The group gods who retired to fish in Genshin Impact

The recently released domestic stand-alone game Black Myth seems to be very popular.

Even my family members knew about it, and even my mom, who never plays games and has no interest in or attention to TV series, movies, or anime, knew about it.

I was totally stunned. Today, my family suddenly stopped me and asked me what I thought about the popular game Black Myth. I was totally stunned.

My family never plays games, how did they know about this game?

He also asked me how much the game cost, what kind of computer I needed, and whether I could play it on my phone. Fuck, I didn't know where to start answering.

I don’t know where they saw that this kind of game costs money, nor do I know how they knew about this game, nor do I know to what extent the game’s promotion and publicity has been achieved to attract a group of middle-aged and elderly people to pay attention to it.

My family doesn’t watch the news either, because they are too busy every day and have no time to watch it. The TV at home hasn’t been turned on for almost ten years and it’s broken.

Basically, they are all like me. Apart from work, they just sleep, and at most they squeeze out some time to have some entertainment time.

Although their entertainment time may be a little longer than mine, after all, they just have to finish work and go home.

When I get home, I am busy drawing, looking at the pattern of the prop, measuring the data, and writing some novels.

Then I went online to see if there were any suitable materials or substitutes. It basically took me an hour or two to do it. Two or three hours passed.

Especially when looking for materials, I often forget the time while looking at them, and then when I come to my senses, I realize that an hour or two has passed.

It's a waste of time, and then I will take back this Black Myth thing. Although I have paid attention to this game, I have no desire since it went online.

As for why I lost my desire for it, I will talk about that later. First, let me talk about my family. How did they know about this game? It was because of the location of this game.

The setting of this game is... Your Mother's Kiss. ​​I can't type the real place name. Let me think of something to replace it. It's called the west side of the mountain.

You should be able to extract the key place names from these four words.

The filming location is on the west side of the mountain, and I collected a lot of things. Coincidentally, my family now works in one of the intangible cultural heritage wine industries on the west side of the mountain.

This winery has a long history and is one of the two famous wines in this area. In the past two years, it has expanded to our side to attract business.

Then my mother's old boss took over and poached my mother over to continue doing this together.

Because my mother used to work in the wine business, but she worked in a local winery and managed the local wine business very well.

But later on, the same thing happened in their company. The leader was crazy and insisted on arranging his relatives to take positions, squeezing out a group of company veterans, including my mother.

What happened to the relatives and his what? The people they trained were all a bunch of idiots, and their winery was almost bankrupt. It has only recovered slightly in the past two years. With a new series, it is still alive.

Then my mother's old boss and my mother developed this new wine, which is one of the two major wines on the west side of the mountain.

Then coincidentally, I heard my mom say that this was the filming location of the game, and a part of it seemed to be some location of the winery, or the birthplace of the winery.

I'd like to mention this by the way. I didn't understand this wine, and my mother didn't understand it either. After all, she didn't know much about games. She just saw the promotion shared by others, and then came to me to ask about it with only a vague understanding.

I didn't know how to answer at the time, after all, I was very confused. Then after I sorted out my thoughts, I roughly mentioned the price of the game.

And don't even think about running this kind of game on that crappy computer of ours. It's fucking hard to run CF and Minecraft on it.

If you want to play this game, you probably need to buy a new computer. The more expensive the better, at least a desktop computer worth 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.

Although the price may be a bit high, the configuration must be the best.

Of course this is not the highest price, I just quoted a little more.

It’s purely because if my family really wants to learn about this game and wants to buy a good computer, I’ll try to get a higher configuration.

If I put it in the store, I can also download Minecraft and decorate it with modules to play with. After all, as we all know, no game can compare to Minecraft with excellent modules installed.

That will really make your computer crash.

Add all the light and shadow material modules to it, and the effect is amazing!

I'm talking about computer explosions, don't get me wrong, not any other explosions.

So I had a little bit of selfishness at that time.

And let me seriously point out that this game is absolutely impossible to play on a mobile phone, unless you want to experience the moment when the phone begins to burn apart in your hand.

After that, my family members thought about it and did some stuff. Although they didn’t think much about it, they had no intention of playing it at all. They just wanted to learn more about this crappy game.

It was purely because I found that the game mentioned the place over there on the stadium that I came here to check it out on a whim.

They had no plans to change their computers or play this game. They just thought that the game was not expensive at over 200 or 300 yuan.

At least it's better than downloading the game for free and then having to keep buying skins and props.

However, I think this kind of game is actually not as good as those games that allow you to buy skins and props for long-term development.

Because stand-alone games now generally just tell a story, complete the side quests, and then the main quest is gone, and the rest depends entirely on your imagination.

If you have a good imagination, you can play something else in it yourself, and add some modules to make it work.

If you don’t have a strong imagination, you won’t bother to think of any stories or add any modules to create new stories.

Basically, in stand-alone games, as long as there are side quests to complete, people who pursue completing the game will usually do it.

