451. This is clearly a monster [hunter] man
β¦β¦
After falling to the ground, Hasegawa will always take him to eat and walk around the village together, mainly to introduce the general composition of the entire Kokote Village and the important NPCs in each location.
Players can buy weapons and equipment in the shop, and they can also go to the blacksmith to craft equipment, but they will need to collect enough materials to deliver to them before crafting new equipment.
For example, to create a basic [Bone Knife], you need 3 small keels.
In the game, you can query the materials, and then Yamada Masahru knows how the small keel is probably dropped and which monsters need to be hit.
β¦β¦
After some conversations, Massaharu Yamada has a certain understanding of the world.
This is a world full of powerful monsters, of course, these monsters are not necessarily a threat to humans, many different kinds of monsters are actually herbivorous creatures, they are only in the process of migration, or for their own needs to attack humans.
And most of the time, if you build the defenses of the village and the city strong enough, you can basically prevent most monsters from invading.
Only a small number of carnivorous monsters, even very large and destructive monsters, have the potential to pose a threat to the village.
At this time, the village needs to send the so-called [Monster Hunter] to complete the hunting task and eliminate hidden dangers.
Keep your stronghold safe in a world full of monsters,
Gradually a kind of people have emerged in the colonies who are out and about gathering materials they need, or protecting the village during monster raids.
Although they are not widely and formally defined, they are collectively referred to as "hunters." β
More than 100 years ago, the village of Kokot was plagued by a horned dragon around it, and people fell into panic and did not dare to go out.
A young man who was not a "defender" left the village decisively, and spent a month hunting the one-horned dragon alone with a one-handed sword, and cut off the true red horn of the one-horned dragon as proof, and from then on, it was said that if you want to become a truly powerful hunter, you must successfully hunt the one-horned dragon alone.
When the young man returned to the village, he was warmly welcomed and dubbed "the hero of Cocot".
After that, the young people formed a crusade to go out to hunt monsters, and took the lead in defining their own position, the hunter who hunted monsters.
Later, in order to distinguish the hunters from other units, the town defense force for law and order was redivided into two classes: the Stronghold guerrillas in melee combat and the Stronghold archers in long-range combat.
While defining their position, they are also active all over the continent, hunting monsters one by one, and faintly becoming the leader of the hunter profession.
However, during a certain hunt, due to unknown reasons, their mission failed, and the consequence of the failure was the loss of a teammate forever, and it is said that the teammate who died was the fiancΓ©e of the Cocott Hero, and the huge blow caused the Cocott Hero to retire and return to the village of Cocott to live incognito.
β¦β¦
And now, [Let's go eat] has arrived in this village as a novice hunter.
In this world, a hunter guild with a very complete system has been formed, and an ancient dragon investigation team has also been established, but there is only a small stronghold in this village, and there are no large guilds and powerful bosses, and the most powerful one is the village chief.
Massaharu Yamada and Hasegawa always reported what they had seen along the way to the village chief, and he said that he would send the news to the Hunters' Guild so that they could keep a close eye on the movements of the molten mountain dragon.
It's really strange to say, an ancient dragon like the Molten Mountain Dragon, which may have survived for thousands of years, has not appeared for many years, but it has inexplicably appeared in the middle of the sea, maybe something strange has happened.
Each Elder Dragon is actually very special, they can be said to be the most amazing species in this world, for this level of Elder Dragon, humans are too small, probably like humans look at ants, in fact, it is unlikely to affect them because of human activities.
Judging from the information that the village chief knows, the molten mountain dragon has its own unique activity trajectory, but this time it seems to be a deviation from their previous trajectory, so pay close attention to it.
As long as humans don't interfere with it, there shouldn't be any big problems.
In this way, the molten mountain dragon became an opening introduction to the game, planting a seed of curiosity in Yamada Masaharu's heart, but as the village chief said, the current Yamada Masaharu is still too weak, and humans can't have any effect on this ancient beast, so they can only put it aside.
However, Yamada Masaharu has a strong premonition in his heart that he will definitely meet again in the future.
There's no reason for Pokeni to put a useless thing in the opening chapter, and to play such an important role.
