Should I try this game again? I'd download it, but it's about 100 GB and I don't want to go through all the hassle of installing and uninstalling it if I don't like it.

>>715675187 (OP)
No play Wuwa instead it's literally this game but better in every way

>>715675187 (OP)
ur 5 years late unc

>>715675187 (OP)
Depends why you stopped in the first place

>>715675187 (OP)
yes it's free just download and try it out, you literally have hundreds of hours of content if you enjoy it

if you do get back into it don’t feel pressured to catch up to Nod-Krai which will come out very soon. it’ll take you at least a couple hundred hours to go through all the major archon quests on top of the world quests which help you unravel the world.

>>715675269
The male main character doesn't look like a twink so that's promising. But what else makes it better than Genshin? I'm not really a gacha player to begin with.

>>715675269
The only thing wuwa does better is traversability. Maybe combat, but I don't like how elements literally don't matter.

>>715675187 (OP)
If the 100 GB is too much you play the mobile version instead.
>>715675269
Fuck off, shin.

>>715675187 (OP)
Holy shit it really is over 100gb now. Didn't it launch at 16 or 30gb? And that was before you could delete the languages you didn't use which saved a lot of space.

But yeah try it OP, if you think it looks good you'll like it for at least a bunch of hours.

>>715676774
>And that was before you could delete the languages you didn't use which saved a lot of space.
You mean you can't do that? Damn, that sounds like a really easy way to save space.

>>715676903
You can do it now.

>>715676774
do you have to install it all at once, or can you start playing 'base' version and install the expansions later?

>>715676903
>reading compression
You can now, but when it came out you couldn't.

>>715678116
>>reading compression

Don’t bother playing any gacha games. Even the best ones still feel like hollow experiences by design to get you to spend money on the slot machine.
You’re better off playing whatever game they’re knocking off, in this case Breath of the wild, and then masturbating to the porn.
Gacha games spawn a lot of porn to make up for the mediocre gameplay

>>715677323
I dunno. It's good though

>>715678859
Is it possible to completely agree with this statement but also share the nuanced opinion that if somebody chooses to play a gacha that should be completely fine and none of my business ?

>>715675187 (OP)
No, if you want an open world game with combat just play wuthering waves.

>>715675187 (OP)
>100 GB
It gets free DLCs every six weeks, that's why. Also ask here >>>/vg/531528992

>>715679164
By all means. I’m not shaming people for their gambling addictions, and make no mistake all gacha players are gambling addicts, I’m just trying to prevent another person from going down that path.
These are slot machines first and games second and every aspect of their design is meant to get you to pay money into their slot machine

That means you played it before so already have an idea of what you're getting yourself into. If you want a different experience, go for another game.

>>715679270
That's completely valid. As I said, I agree with you. These games are inherently predatory and shallow. I just feel guilty because I see people playing the horse girl game and I think to myself "This doesn't even look like a real game. Its so blatantly just a moneysink" and yet so many people seem to be genuinely enjoying it. And I guess that should be fine.. if that's what they want. Lately I have felt like re-evaulating my perspective.

>>715675187 (OP)
If you do, pull for the bike bitch on the current banner. She is a god tier DPS and good for traversal as well

>>715678859
>hollow experience by design to get you to spend money on the slot machine
A majority of players are f2p and don't miss out on anything because Genshin is completable with all the free characters.
>You're better off playing whatever game they're knocking off, in this case Breath of the wild
Puzzles, combat, and exploration are all better in Genshin though. Maybe you had a point when it first launched 5 years ago but you obviously have no clue what the fuck you're babbling about.

>>715681780
Yeah but the bike is cringe bro.
Just wait for kino rerun.
She's hotter and more fun.

>>715679435
I played up until the point you get that blonde witch Lucy. The only reason I played was because my friends were being autists about it and I wanted to see what the hype was about, so I admittedly wasn't approaching the game with the most honest intentions. But now I genuinely want to see what it's like.

>>715675187 (OP)
>Should I try this game again?

There's still no skip button. So no.

>>715675187 (OP)
I just can't stomach the idea of playing an online-only game that could EoS at any time and take all my progress with it. I'd rather wait however many years until they're done with it and hope that the server binaries of the final version leak, SKG forces them to have an end of life plan, or they release a single player version.

