I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man - Chapter 239

c232 The initial platform! Tear-dropping game details!

Turn all the ingredients collected in your pocket into dishes in one go.

Those that restore a heart include [Stewed Fruit]*3, [Grilled Mushroom Skewers]*2

There is also [Fruit Mixed with Mushrooms]*1 that can restore two hearts.

It instantly became fault-tolerant.

Saying goodbye to Lao Deng who taught him how to cook, French Fries controlled Link to go straight down the mountain road.

Arriving at a dilapidated ruins of time relics.

There are several monster bokoblins that appeared in the trailer on the outside.

However, because it is too hard to pronounce, French fries prefer to call them pig monsters.

When we first met, since we didn’t understand the situation for the first time, we were very careful when hitting the fries.

He drew the hatred of a pig monster, and then took out a rusty sword and started a game with the opponent.

The pig monster has dark red skin and a low blood volume.

[Rusty Sword], which adds 6 attack points, can basically kill it in 3 hits.

It can be tentatively inferred that the opponent’s health volume is in the range of 13 to 18 points.

After the pig monster dies, it will steadily drop the weapons in its hands.

And there is a chance that [Bokbrin’s horns], teeth, and liver will explode.

In addition to being sold for money, these monster materials can also be used to fuse with some medicinal materials to make a series of special medicines that increase attack, increase movement speed, increase life, increase elemental power, increase elemental resistance, etc.

After putting it in his bag, Fries cautiously looked at the other two pig monsters not far away.

The careful look on his face made Danmaku laugh out loud.

“Playing with Elden.”

“PTSD in the Ring of Law, right?”

“To be fair, I don’t agree if Gravograph doesn’t put a pig monster on the wall of the ruins specifically to assassinate players. /Pout/Pout”

During the barrage, Fries boldly pulled the remaining two pig-headed monsters over this time.

After some competition, it can indeed be confirmed.

The positioning of this game is completely different from Elden.

It is no longer a ring-like style that tortures players’ mentality.

These pig monsters have low HP and very low attack power.

Even if he attacks Link, he will only drop 1/4 of the hearts at a time.

Link has three red hearts in his initial health, and there are several health-restoring dishes in his backpack, so he has nothing to fear from French fries.

After solving all three, five and two, remove the threats near the ruins of time.

Picking up the things that the pig monster exploded, Fries suddenly realized something was wrong.

“Wait a minute… I killed several monsters, why didn’t my experience points increase?” He scratched his head.

Checked the details column again.

In addition to the backpack, the Link character model shown on the right is also included.

It’s gone.

There is no such thing as character attributes.

“Ah?” Fries was stunned.

No character levels?

“Isn’t there no experience points in this game?”

“No, this…?”

After searching around carefully again, Fries was completely confused.

Good guy.

It seems like this game… really has no experience points?

What the hell is this? ?

As long as you can be a game anchor, you will have been exposed to too many games.

Almost 99.99% of the games on Blue Star have EXP.

It’s just that the form of expression is different.

Most games use a very intuitive method of expressing EXP by killing monsters and upgrading, which is a core selling point that allows players to gain a sense of improvement.

As for a small number of games, such as Geo in “Hollow Knight” and Rune in “Elden’s Ring”.

These are deep binding and integration of gold coins and experience points.

Although it does not directly give experience, giving players gold coins can be turned into experience or improvement.

This is also understandable.

But……

Not only does Zelda have no experience points right now.

Even the pig monsters didn’t explode gold coins.

This is the first time that Fries, who has played many games, has encountered this situation.

It felt like Louis XVI on the scaffold – it was confusing.

Not only were the French fries confused, but the viewers in the live broadcast room were also eye-opened.

“Good guy… you can always trust Gravograph’s ability to make things happen! Just go play the new games he makes. If there is no innovation, come back and hack me to death! / Dog Head”

“No, a game that doesn’t give experience points or gold coins…how to play this? Players will lack motivation, right?”

“Is there a possibility that monsters don’t carry gold coins in the first place? Gold coins are human currency, so it makes sense for pig monsters not to explode gold coins/squinting smile”

“Indeed, even if there are monsters in reality and they are hunted, they will not increase the EXP bar. That’s reasonable!”

The barrage of ridicule is ridicule, but what makes the French fries feel the most surprising is that.

If other games did not give experience points or gold coins, he might not be able to play anymore on the spot.

But “Zelda” always has an inexplicable magic that other games cannot match.

It always gives him the feeling that ‘even if he doesn’t give anything, he still wants to play’.

Fries has experienced too little so far, and he can’t answer why he feels this way.

“Let’s continue exploring first.”

