Chapter 263: Super Delicious Rusty Apple
The apple is really not good-looking, just ugly peeling, and the key is that it is starting to rust, yellow and brown.
Xia Ci was anxious, stretched out his hands to cover the apple, and said hurriedly: "Guard...... Brother, go back to your room and wait a while. Wait for me to unleash the magic of rejuvenation, and you will come out again. ”
"You're going to rejuvenate this apple?" Wang Bufu saw a table of finely chopped apple peels and knew that Xia Ci must have been peeled for a long time. He walked up, bent down to look at the apple from between Xia Ci's fingers, and was surprised: "Is this for me?" ”
"Hmm......" Xia Ci was still holding the apple, and he died of shame.
It took a long time to peel an apple, and the result was completely different from the one the guardian had peeled. The guardian spirit is round and white, and it is very beautiful. What about hers? It's ugly, it's black!
"This is the apple that has been corrupted by unspeakable evil...... I found this black sheep and took it out and put it to death! Now that the execution is over, throw it away. Xia Ci originally wanted to shirk his responsibility, but the more he talked about it, the more he said it, and he actually forgot that he had just to restore the youth of this "black sheep".
"What to throw. What an expensive thing. Take it and let me completely destroy this unspeakable evil minions! Wang Bucheng said and broke Xia Ci's hand, snatched the apple out, and bit it with a "click".
Don't look ugly, it's still very brittle. Wang Bu took a bite of the apple and asked, "Porcelain, is it an apple that was specially peeled for me?" ”
"It's not! I found out ......" Xia Ci began to speak loudly, but as he spoke, he whispered. Finally, he nodded gently in acknowledgement.
Wang Bu exclaimed: "The apples peeled by porcelain are delicious!" ”
Xia Ci looked at the ugly peeled apple. Confused. She reached out and grabbed Wang Buying's arm with which he was holding the apple, pulled it down, and took a small bite. If you want to taste the rusty apples, it's okay to taste them.
The difference between Xia porcelain and Xia Ci when you eat it is really not as fragrant as a white apple. She pouted, "It's not good at all." ”
"Why doesn't it taste good?" Wang Buyi took another big bite in the place where Xia Ci had bitten just now, and he bit the core, "Look, if it's not delicious, I can eat it like this?" ”
Xia Ci was amused and laughed, and then assured Wang Buful: "I must learn the magic of rejuvenating in the future." ”
If it is the idea of ordinary people, it must be to practice the skill of peeling apples. Quickly took the skin away. Eat it in your mouth before it rusts off. But Xia Porcelain actually wanted to continue to peel slowly, but used magic to maintain the taste of apples. What a peculiar train of thought.
How can Wang Bucheng care? He was so surprised that he quickly ate a large apple until it was only a little left, and then threw it away.
It turned out to be in the kitchen. Wang Bu Bu saw that a large number of bowls were actually clean. Even more pleasantly surprised. "Porcelain, did you wash the dishes too?"
Xia Ci followed behind him in order to see Wang's surprised expression. With a smile, he stretched out his hand to Wang Buying. Say, "It's cold." ”
"That's good!" Wang Buyi grabbed her two little hands with one hand, and it was really a little cold. The other hand reached over and rubbed Xia Ci's head.
Xia Ci narrowed his eyes, revealing the expression of the kitten when it was smoothed. She was already familiar with the Guardian Spirit, and she would no longer feel like she had when she was rubbed her head when she first met, and even her neck was shrunk.
was touched by the guardian spirit, and Xia Ci was satisfied. I just think that the cool tap water and the apple peel that has been peeled for a long time are worth it.
……
Due to the jet lag, Wang was about to fall asleep, and Villefort only started to work.
Li Mingcai sat down and saw the message from Celadon Technology, as well as the encrypted link to download the game. sighed: "This game is finally done." ”
In addition to notifying the boss, Li Ming also downloaded the game immediately. Any game producer will be curious about this game from China.
The first chapter of the main "Far Eastern Battlefield" is too amazing, with a theme that offends players so much, it can still sell so much in Europe and the United States. It's just magical.
When it came time to watch the trial of the second chapter, Li Ming could only smile bitterly. Celadon Technology's self-talk is actually a little higher, and it is completely playing with fire.
You must know that even if the initial work of a game has flaws, as long as there are surprising highlights, it can still be accepted by players. The first chapter of "Far Eastern Battlefield" is like this, and the single-player kill special effects have never been seen before, which is surprising. The multiplayer mode was also great, and it was the best co-op shooter on the market at the time. Together, it's not surprising that the two ended up selling that kind of sales.
According to the common sense of game production, even if Celadon Technology does not change to make a game with a European background, it should also put the story on the basis of the first chapter. European and American players finally understood the background of the first chapter last year. Chapter 2 is the right choice to continue to build the game on top of it.
Because sequels are usually difficult to make any substantial improvements compared to the original work. The amazing gameplay in the first game is not new when it comes to the sequel. Make the most of the player base from the original game to keep the sequel a hit.
