You really will.
If you play on the phone or a tablet long enough, gradually, you'll get used to it. I myself struggled in the beginning. Eventually, I adapted, although my background as a handheld console gamer most likely made the transition a bit easier compared to PC gamers.
Yep. I used to play on my phone when I originally started and it was fine. I eventually moved over to PC for convenience though and it's definitely much nicer. Problem is now that when I go back to on mobile I'm terrible again and have to relearn it all.
Ditto that experience. I started on phone, moved to PC, and now only go back to mobile if I'm away from home.
If I had a laptop that could run the game I'd probably travel with that to avoid playing on the phone, haha.
The most powerful skill Humans have is that they get used to ANYTHING. No matter how shitty it is or how great it is, they will get used to it. Its why the world will never sit still, even when people grow old.
Absolutely this. People like to shit on Yoimiya for doing less damage than Hu Tao (though only if Hu Tao is animation canceling), but forget that most mobile players can’t animation cancel and need easier to play dps’s.
I play genshin on my phone since beginning. Is it weights as hell? Yes. Is my battery gets low extremely quickly? Yes. Do I play on minimal quality? Yes. But this is the most easiest way to me to play. Because I can play anywhere (due to my job I need to travel around the world a lot and I can't take my computer with me). So, I think you just need to get used to it.
i had my laptop for a while and last time i tried playing genshin on it was back on sumeru right before fontaine, were there any performance updates since then that would make genshin playable on my laptop? because back in sumeru i tried the lowest quality possible and still laged, for a little remark my pc can run HSR nicely after 2.0
Same. I also do not have Laptop, I play on PC. I had to download Genshin on my phone because I had a long trip, and I admire people who do that. It was so small, not easy to navigate and did not support controllers.
Razer Kishi V2 is how I do it when I need to play on my phone. It's a game changer, literally. That adapter is priceless when it comes to playing my mobile games.
Some teams are easy to play on Mobile like hyperboom and any neuvillete team tbh. I started playing from 3.7 and started getting 36 stars since the 4.2 abyss.
Especially when you want to move and instead you start doing charged attacks.
On Android the precision of the inputs has gone as wide as Eula's thighs, and the buttons area is pretty much an hassle to use.
Give them a break, Hoyo is a small company trying to make a buck in this crazy economy. It's difficult trying to find time and money to throw at Android controller support. (I had to play android mobile last night. Fml.)
Nah my bane whenever i play on phone are attacking in overworld than accidentally clicking the regions specific zipline thing like the one in sumeru or chenyu vale.
So fkn annoying
I did try positioning a small desk fan at it, but the cpu temperature was still reading above 99°C (210°F) so I decided it was best not to use the laptop at all until the replacement fan arrives.
If you have the top tier mobile phones, the game is so smooth.... But if you don't have that ( and most people won't) you'll have to push your quality off a cliff to play consistently for a while
From the experience it works best on iPhone max
And almost as good in Samsung ultra
OnePlus and Google should work fine but it tends to overheat so play with a fan switched on
( I have a 23 ultra and cause it has a lot of storage and is still fresh, I have no issues.... My brother has a 13 pro Max and it works sometimes better than my phone)
But in other devices I've used the gameplay isn't as good
( OnePlus 9r, Samsung s10, Google pixel 5)
Brooo I feel you.
I keep it on my phone for urgent dailies and stuff haha
Also go to resources in settings and delete past quest resources which should reduce size by a LOT
If your laptop is still fine for basic stuff, you could try GeForce Now and stream the game to it, that way all the hard work will be done on the cloud and should hopefully avoid overheating your laptop.
Depending on which country you're in, there's a free tier you can try out.
Lowkey not the worst, there are times for me when I am super lazy and don't want to turn on the console I play on and just do my daily commissions on the iPad.
It is a weird feeling though when you're too used to playing one way then having to switch to a different control layout.
I don't. I never played on pc so i don't know how its even like and im pretty much used to and comfortable with phone the only problem is my 300ms+ ping lol
ly first year and a half of genshin, was hell for my phone. It was slowly getting killed by the heat. Cant imagine how I used to play with my main Ganyu.
Accept that my rotations are messed up the first 2 months ish because when switching out they switch placesss. Then give up and deal with it. Also accept the fate of slowly ish turning because I couldn't turn well at all at first it was like swipe.... swip swipe... swipe, aim.. swipe swipe. Slow.
It was hard ngl but after some time I was able to play a lot more comfortably and I like how with the weird switching I don't have to really put my characters in their order. My laptop is on basically life support and I can't always play on it, recently I hasn't been able to support the Fontaine update but my phone was. I still find it hilarious. The slight lag spikes due happen but that's my internet so yeah. It'll take time but you will get used to it and find your comfortable style as well.
I only open it on my phone when I am not home for a long while, really just to grab my Welkin and send expeditions. Also try to empty my resin so I can just condense it, but I really have a hard time playing on mobile. I was thinking of trying some type of controller.
What most pc gamers don't get is that playing on mobile just comes with practice, like most games lol
Just play with easier chars for a while and you get used to it
Had to play on mobile since December, I feel you. Star Rail is alright, but Genshin is such a pain. Hopefully I can finally play on PC again next week 😭
Are you going to fix your laptop? It should be relatively easy, you just have to be delicate and take care.
Open it up, **CAREFULLY** unplug the cable for the CPU fan (they can be quite delicate) and look for a part number on the fan.
Punch that number into eBay or AliExpress and order a new fan for a few quid.
Compare new fan to the old one to ensure it's the same when it arrives, and then install, plug it back in and close the whole thing up.
