Chapter 60 Multiplayer Mode
in a university dormitory
As a fan of martial arts games, Zhang Wei has long saved money for the two games.

One is for "Jiang Hu", and the other is for the "Meteor Butterfly Sword" in front of me.

"Are you really going to buy this Meteor Butterfly Sword? Let me tell you, it's better to save the money and use it to buy 3A after the National Day. Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed will be released on the National Day." The hand next to him was holding a green onion Wang Bin, who was making cakes, saw Zhang Wei grabbing his mobile phone and scanning the QR code to recharge, so he couldn't help persuading him.

"I like this kind of martial arts-themed games. Foreigners can't make them, and the Meteor Butterfly Sword seems to be of good quality after watching the trailer." Zhang Wei entered the verification code while talking.

"That's right, martial arts is something that many people like to play." Wang Bin, who was eating green onion pancakes, nodded in agreement, and walked to the side of Zhang Wei with the small stool next to him.

He also wanted to see what kind of quality the recently popular "Meteor Butterfly Sword" was.

As for getting started?That's impossible, he's still waiting for October's Assassin's Creed!
The game is not big, only about 15 G. Zhang Wei chose the WEGAME platform. There is no way Penguin is rich and powerful. In order to promote his own platform, he gave away vouchers like crazy. The original digital version of "Meteor Butterfly Sword" was 69 yuan. Combined with Penguin's voucher, it only costs 50 yuan, which is very attractive to players.

What's more, didn't the official say that all the servers of Meteor Butterfly Sword are built by Tianhe Network, and the data of the whole platform is common. If there is no belief bonus, of course it is which platform is cheaper to buy.

The broadband in the dormitory is not bad. After watching a funny little video, the game has been installed automatically.

Zhang Wei holds the mouse, starts the game from WEGAME, authorizes the Penguin account and then binds the mobile phone number, a random account will be generated directly.

The stand-alone mode of the game does not need to be connected to the Internet, but the multiplayer mode needs to be connected to the Internet, but Zhang Wei does not plan to play the multiplayer mode as soon as he comes up.

Just like ordinary stand-alone games, after entering the game, there is a CG animation, and there is a prompt in the upper right corner to skip it by pressing ESC, but Zhang Wei did not choose to skip it but chose to watch it. After all, for stand-alone games, these CG animations have It may be related to the plot of the game.

The first thing that catches the eye is the LOGO of Longzu Studio and the LOGO of Tianhe Network.

Then the screen gradually darkened, and after the black screen, accompanied by the sound of a breeze coming from the speaker, a ray of light slowly appeared, an ancient town, and at the same time, a colorful butterfly slowly flew from afar. The camera appears and slowly zooms in with the flying butterfly.

In the end, the butterfly landed on a handsome young man. Although there was no narration voice, based on Zhang Wei's many years of game experience, he immediately had a judgment. There was no doubt that this was the protagonist.

The butterfly landed on the young man's shoulder, and then accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, a vicious bald head flew past and flew straight up to the eaves.

"This CG is a bit rough! I feel that the CG of some mobile games is better than this one. Doesn't it mean that tens of millions have been invested?" Wang Bin said while eating a scallion pancake.

"Let's look at the performance in the game." Zhang Wei was also a little worried at this time. Although he likes martial arts games, he doesn't like garbage martial arts games.

This Meteor Butterfly Sword that I have been looking forward to for so long, the CG is so rough, is the game content really not shrinking?

Looking at the CG animation, the main character Meng Xinghun looked at the butterfly flying away, and then put his eyes on the back of the bald head, Zhang Wei felt a little worried.

"Catch up with the mysterious man!"

While Zhang Wei was chatting, the CG animation on the screen suddenly stopped. A dialog box and buttons for basic operations appeared on the screen.

"My Cao! Is this the actual screen of the game? In-game live demo!?" Zhang Wei swears after controlling the protagonist to take two steps through WSAD.

Even if the screen calculation is seamlessly connected with the game, this is not a high technology, and many games have already used this technology.

However, in most games in China, most of them choose CG, and there are few games that choose this kind of real-time calculation.

"This picture is okay! I just don't know how the impact feels." Wang Bin next to him put down the half-eaten cake and said temporarily.

After all, this is an action game. If the action performance is not good, no matter how good the picture is, it will be empty talk.

According to the system's prompt, he ran in the town, and then used lightness kung fu to fly over the wall. Zhang Wei was immersed in the game.

This is the arena!

Although this type of operation is available in many foreign action games, the background is martial arts, and the protagonist in the game uses the lightness skills shown in film and television dramas to fly over walls, which gives Zhang Wei a completely different feeling.

"However, Jianghu seems to be said to be a turn-based battle flag, and the operation is more inclined to the traditional classical RPG!" Controlling the protagonist of the game to hurry, Zhang Wei still thinks about Jianghu, which will be released in summer.

This is equivalent to a novice tutorial, allowing players to understand the basic gameplay of the game through background hints.

"This combo feels a bit like Devil May Cry!" Wang Bin, who was eating scallion pancakes next to him, interjected as Zhang Wei controlled the protagonist with his bare hands and made a handsome combo.

"It's a bit shadowy, but it feels good, and it feels smooth when playing with the sound effects." Zhang Wei said, staring at the game screen on the screen.

"By the way, doesn't this game have a multiplayer mode? Have a look at the multiplayer mode?"

Half an hour later, Wang Bin, who was sitting next to Zhang Wei, looked at the end of the first level and said to Zhang Wei.

I have to say that the quality of the game is quite good, the design of the levels and the movements of the characters are quite smooth.

"Okay." Zhang Wei, who originally had this idea, immediately went along with it when he heard this. He launched the single-player story mode and chose the multiplayer mode.

"Hey, I still need to pinch people!" Entering the multiplayer mode, just like online games, you must first give your character a name, and then start pinching people.

After randomly pinching a person, you need to choose a weapon, which is different from the single-player plot. In the single-player plot, weapons can be equipped at will, but in the initial state of the multiplayer mode, only 5 weapons can be used, namely single-handed, long-armed Swords, double knives, double swords and spears, like whips, hammers, spears, bows, etc., all need to be unlocked before they can be used.

As for the moves, unlike the plot of the single-player mode, which needs to be slowly leveled to unlock, there is no such thing as a level in the multiplayer confrontation mode, and all skills and moves can be used.

"So many modes? What are you going to play?" After the character was created, he entered the multiplayer mode. Looking at the options in front of him, Zhang Wei was a little confused.

Competitive mode, deathmatch mode, bodyguard mode, there is a grey-white option below that cannot be selected.

　I originally planned to stay up late tonight to watch TI8, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. It’s no different from when I used to go to school and play games all night, but now my body can’t take it anymore...
