Genshin Impact, the popular action RPG by MiHoYo, did something incredibly brazen in their recent character reveal. They dubbed a character “Gaming”. Yes, you read that right – our new character’s name is a part and parcel of Genshin Impact’s genre. This creative, hilarious, and potentially ruinous decision has sparked a wild reaction in the Genshin Impact community.
Summary
- The player community is amazed and amused by the new character’s name – Gaming
- Players speculate on the meme potential of a character literally named Gaming
- Doubts emerge on whether the in-game translation matches the English understanding of the word “gaming”
- The community is eager to see how the character develops in future updates
Player Reactions
The immediate reaction from the player base can be wrapped up in the words of user Kingpimpy who simply declares, “I AM GAMING” and user Axlzz who asks, “I can understand that in chinese it’ll read Ga-Ming, but when written in English you can’t expect this to read like that, in a game no less.”
The Meme Potential
User LivingASlothsLife envisions the memes already seeing the “Shonen protag looking guy called gaming.” Other players joined this excitement, sharing the humorously dramatic username Propper_Anybody who shouts, “# Gamers rise up!“
What’s in a Name?
Another aspect noted by the user 4GRJ was the nomenclature and in a quizzical comment notes, “Whoever decided on this name…It’s something.” The fact that something as ubiquitous as Gaming was chosen for a character name has resonated with the users, creating a buzz around the game.
Overall, this outlandish decision has tickled the funny bone of the Genshin Impact subreddit, creating a wave of memes and amusement. Only time will tell if Gaming will become as legendary as his name implies.
