Agreed to make bad games, What the Hell is Titan Fall 30
by admin## Chapter 30: Though Ten Thousand Men Stand Against Me, I Will Advance
Zhuang Zhuang let out an indignant roar and restarted the game.
Liu Liu, though laughing loudly, also embarked on a new round of the game.
It’s undeniable, this is a truly addictive game.
At first glance, you might feel that it’s simple, even rudimentary in terms of graphics and controls.
But it’s precisely this simple operation that makes you attribute your repeated failures to “bad luck”, prompting you to start the next round, convinced you’ll absolutely get lucky this time!
In essence, this game is like a pinball machine.
There’s no skill or cost involved in launching the ball.
All you can do is launch it, watch it navigate through obstacles and fall naturally.
And when it lands in the scoring pocket below, you either rage in frustration or erupt in joyous cheers.
In fact, Vampire Survivors even surpasses pinball in terms of visual stimulation.
The flashy effects and attack barrages not only allow you to directly witness your own growth but also provide players with an incredibly stress-relieving experience during the mass slaughter of monsters.
From being weak against enemies, to gambling your way to strength, to reverse harvesting, and back to being weak against enemies.
The dynamic difficulty adjustment constantly raises the player’s pleasure threshold, creating a spiral-ascending logical closed loop for the game, captivating players completely!
Each time you upgrade with a choice of three options or open a treasure chest, it feels like scratching a lottery ticket, filled with uncertainty.
The continuously secreted dopamine continuously stimulates the cerebral cortex, making it impossible to quit!
Zhuang Zhuang and Liu Liu were completely engrossed!
From eight o’clock in the evening until twelve o’clock!
A full four hours!
Although the game didn’t have online play, the two still created a double-player game feel through voice channels!
They would occasionally taunt each other, exchange information about weapon strength.
They were having a blast, shouting and yelling, like eight-year-olds experiencing a video game console for the first time, filled with novelty and fervent enthusiasm!
This is the pure joy that belongs only to gamers.
This is a game purely designed to satisfy the player’s pleasure.
Although it was already midnight.
Both their livestreams were still ablaze with excitement!
Especially Liu Liu’s livestream!
‘Damn! Sister’s awesome this time!’
‘It really does pay off to upgrade weapons’
‘These effects, getting cooler and cooler’
‘Feels like Liu Liu’s mastered this game’
‘Four hours, bro, I’m gonna learn it just by watching’
‘What the… it’s twelve already? Time for bed!’
‘Screw work! Watch the stream! No sleep!’
‘Listen to advice, eat your fill, then don’t sleep’
‘?’
‘But how come it looks like Liu Liu’s about to fall again?’
‘…’
At this moment!
The game had entered its fifteenth minute, with half the goal of surviving for thirty minutes already achieved.
The screen was already packed with monsters.
Liu Liu stood in the center of the screen, constantly dodging and weaving.
Even though she had a level seven whip, a level six holy water, a level five axe, and a full-level cross, her damage was considerable.
But there were just too many monsters, they were like a tide, one wave after another, one after another.
Their ferocity was even scarier than the grandmas and grandpas who rush to the supermarket for eggs at eight in the morning.
To make matters worse, the game difficulty seemed to have taken another jump.
Countless green cult fanatics swarmed in, not only with ridiculously high health points but also massive damage, a single hit taking half her health.
“Aaaaaaaaah——No! Don’t come near!”
For a moment, Liu Liu was caught between a rock and a hard place, she didn’t know where to run.
The monsters surrounded her from all sides, almost filling the entire screen.
“It’s over! Sister! I’m gonna die!”
In the voice chat, Zhuang Zhuang, who had come to snoop on his sister’s game progress, also let out a gloating voice:
“Too bad, those max-level weapons are going to waste——”
As Zhuang Zhuang’s jeering words echoed, a small elite monster closest to Liu Liu was killed, dropping a treasure chest.
“Don’t worry! Watch me change my fate with this treasure chest!”
Liu Liu gritted her teeth, squeezed through the crowd of monsters, desperately reaching for the treasure chest.
