Chapter 122 Wonderful! wonderful! wonderful!
I have a relatively high G-spot for games. Please forgive me for describing myself in such straightforward and even vulgar terms.
This is a sentence that Xu Xiaolin often talks about.
And this is indeed the case.
As a professional media reviewer, Xu Xiaolin has worked from editor to chief editor over the years, always striving to be meticulous and penetrating in every review.
Furthermore, he has always been like Captain Dragonfly, never being impulsive and never missing out on any advantages or disadvantages; his evaluations are absolutely fair and beautiful.
But as his experience continues to grow, as he said himself, his excitement level also continues to increase.
If he had seen the exoskeleton setting and dual endings of "Insect Tide 2100" a few years ago, he might have been excited.
It can be done now.
He always felt that there was no game in the world that could arouse his amazement.
The so-called electronic sheep wilt is nothing more than this.
until-
【The explosion core is ready! 】
Xu Xiaolin controlled the BT to hold the machine gun rifle, turned on the burst core to increase the rate of fire to the limit, and watched the enemy Titan's body shoot out sparks and its health bar disappear.
A feeling of comfort and transparency that he had never experienced before, extending from the soles of his feet all the way to Tianling Gai!
Oh yeah—
Xu Xiaolin couldn't help but let out a low groan in the somatosensory cabin.
It's like taking a sip of ice-cold beer in the sweltering August heat, or like stripping off and soaking in a hot bath in the dead of winter.
As BT's module ultimate move was activated, at this moment, whatever troubles and fatigue he felt were shot out with the rapid fire rate of the machine gun bullets.
Transparent.
Xu Xiaolin never thought of it.
A shooting game.
It can actually make people feel "transparent"!
In order to rendezvous with Major Anderson, he set out on the journey with BT.
According to the signal, Major Anderson is still sixty kilometers away from them, and they must first pass through a huge factory.
At this time, they were standing in front of the sluice gate of the huge factory drainage system.
As the last enemy Titan fell apart, Xu Xiaolin looked back and breathed a sigh of relief.
I saw behind me, on the hundred-meter-long sewer channel, the corpses of IMC soldiers were strewn across the field, and the enemy's tattered Titans fell left and right, emitting billowing smoke and fire.
A hearty encounter with a long aftertaste!
Especially when his comrades in the resistance army gathered around him and praised and admired him——
‘That’s great, sir! If it weren't for you, we might have been completely wiped out! ’
‘Thank God we still have you, sir! ’
‘That’s a big help, sir! ’
‘It’s an honor to fight with you! ’
‘…’
Whether they are riflemen or captains, they all call themselves "sir".
This makes Xu Xiaolin, who is an acting pilot and actually a rifleman, feel a little ashamed.
However, it’s more about joy and excitement.
You used to protect me, now it’s my turn to protect you.
The change of identity made Xu Xiaolin feel extremely strange.
Nodding to say goodbye to his comrades, Xu Xiaolin drove the BT towards the depths of the spillway.
Here, he got what he wished and picked up the first component of BT - [Strong].
This thing is simply a self-aiming plug-in.
As long as you mark the opponent with three rounds, the tracking missile will automatically track the enemy.
Very outrageous.
In this level, he also fully understood Gu Sheng’s solution to the problem that “mechas are too powerful and players’ interest drops too quickly” in mecha games:
It’s okay if I don’t let you use the mecha.
Here, Gu Sheng used a very tricky but very reasonable method to drive the player out of the cockpit—
Mechas are too big to fly over walls like Pilot, so Pilot needs to enter the factory to open a floodgate for BT.
During the battle, BT will not be completely invisible.
Will always guide you, provide you with suggestions, help you scan for enemies, and always remind you to be careful and pay attention to safety.
Like an extremely reliable comrade-in-arms.
Although he is not with the player, he can make the player feel that he is always there.
So much so that Xu Xiaolin, such a rigid person, said sincerely after seeing BT again: "I'm so happy to see you again BT."
And BT never lets its pilots stand out:
【I'm also happy to see you again】
Fighting is always the best way to cultivate feelings.
Of course, although BT always maintains his control, sometimes he is not so "obedient" due to program logic conflicts.
For example, at the end of the level, Xu Xiaolin was waiting for the gate to fully open, and was chased all over the street by groups of explosive spiders, asking BT to fire to assist him.
It will refuse to provide help on the grounds that [firing at the pilot's location without authorization would violate Agreement 3].
A bit silly.
But it proves that in the world of BT, Protocol Three is above all else.
The most important thing is that in this level, he felt Gu Sheng's almost outrageous precise control over the player's psychology.
Gu Sheng knows very well that after the short separation in this level, players will start to miss the powerful BT again.
