My G-spot for games is relatively high, please forgive me for describing myself in such straightforward and even vulgar terms.
This is a sentence Xu Xiaolin often talks about.
And this is indeed the case.
As a professional media evaluator, Xu Xiaolin has worked from editor to chief editor over the years, always striving to be meticulous and penetrating in every evaluation.
Moreover, he has always been like Captain Dragonfly. He will never be impulsive and will never leave out any advantages or disadvantages; his evaluation will definitely be fair and beautiful.
But as his experience continues to grow, as he said himself, his excitement level 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.
But 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!]
When Xu Xiaolin controlled the BT to hold the machine gun and rifle, turned on the burst core to increase the rate of fire to the limit, and watched as sparks shot out from the enemy Titan's body and the health bar disappeared.
An unprecedented comfortable and transparent feeling extended from the soles of his feet 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 August heat, or taking off your clothes 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 embarked on a journey with BT.
According to the signal, Major Anderson is still 60 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.
Behind him, on the 100-meter-long sewer channel, IMC soldiers were littered with corpses, and enemy 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 would have been wiped out!'
'Thank God we still have you, sir!'
'That's very helpful, sir!'
'It's an honor to fight with you!'
‘…’
Whether they are riflemen or captains, they all call themselves "sir".
This made Xu Xiaolin, who was an acting pilot and actually a rifleman, feel a little ashamed.
However, it is more 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 his wish and picked up BT's first accessory - [Powerful].
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 of "mechas being too powerful and causing players' interest to drop 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——
The mecha is too big to be able to fly over walls like a pilot, so the pilot needs to enter the factory to open a series of gates for BT.
During the battle, BT will not be completely invisible.
It will always guide you, provide you with suggestions, help you scan 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 Pilot be left alone:
【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 by groups of explosive spiders all over the street, asking BT to open 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 Three".
A bit silly and cute.
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 precision in controlling the player's psychology.
Gu Sheng knew very well that after the short separation in this level, the players would start to miss the powerful BT again.
As a result, 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 its use.
Under the sound of a semi-automatic rifle, the rocket core started.
The bombarding visual experience makes people's adrenaline surge rapidly, making them addicted.
It can be said!
Play here!
Xu Xiaolin’s evaluation of this game is 99 points.
That's right.
Almost close to 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 that's the truth.
From a plot point of view, Gu Sheng spent half an hour portraying Captain Lastimosa with 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, Pilot and Titan have a clear division of labor, each has their own strengths, and the division of labor and collaboration are clear.
And the teasing 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 till 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:
"Maybe my requirements are too high,"
"After all, after playing it this far, this game is already considered extremely good,"
"The plot quality and gameplay are great, and I actually wanted the level design to be unique,"
"It's really...a bit greedy."
Talk!
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 Major Anderson. This is the only way to survive]
While talking, Xu Xiaolin also picked up another set of Titan components [Flame] at the entrance of the factory.
After replacing the new components, Xu Xiaolin was about to test it out 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 Corps was also monitored by him.
The question quickly received a response from the woman named Ash:
"Please speak 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."
"Understanding" the woman's voice came out again: "It's over."
hiss--
Xu Xiaolin, who overheard the conversation, couldn't help but take a deep breath.
I think this Supernova also designed his image in the game too cleverly.
Just by not replying, I realized that Ken had been killed by me.
Maybe, he has also learned about his eavesdropping on the mercenary group's channel.
nothing to say.
let's hit.
BT thinks so too.
[BT: SamGu, he is a war criminal that the resistance has been pursuing. Now he is 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 been spoken!
Xu Xiaolin was stunned by the sight in front of him.
But 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 terminal is a shortcut. Look at your heads-up display to find the console]
Having said that, Xu Xiaolin saw a marker point appear in his UI interface, which was in the control room diagonally opposite. He needed to jump over the wall to open it.
"Okay, I hope it's a shortcut..."
Xu Xiaolin pouted, noncommittal.
laugh--
laugh--
The jumping device behind him started, and Xu Xiaolin came to the control room.
Follow BT's prompts and start the control panel.
But the next second!
Just listen to the alarm bells ringing suddenly in the factory!
[Warning! Warning! Unauthorized Titan discovered 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?!"
But 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!
This tense yet 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 much, 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 even more because at this moment, in front of him, was the level design called [Step into the Void].
Following BT's instructions in the voice, Xu Xiaolin went all the way down.
After going around and around, we followed the water pipeline and entered 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.
Standing at the beginning of the assembly line, Xu Xiaolin felt like a dwarf falling into 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!
Activate 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, followed the steel frame next to him and made a sliding wall jump, bypassed the plate press, and turned back again.
And now!
The cement slab that was just bare now has a strip of turf.
then!
The assembly line continues to move forward!
The steel bars are criss-crossed!
Xu Xiaolin dodged and moved around, trying to walk through the steel bars, while continuing to face a steady stream of pursuers.
After the production line passed, frame steel beams were poked out of the cement and turf ground.
then!
Fixed bunkers, combat dummies, iron walls...
In 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!
He was shocked beyond measure!
Yes!
Gu Sheng actually used a passive motion level design that he had never heard of in this level!
Players themselves don’t really need to explore and move in a large area!
All level processes are carried out on that moving cement board!
On this concrete slab, players not only have to fight back at all times, but also find a way to survive on the dangerous production line!
Even better!
In this constant movement, players will watch as the area they are in is enriched, set up, and assembled!
That is to say!
This level!
Gu Sheng immobilized the player, but made the entire level move!
What an astonishing ingenuity this is!
The more Xu Xiaolin played, the more frightened he became!
How many years?
Five years? Ten years?
I have been in the gaming industry for so many years!
I 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!
laugh--
Click!
As his cement slab with house grass rises.
A wide 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 they piece together the venue, but they also perfectly completed the last 1 point of the 99 points!
With the venue set up completed!
Ash's voice also sounded in the training venue!
[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 wonderful thing lies in the logical design of the level!
BT's shortcut proposal once again caused trouble. The ridiculous and unexpected situation forced players to go deep into this assembly factory located in an empty mountain!
The second best thing! The best part 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!
It wasn't until the last moment that the players realized that the concrete slab they were on was just a piece of the puzzle to build the 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 -
Connected from beginning to end, wonderful ideas!
One hundred percent!
full!