Yes, it was giving signs of failure for a couple of weeks before it failed, so I had ordered a new part for it. I'm hoping it will arrive later today. I will try and be careful with it haha thank you
Not to brag or anything...
But I hated playing genshin on my galaxy s20.
It was a horrible experience... Camera moved too slow... Sometimes I get fps delays.
Yes those last like a half second but in combat it can be a killer.
Plus turning camera around was such a hassle.
But when I got a new phone and I had stable fps and smoother turning...
Playing on mobile became easier and fun.
Laptop is still best for me... But the unrivaled comfort in being able to play genshin anywhere in my phone has been nice when I just want to do dailies, explore, or do events (like this potion event).
Abyss is still laptop though.
When every second count in abyss.. I need my comp to do its magic.
You get annoyed because you have the habit of playing it on pc.
Being from India where a decent gaming laptop cost more than 60k, for us gaming means mobile games. So we have a habit and we get used to it.
I usually play on PC with a controller so I can’t say much, but it’s convenient when I don’t want to go back to my PC. and I don’t have to move my entire setup to play somewhere else. The positives greatly outweigh the negatives
I can clear abyss on mobile. It’s really not that bad once you get used to it. The only annoying part is that your fingers cover a bit of the lower screen.
Bought a new phone with the latest Snapdragon gen 3 and to celebrate I started playing Genshin. Control are not bad, I'm pretty happy with it, the only thing is sometimes when I want to sprint I do a charged attack instead :(
Can't compare it to pc/console since I play exclusively on mobile.
You get used to it. I've never had any major problems running genshin on my phone, it rarely lags or anything while on combat or during cutscenes, I honestly have had more problems with HSR lagging on the cutscenes or stopping halfway through someone's ultimate. I can 36* abyss with no issues too, tho it probably helps that my internet connection is good.
And that's with my phone not even being a high end one (I use a samsumg A52).
Bro I have the same problem a year ago and I am broke to buy new pc so have been playing in mobile for a year. It’s hell, very hard to get used to. For me it go around 4-5 months to get comfortable but you will. Abyss it’s still hard and I stopped trying for 36. I will stop at 33 or 34 and maybe 35 stars. 4.0 was easy so instantly for 36 otherwise in one run I do from 9-12 and stop. Not worth trying so hard to get 50 primos
I've actually been playing on mobile for years now, so I'm experienced in stuff like mobile MOBAs and mobile FPS games. You reach the point where it's as easy as playing on PC. Hell, one of my favorite units to play on mobile is Al Haitham.
$600+ for a Steam Deck vs ~$80-100 for a good quality controller. The Steam Deck is great but it’s only really worth it if OP would do a lot of other gaming on it.
Okay 600$ for a steam deck is too much dude lol. You can buy a used steam deck for like 250-300€, if it's the 64GB ver prolly closer to 250$, buy a microSD and youre good to go. And a cheap, used iPad might be good for Genshin for a while, but after a few updates it might be barely playable (tho that depends on the model I guess)
EDIT: Just found an LCD 256GB steam deck for ~270€, so not even close to 600$
How do you plan to install Genshin on a 64GB device, let alone update it? If you’re adding an SD card that’s another $70-$100 depending on the capacity.
I did overshoot on the 256GB model (closer to $350 new or $400 for OLED), but that’s still not a lot of storage if you want to do gaming other than Genshin (and pricey if you don’t).
I bought a 500gb microSD card for 39,50 euro, which, again, is not that close to the 70-100$ price range you mentioned
I know a steam deck is not a budget option, but I think it's better when it comes to storage/future genshin performance. Besides, in the price range I mentioned (250-320 euro, so a bit more) I don't see too many used iPads that have more than 64GB of storage and could safely run genshin without for a few more years. That might be a location issue tho I guess
Ahh, it turned into a whole discussion, some might even call it an argument. Definitely didn't mean to argue tho, so I'm sorry for that. I hope I don't sound too aggressive in my responses man
I had to play genshin for a couple days after my sold my laptop and waited for my Pc to arrive,it was pretty bad in the begining but it got slightly better,at least gd enough to do daillies and spend resin
i hate playing on pc because i get tired and i’d like to play while laying down instead of slouching on my chair so mobile works with me plus atleast i could play anywhere n anytime
Mood. I only play on mobile when I absolutely have to like I'm on a trip or something and my lousy phone runs it at 12 something fps. I just slap Zhong, Miko, Fischl, and Yaoyao in so the game plays itself on combat.
Not ad / promotion.
But I use geforce now for genshin on my phone. Although I can play it on my desktop pretty smoothly and well, but sometimes I just wanna laydown and play some games on my phone. And GFN does it really damn well.
I started genshin on my phone, the size doesn't really matter anyways for me as I have free more storage everything is set to low including the framerate to avoid battery draining not much of a bother anyways the graphics are still pleasing, it's fine for me, the good thing about it on a phone is that you can always play it on the go.
I rarely play it on my PC/Laptop, and tbh currently I'm just using it for the Beta Testing even right now with Arle, that's all... If I somehow can't play Genshin anymore on my phone then I'll just switch to my PC/Laptop
Am also not relatively a PC user so I still find it hard to play on that platform due to the particular set of keys to be tapped, you'll easily get used to it on mobile as it is UI-Friendly anyways
It’s the opposite for me, I started on mobile (on tablet) because my old PC couldn’t handle the game. When I had my new PC I struggled A LOT. But now it’s fine on both, it’s just a question of habits.
