It looks like a pretty shameless ripoff indeed, but here's a few things why I might want to pick it up anyway:
1) I love the music you can hear in this trailer. It's more of a typically JRPG styled OST compared to BOTW's unique simplistic style. I do love BOTW's soundtrack, but the music of Genshin Impact sounds great, too
2) The combat: compared to BOTW it looks a little more fast paced. You can switch through characters who have their own set of skills - Could be a lot of fun to use that and gain advantages in combat
3) Potentially the story? Maybe? I didn't really like the whole story in BOTW. It was a smart concept to experience it through flashbacks and environmental story telling, but it was very simple in its core. If the complexity of the story in Genshin Impact is anywhere above BOTW, I will definitely want to pick it up
For personally it has got to be Xenoblade Chronicles - it's not only the game of the decade for me, but my alltime favorite game overall. No other game has resonated so well with me and I wouldn't be surprised if the Definitive Edition for the Switch ended up being my game of the next decade as well. Endless love for Monolith Soft.
I purchased Mutant Mudds Collection on sale (and used my incredible 3,00 € worth of gold coins to bring the price down to 3,49). I love the HD rumble in this game - makes it so much better than on 3DS imo.
It's cute and fun, but i feel like the current 60 € pricetag is a little high for me. It's just a little TOO similar to Triple Deluxe for my taste. I'll wait until it drops to a sweet spot of 40 - 45 €.
If this really is a tease for a D3 port on Switch, my brain will explode and everything that's left of my miserable social life will be killed for good.
Skipping the blade bonding cutscene was THE most wanted improvement for me. Finally I don't have to sit through this tedious animation anymore every time.
I'll definitly start a new game + when the update hits.
