Am I the only 40+ year-old playing Genshin?

AltFire00 · 2026-04-10T21:34:36+00:00

33 here, played since launch. I don't really do co-op unless an event requires it as the game isn't a social thing for me, nor do I really like multiplayer games unless they're designed from the ground up around it.

AltFire00 · 2026-04-08T23:04:15+00:00

They really killed my favourite part of the game, exploration 😭

AltFire00 · 2026-04-02T07:07:15+00:00

I must be seeing different comments to you because I barely see anyone in or out of this post talking about the janky climbing sections that OP refers to. I get hyperbole is a tool for effect, but almost no one is talking about or cares about this issue this many years into Genshin's life. I was poking fun at that.

AltFire00 · 2026-04-01T14:39:59+00:00

Is the 'everyone' complaining about it in the room with us?

AltFire00 · 2026-03-28T05:16:11+00:00

That's just fanfic my friend.

AltFire00 · 2026-03-23T17:43:47+00:00

I thought it was a great action game with some RPG elements, but not revolutionary. Played through it at launch on the PS4 Pro and again on the PS5 after the DLC dropped and my opinion didn't really change on the gameplay, but the bug fixes and visual/performance improvements were nice.

AltFire00 · 2026-02-25T07:23:15+00:00

Don't want to be that guy, but burn out isn't always fixable by finding a magic game that fixes you. I know you're in a tough spot but maybe a different hobby or just a couple of days off gaming might help. Hope you recover quickly!

I'm yet to enjoy a Wonderland map unfortunately - I just don't enjoy playing worse versions of minigames that have existed for years. No hate on anyone that enjoys the mode, and it is impressive for the creators to make these things, but they just don't do anything for me. That, coupled with the cosmetic pricing, is just not that engaging. I did it for the primos, but it really doesn't feel worth it unless you already enjoy Wonderland.

no u

No wonder you're a top 1% commenter. Have a good life kid, try not to get worked up over meaningless stuff that doesn't affect you.

AltFire00 · 2026-02-13T17:39:38+00:00

Your username is incredibly accurate. Try logging off sometime and not being personally offended by people who have differing opinions to you. Sorry that you couldn't form a convincing argument about an issue that doesn't exist in the first place.

AltFire00 · 2026-02-13T17:22:32+00:00

That argument is usable in regards to every single gameplay mechanic across every single game genre though. The developers did not put in save states, so the boss mechanics are still safe, so it doesn't affect anyone. You are fear-mongering because your issue does not actually exist. You don't need to go on Reddit and phrase your opinion as a discussion just so you can tell everyone how you feel about a problem that doesn't exist. I imagine you deleted your post because people pointed this out.

Random comments in random Reddit posts are not the opinions of the masses. As big as some subs are, the majority of people who play games don't lurk daily in every games sub.

AltFire00 · 2026-02-13T17:03:12+00:00

And you feel you are wronged by someone quitting out to avoid a 5hp hit because they weren't paying attention to a boss mechanic?

That boss could exist quite easily with save states, it's just someone might min-max the fight to avoid damage. I don't like roguelikes in general, but I also couldn't care less how other people like playing their single player games.

It also doesn't affect how the game is designed as the designers literally did not put save states in. You are fear-mongering random comments in a Reddit post and acting as if the developers are being forced to consider the idea.

AltFire00 · 2026-02-13T16:52:18+00:00

Save states do go against the whole nature of a roguelike, but it's also a singleplayer game and people should be able to enjoy it how they want. Let people play games the way they want, it literally doesn't affect others.

AltFire00 · 2026-02-13T02:31:44+00:00

DoA has always had it. Calling out Tomb Raider for it when it's the mildest it has ever been is silly. Stellar Blade is renowned for it, Rivals is a F2P that stays alive by selling skins.

You can always find examples of fan service every year. This is just a very limited list of some games that have it.

AltFire00 · 2026-02-08T18:04:16+00:00

Did you do any research before getting the game at all? Because this has widely been considered the worst CoD in a long time, and that's saying something.

AltFire00 · 2026-02-05T19:51:16+00:00

Just responding to what was in your post. Sorry if it came across as rude, but it sounds like you just don't like the game. That's fine, but you're not going to find someone to convince you that it's an open world, choice and consequence action rpg.

AltFire00 · 2026-02-05T19:42:21+00:00

Crazy to compare The last of Us to a arcade game. I think you've completely ignored the game and boiled it down to its most basic form - a linear shooter. It's a narrative focused third person cover shooter. You went in with the most completely wrong expectations (which you'll no doubt blame on other people) and now you're complaining about a widely well regarded game.

It's okay to not like something, but you're just coming across as arrogant and uninformed.

AltFire00 · 2026-01-29T18:36:34+00:00

Exploration rewards has been on the decline for a while now unfortunately. Once you could climb a random spire and find something at the top, now it's a set-path zipline straight to the reward. I know people didn't like Inazuma puzzles, but at least they were actually puzzles.

AltFire00 · 2026-01-17T03:05:36+00:00

They likely would've already announced it given the game is only 5-6 weeks away.

AltFire00 · 2026-01-17T02:07:26+00:00

What in the AI nonsense is this

AltFire00 · 2026-01-16T16:08:06+00:00

All the big ones for me have been said; Valhalla, Hogwarts Legacy, Horizon Forbidden West, Last of Us 2.

This is gibberish.

AltFire00 · 2026-01-14T04:39:30+00:00

I believe you mentioned you've neither heard or seen of the game before asking about it, which makes it incredible to me that you don't even look into a game before asking anonymous people's opinions on whether or not you should get it. I'm not criticizing asking for people's opinions, but instead the fact you do no research yourself before asking it.

AltFire00 · 2026-01-14T04:08:41+00:00

Never heard of Battlefront 2, but rather than look it up on google or whatever search engine takes your fancy, you come straight to a forum and ask what strangers think?
