I feel like the combat and overall movement feel better than in Genshin. Gliding, moving around, jumping, climbing... It all just feels better than Genshin to me.

Dodge slow-mo and counterattack are also neat.

Yeah on kb/m I'm very happy with the controls.

I think on mobile I'm going to be twice as frustrated when the content gets harder though. Need a Zhongli so I can facetank shit and spam stuff.

no problems here playing on pc with a ps5 controller quickly swapped to JP
writing looks a bit stiff but not bad combat is as good as i expected from kruo built in parrying is nice unlike in PGR where it was locked behind certain modes

Runs perfect fine on iPad pro. Controls are playable because the combat is easy to begin with, but i think a controller is needed once it starts getting more difficult (haven't run into anything yet that isn't incredibly easy though- so possible the game doesn't hit that difficulty)

bailing on the ipad version for now, perf was good for me but the controls are not great. Opened the chat box by mistake more times than I care for

I have the pretty much latest ipad pro and it looks ugly as hell
It's gonna look even worse on my laptop but I'll take it over no controller

Really disappointing when you would think mobile would be their priority

Ah I have a 9th gen iPad.

Hardly cutting edge now but if an iPad Pro isn't setting the world on fire then I have zero chance lol.

And yeah so far the VA sound bored.

Redownloading on PC now and goin to sleep, if they could fix the IOS one and add controller support before I wake up that would be nice
Really bad first impression, will give it a fair shake tomorrow if my laptop doesn't set on fire

on ROG Ally, 20W, mostly Medium settings

able to get 50-60fps in the tutorial area but tons of stuttering when moving around. not great. really impacts how fluid the combat (should) feel

Hey 240 resin or whatever the stamina energy is called in this game, I'm guessing refresh rate of stamina is similar to HSR.

I only have minimal stutters on my end. Maybe DLSS cards fare a lot better? Sucks for others though hope they get that fixed soon. Yeah VA isn't great so far, not all of them are bad but YangYang and Chixia are going to take up a lot of screen time and those two aren't great. I really like the combat and exploration so far.

Loving the game so far but man the english VA is weak. Yangyang sounds like an Alien pretending to be human.

I do like what I see so far. Hoping controller support on Mobile gets in soon since I would prefer to play on my iPad while doing other stuff on my PC.

The new M4 iPad Pro absolutely *annihilates* this game. Max everything says I'm pushing it too hard… but an hour of play only dropped me like 10% and it barely even warmed up.

Shame, then, that there is neither a 120hz option or something higher resolution… even at max settings game has pretty awful IQ on iOS.

The story/world are tough to get into from the start. Is there some summary I can read somewhere about what is even going on?

Combat is definitely the redeeming factor so far.

Yep, I think it's worse because you're so close to the pristine screen and the game looks like mud
At a distance it might look ok but if I have to be close enough to have my filthy paws on screen you really see the warts

Oh no, do tell. I've just started and plan to reroll at least a couple times. What am I in store for?
Not actually as bad as I thought once skipping cutscenes and zooming through the starting quests. About 25 mins?

It's still not something I'd recommend as I've only done a couple runs now and it's kinda grueling. I'm just married to the idea of getting the best possible start because I won't be spending money outside of the daily pass once I'm up and running.

It also depends on your goal. Going for the limited character is insanity. Going for the non-beginner standard banner is slightly more sane so you can guarantee yourself 3 standard 5*s. Although your second has the risk of being a dupe.

Lastly you can throw it all at the beginner banner to try and see what you're first guaranteed 5* will be and whether you want to try again. You get 30 tries per re-roll so this isn't as painful as the other two but the reward isn't as big.

Help me.

I doubt I'll stick with this long term but Yuanwu being fine as fck and free is a nice incentive to play for a bit

Played up until you can summon characters. Not bad so far. Runs ok on my phone so atleast doing dailies and event stuff until the ps5 version should be ok but man open world exploration on a phone with touch controls is just not great

Just started and the first thing I noticed, is there no option for inverse camera controls? I really struggle with games where I cannot change the camera to inverse, my brain just does not work without it.

It's insane just how much more fun exploration is when you can run up walls and air dodge.

Also, does the voice audio sound muffled for anyone else?

Yeah I just got to it and it was a while, but I imagine with skipping cutscenes it's not bad. I'm keeping low expectations, my only goal is to get one of a couple of the standard 5 stars from the beginner banner so I get 2 I like when factoring in the one we get of our choice. It shouldn't take that many rolls to-

Oh, my first account, the second 10 roll on the beginner banner got an early Verina. She was on my to get list, and early, awesome. I'm set, no re rolling for me. Good luck! What's your goal, and how many rerolls can you see yourself doing?

Does it support dualsense edge correctly? the buttons are annoyingly swapped around by default on so many pc games.

got to the gatcha and then the event tab opening up

kinda rushed it due to be very tired.

meh so far but again I am very tired, Eng VA is rough. And for the people who hates Hoyo's word salad of new made up terms...they will be in pain here.
Off the next two days so I will get into it more when I am not dead tired lol.

Eng VA is very rough, subtitles don't match sometimes. Needed more time in the cooker for that.

Combat and Pokemon catching is interesting and fun

I'm stopping now, if I return tomorrow I will skip the story... too much dialog, it's excruciating.

Enjoying the tutorial so far but no inverse camera controls are really making me struggle, I have never played a game without it, I keep moving the camera in the wrong direction. Man this is sad, this is the one feature I always need in a game.

what weapon is the best to choose in the 4 star weapon chest we get in the pre-reg rewards, or are all good?

Also, what 5 star weapon to chose in the selection banner?

The stuttering is really bizarre. Is the Vsync broken? Its like the screen breaks in half diagonally.

edit: also the games inner resolution doesnt actually match my OS or what I selected? This is really strange.

Downloaded this on my iPhone for now as can't access my PC. How hard is the gameplay with touch controls?
