[bt, Cooper, how is the situation? Have you received it? Please reply.]
[Cooper, this is Commander Sarah Blissig. If you hear me, please go to the bridge one kilometer north of you.]
[You are the only key to us turning defeat into victory. We are here to fold the space-time weapon. 】
【Here we come. It’s not over yet.】
In the level.
The voice of the rebel commander kept ringing on the communication channel.
At the end, she seemed a little apologetic.
But Jack Cooper turned a deaf ear, and the dialogue options never popped up from beginning to end.
He never said a word, just killing imc soldiers along the way under the control of the player.
And Kong Bo in front of the screen didn't want to answer.
Even so far, the game process is not too long.
But the two protagonists in the plot are actually very well portrayed.
Not just bt.
And Jack Cooper.
Anyone who has played the game can probably clearly feel what kind of existence Jack Cooper is.
He is not an extroverted protagonist in the traditional sense. On the contrary, he is a relatively autistic and introverted individual.
Because he had always been a rifleman with the lowest rank on the battlefield, and the environment itself did not allow for much communication. Then he suddenly became a pilot, and he was even full of self-confidence.
There are many levels ahead.
Jack Cooper has very little communication with his colleagues and superiors.
Captain Lastimosa died, and he just buried him in silence.
In the first level of the Signal Tower, faced with the praises of his colleagues and the requests of the resistance troops, it was almost all BT that communicated. Jack Cooper remained silent from beginning to end.
And in the end, when the rebel commander wanted to transfer bt to other qualified pilots, he didn't say anything.
Even occasionally, he must say something to his colleagues.
It's generally very simple.
For example, when chasing an enemy ship earlier, if other pilots complimented him, he would simply reply.
Very mechanical, just like facing superiors.
But only when communicating with bt.
Jack Cooper talks a lot.
He would joke with bt, tease it for taking shortcuts, tell it to fall in love when it finds new equipment, jump into the water and let bt come down with it, and teach it to give a thumbs up...
Communication between one person and one machine occupies almost all dialogue options.
During this time.
bt has gradually transformed from a machine into a flesh-and-blood ‘person’.
And Jack Cooper gradually revealed his true side, no longer just a cold title - 'Rifleman Jack Cooper'.
In a galaxy-level war, human life is just a number after all. Cooper and Titan BT are like a drop of water in the ocean. To put it more seriously, one person and one machine are actually just small figures in this war.
The resistance also has numerous Vanguard-class Titans and many Pilots.
But that's why.
Under this cruel reality.
The adventures the two share and their gentle warmth are made even more precious.
but now.
bt was destroyed right in front of me...
How could Jack Cooper not be angry?
How can the players who are taking this adventure together not be angry?
At this time, silence and killing!
That's the best answer!
Jack Cooper has just become a pilot! Before that, he was just a taciturn rifleman! Captain Lastimosa who trained him is dead! It was bt who accompanied him through this period!
Fuck you.
Kong Bo gritted his teeth and was more serious than ever before, controlling Jack Cooper and killing all the enemies he saw on the road one by one.
Leave no one behind!
Madly pouring out his anger.
until.
The voice of the rebel commander sounded again.
[There is also the last Vanguard-class Titan in the pilot.]
[I want to bring out the data core and prepare for Titan to land.]
Saw this conversation.
Obviously knowing that the game is not over yet and the Holy Ark has not yet been solved, the game will definitely not let players lose their Titans in a hasty manner.
Even Kong Bo knew deep down in his heart.
But I still couldn't help but feel happy.
ah!?
bt is still alive!?
In the game, he has controlled Jack Cooper and penetrated the entire defense line.
And we have arrived at the bridge one kilometer north.
And with that comes the Rebel Commander saying the Titans are ready.
The game prompts the player to land their Taita.
The sound of breaking through the air came.
An empty Titan with no intelligent core fell from the sky.
Jack Cooper came to the new Titan and installed the BT wisdom core he had been holding in his hand.
Then, the system restarts.
The vanguard titan in front of me came to life.
It slowly stood up, looked at Jack Cooper, and said hello.
【Hi, Jack.】
And Jack Cooper, who had been silent since the beginning, even if the resistance commander asked repeatedly, finally spoke.
【Nice to see you back, bt.】
[In fact, over 25,000 brand new parts. bt-7274 is launched and ready for battle - it's time to complete the mission.]
While bt answered, saying that the more than 20,000 parts on his body were all new, he raised the machine gun as thick as a pillar in his hand, placed it on the ground, and opened the cockpit.
Kong Bo pressed the e key.
In the game, Jack Cooper uses a machine gun to jump back into the cockpit.
Perspective changes.
Everything familiar is back.
The new BT also has a brand new weapon, a giant Gatling.
"ha."
