Chapter 264: Forced Preaching
The screenwriter was tired of the same tall and all-in-one protagonist, and after arriving at Celadon Technology, he completely let go of the shackles. The chapter update is the fastest, so that the protagonist's feelings change with the plot, complement each other, and drag the player to be more immersed in the game.
Before compiling the emotional line, screenwriter Ke deliberately found Zhou Yi and carefully asked the players about the psychological changes when playing the game. Then try to align the psychology of the protagonist with the changes of the player.
According to Zhou Yi's analysis, when players start to play the game, they don't have much emotion about the game world, they just want to enter the game quickly and enjoy the fun of shooting Japanese soldiers.
At this time, because players are not familiar with the inside of the game, they should not be allowed to explore the game on their own. Instead, it's about giving them a mission objective, telling them to go somewhere, kill a certain number of enemies, and meet the initial expectations of players when they enter the game.
In order to start the battle as soon as possible, players are willing to do it according to the rigid design and engage the Japanese army.
After hearing what Zhou Yi said, screenwriter Ke felt that the protagonist's initial feelings should be very indifferent. In terms of behavior, it is to accept the orders of the regiment commander and passively join the battle.
It just so happens that this is also in line with the setting of the main character. has participated in so many battles and sacrificed so many comrades-in-arms by his side, he has long become a walking corpse. How can there be any image of tall and complete?
The state of the protagonist is connected to Li Ming's psychology. Li Ming is also relatively speechless about the game now, and the only thing that can be interesting is the kill effect that comes out after aiming hard.
He is now in control of the protagonist, defending a position on the left. Suddenly, a dusty comrade-in-arms came and talked for a long time. Li Ming looked at the subtitles to understand. It turned out that the protagonist was asked to switch to defending the position on the right.
"......" Li Ming obeyed the order.
Follow the target point to the right position. At this point, it becomes unactionable, and a small cutscene must be watched. The platoon commander, who was struggling to support himself in the right position, was excited and thanked the protagonist for coming.
If it is a Chinese player, it is estimated that there will be a little dark in the heart. But Li Ming didn't feel anything, silently waited for the plot to end, and then continued to play.
The platoon commander informs the protagonist about the composition of the position, how many enemies he faces, and so on.
Li Mingxin said that this is not a strategy game, the right position has to face the attack of 300 Japanese troops, do you still need players to kill 300? What the platoon commander said. It's all irrelevant information. What's the point of listening? It's only right for me to fight the enemy.
That's what he thought. The protagonist interrupts the platoon leader indifferently in a hoarse voice: "Needless to say. You give me the most forward position, and I will defend it. ”
Li Ming was thinking so, and the protagonist spoke, almost saying Li Ming's request. Of course, Li Ming's spirit was shocked. The connection with the main character of the game has deepened even more.
"Lee. Okay? Let's take a look at this game online? Gabe saw that Li Ming was not ready for a long time. So he asked again.
"I'd like to re-evaluate the game's single-player content." Li Ming said. That's the good thing about working at a game company, where you can play new games during working hours, and it's called "evaluation content".
This will make Li Ming a little interested in the protagonist of the game. Plus the kill effects are really good-looking, and there's another big battle soon. So I don't want to quit the game right now.
Gabe was a little surprised, but did not object. Stand-alone content always has to be evaluated, and Li Ming will do it now if he is willing to do it. Gabe said, "Okay, after you've played it, tell me how the game compares to the first chapter." ”
Li Ming is only a little interested now, and he is still far from "devoting himself to it". It's probably the same as when Wang Bufu first started playing BioShock: Infinite. When Wang Bu played that game, he was confused at first, and he only became a little interested after playing for more than half an hour.
The emotional line compiled by the screenwriter is not immutable. The emotions of the protagonist will refer to the psychology of the player and slowly rise in line with the plot. The protagonist doesn't say much, but the psychological changes can be seen every time.
From the initial indifference, to being re-infected by the high-spirited allies, the protagonist's heart ignites a small spark again, and then gradually burns.
also cooperated with Wang Buying's forced operation, which was originally afraid that the player would be bored, and it was not acceptable to Li Ming if he wanted to.
After playing for two hours, Li Ming has been brought into the game by the main character. As the game progresses, the protagonist no longer follows orders completely, but instead makes his own judgment based on the situation. Li Ming also became more and more aware of the game's background content.
After identifying with the background, Li Ming's spirit became more and more concentrated, and like the protagonist, he was more active. The initiative of the protagonist is to decide how to fight based on his own judgment. Li Ming's initiative, on the other hand, is to think about strategies in battle, allocate ammunition according to the enemy, and so on.
After being more engaged in the game in this way, Li Ming felt more refreshed when he saw the kill effect again. There's no comparison to the fun you had at the beginning.
When it was time for the lunch break, he went out and bought a simple burger, then bit back to the office and continued to play.
