I ALWAYS enjoyed Genshin for the world, lore and story since day one. The combat and gameplay is simple enough, but the exploration and music is what made me play it consistently ever since it came out. It's the first game I played where i actually felt as if i'm travelling a world.

Wuwa, on the other hand, itches my Dark Souls gamer side greatly. I can get my satisfaction from all the movement techs to traverse the world, building and getting good with my teams, all the while with a serviceable story and a world that's pretty enough to chill in.

TL;DR Genshin is my comfort game in which I just wander around and listen to the music while i appreciate the gorgeous. Wuwa is where I actually play the game to enjoy it.

"but i dont like to think" same not just in game but irl too

I really don't know why there's so much tribalism between these two communities?? Can't we just play them together? I personally think that WuWa and Genshin cover each others flaws, gameplay wise WuWa covers genshin, and Lore wise genshin covers WuWa, if im done with gneshin for the day i can login in WuWa and spend my energy there, its really that simple. In the end of the day we have two good games to play.

This video had to be made before they added the literal “skip story” button to all main quests.

Genshin gives a more of a typical fantasy vibe, which is awesome. Wuthering wave gives like a techy fantasy which is also cool. Hope it promotes competition, cause both are epic

so, in short, about video:
80 % description
10 % opinion
10 % "hmmm, does this remind you of anything?"
You're welcome.

tbh, story an characters is genshins point. if youre not into the story, or excited about characters. youre going to run out of content. i love both, so for me im still into it

[Zeromint]

playing without music...the fuck? Especially in genshin? Certified sociopath.

Forgot to mention hologram bosses. That's 3 combat endgames on day 1

[zfbbpew]

dude ready said he is having a hard time choosing which combat system is complex🙃🙃 youve gotta be kidding me

[manofthepeople]

remember when Genshin Impact came out and people.who played BotW 3 years earlier said that it was just a BotW clone? Some of those former Zelda players even refused to play Genshin (some people in Japan even boycotted Genshin). In the end, the two games were different in the important ways despite the similarities.

I feel like Wuwa and Genshin are now in the same relationship 3 years later, where some Genshin players refuse to play Wuwa because they think it's just a Genshin clone. At the end of the day, I think it's irrelevant, if you enjoy the game, and have fun that's all that matters. If you refuse to give a game a chance because you think it's "just a clone" of another game you like, then suit yourself, you don't have to play that game.

There's no skip dialogue in this video, it's all yapping

[jlester]

What I'm pissed off about the story comparisons is that they just keep comparing it to fontaine like wtf thats unfair,
Compare it to genshin early versions, mondstat was just an introduction, they introduced a bad guy(signora, scar), introduce factions, they head to chinese inspired place, has a dragon god(might be just chinese fantasy trope) and their dragon god disappeared making the head of the city take over....similar?

[Tovy]

This guy probably experienced like 30% if the actual gameplay of both games

Putting aside our opinions on these 2 games thanks paikon for recording Wuwa content for us

[MikuscarShiro]

I personally think the complexity of Genshin's combat is doing the maths and teambuilding (big number onscreen = good team) which is not complex at all, just a lot of planning.

On the other hand, WuWa's combat lies on the player's skills to think at the moment. While teambuilding is also a part of the game, you can get more creative as long as you have the skills to back it up. Another thing is that each characters have their own niche in combat (e.g combo strings, forte skills, etc.) which creates variety of things to do in combat. Compared to genshin where you just spam
skill→burst→quickswap→repeat until main dps on-field→spam attacks
... and keep on doing it until all enemies die.

Then again, it's a matter of preference. Not everyone will enjoy getting one-shotted by bosses unless you can dodge/parry its attacks, and not everyone will enjoy one-shotting bosses after grinding for the perfect artifact for years.

This feels like an old review tbh...like you made this day one or two .

You ignore the story and turn off music in all games you play? Bro you lost any respect of opinion from me lmao.