There is a broken statue of the goddess inside the ruins of time, which is similar to the Malika church in “Elden’s Circle”.

Players can collect specific materials and come here to redeem upgrade rewards from the goddess.

The rewards are divided into two levels. The first level is hearts that increase the upper limit of blood volume.

The other level is to increase the upper limit of the player’s energy bar.

Judging from the experience of French fries during this period, he believes that the early benefit of the energy bar is obviously greater than the blood limit.

Because in “Zelda”, many scene interactions require energy bars.

For example, in rock climbing, energy cannot be automatically restored when climbing on a rock mass.

Therefore, the upper limit of the energy bar determines how high the player can climb the hill.

The higher the mountain that can be climbed, the wider the options for players to choose from.

Unfortunately, there is currently no material to improve the French fries, so we have to give it up for the time being.

Soon, he encountered an octopus-like mechanical monster in the ruins. The monster was three people tall. At first, half of its body was submerged in the soil. It had some primitive and obscure totem symbols carved on its body.

As soon as Link got closer, it seemed to be activated, and the unique eye on the cylinder’s head began to emit a dangerous red light.

And with ‘Dee-dee-dee-dee! ’ the shrill siren.

The sound became more and more harsh, as if it was reaching a critical level, it was constantly warning of acceleration.

This prompt sounded very ominous, and Fries hurriedly found a ruined bunker to hide.

After the big octopus finished reading the article, a blue laser shot straight out of its one-eyed pupil.

“boom!!!”

It was so powerful that even the camera screen was shaking slightly.

The location of the hit was the direction where Link was hiding.

“Looks like this guy knows how to lock heads.”

Fries originally wanted to try to take advantage of the opponent’s move to cool down, and then rush forward to deal damage.

Who knows, but the Octopus reading strip does not have a CD.

After firing a laser, Link just showed his head.

An infrared-like auxiliary sight fell on Link.

The sound of ‘didi-didi-didi’ came out again.

Full of oppression.

French fries had to give up the idea of ​​hard-hitting.

“This monster doesn’t feel like it can move now…”

“And I don’t know if you have noticed that the pattern totem on this monster is very similar to the pattern of the Shikar Stone in our Link’s hand.”

“What Zelda said at the time was that the Shikar Stone was created using the abilities of an ancient nation.”

“Then this monster…could it be some kind of ancient creature?”

“But why are the ancient creatures shown at the beginning of the game?”

The barrage makes me happy as soon as I hear it.

“Are you looking for @Tree Guard”

“The traditional art of carving!”

Instead of watching the barrage, he muttered some guesses. After constantly switching cover, he avoided the sight of the octopus and found a treasure chest with the EX icon in the ruins.

After opening it, I got a brand new dark black T-shirt.

It is engraved with a golden ring LOGO that is closely interlocked like the five Olympic rings.

“Hey, isn’t this “Elden”?”

“It looks good when I put it on.” After changing the worn top, I didn’t have time to appreciate it carefully.

Fries discovered a strange stone pillar standing behind the wall of the ruins.

Manipulating Link to step forward, he saw a square groove inside the stone pillar.

Just enough to embed the Shikar Stone.

There is almost no need to remind you, the next moment the French fries take out the ‘Switch’ and embed it into the stone slab.

The stone pillar rotated in a circle, and then countless laser beams, like blue electric current, followed the shallow lines in the stone slab and were finally injected into the Stone of Shikar.

“Boom!!!”

Suddenly, the entire ground began to shake!

A spire slowly emerged from the ground, causing cracks in the ground that caused Link to almost stumble and fall.

At this time, in the forest, countless birds dispersed in panic.

The bokoblin on the ground also looked around uneasily.

Snow-capped mountains, volcanoes flowing with hot lava, sand dunes filled with wind and sand, rippling blue seaside, and rainforests where passion and crisis coexist.

There are almost a dozen places where spire-shaped buildings protrude from the ground, evenly distributed throughout the entire Hyrule area.

“Wow!” Fries couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at the big scene in front of him.

“Ready Player One knows how to make a big scene!”

“Before this, I really thought I was just activating a simple little thing, but who knew that a tall tower was rising from all directions!”

The large-scale shock of something lighting up simultaneously around the world is enough to make people’s blood boil.

In the scene at this time, Link has been taken to a higher place by the tower rising from the ground.

Just like a towering tree that grows rapidly, when the player comes back to his senses, he is already in the sky.

He grabbed the guardrail outside the tower and glanced down.

The ruins of time relics that I was in just a moment ago now look as small as a pile of bricks.

The nearby Pokbulin shrank to only a small black shadow.

At the same time, above the stone pillar inlaid with the Shikar Stone, an inverted A-shaped stalactite dropped a drop of blue essence.

