I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man - Chapter 209
c203 The audience was dumbfounded! The difficulty of this game
This monster looks like a giant ape and has a great sense of oppression.
In addition, there are archers inside the city gate who are constantly firing cold arrows.
You definitely can’t fight inside.
“If we can lure it outside, it will have the power to fight.” Wang Laoju gave it a try and slowly backed away without breaking the hatred.
And he used rolling to avoid the whirlwind sword energy coming from behind.
good news.
It can indeed be lured outside to engage in a 1v1 battle with it.
And the bad news is.
Even if it’s a 1v1 battle.
This guy also looks too ferocious.
There is a drawback to engaging larger enemies.
That is, the visual field is blocked.
Players cannot see the full extent of the giant ape’s attacks.
Especially Lao Ju who stood at its feet and was ready to hurt him.
Sometimes you can feel this guy raising his sword and preparing to slash, but it always happens that he rolls too early or too late.
And its huge body makes it slow.
After clearing two or three waves of camps to brush runes, Wang Laoju has become accustomed to the faster attack speed of her humanoid opponents.
On the contrary, it is difficult to judge this slowly coming offensive.
After just two simple moves, the faded one let out a scream and fell to the ground.
But as Wang Laoju just concluded.
There is no such thing as a one-and-done game.
Every time you face a different enemy, your tactics will change.
It is also a good opportunity for players to learn and grow.
Furthermore, the blessing point is right in front of you.
Without saying a word, just get started!
Maybe it was the fierce battle against the big tree in the first half hour, or maybe it was the core gameplay of this game that I suddenly understood in the camp.
In this challenge to the giant ape, Wang Laoju only died less than ten times.
Explore new ways of playing and make progress while constantly dying.
“roll!”
“Okay, his sword is very hard when he sweeps it close to the ground. Now I take the opportunity to go around my back…”
“A jumping chop!” As Lao Ju’s words fell, he also took away the last trace of the giant ape’s blood.
“Roar!!!”
Watching the huge body collapse, it then turned into dots of white light particles and disappeared, and he was given a generous 2,000 runes.
“Holy shit, so fat?” Wang Laoju was stunned.
You must know that he just expanded the blood limit in order to upgrade.
After spending a long time in the camp, I carefully brought all kinds of monsters to fight alone. There were only more than 1,000 monsters in one round.
It takes time and effort.
As a result, if you kill this giant ape, you can get 2,000 for each one!
And, after defeating it.
A feeling of getting stronger emerged from Lao Ju’s heart again.
Comments such as “The Chairman is so strong” and “666” filled the screen.
The popularity of the live broadcast room has begun to pick up.
Players can feel the thrill of growth without any numerical improvement.
This is something no game has been able to do before.
After solving the giant ape, Lao Ju did not hesitate.
Summoning the spirit horse Torret, riding the horse and whipping into the city gate, the horse’s hooves are very fast!
Just like the place name of the blessing point is displayed – [in front of the level]
This looks like a distant garrison point in Stonewell City.
It functions more like an outpost.
An upward winding mountain road spreads to the end.
But on this road, except for the giant ape guarding the gate.
Many road blocking fences were also set up, and many archers and shield-bearing soldiers were ambushing on both sides of the road to clear out all uninvited guests who rushed into the city without permission.
Although the most dangerous giant ape here has been eliminated, the soldiers ambushing on both sides still cannot be underestimated.
As long as the player is slightly careless, he may die from this.
Then facing the giant ape that was refreshed again, I had to start all over again.
Wang Laoju just felt that she has become stronger and even killed the giant ape. Is she afraid of you rotten soldiers?
As a result, they were shot by archers from a distance, and soldiers hiding in the bushes took the opportunity to rush up and make a surprise attack.
Two consecutive cuts directly reduced the faded person’s health to less than half!
Frightened, Lao Ju rolled around and hurriedly drank the blood medicine, regaining her vigilance.
He didn’t want to face the giant ape again. It was very messy, dangerous and uneconomical to deal with.
