Chapter 171: Mixed Reviews!
Lilith's smile froze on her face, her hand holding the potato chips trembled slightly, and only after a moment did she shout: "Gu Fan!" ”
At this time, Gu Fan, who was halfway through his toothbrushing, walked out of the bathroom inexplicably: "What's wrong, Mr. Li?" ”
"What's going on!!" Lilith asked, pointing to the TV screen.
At this time, the Liver Emperor was already continuing to advance the plot of the game, and he decided to follow the hints in the plot first and go to Shingon Temple to obtain the Relic Sword.
After coming out of Jiangdu, the Liver Emperor encountered some elite monsters along the way, including mysterious swordsmen and fierce generals, but these monsters failed to cause too much trouble to the Liver Emperor at all, and often died two or three times and then passed directly after figuring out the routine!
Obviously, after defeating the Great General, the Liver Emperor has become enlightened, and the set of mechanisms he has figured out is used to deal with these elite monsters, which can be called a dimensionality reduction blow.
It's no longer like before, when I met a cat and a dog on the side of the road, I was also abused to death.
Gu Fan looked puzzled: "Mr. Li, what is 'what situation'?" What exactly do you mean? ”
Lilith said angrily, "You're still pretending to be confused, aren't you? I mean, why does the game's combat system have a hidden mechanic? Aren't you really trying to make it more difficult for the players? ”
Gu Fan was puzzled: "There is no hidden mechanism." ”
Lilith had a dark face: "It's still hard-mouthed!" The Liver Emperor said, what is the perfect parry, there must be an extremely fast counter-slash, isn't this a hidden mechanism? ”
Gu Fan spread his hands: "What is this hidden mechanism called?" Where is this 'hidden'? Isn't this a game mechanic on the surface? ”
Lilith was shocked: "Then why did you have to design a mechanic that 'perfectly parryed and then must be counter-slashed'?" ”
Gu Fan said confidently: "I made this mechanism originally to increase the difficulty for players!"
"Mr. Li, think about it, if it weren't for this mechanic, how could players suddenly be stabbed in the process of being brainless before? How can we collect so many negative emotions? Isn't it all the credit of this combat system?
"Think about when you're playing on your own, isn't that the case?"
Lilith was stunned for a moment: "But...... But after the players found out about this, the difficulty of the game dropped! ”
Gu Fan was shocked: "Huh? What are you thinking? Do you want this combat system to trap players for the rest of their lives? With so many players, there are always a few smart people, isn't it normal to find a pattern and adapt to the rhythm? ”
Lilith continued to quibble, "Why not? Wouldn't it be nice to have all the monsters' moves faster than the player's reaction speed, and all the moves to be completely random and unpredictable? ”
Gu Fan sighed: "Mr. Li, if it is really designed like that, then this game will dissuade all the players in half an hour at most, how can it continue to generate negative emotions in these seven or eight hours?" ”
Lilith was speechless for a moment, as if it was really like this!
If the game is designed to be too difficult, and the mobs are beaten in a fancy way, and the player has no countermeasures, then everyone will soon be dissuaded.
This was originally Lilith's consistent idea, although it can also collect negative emotion points, but it is obviously not as much as Gu Fan's method.
Gu Fan's idea is that although the difficulty of the battle in the early stage is high, it will not completely kill the players, so that they can retain some hope of resistance.
The advantage of this is that it allows the player to stay for a longer period of time, such as from two hours to eight, ten, or even twenty hours, during which time there will be a steady stream of negative emotions.
The problem with this is that individual gifted players may find patterns or get used to the pace, which can lead to a sharp drop in the difficulty of the game later on.
"Didn't you take some precautions in advance for this situation?" Lilith changed the subject.
Gu Fan nodded: "Don't panic, Mr. Li, of course I weighed the pros and cons when designing the game."
"It's only a matter of time before players get used to this kind of combat system, but Li, you should think about these two questions:
"First, even if you know this combat mechanism, how many players can practice it? Like Mr. Li, can you?
"Second, even if you master this mechanism, the difficulty of the game's combat has decreased, but the game still has more than 100 bugs, and there is a mechanism for switching between two worlds, so this game still produces a lot of negative emotions!
