Chapter 261: Lackluster? Total Defeat!
"Sekiro" tops the global discussion list! "
"It received 98% positive reviews on the first day! What is the charm of Sekiro?"
"Why do we still enjoy the suffering? Tiantianyoubao deeply analyzes the core design of the "Sekiro" game! "
《Incredible action game masterpiece! SNG and other media gave it high marks! 》
《……》
Because the game was released on time at 8 o'clock last night, Zhongjing time.
Although just one night is not enough for players to complete the game.
but.
Based on the gaming experiences of many review media, anchors, and players.
Unless this game cuts corners later on, its current game quality alone is enough to get the same score as Titanfall.
For a time, discussions about Sekiro were everywhere.
Some people discussed the development of the plot after Genichirō cut off the immortality, some people discussed how to beat various BOSSes and elite monsters, and some people shared on the forum the pick-up items they found in various strange places.
Yes.
It was different from previous Golden Wind games, and it could even be said to be different from the design of most games in this world.
In "Sekiro", the intricate yet interlocking map design is also a feature that people talk about.
The various scattered props hidden in the map have become one of the game elements that many collectors like to explore.
Of course.
In addition to these normal players, there are also some stubborn ones.
In the morning of the next day, a video went viral from the Internet to China.
The author of the video is just an ordinary player, neither a host nor an experienced video producer.
Logically speaking, such a video would not have much impact on the vast Internet.
But once this video was released, it quickly became popular on YouTube and was even reposted by major media and anchors.
Because the content of this video is actually——"What will happen when you first see and kill Genichirō?"
Yes!
There was actually someone who spent a whole night fighting with Genichirō when he first met him, and finally defeated him!
This time, the players were all shocked!
You know, in the eyes of most players, Genichirō is absolutely invincible.
Generally speaking, for plot-killing scenes like this, developers will definitely use methods such as locking health and instant kills to make the protagonist defeated, allowing the powerful villain to win the battle 100% to maintain the status quo.
but!
You can see it through this actual machine video.
Just when Wolf had defeated Genichirō by just dodging and normal attacks, in the cutscene, Genichirō actually half-knelt in the reeds exhausted, gasping for breath and saying, "As expected... of Miko's ninja!"
However, let’s talk about it.
The eagle soldiers under Genichirō will fire a boomerang straight at the back of the wolf's head.
When the wolf turns around to resist, Genichirō will launch a sneak attack.
Snap!
The wolf's left hand will still be cut off.
However, this time, Genichirō would say: "Unfortunately, for Ashina, I must take Miko away."
"Hahahahaha! Sneak attack! No moral principles!"
Once another possible world line was exposed, it immediately caused joyful discussion among the players!
"Shit! Too much shit!"
"Crap, crap, crap..."
"If you win, you taunt me. If you lose, you sneak attack me. How despicable..."
"But there is actually another CG. Xiao Huang is really attentive."
"It also reflects Genichirō's character from the side. He is willing to protect Ashina at all costs."
"Indeed, otherwise he wouldn't have forcibly acquired the power of immortality knowing that it would drive people crazy."
"Laugh at the jokes, not the people. Ichiro is a real man."
"But the sneak attack is indeed too crude. I want to know the mental state of the guy who made the video when he fought all night and found that his hand was still not saved."
'Hahahahahahaha grab the bamboo shoots...'
"……"
Here, the discussion about "Sekiro" is continuing in full swing, and the situation is becoming more and more heated.
On the other hand, the full game review and score of "Toriy: Phantom" has been quietly released.
Yes.
Although both are 3S-level masterpieces, and the size of the two games is almost the same.
However, due to the differences in difficulty, playability, collection elements, plot arrangement, etc., in just one night, when most players around the world had just finished defeating Genichirō and were ready to embark on the path to cut off immortality.
The Torii gate has been completely penetrated, and some media have even achieved the achievement of collecting all of them.
Comprehensive reviews of Torii have also been released:
[SNG Forum (8/10): This is a standard 3S-level work. The special effects produced by the huge investment and high cost have reached the standard it should have. However, in terms of the playability of the game, Koizumi Studio obviously did not consider enough. Although the storyline is relatively clear, there are almost no ups and downs. In general, it is a relatively mediocre work...]
[Global Players (8.5/10): The detailed graphics, high-quality special effects, and unique FPS experience. To be honest, this game gave me a very amazing feeling at the beginning, but after just 20 minutes, this amazing feeling was wiped out by repetitive battles and mediocre level design. Although the design studio almost completely restored the scene of Shibuya streets, it seems that my experience was only left with sightseeing in the streets of Shibuya...]