“This game really…can’t be taken lightly for a moment. Even the weakest looking mobs can be killed by us.”
After carefully killing all the enemies lurking around the mountain road, Wang Laoju breathed a sigh of relief.
When he looked up at the road ahead again, he felt a sense of fear for no reason.
Even Wang Laoju herself couldn’t figure out the reason for this kind of fear.
Being afraid of powerful opponents was an emotion he had never seen in other games before.
While riding the horse forward, Wang Laoju also thought deeply about this emotion that had arisen in her heart for the first time.
When Wang Laoju plays games, she likes to experience them from the perspective of a ‘game designer’.
I will think about what kind of design method they used here, and why they designed it like that there.
Once you successfully capture some of the obscure details left by the designers, players will feel happy.
This is a kind of game that is born in the game but is higher than the game. It only belongs to the spiritual resonance between the players and the designers.
Wang Laoju is by no means a special case, this is also what many players do when experiencing games.
Generally speaking, when players play games, they want to be beaten to a pulp by the BOSS.
But “Elden” begins to subconsciously implant layers of strong elements into the players from the moment they step into Nimgofu.
Get out of the initial novice tutorial cave.
Then he meets the big tree guard who is a cute new killer.
Finally escaped.
Another setback was encountered at the camp.
Then he continued to practice until he became stronger, and finally was able to clean up the camp without dying.
Immediately, there was another attack from the mountain demon, which shattered the player’s complacency.
Facing more powerful enemies, players once again have to devote 120,000 points of concentration to fight.
Finally, the powerful enemy, the mountain demon, was defeated.
The ambush leading to the mountain was also cleared.
What is left for the players at this time is besides the joy of growing up again.
There is also an added fear of the unknown future.
We already know that we are going to Stonewell City to hunt down a so-called ugly demigod-Grek.
But on the way to hunt him, we haven’t even reached the city of Stonewell, and we haven’t even seen the shadow of Stonewell City yet.
They had already been beaten down by the strict defense system along the road.
This will invisibly make players feel as if they are really trying to conquer the city.
It will also quietly increase the status of the BOSS that the player is about to attack.
The obstacles I encountered along the way were already so strong.
Is it really possible to get to Stonewell? How strong will the opponents inside be?
But then again.
If I beat such an opponent, how awesome would I be?
That’s exactly what it is.
While it makes players feel fearful, it also vaguely bursts out with a sense of challenge that says, “Lao Deng, I have to crush you!”
And this complex emotion of ‘fear and expectation’.
After Wang Laoju went up the mountain road and arrived at the gate of Stonewell City, she finally reached the peak! (Little Red Riding Hood will explain this later)
After clearing out the soldiers hiding in the narrow corridor.
Take one step out of the corridor.
Suddenly, the entire live broadcast room exclaimed, ‘Wow! ’, ‘Fuck! ’ and other exclamations.
I saw that under the sky shrouded by black clouds, Stonewell City seemed to be built on the top of the mountain closest to the sky.
This is a very old castle with a dark stone exterior.
The stone is made of large rough-cut stones arranged neatly and orderly.
The city wall is tall and strong, covered with traces of time and scars of battle.
On top of the city wall, there are many tall towers and observation towers, which can directly overlook the front of the level, giving a panoramic view of all threats from the outside world.
The octagonal tower top outlined with wooden gold-edged carvings has a strong fusion style of ancient Rome and Gothic. The howling mountain wind blew the flags on the city gate fluttering in the wind, giving it an indescribable solemnity.
Show off the majestic architectural beauty!
In comparison, the faded man standing at the foot of the city gate, who had to raise his head and look up to see the front building of the castle, looked very small.
Especially in the portrayal of the environment like “dark clouds over the city”.
This depressing psychological implication will be magnified by players.
At this time, the barrages in the live broadcast room have begun to explode!
“Wairui! Is the sense of oppression so strong?”
