Chapter 88 Different Plots

How can an RPG game allow players to play in depth?

Tasks are the main gameplay of RPG, which gradually reveals the background and plot of the game story.

Through side missions and main missions, the background of the entire game is slowly revealed, allowing players to deeply understand the story of this illusory world, and through the plot of the story, each flesh and blood NPC is created, allowing players to pay attention and know them fate and know the stories behind them.

This is the most benevolent RPG, but what about other than these?
With the development of RPG games, in addition to the changes in the plot style of the story, the game has also added more choices in gameplay along with the advancement of technology.

For example, from the earliest turn-based RPG to the later mainstream action RPG, of course one of the mainstream settings has not changed, and that is the character development element.

Whether it is a self-created game character in an RPG game or a character in a storyline, what players need to do is to upgrade their level, equipment, and skills.

Role-playing games are different from ordinary shooting games, action games, and real-time strategy games. With the disclosure of the game background and the unfolding of the plot, players will devote themselves to the game.

The sense of substitution is what RPG games need. Whether an RPG game is successful or not, the most critical point is whether players can have enough sense of substitution to immerse themselves in the game world.

As the carrier of the player's substitution, that is, the protagonist of the game, the player certainly hopes to make him stronger, able to challenge more powerful opponents, obtain the most powerful skills, and the admiration and even admiration of NPCs in the game world.

From simple to difficult, players can clearly feel that they are constantly getting stronger.

This is a mainstream pursued by all RPGs. It is not that no RPG games have made changes. There are also RPG games that have achieved success, but they will not become the mainstream, and will only become niche entertainment at most.

As for the settings in this regard, the best ones are not those classic RPG games such as Diablo 2, Everquest, and Final Fantasy.

On the contrary, the domestic online games are smart about this point, and become stronger from scratch, including the social interaction in the game, and the shaping of the identity. The experience of domestic online games in this regard is really the pinnacle.

It’s just different from stand-alone games. If you want to experience these elements, you need to invest a lot of money. As long as you have money, the fun you experience in online games will be dozens of times that of stand-alone games, or even higher. .

In the world of "Jianghu", apart from the plot of the game, what is really interesting is to make them feel that this is a real world.

The time system of alternating day and night, the weather system of wind, rain, snow and sunshine, and the intelligent dynamic system of NPC's free activities, these are vividly displayed in the game.

In addition to these, the most important thing is the performance of the physics engine in the game.

Just like what Zhang Wei experienced in the game now.

Game time has come to night.

Following the plot in the game, Zhang Wei has joined a sect called Quanzhen Sect.

Of course, this plot is just what Zhang Wei thinks. From the beginning of the game, Zhang Wei just followed the leading NPC to do the main task he thought, but he didn't know that if he ignored this task, wandering around might trigger more surprises.

"Wow, how could I beat this senior brother!"

Looking at the failure on the screen again, Zhang Wei felt a little embarrassed.

According to the plot, the protagonist is locked up, but there is a task where he has to go down the mountain by himself, and this problem arises.

If you want to get out, you have to defeat the senior brother of Quanzhen Sect, but according to the level in the game, your own character is a third-rate master, and the senior brother is a second-rate top master, not an opponent at all!

Like many players, after Zhang Wei saw the mission requirements, he didn't think about other mysteries. Instead, he played a few rounds with the big brother, but finally found out that he was not the opponent at all.

"There should be other ways. The mission is just to walk out of the mountain gate, but not to defeat the senior brother. Maybe there is no need to fight at all!" Wang Bin next to him suggested.

He has been watching Zhang Wei play for more than an hour, but he doesn't feel bored at all, instead he enjoys it.

Really a great game!

Looking at the game screen, Wang Bin thought to himself.

If it wasn't a game with a martial arts background, but a Western fantasy game, Wang Bin would never believe that a game of this quality was actually made in China.

"But how did you sneak out? I checked all the inside of the house, and there are no secret passages or clues at all!" Zhang Wei said helplessly.

The first time he tried to fight the big brother, after he failed, he wondered if there were other clues in the room, and after checking all of them to make sure there were no, he started to challenge the big brother constantly.

"By the way, didn't you give you a shovel for your previous mission to dig mines? See if you can dig a tunnel. Wasn't there a demonstration about this at the Cologne Game Show?" Wang Bin suddenly thought Something said to Zhang Wei.

shovel?Digging a tunnel?

What?

Hearing Wang Bin's words, Zhang Wei, who was thinking about how to break the situation, had black question marks on his face.

Is this okay?

1 minutes later……

"My Cao! This is fine!" Seeing the dug tunnel, Zhang Wei's eyes widened.

This scene happened to countless players of "Jianghu", but the plot scenes are different.

Soon the major forums and post bars, as well as the player groups, were filled with the most topics, and that was about Jianghu.

In a certain QQ game group, a group of players had a heated discussion.

"Wo Cao, this game is amazing! It took me more than half an hour to create the interface!"

"It's just pinching people. Does being handsome make you stronger?"

Immediately, a gangster appeared in the group and retorted.

After two seconds, two screenshots appeared.

They are all pictures of rivers and lakes games, a woman wearing a veil is talking to the character created by the player in the game.

It's just that the dialogue content of the two pictures is different.

"Thank you, son, for your righteousness and rescue. Now that the world is in chaos, I don't know if you are willing to join my Xiaoyaozimen, and contribute your own strength to the righteous martial arts?" '

"Thank you for your rescue, and the money will be given to you." '

The same woman, the same plot, but different results!

"Who said that being handsome can't make you stronger? I found out that NPCs in this game discriminate against appearance! For the same plot, I used face-squeezing ratings to pick it up, and I went straight into a terrific Xiaoyaozimen; Use an ugly guy to pick it up, give me some money and send it away!"

"Also, I'm so ugly, the owner of the bun shop in the town won't sell my buns! I'm handsome, and the owner of the bun shop will give me the unsold buns for free!"

There is obviously a player in the group who seems to have nothing to do. He has fully practiced the pros and cons of pinching and scoring, and put two screenshots.

"Don't talk about it, you guys are good. I was too lazy to answer the question at the beginning, so I chose a random life, and then turned me into a beggar. I was bullied by the old beggar on the first day. If I didn't go there, I just died! My classmate Like me, I chose a random life, and then he is a master teacher of the Wudang School, with his own Wudang unique Taiji swordsmanship, and Wudang Jiuyang Kungfu, what the hell!"

Soon someone in the group replied with a screenshot.

And as more and more people responded, all players discovered a problem, that is, almost no one's game plot is the same.

Even if there are some similarities, the follow-up direction is completely different!
　It may be 1 update today. I have to go through the resignation procedures and find a new job. I have been busy recently.