>>715683579
It's a great game, the thing that turns people off are that there is a LOT of dialogue you can't skip outright and if you are completely autistic about collecting characters you might hate it unless you were going to whale. And even then you might hate it because you have to wait for them to come back.

If you aren't autistic and don't mind shit tons of dialogue there's an amazing game here.

>>715675187 (OP)
I tried months ago but after 1 hour of nonstop yapping in all those quests, I just uninstalled again. Did they add a skip button now?

>>715685420
>SKG forces them to have an end of life plan
Not necessarily, there's probably no way that would be retroactive and Mihoyo could just pull out of that region too.
I do hope they do that though, it's insane how high quality this one in particular is. To just delete it would be a crime.

That said, you should just play it because you're just missing out. Genshin is way too good to be the way you are. I feel like that for most live service games but I play this one.

>>715675187 (OP)
if you want a 100 hours of mind numbing experience then sure

>>715686247
it's 100s of hours actually

All the heroes I wanted are from the standard banner so I don't have to give these chinks a single dollar.

>>715687439
they give a free one away at anniversaries now

>>715681780
Is it okay to roll a bit more on her banner if I need dupes on the 4*s?

>>715688196
If you aren't afraid of getting the 5 star sure. nta but I don't recommend rolling like that personally. You say you need the dupes but you don't.

>>715688196
Duplicates are very rarely ever worth it. People will tell you they are, but they're not.

>>715688802
>You say you need the dupes but you don't.
There's not many more characters I'm interested outside Arle, but I might change my mind on characters after Pyro Archon if I like their gameplay, I'm out of the loop on future characters as well. I think I only really have dupes left unless I decide to roll for weapons which I hear is worse than dupes.

I love Genshin for the Dark Souls item descriptions ancient history lorefaggotry. If you have the same type of autism you'll like it

>>715689579
I envy the autists with phds in genshin lore, it seems so fun.

>>715675187 (OP)
Feel free to try it out.
Ignore these glowing tendies.

>>715675187 (OP)
Ditzy ndr

>>715689681
If you only want the huge scale worldbuilding pieces you only need to read Before Sun and Moon, Finale of the Deep Galleries and maybe some notes from the Narz questline about Hyperborea. Everything else is piecing together ancient civilizations that were destroyed in manic quest for gnosis or defying fate, tracking specific characters in the cataclysm, in universe folklore, or why you shouldn't stick your dick in a djinn.

>>715690535
>you only need to read

>>715690535
Hyperborea is in Genshin?

>>715690535
>or why you shouldn't stick your dick in a djinn.
also I actually read those parts kinda, I absolutely loved desert 2. so kino

>>715690750
The Golden City of Hyperborea, City of Gods, seat of the Angelic envoys and the seven sage-kings. Erased from history when a female alien squid polymorphed into a human male to deflower the Angelic Maiden and teach them about Richard Dawkins.
If there's anything left of it it'll be in Nod Krai

>>715690936
seems like the hebe harbinger will be an angel

The most based individual to have graced this game

>>715691265
Do muslims really?

>>715691265
I can fix her.

>>715691018
Very likely. We know halflings are in Nod Krai (fae daughters of the First Angel) so her being a full blooded one would be unique.

>>715691265
Should have given her a humanoid full power appearance at the end though, would have made her more memorable than just being a bottle.

>>715691417
>We know halflings are in Nod Krai (fae daughters of the First Angel)
maybe you know that but that sounds cool, I hope they're cute like the other mascots. they've done very well with all of them so far. I kinda wish the first three regions had then too though.
well I guess seelies are kinda mondstadt's thing.

>>715691417
Did any Angels even survive the curse? Or will it be an asspull

>>715691620
Nabu Malikata/Goddess of Flowers was an Angel. Another class of beings you shouldn't stick your penis into.

You can cut down a big chunk of game size by installing just one language voice iirc

You're better off playing Wuthering Waves or that new game open world that's coming out

>The game's story is shit
>You're better off playing Wuthering Waves

>>715691934
Unlike Genshin the game has a skip button
So if you don't like the story there's that option

>>715691934
Redman please, wuwajeets are easy pickings, you're above that.

>>715692004
They added a skip button to Star Rail after the 40 hours of flat image unvoiced text main quest got too many complaints.

>>715693909
I wonder if the genshin devs will ever fold. Adding QOL is something gacha devs only do when sales/interest dries up, it's why Genshin has been getting a lot more this past year or so.