While Zhuang Zhuang laughed heartily, unconcerned: “Sister, give up the struggle, you’ll get nothing but this junk from that chest, you’re done for.”
At the same time!
Liu Liu finally reached the treasure chest!
Boom——!!!
With fireworks flying, the treasure chest opened, colorful ribbons flying in the air, like fruit machine prize animations scrolling!
Before, Liu Liu had opened quite a few chests, each with a blue ribbon scrolling for about two or three seconds before revealing the final prize.
But this time!
The blue ribbon scrolled for a full three seconds but showed no signs of stopping!
Is it glitching?
Liu Liu was stunned, just about to ask when…
She heard the game’s prize-winning sound effect suddenly become exciting!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The blue ribbon instantly turned into three purple ribbons, surging out of the chest!
“What the heck!!!” Liu Liu and Zhuang Zhuang were both shocked!
“Triple Yellow Egg?!”
However!
It wasn’t over yet!
The next second, she heard the prize-winning music become even more inspiring, instantly transforming into an 8-bit orchestral performance!
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
The three purple ribbons directly turned into five golden ribbons!
“Waah! Five of them!”
Liu Liu couldn’t help but scream!
The designer knows how to make an exciting prize draw.
Although it’s unknown what the actual prize will be.
Just this animation is enough to make people gasp in amazement, their anticipation reaching a fever pitch!
The barrage was also shocked——
‘Golden, what the heck!’
‘Ohhh—— this is so damn cool!’
‘Shocked, what the heck!’
‘This special effect is too exaggerated hahahahaha’
‘Woc, who wouldn’t be mesmerized by this animation?’
‘It feels like winning five million’
‘It’s so satisfying, damn, this designer must be an old gambling dog’
‘…’
At this moment!
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the shimmering golden ribbons!
Countless pairs of eyes watched the results of this prize draw!
They focused their attention, holding their breath!
Finally!
Five rewards appeared on the screen.
And in the center, stood a weapon that no one had ever seen before!
On a sharp golden sword, dazzling light emanated!
“What the heck!!!”
Before Liu Liu could speak, Zhuang Zhuang was already shocked:
“What is that? A new weapon? So cool!”
Liu Liu was also quite surprised, she opened her personal panel to check.
“Holy Sword?”
Liu Liu looked at the new equipment, which was only level one, and was taken aback.
Then, she discovered a serious problem——
“But… it seems to have swallowed my original cross! What the heck!!!”
Damn it!
That was her max-level cross!
Not only was the damage good, it also had a knockback effect, which had saved her many times!
How could a suddenly appearing weapon swallow her lifeline?
What’s even more outrageous is…
“This thing is only level one hahahahahaha!”
In the livestream, Zhuang Zhuang’s merciless laughter exploded:
“Stunned, sister? Level one weapon replacing level eight, restart, don’t struggle.”
Listening to her brother’s gloating laughter and seeing the barrage full of hahaha, Liu Liu was disheartened.
Four hours.
She hadn’t even made it halfway through the game’s time limit.
She had even said that the game was easy.
Now, it seems like the biggest slip-up in her gaming history.
“Sigh——”
Liu Liu closed her equipment bar with a long sigh.
Around her, the waves of monsters stretched endlessly.
Ferocious cultists brandished their daggers, terrifying skeletons strutted menacingly, and chirping vampire bats crept closer.
Liu Liu had lost hope, she let go of the joystick.
But the game character standing in place continued to swing her whip and throw her axe.
Like a hero who could be killed but would never be defeated.
More like herself, who endures daily social beatings but still chooses to greet the sun with a smile.
For a moment, Liu Liu’s mind flashed with a quote from Romain Rolland: There is only one heroism in the world: to see the truth of life and yet to love it.
Perhaps the inspiration and touch that games bring to people are always hidden in seemingly insignificant details.
Everyone has hero dreams.
In reality, you may never have the chance to become a solitary hero.
But games, in this utopia, can help you fulfill your romantic fantasies.
Though ten thousand men stand against me, I will advance.
The next moment.
The Holy Sword descended.
