Chapter 146 A new boat experience! Arriving at Kings Canyon!
"APEX is online today, and the new skill settings have aroused heated discussion among players"
"Have you ever seen an FPS where you can zoom in on moves? APEX is logged in today!"
"Will skill settings be acclimatized in FPS games? Looking at the prospects of APEX design from the perspective of Catastrophe of the Gods——"
"Carry out charity? It is said online that the APEX in-app purchase model will completely abandon attribute sales. Is it true or false?"
"Is it a fake PUBG, or is it another epoch-making pioneering work? The answer will be revealed at 8 o'clock tonight!"
"Popular but not popular - many game industry insiders make judgments on the APEX launch situation"
"A new high! Since the release of the APEX promotional video yesterday, Titanfall's single-day sales have increased, setting a new high this month"
"..."
Guess, analyze, applaud, question...
Media reports are pouring in.
In just half a day, APEX has reached the top of the popularity lists of major gaming social platforms.
Countless players are looking forward to it, waiting for the game to open at 8pm.
Although, the promotional video was released yesterday.
But as the promotional cards were released, more questions followed——
What is the difference between APEX and PUBG?
Is the combination of FPS + skills good for the game?
What exactly is Golden Wind’s so-called ‘pure green’ in-app purchase model?
With many questions!
Eight o'clock in the evening!
Among the major live broadcast platforms, a blood-red flag is flying!
good!
Because most games have given up on the game this time, the entire new game market has become vacant.
APEX, which was officially released during this gap period, naturally occupied the vast majority of publicity resources.
This publicity was not bought by Golden Wind, nor was it helped by the entertainment industry, but was spontaneously initiated by various live broadcast platforms and anchors!
After all, everyone can see that APEX is now on the rise.
No one wants to let go of this cake, everyone wants to take a bite!
"Come on Brother Qie! I can't take it anymore! I'm going to start hunting right now! I can't wait any longer!"
In the live broadcast room, Winter Melon's hyperthyroidism voice sounded, urging Eggplant to go online quickly.
And as Winter Melon urged, another voice also sounded, with a strong Dalieba accent:
"Hurry up, hurry up, hubby, I miss you so much!"
As soon as this voice appeared, the entire live broadcast room was in a sensation!
'Damn it! Maozi is back!'
‘Hahahahahahahaha, that’s so right!’
‘Damn it, long time no see, no!’
‘It’s really awesome, this wave of APEX has straightened out everything’
‘Maozi’s local dialect still has the same flavor hahahaha...’
The person speaking in the live broadcast room is called Maozi, and he is also a pure old Maozi, a foreign friend.
I got acquainted with Eggplant and others through live broadcasts before, and even formed a team together.
But later due to physical reasons, I returned to Mao Country, and it has been quiet for more than a year now.
Now that he has reappeared in the live broadcast room, many old fans are cheering.
Although Maozi did not live broadcast today, it was enough to surprise people that he could appear in the game.
"Come on, come on, let's get started!"
After calling for a long time, Eggplant finally wiped his mouth with the curtain and entered the somatosensory cabin:
"Today Maozi is back. In the first game, he played the horse and got the chicken. Everyone in the live broadcast room showed me how to watch and learn from it!"
Talk!
A three-person team has also been formed.
In general!
After entering the game, most anchors will go to the training ground to familiarize themselves with the game.
Although APEX is also a battle royale game, after all, its settings are also very different from PUBG.
Especially for the skill setting, even if you don't try it all, you should at least read the introduction and understand the basic principles.
However!
Who are these three people?
They are all hyperthyroidism war gods!
They have been waiting for this APEX project for a long time!
As soon as the promotional video was released yesterday, the team was formed, and the wait is now!
Let them slow down, get familiar with the game, and be fully prepared before joining the battle?
There is no door!
Click——!!!
Match was clicked on the spot!
After all, the game has just been launched, and it is free, with a huge number of online players.
Seconds!
The viewers in the live broadcast room were all stunned——
‘Are you rushing to refund money? But isn’t this a free game?’
'You really can't wait a second, can you?'
‘I saw other anchors were still looking at the skill introductions, but these three have already started playing it’
‘Learn while you’re shooting. Real knowledge comes from practice. If you skydive a few more times, you’ll understand everything.’
‘The most outstanding thing about our team is that we have no brains’
'Pure and reckless man...'
Amidst the discussion!
Three people also entered the game!
The selection interface appears, and ten legends appear on the interface.
Eight of them are lit and can be selected.
The avatars of the two legends at the bottom—a woman with gray hair and aviator sunglasses, and another man wearing windproof goggles and an oxygen mask—are dark, indicating that tokens are required to unlock them.
After a brief discussion, the three of them selected the lineup from the first eight available legends.
