Chapter 334: Ezio's Life (2-in-1 Grand Chapter~)
In the game, Chen Xu manipulated Ezio to experience the game, compared with the "Assassin's Creed" in the dream memory, in this "Assassin's Creed" of Nebula Games, Yang Chen added a lot of interaction.
For example, NPCs have more lines and more interaction with the player's main character, Ezio, and it is not a purely linear gameplay, and the player can wander around the city of Florence after accepting the mission.
Including some subsequent maps, players can freely walk the streets.
At the same time, there are some mini-games that are unique to this period in the game, etc.
Of course, Chen Xu hasn't had time to experience these elements or doesn't want to experience them yet, and his main experience is still on the main game plot.
Before he became an Assassin, Ezio was just a rebellious boy who spent his days in Florence getting into trouble, getting into fights, climbing walls and trees, and flirting with his sisters.
Climb to the top of the church with your brothers and look down on the city in the wind.
But soon all that changed, and Ezio's fate was changed.
One day, Utor and Rodrigo Pochia were framed by Rodrigo Pochia, who was behind the murder of Ezio's father and two brothers, but he avoided this disaster by delivering letters.
The night before the execution, Ezio contacted his father, and at the same time he was informed of their family's secrets, as well as evidence of their innocence.
Ezio, who opened the treasure chest there, inherited his father's former assassin service, but even if he wore the assassin service, he was still not an assassin, so he could not save the lives of his relatives, and could only watch the persecuted father and brother execute and die, while Ezio vowed to avenge his family.
Even though he was wanted by the city, there was still a place for Ezio in Florence, where he frequented a fireworks venue, where the owner told him how to get his hands on the Assassins' equipment and taught him how to better hide in the crowd to avoid being discovered by the guards.
"Oh my God, it sounds like it makes sense, but is it really not going to be discovered? This white thorn is too eye-catching! ”
According to the instructions of the tutorial, Chen Xu manipulated Ezio, who was dressed as a stabbing agent, to blend in with the crowd, dodging the guards on the street, and was a little speechless.
Of course, this is just a complaint, in fact, if it is really very realistic, it is not difficult to make the NPC's AI look very high with the ability of Nebula Games.
But the point is that that it makes the game too hardcore, and a lot of gameplay sounds very interesting, but it's not necessarily that fun to play.
For example, if a game hypes up how fun and realistic their game is before playing, do players really need that kind of complex realism when it comes to playing?
In reality, people will die if they don't, but in the game, do we have to manipulate our own characters to and pee?
Imagine you're in the middle of a battle and suddenly your character in the game tells you that his stomach is starting to hurt and he's going to.
This may be an interesting show effect for the audience, but for the players themselves, it is definitely a painful experience.
It's not that you can't do it, it's that you need to make trade-offs.
The game continues, and the next plot gradually makes Chen Xu gradually devote himself to it.
Having learned the art of concealment from the hostess of the fireworks venue, Ezio needs to take revenge.
First of all, Ezio found his good friend Leonardo da Vinci and helped him improve his Hidden Blade equipment.
The player will then need to use the skills Ezio has just learned and the equipment he has just acquired to infiltrate one of Utor's parties and assassinate him.
"It's finally time to get into the show! Assassination, I'm proficient in this, in "Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain", I didn't sneak into the enemy's base camp to assassinate. ”
Looking at the latest character tips given, Chen Xu in front of the computer showed a very happy smile.
"! How did this find me? The young lady didn't charm you? Before he arrived at his destination, Chen Xu was a little panicked when he saw the warning bar suddenly rise and the few guards walking towards him.
This is also a change in the game, adding some of the skills made after Assassin's Creed, but not the RPG skill tree.
RPG can give players enough motivation to play the game repeatedly, but it will also lead to one thing that happens, that is, the reward of the side quest is too high, the player is committed to the side quest to obtain sufficient skill points, and the main story strategy is carried out in the case of sufficient skills, which leads to the player feeling bored in the side quest process, and the main narrative is fragmented, thus giving the player the feeling that "the main plot of this game is too weak".
This is true of many of the games of Assassin's Creed, a game manufacturer, in the dream memory.
This kind of behavior can be understood as 'leveling' in RPGs - boring and boring, but the rewards are enough to crush the main story; But the open world is like a magnifying glass, and the repetitive and monotonous side quests can quickly expand this tedium, which is known as a formulaic sandbox game.
Of course, the solution is very simple, that is, like another game with a white wolf protagonist, to create a rich plot for a large number of subplots, and link them to the main story, they are not irrelevant tools outside the main story and only provide players with remuneration.
They're part of the story, but the cost of the game is too high.
In addition to these, Yang Chen also canceled the setting that the mission failed and lost synchronization if it was discovered by the enemy.
