Finally, after much anticipation, "Dark Soul" was released as scheduled.

This naturally becomes the time for major anchors to show their talents.

For example, Fontaine is one of them.

"Look, everyone! This is the Collector's Edition of Dark Souls!"

He proudly raised the game box in his hand and showed off to the audience on the other side of the camera. Then, Fontaine, who had dyed red hair, began to unpack the box. At the same time, he did not forget to talk to the audience.

"To be honest, I didn't expect Eagle Jump to dare to release an action game. We all know that after the death game incident, Eagle Jump has never released an action game again. To be honest, I don't think they can make any decent action games. But since the producer of Eagle Jump said that this game can make players stronger, then let's see how powerful this game is!"

As he spoke, Fontaine immediately opened the package, showed the PVC figurines and some useless decorations inside to the audience, and then started installing the game. Fontaine was quite confident in himself. After all, he was one of the most famous action game players on the internet, and he was also considered a god-level UP host.

For him, action games are like the cabbages in his backyard, and nothing can stump him. That is why, after watching the live press conference of "Dark Souls", Fontaine immediately ordered a collector's edition, intending to take a good look at what is so special about this game.

"To be honest, I'm not optimistic about it. As you all know, I've played the two previous works of Eagle Jump... Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon, and I had a lot of fun playing them. But this is different from action games, and from the trailer, it seems to have a very dark background. Can you imagine them making such a game? I don't think so..."

During the game installation, Fontaine also expressed his views to the audience. This is not surprising, after all, from the first two games of Eagle Jump, they obviously took the route of all-age cartoons. However, this game is a completely dark and deep Western fantasy background. Just from the things that appear in the trailer, players can see that this is definitely not a game like Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokemon that the whole family can enjoy.

"Okay, the game is installed, let's get started!"

After chatting for a few more words, Fontaine saw that the game had been installed on the screen. He picked up the controller and successfully entered the game.

"Oh, let's take a look. This opening CG... well, it's very well done. I was originally worried that a Pikachu would jump out of it, but now it seems that I was overthinking it. This character creation... let me try my hand at it."

Looking at the character creation system in front of him, Fontaine immediately felt a sense of mischief. He created a character with a massage hairstyle and then entered the game.

However……

"No difficulty selection?"

Seeing the camera turn and directly enter the game, Fontaine was a little surprised. Generally speaking, action games will differentiate the difficulty levels to cater to most players. Of course, for a god-level player like Fontaine, choosing HARD at the beginning can show his extraordinary qualities, and the weak ones can only choose EASY.

But like this...

"Oh, everyone, you have also seen that this game does not have a difficulty selection. This actually makes me a little worried. After all, it is difficult to balance the difficulty of such a game. If there is no difficulty selection..."

As he spoke, Fontaine controlled the game character to walk a few steps, and then saw a series of words appear on the ground in front of him. They were nothing more than some things that taught players how to use skills. Fontaine was tired of seeing these, so he just glanced at them, then pressed a button, confirmed which button was for attack and dodge, and then controlled the character to rush out directly.

Soon, Fontaine saw a few skinny monsters at the exit. They were holding rusty iron swords and rushing towards Fontaine slowly.

"Look, as expected, all the monsters are small monsters. I knew that the routines of these games would not change..."

While complaining, Fontaine raised the sword in his hand and killed the three monsters in just a few strokes.

"Simple! Easy! This kind of... Wow!"

However, before Fontaine could finish his words, he suddenly saw an arrow shot towards him, and Fontaine screamed in fear. However, as a god-level action game player, his reaction was naturally unsatisfactory, and he quickly rolled over to avoid it. At this moment, Fontaine discovered that there was actually a little monster hiding in a corner not far away, aiming a crossbow at him.

"Alas, this little monster is a bit naughty. It knows it can't be defeated, so it hides, but it turns out that this is useless!"

Fontaine teased, then rushed over, raised his sword, and with one, two strikes, he quickly sent the monster to death.

"Simple and easy. Oh, I want to see what the first boss is like now. If it's like this, then this game is too boring."