[SLGamers (7/10): Unsatisfactory story, unsatisfactory combat, unsatisfactory gameplay... KONAMI's understanding of 3S seems to be just two words - piling up. The simple "save my sister" main storyline is already mediocre, and its side quests are even more trivial. Please! I'm here to investigate people's inexplicable disappearances and save the world! Can you please stop asking me to pass toilet paper to ghosts! ]
[Hummingbird Game Review (6.2/10): Bad AI! Bad monster duplication! Bad boss battle design! When I found out that the big fireball skill can solve all the problems in this world, the playability of the whole game is gone! ]
【……】
The highest score is around eight!
The lowest is only six points!
In the end, the average evaluation result from first-tier gaming media was only 7 points.
You must know!
Last year, Yamamoto Tsuna's "Yakuza", as Konami's flagship 3S work, achieved an average score of 8!
Even among the many media that gave it scores, there was one that gave it a high score of 9.2, praising its racing + shooting game format.
But now.
It is the most anticipated 3S-level masterpiece of Konami throughout the year.
The Waterloo of "Toriy: The Phantom of the Palace" is really surprising.
In various forums, it has also aroused discussions among many players——
'It's really lame, I can only say it's what you deserve, FVK KONAMI'
"The trailer was originally well made, with good quality in every aspect and plenty of suspense, but the actual quality turned out to be this bad."
'I can only say that his death was not unjust'
'I refunded the game after playing it for an hour. The screenshot is here [picture]. My comment is that the setting was originally good, but the poor game content made it a reliance on defense'
"Indeed, and the originally promised Night Parade of One Hundred Demons ended up being nothing more than countless ghosts of office workers, headless JKs, bubble-blowing aunties, and three weak monsters fighting for the entire battle..."
"I can't stand this boss battle. The bosses are so stupid!"
'I suggest you buy a copy of Sekiro'
"I bought it, and it's still stuck with Chigui. By the way, is it expensive to repair Yiyou x2? I accidentally broke it."
"Excuse me, but how could you possibly break a sturdy machine like the x2? (Shocked)"
"Touch the sensory pod as gently as the red demon touches me (dog head)"
'Art Tour x2: Danger'
'Aa ...
"……"
For Konami, the most terrible thing finally happened.
Perhaps before, when "Outlast" and "Silent Hill" collided, a large part of the players' resentment towards them came from the inappropriate decision-making of the company, their regret for "Silent Hill PT", and their anger at their previous actions.
The overwhelming 'fvk KONAMI' really makes your blood pressure soar.
But now.
When the storm is over.
Although players still talk about FVK KONAMI, it can be seen that this time, players are completely and utterly disappointed with the quality of its game.
Most of the criticisms are about dissatisfaction with various aspects of "Toriy: The Phantom of the Game".
From the main storyline to the side content.
From the volume of game content to the core logic settings.
The reputation has been completely ruined!
So far, the best evaluation that Torii has received is just two words - mediocre!
Among them, what makes players most dissatisfied is the huge gap in the design of "BOSS battle" between the two games!
As for the Torii, the design of the boss battle can't even be described as lackluster.
In the words of many players, that's not even worthy of carrying Sekiro's shoes.
Even many players who bought the Torii could not hold back their anger and named Torii Director Koizumi Kazuo on Twitter, giving him directions:
[If you really don’t know how to design a BOSS , go watch Sekiro! Look at how many tricks are put into the BOSS design!!!]
…
Morning bells and evening drums.
The majestic sound of the sheng and xiao combined with the accompaniment of the Chinese drum filled the entire Xianfeng Temple with a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
Large patches of red maple leaves rustled.
The mountain wind blew from the distant valley, stirring up a cloud of crimson.
Quiet, solemn and peaceful.
The soundtrack of Xianfeng Temple has a very distinct Buddhist and pure flavor.
However!
When you really get to know this temple in depth, you will find that -
"It seems like all the bald donkeys here are infected,"
The anchor Quinn walked towards the mountain gate and said:
"That's right... they are researching the immortality-promoting tumbling tiles here, and they are using humans as experiments,"
"And because of impurity, maybe, he became a parasite."
"I have turned into a fierce man..."
Quinn, one of the anchors of the small broken station, has an avatar of a dog head with a red scarf. Because of his slow Nanchang Mandarin that is very magical and brainwashing during the live broadcast, he is loved and ridiculed by many viewers.
