There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  Chapter 522 broke the season mode

   Gilber Corporation.

  The secretary has left.

   But Frank hasn't recovered yet...

  He sat on a chair lonely, with a cigar in his mouth, let the smoke wind around his face wantonly, trying to wake himself up.

  Frank, wake up!

Why.

   It is agreed that I am not here to play games.

  Why did I become addicted to it?

  Frank began to recall his own mental journey.

  At the beginning of this game, he really didn't think it was interesting.

  Ordinary monsters die instantly.

  boss and elite monsters are slower, but they are far from difficult.

   After switching to a new chapter.

  The difficulty has increased.

   But soon, as the equipment is updated, everything will go back to the way it was before.

But not only did he not feel bored, on the contrary, the more he played, the more interested he became. He even took the initiative to increase the difficulty once... and then racked his brains to match the most suitable skills and runes for him, trying one by one. .

  Even running the company, he didn't use his brains that crazy.

   As soon as he saw the fallen equipment, he almost couldn't wait to pounce on it like a dog smelling shit.

   When the first piece of legendary equipment made a ding, orange light shot up into the sky, and he even waved his arms in excitement.

   At that moment, Frank even remembered.

   I remembered the time when I played games carefree when I was a child...

   This game is not smart at all, the gameplay structure is so simple that it even makes people feel a little crude, it is driven by equipment.

  Diverse skills, equipped with different levels, different attributes, and different skill bonuses, supplemented by gems and other props.

   Constructed the most basic gameplay.

  But it is this simple set of gameplay that makes him feel happy continuously...

  He couldn't resist the continuous brushing, the urge to brush advanced equipment, and the storyline of the game.

  During the period, in this video game, he even felt that God rewards hard work...

  Frank is already middle-aged. If you let him play FPS and fast-paced games, he really can’t beat those young people.

   But in the game "Diablo", he feels that he is on the same starting line as all players, no matter how young or not other players are.

  Because the game operation is not difficult.

  As long as he keeps brushing, even a middle-aged man like him can get rewards, such as the legendary equipment just now... and as the equipment improves, he can see the progress of the character with the naked eye.

   And after the character progresses, it makes him more enjoyable to brush next.

   Then it made him feel good, because of the drop mechanism of the relevant loot after spawning monsters, he couldn't help but continue to farm.

   Like ouroboros.

  Finally, he sank into it step by step.

  Later, he didn't even care about picking pricks...

   And what's even scarier is...

  The difficulty settings of this game are not simple, normal and difficult.

   Instead, Normal, Hard, Expert, Master.

  In addition to these four levels of difficulty, there is also the difficulty of torture, from torture 1 to torture 16.

   This proves from the side how exaggerated the growth curve of this game is... 18 difficulty levels can be raised along the way.

  The equipment he has come into contact with now may be just the tip of the iceberg.

  Just before being interrupted by the secretary, Frank raised the difficulty of the game to difficult, and felt a little bit more difficult.

   But not only did he not give up, but he got a greater driving force... He wants to keep brushing! Brush to better equipment! Want to gradually increase the difficulty!

   It's outrageous! !

  Is this the ultimate answer to the game?

  Scrub?

  Frank stubbed out the cigar that was burning to the end, and watched the lingering smoke rising in silence for a long time.

   Then, look back at the screen.

   The game is still on.

  He wanted to understand why he was addicted, but the reason he had just reawakened was gradually disintegrating...

go home.

   Keep playing.

  Two thoughts swirled in his mind.

   But without waiting for his brain to make a decision...

  His hands were skillfully placed on the keyboard while holding the mouse...

at last.

  Frank convinced himself with the reason of 'continue to test the quality of this game'.

  The idea of ​​continuing to play occupied his mind in an instant.

soon.

  In the office, there was another clicking sound of mouse buttons...

  …

at the same time.

   Domestic.

  It is approaching noon.

  A community in Pengcheng.

   "Fuck,"

  Feng Kangshun got up from the bed, logged into the Vaporwave game platform as usual, opened the friend list, and prepared to start a pleasant weekend game time.

   But the next second.

  He was taken aback.

   His top friends are all playing Diablo!

   This scene reminded him of some mixed memories.