“With such a city here, I can’t even imagine how powerful the guys in it will be…”
“This is the first time I have intuitively felt what architectural aesthetics is in a game! The impact is really huge!”
“Fuck! When it comes to integrating architectural style with game graphics, I really only admire Ready Player One! I feel like other games have imitated this style in the past two years, but they always fail to achieve such a direct and touching look and feel. ”
“The last time my scalp was numb was the Sky City in Bioshock, but that one was more dreamlike and beautiful, while the current Stonewell is more realistic and majestic!”
“It’s carved with treasure! This building alone is enough for students of the Department of Architecture and Engineering to study for a long time, right?”
“Gravure? Yubao! The main beauty of Ready Player One is the eternal god!”
“Damn it, just because Stonewell City shocked me, I bought this game!”
At this time, Wang Laoju had not yet waited for the impact this scene had brought to him.
Suddenly, a humanoid monster holding a cane, covered with curly horns, and even a dragon tail slowly appeared above the top of the towering tower, emitting a dazzling light that was exactly the same as the golden tree.
Although he looks ugly, his demeanor is very dignified and calm, and he looks like a nobleman of considerable status.
“The faded one——
One who is manipulated by the fire of foolish ambition.
Do you also dream of getting the Ring of Elden? ”
After the words fell, the light on his body gradually dimmed and went out.
Leap forward and jump off the tower.
“Bang!!”
Just like the landing animation of a superhero, it stirred up flying sand and rocks and filled with black smoke.
He slowly walked out of the black mist with murderous intent in his voice!
“Then, including the wildfire, we should put it out.
I, the “bad omen demon” Malkit, will carry out your execution! ”
“Holy shit? Another BOSS?” Wang Laoju’s eyes suddenly widened.
How long has it been since?
If the tortured death time of the player is removed and the normal process is followed, the player will ride directly towards Stonewell at the beginning.
It can be said that the player only experienced a few waves of mobs before facing a brand new BOSS!
Good guy…a BOSS that in other games is not willing to be released until important moments.
Why are you so exposed in “Elden” like you don’t need any money?
After all, you must know that the money spent on polishing a BOSS is far beyond what the mobs and others can match.
I won’t talk about the modeling aspect, but the action skills need to be designed completely new.
Then the BOSS appears, and at least there needs to be a related plot around him, right?
You can’t just pop up a BOSS without any plot, as that will seriously ruin the sense of immersion.
This will undoubtedly increase the text workload.
Finally, there are the BOSS’s weapons and equipment, the venue where it is located, the exclusive props dropped by defeating the BOSS, etc., and the relevant balance must be designed.
Just count it on your fingers, these are all burning expenses!
Therefore, in most Blue Star games, the BOSS process usually only takes about half an hour to appear.
By the end of the game, if there are more than 20 BOSSs, it is considered that the game manufacturers have done their best, and the players have to be grateful and shout happy.
But in “Elden”, not long after the game started, Wang Laoju was already amazed by the density of the boss.
“Don’t be a scheming BOSS…”
And the next ominous attack will completely change Wang Laoju’s mind!
The cutscene just ended.
The ominous health bar had just emerged.
From a long distance away, several golden-plated daggers shot out one after another.
Lao Ju reacted quickly and raised his shield, but found that even if he blocked the attack, his health was still being deducted!
This BOSS attacks with magic damage!
And just when I first learned this.
The bad omen has already taken action!
His seemingly strong body is actually extremely flexible at this moment!
The speed of movement is astonishing.
In the blink of an eye, he jumped from dozens of meters away and hit hard with his crutch!
roll!
The experience accumulated from all the previous levels allowed Wang Laoju to quickly snap the space and roll on the spot, barely avoiding the downward attack.
He also successfully got around to the back of the bad omen.
“It seems that this BOSS is not as strong as I thought…” Before he could say the word ‘strong’, Lao Ju’s face suddenly tightened!
I saw Omen holding his crutch high with his back to the player.
And the next moment!
The speed of light turns around for Ah Tui!
A crutch hit the ground vertically!