Hence, Ken, a strong man in a cloak who had fought against Lastimosa before, appeared on the scene driving his own Titan.
Players can’t wait to board the Titan, and it’s another exciting mecha BOSS battle.
The newly obtained [powerful] component finally has a use.
At the sound of semi-automatic rifle fire, the rocket core started.
The bombarding visual experience makes people’s adrenaline surge and become addicted.
It can be said!
Let’s play here!
Xu Xiaolin’s evaluation of this game is 99 points.
That’s right.
˜Almost close to a perfect score.
Although Xu Xiaolin knew that as a well-known domestic game reviewer and the editor-in-chief of T1-level game media, such a rating was really outrageous.
But it is what it is.
From a plot perspective, Captain Lastimosa, whom Gu Sheng created in half an hour, is flesh and blood.
The design of the message on the tombstone is unique and makes people’s eyes red!
In terms of industrial quality, the precise picture performance and the unique full-sensory technology of Yiyu x2 make people immersed in the scene.
Whether it is the quality of the picture or the feedback from the Titan mecha, they are all meticulous and full of experience!
In terms of gameplay, there is a clear division of labor between Pilot and Titan. Both sides have their own strengths, and the division of labor and collaboration are clear.
The joking and chatting with BT, this cute partner, during the battle adds a lot to the game!
And now!
The only thing missing is "level design".
From the beginning to now!
Including training levels and teaching levels, there are three levels in total.
Although these three levels are full of experience, to be honest, Xu Xiaolin did not feel the level design language that was refreshing to him.
“Oh, forget it, come to think of it,”
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaolin smiled secretly and said to himself:
“Perhaps my requirements are too high,”
“After all, after playing it this far, this game is already considered to be extremely good,”
“The story quality and gameplay are good, but I actually want the level design to be unique,”
“It’s really… a bit greedy.”
Speaking!
Xu Xiaolin shook his head and drove Titan toward the entrance of a factory deep in a huge cave inside the mountain:
“Where is this, BT?”
【BT: Loading data...Unknown】
【BT: However, according to the marking point, we must pass through this factory facility to meet up with Major Anderson. This is the only way to survive】
While talking, Xu Xiaolin also picked up another set of Titan components [Blaze] at the entrance of the factory.
Hub Xu Xiaolin was about to test the new components when he heard Sam's voice coming from the intercom:
"Ash, I'm Sam, got it? Over!"
Since Xu Xiaolin defeated Ken of the Apex Corps, at this moment, the voice channel of the mercenary group was also monitored by him. The question quickly received a response from the woman named Ash:
“Please tell me when you receive it.”
“I called Ken but he still didn’t respond,” Sam said: “I think this rebel pilot wants to be a hero to save the world, haha, he should be heading towards you now, kill him.”
ˆ "Understand" the woman's voice came out again: "It's over."
——
Xu Xiaolin, who listened to the conversation, couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Xin said that Supernova also designed its image in the game too cleverly.
Just after he didn't reply, he realized that Ken had been killed by him.
Perhaps, he has also learned about his eavesdropping on the mercenary group's channel.
There is nothing to say.
BT thinks so too.
[BT: SamGu, he is a war criminal that the resistance has been pursuing, and is now employed by IMC. He is mainly responsible for the death of Lastimosa]
"Of course," Xu Xiaolin nodded: "We will definitely find him and then... Ward will..."
The words have not yet finished!
Xu Xiaolin was stunned by the sight in front of him.
See you!
Going down the narrow corridor, a huge assembly factory appeared in front of him!
Yes, the woman named Ash in the mercenary group actually hollowed out an entire mountain and built an assembly line factory here!
Xu Xiaolin was a little shocked by Gu Sheng's imagination.
“Wow—”
A soft cry.
Xu Xiaolin and BT moved forward, defeating the enemy troops and Titans blocking the way, and arrived at a teleportation dock.
【BT: Pilot, the freight elevator at this dock is a shortcut, look at your heads-up display to find the console】
After saying that, Xu Xiaolin saw a mark point appearing in his UI interface, which was in the control room diagonally opposite. He needed to climb over the wall to open it.
“Well, I hope it’s a shortcut…”
Xu Xiaolin curled his lips and was noncommittal.
——
——
The jumping device behind him was activated, and Xu Xiaolin came to the control room.
Following BT's prompts, started the control panel.
It can happen in the next second!
Just listen to the alarm bells ringing suddenly in the factory!
【warn! warn! Unauthorized Titan found at Pier 13! 】
【Move Titan to the asset reset location! 】
Xu Xiaolin was shocked!
Immediately afterwards, I heard BT's voice coming through the helmet!