   Exactly the same!

   It is exactly the same!

   Exactly the same as when Civilization was released!

   But soon, he calmed down.

   Not right.

  The game is unlocked at 8:00 in the morning, and now is the hottest time for new games.

  It's not surprising that so many people play.

   After all, it is the game announced by Linmu Studio at the carnival.

   Isn't he going to play Diablo too?

   "Scared me to death, I thought it was another time-killing game like Civilization."

  Feng Kangshun thought everything through, smiled, and made complaints while looking for the preloaded "Diablo".

  The "Civilization" of Linmu Studio last time really terrified him.

  Originally, he just wanted to try it with his friends, and if it didn’t work, he would refund it within two hours.

  But as soon as I played it, I played until the next afternoon...

   13 full hours...

  He didn't recover for three or four days.

  Since then, he never dared to fight anyone in "Civilization".

   It's like a marathon, it's too much!

  The game "Civilization" really left a deep impression on him. Even now, "Civilization" is the game he has played the longest.

   Open one from time to time.

   Then after playing in the era of nuclear bombs, I discarded the file and started again and again.

   "Aha, found it."

soon.

  Feng Kangshun found "Diablo" in the long list of game libraries, and clicked to start the game.

  This time "Diablo" is different from "Civilization". He played Civilization because he was curious, and a mistake would cause eternal hatred... This time "Diablo" is his own interest.

  He is very interested in the art style.

  He thought it was really cool.

  The game circle needs such a unique game!

   Otherwise, what’s the point of playing around with those types.

  Only looking at this point, he should also support it!

  So a long time ago, he pre-ordered this game.

  He doesn't want this game to be as addictive as "Civilization", and he doesn't dare to expect it... After all, he still wants it.

   As long as the game is above the horizon, he's going to blow it up!

  Feng Kangshun was thinking wildly while watching the logo of Linmu Studio flash on the screen.

   Then he held the mouse.

  The game starts.

   At this time.

  The initial page of the game popped up.

  Looking at the game start page, with the Gothic church in the background, Feng Kangshun geared up and put his left hand on the keyboard.

  Start creating a character.

  Different from Frank, he carefully read the introductions of all occupations, and finally chose the barbarian who felt the most suitable for him.

   Next, enter the game!

   Similarly, there are two CGs before the game.

   are the CG of the first act and the CG of the barbarian respectively.

  See the bronzing Linmu Studio LOGO appear.

   I don't know how.

  Feng Kangshun felt stable.

  He watched the two CGs quietly, and then got a little excited.

   This is the taste!

awesome.

   Wait for the game screen to come out.

  Feng Kangshun controlled the barbarian to walk around in place, and then moved forward, and even had an intracranial orgasm!

   Oh~

  This fog! The shadow! This light! This atmosphere is shaped! This skill has special effects! This unabashed element of violence...

  Although the perspective cannot be changed, it is really cool!

  He just entered the game, and he was worried that he would not be able to accept the top-down view of the game, but now it seems that he thinks too much.

   This is also quite interesting.

  Feng Kangshun continued to move forward with this thought in mind.

   Then, he's just like Frank.

  Go through the same process...

  The art is great, but the monsters seem weak.

  But he didn’t feel bored because the difficulty was too low, as Frank expected, but he felt a sense of refreshment…

  At this time, the young Feng Kangshun didn't realize anything...

   "Hey... drop equipment."

   These are the last words Feng Kangshun said.

Then.

  His room fell silent.

   Only the clicking sound of mouse buttons remained.

  Suddenly.

  A gust of heat-laden breeze blew a corner of the curtain through the opening of the window in the room.

   And outside the room window.

weather is good.

  Because it is summer, the hottest time.

  The sun was high outside.

   For many people outside, this is a very torturous process.

  Feng Kangshun's residential area, although the greenery is good, but there is no one at noon.

   Occasionally, I see one or two people, but they are also in a hurry, wishing to escape from the sun immediately.

   And at the same time that Feng Kangshun got his first piece of equipment in "Diablo".

   Downstairs.

A middle-aged man in a white shirt ran from the gate of the community to the floor where he lived, and then stood in the shadows, pulling his shirt vigorously, trying to cool himself down .

