Chapter 300: The Great Writer Abba
How the hell is this game played?
After several accidental deaths in a row, Peter was about to break his defenses, and he really couldn't figure out what he had to do to keep this damn game going.
"Hell, I can't see anything, the developers of this game are too lazy, right?"
Peter was tempted to curse because he had been on the same screen since he entered the game, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
The gaming experience is terrible!
And what he cares more about than the game experience is, can this game only show this one picture?
That's too easy, right?
Just when Peter suspects that the game is a prank, and the production team doesn't want everyone to play the game at all, a colleague says something.
"Why can't you play? Although the action is difficult, this game is still quite good, and the rendering effect has caught up with the 3A......"
Well?
Hearing this, Peter turned his head to look at his colleague's computer screen, and he was taken aback.
Walt?
Why is it that his screen is gray and he can't see anything clearly, while his colleague's screen shows a brilliant game screen?
"Because you're blind!"
The colleague said a word to wake up from the dream: "Your character is blind in both eyes randomly, then you must not be able to see the picture in the game, my character is just in a wheelchair, and his eyes are fine......"
As he spoke, his colleague showed Peter that the character he was controlling was also a male "Aba", but the difference was that this Abba had both legs amputated and could only move in a wheelchair.
It can be seen that it is difficult to move.
Although Peter's side couldn't see, at least he could walk, and even run, as long as he didn't fall into the stream or pit on the side of the road.
"That's ...... so"
Peter pondered, "Isn't it true that every player starts from a different place?" Is the initial identity completely random? ”
"Chances are!"
A colleague explained: "I just watched it, and the game story mission requires us to go out and take bus No. 17, get off at the "Jiangning Stadium" stop, and then go to find my dad for a conversation......"
The story quest is the same, and this quest Peter also received.
But apparently, he tossed and turned in front of the computer for most of the day, and never completed this task.
Even the most embarrassing part is that he couldn't even complete the first part of this "novice" task, which is to get out of the house and get on the No. 17 bus.
He can't see anything clearly, how can he know the way?
Although there is a voice narrator telling him to turn left after getting up, and go out through the second door to the door, he ...... It's so dangerous to leave home!
Peter failed several times before, all because he was unfamiliar with the road conditions, and either fell into the river and drowned, or accidentally stepped into a deep pit, or fell down the stairs and injured himself......
The situation of colleagues is slightly better, but only slightly better.
Although my colleague can see the game screen and will not have an accident like Peter, he has limited mobility in a wheelchair!
"The stamina is depleted a bit fast."
"I guess these stamina points are just enough for me to get on the bus, and a few more steps are the end of GG."
My colleague said helplessly: "This is the first time I've played this kind of game, please, is it necessary for a novice to set up such a difficult task?" ”
"Indeed, this is too dissuading for players!"
Peter thinks that the difficulty design of this game is very unreasonable, and the novice guide task is so difficult, so it must not be difficult in the future?
Who will play this kind of game?
Well, Peter and his colleagues are obviously not normal players, so they do.
Returning to his seat, Peter was serious this time.
Thinking back to the tooltip that popped up when he first entered the game, Peter realized that a cane and a guide dog were absolutely essential if he wanted to complete this beginner's task.
On the colleague's side, because of the extremely scarce physical strength, they need to carefully calculate the planning of each route, and they can't take one more step to wrongfully take the road.
The cane can tap on the ground to get information about the surrounding environment and obstacles.
Interestingly......
The cane hits the ground, and if there is an obstacle, the cane will vibrate, and the sensation of the vibration will be transmitted to Peter's gamepad.
Very special experience!
With a guide dog in one hand and a cane in the other, Abba is ready to go out.
Guide dogs will give directions, traffic lights, zebra crossings, steps and get on and off buses, and Peter can use them to board bus 17 without knowing the route.
But in the process, he also needs to constantly explore his surroundings with his blind cane, so as not to step into a pit or fall into a river without paying attention.
Bang bang!
