Ugh, genshin. I remember wasting so much time on this
Fucking cancer that still has me poisoned.
Every time I play I think "I should uninstall this garbage, this is not even a game, why am I torturing myself like this?". Then I my addicted brain goes "oh, but there's only x amount of primogems I need to get to try one last time to get this shitty character that is the same as every other one but with 1% bigger numbers. I already wasted so many months on this, I can give up now".
It's amazing how well they domesticated the human brain and that I let myself be controlled like that.
To call this slot machine, talking simulator, lollie masturbator thing a game is an offense to games.
I really hope you can get out of the matrix
Glad I hated this from the start because of how many sponsored videos they got.
I started playing it because one of my friend invited me to. Back then the sponsoring stuff weren't noisy enough for me to hate it.
I liked Genshin until I noticed I love more to waste my time programming and doing system administration. Genshit is just time waster 3000 it doesn't even have a good history (my world level was like 50 lol). I played it primarily because it was really similar to Zelda Breath of the Wild
Pretty much same. I thought it was a Zelda clone and got hooked by the gambling mechanics.
I don't even know what the story is anymore. I just put in autoclick and check some times to see if the game needs me to move to another place for another 6 hours of talk.
I used to pay attention but it's just empty sausage to keep the player engaged longer cheaply. There is no puzzles or game play.
It's as interesting and addictive as a slot machine, but with 10 hours of torture between each pull of the lever.
