Chapter 263 "Vicious BUG" Robert (two-in-one)
this?
This is the "exquisite BOSS design" that Sekiro players have boasted so much that tens of thousands of people have liked him on social platforms to let him see it?
That’s it?
Kazuo Koizumi was angry and funny for a moment, and he even didn't know what kind of expression he should use to deal with the situation that appeared in front of him now.
Yes.
Yes, Koizumi, who is still recovering in the hospital, still cannot resist the "suggestions" of countless players after all.
Plus, he really had nothing to do in the hospital alone.
So, with an unconvinced attitude, Koizumi opened the game live broadcast platform.
He wanted to see what the so-called "top BOSS battle design" in the players' mouth was like!
result.
Just twenty minutes after watching the live broadcast of Hideki, who is known as Neon's number one game anchor, he fell silent on the screen.
Cooperating with the BOSS design that you boast about so much, just to create a monster that is simply unkillable?
OK!
I will admit that your design of BOSS is unconventional.
And your unconventional approach was indeed unexpected, and caused an uproar among players and audiences.
But the problem is—
“How the **** am I going to get through this?”
At this moment, Yingshu, who was standing on the covered bridge, ran away with his head in his arms, wailing in despair:
“No, no, no, no! Qiaodou sack! Qiaodou sack!!”
Boom! boom!
Boom! !
The huge sword struck heavily behind him.
The entire wooden covered bridge is shaking!
Step, step, step again!
Hideki now has completely lost his fighting spirit and is only trying to evade like crazy, not daring to touch the edge of the armored warrior.
Because, just in the blink of an eye.
He discovered that not only was he originally invincible, but his never-missing Ninja attack did not cause fatal damage to the big man in armor. He even looked closely and saw that the guy didn't even lose any blood!
Yes.
Because in Sekiro, the posture bar is an extremely important combat setting.
Generally speaking, in a normal battle, the enemy's posture bar will definitely collapse before the health bar.
The posture bar is directly above the head-up display, which is much more eye-catching than the enemy's health bar.
So generally, players don’t pay special attention to the enemy’s health.
But this time it’s different!
This armored brother simply can't bear to be killed!
The wedge pill can't be wiped off his neck at all!
So at that moment, Hideki turned his attention to his blood volume, wondering if this BOSS was special and could not be killed by endurance and could only be killed by grinding blood.
In the end, it’s better not to look at it.
Looking at it, I feel even more desperate!
“No! Wait a minute! You don’t lose blood, and you can’t be killed by Ninja! You made me a fool!!”
There was a loud bang.
Hideki couldn't dodge and was directly hit by the armored warrior and flew more than three meters away!
The audience was delighted—
‘wwwww completely invincible’
‘Bug it, this game is difficult, but it’s not like you can create such an invincible guy’
‘This bug is really funny, especially after seeing this airtight armor, it seems more reasonable’
‘It seems like ninjas can’t take advantage of fully armed medieval knights’
‘But one thing to say, this knight’s moves and movements are so handsome, and he has a fierce charm’
‘I suggest that Xiao Huang make a medieval-themed wolf game in the future. I also want to wear heavy armor’
‘+1, I want to use a two-handed sword’
‘Hahahahaha, let’s reopen it, this bug is too serious’
‘Stop struggling in vain...’
‘…’
After an analysis!
Both the audience and Hideki gave up their resistance.
Obviously, this is a bug.
Hideki also agreed with this and gave his own analysis when restarting the game:
“I understand, the special design of this BOSS should be on his health bar,”
“Because he is wearing heavy armor, we cannot damage him, so theoretically, we can only kill him by breaking his posture bar,”
“But because he has a blood lock, from the program logic, there may be an ‘invincible’ bug,”
“Oh, let’s play it again. After all, it is Golden Wind’s first 3S-level masterpiece. A few bugs are not a big deal…”
Said.
Yingshu stood in front of the covered bridge again.
Because there is only one road leading to the main entrance of Xianfeng Temple.
So no matter what, he needs to kill this armored warrior before he can move forward.
“Come on! Let me kill you with justice this time!”
Speaking!
Yingshu ran towards the middle section of the covered bridge.
As expected, the armored warrior rushed out from the observation deck again, swinging his sword with both hands, and fought with Hideki.
Ding! when! Boring!
Click, bang!
With the experience from the last time, Hideki seemed much more calm when facing the armored warrior's powerful and heavy attack this time.
Moreover, he discovered that the Ninja Prosthetic Hand Axe, which had been used to deal with shield soldiers before, had an outstanding effect on armored warriors.