   "The weather is terrible, how to play, let's talk about it in the evening...Dad, this is not breaking his promise, it's too hot."

  The middle-aged man glanced at the area exposed to direct sunlight, and the air seemed to be distorted by the temperature.

  He shook his head slightly, and said something to himself.

   Originally, he said that it was a rare weekend and he planned to take his son to play, but in this situation, let alone his son, he couldn't stand it.

  The middle-aged man thought of this and looked up at the top of the building.

   Sure enough, all the external air conditioners were running.

  Looking up from the first floor, you can still vaguely see the third floor. Inside a certain window, a young man is sitting in front of the computer, concentrating on it.

  Look, on such a hot day, staying at home is the right choice.

  The middle-aged man smiled, looked away, then walked into the floor and returned to his home.

   Open the door.

  His ten-year-old son jumped up in surprise.

  The middle-aged man showed a guilty expression, squatted down and patiently explained to his son, comforted his son who was going to play, and chatted with his wife. Finally, he went back to take a nap.

   More than an hour later.

  He got up from the bed, assembled a fishing rod LABO with his son in the living room, and then chatted for a long time with the neighbor who came to visit.

  Drink tea all afternoon.

   What a fulfilling and relaxing day.

at this time.

   It was already sunset.

  After seeing off the neighbor, the middle-aged man looked out of the window, saw the golden sunset on the window sill, and smiled.

   "Son, Dad will take you downstairs to play." He yelled to his son's room.

"Oh!"

  The son ran out immediately.

  The two of them changed their shoes at the entrance, and then went downstairs.

  Although it is still a bit stuffy, it is not noon after all. Many parents brought their children downstairs, and several familiar children are gathering together to play.

  The middle-aged man patted his son on the shoulder and told him to find his friends. After his son ran away, he planned to find a shady place to sit and chat with his neighbors.

but.

   before leaving.

   It seems to be a tacit understanding.

  The middle-aged man looked up again and glanced at the floor he was on.

  The third floor.

  The young man was still sitting, his posture didn't seem to change.

   "What is this doing? So obsessed?"

  The middle-aged man suddenly had such a question.

   But soon.

  He was attracted by his son and his group of children.

   "Haha, transform!"

  The middle-aged man immediately withdrew his gaze, looked at the children who were fighting, and showed an old father's smile.

   And at the same time…

   The breeze once again passed through the gap in the window, blowing the corner of the curtain.

  The sound of children playing and fighting came in through the gap...

  Feng Kangshun heard the child's voice, subconsciously raised his head and looked out the window.

Then.

  He saw the setting sun outside, listened to the children's play, and looked down at his screen. After a moment of silence, he slapped his forehead suddenly:

   "Oh, what's the difference between this and civilization!"

   "Fucking! Fooled!!"

  …

   Actually.

  He had the same idea as Feng Kangshun, calling out players who were duped, more than one...

but.

  Speaking of the most impacted by "Diablo", or peers...

  Most of the games released by Linyao Studio before have certain requirements, some kind of invisible talent requirements.

   To become a top player, it is not just about hard work.

  Many times, young and talented players can get started quickly.

  And people like Frank from Gilber Company, Li Guangsheng and Mou Feng from Tianhu.

  Although there is a lot of time.

  But always can't play the young players.

   Even, like some confrontational FPS or MOBA.

   They can't even play.

but.

   In this case, Diablo does not exist.

  Middle-aged men who are in their prime, although their reactions are slower, it does not affect their experience of fun...

  Because of brushing, who can't?

   Actually.

  Tianhu's two high-level executives didn't come out all day except for going to the toilet.

   Exactly the same as Frank.

   Until evening.

  The news of getting off work came from outside, and the two of them woke up like a dream. Break away from this seemingly magical gameplay of swipe...

   "I am convinced."

  Inside the office.

  Li Guangsheng and Mou Feng each held a post-event cigarette in their hands, and their spirits were sluggish...

   "The ARPG that brushes the equipment can actually do this kind of thing..."

  Mou Feng took a deep breath of the smoke, and was really convinced.

  He is currently working for Tianhu, although it is not outstanding, but it does not mean that the company he was working for before was not awesome.