β¦β¦
The village hasn't had hunters for a long time, but something has happened recently - big or small, and Pokeni offers random missions for players to choose from, such as killing the Blue Dragon King or Booming Dragon.
The Blue Speed Dragon King is a relatively easy task, but the Dragon Boom is a bit scary.
Yamada Masaharu took the task.,Found to solve a guy called [Boom Dragon].,It's said to be a monster that has recently appeared near the village.,If you don't solve it.,,It's likely to cause large-scale damage to the village.,But it's been a long time since the village had a hunter.,Now there's a heroine.,You can entrust this task to her.γ
So far, this is the first major goal, and it can be achieved in the future.
Masasharu Yamada still doesn't know anything about what he is about to face.
So after a simple conversation with the village chief, [Let's go eat] decided to stay in this village, and took the village chief's money to buy some equipment to solve some trivial things.
β¦β¦
Next, Fu Niang said that she could view the task there, the task type is divided into 1 to 9 stars, corresponding to monsters of different difficulties, at present, in view of the fact that the player is still in the novice stage, the later level tasks have not yet been opened, it is recommended that [go eat] to do low-star level tasks first.
The first task given to Masahru Yamada is [Collect Raw Meat X3], which has a time limit of one hour.
From the big tree at the entrance of the village, you can find a road to the wilderness.
So according to the requirements, Yamada Masaharu first took the basic equipment and props given to him by the village chief, and then followed the guidance all the way to the village entrance tree.
In addition to making Yamada Masaharu more familiar with the world view of the entire game, this teaching also gave him instructions on how to operate the minimap.
In the village, you can rotate and adjust the perspective while walking with a double joystick, which is quite basic, and in "Princess Mononoke", Yamada Masahru is already very familiar with it.
It can only be said that Pokeni's game is really well done, and it is gradual, the previous games lay the foundation for future games, and old players can quickly pick it up and there is almost no difficulty.
And for novice players, Pokeni is still taken care of, in the initial interface of the game, players can choose according to their own situation, if it is an old player, it will save a certain number of operation steps, and if you are a novice player, if you don't even have experience such as Princess Mononoke or Witcher before, then in "Monster Hunter" will also be taught from scratch.
Of course, these teaching tasks are not completely boring and boring, but accompanied by interesting plots that allow players to learn skills easily and naturally in the game.
This is a good reflection of Pokeni's production skills.
In this world, in addition to Nintendo, Pokeni is actually very good at making games from the player's point of view, thinking about the players.
It's hard to dislike this dedication and dedication alone.
Yamada Masaharu is also an old pokeni player who has been a fan of P Company step by step.,Until now,It's hard for him to find a game that is more attentive than P Society, more immersive, and more able to integrate into it in a short period of time.γ
β¦β¦
According to the mission guide, Yamada Masaharu first went to the [Forest Hill] to hunt and get a few pieces of raw meat back.
Raw meat can be obtained by defeating the monsters in the forest hills.
When I came to the entrance of the village, I clicked to jump, and after the screen switched, Masahru Yamada stood in an empty forest.
This is the initial camp, which is safe in the camp, and can help players save time later, you can jump between different camps, for example, when you play far behind the map and drive a lot, it will be a bit of a waste of time to run a long distance every time, you can jump camp to help players teleport.
In addition, there is a huge box in the camp, and Yamada Masaharu can store some props or equipment in it for future hunting.
The first time I came to [Mori no Hill], there was a cutscene:
The camera starts at the player's starting position and then climbs into the air, overlooking the land:
In the middle of the forest hill there is a lush jungle with moss and many plants that are taller than a person's knee.
And by the wide river, a group of herbivorous dragons with long antlers on their heads were drinking and foraging, and occasionally one or two raised their heads to look at the sky.
Then rubbing each other with long necks, Yamada Masaharu didn't know for a while if these guys were mating intimately or fighting.
However, this scene further deepens the ecological sense of Monster Hunter.
Not far away, there were flocks of wild boars running happily, and birds were chirping everywhere, as if they were in the middle of the wilderness.
The camera returns to Masaharu Yamada, and the mission officially begins.