Find the opportunity to strike once or twice, and then supplement it with flicking knives and attacks.
This time, he didn't even need to resurrect. He only used two gourds to defeat the armored warrior's posture again.
"Ha ha!"
Yingshu roared wildly:
"Accept my righteous forbearance! Xi-nei-"
Chichichichi—sha! !
A string of sparks flying!
Hideki clearly felt the friction between the blade and the armor, as well as the harsh metal hiss!
“I—grass—?!”
Hum!
Hideki turned over and landed on the ground, looking at the armored warrior charging towards him again with a pair of horrified eyes!
【For my son! Put down your weapons! 】
–
This time, Hideki even forgot to resist at all and watched the giant sword coming towards him!
Boom! boom-
【die】
At this moment, all the players who have reached this point cannot hold back any longer!
"Wardfa! Bug! This is a bug! It is definitely a vicious bug!"
“Hey, Xi Bal’er#￥%@#, I can’t kill Xi Bal’er￥@#%@!# at all!”
"Sukka! It's impossible to fight this! Sukka is not one of them!"
“Don’t do it for your son! Can I treat you as your son? You are really my father! You are more awesome than Long Yin!”
“Ehehehe, you must play with a smile when playing games, just like me, Ehehehe—I am playing with my mother!”
“Gai-ah-!!”
I really can’t stand it anymore!
From anchors to ordinary players.
Everyone who hits here will be stuck!
Looking at the many players who broke through the defense, Koizumi in the hospital couldn't help laughing!
…
good!
Very good!
Originally, I just wanted to see how awesome the design of your game is.
I never expected it!
It's so good that I didn't die, but I just happened to encounter this embarrassing scene like yours!
You must know that the small BOSS on the corridor bridge is one of the BOSS that must be experienced in the game process.
Only by killing him can you enter Xianfeng Temple and obtain the Immortal Slash.
But now, such a critical BOSS has an extremely vicious bug like "cannot be killed"!
Even the anchors with the fastest progress in the game today are helpless against this vicious bug!
A period of time.
Koizumi realized that an opportunity had come.
Although organizing public opinion to attack "Sekiro" at this time will not help the sales of their "Torii".
But if I don’t benefit myself, can’t I harm others?
Even if I can't save my own sales, I can lower your reputation and affect your sales. Isn't that a good thing?
Think of this.
Koizumi immediately picked up the phone and called his assistant.
In fact, nowadays, the atmosphere inside Comela is very subtle, or a little chaotic.
An arrangement mistake at the previous video game festival caused Moritani to beat up Koizumi and send him directly to the hospital.
Immediately afterwards, Moritani announced that he would step down as the head coach of this promotion and marketing, which directly led to the failure of Torii's subsequent marketing.
The video game festival failed, the head coach announced his resignation, the 3S-level masterpiece had a dismal start, and the overall reputation continued to decline...
Amidst all the chaos, it stands to reason that Shangyue Jingzheng should take action quickly, make timely adjustments and responses, and stabilize the situation.
After that, he first launched secondary marketing to stabilize Torii’s declining reputation, and then ordered Koizumi to make additional adjustments to the game.
After all, at this time, the game’s first week sales have not yet been released, so it is not too late to make amends.
However.
At this time, the top management of Comora did not make any response or action. They were like a pool of stagnant water. They seemed to regard Torii and all the works of this video game festival as abandoned, regardless of their intentions.
Therefore, Kazuo Koizumi, as the director of Koizumi Studio and the first designer of the Torii project, naturally became the full person in charge of the project without any arrangements and detailed instructions from the upper level, and could mobilize part of the publicity and public relations force.
that's all!
In just half an hour!
Through the doubts of many players and the overwhelming complaints of major anchors.
soon.
ˆAbout a serious and vicious BUG in "Sekiro"! "The post was spread to all major game forums.
There was a huge uproar for a while, and the players were talking about it!
…
“…Let me tell you, if it doesn’t work, you should try another route. Look, it’s spread all over the Internet. This is a vicious BUG.”
at the same time.
Wang Yong in the smoking area of the somatosensory bar took a puff of cigarette and handed his mobile phone to Zhao Yi:
“It’s not that there’s something wrong with your method, it’s just a BUG. Many anchors have changed their routes to explore other places.”
In the game, after players defeat Genichiro in the castle tower for the first time, Genichiro will escape by relying on his resurrection ability that turns into sediment.
After this, players will embark on the real main line of the game "cutting off the immortal".
