Chapter 303: It's Broken, I Can't Tell It!
The game that I bought for 198 yuan, and before I played it for two hours, I was imprisoned for breaking into a private house + stealing property, and Liang Xuan's experience was not miserable.
When he posted the screenshot of the game on the Internet with great sadness and indignation, and tried his best to complain about the game "The True Story of Aba", hoping to win the sympathy of netizens, he was greeted with ridicule from the whole network.
"Laugh to death! This should be the first player on the network to unlock the Silver Bracelet achievement, right? ”
"RPG players are furious, how can there be players being captured with such a mechanism, and can they happily loot NPCs?"
"NPC: Listen to me and thank you, because of you, it warms the four seasons......"
"Any evil will be brought to justice! I wasn't interested in this game, but I have to play it! ”
The ridicule from netizens from all walks of life made Liang Xuan's blood pressure soar.
He's so miserable, isn't there anyone to comfort him? As an RPG player who is used to being overbearing in the game world, when has he ever suffered such a grievance?
Chill the breath!
It's just an NPC, and the player's uncle came into your house to rummage through the cabinets to give you face, how can you resist and report the crime?
This session of netizens can't count on it.
The game "The True Story of Abba " is too realistic, and it is precisely because of the realism that Liang Xuan has no choice but to go to prison honestly.
It is impossible to escape from prison, and three years is too long, so Liang Xuan simply deleted this archive and opened a new file to "change his mind and be a new person".
I don't know if it's too good luck or too bad luck, Liang Xuan, who deleted the old archive and built a new archive, was randomly "hearing impaired" this time.
The start is almost identical!
The only difference is that after learning from the failed experience of the previous archive, Liang Xuan obeyed the law this time and decided to take the right path and be a good person.
But he faced the same problem as the previous save, that is, the mission was difficult to do, and the plot could hardly be advanced. Due to his hearing impairment, he is unable to obtain complete mission information and mission descriptions through the game's dialogue lines.
It's going back in circles.
Liang Xuan will either open a new file now, or he will continue to play hard, walk through the entire map, and he will definitely find the quest NPC with an exclamation mark on his head.
"Made, I don't believe in this evil!"
Liang Xuan was not convinced, he didn't believe that the task process of this B game was designed to be so shitty, it was impossible for two consecutive saves to fail the novice guide task, right?
If that's the case, then the game won't be eligible to stay in his game inventory, and the bad reviews + refunds won't be thanks!
I'm on the bar with this game today!
He wants to see if this game can be played, and this task can't be stuck for a lifetime, right?
Liang Xuan, the head iron, continued to explore along the route of the previous save, looking around for quest NPCs that might exist in a corner of the map.
The routes are all the same.
The only difference is that he searched more carefully in the last archive, and the proper bandits entered the village, and they didn't even let go of the roadside garbage cans, and they had to pick up a piece of dog shit on the side of the road to taste the saltiness.
But this time, he definitely won't search so carefully, just pass by and take a look.
As for the "banditry" behavior of breaking into the NPC's house and rummaging through the cabinets, it is even more impossible, he is not the kind of person who does not have a long memory, how can he fall twice in the same place?
"Huh! Wait a minute......"
Just as Liang Xuan was manipulating the protagonist Abba and passing by a fruit shop, he suddenly stopped and looked at the fruit shop next to him.
In the game screen, an NPC man wearing a blue striped shirt is shopping for fruit.
There is nothing unusual about this scene.
After all, he'd seen it once in the last save, and it's not surprising that there are free-roaming NPCs like this all over the map.
Moreover, the NPCs in "The True Story of Aba" have a very low degree of intelligence, and can basically only act according to the preset trajectory, which is not as smart as the NPCs in "Divine Grace Continent" at all.
Of course!
The reason why Liang Xuan stopped was not simply because of this NPC, but more because of the bunch of purple grapes that this NPC was holding in his hand.
This scene sounds familiar, huh?
It's not surprising that this NPC appears in the fruit shop, as the trajectory of the movement is preset, and if there is no player intervention or trouble, the NPC will be like this every day.
But the bunch of purple-skinned grapes he was holding in his hand was a bit of a coincidence!