With a little tapping, Peter finally found his senses and began to bring in the perspective of the main character, Aba.
It's a peculiar feeling.
The feedback of the beating force of the cane, as well as the vibration reminder, and the guidance of the guide dog, allow Peter to play the game even with his eyes closed.
Of course!
Accustomed to receiving visual signals with his eyes, he suddenly gave up his vision and relied only on hearing and touch to play games, which was nothing but novelty for Peter.
It's too hard, it's too hard!
Originally, Aba's travel was difficult, and as a result, he would encounter naughty bear children tease guide dogs, blind roads were occupied by social vehicles, and passing vehicles honked their horns to urge.
Fortunately, this is a beginner's guide mission, which aims to allow players to substitute for the character as soon as possible and become familiar with the operations that this character will use on a daily basis, so there is no danger along the way.
"Dogs can't be brought in the car!"
"It's a guide dog!"
"I don't care what kind of dog you are, anyway, the company has rules, dogs can't be brought in the car......"
It was too bad that the bus refused to carry Peter, and he thought that the mission had failed, and he didn't think that things would turn around.
The kind driver who passed by was willing to take Aba and the guide dog to the destination for free.
At this point, the novice guidance task is half completed, and then you only need to talk to your father and unlock the follow-up plot.
Aba's father is a construction worker who is building a stadium. Abba found him, in fact, he wanted to tell his father that he also wanted to go to work to earn money and reduce the burden on the family.
But this wish, unsurprisingly, was denied.
Aba's father said very seriously that no company or unit is willing to hire a person like Abba because he not only can't create value, but also a burden!
"Oh Shet!"
Peter scolded, "Even if you're my father, you can't say that about me, can you?" If you don't try it, how can you tell that I can't? ”
Old Deng,, you!
Abba was devastated by his father's denial and "burdensome" description, but he did not give up because of this, but planned to prove it to his father.
How to prove it?
Of course, it's to go to the talent market to find a job and prove that you have what it takes to support yourself!
"That's right, find a job!"
Peter admires the character of the main character, Abba and thinks that this is what he thinks of an inspirational protagonist.
But he never expected that the so-called plot of "finding a job" was actually a mine specially planted by the production team.
Abba tries to prove himself, but the result is doomed to failure, and he will become depressed and trapped in a cycle of self-defeat.
"No, I can't stand it."
After about two hours of playing, Peter took off his headphones in a heavy mood and took a deep breath looking at the sky outside the window.
It's too aggrieved, too depressing.
The game "Abba Story" is unlike any other game he has played before, and the whole game atmosphere is too depressing and dull.
When playing the game, if you substitute the perspective of the protagonist Aba, it is easy to be so angry that you can't speak.
It just so happened that my colleague didn't play anymore.
"Tony, how's it going?"
"You didn't find a suitable job, and you didn't even want me to wash dishes in the restaurant because I thought I was washing too slowly and I couldn't move, what about you?"
"Me ...... too"
After learning that his colleague Tony's game progress was also stuck in the section on finding a job, Peter couldn't help but complain: "I don't understand, why is this game so difficult?" ”
If it weren't for work, Peter would probably have been persuaded to quit at the novice guidance level.
He doesn't understand why "The True Story of Abba is so persuasive", isn't this a disguised increase in the threshold for players to play?
There must be very few players who have the patience to play.
So…… Why?
When a game is made, who thinks there are too many players? Why is it so hard to do it, and every level is trying to dissuade the player?
"It reminds me of the game Overcome with Bennett Fordy!"
Tony raised an eyebrow: "The same difficulty, the same frustration is strong, the difference is that that the game has a reason to attract everyone to play, after all, no one wants to go to the end to see what is there." ”
"But this game, sorry! I don't know, but what the reason for playing is that the protagonist can't do anything......"
"If that's what you're going to say, then I really have a reason to keep playing!"
Peter seemed to think of something, and said to himself: "People around me, including parents and friends, are saying that Abba is not good, I don't believe this, I hope to see the day when Abba succeeds." ”
That's why he keeps playing.