Since cutting off the Immortal requires two props, the Immortal Slash and the Source Incense to enter the Palace of Origin, some players went to Xianfeng Temple to look for the Immortal Slash, such as Quinn and Hideki.
Some players chose to go to the Valley of Collapse first to find materials for synthesizing the Original Incense.
As for Zhao Yi, he chose to go to Xianfeng Temple to find Immortal Slash.
Yes, he has a characteristic in playing games—slow to get started and adapt, but quick to master.
Any game in his hands will always be stumbling in the early stage.
However, once he is familiar with the game mechanics and adapts to the game environment, Zhao Yi's powerful ability to learn and draw inferences can be fully utilized.
It's like a late-game hero.
It’s a stretch in the early stage, but with experience and equipment support, you can kill everyone in the field.
Now Zhao Yi has caught up with the speed of the first echelon and encountered this armored warrior who was completely unkillable.
"Um-"
After browsing some online discussions, Zhao Yi smacked his lips, thoughtfully:
"Such a serious bug... Golden Wind wouldn't have noticed it before it was released?"
Obviously, Zhao Yi does not fully agree with the BUG statement.
"indeed,"
Wang Yong is actually a little surprised by this:
“So some players say that this is a game mechanism, indicating that it is not the time to kill armored warriors yet,”
“Maybe you need to go to other places first and find a targeted prop before you can kill him completely.”
Such an analysis seems quite reasonable.
However.
Zhao Yi still shook his head:
“No, this does not conform to the design logic of the game.”
Having played the game so far, Zhao Yi actually has a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of "Sekiro".
That is, any combatable BOSS you can encounter now can be conquered on the spot.
After all, even Genichiro Hatsumi could be defeated and turned into a sneak attack to win "Kanichiro".
How could Golden Wind arrange a BOSS that would make players fight hard but not let them pass the level?
"It's just torture." After hearing Zhao Yi's analysis, Wang Yong shrugged and said, "This is not how the old thieves play."
“Hey—that’s a bad statement,”
Hearing this, Zhao Yi slowly shook his head:
“There is an essential difference between tormenting and disgusting people,”
“The old thief just likes to torture players and make them mentally unbalanced when they [die] again and again, but in the final analysis, you will definitely be able to defeat him,”
“He will never arrange a BOSS that is completely impossible to pass, just to make you sick.”
This... After hearing Zhao Yi's words, Wang Yong opened his mouth.
Zhao Yi’s statement seems to make sense.
From a game design logic perspective, this is indeed inconsistent with the tone of this game.
But the problem is, the situation is right in front of us now.
Players just can’t find a way to pass the level?
“That’s because I didn’t find the right method!”
Say it!
Zhao Yi crushed the cigarette **** in the ashtray, waved the smoke and walked out of the smoking room, re-entering the somatosensory cabin.
Have to say!
After in-depth play and understanding of Sekiro, Zhao Yi’s skills have improved by leaps and bounds.
咚! brake!
Before entering the covered bridge, I saw Zhao Yi standing at the end of the bridge, raising his hands and stepping on the ground, with two rays of light, one red and one yellow, lighting up on his body.
Yaksha sugar, Gangtose sugar.
These are two consumable props in the game.
The former will temporarily lose 50% of the upper limit of life in exchange for a 20% attack power bonus, helping players to execute the execution effect faster.
The latter will weaken the enemy's damage to the player's posture bar by 66%, helping the player to parry better.
Whoosh!
Since the duration of the two candies is only 25 seconds, Zhao Yi needs to fight quickly!
【For my son! Put your...]
"Shut up!"
Before the armored warrior finished speaking!
I saw Zhao Yi flying up the mountain and waved his prosthetic hand -
Crackling! !
A string of firecrackers exploded in front of him, directly interrupting the armored warrior's words. At the same time, he was so frightened that the armored warrior subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover it!
Scheme! brake! brake!
Swing three swords in a row!
I saw the armored warrior being beaten and retreating repeatedly, with sparks flying from his body!
The wedge pill swept across his extremely strong armor, making bursts of piercing golden sounds!
【Wooah—! ! 】
Hum!
After a brief three-sword attack, the armored warrior quickly reacted, swung the giant sword in his hand and struck at Zhao Yi!
Boring!
Sparks are flying!
Zhao Yi's posture bar has risen slightly, but the armored warrior's posture bar has reached a quarter!
“Fuck!!”
Wang Yong, who was watching simultaneously, was shocked!
So **** strong!