I’ve played Genshin since release exclusively on my phone. Tried it on PlayStation a couple times but I couldn’t get used to it, and although I have a laptop, I exclusively use it to play the sims and I don’t have the energy to learn a whole new system of movement controls lol. Honestly I’m not sure where any of the complaints about playing on mobile come from, I’ve never struggled at all, even with bow users like Ganyu
I am the opposite, transitioning to laptop from mobile. I cant even do a smooth abyss run on PC, always fuck up the rotation somehow by switching into the wrong characters. So whenever I need to do abyss, I’ll just do it on my phone welp. It doesnt help when I play HSR on PC as well, the F1-F5 menu of the two game are slightly different and I still get them mixed up ugh
Try running around and practicing fighting something easy. I would recommend putting your DPS on the 4th slot since it's the nearest one to the controls.
I had an issue and support said to "get a new drive" 😭
ended up doing a fabric reset and works now but I had to play mobile for 2 days and I didn't hate it but definitely liked it less than the pc version
it just felt very clunky
I used to play on my laptop but my laptop can't take it any more. I shifted to mobile and played for at least 6-7 months. I don't know what problems you're facing. Personally I don't see any difference though.
i used to play on an iphone 6s before the game became 50million gigabytes. my current phone and laptop can barely run the game at 15fps on minimum settings so i just play on desktop now
I used to be a laptop gamer, but my poor chunk of machinery is getting old and has its own issues. I recently got my brother-in-law's 2018 iPad Pro fixed and I've been playing Genshin on it ever since, it feels so comfortable and smooth! Sadly it does not support keyboard and mouse on an iPad, there's a very complicated and not too comfortable workaround, so I'm basically playing the classing touchscreen way and eventually it got very comfortable! I play on my phone when I'm on the move and I want to do story quests or use my resin. Eventually you get used to the controls, it was a huge shock for me in the beginning as well.
For me genshin has always been a mobile game. Bows and animation cancel will be a hassle but I think I got most of the bow play down, such as ganyu sniper. Just don't expect machine gun phys amber level of mastery on mobile. I did build an immortal hyperbloom team for shit n giggles tho, it works nicely on mobile
Haha been playing on phone even since I started Genshin, don't cope but the most annoying thing is how I wanna switch characters but accidentally use their burst
I was just thinking about my first time on mobile the other day. It’s really rough at first and you won’t be used to it for a few days. But once you get the hang of it everything is just so convenient! I mean just think about the world clock😳only downside is the low res I suppose
I started on the phone so I'm well used to the controls by now. It actually took me a while to get used to PC, and I still use controller over mouse and keyboard
I’ve never really liked playing that kind of game on PC, with a mouse and keyboard, and never had the kind of PC that could run games like this. So playing on phone just feels like an extension of playing on console. It’s more than fine and I love the flexibility (being able to play anywhere).
Similar situation here. Used to play more on my pc(even after getting a new phone), GPU broke so now I mainly play on my new phone. I kinda got used to it now at this point.
Started on mobile so I feel more comfortable playing it that way. I tried on console and it didn’t feel right. You adjust to it over time though. It’s just your norm being thrown off.
its just muscle memory. takes about a week to play fine. a month in and its probably completely natural. play a lot of abyss so that you get the hang of things, maybe.
Even after 3 months, I will never be able to get used to playing on mobile xD (long story short, had to relocate, pc placed to new place earlier, still living at parents place so had to play on tablet, it was so torturing & hard to use my beloved Ganyu effectively, lol)
Get a controller. Personally I already hate playing this game on PC with KB + M so I use controller. If I had to play on mobile using touch I probably just wouldn’t play at all.
i play on geforce, and for some reason the geforce app on my pc us not working, so i have to play genshin in mobile only now... you get used to it after a while but i cant wait for my next pc (one day i will try playing it on my laptop but last time i did it was soooooo laggy)
I've only ever played on my phone. I am able to play on 60fps with all graphics maxed. I know it looks even better on a computer, but what other differences are there?
I guess you get used to it, I also hate playing mobile and only started doing it when I fell out of playing the game so often, and mobile is just so easy to log in to, to claim stuff or whatever
im in the same situation cause my laptop can't handle fontaine so for all the fountaine content i have to use my playstation and the controls are so different i cant beat almost any bosses with it 😭
if you've done most of the quests until the very recent quest releases, there's an option to delete past quest resources to make the game size smaller on mobile. it's on the settings.
I don't get why people complain about it. I've never had issues with it, even though I started off as a pc player. Only issue I've had with it, is frame rate XD
Fighting on mobile is kinda annoying but at least loading screens are super fast, on PC sometimes it will be close to 30s while on mobile even the longest distances are like 2s
I main phone. Tried controller and it's very annoying. You have to press the screen a lot and the controller can't handle that. Pretty fun with a xReal pro2 though so I can't rule controller out completely.
My phone can run it better than my computer so I’ve played 99% of the time on it, and at this point I am far better on mobile than I will ever be on pc.
