Chapter 5 This game can really make people think about life
"Hey? This is the beginning."
The water in the electric kettle hadn't boiled yet, so Qiao Liang ignored it for the time being and entered the game.
There is nothing at the beginning of the game, no opening animation, and no various options, just enter the scene directly.
In the vast desert, a road winds and stretches into the distance.
The perspective of the game is in the car, and there is a simple instruction interface. The operation methods are divided into two types: keyboard and controller, which are completely consistent with the mainstream racing games on the market.
Qiao Liang looked at the picture and found that the operation was okay.
After all, this is a set of templates, the upper limit is not high, and the lower limit is not very low either.
Qiao Liang took the controller from the side, connected it to the computer, and started the game.
The car started.
Qiao Liang drove forward along the desert road.
The time in the game now is morning, the sun has just risen, and the light is not so dazzling yet.
The sand in the desert is constantly flying, and you can see bursts of sandstorms in the distance. These sandstorms will affect the game's field of vision, sometimes making visibility very low.
The desert road winds forward, not in a straight line, but with turns at regular intervals.
"Click." The water in the kettle has boiled.
Qiao Liang was driving the car, lost in thought.
What am I doing?
What should I do?
What does this game want me to do?
He had been driving for three minutes and had indeed made several turns, but...
Other than that he didn't see anything that interested him.
Driving, turning, watching the wind and sand blowing in the distance, other than that, there is nothing else in this game.
Even on this desert road, no other cars passed by!
Qiao Liang wanted to soak the noodles first and subconsciously pressed the menu button.
The result was no response.
Qiao Liang: "????"
In other games, pressing this button will pause it, but in this game, there is no response at all!
Qiao Liang thought there was a bug in the game and it did not support controllers. He pressed the ESC key, space bar, and enter key on the keyboard one after another...
Still no response!
This game cannot be paused!
Qiao Liang was completely shocked.
While he was in shock, he didn't pay attention to controlling the direction of the car. He missed a turn and ran off the road, causing his tires to sink into the sand.
【GAME OVER】.
Eight simple letters appeared on the screen.
Qiao Liang opened his mouth wide and his whole body fell into a daze.
This game refreshed his understanding of bad games!
No, strictly speaking, this is not a "bad game".
"Bad games" are often caused by insufficient levels of producers, insufficient funds, and gaps in objective capabilities. They can only compromise on some aspects, giving players a shoddy feeling.
But that's not the case with this game.
It seems to be disgusting!
Otherwise, why doesn’t there even have a pause function, and every time it fails, the game will be over without a save point?!
"Wait, this game seems interesting..."
"If you make a complaint video, maybe it will go viral?"
Qiao Liang hurriedly soaked the noodles in hot water, and then ate while studying the name and introduction of the game.
"A lonely desert road. I also specially emphasized the word "lonely"!"
"A simulated driving journey to think about life... Well, indeed, I am really thinking about life. This introduction did not lie to me at all..."
"It seems like this game is really full of malice!"
"The company that developed this game is called Tenda Network Technology Co., Ltd. I've never heard of it. This seems to be their only game."
"Tsk..."
After finishing the instant noodles, Qiao Liang picked up the handle again.
But this time, he opened the video recording software and prepared to record the entire process of his game.
…
Three hours later.
Qiao Liang's spirit relaxed a little, and he failed to turn a corner. The car sank into the sand, and the game ended.
"ah!"
"Fuck fuck fuck fuck...!!!"
Qiao Liang almost hit the handle on the table in anger. Three hours!
After driving in the desert without doing anything for three hours, the GAME OVER on the screen ruthlessly announced his failure.
Three precious hours of his life were just taken away from him, creating no value except wasting electricity.
The recorded video is also useless. After a full 3 hours of recording, only the last few seconds can be used, which can be cut into the failure highlights.
Qiao Liang threw the controller on the computer table and stood up to calm down.
He didn't drop the controller because he was poor.
After all, this handle costs more than 200 yuan. If it breaks, Qiao Liang will be very distressed.
"call……"
"calm."
"It's all about work."
"Great, this game managed to make me angry, which is a very good trait for a crappy game."
Qiao Liang quickly regained his composure.
As a UP owner who specializes in complaining about garbage games, I have never seen any big storms. I should be able to hold on to such a small scene.
However, Qiao Liang also realized that it is not an easy task to get through this game.
It's a challenge!
So, Qiao Liang called and ordered a takeaway.
Fortunately, the game ended early. If it had been later, the takeout would not have been delivered.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Qiao Liang lay on the bed and took a nap to regain his energy.
After waking up and eating enough, Qiao Liang put a large glass of water on the table and prepared for a long battle.
He already kind of understands the game.
Is this game difficult? No.
It is no exaggeration to say that you can pass the level with your hands.
There are no sharp corners, no police cars that will rush to cause trouble, and there are no requirements on the player's speed.
The only difficulty is time!
It took less than three hours to finish the whole journey, and I still don’t know how long the journey will be.
In order to finish the race quickly, players will habitually accelerate and run at the maximum speed of the vehicle, but this requires more concentration, otherwise they may not be able to turn in time when encountering a curve.
Once you get off the track, you have to start all over again.
If you want to be safer, you have to drive slower, but in this case, the game time will be longer.
"Cheating, really cheating!"
Qiao Liang felt that his desire to challenge and complain was as high as ever.
If this game could be made into a rant video, the title alone would attract a lot of clicks!
Qiao Liang gritted his teeth and continued to fight in the game.
Qiao Liang almost wanted to cry, he finally saw the finish line!
It was a very common finish line, seemingly using common art resources found in many racing games, but to Qiao Liang at this time, the black and white grid finish line on the ground was so familiar.
It just brought tears to my eyes!
He took the handle and stood up from the computer chair.
I have backache, my hands are a little cramped, and my eyes can hardly be opened because I stayed up too late.
But, for eight full hours, I persevered!
It all makes sense!
Qiao Liang was so moved, what kind of spirit is this!
The moment he crossed the finish line, Qiao Liang felt like he was possessed by the car god!
At this time, he was the most handsome boy on the track.
But then, the screen went black and a line of words appeared.
"Congratulations, you successfully wasted 8 precious hours of your life!"
