen I don't agree it's great but you may have great standards for storytelling and I respect that. When they say they're shocked, ig they meant they didn't KNEW people had completitely different standards that are as relevant as theirs. It's like aknowledging again that your experience isn't universal and being humbled a bit by that, hence the shock.

Kuro games is known for not being very predatory towards its player base, which is why I really love their games! I haven’t been able to put WuWa’s down since release. Everything Genshin did wrong and players complained about, they made it their own but made it that much better. You compiled pretty much everything that Genshin annoyed me about in such a simple way that makes so much sense for why Wuthering Waves exploration, combat, and characters are very attractive to their player base. I believe using non predatory practices makes people more comfortable spending money. Like the guaranteed weapon banner, max 80 pity across all banners, and separate standard banners for chars and weapons, it somehow makes me feel much better spending my money (mainly for limited chars or weapons) because it really doesn’t feel manipulative. And every character I’m WuWa’s have SOOO many more uses than their labels of “Main DPS, Sub-DPS, Support, and Healer.” If it’s Kuro games, every character can most likely be used for any of those labels interchangeably. Jianxin is a great example, she can shield, heal, AND perform as a DPS with great dmg. And sometimes doesn’t depend on how you build the character (thought it can in some situations). Jianxin is probably my favorite character in the game so far besides Chixia, and it makes me really satisfied that I can use her so often and for long while in battle. Even if WuWa’s open world isn’t the most colorful, the unique puzzles, traversal mechanics, and immersion within it (enemies fight each other sometimes lol) makes it very fun to even run around finding chests or materials. Very cool to see the characters flip onto whatever they just wall-runned is immensely satisfying somehow. NOT TO MENTION, HSR dailies take 2 minutes. Wuthering Waves is also near the same, they take a bit longer, but the best part is everything is pretty straightforward and most requirements can be done without moving at all. And you have plenty to pick from as well. Instead of repetitive dailies to complete in Genshin that require the same tedious missions and unskippable dialogue.

Bro just came and dropped the real talk right there

[@Kyle81290]

Real talk? this is clearly just another Genshin hater sucking the new shiny game.

[@JordinKun]

Not a hater. If I hated the game I wouldn’t have spent money or time on it. I hate the direction it’s going. Huge difference
