Not long after Ye Luo's speedrunning video was released, the popularity immediately skyrocketed.
As one of the top speed masters in China, Ye Luo has also gained a lot of popularity by playing many games including "Overcoming Difficulties with Cats".
This time, although the popularity of "Walking with Darkness" has just passed its peak, the residual heat is still there, so as soon as this speedrunning video was released, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
…
In Liu Liang's live broadcast room.
"Huh? What are you all doing @ me?
"What the hell, Ye Luo has released an expert difficulty speedrun? Expert difficulty! Speedrun!"
Liu Liang was shocked when he saw the title of this video.
This game can actually be speed-passed? And it comes out so fast!
During this period, Liu Liang's live broadcast content was still "Walking with Darkness", and the game process was almost at the end.
But it is the end of the development of the expert difficulty random map...
He previously boasted that Haikou was an expert difficulty random map of "Walking with Darkness" that could be cleared in 30 hours, but now, it seems that it has taken more than 40 hours...
But I suffered a great sin!
Fortunately, the response to his video was quite good. It has been viewed more than two million times, and more than 1,000 people are watching it every day. Among the videos he has posted recently, it is quite good.
.
In addition, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room has increased dramatically recently. For Liu Liang, he has fully enjoyed the popularity of "Walking with Darkness".
It's just that it's hard to eat.
The expert difficulty level is indeed too torturous. If Liu Liang hadn't set a flag for himself and insisted on passing the level, he would have given up long ago.
Now I see that Ye Luo has even speed-passed on Expert difficulty?
Seeing the differences in the world...
With complicated emotions, Liu Liang clicked on the video to watch.
…
The content of the speed pass video is very concise, without lengthy opening remarks, and it goes directly into the game screen.
There are timers for each key point on the interface, which are continuously timed as the game progresses, and the time difference between this process and the previous best result is calculated.
This timer is the official software of the speed pass website. It can detect the integrity of the game, prevent cheating, and read the time when players complete each key node. In short, it is an auxiliary tool specially used for speed pass.
Although the current consciousness-connected VR technology prevents ordinary players from cheating, it is not ruled out that some technically powerful hackers can make some unknown modifications.
Therefore, this speedrun timer is necessary. Without it, the speedrun website will not recognize the results.
At the beginning of the video, Ye Luo's game character flies directly towards the lighted hut in front of the garbage dump.
Ignoring the radio on the table, I grabbed the night vision goggles in the dark before the prompt came on, and put them on while running outside.
When walking through the dark alley, the night vision goggles were only half worn, but it didn't matter. He walked directly through the dark, put on the night vision goggles just in time to see the outline of the edge platform, grabbed it with both hands, and quickly turned it up.
What followed was a section of parkour and climbing with almost no unnecessary movements. At several consecutive beam positions, his movements hardly paused and he jumped at extremely fast speeds.
The barrage also made me stunned for a while.
"Good guy, are you in a hurry?"
“It looks like they are in a hurry to get a refund!”
"This parkour action is simply pleasing to the eye, and it is not much different from some parkour athletes in reality."
"Sitsuye also learned parkour. Although he certainly cannot compare with parkour athletes in reality, in the game, it is his home field."
"It's so smooth. Every step is calculated. There is no time to think or pause at all!"
Soon, the location of the first zombie was reached in the video.
Many players have been defeated by this zombie before. Like Liu Liang, many people subconsciously ran to the room with sunlight, only to be bitten by the zombies crazily.
At present, many people think that the correct solution is to run towards the collapsed file cabinet in the corridor. After crossing the file cabinet, the zombies will stay in the corridor, moving slowly because there is no sunlight. Then the player will go around a little and return to where the zombies originally were.
That room, this level is over.
However, Ye Luo's choice was completely different. He actually pushed the door open and ran towards the zombies!
Sure enough, the zombie turned around immediately and rushed over with its bloody mouth open.