He killed several monsters along the way, and Fontaine felt that this game was not as interesting as he thought, and he could not help complaining. Then he manipulated his character to open the door, walked into the square, and saw Guda squatting in the middle of the square.

Then Fontaine pulled out the broken sword that was stuck in Guda's body, and then the cutscene began.

"Okay, look, this is the first Boss. Now I... Damn it!"

However, before Fontaine could finish his words, he saw a cutscene play, and then the giant grabbed the weapon next to him and swung it at him. Fontaine was so scared that he subconsciously controlled the character and quickly rolled back. However, just as he got up, he saw Guda rushing in front of him, raising the weapon in his hand and hitting him head-on.

At this moment, Fontaine knew that he could not escape, so he quickly raised the shield in his hand.

However……

“Ding! Ding ding!!”

Under Guda's violent attack, Fontaine only resisted three times before his strength was completely wiped out. Then Guda picked up his shield and pierced through Fontaine's body, lifting him up and smashing him heavily to the ground!

"boom!!"

It was not until this time that Fontaine reacted and hurriedly controlled the character to retreat desperately.

"Fuck, is he that powerful? Are you kidding me? Those monsters were as weak as chickens just now. How come this boss took drugs? He didn't even give me a chance to fight back? And how come I lost two-thirds of my health in just one blow? Are you kidding me?!"

Unfortunately, Guda didn't care about Fontaine's screams. He raised his knife and cut it twice, and sent him home.

What's worse is that since Fontaine hadn't been paying attention before, he didn't light the bonfire, so he started again directly from the cemetery.

“Uh… cough cough…”

At this moment, Fontaine's expression was not good either, and the video also skipped a series of ridicules such as "The old driver overturned hahahahaha". After all, although it is popular to see a master pass the game, it is obviously more interesting for a master to overturn in the gutter.

"Ahem, that was a mistake just now. A mistake."

Looking at the barrage in front of him, Fontaine's face turned red, and he hurriedly controlled his character to run out again, while not forgetting to defend himself.

"I think the difficulty setting of this game is not reasonable. The monsters are so simple, why is the boss so difficult? This is totally not giving players... Damn it!!!"

Before he finished speaking, Fontaine shouted again. This time, in order to save time, he didn't even fight the monsters. After all, in Fontaine's opinion, these monsters were very weak and there were few of them. They couldn't be upgraded by fighting them, so he simply started parkour and dodged past the monsters before fighting the Boss again.

What Fontaine didn't expect was that just when he had passed by a small monster, the monster turned around and swung a sword at him, causing his body to tilt. Before Fontaine could stand up, the other two small monsters surrounded him, raised their swords and slashed at him, sending him home in two or three strikes.

Calculating the time, he would die faster than facing Guda.

"this……"

Looking at the big "YOU DEAD" on the screen, Fontaine's face turned as black as a potcake. Oh my god, this game of yours is poisonous. I just said that the difficulty of this game is unbalanced, and you little monsters came up to kill me, and it was a group fight.

Are all AIs so vindictive these days?

But as a god-level player, this actually aroused Fontaine's interest. When the third time started, he did not just flash by like the previous two times, but carefully read the guide on the ground, and then carefully dealt with the monsters for several rounds, and finally felt a little heartbeat.

but……

"Okay, viewers, I think there's still something wrong with this Boss."

After being hammered to death by Guda for the third time, Fontaine sighed helplessly.

"Maybe this isn't the boss we were supposed to fight in the beginning. This is also a game routine. They deliberately put a boss at the gate that's too difficult for you to beat, and then let the players find other ways out... We just walked this way, and we can be sure that if we continue on this road, we can only fight Guda. Maybe we can find another way..."

As he spoke, Fontaine controlled his character to walk back until he returned to his birthplace, and then he discovered a hidden gap not far away.

"See, I told you there must be a way!"

After discovering this hidden path, Fontaine excitedly slapped his thigh.

"I was wondering before, that boss is so strong, how come it doesn't seem to be for players who have just entered the game. We should go this way... What is this?"

What Fontaine didn't expect was that he saw a notice as soon as he reached the intersection.

"Let's turn back."