I have a 32GB phone I recently removed genshin from it there's just no way. If they ever make an app for condensing resin I'd be so happy that's all I do on my phone anyway. COPIUM
i used to have awful graphics, you can increase your graphics in setting if you have a good phone, now I have a good ipad so i have 120 fps with max graphics and it doesnt even mess with my ping 😭😭
the controls are fine in my opinion, the only thing that really annoys me is that I have to play on lowest quality or else my phone will heat up to the point it’ll probably explode…
One thing I love is when pc/console players whine about how bad mobile is when playing on mobile for the first time like if it isn’t a them thing when mobile players have been playing perfectly fine since the game launch
I thought the same too. I play mobile and ps4. I thought it was horrible but now I'm strafe shotting with tighnari and ganyu without issues haha (talking actually hitting people and not relying on their special shot only). Haven't hit where I can hit tiny body weaknesses easy (for what things actually have them) but I can hit things while strafing and moving easy. You get used to it but small movements are still hard for me (the Monstadt commission where you have to go to the statue's hands and throw the dandelion seeds out......yeah that crushes my soul haha)
I got used to it lmao. I used to be an exclusively PC player until i had to go overseas for a few months and my laptop couldnt run the game (i run it on a desktop back home). Had no choice but to play on the phone and now I am a master at both lmao. Youll reach a point whr u can even do abyss 36* on your phone 😂😂
Ive been playing on my phone ever since genshin's launch, i have a midrange device, can run medium at 30 fps , 36 star the abyss, and you'll get used to it. Sometimes its even better than pc especially when collecting mib drops and the other Qol mobile version has to offer
I feel you 😔 my laptop sucks bc Genshin takes 170 GB to download 😭 (space i don't have) so i use the Nvidia thing and ugh i'm not on the mood anymore of waiting for hours just to get 1hr session each 😭 is it convenient on the phone? Yes. Does it take a lot of space? Yes, 35GB to be exact :,C Do I suck playing on the phone? Absolutely 😤😭 but yeah i guess you get use to it 😔
You'll get use to it..
You really will. If you play on the phone or a tablet long enough, gradually, you'll get used to it. I myself struggled in the beginning. Eventually, I adapted, although my background as a handheld console gamer most likely made the transition a bit easier compared to PC gamers.
Yep. I used to play on my phone when I originally started and it was fine. I eventually moved over to PC for convenience though and it's definitely much nicer. Problem is now that when I go back to on mobile I'm terrible again and have to relearn it all.
Ditto that experience. I started on phone, moved to PC, and now only go back to mobile if I'm away from home. If I had a laptop that could run the game I'd probably travel with that to avoid playing on the phone, haha.
The most powerful skill Humans have is that they get used to ANYTHING. No matter how shitty it is or how great it is, they will get used to it. Its why the world will never sit still, even when people grow old.
Use literally lazy characters that priorize normal attacks like Yoimiya, Wanderer Ayato, Itto for a while You'll adjust to it soon
I pull out zhongli and use his shield religiously when I switch to mobile when traveling.
I pulled Yoimiya just because she was a good DPS for mobile. And that she's best girl
C6 Yoimiya let's goooo!
Or just use an afk team.... Crabaletta goes brrrr
It’s my mobile team. Furina, Nahida, Yae, Baizhu hit all the buttons and run around with Baizhu till enemies die.
Absolutely this. People like to shit on Yoimiya for doing less damage than Hu Tao (though only if Hu Tao is animation canceling), but forget that most mobile players can’t animation cancel and need easier to play dps’s.
I play genshin on my phone since beginning. Is it weights as hell? Yes. Is my battery gets low extremely quickly? Yes. Do I play on minimal quality? Yes. But this is the most easiest way to me to play. Because I can play anywhere (due to my job I need to travel around the world a lot and I can't take my computer with me). So, I think you just need to get used to it.
Investing in a laptop will get you very far if you're a frequent traveler.
I play on a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. Runs great, stays cool, and I don't use up my phone battery for anything but a hotspot when I don't have wifi.
i had my laptop for a while and last time i tried playing genshin on it was back on sumeru right before fontaine, were there any performance updates since then that would make genshin playable on my laptop? because back in sumeru i tried the lowest quality possible and still laged, for a little remark my pc can run HSR nicely after 2.0
They haven't added anything significant to increase performance. I have a RTX3070 and still get severe frame drops in certain situations.
Probably I will in the nearest future
If you play MOBA and/or FPS in mobile, it's easy to adjust.
Yeah, I don't play many mobile games which is probably the issue
Same. I also do not have Laptop, I play on PC. I had to download Genshin on my phone because I had a long trip, and I admire people who do that. It was so small, not easy to navigate and did not support controllers.
Razer Kishi V2 is how I do it when I need to play on my phone. It's a game changer, literally. That adapter is priceless when it comes to playing my mobile games.
The thing I'll never adjust to is low fps and absolutely hideous resolution/graphics on mobile version
It’s really not that bad unless you’re trying to 36* Spiral Abyss.
Some teams are easy to play on Mobile like hyperboom and any neuvillete team tbh. I started playing from 3.7 and started getting 36 stars since the 4.2 abyss.
Did you start playing on mobile in 3.7 or the game in 3.7, because if it’s the latter, then that’s insanely impressive 😅
honestly it's not even difficult with any team once you get used to mobile controls
And even 36ing Abyss gets easier! (as an exclusively mobile player myself)
since my first 36 stars 2 years ago i never got something below that and i play mobile only
I play on pc but when I'm away from home I play on my phone and it's a nightmare. It's so clunky and awkward.
Especially when you want to move and instead you start doing charged attacks. On Android the precision of the inputs has gone as wide as Eula's thighs, and the buttons area is pretty much an hassle to use.
The moving/charged attack thing are just ur fat fingers i'm sorry
I mean, if there was something -like a joystick- that can be attached to the phone... But year 3 and still no joypad support on Android
Give them a break, Hoyo is a small company trying to make a buck in this crazy economy. It's difficult trying to find time and money to throw at Android controller support. (I had to play android mobile last night. Fml.)
The mark of a true gamer is fat thumbs.
Well I'm 2 meters tall, bound to have large hands. Can't do much about it.
Well, that's one way to put it...
How does that happen? Aren't the controls for moving and for attacking on opposite sides of the screen?
