Chapter 766 Easter eggs: a gift from the traveler Bao Xu
It’s really a blessing to be an old player of Tengda. Other game companies basically ignore old players. Old games will not be updated at all and are simply waiting to die.
On the other hand, Tengda will never give up on a game no matter how old it is. As long as old players persist, they can always wait for new content!
That's outrageous.
However, while sighing, Qiao Liang couldn't help but be a little curious, because it was clearly stated in the update announcements of these two games that there were some easter eggs here.
"It's okay. I just don't have anything to do recently. I can play it in the afternoon and see what new content the DLC of these games has."
Qiao Liang packed up the Moyu takeout tableware and put it at the door, waiting for the takeaway boy to come and recycle it. Then he turned on his computer and bought the DLC of two games, preparing to play them in the afternoon.
"The DLC of "The Lonely Desert Highway" actually sells for 5 yuan, which is 5 times more expensive than the main body? Amazing."
Qiao Liang immediately purchased the DLC of the two games and started downloading the DLC game resources.
First I took a look at the DLC of "Lonely Desert Highway" which sells for 5 yuan.
The main content of this update should be the online mode and various random scenes. The amount of art resources and gameplay content are much more than the original game, so the price of the DLC has also been increased.
In the online mode, you can play hacker games with your friends and play "Not Lonely Desert Convoy". However, Qiao Liang is not optimistic about this gameplay because he really doesn't want to drive for eight hours now, not to mention he doesn't
I don’t think I can find a friend who is willing to drive eight hours with me.
However, the official should have taken this into consideration, so some additional changes have been added: you can randomly match netizens to solve the problem of no one driving together; you can have voice chat to solve the boring problem of driving on the road; if your vehicle breaks down, you can wait for netizens to rescue you.
Solved the problem of having to start over once failed, causing players to feel too frustrated.
"This change is actually not bad." Qiao Liang nodded slightly, approving of the official change.
On the surface, these changes seem to go against the original intention of the game "Lonely Desert Highway". After all, this game is a game that specializes in torturing players. One of the important reasons why it has become so popular is that,
The eight-hour drive cannot make any mistakes, otherwise it will have to start all over again, which stimulates the players' masochism and novelty-seeking mentality.
If it weren't for this harsh condition, this simple game wouldn't have stood out. It became popular because of a video by Qiao Liang.
But in fact, as of now, it is no longer necessary to maintain such difficulty.
Because "Lonely Desert Highway" has become an old antique game, all the players who are willing to buy it have already bought it, and it is no longer possible to expect new players to be abused and fall into the trap.
In this case, it is better to change the original harsh gameplay and find other fun for veteran players.
For some new players, if you want to be abused, don't turn on the online mode. The single-player mode is still as difficult as before; if you feel that you can't hold on, you can turn on the online mode and join other players. If it breaks down, you can still hitchhike, which is considered friendly.
many.
Although Qiao Liang was very resistant to running away anymore, he still invited a few people from the fan group to play the "Lonely Desert Highway" online mode together.
Because he wanted to see the Easter egg of this so-called "Traveler Bao Xu".
Needless to say, I could really find people in the fan group who were willing to drive together, and the team soon filled up. There were eight people in total, each of whom chose a different vehicle skin to form a convoy, and they lined up in a long queue on the lonely desert road.
We lined up in an S shape for a while...I'm sorry, I didn't, because there was only one way.
Make jokes while moving forward according to the established route.
It's just that the more you drive in the process, the fewer cars there are.
Because once you lose concentration, the car will stall in the desert, and you can only take the next car, and it can be "resurrected" an hour later. There were eight cars at the beginning, but it became seven as the car continued.
It became six cars...
Some people make mistakes when driving because they are not paying attention, and some people are simply too lazy to drive, so they deliberately drive their cars into the desert and wait for others to take a ride.
Of course, different cars can carry different passengers. In the most extreme case, there may be no space in the convoy, so you have to wait alone for the cars behind you to pass by before you can take a ride.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and suddenly it seemed that this game didn't seem so masochistic.
