What is it (Silent Partner)

One thing I noticed was that the character model physics interact better with the terrain in WW. Like you don’t get ankles snapped at weird angles or models clipping through objects during idle animations or while climbing. I just thought it was a nice attention to detail. Also the fact that your terminal morphs into a glider instead of just popping out of the characters back

The funny thing is that I prefer WuWas artstyle over Genshin, and that is on the worst settings. If you set the in game brightness to zero, everything pops so much more, and it looks absolutely gorgeous. It can look a tad washed out on default settings, but has the potential to look almost as vibrant as Genshin without being overbearingly bright and saturated like Genshin

One thing genshin will always get right is music

[OtakuCulture-]

Why are you comparing swimming mechanics from Fontaine? It's region exclusive, you know?

[fastreal]

Its not about Mihoyo vs Kurogames
This is about Unity vs Unreal Engine generation 😂😂😂

Why did I heard Lingyang saying "Green's Fkin Tournement"💀

[boooooooring]

People say that Genshin's world looks much vibrant than Wuwa, which is true. But we also have to realize that Genshin takes place in a world after 500 years from an apocalypse and is mostly peaceful. Wuwa world on the other hand is outright facing an apocalypse and hence the reason for such dark world. I hope we see some places in Wuwa which are not affected by continuous TD outbreaks and are much more vibrant than jinzhou

Genshin has very high color saturation that most people are used to. WuWa has better looking rock textures. Although kinda hard to see in this video, WuWa actually has very good looking water, which is more evident in shallower ponds. The graphics in WuWa looks a bit fuzzy as of 1.0, as if it needs to be at a higher internal resolution or processed differently.

All that aside, it is just way more fun to move around in WuWa. And when it comes to Genshin's repetitive rotation spam vs WuWa's more skill based reactionary combat, there is no contest.

Everyone starting to hate on Genshin while me love both

[rzor]

Wuwa:
>Looks better graphically
>better gameplay
>save your time,
>better gacha system
>better characters, way detailed
>generous and better rewards
even you can build characters faster.

Genshin:

>Good story, music and events
>Gacha system svcks
>Gameplay is slow
>Bad combat system
you need to spend more time playing and farming.

Ahhhh Genshin looks like a kid’s game now 🙃

The motion blur for wuwa is way better

[Teddy-wzmw]

Anime vs realistic
it all comes down to preference.

Which is the best?
-Both !

*GENSHIN* inspired by Zelda BW and mostly by HSR (their story share the same univers) and more oriented towards children, explaining his colorful aspect (and baby like face of many characters despite some may look old).

*WUTHERING W* : Inspired by many Open world like: Genshing, ToF and their MAIN inspiration Punising Gray Raven and NIER AUTOMECA. Oriented towards a mature audience, they offer a darker environment with amazing combat. Please take note that WuWa and PGR share the same universe. Is no secret that WuWa combat is a bit harder than the ones in Genshin.

In the end, the 2 of them are amazing. Despite the rivalry between their fan base, many people from Genshin enjoyed WuWa, the newcomer. So, why not enjoy both ....if you have enough storage, of course! 😅

Also, can we take a small break to appreciate we got 2 big, gorgeous world to explore...FOR FREE!??

To compare a 3-Weeks old Game Wuthering Waves to a 3-Years Old Game Genshin Impact, I am Amazed how Wuthering Waves provides all the Aspects that we want from Genshin impact but they couldn't and wouldn't provide.

Like for example:
- Genshin's STINGINESS providing only 45-59 Limited Pulls per Patch (the Upcoming 4.8 patch is only giving 58 limited pulls) while other games and Wuthering Waves already gives 177 Limited pulls and will also provide 93 Limited pulls in the next 1.1 patch, which is very Generous.

- Stamina Drain from Dash in Genshin while WuWa have unlimited stamina for this.

- Genshin's 90 pity banner while WuWa has 80 pity only and they have 2 Constellations you can buy for whales to save more money. Just get 4 copies and 2 free from shop to fully C6 a character which is huge.

- Genshin's Scam Weapon Banner of Two Weapons to Gacha with also chances of losing it to standard weapons or characters BUT in WuWa, you get it 100% Guaranteed (No Gacha)

- Single Jump Mechanics and Slow paced explorations in Genshin to Wuthering Waves Triple to Quadruple Jumps parkour and Echo Mounts system for faster traversal in this Vast Open-World Exploration which is such a Huge Quality of life.

- And many more. 😊 Tehee

in case some don't know, you can go to settings and reduce the gamma to make colours in Wuthering Waves pop more! it's in the brightness setting.

Genshin is the more beautiful game. But WuWa has most of the stuff we’ve been asking for in genshin in the longest time.

[maverick]

Everything is good in both, but i prefer WUWA battles. The move sets are so stunning in this game

[taxiarchissenekis]

One thing is for sure, WuWa has a wayyyy better combat system than Genshin. Genshin's is wayyy too boring.