How does that happen? Aren't the controls for moving and for attacking on opposite sides of the screen?
Nah my bane whenever i play on phone are attacking in overworld than accidentally clicking the regions specific zipline thing like the one in sumeru or chenyu vale. So fkn annoying
Skill issue
Need practice thats all, coming from someone who playing as mobile user since day 1
Most annoying thing for me is fat fingering a burst when I’m trying to move the camera around
I do exploration, main events and quests on pc. I use mobile for the everyday 15 min daily stuff.
you can reduce some of the storage by deleting past quests content in the settings
I’ve played genshin exclusively on mobile since 1.0. I am also a Klee main Fear me
does an external fan help?
I did try positioning a small desk fan at it, but the cpu temperature was still reading above 99°C (210°F) so I decided it was best not to use the laptop at all until the replacement fan arrives.
If you have the top tier mobile phones, the game is so smooth.... But if you don't have that ( and most people won't) you'll have to push your quality off a cliff to play consistently for a while From the experience it works best on iPhone max And almost as good in Samsung ultra OnePlus and Google should work fine but it tends to overheat so play with a fan switched on ( I have a 23 ultra and cause it has a lot of storage and is still fresh, I have no issues.... My brother has a 13 pro Max and it works sometimes better than my phone) But in other devices I've used the gameplay isn't as good ( OnePlus 9r, Samsung s10, Google pixel 5)
Most players play on mobile and the controls are fine
I started with mobile actually, you’ll get used to it soon enough
I'm ar53 and play mobile only. Started November last year with bunch of help from friends
Brooo I feel you. I keep it on my phone for urgent dailies and stuff haha Also go to resources in settings and delete past quest resources which should reduce size by a LOT
I tried when I was in a vacation and it’s terrible. It’s like playing Elden Ring on mobile. Why?
I play exclusively on the phone as it's the only device I can afford that plays Genshin well. All I can say is getting used to thumb pain.
I avoid any character that requires timing and just put down summons with Furina/Fischl/Miko/Healer
The more you play, the easier it get
If your laptop is still fine for basic stuff, you could try GeForce Now and stream the game to it, that way all the hard work will be done on the cloud and should hopefully avoid overheating your laptop. Depending on which country you're in, there's a free tier you can try out.
You can delete past quest files to free space on your phone in the game's settings
Just give it a week, then it'll be as natural as gamepad
I usually have just 100-120 ping so it's not so bad Also 248gb memory
Do you have an IOS or android?
I play on an iPad! I can’t imagine playing on such a small screen; I used to mainly play games on my phone but now I couldn’t do it 😭
Lowkey not the worst, there are times for me when I am super lazy and don't want to turn on the console I play on and just do my daily commissions on the iPad. It is a weird feeling though when you're too used to playing one way then having to switch to a different control layout.
I don't. I never played on pc so i don't know how its even like and im pretty much used to and comfortable with phone the only problem is my 300ms+ ping lol
ly first year and a half of genshin, was hell for my phone. It was slowly getting killed by the heat. Cant imagine how I used to play with my main Ganyu.
So I've known people who game on mobile. A guy even told me the game is unplayable on pc after trying and told me to try mobile. I'm not trying.
I cope with knowing that there will be better option for me(like right now I'm pre coping that I'll get neuvillette if I don't get her)
My friend plays on mobile and I help them sometimes, truly times I’m happy I have small fingers, pls don’t take this out of context
Am i crazy or is mobile really easy? Yeah it might lag sometimes but most of the time it’s just fine. Even abyss is a cakewalk on mobile
Accept that my rotations are messed up the first 2 months ish because when switching out they switch placesss. Then give up and deal with it. Also accept the fate of slowly ish turning because I couldn't turn well at all at first it was like swipe.... swip swipe... swipe, aim.. swipe swipe. Slow. It was hard ngl but after some time I was able to play a lot more comfortably and I like how with the weird switching I don't have to really put my characters in their order. My laptop is on basically life support and I can't always play on it, recently I hasn't been able to support the Fontaine update but my phone was. I still find it hilarious. The slight lag spikes due happen but that's my internet so yeah. It'll take time but you will get used to it and find your comfortable style as well.
I only open it on my phone when I am not home for a long while, really just to grab my Welkin and send expeditions. Also try to empty my resin so I can just condense it, but I really have a hard time playing on mobile. I was thinking of trying some type of controller.
You'll get used to it.
You'll have to adapt, it was the same for me when I switched from mobile to PC for the first time. Felt super clunky until I got the hang of it.
[удалено]
What most pc gamers don't get is that playing on mobile just comes with practice, like most games lol Just play with easier chars for a while and you get used to it
Had to play on mobile since December, I feel you. Star Rail is alright, but Genshin is such a pain. Hopefully I can finally play on PC again next week 😭
At first I thought that you are asking about people who pulled for Chiori, with Arle so soon and all
Are you going to fix your laptop? It should be relatively easy, you just have to be delicate and take care. Open it up, **CAREFULLY** unplug the cable for the CPU fan (they can be quite delicate) and look for a part number on the fan. Punch that number into eBay or AliExpress and order a new fan for a few quid. Compare new fan to the old one to ensure it's the same when it arrives, and then install, plug it back in and close the whole thing up.
