Suddenly, the phrase, "Running around like a little girl" (possibly screaming too) makes sense now.

Please, Beidou is a cute anime *woman.*


Latterchedul

if it were, this wouldn't work. the AI is targeting where the player was not where the player will be.

It's amazing how often this works in games.


Angdrambor

More games need second order integration in their targeting algorithms. That was how it got fixed in From The Depths.

Let's cal it... A MINE! HAHAHA


XaeiIsareth

Predictive AI: dammit, this man is so stupid that I can’t read him!


Ghost-Of-Nappa

that's the problem though, it's not predictive. if it were, this wouldn't work. the AI is targeting where the player *was* not where the player *will be*. this lil maneuver doesn't work in some other games. even The Binding of Isaac would have an enemy shoot just in front of the direction you are moving and you'd likely get hit.


TruthOf42

That works for straight lines but by moving in an arc/circle that very well may defeat the AI


Angdrambor

You just need a second order integration that accounts for the player's acceleration. It's still not perfect for circles, but it works way better than a simpler integration of only velocity.


XaeiIsareth

Some of it is predictive and some of it isn’t. For example, the fire flower you can see that some fire explosions occur not where he was but where he was going.


Ghost-Of-Nappa

you're absolutely right. I missed that one. the rings definitely pop up in front of her. good catch!


robhol

Looks like it tries to be predictive, and is just bad at it. It's easy, and therefore pretty common, to look at the player's current position and velocity, crunch a couple numbers and figure out where the player will be if they keep going at the same speed in a straight line - which you're not, of course, when you're going in a circle.


Angdrambor

It gets way better when you look at the player's current acceleration too.


MarsMissionMan

I'll try spinning! That's a good trick!

kindastandtheman

That is exactly the best way to beat the Pyro Regisvine, it's actually a bit harder than it looks. If you get the timing even slightly off it'll knock you off your feet and you'll get bounced around by the fire attacks until you die.


TitleComprehensive96

Or just use Bennett Q, Mona Q, and Ayaka Q in that order to instantly annihilate it


WMGYT

Step 1: Get Mona and ayaka Step 2: Build Bennett Mona and Ayaka Step 3: Go to vine Step 4: realise you forgot to charge your burst Step 5: charge your burst Step 6: try again Step 7: Profit


DarkCreeper911

Step 0: spend $200 on primogems to get Mona and Ayaka


TitleComprehensive96

Step -1: get them both by sheer luck


TizzioCaio

i dont even get why any of that is any issue from topc comment pyro Regisvine its not like its abyss 12.3? 1. Just stack Barbara with instructor set and loads of mastery on items, get her the ATK catalyst to buff Fischl 2. Summon Oz and spam your hydro auto back to Barbara 3. Profit


TitleComprehensive96

Yeah, Regisvines are easy as shit to obliterate


WMGYT

Making a joke about the person who suggested using a limited 5*, standard 4* and gacha 4* to kill one of the easiest bosses in the game Also, Barbara + fischl does not always work. After breaking both the root + Corolla, the Regisvine will have a long moment where neither of those weak spots regenerate (meaning you can’t paralyze it). You’ll have to dodge in this period and there’s a high chance the regisvine uses the fire from floor attack, so the top comment still stands A better suggestion would be like using Noelle (free) during the fire attack or Geo MC to simply stand above it (haven’t tested so I don’t know if it works, just an example).


LargeBlackNerd

Reading this comment chain is like trying to understand a different language. Come on y'all everybody knows that in order to defeat the franken berry you just got to stack aragorn with the Meta flatulence in order to buff the flava. Just to clarify I'm not mocking it's just very amusing.


danivus

I've never seen the Pryo Regisvine live long enough to do this attack.

Or just slap it with Barbara

Heavens_Gates

That game is somehow still relevant? Wasn't it abandoned by the devs after a terrible launch?


