Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

Chapter 773: So unfriendly to the African chief!

Views:

The ancestry testing system sounds like it is not very friendly to some African chiefs.

These six words made Meng Zuo and others in the conference room think about it.

"Is this a card-drawing system for opening boxes?"

Looking at the so-called special blade coordination system on the screen, Qin Yi said with surprise.

The unboxing card drawing system is not unfamiliar to them, including many games under Nebula Games, such as "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", "Rainbow Six: Siege", "DOTA" and a series of more In games where skins are the selling point, there is a setting for drawing cards and opening boxes.

Including the gaming industry, ranging from VR to mobile and web games, drawing cards and opening boxes is basically a routine routine.

But the above-mentioned games are basically online games, and this game called "Xenoblade Chronicles", judging from the system introduction and core content just now, it is obvious that it is a proper stand-alone game. .

Can you add card drawing content to such a stand-alone game

"The special blades in the game are divided into common, rare and epic. At the same time, the number of special blades in the game is limited in the card pool." Chen Xu said with a smile while looking at everyone.

Listening to Chen Xu's words, everyone basically had a general understanding.

It's very simple, that is, the SSR and SR in the game are limited, and the more you draw, the harder it is to draw.

In the early stage, you may need 100 epic crystals to draw seven or eight strange blades, but later on, you may not be able to draw even one after 100 rounds.

For players with obsessive-compulsive disorder who want to collect all illustrated books, Qin Yi and Meng Zuo can already think of the deep malice of this system.

Especially for some African chiefs, the European emperor may be able to produce the exotic blade he wants with 10 ordinary crystals, but the non-chiefs may not be able to produce it with 100 epic crystals.

After all, according to the design concept draft above the conference room, in addition to having three guaranteed names in the early stage, all subsequent entries will be based on random probabilities of luck.

"But Mr. Chen, isn't the shape of this ordinary strange blade a little too..." Yang Xin next to him couldn't hold it back and asked a very concerning question.

Yang Xin, who thought she was a European emperor but was actually a non-chief, felt a strong sense of malice at this time.

Of course, this is what she feels from the perspective of a gamer.

I don’t feel the game yet, but take a look at this system.

How unfriendly to the great African chief!

And let’s take a look at these special blades. Let’s not talk about SRs and SSRs such as rare and epic. Each of them has a unique voice actor with a unique shape. Some of the special blades even have special bond dialogues and additional side quests. The story of the Complete Blade and the Blade Master.

But what about a normal Blade? What is this!

Black uncle, black sister, tall black uncle, black dog and... black uncle with hat, black sister, black dog.

This is definitely implying something, right

Think about it, a non-Chief player has accumulated 99 rare crystals and 99 epic crystals, and just wants to open the last few SSR blades.

Then all the black uncles, black sisters and black dogs appeared. This was so sad that everyone who heard it was so sad that everyone shed tears when they saw it!

Coupled with the unique skin color, Yang Xin could no longer imagine that scene.

"Ahem... You are definitely overthinking this!" Chen Xu coughed twice.

Although there are countless jokes in the game "Xenoblade Chronicles".

But the African chief suggested that this kind of thing is really just a coincidence.

"Well, in addition to these, the interactive experience in the game is also the core point that everyone should pay attention to." Chen Xu changed the topic.

The previous Xenoblade Chronicles 2 can definitely be called a masterpiece for fans of traditional RPGs, but it is not a masterpiece without any shortcomings.

Even its shortcomings are many and fatal.

Before the previous game development project was established, most of the members of "Xenoblade Chronicles 2" were transferred to another project to make maps, and that game was "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", which also led to One point is that all projects that can be outsourced in "Xenoblade Chronicles 2" are outsourced.

For example, game-related guide content, as well as some subsequent optimizations.

In terms of map design, "Xenoblade Chronicles 2" can be said to have surprised countless players.

It is a three-dimensional map with giant beasts as the carrier, but the key to the problem is that the map guidance is poor. If you are a road addict, then don’t doubt that getting lost in the game is what you have to face. one question.

Unlike "Dark Souls", which is an exploration-oriented game, the map of "Xenoblade Chronicles 2" is more open-world and has greater breadth.

And as an RPG game, "Xenoblade Chronicles 2" has a very clear goal.

If you are a player who likes to explore, it doesn’t really matter whether the map guidance is bad or good, because exploration is your core.

But for most RPG players, exploration is just incidental. What they want more is to advance the plot or complete side tasks.

At this time, the poor map guidance will definitely make you furious.

The second is the novice tutorial, which is very in-depth. The game will even throw you a tutorial until you are about to fight the final BOSS.

Of course, this is not a big problem, because this is based on the premise that the plot advances and you learn new skills, which brings the fun of another toy to the players.

But the key point is that the teachings in the game are just passed, and there is no chance for you to review. Either you open a new file and learn it all over again, or you go online and borrow other people's notes to copy.

There is also the coordination of different blades in the game. The early guidance is also quite vague, which makes many players think that they can just draw it casually and be done with it.

After using Lex to draw it, I found out who drew and used this special blade. It turned out that Lex had a lot of SR and SSR, and the overclocked props transferred to other characters belonged to the treasures in the map treasure chest, and It's not a necessary item to obtain during the game process, and it crashed all of a sudden.

There are many other inhumane contents in the game. For example, there are no props for sale in bulk, the coordination of different blades cannot be drawn ten times in a row and can only be drawn individually, and one person's appearance animation must be watched in full or in full, and there is no such thing that you can choose not to watch. Uncle Black only looks at the settings where the rare epic lady appears.

There is also Tiger, an arcade game that is a must-play for growing flowers! Tiger! .

As for whether this mini-game is fun or not, we can only use the words of Tiger in the game: "Trash game!" '

It can be said that the game "Xenoblade Chronicles 2" is a very extreme contradiction. It has ultra-high-quality performances, music, interesting combat gameplay and art character map settings, and at the same time has incomparable guidance and guidance to persuade people to retreat. content.

Therefore, Chen Xu will also make better arrangements on these points. After all, what is important in a game is not just the content, but the aspects related to the player's interactive experience are sometimes more important.
