Capital.
Evening.
Yang Guangji hurriedly took out his keys, opened the door a little hurriedly, then quickly dropped his bag and coat, and sat down in front of the computer that was not turned off.
Wake up the screen.
Open the Vaporwave game platform.
Everything seems so skillful.
He is an...RTS game enthusiast, or to be more precise, a game enthusiast.
Because he plays games not only limited to RTS, but the RTS of Iron Stone Company, which has been throughout his childhood, so he has a strong feeling for this type of game.
This time Linmu Studio released an RTS game, he was very excited and looking forward to it.
Because he has been playing "Breakout" for some time.
I like this studio very much.
I even thought that they are the future of domestic games.
And what else can be more exciting than a player seeing his favorite company release his favorite game type?
Yes.
I can play this game after work.
He started looking forward to it when he went to work this morning, and now he finally got home from work and didn't want to waste a moment.
"Download, download..."
Yang Guangji clicked to start downloading the last patch before "Warcraft" was unlocked.
It was not big.
It was only about 1G.
It was downloaded quickly.
He clicked to start the game.
Then he looked at the page where the Vaporwave game platform started to check the configuration, and rubbed his hands excitedly.
Although.
Some RTS players he knew were not optimistic about the RTS game made by Linmu Studio.
They felt that it was difficult for a company with no previous experience to make an RTS game that surpassed Ironstone.
But Yang Guangji had a different view from them, and he was full of confidence.
Those people did not understand Linmu Studio.
But he did.
They must be able to make RTS easily.
There must be something wrong!
"It's 6:40 in the afternoon. Let's play until 10 pm, have a midnight snack, play for a while, and then go to bed."
Yang Guangji glanced at the time, and then looked at the group of players he often hung out with, and saw the game interface appear.
Only then did he put down his phone and held the mouse.
The Linmu Studio LOGO appeared.
After a short cutscene.
The start interface of "Warcraft" classic chain hanging appeared.
Yang Guangji glanced at the start interface.
Conventional single-player mode, multiplayer game, LAN battle, options and return.
In the sub-interface of the single-player mode, in addition to the campaign and custom game, there is also a quick single
-player game. He thought about it and clicked on the quick single-player game.
The interface was suspended and a new interface reappeared.
Let him choose to teach or start a quick game directly with the computer.
"Can't you play directly against people?"
Yang Guangji was a little dissatisfied when he saw that this quick game was against AI.
He has played RTS games for a long time.
It can be said that he has been playing RTS games throughout his childhood.
So he is quite confident in himself and feels that he will have no problem playing RTS games, even if it is a new game.
But he changed his mind and thought that this was a new game launched by Linmu Studio, so he resisted the idea of playing directly and chose to practice with the computer.
Forget it.
Get familiar with it first.
After groping, Yang Guangji set the map race and difficulty.
Finally entered the game.
"There are four races..."
Yang Guangji exclaimed with a little surprise, and then the game started.
The familiar interface that appeared in the promotional document reappeared on his screen.
A gold mine, a main base, and five peasants.
Yang Guangji clicked the mouse, looked at the dynamic avatar of the peasant at the bottom center of the screen, sighed that the picture was awesome, and took a screenshot and sent it to the group.
Soon,
he figured out a lot of things.
After all, he really played a lot of RTS games.
He organized some peasants to dig gold mines, and organized some peasants to cut trees, and then clicked on the main base to look at the function interface and the buildings that can be built.
Although the operation is a little different from the RTS he has played,
the underlying logic must be the same.
Collect resources, build new buildings, build soldiers, and defeat opponents.
So when he saw that there were enough resources, he built a barracks as soon as possible.
He didn't even look at the other buildings carefully.
Because apart from those dark buildings that do not have enough resources to build, the others must be research and development or defense buildings.
He is familiar with them.
There is no rush for those things.
And the barracks sound like they are used to build combat units.
This is more urgent!
After a few minutes of exploration, Yang Guangji soon felt that he had almost figured out the game.
He took another screenshot and sent it to the group, and began to tell the group members about his feelings about playing.
Who dares to say that Linmu Studio can't make RTS!
Yang Guangji said this at the end and switched back to the game.
Because he was playing on the computer, he was quite relaxed.
And this game was too similar to the RTS of Iron Stone Company that he had played before, so there was no pressure at all.
He felt that he could almost play against others.
So.
Yang Guangji began to play while broadcasting the process of playing in the group, recommending it to others.
And some people seemed to be quite interested in this game and asked some details.
Yang Guangji answered while playing with ease.
"It's the same as the RTS of Iron Stone Company, but the picture is better and the operation is smoother!"
He switched back to the game.
The game had been going on for about ten minutes.
Yang Guangji looked at the resources and began to see what other buildings there were.
This time.
Because there were a lot of resources, many buildings were lit up.
He finally noticed the most important building that he had overlooked before - the altar.
"Summon and revive heroes?"
Yang Guangji clicked on the construction with a groping mentality.
Looking at the altar that began to take shape in the hands of the farmers.
Yang Guangji sighed again, the picture was really awesome, and then when the altar was built, he clicked in to take a look.
Just this one look.
He realized something was wrong.
"Archmage, King of the Hill, Paladin, Blood Mage...?"
Yang Guangji was stunned: "Is it the commander who adds BUFF?"
This is different from the RTS he has played. He was puzzled and randomly clicked on the archmage.
Then.
This seemed to be a signal.
Things started to go wrong more and more...
First, the hero came out, and each time he was selected, he had an independent voice.
This hero character was obviously different from ordinary soldiers.
Then, the soldier he arranged to explore the way was killed by a wild monster.
Wild monster?
