One of the Jewtubers I watch played it, and one had thought to himself, "Hm, with such a large player base, it can't be that bad, right?"
I was then further persuaded by how fervently the people on the Genshin Impact General on /vg/ seem to like their game, and I decided to give it a shot. At first I thought the mechanics weren't that bad, and that they'd just simply get better and more complex the later into the game one got.
IT NEVER GOT BETTER, IT ONLY GOT WORSE.
The only reason I managed to get past the last thirty hours was simply because of the fact that the game has ONE interesting piece of lore that isn't expanded on too much (The Visions, which are divine gifts that grant the magic of that world), and I wanted to figure out more about it so I could write a fanfiction using it as a concept. However, I wanted to learn about it naturally, as I thought that would give me a more organic understanding of it, and would be cooler.
BUT NO, THE GAME DOESN'T EVEN GIVE YOU THAT NATURALLY. YOU HAVE TO GET MAX FRIENDSHIP WITH A CHARACTER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEIR "VISION" WAS GRANTED TO THEM FOR. I'M NOT GOING AROUND WITH THIS ONE CHARACTER DOING ENDLESS QUESTS JUST TO FIGURE IT OUT.
