As the game screen entered a black screen, there was an uncontrollable CG cutscene.
The first thing that appeared on the screen was a group of rats passing quickly in front of the camera in a dark dungeon, and then the camera slowly moved to show the general scene of this dark dungeon.
The final perspective zoomed into a cell. At the base of the wall under the torch, there was a living corpse that looked like a skeleton sitting on the ground. It was unclear whether he was alive or dead.
A low narration sounded here.
"The ring of darkness represents the curse of immortality, so all the undead will be captured and sent to the north to be imprisoned in prison until the end of the world."
"This is your fate too."
The camera turned and came to a cell.
The character Song Ren had created before was in the corner of the cell, hidden in the darkness.
"Wait a minute, why did I become a living corpse?"
Song Ren was immediately shocked. He had been pinching the character interface for a long time, and then he finally pinched a character that was not scary but full of personality.
As a result, after entering the game, he directly turned into an invisible living corpse
Then what was he doing for a long time
When Song Ren was speechless, suddenly the character in the game raised his head.
A ray of sunlight shone in from the skylight above.
With a "pop" sound, a skeleton-like corpse fell from the skylight and fell to the ground of the cell. A white light floated from the corpse.
Song Ren, who has played "Dark Souls", knows that this white light represents items that can be picked up.
After throwing the body from the skylight, the knight left directly.
Song Ren also saw this plot in the promotional trailer at the previous exhibition, but it was not complete.
But I can almost understand the general background by contacting him.
In the previous game, players played the role of embers, which are non-burnable garbage and cannot be burned even if they want to.
As for the undead, it is obviously combustible garbage, and this place called the Immortal Yard can be understood as a garbage dump, a place dedicated to the undead.
After briefly summarizing the existing information and looking at the UI interface in the game, Song Ren also controlled the character to come to the corpse, picked up the white light, and then it was shown that he had obtained the key to open the cell.
After getting a little familiar with the basic operations, it is no different from the previous "Dark Souls". Obviously, there are no major changes in the combat system.
This made him feel happy. The combat system was very familiar. Does this mean there was no need to suffer
After all, he has experienced hundreds of hours in the previous game.
It should be pretty quick to get started with the new game, right
However, he was not happy for long, and Song Ren soon discovered a more critical problem.
"Why am I overweight? And am I not a knight? I have armor, but why am I holding a broken sword? Where is my shield and sword!?"
"What the hell is this? Because I became a living corpse, do I have no strength?"
Song Ren was completely stunned. You must know that in "Dark Souls" before, a person with nothing came out with a chicken leg.
But why is there just a broken sword now? Could it be that there are no weapons given at the start and you have to rely on yourself to explode them
And there is such a heavy load. Although a knight's armor was given as a gift, it was too heavy!
The rolling and walking were as slow as a turtle.
But the key point is that this isn’t the initial professional equipment. Can it be overweight
Seeing the knight in the game rolling on the ground with slow movements, Song Ren felt a pain in his balls.
"Perhaps this is the increased difficulty? The knight starts in an overweight state but has high defense, while the ordinary character starts with low defense?"
"And I can also temporarily take off my equipment in exchange for more flexible skills. Is this a compromise?"
As an excellent fire bearer, Song Ren's biggest advantage is after playing "Dark Soul".
That is, when encountering some unreasonable things in the game, you will not blindly think that the game designer made a mistake somewhere, but will think about whether there is a deeper meaning.
Now he has found a perfect and convincing reason in his mind for choosing a knight but starting without a shield or sword, and the armor is overweight.
Looking at the broken sword in his hand, Song Ren felt a pain in his balls.
Especially looking at the weapon's attack panel made him speechless.
In the previous game, this thing was something that even took up space in a backpack.
After searching the cell, Song Ren was absolutely sure that this broken sword was his early weapon.
As for the armor on his body, after thinking about it, Song Ren took off his helmet and armor.
After all, he is not some cute new Pyromaniac, but a battle-hardened ember from the previous game.
Even though he became an immortal in the prequel, the experience is still here.
Although many old players joke that the armor in "Dark Soul" is completely useless, and it is like folding paper in half when worn.
But in fact, it can really increase the fault tolerance rate for novice players, so armor with suitable defense or resistance can still be worn as long as it can be worn.
But this also has a prerequisite, that is, it cannot bear weight.
Because too high a load will affect rolling, and rolling can be said to be the core thing in the game Dark Souls.
So faced with the choice between defense and flexibility, Song Ren chose flexibility.
"But... this can be considered a different kind of having nothing." Looking at the shirtless character, Song Ren was speechless for a while.
He pinched his face and chose loneliness. He also chose loneliness for this career!
Use the cell key you just obtained to open the iron door.
With a creak, the iron door was pushed open, but Song Ren felt a little nervous at this time.
Because it is too dark here and the field of view is severely limited. In the previous game, the Ashes Cemetery was still gray and bright.
And this cell is actually a little bit like the underworld.
The scattered mobs are all huddled in dark corners and have no health bars. It's really easy to miss them if you don't look carefully.
Fortunately, these zombies are very easy to deal with. They are even easier to deal with than the ordinary zombies on the high walls of Lothric before. It can be said that they have no desire to attack at all, but they don't know what will happen next.
There are also some red blood-stained advice on the ground along the way, which basically teach players how to operate.
"The damage is so low. In the previous game, it was just one or two blows, but now it's three or four. Is the difficulty in the new game just that the numerical value has been weakened?"
Killing a few zombies on the way, Song Ren muttered in his heart.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to it and continued to explore forward.
The prison in the early stage must not be too difficult.
There were one or two living corpses on the road along the way.
They were easily killed by him with the broken sword in his hand.
The only thing that's a little different.
That is just like the name of the game "Dark Souls".
This prison scene is slightly dark and dark.
Compared with the previous "Dark Souls" where you were born in an ashes graveyard, this previous game is a little more immersive.
But after experiencing the baptism of the previous "Silent Hill Plot", this is just a trivial matter.
Although he was baptized through other players' clearance videos, and there were barrage and high-powered early warnings, he was still baptized.
There were not many difficulties encountered along the way, and Song Ren even felt that it was easier than the previous game.
Because at the beginning, he lost some blood.
but now
No injuries at all!
After all, I am no longer the same person I used to be!
With emotion, Song Ren came to the first bonfire after climbing up the ladder in the well.
"Bonfire, the first teacher to persuade you to quit is coming!"
Song Ren's eyes lit up when he saw the bonfire in front of him.
However, there was no fear, but instead full of excitement.
After all, he has evolved, so what if he doesn't have a shield? So what if I don’t have a weapon
A good fire bearer is fearless!