  Before returning home.

  He has stayed in both Gilbert Company and Dreamland.

   Deep knowledge of the game.

  Compared to Frank, who plays less games, he has a better understanding of games because he has participated in game development on the front line.

   Also better understand how powerful the equipment-driven gameplay of "Diablo" is!

   Although this set of gameplay has gone through vicissitudes and is simple, brushing words can really sum up everything.

   This is a very difficult subject to balance and do well.

  This gameplay seems simple, but in fact, the balance of the values...is something that requires endless effort.

   And it may not be done well.

   is particularly difficult to do.

For example, in Lin Yao’s previous life, when talking about brush games, even if it’s been more than ten years, the first thing players think of is “Diablo”. For games, smaller game companies really dare not do it.

  Even the producers of big companies such as Gilber Company and Dreamland keep away from this kind of gameplay, because it is too difficult to do well, but it is very easy to do badly.

  But Linmu Studio...has risen to the challenge, and has brought out this simple and charming gameplay to its full potential.

   It also makes it fit with the overall art style, which is fascinating.

  The two of them were originally here to criticize, or to put it more bluntly, to learn from experience, just like Frank.

   But in the end.

  They were all addicted.

  This is something that most of the previous games of Linmu Studio have not done.

  But because of this, it also made Mou Feng and Li Guangsheng even more desperate...

"I completely understand how high Lin Yao's expectations are for the carnival this time... They are going to leave a name in the history of the game. It is really hard to imagine that "Diablo" is not over yet, and there will be another "" World of Warcraft"…"

  Mou Feng held a cigarette between his index finger and middle finger, and the more he talked, the more depressed he became.

   And the other side.

  Li Guangsheng leaned back on the chair, as if drained dry, did not speak, did not respond, until Mou Feng mentioned "World of Warcraft", he twitched.

Then.

  He suddenly sat up, held the mouse again, and continued playing Diablo.

   "Ah Hiroshi, what are you doing?"

  Mou Feng heard the sound and looked at Li Guangsheng, a little strange.

  Li Guangsheng ignored him, as if he was about to fight **** in the game.

  Mou Feng thought of something, panicked, and quickly got up and came to Li Guangsheng's side.

   "Ah Guang, stop playing, don't make others ambitious!"

   "Ah Guang, you don't want to escape from reality, do you?"

   "No! Hiro! Take heart!"

   "World of Warcraft has not yet been tested publicly, we still have a way to deal with it! Ah Guang!"

   "Ah Hiroshi! Wake up!!"

   "...don't make noise! ​​I want to play a game! I love Diablo forever!!"

  Li Guangsheng waved his hand, and directly pushed away Mou Feng's hand, then bowed his head and continued to play "Diablo".

  Mou Feng looked at Li Guangsheng and stayed where he was.

   It's over.

broken.

  …

soon.

   Time came to night.

  The largest stand-alone related game forum in China.

   After a calm day.

dinner time.

  The entire forum is buzzing...

   What game is being discussed.

   It is a player who opened the forum can guess.

  The players who will open the forum actually have the same idea.

   That is - "Diablo"!

  【Damn it, I fell for it! Is this game enchanted? Must be! Why can't I stop! Why can't I stop playing such a simple game! Lin Yao must have cast a spell!]

   This post, which best represents the thoughts of the players, is sent out.

   Instantly.

  All the players rushed in.

   is a player who has played the game, so he has to go in and leave a message.

  The whole post is full of excitement.

  Players expressed the magic of this game in a direct way...

   "I don't know if I cast magic or not, I just know that time flies [lighting a cigarette], seven hours, in the blink of an eye..."

   "It must be! Woohoo, if I didn't open the forum, I would continue to browse after dinner! It's really fun!"

   "I thought that only RTS had this magical power to kill time, but I didn't expect... I'm young."

   "The plot is almost over, Leah...you died so badly! But it was so fun!"

"At the beginning, I thought Zhong Xiu was lying at the carnival. How can players develop ever-changing styles of play through different combinations of equipment and skills when cultivating characters... I didn't know this until I actually played it. Words carry weight.