When Kong Bo saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh. The anger in front of him all turned into joy at this moment.
It was precisely because of his recent loss that the feeling of reunion seemed so good. That made him feel that it felt great to have bt back.
Even if it's just a machine.
And in communications.
After a brief reunion.
The voice of the rebel commander sounded again.
The problem is not solved yet.
Even though the rebels are firing at imc with all their strength, they still can't stop the time and space folding weapons.
Now Jack Cooper must enter the control room.
Otherwise, the planet where the rebels are located will be destroyed.
"Fuck, I have to do it all!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kong Bo complained: "Okay, I'm here to show you what the Chosen Pilot is!"
As he spoke, he controlled the mecha and began to adapt to the new Titan equipment.
And after trying it.
have to say.
Giant Gatling.
It’s so cool!
A magazine has 150 rounds of bullets. In theory, if you hold it down, you can kill an enemy Titan!
This is a new experience that the previous Titan equipment cannot bring!
"Holy shit!"
Kong Bo held down the left mouse button and watched the barrel of the Gatling gun in front of him rotate crazily and the bullets poured out crazily. He couldn't help but exclaimed.
And this level.
The resistance finally came into use.
They will continue to provide fire support as Jack Cooper advances.
Jack Cooper, controlled by the player, fought his way from the outside to the inside with the help of new BT, new equipment, and fire support from friendly forces.
Killed dozens of Titans in a row!
Like a god of death.
And go indoors.
There is no way to cover it with air support.
Next, we can only rely on Jack Cooper and bt...
And at this time.
The top hunter has also delivered the holy cabinet, and imc has begun preparing the 'time and space folding weapon'.
And the target has been set to the rebel planet.
Success or failure depends on this battle!
Kong Bo, feeling a little nervous, controlled BT to the control room.
The control room door opens.
Two top hunters just happened to transport the Holy Ark.
Blisk, the founder of Apex Predator, also noticed Jack Cooper coming to the door of the control room.
He once again mocked Jack Cooper for always wanting to be a hero, and then told his subordinates: "He is yours, enjoy it slowly."
The camera zooms in.
That subordinate was none other than the top hunter who had just destroyed the old BT machine body - 'Sloan'.
Boss battle! Officially started!
But for the players in front of the screen.
This is the time for revenge!
"You're the only one doing the last hit, right!?"
When Kong Bo saw the name of the boss, he immediately recalled the scene at the beginning of the level. He stopped playing Gatling and switched to the initial weapon he was most familiar with. He was fully prepared!
He wants it once and for all!
Damn, you still have to whip the corpse!
But the disgusting level of this boss was beyond Kong Bo's expectation.
Not only is its attack power and attack frequency very high, it also almost combines the characteristics of the previous bosses.
He will run away even if his health is reduced!
Then let imc's Titan consume the player's Titan health, and then jump out.
And he would frequently ridicule and abuse players.
Very shameless.
And the other side.
The ‘Time and Space Folding Weapon’ is already being prepared and will enter the next stage after a while.
Full of tension.
This boss battle was the most tense for Kong Bo.
Because he didn't know if there was a time limit.
And he doesn’t want to die all over again!
Fortunately.
Kong Bo is really familiar with BT’s initial equipment.
And he is also really calm.
Just grind it little by little.
The blood volume of the boss ‘Sloan’ was completely wiped out.
When the boss ‘Sloan’’s blood volume turns red.
Kong Bo immediately stopped shooting, then controlled the BT to rush forward, choosing to finish in close combat.
When the boss screamed before dying, the mecha was destroyed by the BT cannonballs and died immediately.
"Cool!"
Kong Bo shouted directly and happily, as if he had taken a sip of iced Coke in the summer, which was extremely refreshing.
Treat others in their own way!
but.
There is not much time left for the players, BT and Jack Cooper to reflect on the battle they just fought.
The Apex Predator has just been eliminated here.
there.
The voice of the rebel commander rang out.
[Cooper, take the holy cabinet away before starting it! Quick! 】
There is no breathing room at all.
at the same time.
The time-space folding weapon has entered the final stage.
It's about to be launched.
It's not over yet!
Kong Bo quickly controlled the BT to arrive in front of the module containing the holy cabinet.
According to the game reminder, keep pressing the same button.
time does not wait.
bt began to use brute force to directly remove the shell violently.
Accompanied by the loud sound of steel breaking.
The shell was removed, and the blue energy light of the 'Holy Ark' filled the eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a huge jet impact struck.
bt was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the three screens in the cockpit were affected and turned off one by one.
The screen went black.
【Cooper! bt! Did you receive it!?】
The anxious voice of the rebel commander kept ringing.
Wait until the screen lights up again.
The voice of bt also sounded.
