๐ฎ Mixed Impressions on NetaLand's Gameplay and Characters
The speaker, a long-time Genshin player, shares a critical first impression of NetaLand, a new area in the game. They appreciate the Aron Quest's immersive storytelling, which reminds them of adventure games like Zelda. However, they express disappointment in the character designs, finding them outdated for a 2024 game, lacking the appeal that would motivate players to collect them. They also critique the game's mechanics, noting improvements like new attack combos for Morani, but feel these enhancements are overdue and not innovative enough. The speaker also mentions the game's paywalls and slow exploration pace, suggesting that while some aspects have improved, the overall experience is still lacking compared to their expectations.
๐ Disappointment in Genshin Impact's Stagnation and Lack of Innovation
In the second paragraph, the speaker continues to express dissatisfaction with Genshin Impact, particularly with the game's systems and endgame content. They criticize the limited and outdated commission system, the slow and unrewarding artifact crafting process, and the unchanged ABI system despite the game's financial success. The speaker also laments the lack of engaging game modes and the absence of fun endgame content, suggesting that the game fails to utilize the characters players have invested in over the years. They predict a decline in the game's player base once the initial excitement for NetaLand fades, as the core issues with the game remain unaddressed. The speaker concludes by stating that despite some areas of enjoyment, such as exploration and the AR Quest, these are not sufficient to sustain a long-term player experience, and they foresee players moving on to other games with more frequent and meaningful updates.

Transcripts
this is going to be a genin first
impression for netl I'm a day one genin
player I have like 1,200 days and yeah I
tried to to check out netan without
being biased I try to get my enjoyment
out of this the Aron Quest is very good
okay and that's what they've been doing
the past couple of years as well they've
been cooking up a pretty decent Aran
Quest the arkon quest is enjoyable it
feels like a story game it's like you
play Maybe Zelda or something I don't
know what's a good comparison to this
but they put a lot of effort especially
the netland arquest had a lot of Epic
scenes maybe not a lot but good scenes
that were quite fun to watch voice
acting was okayish overall I did get
some enjoyment out of this for me I
think the story is the only thing why
you should play this game right now you
canot look at this character and be like
okay this is a new game from 2024 she
looks so outdated man it's kind of sad
to be honest this is a 2024 character
new characters look mid I have not seen
a single character where I was literally
like I want this character maybe it
could be because the game is 4 years
sold and all the characters as I said
look outdated as hell because I do
remember when I jumped into Fontaine I
wanted literally I looked forward so
much to chlorin when I saw chlorin I
literally was like okay I'm going to
play this this expansion I'm going to
play this update just for chlorin I'm
going to wait until she comes out I'm
going to get her not a single one in
netland where I feel like I want to get
this character well clonan is probably
the best looking one it's still not like
I need her especially the the standard
base characters which is Mu Lani kinich
and Kachina like who the who the hell
thinks this is like 2024 quality who's
going to be like I want to pull this and
the same went for sumeo when I played
sumeo I wanted to pull for de okay de
was such a motivation to play neton is
definitely missing interesting
characters that are looking spicy that
are looking good even the Pyro and looks
mid is not really encouraging me to pull
her I think there's so many characters
that look better than than the Pyro Aran
and it's kind of sad because I've always
thought the Pyro Aran have to be the
best looking ones because they're Gods
they want us to pull them it's just a
Miss design wise because when you look
at this that's like better like Navia is
on a different level for example or
chlorine so now let's talk about the
gameplay elements because I do think
they actually tried to improve it
especially with morani because this is
the only one that I kind of played a lot
I think they try to make the fighting
more interesting they actually now have
literally different mechanics as you can
see I have like this shark bite which
nobody so far had anything else in this
game that's all you did in this game for
four years all you did was e and Q now
you literally have like a you have left
click it's at least something it's a
different it's a combo system it's kind
of similar to Linny but yeah Len's
gameplay is super boring comparon they
also faster if you look at the kinage
gameplay that we have seen in trailers
kinage is also quite faster they tried
they literally tried I think it's a good
start but the thing is it would have
been a good start four years ago or 3
years ago like this this is something
they should have done three years ago
better and more interesting Innovative
gameplay making different characters and
play Styles and not making every
character feel like a copypaste kit
where literally kaching shares the same
old with chlorin with chori there's so
many characters that have the same
abilities it's literally a scam and you
pull and spend money for this man it's
so sad yeah I would have wished for this
to happen like 3 years ago a different
type of character and they that the devs
actually try to do something different
as I say here it's like 15% better than
old characters it's more fun but the fun
is pretty much payal they tried to