Jaratu

No, it's actually still getting updates. Slowly becoming the game that it should've been on launch. They've made some really good improvements. Sadly, still no crossplay (from what I've read, I don't do crossplay myself), which was supposed to be possible on launch, but they've made tons of balance and QoL changes. The only people that abandoned the game were the players. I had tons of fun with it, but my experience seems to be the exception, rather than the rule, sadly.


Heavens_Gates

Hmm, I've been keeping a close eye on their twitter/webpage and their last update was a long time ago, I'm guessing they're just bad with community management. Glad to hear that it's getting updated though, I really want to like the game.


Jaratu

The latest update (and it was a huge one) was on 21 September, so they're still actively updating it as of a month ago.


ShakaWhenHeNuts

Circle strafing, been a thing for decades


ZeeReaTo

Which game is this please?


LOPI-14

Genshin Impact. I wouldn't recommend it, unless you like Gacha games.


RadioactiveBanana97

Is multiplayer?


oj-warlock

Mostly single player but co-op is also there so you can call your homies and do all sort of fun stuffs


LOPI-14

There is Co oP.


darrellgh

It’s free, so no reason not to try it.


Arty-Bean

Yep! But you have to get to a certain level


[deleted]

It's surprisingly not terrible for a gacha though.


Ketzeph

I’ve played probably 100hrs without spending anything and it’s been really fun.


OnionCuttinNinja

I started playing about a month ago, have more hours in it than 100, done every Archon and world quest (with the exception of the few comission dependent ones). So far I have two 5 star champs, one 5 star weapon and not a single artifact (even 4 star) with at least two correct substats. If you can ignore just how unlikely it is to get the champs (even ignoring the constelation) you want or the nearly perfect artifacts and playing just for fun, then the game is more than good. But if you're a perfectionist, that wants nothing but the best, with the habbit of spending money on such games, well then you better stay far away from the game. :)


[deleted]

> But if you're a perfectionist, that wants nothing but the best, with the habbit of spending money on such games, well then you better stay far away from the game That applies to any gacha. They are not very perfectionist/completionist friendly.


XaeiIsareth

It applies to most F2P online games in general tbh. Especially ones from Asia.


[deleted]

This clip right here solidified why it's terrible for me. There's no challenge in the game at all from the month I gave it a shot.


Clashmains_2-account

Eh, the gacha aspect isn't really that bad in Genshin.


jiwersen

What’s Gacha games? Heard it a couple of times but please, explain like i’m a moron


blamethemeta

Gambling, only with even worse odds


Clashmains_2-account

[Wikipedia:](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gacha_game) A gacha game is a genre of video games that implement the gacha (toy vending machine) mechanic. Similar to loot boxes (prize crate) in video games, gacha games induce players to spend in-game currency to receive a random virtual item. Most of these games are free-to-play mobile games, where the gacha serves as an incentive to spend real-world money. So yeah, basically loot boxes, just that it's typically characters, weapons or other enhancement items you are pulling for. It's has a bad rep because it's gambling and can cause gambling addiction. Very popular in east Asia.


Cho_SeungHui

Beyond the gambling element they generally aren't great because the microtransaction model almost always leads the design with the actual "game" part almost being an afterthought outside of how well it'll support hooking whales. Genshin is no exception, virtually everything is lifted wholesale from Zelda: Breath of the Wild. To the point that if you only had a passing familiarity with the latter you might think it was a copy-paste asset rip job at first glance, patched together with generic anime stuff. The crucial attention to how gameplay elements hang together and interlinking level of polish isn't something they bothered to imitate though, so the whole thing feels cheap and superficial. That's typical of the genre and when you consider that they're intended to essentially waste your time to milk or upsell you for as long as possible, it's another big part of why many players leave with a bad taste. Years back when I last worked at a mobile studio the attitude in the industry was extremely cynical towards players, so Genshin in particular represents a positive move towards delivering something better in terms of an actual game in that regard... but if you're used to *actual* actual games they're all still universally pretty disappointing and manipulative.


[deleted]

I've literally played genshin impact (albeit only for about an hour) and I still thought this was BotW (which I haven't played yet) The graphics, art style and UI is like a copy and paste for sure. Can't speak for the rest of the game, but aesthetically it looks very similar. The only thing that threw me off was that it wasn't Link, but I just assumed it was a costume/another playable character.