【BT: Pilot, I need help】
“Fuck!!”
At this moment, Xu Xiaolin, who hurriedly ran out of the control room, saw the scene at the dock and couldn't help but scream!
"You...I...what the hell?!"
See you!
At this moment, BT is being picked up by a huge robotic arm!
Although BT's voice is still calm.
But his constantly struggling body and random firing movements betrayed his helpless mood!
The tense and slightly funny scene left Xu Xiaolin dumbfounded!
Seeing BT being snatched away by the robotic arm like a doll, Xu Xiaolin, who was stunned for a moment, shouted!
“Hey! Oh shit! That’s my Titan! You put my Titan down for me, shit!!”
Although BT's tone did not change, it was not difficult to hear his panic——
【BT: Pilot, I can't break free on my own, Kubo...】
Xu Xiaolin is very numb.
Not only because his BT was taken away in an outrageous way.
It was especially because at this moment, in front of him, there was a level design called [Step into the Void].
Following BT's instructions in the voice, Xu Xiaolin went all the way down.
Wandered around and followed the water pipeline into the interior of the factory.
And here—
It is a huge assembly line that is completely beyond ordinary people’s imagination!
One after another, two-story-high robotic arms operate back and forth.
On the wide assembly line, cement boards measuring dozens of square meters one after another were transported to the front of the assembly line.
Xu Xiaolin stood at the beginning of the assembly line, feeling like a dwarf in a kingdom of giants.
The level design of this level is to ask him to find a way to the upper level in this intricate and magnificent assembly line!
Start the jumping device!
Xu Xiaolin jumped onto the concrete slab.
Ahead, a huge, roaring plate press is in operation, with steam billowing!
Xu Xiaolin looked around while dealing with the enemy troops that were catching up.
Then, at the moment when the cement board was about to crush him into a meat pie, he jumped out of the cement board, slid along the steel frame next to it, jumped around the plate press, and turned back again.
At this moment!
The cement slab that was just bare now has a strip of turf.
Go on!
The assembly line continues to move forward!
The steel bars are criss-crossed!
Xu Xiaolin dodged around, trying to walk through the steel bars, while continuing to face a steady stream of pursuers.
After this production line passed, frame steel beams were poked out on the concrete and turf ground.
Go on!
Fixed bunkers, combat dummies, iron walls…
During the waves of battles, Xu Xiaolin kept moving forward with the cement slabs, and watched helplessly as a simple room was being assembled in front of him!
This moment!
His shock could not be greater!
Yes!
Gu Sheng actually used a passive motion level design that he had never heard of in this level!
The players themselves do not need to explore and move in large areas!
All level processes are all carried out on that moving cement board!
On this concrete slab, players not only have to fight back the pursuers at all times, but also find a way to survive on the dangerous production line!
Even better!
During this constant movement, players will watch the area they are in being enriched, set up, and assembled!
That is to say!
This level!
Gu Sheng fixed the player, but made the entire level move!
What an astonishing ingenuity this is!
Xu Xiaolin became more and more frightened the more he played!
How many years?
Five years? ten years?
It has been so many years since I entered the game industry!
Have never seen such a magical level structure idea!
And when he followed the assembled house all the way up and was transported to the top floor of the factory!
This kind of shock has reached an extreme level!
——
Click!
With his piece of concrete slab equipped with house grass, it rises.
A spacious simulation training venue the size of a stadium is now taking shape!
And he is like the last piece of the puzzle!
Not only did he piece together the venue, but he also perfectly completed the last 1 point of the 99 points!
With the construction of the venue completed!
Ash’s voice also sounded in the training ground!
【The stage has been set, now let me see what you are capable of, Pilot】
The game is paused.
There was silence in the somatosensory cabin for half a minute!
Just listen to Xu Xiaolin’s excited voice in the somatosensory cabin!
“Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!”
The first wonderful thing! The beauty lies in the logical design of the levels!
BT’s shortcut proposal once again caused trouble. Ridiculously funny emergencies forced players to go deep into this assembly factory located in an empty mountain!
The second best thing! What’s cool is the way the levels work!
Gu Sheng used his genius-like ideas to build levels in reverse thinking, fixing the players and letting the levels run around the players, creating a wonderful experience where mountains and rivers never change!
The third wonderful thing! The wonderful thing is the summary of the ending of the level!
Until the last moment, players realize that the concrete slab they are on is just a piece of the puzzle to build a training ground.
The completion of the construction of the cement board is not the end of this level of adventure, but the beginning of a new round of crisis!
Xu Xiaolin only had eight words to comment on this—
Hand together, wonderful ideas!
One hundred points!
Full!