In the lower right corner, there is a progress hint for the mission: 0/3 of raw meat.
The hunt begins.
Yamada Masaharu didn't think much about it, took out the weapon and held it in his hand according to the prompts, and rushed towards the nearest herbivorous dragon.
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Continuous attack, [Let's go eat] Holding the iron sword in his right hand and holding the shield against the herbivorous dragon in his left hand is a triple slash, step by step.
The attacked herbivorous dragon immediately let out a terrible cry.
And it seems to feel the murderous aura of the players, and the partners who originally graze with this herbivorous dragon scatter and flee.
Compared to the Witcher 2, the operation of the Monster Hunter is a little more cumbersome, a bit like a muscle car developed by the United States, it looks full of horsepower and is very powerful, but it is very difficult to turn around or something, and you always have to run forward according to inertia for a while, and then you can come back.
The current monster hunter gives Yamada Masaharu this feeling.,Once the attack button is pressed twice.,It's very difficult to take it back.,[Go eat] You won't stop until the whole set of attack moves is done.γ
This makes Masahru Yamada not particularly adaptable.
But it's not bad, because the monsters encountered are actually more or less similar, with a long forward and backward swing, and for a long time.
For example, the herbivorous dragon he is facing now will have several different attacks: one is to charge, running towards you, lowering his head and pushing you with his tentacles, and the other is to swing his tail and suddenly turn and sweep you to the ground with his huge tail, but each time he attacks, there will be a long preparation action.
In the time it had been roaring with its head down, Massaharu Yamada had enough to kill it.
After killing the first herbivorous dragon, Massaharu Yamada skinned it according to the game's instructions.
Of course, it is impossible for the game to really have such a bloody scene as [peeling], almost meaninglessly, let the players make a crouching and knife pulling action, and then the obtained material items will appear.
When the materials and items are collected, the corpse of the herbivorous dragon in front of it will naturally disappear.
After a few battles, Massaharu Yamada was given 3 pieces of raw meat and could go back to the mission.
Gee.
It's quite easy.,This time the new game made by Pokeni is not very difficult.γ
This is also natural, after all, it is just the mission of a star.
Monster Hunter's difficulty gradient is quite good in the game, unlike Miyazaki's old thief, where the threshold for beginners is very high.
If you think about it, Monster Hunter has been designed for you directly from 1 star to 9 stars, even if it is some action game novices, at least the experience in the early game is still very good.
β¦β¦
After delivering the raw meat task, the village chief asked him to get a few keels and come back.
Yamada Masasharu slaughtered and beat several pieces of raw meat one after another.
While he was about to take down a herbivorous dragon, several small, velociraptor monsters suddenly popped out of the woods.
Groove ......
Masasharu Yamada was taken aback by these blue speed dragons that suddenly appeared.
It almost jumped out of their own faces, and they seemed to spot it and roar after quickly attacking the herbivorous dragon in front of them.
Even if these guys look smaller than the herbivorous dragon, it makes Yamada Masahru tremble.
The Blue Speedosaurus knew at a glance that it was a ferocious carnivore, and several of them were coordinating with each other to scatter around him, ready to attack him.
The monster AI in the game is doing quite well.,They can actually make Yamada Masaharu feel an invisible sense of oppression.,Although these blue speed dragons are game monsters.,But each other's position and cooperation,It looks like an intelligent life form.γ
Yamada Masaharu also experienced the food chain up close, and the magic of nature lies in this, there are herbivores, and there are naturally carnivorous creatures, which is also where Pokeni does well, so that Yamada Masaharu can immediately experience the potential rules of the jungle in the world of monster hunting.
Even without the existence of hunters, the world still operates according to its own laws.
β¦β¦
These blue speedosaurs are much more powerful than herbivorous dragons, because they are smaller in size and more agile in their movements, and there will be some pressure to face the attacks of several monsters at the same time.
Fortunately, Massaharu Yamada has already experienced the training of Princess Mononoke and the Witcher in a series of action games, and now even if he has not become an old hunter, he already has a very rich experience in action combat and the ability to deal with crises.
In this case, you can't be surrounded, but you have to find a place with your back to the mountain, make sure that these guys are in your line of sight, and then break them down one by one.