That's right!
The atmosphere of the game is very depressing, and there is a feeling of being out of breath when playing, and not seeing anything affects the game experience too much.
But...... Saying a thousand things and ten thousand, he still wants to know what kind of point Abba can achieve in the end and what height he can go!
This is absolutely fascinating.
The sense of substitution in this game is too strong, and it is easy to substitute into Aba's perspective while playing, and feel everything he has experienced.
This sense of substitution is also an important reason for attracting Peter to play.
Because he is looking forward to the reversal in the future, and he is also looking forward to the day when Abba changes his life against the sky and refreshes everyone's cognition.
What's wrong with not being able to see?
Who said that the blind Abba would not be able to do great things in the end? Hey, I don't believe in this evil today, I have to make some achievements!
The strange desire to win prompted Peter to return to the computer again.
The game goes on......
Abba found a job and found nothing, but Peter had already figured out a way to break the situation. Since Abba can't find a regular job, try to do something special.
Like, writing?
Abba began his writing career as a freelance writer. With Peter's unremitting efforts, the painful literature "My Youth Has No Love, Only Tears" was successfully published and published.
Then, the book was out of stock!
The road to success was not easy, but Peter was not discouraged and continued to strive to become a "great writer".
However, Aba's writing path was too bumpy, and it was just an accident that he was favored by the publishing house before, and the publishing house quickly gave up on Abba due to his poor grades.
Aba's new book was published, but it was rejected by major publishing houses, and some editors even bluntly said that "primary school students' composition" level.
In desperation, Peter had to change his mind and let Abba start writing something else, at least not putting all his eggs in the same basket.
Pain literature can't work, and popular people can't write, so Abba wrote "She Runs Away from Him: The Game of Peek-a-boo of the Boss's Wife".
Wuhu, this time it finally succeeded!
As the saying goes, there is no way out of doubt, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, Peter is the most desperate and helpless, and the game is on the verge of death, he finally fights back to the limit and finds the most suitable development direction for Aba.
Although this direction is a bit abstract, I just said that the book is published and sold well!
50,000 copies for the first printing, 100,000 copies for the first printing, and ...... Aba's first book after the transformation was a great success, not only earning money, but also gaining great fame.
"Whew! I thought this game was so difficult, so that's it? ”
After glancing at the time, Peter was greatly disdainful, it turned out that it had only been five hours, and the game flow was so short, he had thought that the game was very large.
Now it seems that the volume is not large!
How big can a game that can be completed in five hours? For a veteran game editor like him, it's a splash!
Aba, who has achieved great success in his career, is also in love, and soon marries a "like-minded" girl.
Peter thought that the plot of "Abba Story" should end here.
After all, isn't this kind of ending exactly the common happy end ending method of movie plots? If you continue to act, what else can you play?
It can't be that the story of the protagonist Abba is finished, and the story of Aba's son will be next, right? That's!
Obviously!
Peter's prediction of the game's plot was not accurate because he miscalculated that the game was far more than five hours, and it was about three times as long.
Abba got married, but soon suffered a huge setback, and the wife who had just married turned out to be a bad person, and all his money was swept away, and his whereabouts were unknown.
Abba has not only returned to square one, but has even incurred a foreign debt of up to one million.
What's worse is that because of the involution of the industry and the sudden change in the market direction, the "Wife and Boss Literature" he wrote is no longer popular, and no readers are willing to pay for it.
"Fack, Fack!"
When Peter played here, he was so angry that he didn't hold back on the spot, and he directly slammed the handle on the table in a violent rage, his eyes flashing with terrifying anger.
Don't play anymore, get your money back!
This game really can't be played.,Whoever likes to play it.,Anyway, he can't play anymore.。
Abadu is already so miserable, why can't the plot be gentle with him? Which is "The True Story of Aba", wouldn't it be more appropriate to change the name to "The Passion of Aba"?
