my biggest downfall is being a fan of this game

but fr, i have so much to say about this game. i dont care about the lore, which means i only have 3 things to mention.

first, the combat system in this game is so much fucking fun to dive headfirst into, even if its obvious from the get-go that powercreep is gonna be a real bitch in a few years. the complexity of genshin's combat is ridiculous, especially with its origins as a cheap BOTW knock-off. im not smart enough to write something engaging about it, but team building and theorycrafting teams is so much fun.

second, the gacha system. god this company fucking sucks massive balls. mihoyo or hoyoverse or whatever they want to go by is so insanely stingy it makes me wanna die. ive been a gacha gamer for a long time but never encountered such shitty pulling systems or lack of rewards for such dedicated fan bases.

third, characters. lot to unpack here, but if it wasn't for hoyoverse's deep seated racism due to being a chinese audience pandering company, their character design could have been top notch. the archons are a great example of this, with many of their characters being so memorable the moment you meet them even if you are someone like me who could not care less about their storylines. wish mhy didnt suck ass though.

overall, pretty fun. shitty resin system though i hope whoever designed it trips and spills their drink onto themselves
