      @@pixelbit_ the new update isn't even gonna be major. there's no team of people working on the game anymore bc valve simply has other priorities, so the maybe one guy working on the tf2 team rn is now enlisting the tf2 community itself to contribute whatever they wanna see in the game, and that'll be handpicked from the workshop this summer.
      you probably just saw the fact that the very content-starved community hyped the blog post up way out of proportion, tho i am at least hopeful that this update will introduce some neat stuff that isn't just the same norm from the past 6 years.
      but yea, in theory, should've been a good example. you've got some quality videos

      I genuinely don't understand why people are saying Genshin has a lot of grind. Yes there is a lot of tasks you can complete to follow the games progression system rewards but since there is no "hailed endgame where the fun is" if you dont like it you just play through the quest and run around and explore in the overworld until you're either done or that's not fun anymore and then you quit. And maybe you come back when there's new stuff that sounds good and maybe you don't.

    • @toad7395
      @toad7395 7 месяцев назад +4

      The main problem with genshin is its either overwhelming or no content. Speaking as an ar60 player on top of that resin system is shit. If you could grind hours once a day into artifacts It would be a much more fun imo, but no we need to play 30 mins each day no one likes that

WoW has the best dungeons to farm because you have to play AS a team and they have a well designed map for it. It's not like genshin where you go in and leave dungeon after 30s because it's so fucking easy. We all know that nothing will change.

    A game that will forever be my "Unlimited Replayability" would be Risk of Rain 2 for sure. Just to complete a single run takes at least 30 minutes, and if you loop it you could be playing it for hours at a time. I had a 380 minute run and yet I was still able to launch it the next day and play it cause it just has so many ways to play it. Great Video my guy.

    “Fun” is a big factor in replayability but sometimes it’s not the case. Gd for example is REALLY grindy when you play extremes constantly. The replayability in gd isn’t in the fun but the satisfaction of completing the grind of a level. Playing an extreme for months then getting the satisfaction of beating it is what keeps not only top players but the most of the player base to the game.

    • @pixelbit_
      @pixelbit_  8 месяцев назад +4

      That's a fair point. While similar, I think there's a distinction to be made between "fun" and "satisfaction." Although, satisfaction kinda leads towards falling into the "high skill ceiling" category.

    Great video! Love the content, but there is something I'd like to add on.
    Since we are analyzing gameplay loops that make games enjoyable and infinitely re-playable, I wanted to give my two cents on the state of Genshin, as someone who has been playing it for 2+ years. As you've said, the game does get grindy when you want to strengthen your characters, but I don't believe this to be the crux of its issue.
    I want to first express what makes Genshin so great on a gameplay level. As a fellow Genshin theory crafter perfectly put it, Genshin has one of the most elegant combat systems in any game ever. This is not an exaggeration, the combat system's simplistic yet deep nature allows it to have a sort of floor and ceiling in terms of understanding and effectively utilizing it. Every two character interacts uniquely with each other, which is amazing for a character based combat game.
    Genshin's actual issue comes from the developers' unwillingness to make use of this cutting edge combat system. Story is great, and limited time events can be fun. But in its center, Genshin is a game about combat. Yet, the developers are acting like they're scared to put emphasis on combat, and god forbid, make something that isn't either too easy or too frustrating. And this isn't just me clinging onto some unrealistic dream. We have had combat focused limited time events that were some of the most fun I've had with Genshin's combat. Yet, the only combat system you have permanent access to is The Abyss, which most usually boils down to a dps check.
    And this damages the enjoyment gained from most other aspects of the game. Why are you grinding for your characters? To get them stronger. But for what? There is nothing in the game that challenges your actual skill. Why should you pull for new characters? To have them of course, but afterwards you don't have a good combat areas to test them out and enjoy having and using them.
    The newest game made by the developers of Genshin, aside from having a system similar to The Abyss, has an amazing permanent endgame combat system where you can really have fun using your characters. It is a testament to the developers' capability in creating such a system. The issue is that Genshin, with a combat system containing more depth and player engagement, lacks such a system.
    TL,DR Genshin has the potential to be an infinitely re-playable and ever expanding gameplay masterpiece, but the developers' attitude against implementing proper gameplay loops to facilitate their amazing combat system makes the game fall flat in terms of actual gameplay. I really hope that the devs will eventually come around to the idea that implementing substantial permanent gameplay loops will increase player rates, and that they don't always have to rely on the "fear of missing out" for their financial growth.