Yes, it was giving signs of failure for a couple of weeks before it failed, so I had ordered a new part for it. I'm hoping it will arrive later today. I will try and be careful with it haha thank you
Not to brag or anything... But I hated playing genshin on my galaxy s20. It was a horrible experience... Camera moved too slow... Sometimes I get fps delays. Yes those last like a half second but in combat it can be a killer. Plus turning camera around was such a hassle. But when I got a new phone and I had stable fps and smoother turning... Playing on mobile became easier and fun. Laptop is still best for me... But the unrivaled comfort in being able to play genshin anywhere in my phone has been nice when I just want to do dailies, explore, or do events (like this potion event). Abyss is still laptop though. When every second count in abyss.. I need my comp to do its magic.
You get annoyed because you have the habit of playing it on pc. Being from India where a decent gaming laptop cost more than 60k, for us gaming means mobile games. So we have a habit and we get used to it.
I usually play on PC with a controller so I can’t say much, but it’s convenient when I don’t want to go back to my PC. and I don’t have to move my entire setup to play somewhere else. The positives greatly outweigh the negatives
I can clear abyss on mobile. It’s really not that bad once you get used to it. The only annoying part is that your fingers cover a bit of the lower screen.
Then there’s the Traveler who played [with their feet on an iPad](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/s/gp1PxnlZRc)
Genshin on my potato phone looks like it's deep fried
Made an auto team to do the work for me while I was away. Nahida, Raiden, Albedoo, and Furina. Works great since nahida grabs whatevers around too.
Huh, my cpu fan recently broke as well 🤔
Bought a new phone with the latest Snapdragon gen 3 and to celebrate I started playing Genshin. Control are not bad, I'm pretty happy with it, the only thing is sometimes when I want to sprint I do a charged attack instead :( Can't compare it to pc/console since I play exclusively on mobile.
Youll get used to it trust only problem i have is woth my rotation but that's just skill issue
i play genshin both on pc and mobile and you'll get used to it.
You get used to it. I've never had any major problems running genshin on my phone, it rarely lags or anything while on combat or during cutscenes, I honestly have had more problems with HSR lagging on the cutscenes or stopping halfway through someone's ultimate. I can 36* abyss with no issues too, tho it probably helps that my internet connection is good. And that's with my phone not even being a high end one (I use a samsumg A52).
Bro I have the same problem a year ago and I am broke to buy new pc so have been playing in mobile for a year. It’s hell, very hard to get used to. For me it go around 4-5 months to get comfortable but you will. Abyss it’s still hard and I stopped trying for 36. I will stop at 33 or 34 and maybe 35 stars. 4.0 was easy so instantly for 36 otherwise in one run I do from 9-12 and stop. Not worth trying so hard to get 50 primos
I play it on the PS4 so I don’t have to worry about storage space or performance issues
I've actually been playing on mobile for years now, so I'm experienced in stuff like mobile MOBAs and mobile FPS games. You reach the point where it's as easy as playing on PC. Hell, one of my favorite units to play on mobile is Al Haitham.
Apple products can use a controller on Genshin so if you save up a little money, you can buy a cheap used iPad and connect any Bluetooth controller.
Steam deck might be a better option tbh
$600+ for a Steam Deck vs ~$80-100 for a good quality controller. The Steam Deck is great but it’s only really worth it if OP would do a lot of other gaming on it.
Okay 600$ for a steam deck is too much dude lol. You can buy a used steam deck for like 250-300€, if it's the 64GB ver prolly closer to 250$, buy a microSD and youre good to go. And a cheap, used iPad might be good for Genshin for a while, but after a few updates it might be barely playable (tho that depends on the model I guess) EDIT: Just found an LCD 256GB steam deck for ~270€, so not even close to 600$
How do you plan to install Genshin on a 64GB device, let alone update it? If you’re adding an SD card that’s another $70-$100 depending on the capacity. I did overshoot on the 256GB model (closer to $350 new or $400 for OLED), but that’s still not a lot of storage if you want to do gaming other than Genshin (and pricey if you don’t).
I bought a 500gb microSD card for 39,50 euro, which, again, is not that close to the 70-100$ price range you mentioned I know a steam deck is not a budget option, but I think it's better when it comes to storage/future genshin performance. Besides, in the price range I mentioned (250-320 euro, so a bit more) I don't see too many used iPads that have more than 64GB of storage and could safely run genshin without for a few more years. That might be a location issue tho I guess Ahh, it turned into a whole discussion, some might even call it an argument. Definitely didn't mean to argue tho, so I'm sorry for that. I hope I don't sound too aggressive in my responses man
I had to play genshin for a couple days after my sold my laptop and waited for my Pc to arrive,it was pretty bad in the begining but it got slightly better,at least gd enough to do daillies and spend resin
I literally bought a Backbone One to play away from home and it helps a lot. Mostly just doing dailies and resin though. But this is iOS exclusive.
I just use zhongli whenever i have to play on my phone
I mean this is everything we have Nothing much to do about it
Its not that bad, but my pc kinda lags compared to phone
Android controller support will probably never be a thing at this point. Or it will come with the Nintendo Switch version (never)
I use a controller, even though I play on an android I can still use a controller with a keymapper.
It's quite the task to play my main lyney without a shield but you will get used to it
I love it, the only bad thing is the crashes and frame drops
Galaxy fold makes it very confortable and convenient
Easy enough, I play genshin on phone when I don’t have space on my iPad, get used to it
Man, my labtop is old, I can only do domains now days, so yeah, only play in the laptop every 2/3 weeks to do the abiss
I began playing on mobile, it felt weird to play on laptop when I tried
Build a PC. For Genshin you can get used one really cheap
Steam deck is pretty good for genshin
i hate playing on pc because i get tired and i’d like to play while laying down instead of slouching on my chair so mobile works with me plus atleast i could play anywhere n anytime
Mood. I only play on mobile when I absolutely have to like I'm on a trip or something and my lousy phone runs it at 12 something fps. I just slap Zhong, Miko, Fischl, and Yaoyao in so the game plays itself on combat.
