Chapter 344 The best love letter to brush players
The entire nightmare difficulty game journey is no different from normal difficulty.
At least this is the case for now after Er Xiao killed Sister An again in the first act.
Perhaps the only difference is that the level of the monsters has become higher, but in terms of difficulty, it is even a lot easier.
Erxiao, who has reached level 30, has unlocked all the skills of a character.
Become more familiar with the habits of these monsters, the dangers of some monsters, and the mechanics of fighting BOSS.
After the initial fresh feeling of seeing the game fades away, there is only one question left in my mind - what is the meaning of my next game?
If the subsequent game journeys are all replicas of normal difficulty, with only increased monster values, is it necessary to waste time and invest in this game?
This kind of mentality, even if Er Xiao did not show it during the live broadcast, many players in the live broadcast room had already expressed their doubts.
And this kind of doubt seems to have become a microcosm of the reputation of the entire Diablo game.
On the third day after Diablo was released, UPs on Xiaopo.com were already bombarding the game.
"Pointless repetition, disappointing Diablo! 》
"Players who are familiar with me know that I have always been a loyal fan of Chuanxin. I will buy every game Chunxin has released, even if I have not played it."
[An extremely eye-catching screenshot of game play time, among which Terraria has the longest play time, with a play time of 1,300 hours]
"Over the years, Chuxin Games, under the leadership of Mr. Luo, as well as its solid reputation and never-sluggish game development speed, has won unanimous praise from players around the world.
Even if some games appear to be too niche and not suitable for most players, in terms of quality, the games themselves do not have any problems.
But Diablo is clearly an exception. ”
[Diablo game duration is 26 hours]
"As far as game categories are concerned, Diablo is a fairly old-school APRG game. This type of game has been enduring ever since its creation.
And with the development of the game industry, it is also booming.
More complex game mechanics, more realistic game graphics, and more immersive storylines.
As of now, Diablo has only achieved the level that it was originally intended to achieve in terms of game image quality.
The game mechanism is simple and crude, and I only saw the stacking of values.
In terms of storyline, which should have been the strong point of the original intention, Diablo had an ineffective game flow and easy-to-skip character dialogues. After playing the entire game for a week, I suddenly had an uncomfortable thought in my mind. .
Is this the plot of this game?
The hero fights against the devil all the way and saves the world in the end, which is too cliche.
Of course, being cliche is not a bad thing. Anyone who has actually played the game knows that it is precisely the core of the clichéd story that is deeply rooted in people’s hearts.
It’s just that we have seen too many cliche plots. How to interpret the core of a cliché story into a classic is the creator’s skill.
The entire twenty-six hours of play was, to be honest, quite disappointing.
I didn’t see anything new in terms of mechanics, nor did I enjoy a hearty plot performance.
From the beginning to the end, I just walked with the knife and cut wherever I wanted. I randomly matched the skills and died two more times, and finally passed the level smoothly.
The whole process was nothing but emptiness.
Only the CG of the game does look like it cost a lot of money, which shows that the game is in line with its own price.
The last thing that makes me criticize the most.
The entire process of the game feels like a rush job.
There is no difference between the three difficulties: Normal, Nightmare, and Hell.
Only the monster numerical value has been improved. In fact, if the original intention was to make the game fifteen chapters, although the game mechanism may be outdated, it will still be a sincere work.
But now, the behavior is repeated three times in five chapters. I can only say that this is the arrogance of the original intention and an act of cutting leeks to the game players who have been silently supporting it.
Turning around is the end of the road, my original intention! Remember your name and don't let the dragon slayer turn into a dragon! ”
For a highly controversial video like this, the traffic is naturally enough to fill it up.
Xiaopo Station made such a simple push, and the number of views easily exceeded the 500,000 mark.
Naturally, the comment area and the barrage were also filled with chaos.
However, the very amazing thing is that the more rational voices make up the majority in the comment area.
"UP's evaluation of the game has many subjective factors, but judging from the description, everything said is on point.
But whether the Diablo game is as useless as you said, this still needs to be marked with a big question mark.
After all, the game has only been out for three days. Let the bullets fly for a while. I still have a lot of confidence in that man. ”
"I don't know if UP has been exposed to the rune language of darkness. This mechanism is quite interesting. My daily pleasure now is to go to the Countess of the Tower of Oblivion to brush some runes, and then experiment on my own."
"I don't know if UP is a gameplay-based profession. The casting speed in this game is a particularly interesting attribute. It's not simply that adding a spell will make it faster. There is a threshold.
This game is not as simple as you think. I can guarantee that Diablo's values must have taken a lot of effort to create. ”
Why does such a situation occur?
In fact, in the end we have to return to a chain of contempt and the issue of audience groups.
The broader a group's audience, the higher its KY priority on the Internet.
For example, you can play League of Legends memes in the comment area of almost any video or post.
Because even if this thing is half-dead now, it is still the number one online game. Those who have never played it should have heard of it.
And because there are enough people who can get what you post, and there are enough people who reply, even the minority who can't stand this kind of KY behavior can only keep their mouths shut.
KY? If you don’t know League of Legends, don’t say you are surfing the Internet.
The higher the contempt chain, the more peaceful the discussion within the group will be.
It can be rotten, and it can be called rotten.
Because no matter how bad it is, no matter how you say it, number one is number one.
You say I suck?
Ah, yes, yes, you can be as bad as you say. The fact that you can say such things only means that you have terminal cancer. Why don't you obey me if you are like this?
