i wanna try it
nah literally idk how the game will have any new players bcos to get to the new content it will take months of just grinding the story to get there. im AR58 and its even boring then bcos all i do is abyss n im still in fontaine cos theres just sm talking but ive explored basically half of natlan. the story just is so slow
fr bro we are almost nearing snezhnaya and there's still so much to uncover in the story, we don't have much about celestia, we've only met one actual dragon sovereign, other than ronova and istaroth we have 0 idea about the other shades, idk why hoyo wants to gatekeep the story so much its so slow that its annoying as fuck
i dont even know what youre on about like i have no idea about any of it. i think theyve made it so you can skip quite alot of it but that just means so far its been pretty irrelevant which is just a waste of time lmao. kinda gathered that cos all we do is go to a region looking for help and theyre like well you gotta help us first and its just boring. i paid attention until inazuma, sumeru killed me off the desert is painful
It's a fun game, but it gets stale VERY quick once you reach the current end-game. With the amount of content that's out there now a new player would be occupied for months. The worldbuilding and music are fantastic (I unironically listen to the OST pretty often). It's really just the combat (and the English VAs if you play on English) that can get repetitive really quick unless you actively seek a challenge or a new team comp.
A lot of my enjoyment came from competing with my friends to see who could deal the most damage to an enemy in a single attack. I would farm the best artifacts and level up entire teamcomps to level 90 to get that damage up. But, I farmed so hard that I was cruising through the story and eventually I was done doing nothing but Abyss and wait for the next patch.
I would recommend since there's a lot of content. Just, take care not to spend much (or even better, don't spend at all). I played Genshin for a long time but I never spent a penny.
play if you enjoy running around, collecting loot, collecting anime characters and looking at pretty scenery
if you care more about combat and movement wuwa is more fun
both have a lot of mediocre to bad quests/writing but genshin writing is better overall and has some good points
also what a lot of ppl arent mentioning about the boring endgame is that it takes literally hundreds of hours to get there, so yeah its really boring but dont let that stop you lol
its fun if u not so focus on characters. The story is good, its like a movie forr me. But if u grind for characters (gacha), its not fun anymore cause u have to explore map, do quest (which is very suffering),etc..... After playing genshin for aboouot 100 days, as a free to play player, i have to grind for characters, which i felt the past 100 days is a waste of time
its okay. if the combat seems to be interesting to you i would try it. if you dont like exploration dont bother, as 90% of genshins content is exploration. the main storyline isnt bad but the first main storyline quests will no doubt feel dated. i played it a ton a couple years ago but got burned out of it