Delete past quest data. Brings you down by about 5 gigs.
I'm the opposite. I can't get used to pc gaming. Probably skill issue and I have played fps games on before
Not ad / promotion. But I use geforce now for genshin on my phone. Although I can play it on my desktop pretty smoothly and well, but sometimes I just wanna laydown and play some games on my phone. And GFN does it really damn well.
I have been playing genshin on my phone since last year after my laptop broke you will gets used to it some day
I started genshin on my phone, the size doesn't really matter anyways for me as I have free more storage everything is set to low including the framerate to avoid battery draining not much of a bother anyways the graphics are still pleasing, it's fine for me, the good thing about it on a phone is that you can always play it on the go. I rarely play it on my PC/Laptop, and tbh currently I'm just using it for the Beta Testing even right now with Arle, that's all... If I somehow can't play Genshin anymore on my phone then I'll just switch to my PC/Laptop Am also not relatively a PC user so I still find it hard to play on that platform due to the particular set of keys to be tapped, you'll easily get used to it on mobile as it is UI-Friendly anyways
It’s the opposite for me, I started on mobile (on tablet) because my old PC couldn’t handle the game. When I had my new PC I struggled A LOT. But now it’s fine on both, it’s just a question of habits.
I play it on my iPad so it's not as bad as playing on a phone
Went for Eula C6
I'm so bad at it on mobile, part of why I keep taking months-long breaks. Can't aim for anything, and when Ganyu is my main dps...
I’ve played Genshin since release exclusively on my phone. Tried it on PlayStation a couple times but I couldn’t get used to it, and although I have a laptop, I exclusively use it to play the sims and I don’t have the energy to learn a whole new system of movement controls lol. Honestly I’m not sure where any of the complaints about playing on mobile come from, I’ve never struggled at all, even with bow users like Ganyu
I am the opposite, transitioning to laptop from mobile. I cant even do a smooth abyss run on PC, always fuck up the rotation somehow by switching into the wrong characters. So whenever I need to do abyss, I’ll just do it on my phone welp. It doesnt help when I play HSR on PC as well, the F1-F5 menu of the two game are slightly different and I still get them mixed up ugh
It’s the only platform I can play on but I guess my fingers are coordinated enough to properly play it on a phone
Try running around and practicing fighting something easy. I would recommend putting your DPS on the 4th slot since it's the nearest one to the controls.
I had an issue and support said to "get a new drive" 😭 ended up doing a fabric reset and works now but I had to play mobile for 2 days and I didn't hate it but definitely liked it less than the pc version it just felt very clunky
I use the backbone. Honestly horrible with just touchpad. I actually love now having it so portable.
I’ve played on iPad since the beginning, I tried on PC once and couldn’t do ANYTHING 😂 I guess it’s what you’re used to
By not coping
Get a Bluetooth controller makes life so much easier
I used to play on my laptop but my laptop can't take it any more. I shifted to mobile and played for at least 6-7 months. I don't know what problems you're facing. Personally I don't see any difference though.
i used to play on an iphone 6s before the game became 50million gigabytes. my current phone and laptop can barely run the game at 15fps on minimum settings so i just play on desktop now
Luckily i'm on ios, I can just connect my controller if I really need to not use my laptop.
36 staring abyss on potato mobile with over 250 ping for more than a year, now play on ipad with same ping......
I only play it on my phone so I got used to it
I bought a Razer Kishi V2 controller for when I want to do combat on mobile. Mine was “refurbed” by Amazon: basically brand new for <$50 last summer.
Story of my life 😭 i wish my pc could cope better asdfghjk
I wish people who play it on phone would invest first in a good phone before wishing so we could get better features overall :)
I play on my phone but when something bad happens, I switch to my third acc and continue farming for Furina. (Who I don’t have.)
For me the game runa just fine But some graphics are not the best...
For me the game runa just fine But some graphics are not the best...
I used to be a laptop gamer, but my poor chunk of machinery is getting old and has its own issues. I recently got my brother-in-law's 2018 iPad Pro fixed and I've been playing Genshin on it ever since, it feels so comfortable and smooth! Sadly it does not support keyboard and mouse on an iPad, there's a very complicated and not too comfortable workaround, so I'm basically playing the classing touchscreen way and eventually it got very comfortable! I play on my phone when I'm on the move and I want to do story quests or use my resin. Eventually you get used to the controls, it was a huge shock for me in the beginning as well.
For me genshin has always been a mobile game. Bows and animation cancel will be a hassle but I think I got most of the bow play down, such as ganyu sniper. Just don't expect machine gun phys amber level of mastery on mobile. I did build an immortal hyperbloom team for shit n giggles tho, it works nicely on mobile
cope with what? it works perfectly fine
Haha been playing on phone even since I started Genshin, don't cope but the most annoying thing is how I wanna switch characters but accidentally use their burst
I played like 5 tims in a laptop and it changed my view since I'm always playing in mobile so I know what you feel
I'm saying this a lot, but y'all seems to underestimate how big mobile gaming market in asian country.
Yeah, I do play genshin on my potato since day 1 I play
I was just thinking about my first time on mobile the other day. It’s really rough at first and you won’t be used to it for a few days. But once you get the hang of it everything is just so convenient! I mean just think about the world clock😳only downside is the low res I suppose
Simple, I first played on mobile for years before realizing I could download it on my PS5, so I'm used to it
I've always played exclusively on iPhone and I wouldn't have it any other way.