NPC will act according to a preset trajectory, and he will definitely come to the fruit shop, but what he comes to buy at the fruit shop will have a bit of a random factor.
Take 10,000 steps back......
Even if this NPC comes to the fruit shop to buy grapes is part of the plan, no matter how many times he comes, he will buy this bunch of grapes, so the timing is too right.
During the last archive, Liang Xuan passed by this fruit shop and happened to see this NPC picking up a bunch of grapes and preparing to check out. This time I opened a new archive, and when I passed by this fruit shop, it was still exactly the same scene, even the bunch of grapes in my hand was exactly the same.
Trivia, NPCs will move!
Because NPCs move, they don't stay in one place for too long, and they can't be present in the fruit shop all the time.
Then here's the problem!
Why did Liang Xuan pass by this place twice and see this NPC buying grapes?
Glancing at the game time in the upper right corner, Liang Xuan was thoughtful.
He didn't know how long it took him to get to the fruit shop in the last archive, but he thought it would be much slower than it was now.
If the time is the same, it means that the game has not changed at all, it is nothing more than a set of templates, and at a certain time, this NPC will come to the fruit shop to buy grapes.
But the timing is inconsistent, then there is a problem.
Either the NPC has a cycle of action, meaning he returns to the fruit shop every once in a while, or the game has changed, and what happened in the previous save doesn't necessarily happen in this save.
Anyway, being idle is idle, so Liang Xuan simply made an attempt, that is, to squat in front of the fruit shop to see if this NPC would return after leaving the fruit shop.
As it turned out, he wouldn't!
The NPC left the fruit shop after purchasing the grapes and did not return for nearly an hour.
This also confirmed Liang Xuan's guess that if you create a new archive, the content of the game will also change, and it will not be exactly the same as the previous one.
"Try again......"
Probably thinking that this was not enough to explain anything, Liang Xuan came to a trash can with a unique position.
Last archive He rummaged through the trash can, which contained plastic bottles worth five cents.
This time, however, when he opened the trash can, there was nothing inside......
"What does that mean?"
Liang Xuan's brows tightened, which was somewhat unexpected by him.
Because he opened a new save!
What's the point of archiving?
Why do stand-alone games have two or three weeks? Of course, it's because players can use the save mechanic to get a "reborn" cheat in the game!
Do you understand the prophet?
Players who have already cleared the level once, and then go to open a new file, that is a proper "speedrun" challenge. Because he is already familiar with the process, he knows what to do next with his eyes closed.
This is also a big reason why single-player games are not as playable as online games, because single-player games lack "change", and the first time you play it is indeed full of unknowns and novelties, but once you clear the level, this game loses all suspense.
And online games, especially those that emphasize competitive PVP, are full of unknowns and suspense every time you play, at least for a while.
But now, "The True Story of Abba Story" has broken the inherent cognition, and opening a new archive will not be able to obtain the plug-in of the "Unknown Prophet".
Why is this happening?
Liang Xuan was puzzled, he didn't even know if this change was good or bad, because ...... He hasn't even completed the novice guidance task, how can he be qualified to evaluate these?
"Forget it, whatever!"
Unknown changes have taken place in the new save, causing players to lose a certain amount of the "Prophet of Unknown" ability, which has little impact on Liang Xuan.
He can't remember the lottery numbers!
The so-called unpredictable prophet, to put it bluntly, is the game strategy and experience! But he didn't even complete the first task, where is the strategy and experience to learn from?
Besides!
The changes in some side details will not directly affect the game plot and the main quest of the game, so you can play how you want to play.
Keep exploring the map!
Not bothering to think about the doorway behind this, Liang Xuan continued to explore the map, looking for the mysterious quest NPC.
"That's right!"
In the process of searching, Liang Xuan suddenly had a thought in his mind, and muttered to himself: "If the plot of the game and the main quest remain the same, is it the same for everyone's novice quest?" ”
Made, why is he so stupid?
Why don't you measure the game map with your feet and wander around the world? At that time, go to the Tianba community to search for a guide, don't you know where the quest NPC is?
Liang Xuan, who suddenly came to his senses, couldn't wait to slap himself in the face, feeling extremely ashamed of his stupidity.