They are the evil spirit of Winter Melon, the illusion of Mao Zi, and the robot of Eggplant.
The lineup is exactly the same as the promotional video.
After all, they knew nothing about the skills of the others, except these three people who were somewhat familiar with them.
Evil spirits travel through the void, illusions are phantoms that deceive enemies, and robots glide with hooks and locks!
Simple!
As the screen darkens!
Whoosh——!!!
The biting wind blew in the ears of the three of them!
And as the scene in front of me emerged, I heard a strange scream from Maozi in the live broadcast room!
"WDNMD is not included in the flight ticket we bought!"
But see you!
At this time, the three people were suspended in the air by a mechanical arm, flying with the transport plane!
At the foot of the Kings Canyon, there are many mountains and rivers.
In this desolate canyon, there are still many residential buildings.
It prefers a bright style of painting, which instantly distinguishes it from the realistic style of PUBG!
‘Damn it! This picture is so dreamy!’
'It feels like it's right between science fiction and cartoon style, it's fun and interesting!'
‘This painting style is so bright’
‘After all, it’s a competition, this is a competition venue, not an island anymore’
‘It feels quite different from PUBG, I’ll give it another try if I’m not sure…’
When Winter Melon and Eggplant looked at the majestic Canyon of the Kings below them, their eyes lit up.
After taking a quick look around, Eggplant saw a prompt appear on his heads-up display——
In this work, due to the comprehensive upgrade of the full-sensory system, many details have been further enhanced.
The strong wind roaring in my ears even caused the sound of the winter melon to be distorted in the air.
Hearing this, Eggplant also quickly opened the map and took a look.
On the map, there are two light blue circle marks.
One hoop is located in the wetlands in the northeast of the map, while the other hoop is in Skull Town in the southwest.
According to the map legend, any area covered by a basketball hoop is a 'high-value trophy area'.
To put it simply, it is a place where you can buy good guns, armor, and accessories.
At this time, the plane was flying from the west to the east, and happened to pass by Skull Town.
"Shit! Got it! Isn't this the hell P city! Let's jump to Skull Town! Just hit the ground and shoot!"
Hearing this, Donggua and Maozi nodded again and again!
“Do it, do it, do it!”
"Steel gun, steel gun! Let's do it to Suka Bulie!"
"Go, go, go! Three two one! Rush!!!"
Click!
As soon as the mechanical arm is released!
The three of them felt that their bodies were empty, and they fell directly from the transport plane!
At the same time, the propulsion system behind them also started simultaneously, and brilliant and flamboyant smoke was sprayed out. The three of them simply adjusted their posture in the air, and then glided towards Skeleton Town like eagles spreading their wings!
The noisy biting wind in my ears, the rapidly enlarging canyon in front of me, and even the breathing difficulties caused by the pressure difference caused by high-speed flight!
With the blessing of the upgraded version of full-sensory technology, during the deployment phase of the game, players get a stimulating experience that far exceeds that of PUBG skydiving!
"Wu——hu——!!!"
The three people screamed happily and flew towards Skull Town, trailing streaks of colorful smoke behind them!
"WDNMD! This is so cool!!!"
“This thruster is so awesome! It’s so cool!”
"This is exciting! DNMD is so exciting!"
The three of them shouted!
There were also exclamations in the live broadcast room!
'Holy shit, hahahahahaha, this is too exaggerated!'
‘It’s really a live exhibition match! The propellers even have colored smoke!’
'It tastes so good!'
'This thruster looks great!'
'A little golden wind shocks!'
‘This is really a technological advancement, the parachute bag has turned into a propeller’
‘I can’t imagine how great this skydiving experience will be with the new generation of full-sensory assistive technology’
‘Just look at these three guys and you’ll know’
'Hahahahahaha, it feels like three of us have already started to suffer from hyperthyroidism before the fight started...'
‘…’
There was a lot of yelling!
However!
Don’t wait for eggplant’s excitement to pass!
suddenly!
Just next to me, I heard a strange cry from winter melon!
"Hey! Hey!"
"What the fuck, something's wrong with eggplant!"
"Eggplant, eggplant, eggplant, hurry up and turn the corner! Don't jump to Skull Town!"
"Go to the nearby Thunder Castle!"
"Turn! Quick - turn - turn -!!!"
at this time!
Eggplant was still enjoying the feeling of free flight brought by the propeller. He was a little confused and looked back at Winter Melon:
"Why go to Lei——Wo! De! Fa!!!"
But see you!
Right behind them now!
The colorful smoke is blooming like a rainbow at this moment, filling the sky, all of them are players competing for Skull Town!!!
The strong visual impact is so shocking!
The tension of the picture, which is better than blue, makes the hair on Eggplant's body stand on end!
horrible!
although!