After playing for a while, the "mirage" of DLC appeared.
There is still desert on both sides, but you can see different scenery in the desert, including European cities, desert pyramids, oases, tropical rainforests, etc...
Qiao Liang now knew why the five yuan was so expensive. It was all due to these scenes.
After driving for a while, a tanned man carrying a travel bag appeared on the road. He was standing on the roadside. There was no broken down vehicle next to him, which meant he was not a player.
Qiao Liang's eyes lit up: "That should be the traveler Bao Xu, pick him up quickly, there should be an easter egg!"
After "Bao Xu" got on the bus, he said a few polite words to everyone and expressed his gratitude to them for allowing him to take a ride.
Then every time he saw a new mirage, Bao Xu would have a few lines, with some vicissitudes in his tone.
"This is Honduras. I once came here by boat and encountered storms and huge waves. My boat seemed to be thrown into the sky and into the abyss. No wonder Columbus called this place the 'Abyss'. That was
An impressive memory..."
"This is Namibia, with a vast desert on one side and a vast sea on the other. In front of it is a cave landscape that has been eroded by wind and sand and is as concave and convex as the surface of the moon..."
"This is Dominica..."
Every time he passes by a mirage scenic spot, "Bao Xu" in the car will express his emotions and recall his thrilling or unforgettable journey in this place.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but sigh: "Okay, I can still be a tour guide in this game."
"Traveler Bao Xu" is originally a hero in GoG. Many players know the story of this employee's travel, but they don't know the details behind it.
As Mr. Pei's best friend, Qiao Liang certainly knew.
In fact, Bao Xu himself has only been to some of these places. After all, there are too many scenic spots in the world, and when Wang Xiaobin was making the DLC, he only decided on these scenes based on the ready-made resources available on the Internet.
Obviously, the producers treated "Traveler Bao Xu" as a meme. In the setting, he is a magical adventurer who has traveled to every corner of the world.
Of course, everyone thinks that Bao Xu has this potential. After all, he is still so young. If he travels for an average of one month every six months, it is really only a matter of time before he visits famous scenic spots around the world.
After driving for about 2 hours, Bao Xu said: "Okay, I got off the car when I got here. Thank you for letting me ride. I prepared a gift for you. I hope we can see you again."
Qiao Liang: "Huh? This should be the easter egg left behind!"
The system prompted that a new vehicle skin had been obtained and a new scene had been unlocked. Qiao Liang quickly quit the game to check.
Qiao Liang found that he had obtained a new vehicle skin. This was a miniature spaceship with a sci-fi feel, about the same size as a sports car, but with a pair of relatively compact spacecraft wings and no wheels, suspended in the air.
Qiao Liang opened the scene page again, where there are various scenes activated by players in the game.
One of the new scenes is on the surface of a dark red planet full of gravel, with various large and small craters visible around it, an alien scene straight out of a science fiction movie.
There seemed to be some huge caves in the distance. The entrances of the caves were dark, and it seemed that some terrible creatures were preparing to move.
"Hey, is this an Easter egg buried in the game? Does this mean that Mr. Pei's next game will be a science fiction game?"
"Don't mention it, this spaceship and scene match well with "Lonely Desert Highway"."
Qiao Liang carefully observed the spaceship and the new scene, and found that there seemed to be no other information in it. It seemed to just convey a message that Tenda's next new game should be a science fiction theme.
I don’t know exactly what type of game it is.
"Okay, okay, now that I have the skin and scene, I can go watch the DLC of "Game Maker"."
Qiao Liang gave the order and everyone immediately dispersed.
"Mr. Pei is such a thief. He knows that "Lonely Desert Highway" is sold cheaply and has many experienced players, so he deliberately lowered the difficulty of the game and added cool new cars and new scenes. Players who are even slightly interested will be able to play it.
Spend five yuan to buy it and play it with netizens to see new scenes and promote the new game..."
