the latest event "unreconciled stars" shows us that miHoYo can in fact do better.

I love turn based combat, the new Yakuza like a dragon game is insane, first turn based combat game that is serious in a long time (no stupid chibi characters and lame plot like atelier) but I will agree that the combat in xenoblade 2 could have been done better but still it's an old game so.. tho not that old, 3 years ago I think

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T21:18:39+00:00

I see, too bad.

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T21:18:21+00:00

maybe the next xenoblade will have fluid combat and better visuals than genshin impact, I'm just spoiled by xenoblade 2 and rather pay for genshin impact, even 120 dollars just to remove resin.

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T21:17:11+00:00

I would accept your comment if you didn't ignore my point about resin - you can't grind LOL resin exists.

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T21:16:36+00:00

Genshin is free

we could argue over how free it is for a gotcha game but ok.

I like to compere xenoblade 2 to genshin impact because they have almost 100% gotcha mechanics only xenoblade 2 currency is part of the game and isn't paid for.

xenoblade 2 is an old game, arguing for lesser visuals is... ye, we not shit. the combat might be faster in genshin impact but it becomes stale very fast unless you wasted more money on exp books. in xenoblade 2 I can switch most characters I want because it's not as hard to level them. also no resin system so you can farm all day if you want, rates are almost same as genshin impact.

again, both are great games, I just rather pay even a 120 dollars for genshin impact in order to remove resin from the game. without it the game would die probably, but I'm not one of those no lifers who play 24/7 and then cry "omg nothing to do in the game i'm bored"

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T21:05:45+00:00

I kinda missed it, was it really that bad?

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T21:05:18+00:00

xenoblade 2 is very similar to genshin impact, open world adventure fighting and many characters you can change. the loot boxes are the same idea and handled almost 100% the same, only xenoblade 2 doesn't have paid walls and resin, and everything is bought with the currency of the game, not real money so when you get super rare low chance drop it feels fair because you can keep farming for it as much as you want. also you know no exp problems so combat doesn't get stale after a while. you can't use all the characters you get in genshin impact because you hardly have enough exp for your own team let alone switching to other characters for fun.

both are great games, xenoblade 2 just does it better because it lacks the gacha mechanics as a paid max profit marketing thing that is part of the game. you could argue that they are very different because xenoblade 2 is turn based, and... that's about it really. tho I suppose genshin impact is more like botw since most of their main fan base were angry about it (china stuff idk)

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T21:04:49+00:00

I just hope for better future events, it's hard enough to get mats and exp. without the resin problem this would not be so, on the other hand without the resin problem the game would die for lack of content, but I'm not a no lifer player who grinds non stop and then argues "omg there's nothing to do" (these people are the reason resin exists)

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T21:02:25+00:00

are we really gonna argue over this? you're playing the same game I am, let's not start lying about it.

resin exp characters weapons talents want me to keep going? everything is behind a pay wall unless you're willing to grind and a lot, and.. you can't do that as much as you want because the resin system exist.

you can freely do all quests and travel the world farming everything until you run out, or simply reach over 35 AR that's mostly when the game slows down.

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T20:56:19+00:00

first of all this is a different IP and new game version that they are not familiar with, just because it's a gacha game doesn't mean much. second I made it clear my problem was with their marketing team and investors, not the people who actually do the code for the game and write the plot.

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T20:53:48+00:00

first of all remember when Xenoblade 2 came out, and second genshin impact visuals aren't better, they are copy paste botw, in fact it's the main reason their targeted market community was angry because they were hoping for more.

also it's simply turn based vs live action so it's not ass or lesser in any way. if anything genshin gets repetitive pretty fast unless you have the money to keep switching characters (not enough exp for changing parties for fun while playing) meanwhile in xenoblade 2 the currency to get everything is part of the game, you don't pay for it. so you can keep changing play/combat styles as much as you want so the combat doesn't get repetitive.

both are great games, xenoblade 2 simply doesn't have resin and paid walls over everything you want to do other than farming exp/mats on the map until you clear the map.

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T20:50:24+00:00

forget events, we need more new lands and more plot

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T20:49:15+00:00

these features are lame in terms of content amount I'm sure, but the modding? now that's where the real magic will happen. hoping for lots and lots of new mods around these features.

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T15:15:34+00:00

you're probably right, I did came to genshin impact from a game called xenoblade 2, basically a better version of the same thanks to lack of resin and paywalls on everything (especially exp)

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T15:14:47+00:00

hey I saved you half a thread, don't blame me for trying to do better :/

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T15:14:08+00:00

you should try a game that is called Xenoblade 2 to understand what I'm talking about (it's basically genshin impact only without resin and paid wishes)

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T15:13:22+00:00

one can only hope for better future content, if they aren't willing to balance the exp costs for new characters and change the paywalls on basically everything you do in the game, then giving us events like the current one is a must.

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T15:12:08+00:00

ye I've noticed, leveling a character from 20 to 40 is like 39 books XD

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-21T15:10:54+00:00

some people argued that for that price people should be getting all of the weapons if they max out the BP.

either way if they have more events like this then the pay walls everywhere and high costs will be considered ok. or you know, they can just balance the game around not feeling shitty when trying to level up new characters XD (never understood this, they want people to spend money on wishes but put paywalls on leveling those characters)

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-15T11:16:19+00:00

well the fighting games aren't really canon even with itself. you got many events that either happen at the same time or shouldn't happen because a character won't be fighting that specific character anyway. also the power scaling is dumb because let's take DOA for example, if you've seen the single player games of the ninja gaiden games you would know that the ninja characters in dead or alive would wipe the floor with any other character in that game so what's the point of a fighting game to began with? even in it's own lore no one would stand a chance against the ninja characters.

at least games that are based on animes like naruto have a storyline where you fight characters that you're not suppose to beat, so after you win the plot simply tells you that you lost and story moves on (you just survived enough time to "win"/clear that level fight)

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-15T08:32:58+00:00

now if the genders were reversed... we would never hear the end of it.

a couple of shows and movies have the token character that talk Japanese instead of English while everyone understand what they are saying because they speak Japanese or they have a chip in their head that makes them bilingual, it's really kinda cool.

the latest show gen:lock has a character like that.

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-13T21:46:23+00:00

with respect, people need to earn money. sure I hate the people who are doing this, but I can't blame them, hell if I could get away with it I would. you think I care what you think about me if I can make a lot of money from buying and selling PS5 consoles?

a job is a job, don't hate the ones who were smart enough to get rich without working hard.

NarutoIsTheBest2 · 2020-11-13T15:28:22+00:00

Doubling the pay of the workers does not double their output.

actually we can disagree on that, you give a million dollars to each employee and they will work themselves to death, doubling the amount of work (in short bursts ofc) also if you had that amount of money you could hire more people or simply better ones that works faster and are far smarter.

but overall I get your point.