After being quickly absorbed by the Shikar Stone.

Players now gain the ability to view the map.

The current area called [Initial Platform] is lit up on the map for the first time.

Players can use the map to determine nearby terrain, buildings, and mark coordinate points on the map.

Just like a blind man has light.

After playing it now, Fries found that this game is really difficult to describe in words.

It is full of an indescribable charm.

I always feel like… my curiosity has never stopped since I started playing the game…

I am always attracted to some inexplicable little things.

The cooking pot after leaving the cave, and the Bokoblin outside the ruins of time.

Then there’s the broken goddess statue, and then there’s the octopus.

In order to avoid the octopus, he accidentally opened an EX treasure chest and obtained an “Elden” linkage T-shirt.

As soon as I put on my T-shirt, my sharp eyes spotted a strange stone pillar next to it, which shone with a faint orange light, making people want to explore it.

After finishing the work, he was taken to high altitude by the stone pillar and unlocked the map of the surrounding area.

The content is interlocking and very compact.

If this was a linear game, then this kind of operation could only be described as a routine operation.

But in the past six months, I have experienced many open world games and experienced countless chaos caused by weak guidance.

At the beginning, I have no idea where I am and what I am doing. Some games even do not even provide tutorials for the so-called immersion, or they do not provide a task bar, allowing players to explore on their own.

The fries you play with are so big that the entire game process can only be summed up in one word.

Tired.

I have no time to enjoy the game content at all. I am actively thinking for the manufacturer throughout the whole process, “What should I do next as a player?”

But when I think about it, “Elden” doesn’t seem to have a taskbar, but it still doesn’t prevent it from being a good game.

So it’s hard to say anything.

But the players’ eyes are sharp.

If you ask them to play a game, they can’t do it.

If you let them play a game, can’t they tell you what’s not fun?

Now after being exposed to “Zelda”, Fries realized this.

The problem lies in the guidance!

In less than half an hour, Ready Player One started with “Zelda” and explained it to countless players and game manufacturers.

Weak guidance is not as simple as weakening the guidance.

Instead, the guidance that is easy to cause drama is integrated into the game in an immersive way!

So that players can always find something to do inadvertently.

What guides you is not system tasks that pop up suddenly.

It was a wisp of smoke rising in the distance.

It is not a highlighted navigation line for fear that the player will not be able to find the way, but a white light outside the cave entrance, and the magnificent landscapes across the continent.

Nor is the point marked on the map at the outset.

Instead, it uses the bokobulin in front to attract players to attack, and then uses the octopus to micro-control the player’s avoidance route.

This is the most amazing thing.

Everything seems to be the player’s independent choice.

When you see light, you will definitely go to a bright place. When you see smoke, you will definitely be curious about what is there.

When you see the first group of monsters, you have to test your overall strength first. If you can’t defeat the monsters, you can only turn around and run away.

All behaviors stem from the player’s curiosity/hazard avoidance instinct.

And Ready Player One.

It is precisely the guidance of “Zelda” that is based on the player’s instinctive drive!

There will be no drama, only more and more immersion in it.

This open world feeling.

The player is like a toddler, full of interest in the entire world.

He explores the world with great freedom, but his parents behind him will always protect him from a safe distance that is neither far nor near.

It won’t restrict his actions, but it can always quickly lead him to a safe path when he goes astray.

But a baby cannot realize all this. He will only think that the world is rich and colorful and life is not in vain.

This subtle guarding distance is obviously the most comfortable experience for players.

“It really fits that sentence. Other games are trying to empty your wallet, but only Ready Player One always treats you like a child who won’t grow up. While guarding you from going astray, at the same time encouraging you to experience this Colorful game world!” Fries was inexplicably impressed by the various hidden design details in the game, which made his nose sore.

Isn’t it an honor for players to have such a game company?

Zelda won’t be too long. I estimate that after writing the four temples on the initial platform, I can basically write down the main gameplay and design ideas of the entire game.

The subsequent content will be briefly mentioned in one stroke, otherwise it would be a bit too tiring to write such a long chapter as “Elden”.

If you are interested, you can watch the video, or if you are well-off, you can consider buying one. For newbies, I recommend playing Picnic 1, because once Wang Lei comes on, those who have not played the previous game may be a little confused, and it will take some time to digest, and this one Time may turn into abandonment rate.

But this game is definitely one of the greatest open world games in the history of gaming, and it’s just one of them.

Because the GTA next door, Big Cousin, and Old Gun 5 are also representatives of the open world. (But these three games will not be written due to length. I will finish them in another month in February. About 1.5 million words is about right)