"Turn back? So we shouldn't take this road? No, no, no, you're wrong to think so. You see, the system of this game is obviously deliberately using reverse thinking. Many players may see this line of words and go over there obediently, and then they will be beaten to death by Guda. But that side is obviously not the novice area, what does this mean? It means that this line of words is just a trick! Let's go!"

Fontaine nodded a thumbs-up to his own analysis, then walked in proudly.

However, soon, not long after, the screams appeared again.

“Oh my God, what kind of monster is this!! It actually bit me! I ran… ran… why is there no way out! Why is there no way out? Ahhhhhhh! I’m dying again!!!!”

Fontaine's experience is just a microcosm. In fact, all the players who had seen the promotion and bought Dark Souls before are now in self-doubt.

Who am I? Where am I? Why am I playing this?

There are even many players who couldn't help but post on various Weibo to express their feelings.

"I don't feel like I'm getting stronger, I feel like the Boss is getting stronger!"

"Passion and excitement? I just felt that I was killed very quickly. I didn't feel any excitement at all!"

For a time, various BBS forums and Weibo were full of complaints, and even the Eagle Leap was filled with messages from players and users from all over the world.

"Is this really okay?"

Looking at the comments on the official website, Yagami's heart was trembling. Although the company had also experienced abuse during the "SAO" incident, at that time, Eagle Jump could only be regarded as being shot while lying down. But this time is different. This time the blame is theirs, and they can't get rid of it no matter how they try.

"No problem, it's very stable, don't worry."

Fang Zheng was watching those live game videos with Ai Ge at the moment. Whenever they saw those UP hosts being tortured to death, they would both smile knowingly...

Seeing this scene, Yagami Hikaru was speechless and could only let them do things on their own.

The employees of Eagle Leap originally thought that their company was going to fail completely this time, but what they didn’t expect was that although many people complained about the game being too difficult in the first few days after the release, these voices gradually became quieter, and many players started to brag!

There was even a player who posted a post saying that he was tortured to death in Dark Souls, so he wanted to find another action game to relax. What he didn't expect was that those action games that he had played before were easily completed in the blink of an eye!

"After playing Dark Souls and then other action games, I feel like I've gone back from my senior year of high school to my first year of elementary school."

Under this post, many players also said that this is indeed the case. They originally thought that Dark Souls was extremely difficult, but what they didn't expect was that after playing Dark Souls and then playing other action games, they actually found that these games were extremely easy, and even many places that they originally needed to work hard and rely on luck to pass, they could pass them with their eyes closed!

At this moment, the players also remembered what Fang Zheng said at the press conference, and were immediately astonished.

A game that makes players stronger!

Yes, players can really feel it, even if they are still struggling in Dark Souls, or even being chased by the boss all over the street. But when they switch to an action game, they find that the difficulty suddenly seems to be reduced several times, and even HARD feels like EASY!

This game is poisonous!

After players gradually discovered the fun of Dark Souls, their attitudes changed. Not to mention the media, as the saying goes, whoever feeds you is your mother. Fang Zheng spent so much money on PR, not to let them sabotage. In addition, Dark Souls is indeed of high quality. Although many players in Asia were not used to it at the beginning, European and American players are very accustomed to this type of game. Therefore, it didn't take long for Dark Souls to become a trend that swept the whole world!

This is what I want.

Sitting proudly behind his desk, Fang Zheng looked at all the posts and discussions on his computer that praised Dark Souls, and his nose was almost up in the air. He hadn't gone anywhere during this period of time, and stayed in the game world. Now it seemed that this was really...

"Um?"

However, just as Fang Zheng was checking the post with great interest, he suddenly felt a faint warm current coming from his lower abdomen, and then a line of system prompts appeared in front of Fang Zheng.

[Activate special mission]

[Special Mission: God Creation]

[The game you created has become popular all over the world. You are the god of games in the eyes of players. What you need to do is to make your title worthy of the name.]

[Task requirements: Create games that can change the world in three worlds in a row]

[Complete the mission to obtain the priesthood: God of Games]

[Mission Failure Divinity -1]

Seeing this, Fang Zheng shuddered all over, then slammed the table in excitement and stood up.

This is what I want!!!
