[Genshin] Why is it called a crap game? A thorough explanation of billing, gacha, and management issues from a social game perspective – ゲーム攻略まとめ

Genshin is a worldwide success as an open world RPG that can be played on smartphones, PCs, and PS.

On the other hand, when viewed as a social game,

“Genshin Kusogame”
“Gacha is hell”
“It takes too much time”
“Paying pressure is high”

There are also many negative comments.

Why is Genshin, which has so many highly rated reviews,
sometimes treated as a shitty game in the context of social games?

In this article,
I will calmly explain the shortcomings and dissatisfaction of Genshin when viewed as a pure social game.

The premise that Genshin is too special as a social game

First of all,
Genshin is very different in design philosophy from general social games.

Many social games are

Short time play requirement
Equipped with auto skip
Focus on circulation efficiency

Made with

On the other hand, Genshin is

Prerequisites for manual operation
It takes time to explore and move
Focus on story/direction

The design is

At this point, we are facing the problem of
fatally not meshing with the “people who seek comfort in social games”.

Reason why it’s called a shitty game ① Gacha is too heavy

The biggest complaint from a social game perspective is Genshin’s gacha specifications.

Characteristics of Genshin Gacha

Low 5 star emission rate
Deep ceiling
Double gacha of character + weapon
Performance adjustment assuming complete convexity

This allows

It is not completed even if you draw the character
You can’t show your true potential without a weapon
Charges tend to increase

The situation is created.

Especially for users who are used to social games.

“The cost performance is too bad”
“The billing pressure is high”

It’s easy to feel that it’s a crappy game, and it leads to bad reviews.

Reason why it’s called a shitty game ② Training is just too heavy

Genshin’s training is

Character level
Talent
weapons
Holy Relic

It has a multi-level structure with

Stress felt while raising children

Collecting materials is time limited
Sacred relics are completely random
Selection never ends
Efforts are not rewarded

Especially holy relics,

Main status
Sub status
Enhance results

It’s all about luck and
weeks of effort are often wasted.

If you look at it as a social game,
this is a very stressful design.

Reason why it is called a crap game ③ Daily resin limit is too tight

Genshin uses a stamina system (resin).

However,

Resin consumption takes time
One play is long
Cannot be easily digested

There is a problem called

As a result,

Difficult to digest on busy days
Required to log in every day
Play becomes work

A sense of obligation stress that is unique to social games occurs.

Reason why it’s called a shitty game ④ It’s too troublesome to go around and explore

In general social games,

Auto lap
Skip ticket
One-tap completion

has become commonplace.

Genshin has

No auto
No skip
Move manually

It has the following characteristics,

“It’s tough having to do this every day”
“It’s not for working people”

Many people feel this way.

Although it is a high quality gaming experience,
As a social game, it tends to be considered unfriendly.

Reason 5. Lack of end content

If you play Genshin for a long time,

Nothing to do
Only carefully selected holy relics remain
Only the spiral is the end content

It is easy to get into a state like this.

Looking at it as a social game,

Low sense of growth
Difficult to see goals
Lack of motivation

This leads to the problem

Reasons for easy flare-ups and dissatisfaction with management

Genshin so far,

Dissatisfaction with gacha specifications
Adjustment is insufficient キャラ
Difficult to reflect user requests
Slow improvement

It has become a hot topic.

In particular,

“Not listening to users”
“Prioritizing new characters over improvements”

It is easy to get the impression that
this is a factor that strengthens the evaluation of shitty games.

Characteristics of people who don’t like Genshin from a social game perspective

Genshin is
really not for people who don’t like it.

Not suitable for people

I want to play for a short time
I like auto laps
Focus on billing efficiency
Weak against gacha

For these people,
Genshin can easily become a source of stress.

Why Genshin is still appreciated (as a social game)

While there are many negative points,
There are reasons why Genshin is strong even when viewed as a social game.

This quality for free
Completeness of character production and music
Update frequency
Experience beyond the framework of smartphone games

“Even though it’s a social game, it’s home video game quality”

This is
an overwhelming strength that other titles do not have.

How to avoid bad game reviews (important)

How to enjoy Genshin as a social game

Do not aim for perfection or the strongest
Determine the charge limit first
Do not force yourself to do the daily routine
Do not compare with other social games

It is very important to be aware of this.

Summary: Genshin is “too heretical as a social game”

Gacha is heavy
Development is austerity
Low comfort

Still,

Worldview
Performance
Explore the experience

Because

is overwhelming,
continues to attract many users.

The reason why Genshin is called a shitty game is because
it deliberately throws out elements that are expected of a social game.

If you understand this before playing the game,
your evaluation will change greatly.