As a result, the story background of the first chapter was finally familiar to European and American players, and Celadon Technology directly gave it up. The game skipped years and then reimagined a war that only a few history professors would be familiar with.
So for the trial, it is not difficult to understand that there are extremely low reviews on the Internet. Celadon Technology has gained a lot of fans through the first chapter of "Far Eastern Battlefield". But it also offended more players because of the change of game background.
Could it be that Wang Bubu actually thinks that he can abandon the cognitive foundation of players and continue to let players buy an unfamiliar theme with a gameplay that is no longer new?
You can only know this by looking at the game.
When he heard that the second chapter of "Far Eastern Battlefield" was done, Gabe, one of the founders, immediately became anxious and ran to watch it with his laptop. I wonder if the new game can reproduce the sales miracle of the first chapter.
Wait until the game is finally downloaded. Then Li Ming and Gabe hurriedly installed it on their respective computers.
Li Ming entered the game and saw that the picture quality was not improved compared to the first chapter, but various details were made more refined. Sure enough, as he thought, compared to the original work, it is difficult for the sequel to have any huge changes.
In the single-player game of the second chapter, only the rifle can be used from beginning to end, and the bayonet is used to find the moment when the number of enemies is small. Special weapons are obtained on an ad hoc basis according to the process.
Therefore, the kill effect is still mainly played by rifles. Other machine guns, mortars, etc., are just desserts. Compared to the first chapter, nothing has changed drastically.
Li Ming is not bad, even if he is not familiar with it, he knows that this is the history of his mother country, and he is in awe.
But Gabe shook his head and said with a lamented sigh, "Lee, I'm not very optimistic about this game." ”
Li Ming objectively commented: "Yes. It's a game that only die-hard fans of the Chinese company will buy in the first place. Compared to the miraculous sales of the first chapter, the sales this time may be cut in half. ”
"Cut it in half?" Gabe shook his head repeatedly.
The first chapter halved sales of four million, which is still a very strong figure. Gabe even doubts that the game can break a million.
Because European and American players have to pay dozens of dollars at once to buy games. Although this money is not much, not many people will be willing to take it and throw it into the water. They are very hesitant to buy a game. Only by having a rough idea of what to play can they make up their minds to pay for it.
In the face of the second chapter of Far Eastern Battlefield, there may not be many players who have made up their minds to pay for it. It's true that the new kill effects are pretty nice, but they're not that far from the first chapter. And the difficult story is still a huge bruise.
"I played for half an hour, and unfortunately, there was no immersion." Gabe ended the test on the stand-alone side.
Li Ming didn't feel so bad. The plot is really not gripping, it may be that the screenwriter of Celadon Technology used the wrong technique.
Only when the player is familiar with the background can you go straight to the point. However, when using the player's unfamiliar background, it requires great skill to give the player a gradual process of understanding the world.
The subject matter used in the second chapter may be familiar to Chinese. So the game has just begun, and the plot is directly promoted and the protagonist is asked to defend a position.
But for Li Ming, it's as confusing as playing an RPG and throwing the protagonist into a maze to fight monsters at the beginning. Li Ming has no idea where the protagonist is, what he does, and why he does it, so he has no sense of substitution.
In fact, the plot of the first chapter is more ingenious. The protagonist's only hut was burned down by the Japanese army, and when he did the final battle of the trapped beasts, he was saved by friendly forces at the last moment. Then the protagonist embarked on the road of fighting against the Japanese army, at least people can understand the plot.
If the plot of the second chapter is also set up like this, I believe it will be more fun. Gabe wouldn't be so pessimistic.
What Li Ming didn't know was that if he wrote the plot like that, the game would be bloated. This game caters to Wang's preferences first, and Chinese players secondly.
The current plot takes place in the late stage of the Anti-Japanese War, and the protagonist's squadron has to go to the position to defend against the Japanese attack. For Wang and Chinese players, it is concise and easy to understand. There is no foreshadowing of the cause and effect at all, and it is better to start fighting immediately. At this time, no matter what is added, it is a move to add to the snake.
Li Ming smiled bitterly at the current plot. Fortunately, there is no emotion that ruins the three views. Such as inexplicable hatred and inexplicable loyalty. The protagonist of the game is relatively cold at the beginning, which is similar to the feeling of Li Ming playing this game.
Li Ming's biggest concern is that the protagonist of the game has too strong emotions at the beginning. Although the game is set in a time of war, there is bound to be hatred. But as a player, especially for European and American players, it is difficult to empathize.
If the protagonist does something sacrificing for righteousness at the beginning of the game, or shouts something fierce slogan, then Li Ming will get goosebumps. The game does a good job in this regard, which is more consistent with Li Ming's state.
This is also deliberately done by the screenwriter. In the second chapter, there are also two lines of plot and emotion. Screenwriter Ke not only painstakingly wrote the plot line, but also put a lot of effort into the emotional line. (To be continued......)
