Accompanied by overwhelming advertisements, time slowly advances.
On August 1, "Monster Hunter: World" officially opened the trial version for download on the Nebula gaming platform.
Not only players, but also many designers in the game industry chose to download games immediately.
Because many game designers in the industry also want to see what kind of game "Monster Hunter: World" is.
After all, hunting-type games were really niche before this, and this game has a very different meaning.
Because the success or failure of this game will not determine the life or death of the Nebula gaming platform, nor will it cause any damage.
But it can definitely applaud the channel alliances that have been in decline one after another.
Regardless of whether they are designers who have decided to invest in the Nebula gaming platform, or designers who are still in channel alliances with NetDragon and Tenghua, they really don’t want to see this kind of thing.
After all, at this stage, designers in the industry, some independent game studios, and small game companies have basically reaped the benefits of the sudden rise of the Nebula game platform.
But for ordinary players, they obviously don't care that much.
After all, as players, they just want to play good games.
"Monster Hunter: World" is obviously a game they have been looking forward to for a while.
At around 11 o'clock at noon, many players have already pre-downloaded "Monster Hunter: World" from the Nebula gaming platform in advance, and are waiting for the content of the trial content version to be released at 12 o'clock.
In a certain community in the imperial capital, Wang Han and Zhang Yi, who have officially become a family, are sitting in front of the computer respectively. At the same time, there are Song Ren, Wang Yifan and Qiao Yi on the voice channel.
Five offline friends were chatting while waiting for the game to open.
"This game is good in every aspect, but it can only allow up to four people to play online." Lao Song in the voice channel was a little depressed.
"Yes!" Zhang Yi also agreed.
"It's okay. We'll see when the time comes. Besides, the company has a big project recently, so I've been quite busy." Wang Yifan said in the voice channel.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Although this game can only have four people online, and there are five of us, Lao Zhang and I can use one computer, one person per round." Wang Han said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, think about how you feel when you're single, Sister Han, stop showing off!" Qiao Yi interjected.
"But I don't know if this game is difficult. The huge monsters and the skinny hunters seem to be something!" Zhang Yi said.
"It shouldn't be difficult, and didn't Mr. Chen say that this game is not a Souls-type game? And the previous trailer also felt very relaxing, and there was even kung fu barbecue during hunting." Song Ren said his opinion.
"Why do you care so much? Just let it be done. The five of us are all high-end players who have passed Dark Souls! And doesn't this game also have teams? If you can't beat it by then, just team up and defeat the boss. Everything will be fine." The problem is solved." Wang Han said nonchalantly.
"It's open, it's open, you can enter the game, stop chatting!" Joey, who noticed that he could enter the game, said in the voice channel.
After hearing this, Zhang Yi and others immediately clicked on the game.
After clicking on the game, I did not enter immediately, but a prompt pop-up window popped up.
'Since the current version is a trial version, only limited areas are open and multi-player connections are not supported. (In-game archives only retain face pinching data)'
Looking at the prompt that popped up in front of them, Zhang Yi and others were not too surprised.
After all, we are all old players, so we naturally understand what the trial version means.
Opening limited content, basically the prologue of the game, allows players to understand what the tone of the game is.
Naturally, there are many things that cannot be experienced.
In the voice channel, everyone gathered together and everyone turned off their microphones.
After all, if you can't form a team, there's no need for voice acting. It's better to experience the game more immersively.
As the Nebula Games logo jumped, the sound of sea water lapping came to my ears.
The next moment a loud voice shouted:
[So... Dear friends of the fifth investigation team!]
[The time is almost up, so let’s just say goodbye!]
[Once you get on this ship, there is no turning back. If you have lost consciousness, I advise you to turn back here.]
[Then, let’s set sail for the New World now!]
[May the blue star that guides the way shine for you!]
With the voice of the narrator, the closed door opened.
A dazzling light appeared, and after getting used to it, countless people carrying luggage began to board the ship.
Zhang Yi was among them and was obviously one of the people heading to the New World.
After boarding the ship and coming to the deck.
The crew on the ship guided him into the cabin.
After entering the cabin, it is a different world.
A chandelier with burning candles hangs on the top of the cabin. Countless sailors in armor are walking back and forth. Three or five hunters are toasting and drinking in front of the broad table. There are also crew members who have moved a pile of books next to them and are studying something.
But what surprised Zhang Yi the most was that these hunters were surrounded by kittens wearing armor and jumping up and down to drink.
In addition, there are many small cats that walk upright and wander around, acting as waiters to bring plates filled with food to the table.
Watching a little kitten place a plate full of food on the table, then open its big eyes and wave hello to the huntress on the table with a smile, it was so cute.
"This cat is so cute!" Zhang Yi couldn't help but sigh.
Is this really a hunting game? Rather than a cute game
Zhang Yi, full of curiosity, observed everything in the cabin.
Every hunter is busy with his or her own business, either drinking, checking information, or sorting out equipment.
Is this his hunting companion in the future? Are they all partners who will fight alongside me in the future
Now Zhang Yi fully understood why Chen Xu said that "Monster Hunter: World" is completely different from "Dark Souls".
Not to mention the art style and gameplay.
Just talk about the atmosphere.
Look, how friendly and harmonious are these members of the Hunter Guild? They are all good helpers for me in the future.
If you can't form a team in single-player mode, you probably have these NPC teammates with you.
Unlike "Dark Souls", the fireproof sacrificial site brings fireproof girls, and there are only a few people in total.
There is also a stubborn and discouraged brother who spreads all kinds of negative energy thoughts all the time. It can be said that the atmosphere of the entire game is very depressing.
Of course, the good thing is that no matter which game you play, you can always call for help.
As for "Monster Hunter: World", it is obvious that this is a completely different style.
Unity, friendship, and full of positive energy!
[Hey, we’re coming to the New World soon. Are you ready?]
[nervous?]
While Zhang Yi was sighing, a male hunter with a mohawk came up in front of him. The hunter, holding a wine glass in one hand, sat down across the table and started chatting in a familiar manner.
After talking about some of the current situation and content.
The next moment the game enters the face-pinching screen, which is similar to the face-pinching interface of "Dark Souls" before. However, compared to the Western fantasy style of Dark Souls, the "Monster Hunter: World" in front of you is obviously more oriental. .
Pinch someone!
I'm good at this! And it seems that the archive of pinched people can be retained, right
Looking at the rich pinching interface in front of him, Zhang Yi became interested.
This is his favorite part!
There is nothing to say about gender, he is still a male character, and as for his skin color, he is also yellow-skinned.
Secondly, the face shape must be more dignified first. For a middle-aged hunter, his fighting ability is at the peak of his life.
It's hard to do things well if there is no hair on the mouth, but there is a little beard on the chin.
But you should have a younger mentality. At the same time, you don’t have to kill the target of hunting. Occasionally, you can also use love to influence.
So when it comes to hair color, it needs to be a little playful.
"Done!" It took about fifteen minutes. Looking at the character in front of him, Zhang Yi nodded with satisfaction.
The only thing that makes him a little dissatisfied is that compared to the face-squeezing system of "Dark Souls", "Monster Hunter: World" is a little more conservative, which prevents him from expressing himself to his fullest, but so be it.