Firecrackers started, three knives and one strike, and in a flash, the extremely brave and armored warrior broke through a quarter of his defense!
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yi's operation can be called a "lone wolf" operation!
Step on the knife, nod, parry, rebound...
As the sword was swung, the armored warrior was retreating steadily, unable to even hurt Zhao Yi!
Boring!
And as the golden sound of the last flick of the knife sounded, the armored warrior's posture bar collapsed instantly!
Zhao Yi also took this opportunity to fly forward and hit with a brutal kill!
——!
Dong dong dong!
Sparks flew and the armored warrior staggered backwards, but he still did not die!
This time!
Zhao Yi has finally confirmed it - this is definitely not a BUG!
You must know that this is a motion sensing cabin game. Although the machine in the motion sensing cabin is not the most advanced Yiyu x2, but the older Polar Bear generation.
But the tactile performance of the full sense is still very clear.
Zhao Yi could clearly feel the feeling of the blade cutting through the armor, which was different from all the executions he had performed before!
If this is a BUG, then why does Golden Wind have to specially adjust the feeling of a knife cutting armor in a place like this?
so!
Zhao Yi looked at the armored warrior who had regained half of his posture bar and charged back, and raised the wedge ball again:
“Something’s wrong. This is definitely not a BUG. There must be a way to overcome it. Please help me keep an eye on it!”
Speaking!
A cold light flashed in his hand, and he attacked again!
Ding! when! Boring!
Fires are blazing, Zhao Yi and the armored warrior are fighting together!
At the same time, Wang Yong’s mind was spinning rapidly!
As a cloud player, although he has not personally experienced this game, he has basically fully understood the combat mechanism of this game through many online broadcasts and Zhao Yi's "live broadcast".
In Sekiro, if you want to cause damage to the enemy, there are only three ways -
Sneak around the back to assassinate, kill with normal attacks, break the stance to kill, and use the props in Nin Yi’s hands to kill.
But nowadays, sneaking is definitely not possible. The armored warriors are extremely alert, and normal attacks cannot cause damage. Ninja's prosthetic hand can only cause debuff effects but no damage, and Ninja's killing can only stagger this iron can upside down.
Zhao Yi took the armored warrior's attacks again and again, breaking his posture bar again and again.
For a moment, Wang Yong frowned.
Once, twice, three times…
Hen prosthetic hand, candy, gourd, resurrection...
Endure the killing, endure the killing, endure the killing again…
The roaring tin can seemed to be tireless, waving the giant sword in his hand and smashing at Zhao Yi crazily.
As time dragged on, Zhao Yi's situation became more and more dangerous. All his trump cards were revealed. At this moment, he was at the end of his crossbow, with only one square of blood and skin left!
The battle between the two turned into darkness, and the entire covered bridge became a mess!
The wooden windows on both sides of the covered bridge were smashed one after another, and even the railings next to the observation deck were chopped to pieces!
【Wow—! lay down! Your weapon! 】
Hum! !
With another roar from the armored warrior!
I saw that the giant sword seemed to be carrying the power of thunder, and it struck Zhao Yi with a fierce charge!
Boring, boring, boring—boring! !
At this time, Zhao Yi was already at the end of his strength. Faced with such a heavy blow, his steps were unsteady and he retreated continuously. He retreated to the observation deck before he looked at it!
—
Below, there is a cliff of ten thousand feet!
Above, is the Thunder Giant Sword!
A critical moment!
——
Boring—! !
In an instant!
Mars are everywhere!
A perfect deflection, which forcefully opened the armored warrior's sword, and also shattered his posture bar at the last moment!
Zhao Yi's heart rate has even soared to 150!
Seeing the red dot appear, I subconsciously stepped forward to kill him again.
At this moment, a sudden scream suddenly sounded on the voice channel!
The iron can that cannot be killed, the staggering trigger of the Endurance Kill, the broken covered bridge...
“Fuck! I understand!”
Only heard Wang Yong scream:
"Go around the back! Go around the back! Kick him! Now!!"
salad-!
Hearing this, Zhao Yi almost subconsciously took a step forward and walked around behind the armored warrior. The two swapped positions and stepped forward at the waist.
The wedge ball in his hand passed across the armored warrior's neck again, and then his legs tightened, like a compressed spring, and he kicked in the air!
嗵——! !
唔唔—唔唔唔—!
I saw the unstable armored warrior staggering a few steps, his heavy body like a dump truck rushing towards the observation deck with no guardrails. He stretched out his hand as if to steady his body, but he couldn't help but feel that his body was airtight. The armor is too heavy!