Infiltrate the assassination step by step, or go directly to the big open, this kind of more open and free choice Yang Chen decided to hand over to the player.
So Chen Xu in front of the computer decisively chose a hard anal!
It's just a small team of guards.,In the previous CG animation,The white-robed assassin is a great existence that can assassinate the enemy in front of thousands of troops.,How many guards did his future great assassin have?
With such an idea, Chen Xu rushed forward very confidently.
A minute later, he lost sync.
"As you can see, although this game says that the assassin's dress is quite arrogant, it is still very realistic, basically it is difficult to fight several at a time, assassination is the main method, after all, this game is called "Assassin's Creed".
found two reasons for his defeat, as for the barrage that the audience made fun of in the live broadcast room? Pretend not to be able to see it.
After this failure, Chen Xu did not waste any more, but carefully promoted the main line of the game according to the prompts of the system.
The weak RPG elements in the game allow players to fully experience this kind of harvest feedback when promoting the main story.
Infiltrating Utor's party, Ezio rushed forward, grabbed the opponent's neck with one hand, and pressed the other hand to the opponent's chest, and the Da Vinci's modified Hidden Blade ejected to assassinate the opponent.
Ezio then shouted his first and last name to the panicked crowd - the Auditore family is not dead, I am still here! I! Ezio Auditore!
However, the guards who arrived at the news allowed Ezio to escape, climb onto the roof and stand on a high platform to perform a leap of faith, and then escape from the city with his mother and sister, but on the way to Monteriggioni, Ezio was plotted by Vieri, another enemy who had murdered his father.
Thanks to the support of his uncle Mario, Ezio was able to escape, and Ezio followed his uncle Mario to the manor in Monteriggioni, where he learned the skills of an Assassin.
However, at this time, Ezio did not understand the Assassins' creed and philosophy, and revenge was his only motivation within the Assassin Order, and he did just that.
In the early assassinations of the Pazzi family, the thrill of revenge dominated Ezio, who would clutch at the corpses of his enemies and accuse them of their crimes.
However, under the guidance of his uncle, the rest of the Assassin Order, and some of the things Ezio himself had seen, he slowly accepted his identity and slowly understood what it meant to be an Assassin.
Revenge is no longer his only purpose, he will kill his target, he will gently close his eyes for the other person, and at the same time pray in his heart 'May death bring you peace, rest in peace'.
From Spain back to Florence and then to Venice, Ezio grew up with one battle after another with the Templars.
He had fought for hatred and anger, accusing the corpses of his enemies of crimes, and now he had learned to respect life—in the face of death, no crime was so important.
He began to bear the faith of the Assassins—
When others blindly pursue the truth, remember that nothing is false;
When others are bound by morality and law, remember, all is true.
Ploughing the darkness and serving the light, we are assassins.
Now he's a Master Assassin.
But the story is just beginning.
In Venice, Ezio was once again framed by the Templars and forced to flee the city.
The following year, Ezio returned to Venice during the Carnival, where he successfully assassinated Mark Barbarigo using Leonardo da Vinci's new weapon, the Sleeve Gun, which Altaïr had researched through the Secret Scroll.
However, he was only a puppet supported by the Templars, and the Assassins began to search for traces of the other Templar leaders, and Ezio rode into the Sistine Chapel alone to face the Pope alone, but the victorious Ezio did not kill him.
Ezio then spells together the golden apple with the religious cross, opening a hidden passage in the basement, through which a apparition calling himself "Minerva" sends a message to the future that a major catastrophe will happen to humanity.
Ezio, on the other hand, was confused at this time.
Returning from Rome to his estate in Monteriggioni, Ezio told the story of Italy to the Assassins.
However, the enemies from Rome soon arrived, and the Pope's son, the historical "Duke of Poison", Caesar Borgia, attacked the manor, killed Uncle Mario, and captured Ezio's lover Caterina, who was also seriously injured and escaped.
While Ezio was seriously injured and unconscious, he was rescued by the Assassin Machiavelli, and after healing his injuries, he and the local Assassin Order in Rome began a quest for revenge against the Borgia and the Templars.
Ezio now understood that the Assassins were in decline, and that they needed more power to fight the Templars—and that power had to be opposed to the Templars, represented by the powerful.
He decided to rebuild the Brotherhood by starting with the lower classes, passing on the skills and beliefs of the Assassins to more people and joining forces to fight against the tyrannical Templars.
In the end, Ezio succeeded in leading the growing brotherhood to complete his revenge, and followed the guidance of the golden apple to hunt Caesar all the way to Spain, killing Caesar on the battlefield surrounded by fire.
His activities in Rome earned Ezio the nickname "Mentor of the Assassins", which was the most glorious moment of his Assassin career.