Because his ID is MR.QUIN, he is also called 'Quin' or 'Mr. Qin' by the audience, and some of his speaking habits are jokingly called 'Daqin dialect'.
"I'm surprised that Brother Quinn actually understands the plot."
"I must have secretly looked up the guide yesterday and recited it on the spot."
'Great reading'
'You are so dedicated that you got an erection early today'
'He even collected some of the items he had missed in his spare time.'
'I really love Brother Quinn, he's so sweet'
'Nantong guna'
"……"
As he spoke, Quinn pushed open the mountain gate.
As long as you cross the covered bridge in front, you will reach the main gate of Xianfeng Temple and officially enter the temple to obtain the Immortal Slash.
However.
Right at this moment!
Suddenly, a man in medieval armor suddenly walked out from a viewing platform in the middle of the bridge...
"Put down your sword!"
The Armor Hero's voice came out from behind a thick mask, sounding muffled, and he spoke in perfect English.
"Fuck, foreigners?"
Quinn was startled and subconsciously pulled out the wedge pill.
However, the Armor Hero saw that he seemed to still have the will to fight, and rushed up in the blink of an eye.
Without waiting for Quinn to raise his hand, he pushed Quinn with the two-handed sword, then swung the sword up and smashed it hard: "Ha——!"
boom!!!
In an instant, smoke and dust rose above the covered bridge.
Three quarters of Quinn's health disappeared in the blink of an eye!
"Haha ...
Quinn quickly rolled on the ground, drinking from his gourd as he ran:
"Foreign hunk! Shocked!"
The audience in the live broadcast room was also in an uproar——
"What the hell? Who is this?"
'Nimei Army'
'Grass hahahahahahahaha'
"There is only one foreigner mentioned in the whole story of Sekiro, and that is the firecracker prop in Ninji's hand - Robert's firecracker."
'So this is Robert?'
"Robert has died. This should be his father. Maybe he came to Xianfeng Temple to seek immortality in order to cure Robert's illness."
"Oh my god, this is too fierce"
'It feels like they are not in the same dimension'
'Armor Hero, really awesome'
"……"
Following the audience’s jokes and discussions!
Quinn also replenished his health and went forward to fight with the Armor Hero.
Ding! Boring!
The powerful attack even made Quinn's hands numb.
The aggressive attacking style also made it difficult for Quinn to find the right rhythm.
This is the most amazing thing about the boss design of the game Sekiro——
Almost every elite monster and BOSS you encounter in every new area has its own characteristics!
Quinn has encountered powerful elites like Armor Hero along the way!
Like the samurai general, the bandit Juzo, and the fire bull in Ashina Castle, they are all very powerful!
But the difference is that the general's fierceness is his good fighting skills, the bandit's fierceness is his brutality and bravery, and the fire bull's fierceness is his madness and ferocity.
The ferocity of the Armor Hero is fearless and mighty!
The huge two-handed sword was heavy and sharp, leaving no doubt that anyone who touched it would be half-dead or half-crippled!
The shining armor was so impenetrable that no one could find a flaw that could penetrate it!
He was like a giant steel beast, and every move he made was full of flawless power.
If the Armor Hero at this time met the player before Genichirō, then there is no doubt that he would be able to kill the wolf under the giant sword within three rounds.
However!
Boring! Boring! Boring!
With three sharp golden sounds, sparks flew!
Quinn, who had been resurrected once, accurately deflected the giant sword of the Armor Hero, and at the moment when his own posture bar was on the verge of collapse, he took the lead to deflect the Armor Hero's posture bar!
Today’s players are no longer the noobs whose arms can be easily chopped off!
"Hmph! Bring! Mazefak!"
As the red dot of Ninja Killing lights up!
Quinn leaped forward accurately and his blade scraped the Armor Warrior's neck hard!
Chila!!!
However!
Dengdengdengdong!
Unexpected.
This time, what Ninja Kill brought out was not a spurt of bright red blood, but a long string of sparks!
The Armor Hero took a few steps back and crashed into the pillar of the corridor bridge with a clang.
Then he paused for two seconds before tightening his grip on the huge sword again, and at the same time his posture bar dropped by half a bar!
Next second!
The host who was broadcasting live, the comments in the live broadcast room, and even Kazuo Koizumi outside the screen all expressed the most common sigh of Golden Wind players:
'ah?'
【ah??】
"ah???"
Is this a trick designed by the Golden Wind BOSS?
This also...
Isn’t it too damn expensive?
They actually created an unkillable monster? !