The fall occurs in the next second.
A roar of fear and unwillingness instantly resounded through the canyon of Xianfeng Temple towering into the clouds, startling a flock of birds—
elsewhere ! 】
——
嗵! !
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came after several seconds.
【Obtain: Buddhist beads】
Then, a trophy popped up in the lower right corner of Zhao Yi’s heads-up display—
【BOSS defeated (Armored Samurai)】
In an instant!
The voice channel of the somatosensory cabin was silent for five seconds!
Then, two screams burst out in the somatosensory cabin at the same time!
"I-!"
"Grass-!"
——
The somatosensory hatch opened, and Wang Yong and Zhao Yi saw unparalleled excitement in each other's eyes!
More than two hours of exploration!
Dozens of attempts!
Countless possible analyses!
Hundreds of flicks and moves in the final battle, a full six rounds of endless killing!
The two big boys clapped their hands hard, making a pleasant crisp sound!
“I passed it! Damn it! I passed it! Bro!!”
“Awesome—!!”
“We are the champions! Hahahahahahaha Wuhu—!!”
…
At this very moment!
Binjiang.
Golden Wind Games Company.
In the vice president’s office.
Sato was sitting on the sofa opposite Gu Sheng, looking a little worried:
“The discussion among players is already very intense now, and they are all mentioning us and want an explanation,”
“Many players even attacked us on major forums and social platforms, and their words were very fierce.”
Two hours after the [Malignant BUG] incident occurred, public opinion about a major BUG in Sekiro that needed to be urgently fixed has been overwhelming in the gaming circle.
Although many of the players are relatively sane and have stood up to "excuse" Golden Wind.
Perhaps this "invincible BUG" is just that the players' clearance route is wrong, or Xiao Huang is inexperienced and hopes everyone can be more tolerant of their first 3S-level masterpiece.
But don’t forget.
Amid the turmoil of public opinion, there is also Comella's public relations team fanning the flames.
Since then, the situation has intensified, and a larger number of players have denounced Golden Wind and asked them to stand up and give an explanation.
After all, this is a major BUG that affects the progress of the main line of the game.
In this regard, as the studio director of Steel Chain Finger and also the main person in charge of the Sekiro project besides Gu Sheng, Sato is helpless and anxious.
You know, when he was designing this BOSS, he had a faint feeling that something was wrong.
Although the setting of "relying on terrain to execute BOSS" is not uncommon in the gaming circle.
But generally speaking, such settings often appear together with extremely obvious prompts.
Some games even directly prompt the player what to do through the words of his companions.
But there is no such thing in a wolf.
Don’t tell players directly what to do.
When fighting against armored warriors, players don’t even get the slightest hint.
Purely explore on your own!
The most important thing is that the torturous nature of their game is quite prominent.
Sato couldn't even imagine how explosive the players' mentality would be when they found out that the BOSS they had worked so hard to defeat not only did not fall, but also rushed up again like nothing happened.
And now.
He saw it.
“How about...we release a demo video?”
Sato suggested.
If this continues, the sales and reputation of the game will be seriously affected.
“That’s not calling the player stupid.”
In this regard, Gu Sheng seemed very calm.
Hunted the pen cap, turned the pen in his hand, and gave Sato a comforting smile:
“Well, there will always be some stubborn ones,”
“They could even spend a whole night beating Genichiro whom they met for the first time,”
“There will definitely be people who stubbornly try to pass the level by fighting with the armored warriors,”
"Don't panic, let Robert fly for a while..."
Hearing this, Sato wanted to say something else.
But at this moment.
Suddenly, I heard the phone ding.
Taking out my phone, I saw this was a hot post from the world’s largest player community forum [SNG Forum]—
"Injury-free strategy for Xianfengji Armored Warrior (with video and fighting tutorial
Published time, five minutes ago.
Number of replies—
80,790 items.
Seeing Sato talking, he suddenly became embarrassed, as if he was glared by Medusa, and turned to stone on his sofa.
Gu Sheng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
“emmmmm…”
Gu Sheng opened his mouth, and even interrupted the petrified Sato a little embarrassedly:
“Yes—has our reputation been reversed?”
"have…"
Hear the words.
Sato slowly raised his head and swallowed.
Then, he turned the phone to Gu Sheng:
“Someone conquered the armored warrior,”
“Eighty thousand replies in five minutes,”
“Our reputation has not just been reversed,”
“It’s still possible to turn around—”
“It’s a bit big...”
It is scheduled to be wiped at eight o'clock tomorrow...
