Coming to the ancient tree forest, Lin Xue looked at everything around him very curiously.
The sky is very blue, with white clouds floating, the lush trees swaying in the breeze, the sunlight shines on the ground through the gaps in the trees, leaving large shadows.
In addition to the sound of the wind, there are insects and birds chirping, and everything around is very quiet and peaceful.
"Wow, the scenery is amazing!" Lin Xue looked around curiously as she walked around.
This opening scene is completely different from "Dark Soul". There is no danger, and the environment is not scary at all. Instead, there is a harmonious feeling of nature.
What follows is a simple system guide, including viewing the map, using guide insects to search for resources, cutting back the dew grass to restore blood, avoiding jackal dragons in the grass, climbing vines, searching for ancient footprints, etc.
During this process, Lin Xue followed the investigators to go deep into the ancient tree forest, and had a glimpse of the beauty of the entire ancient tree forest.
"Why doesn't this game let me fight? It's boring!" Lin Xue complained.
Originally, Lin Xue was ready to be abused, but it turned out to be completely useless!
For example, "Dark Soul" is very direct, with a very short CG at the beginning, and it starts to suffer directly, but in the first ten minutes of "Monster Hunter", there is no place to fight at all, and it is patronizing the show screen.
There were only two battles, one was a bunch of small jackal dragons on the road, but the IQ of these jackal dragons was obviously very low, Lin Xue and the investigators hid in the grass, and the jackal dragons ran away ; the second time was when he encountered a big fierce jackal dragon at the entrance of the investigation base, and ended up watching a cutscene, and the big fierce jackal dragon was chased away by the investigation team leader who came to support him.
This made Lin Xue a little disappointed. Originally, she played this game for the purpose of suffering, oh no, she came to show off her skills, but ended up watching the ten-minute cutscene, which was very embarrassing.
However, this opening is quite good. The seamless connection from "Oasis" to "Monster Hunter" is like coming to a new world by boat; the teaching content is well interspersed into the opening plot, including basic operations and game mechanics. The introduction is very clear; of course, the most important thing is to show the player the whole picture of the whole monster hunter world in an extremely shocking way.
Plants, animals, insects, special medicinal herbs... Everything in the forest is fictional, but it is very real. It is like a new continent that has never been discovered, and every inch of land makes players linger.
When she came to the Xingchen investigation base, Lin Xue felt that her eyes were not enough, and she felt like she was going to get lost.
The so-called investigation base is actually the main city, but this main city is also full of the flavor of "Monster Hunter".
The main building materials of the entire hunter base are wood, iron chains, and monster skeletons or sharp teeth. Many sea ships are simply used as part of the entire investigation base, which makes the entire investigation base full of barbaric atmosphere, but it is not the same as the hunter's The traits fit perfectly.
On the pier, the hunters and investigators were carrying goods from the boat to various places in the investigation base.
At this time, where Lin Xue is located is the "circulation area", which can also be regarded as the commercial area of the entire hunter stronghold. Here, there are hunters who conduct investigations, scholars who conduct research, and technicians who support them behind the scenes.
Zoological Research Institute, Botanical Research Institute, Maritime Merchant, Headquarters... all have their own characteristics.
For example, in the Institute of Botany, various plants from the New World are planted. Even the suspended ceiling is covered with various vines, and there is even a small puddle below, where aquatic plants are cultivated. Scholars immersed themselves in the process, carefully observing and recording various data of these plants.
After meeting with the commander-in-chief of the investigation team, Lin Xue followed the leader of the investigation team and started wandering around the investigation base.
The investigation base is still divided into many layers. The lowest layer is the commercial area, and the upper layer is the processing room for forging weapons and armor, the dining area for eating, and the residences of hunters...
"So many places... I can't remember!"
Lin Xue was in a daze. If the investigation squad leader hadn't been leading the way, she would have almost lost her way.
Unlike "Dark Souls", the towns of "Monster Hunter" are so lively and full of life. Lin Xue especially likes the dining area, where cats are used to cook!
That's right, those cats that can walk upright that I saw on the boat before. Before, Lin Xue thought that these cats were just the pets of hunters, but now it seems that they are not at all. They are more like partners of hunters, playing a very important role in all aspects.
After the combat meeting, the leader of the investigation team arranged a task for Lin Xue, asking her to choose a weapon at hand and start hunting.
Arriving at the hunter's hut, where there were 14 kinds of basic weapons, Lin Xue was almost overwhelmed.
"Monster Hunter" has no occupations. Players can choose one of fourteen weapons as their own weapon, and they can also change it at any time. As for the entire skill system, like "Dark Soul", it is bound to weapons.
In other words, choosing a weapon is equivalent to choosing a profession. These fourteen weapons with different characteristics will directly determine the player's future fighting style.
"Wow, just like the promotional video, there are so many weapons!"
"Is there an explanation video and an introduction to the characteristics of weapons? This is quite considerate, let's watch them one by one..."
Fifteen minutes later.
Lin Xue felt completely at a loss, and didn't know what to choose.
The combat system in Monster Hunter looks similar to Dark Souls, but it's actually completely different.
"Dark Soul" has very few weapon skills, most of the time it is flat-cutting, and occasionally weapon combat skills are used; but "Monster Hunter" has a variety of continuous skills, combination skills, and long-range weapons. There are many different types of ammunition, and for novices, the learning cost is still very high.
Lin Xue's head got dizzy from seeing it, and she went back and forth, unable to be sure.
"The giant sword looks so handsome, it feels more domineering than the great sword in "Dark Soul", I want to play!"
"This double knife looks very flexible, and it says it is suitable for beginners?"
"Wow, the effect of the heavy crossbow is like Gatling, it has become an fps game!"
Lin Xue hesitated for a long time, and finally made up her mind: "Tai Dao, it's you!"
A bunch of question marks floated across the barrage in an instant.
What the hell do you mean just now that you said for a long time that the big sword is domineering, the two swords are flexible, and the heavy crossbow is cool, and then you choose a Taidao backhand
Lin Xue explained while groping for Taidao's skills: "What do you know? Being strong is a temporary thing, but being handsome is a lifetime thing!"
