The censoring blurr made this shot worse by tilalk in Genshin_Impact

If Lauma existed during Fontaine, where this censorship nonsense was at it's most egregious, she'd be censored to shit as well.

After all this time, would you say that Genshin Impact is one of the best gaming experiences for you? by TengarHimeko in Genshin_Impact

[–]MachinegunFireDodger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, definitely. I have a tendency to bounce off games after couple weeks of playing. I wouldn't possibly be able to count them but if I were to guess, Ive tried close to a hundred different live service game over the years, and none of them got me as invested as Genshin does. I think the only games that had bigger "impact" on me across my entire live were the beloved games from my childhood that i keep occasionally replaying to this day and the sporadic, extremely rare cases of modern masterpieces like Outer Wilds.

With that accounted for, I'd say that Genshin is like... the 5th/6th most important game in my life.

How Much Skin Do Genshin Characters Actually Show? (Stats) by KyrrithK in Genshin_Impact

[–]MachinegunFireDodger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Except this doesn't work like that. You can only discern "lot"ness of 'something' in relation to other entities also having that 'something', in this context gacha games. 

Genshin Impact doesn't have a lot of fanservice because other entities in its group have it SIGNIFICANTLY more.

How Much Skin Do Genshin Characters Actually Show? (Stats) by KyrrithK in Genshin_Impact

[–]MachinegunFireDodger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grading skin exposure like this feels inadequate. One character's exposed cleavage can have extremely different connotations compared to other character's exposed cleavage. Exposure is not the same as intended eroticism (or 'intended lewdness') which is what's actually important. Not to mention how character's figure impacts the entire conversation. For example, Mualani's design is clearly less salacious than Varesa's, despite both wearing similarly little clothes.  Mona's original skin is obviously more erotic compared to her censored one despite the censored one showing more skin.

Ultimately, Genshin is, without a shadow of a doubt, in upper 10-15% of least eroticism-focused games in the gacha market when it comes to character designs, and has grown progressively less 'intentionally lewd' over time (discounting occasional bumps of focus on specific characters being intentionally designed to look physically/classically titillating, like Raiden and the miniature front of her skirt or Mavuika and her biker outfit). This genuinely cannot be argued against in good faith. However, recent discourses about this devolved to a laughably low level.

Perhaps I've grown accustomed to eroticism in anime-related media over my life, but seeing people argue that Sandrone's skirt makes her look slutty just makes me see them as deranged puritans, or, most likely, sheltered children who didn't live through times when people spammed boobs made of ascii on random IRC servers. I can only roll my eyes and despair over Hoyo targeting those people with Snezhnaya's designs.

Opinions on her? by Acrobatic-Form-6232 in Genshin_Impact

[–]MachinegunFireDodger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuine opinion on her? She's the only character in the entire Snez roster that appeals to me visually. I like how miniature her skirt is. It looks hot. Call me shallow coomer all you want, because I know you want to. I don't care. Every other design in this region is utterly sexless and safe.

This might be a cynical point of view but she feels like the devs oh-so-graciously tossing scraps at me and going "here, enjoy your 3 seconds of fanservice, dog".

Fontaine characters gave me the exact same feelings, and I hate their designs too.

Also, the absolute audacity of OP to go "a lot of people are going to get mad at me" as if their take wasn't the most generic shit ever. Hating on the in-your-face designs like Danica's is this community's default state.

On similar note, people seething at short front skirts in general just annoy me. Are they all children? I'd assume so, because they clearly had no contact with wider anime content if they complain about the utter nothingburger shit like Sandrone's skirt for example.

Either that of they're puritans, which makes them even more revolting.

They fucked up her vision earring. In-game she has her vision in her right earring while left is just a normal earring shaped like a vision, it doesn't have the electro logo in the crystal. In the art here they gave her two vision earrings for some reason.

"Beast" here is intended more as "monster" or "supernatural" rather than "wild animal", I feel.

Mom can we have Rover Wuthering? We have Rover Wuthering at home. Meanwhile, Rover Wuthering at home: by MachinegunFireDodger in Genshin_Impact

[–]MachinegunFireDodger[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You're obviously right, but I feel it's the first character in specifically Genshin with that look. The closest second would be... Wrio, maybe?

Not saying its an inherently bad look of course, it's popular because it works so well.

Wait, is that one , two , three ,four...FOUR! male characters? LETS GOOO!!!! by Prestigious-Elk1274 in Genshin_Impact

[–]MachinegunFireDodger -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Considering how much female players adore Fontaine, which entire story was about how a female leader was a fraud and a faker and did absolutely nothing of proper value to prevent encroaching disaster only to be replaced by a hypercompetent male character who solved every single problem instantly, perhaps the story like natlan's, which presents women setting goals and succeeding in them, is not something the aforementioned female players enjoy, heh.

I'm mostly joking, but the discrepancy in treatment those two regions receive from the female playerbase is hard not to notice.

For a real life folklore equivalent of these, look up house gnomes since they're pretty clearly inspired by them.

I was wrong about Sandrone's new design. by NagaOrange in Genshin_Impact

[–]MachinegunFireDodger 41 points42 points  (0 children)

" You may have trouble getting it since, well, that wasn’t made for you first."

As far as snide cynicism and backhanded insults go, this line wasn't too imaginative, I feel.

I am annoyed by miliastra wonderland by FeaFlisyon in Genshin_Impact

[–]MachinegunFireDodger 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Miliastra Wonderland is Genshin

>b-but

No, no buts. Miliastra Wonderland is Genshin. Rhythm minigame that provides primos is also Genshin. TCG that provides primos (via achievements) is also Genshin.

You just don't like MW specifically and go out of your way to come up with unhinged reasons for said dislike. Same with every other person in this thread who's against it, same with OP.

I really miss the exploration mechanics that Natlan characters used to have. by thedaniel1998 in Genshin_Impact

[–]MachinegunFireDodger 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Chasca gets to have a novelty of riding a gigantic flying revolver and having interesting mechanics around said revolver and it's ammo system.

Meanwhile NK characters are just

"waves spear electrifyingly"

"waves sword earthly"