Later, while Ezio was sorting through Uncle Mario's belongings, he found a letter from his father.
In the letter, his father mentions a secret library hidden in Altaïr's hometown, the ancestor of the Assassins.
It is said that in that library, there are more secrets about the Assassins and even the world.
Out of curiosity and curiosity, Ezio embarks on a journey to find the truth. After ten months of trekking, Ezio, who was already over half a hundred years old, arrived in Maisyaf.
However, the former Assassin Sanctuary was now under the control of the Templars, and Ezio, who had just arrived, was immediately captured by the Templars, and when he was about to be executed, he received a "revelation" from Altaïr and finally escaped.
Ezio later discovered that the Templars' purpose was also to find Altaïr's secret library, but the "key" to open it had not been found.
As a result, Ezio searched for the keys, and along the way, he was also involved in the internal struggle of the Byzantine royal family in Constantinople, and met a woman there, his future wife.
Even though Ezio is now over half a hundred years old, he still has not lost his nature.
'Who are you, sir?' The woman asked, looking at Ezio strangely.
'Me? It's just the most interesting person you'll meet in your life. Ezio, dressed in a stabbing service, turned his head with a smile on his face.
Along the way, Ezio obtains a number of 'Yellow Saucers', which are the keys to the Library.
In these 'Little Yellow Discs', Ezio was able to see the magnificent life of his predecessor, Altaïr, who he understood and longed for more and more, and looked forward to the moment when he opened the library.
Eventually, Ezio collected the keys and arrived with Sofia at the door of Altaïr's Library.
However, after entering the library, unlike what he had imagined, there were no books or knowledge there, only the bones of the Assassin ancestor, Altaïr, still wearing an Assassin suit, sitting peacefully in the center.
Hundreds of years have been condensed in the blink of an eye in the blink of an eye in the inheritance of two generations of master assassins
Here Ezio found the Golden Apple that Altaïr had possessed three hundred years ago, which was not the same as the one he had before...... At this moment, thinking of Altaïr's memories of seeing him during his execution, Ezio realized something.
'Found another relic?' ’
'No, you stay here. ’
Ezio didn't reach out to touch it, but kept backing away.
It's enough to see one in my life. ’
At this moment the golden apple bloomed with a light, and Ezio understood everything.
'Desmond? I used to hear your name, Desmond, a long time ago. Now the name haunts me like a dream from along. ’
I don't know where you are or how exactly you hear what I'm saying, but I know you're listening. ’
Ezio looked at the scene around him that was affected by the power of the golden apple, and then he slowly unloaded his equipment.
'I used to just try to live, I didn't know what the meaning was, just like a moth that kept flying to the distant moon. ’
I finally discovered the strange truth that I was just a message passer, a message that I couldn't understand. ’
'Who are we, and who would be so lucky to share our stories like this?' And pass it on to future generations for a hundred years? ’
Maybe you can answer my question, maybe you can make all this suffering worthwhile at last. ’
'Now, listen up......
A dialogue across time and space, looking at the final ending, Chen Xu's live broadcast room was full of barrages of flowers.
And Chen Xu's whole person has not yet come to his senses, he is still immersed in the world that belongs to the assassin.
The game is long and not that long, but it is definitely not short to say that there is a shortage.
Along the way, Chen Xu didn't do any collection, or other branches, these ways to play.
He is purely following a main line, but even with this almost twelve hours of live broadcast every day, he also broadcast it for three or four days before he finished broadcasting the game.
From a street gangster to a legendary Master Assassin, Ezio's life was nothing short of spectacular.
When Ezio was young, he embarked on the path of the Assassin out of hatred, and all he wanted was revenge.
But in middle age, Ezio had seen enough people and things to become mature and wise, and he understood what it meant to be an Assassin.
In his twilight years, in order to pursue the truth, he traveled to the Assassins' holy land to find the secrets that Altaïr had left behind, and finally understood his identity, and engaged in a dialogue with Desmond across time and space.
In addition, the background of the game is even more amazing, such as Cristina on the windowsill, fireworks at the Venetian masquerade, Ezio flying in the night sky, an idyllic garden in San Gimignano in the afternoon, and much more.
The combination of history and fantasy, although the existence of the forerunner made Chen Xu feel a little confused, but the atmosphere of the whole game, including the restoration and atmosphere of the city, gave him a feeling that the era should be the way it was in the game.
Even though he's beaten the main quest, he feels like he'll still be spending a lot of time on the game.
Experience something other than the main storyline.
Take a look at the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, gallop through the Tuscan fields, walk the streets of Rome, see the closed Vatican, and see the magnificent Colosseum.
Of course, in addition to these, Chen Xu has a lot of doubts, the same doubts that exist in the minds of all players.