  Linmu Studio, awesome! "

   "It feels like the end of the universe, just brushing..."

"To be more serious, to be honest, the gameplay of "Diablo" is not new. I knew it was an equipment-driven game almost from the beginning. This gameplay is not without similar games, but it can integrate the art style, The combination of gameplay and related elements is so good, and it is still of 3A quality. "Diablo" is really the first one.

  Many people compare this game with "Civilization", but it is unnecessary. This is easy to misunderstand players who have never played it. These are completely two games! Civilization is strategy, while Diablo…

The essence is just a game of swipe and swipe. Linmu Studio has really achieved the ultimate in the details of swipe, and really made players happy to swipe. In addition to swipe, the game actually has a wonderful game plot and a huge worldview setting , all of the above plus the equipment and skill mechanism, you can't stop playing once you play! That's where the magic of this game comes from!

  I don’t know how to deal with this game when it reaches the full level. After all, there are too many difficulty levels, but so far, it’s really good! Excellent! "

   "The upstairs is amazing, but I can only say that it's awesome... No more, I'm going to continue with the plot."

   "A safe haven for middle-aged men, a swipe game for young people..."

   "Help! I don't want to stay up late! But I can't help it!"

   "..."

  The replies to the post are rising rapidly.

Then.

   At a certain point in time.

  Suddenly returned to calm.

  Because most players are back in the game.

   Blow a few words and you're done!

   There are no beautiful pictures of Lin Yao!

  How can there be a game fun!

   Moreover, many players are actually very interested in the subsequent growth curve of this game.

   After all, there are sixteen levels of torture difficulty in this game.

   With such a difficulty setting, many players who have played the third act of the demon invasion and the fourth act of the battle of the Tianmen feel... the flow of the plot and the equipment dropped by it alone cannot support such a difficulty setting at all.

  Then why did Linmu Studio set such an outrageous difficulty?

   They are curious!

  Plus the plot itself and the game itself are very attractive.

   Most of the players ran to play the game.

   And when players are interested in a game, never underestimate the speed of their livers...

   Seventeen hours later.

finally.

   The first player to clear the storyline appeared.

   Not long after he cleared the customs, he posted a post on the forum.

  【Hahaha, I cleared the level... Then, I was stupid! I'll just say one thing! Linmu Studio is God! Do you understand! It is God! 】

  This post has not been followed by many people in the middle of the night.

   But the next day, at dawn.

  The number of people who pay attention will increase.

  But most of them tacitly did not talk about the plot, but asked, after the game is cleared, is there any new way to play...

  The host didn’t sleep until the next morning. Seeing so many replies to the post, he directly sent two pictures.

   The first one is a prop called Kanai's Cube!

  The other one is the Secret Realm Tower!

"You will know after clearing the level. After I cleared the level now, I played for another three hours. I am really convinced! Big and small secrets! New snow mountain map! Ancient equipment! God-level props Kanai's magic box! Ah... this is simply a **** The same settings! Let me just say one thing! Don’t worry about having nothing to play after clearing the level! This game! Bottomless!

   It makes sense for Linmu Studio to set so many difficulties! What! It's really cool! "

   As soon as this reply comes out!

   Instantly.

   The players who haven't cleared the level are all excited.

   Sure enough.

   After clearing the level, Linmu Studio also set the content!

Then.

As the time goes.

  More and more players cleared the level, and more and more players experienced the "full version" of "Diablo", and were shocked by the gameplay after clearing the game.

   And at the same time.

  Linmu Studio added another fire...

   made an announcement.

  【The first season of Diablo will be launched soon, and the theme of the first season is-"Eternal War"! 】

   This announcement.

   There are three full pages of specific content.

It explained in detail what the season mode is and how to play it. It also explained the theme of the first season, as well as... the ladder leaderboard, out-of-print transmogrification and battle flag rewards that will be added in the first season, as well as the linkage with "World of Warcraft" Season pets!

  The first season will be officially launched five days later!

  As soon as this announcement comes out.

   Instantly.

   The players were ecstatic.

   Colleagues are silent.

  This time, their joys and sorrows are connected.

  The idea is similar.

   That's it - you can still play like this! ?

  (end of this chapter)