If most players finish the side quests and can't find them anymore, or are too lazy to look at guides, then this game can be said to be left gathering dust in the warehouse.

Or they add a plug-in after completing the main storyline or clearing a level, and after having fun using the plug-in for a while, they lose interest in the game and then throw it into the warehouse to collect dust.

Then look for the next game, spend a few hundred or dozens of dollars to buy a game, spend some time to complete it, and then throw it into the warehouse to collect dust.

This is almost a pain point for single-player games, as there is nothing to do after completing the game.

You can either play games with a relatively high degree of freedom like Prototype, Spider-Man or similar games, including the Grand Theft Auto series, where you can complete the main and side quests and do whatever you want.

Or you can play games like Sekiro for the second and third rounds, constantly challenging the monsters until you have mastered your skills.

Or you can continue to explore the world or do other things like Zelda Monster Hunter, and still have fun.

Otherwise there's really nothing that can be done.

Especially Black Myth, which is actually similar to Sekiro, in that it gives a main goal, then adds a main plot and story, then some side quests, and then you complete the game to the ending and defeat the final boss.

If there is a hidden ending, then use it. If there is no hidden ending, then basically you either have to go back and play it all over again the next weekend, or use a cheat to have some fun and crush the monsters that crushed you before, and then that’s it.

At most, you can add a module to change the character model, and then do some fancy things, such as the Emperor Hero fighting against the Heavenly Palace.

After that, we can only rely on the secondary creation. If the secondary creation is good, it can produce a lot of high-quality works. If the secondary creation is not good, it is basically the end.

As for the game Black Myth, I have said before that I have lost desire for this game.

The main reason is that his plot setting is when he paid tribute to the 86 version of Journey to the West and the original -chapter version of Journey to the West, that is, the version written by Wu Chengen.

I thought this game should be pretty good, but after it was officially launched, I read other people’s plot summaries and found that this game is fucking shit.

Don't get me wrong, I'm referring to the plot. As for its combat aspects, I can't comment on it because I haven't played it.

How ridiculous is his plot?

Sun Wukong fell in love with the White Bone Demon, and then for some reason, he decided to beat her to death three times to prove that he did not have these desires, but he regretted it in the end.

Then Bajie fell in love with the spider spirit. It seemed that the spider spirit had some reincarnation setting but we didn’t pay much attention to it. Anyway, Bajie fell in love with the spider spirit and had a child with her.

What a fucking crazy plot. Although Bajie in the original novel is lustful, he wouldn't go so far as to have children with other monsters.

When they break up, they always go back to Gao Laozhuang instead of to Pansi Cave or the Kingdom of Women.

Then there are some very amazing plots and copywriting, such as Red Boy was not the biological son of Bull Demon King, but was born to Princess Iron Fan after drinking the water from the Mother and Child River.

Moreover, Red Boy is no longer a human being, he has turned into a Yaksha, and he looks extremely ugly, a bit like the offspring of the Red Devil in Marvel and the Red Demon in Japan.

The whole person is red, with a big belly, narrow shoulders, a big head, and two small horns on his head.

Although it still looks acceptable after the transformation, it really has nothing to do with Red Boy. It's just like being given the name Red Flower.

My friends were completely devastated after seeing Red Boy’s appearance, and posted several messages on their Moments cursing the creative team and image designer of Black Myth.

After all, the Red Boy in the original book does not look like this.

Let me find for you the description of Red Boy in the original novel.

Just put it below.

But I saw that monster: his face was three parts white as if he had applied powder, his lips were as red as if he had applied cinnabar, his hair was as black as clouds and as dark as indigo, his eyebrows were as crescent-shaped as if they were cut with a knife.

The skirt is embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, and looks more sturdy than Nezha. With spears in both hands, he walks out with awe-inspiring power and auspicious light protecting his body.

The voice is as loud as the roar of spring thunder, and the eyes are as bright as lightning. If you want to know the real surname of this demon, the name known through the ages is Red Boy.

Then, in case you don’t understand, I will explain it briefly.

The whole paragraph probably means:

Red Boy's face was as white and tender as if it had been powdered, his lips were very rosy, his hair was as black as if it had been dyed, and his eyebrows were as thin and long as if they had been trimmed, like a crescent moon that had just appeared at the beginning of the month.

Then he was wearing a battle skirt embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, and his figure looked even more wealthy and powerful than Nezha.

I don't need to say much about how handsome Nezha is. Compared with Nezha, Red Boy has a better physique than Nezha. The two are on par with each other.

He came out of the door with a flaming spear in both hands and auspicious light surrounding him.

This is how the original work describes Red Boy’s appearance.

As for the latter part of the sentence, it has little to do with appearance, so I won’t translate it. If you are interested, you can search it online.

It can be seen that in the original work, Red Boy is a very handsome young man.

But in Black Myth he turned into a guy who was so ugly that you couldn't tell what he was.