In addition.
As resources increased.
In addition to the barracks.
He also found other bases for producing soldiers-the mysterious sanctuary, the griffin cage, and the workshop.
And each manufacturing base has a special soldier.
This is not bad.
Other RTS also have differences in soldiers.
But isn't this game too much, eleven types!
In addition to the conventional infantry and knights,
there are also dragon eagle knights, griffin knights, steam tanks, etc. that have never been heard of...
Each type of soldier has an introduction and description.
The attack type is different, the armor is different, and it includes the three armies of the navy, army, and air force. The map is also specially designed for it...
There are also heroes with unique characteristics...
Soon,
Yang Guangji became flustered.
Because the computer called...
The opponent's soldiers are different from those of other races.
What Kodo beasts, crushers, troll bat riders...
What claw druids, tree monsters, mountain giants...
As time goes by
, there are more and more contents.
More and more.
Yang Guangji began to sweat.
In the group,
Yang Guangji, who was originally sharing his new game, suddenly disappeared.
Many players who are reluctant to spend money to buy the game for the time being want to ask whether this game is worth buying, and whether it is the same as the RTS of Iron Stone Company.
But there was no reply for a long time.
Yang Guangji lost this game.
But he was not too depressed, but immediately restarted the game. This time he did not choose the human race, but the elf.
With a light in his eyes, he looked at the reopened game.
Then,
he tried the Undead and the Orcs in turn. He
beat each race.
He gradually became proficient.
But he still had not beaten the crazy computer difficulty he chose.
But he became more and more courageous.
When he suddenly raised his head.
The time in the lower right corner of the computer screen was already 11:37.
He had been playing for nearly five hours.
But he didn't feel anything, and even felt unsatisfied.
"...Fuck."
After a short break,
Yang Guangji immediately felt his stomach churning. He picked up his phone to call for takeout, and then took the time to check the messages in the group.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or if no one showed up at night.
The messages in the group were still stuck at the time when he shared the game.
The message asking him whether the game is worth buying and whether it is the same as the RTS of Tieshi Company is still hanging.
Yang Guangji looked at the question in the group, then looked at his screen, then breathed a sigh of relief and replied solemnly: "I take back what I just said. The game is completely different from Tieshi's RTS game, but please believe me, this game is more fun than any RTS game on the market! Any RTS! In addition, this game is not only fun, but it even creates an unprecedented fantasy world! This game... is simply addictive!"
...
"...Is it that exaggerated?"
It was almost twelve o'clock.
Fang Zhiyi, a night owl, looked at the message in the group and was a little unconvinced.
Even created an unprecedented fantasy world?
Isn't this a bit exaggerated?
He doesn't like RTS games and thinks this kind of game is too boring.
So he didn't pre-order the game at all.
However, the CG of Wrath of the Lich King did leave a deep impression on him, and he really wanted to see what kind of story it was...
So he was a little entangled.
Just when he was entangled, someone happened to share his thoughts on playing "Warcraft" in the group, so he thought of asking.
He didn't expect that
this B.
It took him five hours to reply to him...
During this period,
after a psychological struggle,
he watched the Wrath of the Lich King CG again, and he had already bought the game.
"Forget it."
Seeing that the other party stopped replying, Fang Zhiyi stopped reading it, and directly threw down his phone, looking at the downloaded game, and rubbed his hands.
Since the other party said so awesomely, let's go in and take a look.
Of course.
His main purpose is to see the CG of Wrath of the Lich King.
So after entering the game, he didn't play on the computer, but directly chose the single-player campaign.
He was very clear about his purpose. He
just wanted to see the plot.
"It's exactly twelve o'clock now. I'll quit the game at half past one and go to bed. If it's not good, I can get a refund."
Fang Zhiyi looked at the loading page, specially checked the time, and praised his wit.
And the screen in front of him simply loaded.
The game began.
First is the prologue.
Thrall, the leader of the orcs, woke up from a nightmare. A man who could transform into a crow (Medivh) came to tell Thrall that a huge disaster would soon befall the continent of Lordaeron. If Thrall wanted to avoid this disaster, he had to lead his tribe across the ocean to the western continent of Kalimdor...
"That's it."
Fang Zhiyi scratched his head, a little disappointed.
It was indeed different from the CG of Wrath of the Lich King. But this game does feel different from ordinary RTS.
The graphics are good.
The performance is also
good. And the setting is interesting. It's
a bit interesting.
So although he was a little disappointed, he continued to play.
After the orc plot of the prologue, the human plot followed. Medivh came to the human palace and told the human king that a disaster would befall Lordaeron. However, unlike the orc plot this time, the proud humans thought it was completely nonsense, so they drove him away.
And then, Arthas officially appeared.
The name Arthas immediately attracted Fang Zhiyi's attention.
Isn't this the Lich King?
Could it be...
Everyone guessed it right. This is the story of the prince's revenge?
Fang Zhiyi glanced at the time and was looking forward to it.
Next.
The plot began to unfold.
Uther and Jaina appeared.
The plague investigation and the plot slowly unfolded.
Fang Zhiyi would occasionally check the time.
But as the plot progressed, he looked at the time less and less frequently...
Then.
One of the most important plot nodes came.
Stratholme.
Seeing Arthas, who appeared righteous, sunny and confident, was still furious and said he would massacre the entire city, and publicly announced that Uther, the messenger of light, was a traitor.
Fang Zhiyi opened his mouth slightly, looking confused.
Then when he was about to control Arthas to participate in the killing competition.
He was dumbfounded.
Wait! Wait! Wait!
This is not right!
Please vote... And there are still many big guys who have not been thanked for their rewards. I will thank them all later.