What a fantastic experience it was.
    Now the game has been getting worse and worse, until it reached its worst just recently, and I am left with pretty much nothing to play. No multiplayer experience feels nearly the same for me. God I hope Marathon will be good.

    • @baselghanem759
      @baselghanem759 8 месяцев назад +3

      Was looking for this, it relies heavily on the "bad" grinding methods to keep players attracted, by giving ppl various dumb commendations for them to complete, same actions should be done over and over again for 100s if not even 1000s of times, for u to at last unlock a cosmetic which is just a re-colored variation of another cosmetic that can be bought with gold or money.
      It's trash, yet addicting, not because that the re-colored variations are good, but because you r hoping to get some good ppl that are grinding towards the same commendations u r grinding towards each time u press that "open crew" button, or joining a dc vc from the main sea of thieves dc.
      Game also suffers from 30% of players actively using cheats because it has no anti-cheat, trash storyline which has been milked for over 4 years now, like come on, this whole story could be told in a single year or 2.
      Not only that, but it has one of the worst types of bugs ur eyes can see, hitreg, which is basically hitting players 10s of times and non do count.
      Also there is no way of advancing ur fighting styles, cause u can sail for hours and don't find anyone worth of fighting, and once u start collecting loot, u get hijacked by a galleon of 4 players each having thousands of hours on game "ngl, I most likely be on that galley, but still my point is made clear", new pvp mode introduced doesn't help at all, since it relies on streaks for u to lvl up, yet it attracts 70% of the cheaters.
      And the list goes on and on, not even joking this is less than half of the problems this game suffers, I hope they start actually working on the game development rather than just introducing collabs to their game, the only reason this game is still not dead is because it hosts places for friends to group together lol.

    Genshin Impact doesn't really require much grinding. The early main story is a bit gate by Adventure rank, which requires doing some exploring or quests, but after that, you never have to grind. The world scales with your level, and you can just stop increasing your adventure rank if you want the world to never get more difficult in comparison to you. The only reason to grind is if you want to take on the "endgame" content, which is just repeated battles in the Spiral Abyss. Everything else in the game can be accomplished without grinding.

    • @pixelbit_
      @pixelbit_  8 месяцев назад +8

      That really depends on how extensive your definition of "grinding" is. For example, I would consider having to go to certain areas for items every day grinding since you're doing the same thing. Really anything that involves repetition (cooking dishes, doing tons of fetch quests, even just fighting enemies to gain levels) can be classified as "grinding," they just might be in smaller quantities. When I played Genshin, I found that it was composed of lots of smaller grinding sections, rather than large chunks of them.

    • @999satyam
      @999satyam 8 месяцев назад +17

      @pixelbit_ For the main game besides the Spiral Abyss, there really isn't much grinding. You just go from quest to quest. Levelling materials can be farmed pretty easily and even if you are going for Abyss, the main thing you are aiming for is higher dmg, or finding team comps and character synergies - which is super fun. (Though it would be nice if we had a better playground to play with it other than the Abyss. Also doing dungeons can be a bit boring sometimes, but if you do them in coop, it really isn't. Plus it takes like 5 mins. And when you do get good rolls, it feels pretty good!)
      Genshin is essentially a casual game. You play it for collecting the characters, the visuals, the music, the story, the lore, the little puzzles everywhere, the easter eggs, etc. The main content being the Archon quests(main quest line)/update quests(Like the Chasm, the Summertime event regions) that come along every month. Its basically a playable anime where a new season comes along every month. The event system is pretty okay too, even though some events can be pretty bland, once in a while they do release good events. Like the current swimming event, which I really liked.
      As for the 'grinding' as you've put it, you don't have to do it if you don't want to. You can just log in once a month or week, completely ignore those things, and just play the archon quest or update quest. Have your fun and log out. Loads of people do this. You can 100% everything super easily without ever touching the Gacha system.
      The game is easy.
      I'd highly recommend you to try playing the game till its current archon quest - maybe stream it. Maybe then you'll be able to understand it better. It's really fun.