But its sound is no longer smooth, but instead seems to have reached its limit, full of lag and chaos.
[Cooper...the impact of the jet exceeded my...main internal system.]
【We are trying to restore the visual system.】
[The visual system has been repaired——fixed——]
[My analysis shows that throwing is the only way.]
ah?
in front of the screen.
Kong Bo was stunned.
BT, whose internal system had been greatly impacted, kept repeating, "Throwing is the only way."
Various alternating numbers of 0 and 1 are constantly flashing on the player's screen.
When BT activates the auxiliary power of the mecha, it is transferred to the backup energy source.
Only then did it finally say the next sentence.
【Cooper, please help me.】
[My autopilot system is disconnected.]
【Help me enter the injection assembly room, we have to cooperate. 】
And with bt’s words.
In the game, the first time the player takes a Titan, the main protocols of the Titan that they already know begin to appear in front of the screen.
[Protocol 1, Connect Pilot: Pilot Cooper——Connected]
And as the connection is completed.
bt slowly stood up.
Under the tragic music.
The voice of the rebel commander sounded again, and they could not come over in a short time.
The 'space-time folding weapon' must be destroyed internally, there is no other way.
And bt replied at this time that it has a way.
at the same time.
The second agreement appears on the cockpit screen.
[Protocol 2, stick to the mission.]
BT's method is very simple, which is to expose the core of its reactor and destroy the stability of the Holy Ark in the center of the space-time folding weapon... To put it simply, blow it up.
in front of the screen.
Kong Bo: "..."
in the game.
While sending the coordinates to the rebel army, BT deployed the launch pad in the control room under the control of Jack Cooper.
The display screen turned red.
Jack Cooper drove the BT and boarded the launch pad together.
at the same time.
Titan's third major agreement was displayed on the screen.
But there are only three errors above.
[Protocol Three, Error, Error, Error]
New dialogue options pop up.
The first option is very familiar to players.
It is the first level of the game, the options the player has when talking to bt...
【Don't worry, bt, I'm not going anywhere.】
in front of the screen.
When Kong Bo saw the dialogue options, he realized something, his breath froze, and he didn't want to choose.
I really don’t want to choose.
However, at the last second, the last second of the countdown, he still chose the first one...
perhaps.
This is also a good ending.
A warrior is willing to die and willing to die.
Dialogue selected.
Then, Jack Cooper's voice sounded, and he whispered:
[Don’t worry, bt, I’m right here and I’m not going anywhere.]
【Received, Iron Controller.】
bt's voice is as calm as ever.
at the same time.
Just showed error, error, error for protocol three.
Start changing and start flashing again.
On the other side, a harsh buzz sounded.
The launch pad begins to charge.
Starting from the front end, the dazzling red energy light source gradually lights up, the data board flashes continuously, and the emitted energy is about to be fully charged.
Then.
emission!
And at the moment BT and Jack Cooper were launched from the launch pad towards the 'Holy Ark'.
In the cockpit.
The flashing panel is finally loaded.
Agreement 1, Connect with Pilot.
Agreement two, stick to the mission.
Agreement Three, Protect the Pilot...
And the voice of bt also sounded again.
[Protocol Three, Protect the Pilot]
The mecha was shot out and quickly approached the holy cabinet.
BT suddenly opened the cockpit, and then its big mechanical hand reached into the hatch and grabbed Jack Cooper.
【What are you doing?】
Jack Cooper struggled, but to no avail.
He was taken out of the cockpit.
And bt raised Jack Cooper in mid-air, making a fist with his other hand, and at the same time his wisdom core turned to look at him. The familiar lines, the words bt said most often, rang out again——
【Believe me--】
Then, it threw Jack Cooper out with great force.
Jack Cooper, played by the player, quickly moved away from the Holy Ark, while bt, under the solemn and solemn music, flew directly into the Holy Ark.
Immediately afterwards.
A dazzling light flashed.
The explosion came with a bang.
bt self-destructed... along with the core of wisdom.
…
in front of the screen.
Kong Bo was stunned.
Seeing this scene, I felt a little suffocated.
Even though the escape phase came immediately, he did not move.
Because he didn't expect it.
This level.
It will end like this...
I lost bt at the beginning of the level, and my chest was filled with anger.
Then bt came back from the dead, and both Cooper and the players who were immersed in the plot experienced the joy of reunion.
Immediately afterwards, I lost bt again...
BT sent Cooper, who had decided to die together, out of the self-destruction...
When an action that should be done through emotion is done by a programmed process.
bt read out the cold agreement in a robot tone.
The familiar 'Protocol Three' sounded together with the familiar phrase 'Trust me'.
Kong Bo experienced a shocking feeling that could not be described in words but could not be calmed down for a long time.
"Fuck..."