As a monster in the early stage of the game, the Blue Speed Dragon is actually relatively simple, so it didn't take much time, and Masahru Yamada easily dealt with them.
Follow the mission instructions, hunt monsters, collect materials, and deliver the mission.
It didn't take long for the one-star mission to be cleared by Massaharu Yamada.
After that, there is a two-star ......
Massaharu Yamada hit 3 stars all the way and personally felt very good.
After killing the Blue Speed Dragon King, Yamada Masasharu also created a new outfit.
β¦β¦
At this time, the village chief gave him a new task-
Collect whitening mushrooms.
The whitening mushroom is in the depths of the forest hill, and Masahru Yamada didn't run too far before.
This time, I went further into the forest, and almost the entire forest hill was explored.
After a big detour, Yamada Masaharu finally found something like whitening mushrooms in the depths of the deep woods.
But just as he was about to collect the mushrooms and go back to the errand, a loud roar came from the TV.
Masasharu Yamada was taken aback.
I saw a behemoth in the sky above suddenly fall, with a body almost ten meters long, rough and thick skin, and a pair of wide wings, spitting flames from its mouth, and then falling in front of him.
Roar!!
When Masahru Yamada saw this guy, he couldn't help but tremble.
Isn't this the giant monster on the cover of the disc?
At the E3 electronics show, pokeni demonstrated once, and he looked more similar to this guy, except that the demonstration was a female fire dragon at the time, and it was a male fire dragon on the cover of the game.
In other words, Yamada Masaharu encountered a male fire dragon.
β¦β¦
At this point, the difficulty starts to rise sharply.
The male fire dragon flew over and directly knocked [Let's go eat] to the ground.
Seeing that the amount of blood was reduced in an instant.
Massaharu Yamada couldn't help but feel a tightening heart.
What the heck?!
Is this guy so scary?
Moreover, how could you encounter such a powerful monster all at once? It's actually quite smooth before this, and I've never been so embarrassed to deal with the monster Yamada Masahru before.
But he didn't think much about it, it was estimated that the timing of this guy's appearance just now was too abrupt, causing him to be unprepared and was caught off guard.
So Massaharu Yamada regrouped and prepared to kill this guy.
The thought of the more powerful the guy, the better the fall, and Yamada Shoji was still a little excited in his heart.
However, as soon as he fought, he realized that it was not the case at all.
I saw that after the male fire dragon gave him two paws and flipped to the ground, the whole dragon flew into the air and fell into flames on the ground, which made Yamada scream.
All of a sudden, the amount of blood was reduced again.
And Masasharu Yamada has several attacks that have been missed, and when he really hit it, Masahru Yamada found out-
His own attack was like that of Gua Sha, and the male fire dragon's health bar was only reduced slightly, which was in stark contrast to the ease and ease with which he had fought other monsters before.
What the heck?
This guy is too strong, right?
Am I just here to pick mushrooms? How did you come across a guy of this level?
Is this really what I can beat?
Yamada Masaharu had a huge doubt in his heart.
This doubt didn't last long, and he was attacked twice by the male fire dragon again, and [Let's go eat] let out a muffled snort and fell to the ground.
Declared a failure.
After the health was cleared, Elu used a cart to pull [Let's Go Eat] back to the camp.
οΌοΌοΌοΌ
How does this game have a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu?
No, no, the mission isn't done yet.
Yamada Masaharu summed up the experience of defeat just now, it must be that he didn't grasp the law of this guy's actions, so he didn't dodge several attacks, and it would be good if he got used to it.
And soβ
He died several more times.
Damn it!!!
After dying a few more times, Yamada Masaharu had a wonderful illusion in his heart, as if he had played somewhere.
Oh, by the way, Pokeni's previous Witcher 2 was like this, monsters tortured players to death, and even many times you were killed if you weren't careful.
Damn it.
Is this a monster hunter or a monster hunter?!
Do you want to be so real?
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
In the afternoon, I re-played the first generation of Monster Hunter.,Mainly to collect materials.,Unfortunately, it's a bit too much time.γ
There is no update tonight
Thank you
See you tomorrow (end of chapter)