"Isn't that still more than the negative emotions you earn by dissuading players directly in the first place?"
Lilith was stunned, and then, she wilted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her previous arrogance was gone.
"It seems that there is some truth, so it's okay......"
Gu Fan coughed lightly: "Mr. Li, I think that a cunning and powerful hell demon like you still needs to increase his strategic focus, don't always panic when you see a little problem, what's there to panic about, isn't the negative emotion still in the account?" ”
Lilith was silent for a moment, but she really couldn't find a reason to refute it, so she could only say in a shuffled voice, "Oh." ”
Gu Fan yawned and continued to brush his teeth and go to sleep.
And Lilith put aside her worries for the time being, and once again refreshed herself and prepared to watch the live broadcast of the Liver Emperor all night.
……
……
11 a.m. the next day.
Gu Fan woke up.
After getting up and washing, I ordered a takeout, and when I returned to the living room, I saw that the live broadcast of the Liver Emperor had ended, and Lilith was naturally gone.
Gu Fan could roughly guess that Lilith should be generally satisfied when she went back to hell at 6 o'clock this morning.
Because the sofa and coffee table in the living room are still in good condition, only there are some more bags of potato chips and finished Coke cans, and Gu Fan was not picked up in the middle of the night.
Gu Fan sat on the sofa, took out his mobile phone, and briefly swiped the players' comments on "Ascension" on the forum.
So far, the evaluation of "Ascension" is "mostly positive", and the rating is about 6.7 points.
As for the players' bad reviews, of course, they are mainly focused on those three points.
It's too hard to fight!
MANY BUGS!
The switch between the two worlds is completely unpredictable, and there will be hallucinations from time to time, which is too torturous!
In fact, in addition to the Liver Emperor last night, there were also many other players who discovered the combat mechanics of this game, and released a video to share with players for the first time.
This has certainly taken some players out of the way, but there are still a lot of players who are suffering.
Because even if you know this mechanic, the combat system of Ascension is still very difficult.
This is like doing a math problem, knowing the formula in advance can indeed reduce some detours, but the calculation process should not be missing a step.
Even if players know the rhythm of "Cut Three Fights and One", it still takes a lot of practice to defeat the boss.
However, Gu Fan is not worried, because the interesting part of this game has just begun!
……
6 p.m.
Lilith once again refreshed the living room of Gu Fan's villa on time and picked the lucky ones on the live broadcast platform.
At this time, neither Lecturer Ding nor Emperor Liver started broadcasting.
Lecturer Ding and Li Wenhao should not be until 8 o'clock in the evening, and Emperor Liver directly worked all night yesterday and didn't go to bed until this morning, and he didn't know when he would wake up.
So after a brief screening, Lilith locked a new streamer's live broadcast room.
This anchor's name is Wang Dawei, and his English name is David, and he is also known as "David" or "with Viagra" by fans.
However, what is more interesting is that he is not the UP master of the game area, but the UP master of the learning area.
Wang Dawei was sent to the mathematics department of Imperial Capital University through the Olympiad in high school, and studied until he graduated with a doctorate, and he also participated in some world-class memory competitions and won many championships.
In addition, Wang Dawei's level of Go and Xiangqi is also very high, although it is not ranked in the country, but in general, he also has a professional level.
In terms of IQ and memory, he is definitely at the top of the human ranks.
At this time, his videos and live broadcasts are mainly about fake some IQ and memory TV programs, and by the way, he will talk about difficult Olympiad questions.
Of course, when I have nothing to do, I also play games, chess, or talk nonsense with the barrage.
Yesterday, I don't know which good brother in the barrage recommended a game called "Ascension" to him, and then ...... He has been abused to this day.
After playing for a few hours last night, Wang Dawei continued to play this afternoon, and now he has finally passed the general.
It's just that he is a great general and different from the Liver Emperor, he is pure and lying.
Maybe it's because God is fairer, giving him a high IQ and memory, and at the same time making him play games and become a handicap.
He tried "Ascension" by himself and found that he couldn't play it at all, so he could only find other anchors to hug his thighs.