Kong Bo couldn't help it anymore, and even felt his eyes were a little wet.
And when he looked at the screen again.
When I saw the evacuation coordinates marked by the rebel commander, I thought of BT's action of sending the coordinates to the rebels just now.
I couldn't bear it anymore.
bt has never thought about escaping, it can't escape, it wants to destroy the time and space folding weapon.
The reason for sending coordinates to the rebels.
Exactly so that Jack Cooper could escape.
bt everything is calculated.
"Fuck...you, you'd better be behind me! You'd better be behind me!"
"
Kong Bo shouted as he quickly jumped to the evacuation location.
The voice was a little choked.
His operation was somewhat distorted, but he still got on the evacuation plane.
The entire planet was destroyed because of the destruction of weapons.
And next, it was gone.
It has ended……
Subtitles pop up when you pass the level.
Kong Bo was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't bear it anymore.
“Linmu Studio!
You are simply not human!
New Year’s Eve! You guys... ugh..."
soon.
Kong Bo's choking voice sounded again in the room.
…
at the same time.
Mou Feng's family.
His progress is a little slower, but he has already reached the final few levels.
He was also excited about the Battle of the Hundred Tanks and shouted for the Pilot Legion.
And the same.
Play until the last level.
When I heard bt say ‘Protocol Three, protect the Pilot.’ and ‘Trust me!’.
When I saw the familiar mechanical hand reaching into the hatch, the familiar grabbing, the familiar throwing.
He also felt a little suffocated...and a little tearful.
In fact, companion NPCs are nothing new in single-player games.
Whether it's Lin Yao's previous games, such as the son in "God of War", Ellie in "The Last of Us", or Lisa White in "BioShock".
It’s still a game here.
In fact, there are companion NPCs.
This type of NPC can generally reduce players' loneliness when playing stand-alone games, and can play a role in promoting key plots.
And bt in "Titanfall" is undoubtedly this type of character.
Mou Feng actually understands these principles.
After all, he is also a practitioner in the gaming industry.
but.
No matter how much you know.
At this moment, these experiences are useless.
Because when he takes the player's perspective, the human sensibility completely takes over.
in particular.
In this level.
The player plays Jack Cooper.
I just lost bt, reunited with bt, and then lost again...
It can be said that as touching as the reunion between Cooper and BT was, it was also sad at the end.
The emotional line extends from beginning to end, from the beginning of the level to the end.
In this situation.
How can we look at it rationally...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Our mission saved Harmony."
"The rebels call this their headquarters, and millions of people call it home."
"Commander Briggs said I will be receiving a new Titan..."
"I don't know... what it's like to have a new Titan, but... I quite like the old one."
"Pilot Jack Cooper, end the call."
The end of the game.
Jack Cooper's voice sounded again.
Awakened Mou Feng.
He turned his attention to the screen again.
When I heard Jack Cooper's slightly hesitant voice at the end.
He took a deep breath, took off his glasses, and wiped his face vigorously.
Hold……
He really wants to play the next level right now.
really want.
Even if it’s just one level.
How he wants to see BT reappear.
Jack Cooper says that again: "Glad you came back alive, bt."
…
That night.
Because the single-player process of "Titanfall" is not too long.
So most players have passed the level.
And so many players have passed the level.
The impact on the player community...can be imagined.
Players don’t even care about which drama is not spoiled.
Once you open the forum.
The whole screen is filled with bt...
[bt... Before the Chinese New Year, I played games until I cried! I really couldn’t help it!]
[Textbook-like level design... Not only is it fun, but it also has the best companion NPC so far. But as cool as it is in the front, it will be so touching and sad in the back...
Agreement three, protect the pilot... Finally, when I saw bt throwing me out, I really couldn’t help it.】
[Before playing, Robot Wars, enjoy the game. After playing... [crying] [crying] [crying]! 】
[Before playing, everyone thought that the mechas in the game were tools. Everyone said that the mechas in Mecha Wars were tools! But there are no such tools... [crying]]
[Bt is obviously just a robot, but it is more touching than any humanoid NPC. It is really worth playing. In addition, 'trust me'... this sentence will probably be the most impressive sentence for me this year.
】
[After completing the level, I feel indescribable. The game is really good... The charm of the game was undoubtedly revealed at the last moment. I had tears in my eyes when I played the game for the first time. 】
[What is a game? Linmu Studio really understands it... I recommend everyone to try this game. Maybe you will have answers... It's really great.]
【Don't worry bt, I'm not going anywhere [crying]][crying][crying]]
【Linmu Studio!
Lin Yao!
You return my bt!
[cry]】
【……】
this day.
It definitely belongs to "Titanfall".
Linmu Studio.
Lin Yao sat in her seat, looked at the posts posted by players on the forum, smiled softly, and then stretched hard.