innovate it but it's too late and years
behind let's talk about traveling um
better traveling the traveling is better
than ever with these dinosaurs and new
characters but again it's map wall and
pay walled so again when we come to
schnees NAA next year or you go back to
the old zones you don't have these
dinosaurs it's going to be the same
boring ass exploring and same Pace
movement that is super slow it's going
to be the same problem uh death's
actually useless quote by D by the way I
don't know why they do these temporary
solutions I don't understand for the
dollar amount genin makes it's a free
out of 10 game how can a game be so
mediocre when they make so much money CH
It's probably hard to develop a game
like this and have so much money and uh
spend it wisely maybe invested wisely in
the development team and stuff maybe
find the right people to make the game
better it's probably hard they have not
been doing doing it I guess ending this
off with there's no fun game modes no
end game still that is fun imaginary
theater is not fun at all the whole game
is about building your characters and
there's nothing fun you can do with
these characters the whole thing the
whole game should be about the
characters it's a gotra game you pull
these characters you make them stronger
you want to use them effectively and in
a fun way but there's nothing fun in
this game where you can actually use
these characters that you've built for 4
years the character build building is
still limited as even after 4 years
they have not improved it quality of
life is literally not in the game it is
limited with domains that you have in a
weekday you're super limited with
resources uh maybe they made it a bit
better with the chests now because I saw
when you open a chest you sometimes get
materials out of it which is quite an
interesting change but should have done
3 years ago it's a bit too late artifact
system is still bad even with the
improvements the artifact FX selector is
embarrassing bad you can make one
artifact in 4 months give me one good
argument why this is a good game design
decision there's 80 characters and you
can only make one artifact Cup in 4
months so that's crazy now commission
system is still the same since four
years by the way the abis is still the
same since 4 years no improvements not
even in netland I I just don't get it
man they have so much money they could
improve the abis they could improve the
commission system I farmed ores for 4
years I have
8,988 and guess what I got all of these
from KR never went out there to farm
them myself I want to send my characters
out there for something useful and not
ores why do I need to farm for four
years freaking crystals it does not make
sense there's no excuse at all and it's
still there even with netland the NPC
design is also a joke in this update man
I really thought nlin would be better J
it's not the update we've been waiting
for it's not it maybe withn maybe in two
years with kria who knows but it's like
years behind and I don't even think even
if they fix everything it's still going
to be bad honestly you can play the AR
Quest I think the AR Quest is good it's
not bad um maybe if you like exploring
genin and if you like the usual genin
impact that you're used to you can get
enjoyment out of this but it is still
genin impact sadly and that's a bad
thing okay it's the it's the old genin
impact that you're used to when you
fought netan is going to save genin
impact it's not there is maybe a 5% to
10% Improvement and that's not enough it
would need a 100% Improvement so what
they did in netland is 10% but what we
need is 100% it's still missing like so
so so freaking much and I don't think we
will ever see that day by the way and I
think it's going to die in a few years
it's it's a consistent decline of player
base I think after the netl hype is over
people will wake up they will realize
that this game is in a steady decline
and it's not fun there is barely
anything that holds up in genjin except
for maybe a bit of exploring and a bit
of Aron Quest and that's it sadly that's
that's not enough for life service
gotcha game there should be good
gameplay there should be good end game
and fun modes it's not it's not there
there's a lot more stuff that I didn't
write down but let's keep it at that
that that is pretty much my first
impression I don't think the Zone looks
good but I hate exploring in genion so I
will not explore at all I just hate
exploring in genin I mean I I don't
really like exploring in Ving waves
either but it's still better in bva
because I'm not an Explorer I I don't
like exploring I did not 100% anything
in baa even if if it's fun there even if
it's faster there I think engine is
pretty much done uh for me at least I
did get them my enjoyment out of this I
think the new character is pretty fun
for one day then you realize that
watering waves is still better it's kind
of crazy because it's like genjin
improves the game every year but
watering waves improves their game every
update you know that's what it feels
like we need an anniversary in genin so
that something changes and yeah it at
this pace it's just GG it's over so
what's next what next is that we going
to play aor pomilia and nte and project
mugan and Bing waves everybody's going
to move on jump to a new game better
game deaths that actually work on the
game every update and not every every
year if genin would at least have hot
wuss I could at least see why people
play it now but I think the wus are so
mid right now clonan is a copy paste of
Navia and deia it's like a mix mava has
a freaking motor Cy uniform I don't know
who wants that who wants to be in a
biker gang as a py aren I don't know
yeah if I could at least say that man if
they would at least have fan service man
it's not the case
tldr blue arov players will like this
game