However, Ye Luo kept walking, lowered his head suddenly, and at the same time gently pushed up with his shoulders, making an "iron mountain leaning" movement.
As soon as the zombie turned around, Ye Luo had already dug into his armpit. This moment made the zombie lose its center of gravity and staggered.
The running posture of zombies is not standard, and their balance is very poor. It is only because of their physical strength that they can run fast.
When it pounced towards Ye Luo again, Ye Luo had already directly supported the window frame with one hand and flew out smoothly.
The moment he flew out, he twisted his body, firmly grasped the edge of the window sill with both hands, braced his feet on the wall, and moved sideways quickly using his hands and feet together.
At the same time, he tilted his head to avoid the zombie's hand reaching out from the window.
"I wipe it?"
"Zombie: What happened just now? A big black rat?"
"Good guy, I didn't even see what was going on, but the zombies were already passed by?"
"There's something about this iron mountain support. Can it directly push up zombies and make them unstable?"
"Just try the game when you get back!"
"Don't try! I just tried it and the zombies are very cruel..."
"Hahaha, don't look at the simplicity in the video. In order to practice this move, Yotsuba fell down from the top so many times. It was so miserable!"
The last post was obviously posted by an old viewer in Ye Luo’s live broadcast room.
These speedrunning masters will also live broadcast when practicing speedrunning, and the content of the live broadcast is often boring, just practice the stable processing of the same position over and over again.
The extremely smooth movements that the audience saw were the result of countless failures.
Soon, Ye Luo left the lower world at the speed of light and continued to move forward.
During this period, he also encountered various puzzle-solving links, but all of them were solved with a few quick clicks on the screen as quickly as planned.
After all, this is a fixed-route speedrun, not a random speedrun, so the decryption process will not change.
After walking with the cat, he became even more skillful in controlling the cat to perform various actions, and even cooperated with the cat to perform many sexy operations.
For example, you can attract zombies by yourself and let the cat run to the puzzle solving position in advance; let the cat distract the zombies to buy yourself time; you can even catch the cat and throw it upward to get to the place where you want to go in the game process in advance...
One person and one cat simply work together in tacit understanding, as if they are in a state of transformation.
The audience was also stunned for a moment.
"ah?"
"Is this okay?"
"How can humans and cats cooperate like this? You look stupid to me!"
"Why aren't my expert zombies so dumb?"
"It's like walking in your own backyard!"
“Speed passers are indeed not playing the same game as us…”
The players were all shocked. This game can still be played like this?
The detail processing in many places makes everyone feel as if they have opened the door to a new world and have a new understanding of this game.
This is the charm of speedrunning.
In fact, the biggest difference between speedrunning players and ordinary expert players is that they will carefully plan the speedrunning process, repeatedly study the game mechanics, and after dozens, hundreds or even thousands of attempts, they will pursue the theoretically fastest speed.
Customs clearance records.
Every detail here, whether it's an action of passing a zombie or a special climbing method in a certain place, is called a "puzzle".
Countless puzzles constitute a complete speed pass process.
Viewers who watch the live broadcast and those who do not watch the live broadcast have two completely different ideas when they see the same video.
Those watching the live broadcast know how many times the host has practiced in this place, and how lucky he is to pass it smoothly this time.
And those viewers who didn't watch the live broadcast could only feel "fuck that's awesome"!
Liu Liang was also dumbfounded. Did he really not expect that the game could be played like this?
But he also found a way to comfort himself.
"Viewers! Have you noticed that this speed record is a fixed route speed record?
"Lao Niu, I challenge the random route expert difficulty, which is even higher!
"So it's not that I'm too bad, it's that the difficulty I chose was too high! If I had chosen a fixed route, maybe I could have passed the level within thirty hours!
"How about I go back and show you a speedrun on expert difficulty with a random route?
"Ahem, I'm just joking! I'm joking! Don't take it seriously!"
There will be another chapter later, and there are only two chapters today, which just ends this volume.