“Bang!”
This superb intelligence and mobility caught Lao Ju off guard.
There was no time to roll over, so he raised his shield to resist the attack.
But Bad Omen showed no desire to give up the attack.
After the blow, without any forward warning, the other free hand reached for his waist and quickly took out a slender light dagger.
The daggers dance wildly!
Two chisel blows to the left and right against the fading one! As powerful as a mad dog!
Lao Ju, who originally had a low energy bar, was almost empty after being hit by a cane.
Before he even had time to lower his shield, he took two more blows from the light dagger and slashed back and forth.
“Dang!”
He was directly knocked out of defense!
He was blown away by the second sword of the light dagger.
The blood volume has also been reduced to a critical level!
It can be said that it breaks when touched!
In a panic, Wang Laoju lost the momentum she had just fought all the way to Stonewell City.
As soon as his energy bar recovered a little, he retreated and rolled twice in succession to widen the distance.
I just wanted to raise my hand to replenish blood.
But right now.
Omen once again showed his crazy desire to attack!
As if he wanted to tear this uninvited guest into pieces, he transformed into a huge light hammer and jumped into the air.
After a short two second delay.
Swooping down to where the faded one on the ground was standing.
Justice from heaven!
The giant light hammer in his hand hit the ground like thunder, and the tremendous force created countless cracks! Even the ground is shaking! The footage was also shaking.
Although Wang Laoju already knew that this move was extremely powerful, she rolled over in advance.
But when the light hammer left the ground, it also caused a diffuse shock wave!
The Faded One took shockwave damage as soon as he rolled up.
Lao Ju, who was already struggling to survive, could only watch the words ‘GAME OVER’ appear and the screen turn gray and black.
At this point, he was stunned.
Wang Laoju stared at the screen blankly and fell into silence.
He didn’t even know what he had just experienced…
An offensive like a violent storm!
Wave after wave, without any chance to breathe!
Is this the BOSS that players want to fight in the early stage of land reclamation? ? ?
The barrage is also completely stupid!
After a short delay of two seconds, the explosive rolling began!
“????”
“ah???”
“Ke? What are you doing, Ke???”
“Fuck!!! What the hell kind of BOSS is this???”
“I’m so excited, there’s so much pressure!! This offensive rhythm makes me feel suffocated through the screen!!”
“Is this a fucking BOSS that players can defeat at this stage???”
“To be honest, the chairman has done a good job just now, leaving almost no loopholes… Whether it is blocking the flying knives at the beginning, rolling to avoid the big jump, or raising the shield and carrying the cane to smash down, the dagger is dancing wildly. I reached my limit. But the difficulty design of this bad omen still exceeded my expectations…”
“In other words, when fighting this BOSS, the skills I learned before are not very useful… I have to learn newer things from this BOSS again… I really have to live and learn as I go!”
“But how do you learn about BOSS? I can’t even see where his flaws are…he only has one word in his body, strong!”
“It feels like the big tree guard has become a younger brother compared to him. How on earth are we going to fight…”
“I can’t even defeat the big tree guards, you ask me?”
“despair……”
“No, you put the bad omen in other games. I believe it when you say it’s the final BOSS… just put the number one player in the second appearance like this? Jiang Zi showing off his skills?”
“Okay, okay! This is how you play a game, isn’t it! Gravograph, I want to see what BOSS you make in the future that is more difficult than this one!”
The barrage scrolled fiercely for a moment.
Wang Laoju swallowed hard and came back to her senses.
Shocked…! !
I just said that the number one boss designed by the number one player is so dense, I am afraid that it is not a scheming boss, just to support the scene and make up for it.
Let’s see now…
How the hell is this a trick BOSS! ?
Just like what the barrage said.
The design quality of this BOSS is inferior to other action games, and it is easy to directly advance to the final BOSS!
In “Elden”, it was even as if he was showing off his skills and was directly thrown into second place.
Ready Player One, what kind of game are you making…
And where is the upper limit of difficulty of this game…