As for groups with lower contempt levels, fans will immediately start jumping on the bandwagon if they are mentioned.
So in essence, this fan, who always seems to be very "sane", just shows an extreme arrogance.
Extreme lack of quality shows up as relatively high quality.
Some scholars who study Internet psychology have also published research on related aspects.
In the current domestic game circle, the original intention is to be the well-deserved despise chain + the top of the audience.
This creates a strange harmony of style and criticism.
A true fan, we will treat everyone who plays other games equally.
Although he didn’t say it with his mouth, he definitely thought so in his heart.
Even if I occasionally play a masterpiece from another manufacturer:
"It's comparable to the original XX." With many people criticizing the game Diablo, the discussion on the Tieba forum was in full swing.
The main reason is still the same. After entering hell, the difficulty of the game skyrockets!
Even in the first act of the game, the fallen demons outside Rogge's camp all have the words "fire immunity" on their names.
Those golden monsters that could be bullied casually were directly equipped with triple BUFF.
The damage deepened by Dark Rogg's volley, whoever tries it knows what it feels like.
Players who were still in nightmare difficulty before and controlled thunder and lightning had their little pride in their hearts shattered instantly after entering hell.
It's even worse than when I first started playing this game.
What should I do if I can’t fight?
Everyone began to search for strategies on the Internet and went to Tieba to ask for solutions.
But as soon as I entered the Tieba forum, I realized, my dear, everyone has encountered the same problem.
Online?
It's extremely difficult for a person to fight in hell alone. If you increase damage and blood volume online, this is not seeking death.
What went wrong?
I don’t know what went wrong, but I have to say that no matter what game, there are always some big guys.
Soon a big boss shared a picture of himself in the game who had just cleared the Hell difficulty with a Necromancer.
Some undead players became excited on the spot.
In the midst of the "How is the boss doing?" and "Boss, please help me", this player also attached his own ideas and equipment.
Summon the Necromancer.
The main skill points are invested in skeleton summoning and skeleton control. Only one point of curses such as damage amplification and aging is added, and the corpse explosion is full.
"I found that the Necromancer's skeleton seems to also enjoy the HP bonus of the monster in Hell difficulty, so the special meat is basically stress-free as long as it is not a big move against the BOSS.
Never add a Skeleton Mage, the damage is too low, and the personal test damage is not as good as my mercenaries.
Curses such as damage aggravation and aging will only increase the range when increasing the level, but the effect will not change, so increasing one level is enough.
This corpse explosion is a magical skill. It deals half physical damage and half fire damage. It is very powerful..."
However, compared to the equipment of the boss, what everyone is more surprised about is the equipment of the boss.
[Leorric's arm bone (dark gold)]
There is no need to look at other attributes. It is not necessary for legal professions. What is important is the entry of skill level below.
+3 skeleton resurrection, +3 skeleton control, +2 summoning spell skills.
This staff is equivalent to strengthening the skeleton ten times!
"Brother! Brother! Where did this equipment come from?"
"Damn it, why are there still dark gold equipment? I still have some gold equipment and blue equipment, and the attributes are so rubbish."
"Brother, I've been to hell and haven't seen dark metal yet. It's really a shame."
Those who are currently pioneering to hell can basically see the power of this equipment at a glance.
Although there are some minor side effects, its attributes are unpretentious and strong.
"My staff was given to me by Mephisto in Nightmare Difficulty. It was dropped when we were clearing the wasteland. I have been using it to this day and I can't bear to replace it.
You can go and brush it and give it a try. ”
Another doggy!
After scolding, many undead players wanted to buy this staff from the boss and go to hell.
After a small auction, this simple game staff actually sold for a high price of 100 yuan!
All the melon-eating people could only ask questions frantically.
No, it’s just a piece of equipment, right?
But this little anecdote was directly made into a video and posted on Xiaopo.com.
Some gold farming teams seem to see business opportunities in this game.
Although there is not much discussion about the game Diablo on the Internet, the players who play this game seem to be quite wealthy.
……
"Diablo, the best love letter to us brush gamers"
Two months later, a video by a middle-aged man resonated with many players.
"...Diablo is essentially a brush game.
In today's fast-paced society, the market for this kind of game is actually very small.
What everyone likes is big scenes and strong emotional collisions.
A cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a computer to play games for a day are bound to only dissuade most players.
After playing the game with normal difficulty, they find that they can no longer experience the freshness later on, and they will naturally choose to give up the game.
But there are also some players, those who really do not refer to any strategies to open up wasteland, those who really regard the game as a goal to study, still discovered some things in this game that the production team wanted to convey.
The linkage blessing between skills.
If there are not enough skill points, how many types of BD can be formed by a profession?
What kind of equipment combination can be called graduation.
What factors will affect the drops of monsters?
The more you play, the more you feel that Diablo is like an infinite treasure, it is there for any player who likes this type of game to dig.
Completing the level is the end point in other games, but definitely not in Diablo.
This is a game that truly takes this genre to its extreme.
No props are superfluous, and all drops have their own unique uses.
As for all the current controversies outside, it can only be said that everyone has too many unrealistic expectations for it because of its original intention.
But for players who really like this kind of game, this is the best love letter.
Not to mention, I haven’t spawned my Jordan yet. I’ve been having nightmares about Sister An for three hours today. I hope I can spawn one.
Ha ha. ”
There seems to be no discussion on the Internet about whether Diablo is a good game or not.
However, what really makes people shut up is the sales of the Diablo game.
200W, mainly from Europe and the United States.