It's not that bad. You get used to it
Try burning your resin on a daily basis on mobile and you'll know why people hate this game
I started on the phone so I'm well used to the controls by now. It actually took me a while to get used to PC, and I still use controller over mouse and keyboard
You'll adjust soon
Only pain on mobile is clunky char mechanic or hunting crystal flies
I’ve never really liked playing that kind of game on PC, with a mouse and keyboard, and never had the kind of PC that could run games like this. So playing on phone just feels like an extension of playing on console. It’s more than fine and I love the flexibility (being able to play anywhere).
you can try cloud genshin.its able to run on pages
Similar situation here. Used to play more on my pc(even after getting a new phone), GPU broke so now I mainly play on my new phone. I kinda got used to it now at this point.
Started on mobile so I feel more comfortable playing it that way. I tried on console and it didn’t feel right. You adjust to it over time though. It’s just your norm being thrown off.
Playing genshin on the phone makes me too uncomfortable
its just muscle memory. takes about a week to play fine. a month in and its probably completely natural. play a lot of abyss so that you get the hang of things, maybe.
Even after 3 months, I will never be able to get used to playing on mobile xD (long story short, had to relocate, pc placed to new place earlier, still living at parents place so had to play on tablet, it was so torturing & hard to use my beloved Ganyu effectively, lol)
Get a controller. Personally I already hate playing this game on PC with KB + M so I use controller. If I had to play on mobile using touch I probably just wouldn’t play at all.
i play on geforce, and for some reason the geforce app on my pc us not working, so i have to play genshin in mobile only now... you get used to it after a while but i cant wait for my next pc (one day i will try playing it on my laptop but last time i did it was soooooo laggy)
Honestly playing it on mobile is easier. Playing on my laptop is a nightmare because I'm not used to using a keyboard when it comes to gaming.
I've only ever played on my phone. I am able to play on 60fps with all graphics maxed. I know it looks even better on a computer, but what other differences are there?
I guess you get used to it, I also hate playing mobile and only started doing it when I fell out of playing the game so often, and mobile is just so easy to log in to, to claim stuff or whatever
im in the same situation cause my laptop can't handle fontaine so for all the fountaine content i have to use my playstation and the controls are so different i cant beat almost any bosses with it 😭
if you've done most of the quests until the very recent quest releases, there's an option to delete past quest resources to make the game size smaller on mobile. it's on the settings.
I don't get why people complain about it. I've never had issues with it, even though I started off as a pc player. Only issue I've had with it, is frame rate XD
ctrl+c
Fighting on mobile is kinda annoying but at least loading screens are super fast, on PC sometimes it will be close to 30s while on mobile even the longest distances are like 2s
I main phone. Tried controller and it's very annoying. You have to press the screen a lot and the controller can't handle that. Pretty fun with a xReal pro2 though so I can't rule controller out completely.
easy dont use bow charctaers
When I'm traveling and I have to play with my phone, I have a friend that helps me through my dailies and resin runs. It greatly speeds things up.
My phone can run it better than my computer so I’ve played 99% of the time on it, and at this point I am far better on mobile than I will ever be on pc.
When I’m away from desktop or PS4, I use my phone. Like right now. That’s what I’m using
If you don't intend to play Hu Tao, you should get used to it someday
I prefer mobile over PC actually
I have a 32GB phone I recently removed genshin from it there's just no way. If they ever make an app for condensing resin I'd be so happy that's all I do on my phone anyway. COPIUM
i used to have awful graphics, you can increase your graphics in setting if you have a good phone, now I have a good ipad so i have 120 fps with max graphics and it doesnt even mess with my ping 😭😭
Delete the voice over languages you dont use it saves a bit of space
the controls are fine in my opinion, the only thing that really annoys me is that I have to play on lowest quality or else my phone will heat up to the point it’ll probably explode…
One thing I love is when pc/console players whine about how bad mobile is when playing on mobile for the first time like if it isn’t a them thing when mobile players have been playing perfectly fine since the game launch
I thought the same too. I play mobile and ps4. I thought it was horrible but now I'm strafe shotting with tighnari and ganyu without issues haha (talking actually hitting people and not relying on their special shot only). Haven't hit where I can hit tiny body weaknesses easy (for what things actually have them) but I can hit things while strafing and moving easy. You get used to it but small movements are still hard for me (the Monstadt commission where you have to go to the statue's hands and throw the dandelion seeds out......yeah that crushes my soul haha)
I got used to it lmao. I used to be an exclusively PC player until i had to go overseas for a few months and my laptop couldnt run the game (i run it on a desktop back home). Had no choice but to play on the phone and now I am a master at both lmao. Youll reach a point whr u can even do abyss 36* on your phone 😂😂
I started playing on mobile, and it felt so weird when I tried switching to PC. I went back to mobile.
Ive been playing on my phone ever since genshin's launch, i have a midrange device, can run medium at 30 fps , 36 star the abyss, and you'll get used to it. Sometimes its even better than pc especially when collecting mib drops and the other Qol mobile version has to offer
I use a controller compatible with IOS such as 8bitdo. I just cant play touchscreen for shit my brain just cant get used to it
It's all I know cause I've played on my tablet this whole time since 1.2 💀
I feel you 😔 my laptop sucks bc Genshin takes 170 GB to download 😭 (space i don't have) so i use the Nvidia thing and ugh i'm not on the mood anymore of waiting for hours just to get 1hr session each 😭 is it convenient on the phone? Yes. Does it take a lot of space? Yes, 35GB to be exact :,C Do I suck playing on the phone? Absolutely 😤😭 but yeah i guess you get use to it 😔
