I was thinking about picking up Genshin Impact recently, so I'm watching this. But I just have to say, who makes a game/story with limited time canon events you have to show up for and then delete them out of the system, but keep them canon -.-

That's like launching a giant movie in theaters then it leaves and never releases on dvd.

[Chareddragon]

The biggest issues is that a lot of the really important lore stuff have been locked behind limited time events

[lnsflare]

For the temporary events that are no longer available, I would generally advise to play the Archon Quest, then look up the Event cutscenes for that patch on YouTube. Maybe some longplays for the summer events, just to see the massive and gorgeous maps they had put out for them.

I got interested in Genshin in the summer of last year after watching a video titled something along the lines of "now is the best time to start playing Genshin". I started with 3.0 And it took me until 3.2 to catch up with the main story but i still had Enkanomiya to explore and do all the side quests i missed by rushing the main story. Now that i'm up to date with everything i have my downtimes at the end of each update, eagerly waiting for next map expansions. This lack of content between updates prevents me from burning out because i simply don't play that often. Every time a new area of the map is released however, i play a lot.

This was a good overview. If you're not someone who digs deep into game lore and story, there really are no effective blockers to start now. If your love of games is driven by lore and story, I would recommend finding a few content creators who have captured entire limited events on Youtube and some lore analyzers (like Aster), then proactively mapping out your content. You don't want to watch spoilers early, but you don't want get too far without certain knowledge. Good luck.

I honestly dont care about the lore I just want a fun videogame and gamble for some pretty ladies

[why-so-toxic_]

It’s kinda hard in a way because starting in 2024 you’ll have a lot of catching up to do but when I came back after a long time in 2023 when 3.4 was out I enjoyed it and I had fun

[MoTanG_o]

Just remembering Sumeru's quests and the progressive wall behind certain quest make me wanna say No but considering my love for this game, I'd say go for it

[Venjoy_zzz]

Of corse you should.its a fictional masterpiece with amazing lore, and the more later you start the more stuff you are going to have to enjoy the game, also,if you think gacha is a problem remember no one forces you to be P2W.if you are f2p it makes you feel like you've earned what you got.

[WitchesAndRayGuns]

Inazuma is the big problem for character materials. The Chasm and Enanomiya may also be an issue. Fontaine is actually easier than most of Sumeru. When Fontaine came out, they had that book of stuff to do there which gave extra resources if you gathered materials and killed bosses. I managed to clear most of it on an account I opened up to help me learn Japanese (don't ask), and I don't think I'd finished the Monstadt arc at that point. Inazuma, on the other hand... You should be able to get to the weekly bosses there thanks to one of the recent QoL changes, but materials and open-world bosses are locked until you can open up the islands. That is something the seriously need to fix. I mean, Raiden and Yoimya are on banner right now. Wish for and get either of them without having Inazuma open and you are stuck at level 40.
Meanwhile, it's not really the cool 5-stars you're locked out of until their banners come around again. Trying to 'wish for' a 4-star you like is a total mug's game. I got Chevreusse at C6 just recently, but only because I was determined to get Raiden's C2 and I had a lot of primos save. I got the C6 on the pull I got the C2 on. I calculated it's almost £500 (call it $600) I put down for that and I WOULD NOT HAVE if I'd actually had to spend that much cash! You can wish for 5-stars, but practically, 4-stars are more random and you're less likely to get the ones you want.
End rant.

[realdripmeister]

been playing for like 3.5 years, have over 1500+ hours spread over about 820 days, and sort of quit like 6 months ago. At this point I don't really see the point the playing anymore. I don't give a fuck about the god awful storytelling (Lore is good, but NOT how they tell it), the shitty events, or the terrible new characters. I loved this game for the combat and exploration, and now that it's all so tiresome there's nothing left.

Fun Fact: An easy way to remember when you started playing Genshin to the day is to check the Character Archive and see when you recruited Amber.

I don't know the exact day Genshin released off the top of my head, but I started 9/29/20, so i was definitely an early adopter.

[JonnyFails]

I've got a tiny bit of criticism I feel like I need to add: If I were a new player, 7:10 might give the impression that the base game doesn't have any story or lore outside of limited events - at the very least, it would make me think the majority of the story takes place in the limited events. Yes, some of the biggest lore drops and best story telling happen in them, but it's kind of just a drop in the bucket when compared to the vast amount of story content and lore in the game. Especially the deeper lore that provides the world-building and history; the vast majority of that is in item descriptions etc. There's so much that most people who care about it rely on the wiki and lore videos, which is probably why there are so many headcannons in contention with one another. If anything, there's too much lore in the base game - which, iirc, is a sentiment you've shared in the past.

[otakuwhat_]

It’s a wonderful game that you can just play on your free time, it’s clearly aimed to help people relax and get lost in the world- I would recommend Genshin to anyone who just wants to chill and escape for a bit. Oh and the story? It’s getting better and better - story is one of the main things people should install for imo because hoyoverse are a cookin’

[samuel-ffsl]

For anyone interested in starting Genshin this year:

I'm a free-to-play player, started playing at launch then stopped after one month and a half and go back in 3.0 when sumeru released and played through the main quests and explored the new areas

The game is really good, the combat mechanics are really satisfactory and seeing as you improve in how to best utilize the characters is really nice

I wouldn't recommend spending any money on it (not even battle pass) because it is very expensive, and you wont't be missing anything otherwise

You can beat the hardest content in the game with the characters you get for free (and from time to time you're also getting enough primogems to pull for 5* characters, you'll just have to plan ahead)

Easily one of the best free games there are, you're not getting this amount of content even in some AAA +$60 games.

[KizKim]

I do have to disagree with "the later you start the better" Maybe depending on who we speak of that might be true. But for me its absolutely not. If I had started the game today I prob would have dropped it quite quickly. Having experienced all the stuff in the pace we did was just prefect for me. And I might end up getting spoiled by some random video or smth and just not be so interested in experiencing the story myself and just watch videos instead. Such things.

[SainInaban]

After spending 1203 days on Genshin, well Yes. Infact I will be playing till the Last Day before the Server Dies.

[johnm.]

I know I'm spoiled, but what I'd really like in Genshin is for the blue quests to be voiced too. 🤗

[DeeonleeCobb]

1:45 More than half of it's content released for the *Teyvat Chapter Storyline.*
Think on the implications of that.

[asasphinx]

Personally, I find this game better to play because I'm caught up to everything. If I had to go through the backlog of EVERY bit of missed content I'd quit. With gacha games as extensive as this, I'd feel like I missed the boat. Too many pieces of dialog, unexplored open world elements, missed character banners, missed events, etc to do.

Plus, artifact farming, am I right gamers? No one likes it, it's an almost neverending grind.