Gabe hasn't played multiplayer mode yet, and he's only been playing for half an hour on a single machine, so he doesn't know what the game really looks like. At noon, when he returned to the office with a soda from the restaurant, he saw that Li Ming was still playing the second chapter of "Far Eastern Battlefield".
Not only playing, but also having fun. Even when Li Ming reached out to pick up the hamburger and take a bite, his eyes were always glued to the screen.
So fun? Gabe was amazed and walked up to him and asked, "Lee, how is this game?" ”
"Their screenwriting is amazing, and I feel like I'm already immersed in the game." Li Ming said without looking back.
Villefort is a technology-based company. Gabe didn't care about the little rudeness of his subordinates, and sucked a soda to watch Li Ming play the game.
At this time, Li Ming had already hit the infiltration level. The regiment commander was speaking in Chinese, and when he heard the "I will not surrender", Li Ming immediately adjusted his sitting posture and straightened his waist several points.
Gabe also studied how players react while playing the game. Seeing Li Ming's appearance, you know that this game has successfully conveyed something to Li Ming, so it can cause that kind of reaction.
Gabe didn't understand what the head of the regiment said, and he didn't understand the plot. I just think that the voices of the characters in the game are still quite good.
After listening to the regiment leader's account, Li Ming and Wang lived up to the same initial choice, did not choose to sneak, but took a gun and did it directly. With a dozen or two hundred, it's a cool word to play.
Gabe watched it as a movie next to him, but he watched it with relish.
It's like when he watches "The Lord of the Rings" now, skipping the plot and going straight to a hot battle. seems to be talking about the intense action, but in fact, the happiness is far less than that of other viewers who have watched the plot and know the cause and effect.
Li Ming enjoys more than just the combat parts of slowing down time and killing special effects. He knows the plot and personally controls the protagonist to defend the southern defense line in Hengyang for several hours.
In those few hours, the recognition of the regiment commander and the gratitude of his comrades-in-arms were all seen by Li Ming. Li Ming was indifferent at first, and when a hint of pride began to appear in his psychology, it meant that he had accepted the plot.
But it took so long for this line of defense to be broken through by the enemy. He hadn't read the novel, didn't know the spoilers, and was mentally unprepared, which led to a depression in his heart. If there is a chance to kill the past, Li Ming will kill it. to ease the depressed feeling in my heart.
It took forty minutes for Li Ming to finally kill more than 200 enemies. Looking at the corpses on the ground, he was refreshed. The protagonist cannot move at this time, and must accept the praise of the regiment commander and comrades. Taking advantage of the free time, he picked up half a hamburger that he hadn't eaten for more than forty minutes, and bit it while watching the plot.
The burger was already cold, but Li Minghun didn't care.
Gabe stood by and watched the forty-minute battle, which would have been greeted by the compliments of the protagonists, and honestly, it was quite useful.
"......" Gabe was used, and felt speechless. This method of pouring chicken soup is inevitably too simple and crude.
"Lee, is this game worth playing?" Gabe asked.
"It's worth playing." Li Ming paused the game and said seriously: "This game must have been made by a group of very serious people. I can feel that every detail of the game is perfect. ”
"But the story ......," Gabe hesitated. The quality is not bad, for sure, he just watched it here for forty minutes, of course he understands. But the plot of the game is also very important.
"I don't think the plot is bad. It's just that there is a barrier to entry, as long as you continue to play, as the game progresses, the plot of the game will be very shocking. Li Ming actually experienced it and said truthfully.
"Hold on? I'll try again. Gabe decided to try the game again. endure the early plot and see if what Li Ming said is true.
Gabe started playing again, and the only thing he could have had for the previous hour was a variety of kill effects.
If you only have the kill effect, the game may not sell as much.
However, the emotional thread of the game also plays a role at this time. Through the disgusting forced operation, Gabe was engrossed in the plot. These emotional threads were originally used to add to the cake for Chinese players, but Gabe gradually embraced the game world because of this.
After all, everything the protagonist does is operated by Gabe. After Gabe made the move, he saw the dazzling kill effects, and received positive feedback from his comrades and the regiment commander, and the estrangement in his heart naturally gradually dispelled.
At the same time, the protagonist's actions are also active, and he is no longer simply following orders. For example, to rescue a surrounded company, the protagonist will come up with three options, and then the player chooses one to execute. Players have become more motivated as a result.
After such an interaction a few times, Gabe agrees with the plot of this game anyway. I decided to go online to check the background of the plot. Where exactly is the city of "hengyang".
There is no way, the game threshold of Celadon Technology is so high. This knowledge is not strange to Chinese, but to Europeans and Americans, it is very secret. There is no introduction to this knowledge in the game at all, and if you want to solve your doubts, you can only check it yourself. (To be continued......)
