Anyone else playing Genshin Impact? It's like BOTW except with more stuff to do, multiplayer/crossplay, multiplat, free and with a better combat system. I'd give it a recc.

    Yeah it's pretty fun. It's front loaded enough that it's a good 20-30 hour single player experience without even having to fuck with the gacha stuff.

    No idea how it'll feel later, but it's worth playing for now.

      It's kept me glued to my screen for the better part of two weeks, not even bothering with the main quest shit, just vibing all along. I figure if I get 70+ hours entertainment out of it, I can prolly chuck a few bucks their way as a sort of thank you. Prolly won't tho cuz I'm broke af, but still.

    I was planning on playing but I installed it and it turns out that it has both a kernel-mode anti-tamper/anti-cheat device packaged with it AND a hard framerate cap at 60fps. I can't even patch it to get rid of the cap because it trips the anticheat >:(

    Ah, so that's why the g*mers have been saying she's the worst character to fight with.

    Fun little exploration experience, gacha system is quite annoying though. Don't quite like rerolling new accounts however many times that it takes to get a 5-star character and assuage my fears of hitting a wall in the late-game.

      I figure I'll get a 5-star eventually after playing long enough. I haven't had any trouble so far with the 4-stars I've gathered through random 10-rolls. Quite a few of them are guaranteed anyway, and I think dataminers have found out that you can eventually just buy 5-stars in later events using in-game currency you collect from rolling dupes.

    Yeah it's pretty dope but I think I'm hitting the wall at around adventure rank 30 where there's not much to do besides the daily commissions and spending the resin for the day.

      Supposedly, there's due to be a major content update when it hits version 1.1 sometime in November. I hope they add some more areas to explore and dungeons. I'm still nowhere near completion of the main story, and based on my list of achievements there's still plenty more side missions. I just need to find a way to unlock them

    it plays PC perfect on my phone so it is really confusing.

    I am waiting for multiplayer to get good

    The mouse control feels weird, and that outs me off of playing it tbh
