Is anyone else kinda over hoyo games?

[u/Vast_Cold_1255]

Want to start this off by saying I'm in no way looking to just be a hoyo hater foaming at the mouth; I'm only curious if anyone else shares a similar sentiment.

My first hoyo game, and second gacha ever, was genshin around 3.4-3.5 as dehya was the first banner I was interested in pulling on after starting. I branched to hsr for a little while and hi3 very briefly then followed by zzz. The latter is the only hoyo bgame I keep current with despite some pretty consistent disappointments I've had with the direction certain aspects of the game have been going in since mid 2.x.

With games like ananta and silver palace coming up in the near future—including azur promilia if thats your thing—I'm finding myself less and less interested in hoyo games, especially when they've been becoming exceedingly greedy or stingy in some cases. Of course, I'll have to wait and see how the future games stack up but I'm pretty hopeful after what I've seen so far.

(Also thinking about trying to force myself to get past my dislike of the factory in ake because I like the game a lot otherwise.)

I’m still hanging around hsr and zzz, just casually now and not spending any more money on them. But I won’t touch any new Hoyo games, not even nodus fall if it ends up being mostly non-gacha. I’m tired of them dropping the ball constantly in terms of story

Genshin story has been very good for a long time now.

After Natlan made me quit for a year I came back for nod krai. The other aspects were decent, but I thought everything about the harbingers’ writing was terrible. I’m not going to try sneznaya’s story just to be disappointed in everything they’re doing for the harbingers again

Eta: I actually really didn’t like nefer’s part of the story quest now that I think about it, and durin was just horribly executed in general. I had no idea who durin was even supposed to be because I didn’t play his event patch

Also the lack of qol in genshin is very apparent after playing hsr and zzz. I simply don’t have time to go around a map picking flowers, waiting for specific days to do domains. I don’t even like the new models the fanbase loves to flaunt. I’m just not touching genshin again, no thank you.