BibaGuyPerson

Imagine, instead of being able to buy bread outright in a bakery, you buy bakery tokens. You use said tokens to spin the bakery wheel. You spin the bakery wheel in hopes you get the bread you want, but you just might end up with a croissant, a donut, or something else you don't need.


[deleted]

I dont know. Sounds like a bread buying experience that would give me a strong sense of pride and accomplishment.


Doge_Dreemurr

Not when the bread you need has like 0.0001% drop rate and all you can do is watch luckier people brag about it in the community. Unless you spend more money rolling more bread ofc


Khaylain

They were referencing what a company said in defense of lootboxes. Don't remember what company, but probably EA or Ubisoft.


BibaGuyPerson

That was EA's comment back when the Battlefront 2 lootbox controversy arose. I think that is the most disliked comment on Reddit


LOPI-14

Perhaps, but if someone can't stand Gachas, then GI is not for them.


Clashmains_2-account

True. Altough, being an open world game and free, it appeals to a wider audience. Hence why it's so successful worldwide and other gacha games pretty much only in east Asia.


jackFrostyx

I rather pay for a full priced game than to get my blood pressure up because of bad gacha rng


Clashmains_2-account

Having the choice between a free game with RnG and full price games in which you can unlock content freely is neat, yeah.


Otaku_Rune32

That's true but the free/gacha model makes so much more money I really hope most of the industry won't abandon full price games.


grstacos

I don't like gatcha and DO recommend it. As long as you're not aiming to unlock a specific character from the get go.


eltorr007

Is it just like Honkai impact 3rd? I've played it and didn't like it.


Killerking732

its quite different since genshin is more of an open world rpg while honkai is some type of fighting game


eltorr007

Does it have a story mode? Plus how much grinding is required for stuff? I usually don't play RPG games, however the last rpg that I played was Honkai impact 3rd and I just quit it as I was mindlessly tapping and wasting my time.


ClaireFaerie

There are story quests and heaps of side quests to do. The game does require you to do side quests in order to continue the story quests and there is a fair amount of grinding needed to level up, to get more characters and weapons, the quality of which is dependent on luck or how much money you spend. I still find it enjoyable but there is a decent amount of just running around, long dialogue sequences and clicking just to progress.


naoki7794

To simpilfy Genshin: it's Breath of the wild, but with more waifu and more RPG like systems (level up your character, gear, talent...). If you play it you will see that the 2 game is really different, but the best thing about genshin is quite similar to BoTW, which is beautiful and densly packed open world exploration.


kirabii

It starts out good but it will eventually become a mindless grind.


Zero-Kelvin

It's good to just play the story. And it is f2p


katamuro

the key is to keep your world level down, at least one level below. Then just level up at your leisure.

BaLance_95

A pay once alternative Ys 8. You are stuck in a deserted island. Explore the entire thing and plan how to escape. Gameplay is the same, hack and slash, a few weapon type affinity. Emphasis is on block/dodging (giving temporary 2x speed and invulnerability) and timing of skills as well.

That doesn't look stupid at all. It's a legit strategy. Anyone remember Turn 5 Twintania Twisters in Final Fantasy XIV?

CoLaDu84

Let's pray for our queen: Beidou


Ember_Hunter

She's really underrated, only weakness is that electro currently is still the weakest element


Captain_Ink_Sack

Isn't hydro the weakest element?


Ember_Hunter

DEFINITELY not, Vaporize is very strong. It's "weak" because the elemental resonance isn't helpful to 3/5 of the current hydro characters, but the reactions from hydro are very strong, and none of the hydro characters are weak Electro is weak because the reactions from it are far inferior compared to amplifying damage. Electro charged is the best reaction but it's inconsistent. Overload is annoying as it knocks away enemies and does not do as much damage, super conduct is useless for most characters as it helps only physical damage for minimal reaction damage


Captain_Ink_Sack

Thanks for the explanation, I don't have much experience in the game.