Such a simple truth, why didn't he think of it?
The main quest is related to the development of the game's plot, whether it is a stand-alone game or an online game, follow the strategy and you're done.
Switch to the browser, open the Tianba community and search for the strategy of "The True Story of Aba", and soon Liang Xuan found dozens of pages of posts.
"Found it, I'll go ......"
After clicking on the post with the highest number of replies, Liang Xuan quickly found the answer he wanted.
The novice guide task, sure enough, everyone is the same, all of them left home to find Aba's father at Jiangning Stadium.
The landlord also said.
Most of the tasks in the early stage of "The True Story of Aba" are the same, just refer to the strategy. Only after opening the career line, according to different career routes, different main quests will be diverted.
Now rest assured!
According to the tips of the strategy post, Liang Xuan rushed to Jiangning Stadium non-stop to find Aba's father to submit the task.
"Bus No. 17 goes directly to ......"
"Players with less stamina are advised to take the construction site trail after getting off the bus, the distance is nearly halfway there, and the stamina is consumed, but it is not suitable for visually impaired players."
According to the tips of the strategy post, Liang Xuan boarded the No. 17 bus to the destination and rushed to the designated mission location full of excitement.
All right!
After tossing back and forth for so long, and even squatting in prison for three years, I can finally complete the novice guidance task and get out of the sea of suffering and get on the right track.
Sure enough, you have to look at the strategy!
How can I play a game without reading the guide? If he hadn't read the strategy, he wouldn't be wandering around the map at this time, how could he know that the target NPC was located in the stadium?
Probably the only downside is that watching the guide and playing the game will lose a kind of fun of exploring the unknown.
But then again.
"The True Story of Abba is such a torturous game", who wants to explore the unknown? Isn't it fragrant in one step?
Anyway, Liang Xuan was fed up, he didn't think that the strategy would degrade his game experience at all, but felt that the existence of the strategy was a great thing.
"By the way, Jiangning Stadium is so far away, if I don't look at the strategy, when will I have to find it?"
When taking the bus, Liang Xuan turned on the M key and looked at the game map, and said with emotion: "It's really a pig design, and the novice task spans half of the map, which can be figured out by people...... Yes? Wait a minute! ”
I just wanted to complain about the weirdness of the game design, a novice mission, which requires players to cross half a map to arrive, which is simply too perverted.
But before he finished his words, he glanced at the afterglow and was suddenly stunned by the map interface displayed by the M key.
What's going on?
Is the map showing a bug?
Why did he see two "Jiangning Stadiums" on the map, one 2.63KM away from the protagonist and the other 32.1KM away from the protagonist?
Wait a minute......
It's not just the stadium!
Liang Xuan looked at it and instantly saw the problem.
It's not just the stadium that has gone from one to two, it should be said that the entire game map has gone from one to two.
That's right!
When he opens the M button, he reveals a "doubled" version of the game map, which is actually two "complete" maps stitched together and overlapped.
There are two landmarks and locations on the map.
Some locations, close to each other, and others, although the same name, are far apart.
Like the stadium!
On the map, the two stadiums are more than thirty kilometers apart, one is nearby, and the other is on the other side of the map.
He only saw the farthest stadium just now, so he complained about the game design brain-dead, and the novice mission actually had to cross half a map to complete.
But now, that doesn't seem to be the case.
Which of the two stadiums is real? Which one has the quest NPC? This question, it doesn't seem to be written in the strategy at all!
Liang Xuan, who had a messy brain, could only comfort himself with the map display bug.
That must be a map error!
How could there be two stadiums? No matter how idle a game company is, it's impossible to add two identical building models in the same scene, right?
He got on the bus.
According to the description of the strategy post, the terminal stop of the No. 17 bus is the stadium, and as long as you get on this bus, it is impossible not to find the mission goal.
Thinking of this, Liang Xuan instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Before he complained about the spicy chicken game, he could even report an error on the game map and make this kind of low-level bug, only to see another bus whizzing past on the screen, and the rear of the car was impressively displayed [17 Jiangning No. 1 Middle School - Jiangning Stadium].
Liang Xuan: "......"
Oh no, you're No. 17, so which bus am I taking now?