It’s not like he hasn’t experienced dozens of people fighting to seize P City before. Even compared to PUBG, the maximum number of people in a game of APEX is only 60, which is nearly half less than PUBG.
but!
When he saw countless streaks of colorful smoke streaking across the sky, countless teams were gliding and swooping towards him like mad dogs!
The huge pressure still made his scalp numb for a while!
But at the same time!
It also gave him an adrenaline rush!
"Run? My horse can't run a little today! I will be the mayor of Skull Town today!!!"
Talk!
The eggplant was plunged into the ground with a sudden thrust!
The propeller behind him automatically flipped over, and the recoil caused his rapidly falling body to slowly decelerate, and finally landed smoothly!
"Go, go, go! Find a gun, find a gun, find a gun!!!"
Eggplant is going crazy, as if on stimulants:
"DNM will die today! Skeleton Town can only have one mayor!"
However, the words have not yet fallen!
I heard the public voices coming from more teams coming one after another behind me!
"My husband scolded me!"
"Maozi! Maozi, I love you more than anything else!"
"Don't run away, Donggua! I am your fan, Donggua! I am a Taiwanese girl, Donggua!"
"Chasing, chasing, chasing! Fuck them! Don't come here to punch!"
"Knife him! Knife him with him! Knife him with him!!!"
"..."
In fact, in the original APEX, there was no public voice.
But Gu Sheng felt that this function was quite effective, so he continued it.
Of course, if you dislike the noise, you can manually turn it off like PUBG.
However, Eggplant and the others entered the game too hastily.
They haven't even entered the training level, let alone debugging the settings.
At this moment, there were more than 20 people behind him shouting "Knife him!", which made Eggplant tremble all over!
"Fuck! Fuck, don't fight, don't fight! I'm the anchor! DNM, I'm the anchor!!!"
But the water friends are fighting the anchor!
A random punch!
The eggplant was beaten until it was so embarrassed that it ran away with its head in its hands!
In desperation, he remembered his own skills, stretched out his hand and activated the hook!
Boo! Chichi—boring!
The hook lock ejected and was firmly nailed to the wall not far away!
Relying on his basic skills in TTF, Eggplant made a sliding tackle and then took off!
Whoosh!
The next second, he was thrown up with the inertia of the hook!
Take off on the spot, like a thrown hammer, and run away towards the distance!
The barrage was full of exclamations——
‘Fuck!!! So handsome!!!’
'Brother Qie, you are not going to bully me. If you have been in a lot of big fights, you will naturally know how to use the skills.'
'Hahahahahaha...'
‘Wori’s skill is so silky smooth!’
‘This is a bit fun! Wouldn’t it be possible to use the hook to move quickly and even reach high points?’
'Indeed! Damn, this is so interesting!'
‘Wouldn’t it be a show-off if you play this thing well?’
"Although he is running away, I have to say that Brother Qie is quite good this time."
'This skill system... seems a bit fun, brothers!!!'
‘…’
The eggplant is scurrying around!
On the other side, Winter Melon and Maozi took advantage of the chaos and touched the box to grow!
But!
Neither of them seemed to have very good luck.
Obviously according to the marks on the map, this is a high-end trophy area, but what is discouraging is that, let alone high-end trophies, they couldn't find even the most common gun!
Bang!
Rushing out of a low bungalow, Winter Melon and Maozi ran non-stop to a two-story building opposite!
Kicking the door open, Winter Melon took the lead and jumped up the stairs:
"Maozi, you search the first floor and I'll go to the second floor!"
Although at this time!
The game has only started for less than five minutes!
But Donggua can still clearly feel the essential difference in game rhythm between APEX and PUBG!
The pace of APEX is much faster than PUBG!
It can be said that from the moment they left the transport plane, the fast pace of the game was like a wave, carrying everyone participating in this game forward!
Silos opened one after another, and fierce gunshots exploded in Skeleton Town!
The map is reduced, the rooms are arranged compactly, the movement speed is accelerated, and there are a variety of props to choose from!
Every detail of the change seems not to be particularly eye-catching.
But when they are put together, the pace of the game takes off on the highway!
The key is!
The skill design of each legend is so exquisite!
The bloodhound's scan can reveal the enemy's position, the robot's hook lock can maneuver three-dimensionally, and the corrosive gas canister can force people out of the room...
Attack, defense, auxiliary movement!
There are so many tactical means and countermeasures in this APEX!
So much so that the slow-paced gameplay in PUBG has no place here!
this moment!
The anchors understand it, the players understand it, and so do the countless media who experienced it for the first time!
If PUBG is a trickle of water with occasional turbulence.
Then APEX is a river that is always flowing and growing!
