It's right there in the title, didn't bother to read?
Why would I read idiocies?
Genshin Impact has absolutely no connections to any japanese products. Except that it is available on Sony's japanese consoles. Definetly not on Nintendo's.
Just ignore Gacha side of the game and enjoy it as a free game.
+1
We've already discussed this and a player doesn't need anyone beside free characters to solve everything.
Gambling system is there for weak minded people who want that a certain Barbie doll for no reason. Just because it's not free I guess. Of course, it never drops. Unless a person will spend a mortgage on gambling.
Amber - I have beaten some of the hardest enemies with her.
I just can't stand her inability to add anything to the team. Yes,she solves some puzzles and that's it. Okay, because 2fire characters bonus damage she's good for supporting Xiangling, but that's less DMG output than I get with different compositions.
3-star weapons are often better than 4 or even 5 star weapons, because you can refine them much faster. (you need up to 5 identical weapons, to max refining).
Early and mid game yes, lategame (current lategame) absolutely not.
Resin is only limiting if you play more than several hours a day.
No. It limits your so called Battlepass progress and later, you'll see, your characters, arts and weapons progress.
Is this game hurting gaming? I think not.
But it is.
Any product with lootboxes, free or not, is hurting gaming.
You didn't buy any, I didn't buy any, but many did making the product so profitable everyone will want to copy it.
This does not mean I urge anyone not to play it. In fact I would love people playing it without spending a dime on lootboxes just to show it's publisher a middlefinger stating we don't want gambling in videogames.
Sadly, that won't happen. And again lawmakers won't do what needs to be done. Make lootboxes illegal.
Ah well, till then, if anyone needs some hints or something, feel free to ask. About free characters and weapons ofc. Yes a certain OP character dropped on me (Venti) and I plain refuse to play him. That was sheer luck and not a result of my skill/work.
Anyway, off to watch that "hurting" video, maybe I missed something they didn't.
