Almighty Game Designer Chapter 554: “Soul Studies”
The **** players of "Dark Souls" are very scary. Soon, more and more quick killing videos appeared.
In the first step, the authors of most quick-kill videos try to reproduce the effect of Chen Mo's quick-killing of the unknown king. Although few people can succeed, this short video has obviously become a textbook for quick-kill players.
Another more intuitive feeling for players is the worldview and plot of the game.
These players quickly explored every corner of the entire "Dark Souls" and tried their best to dig out the plot behind every NPC. What shocked everyone was that this game turned out to have multiple endings. Game, and every npc has a corresponding life experience and ending!
And what the players talk about most is the dispute over the true and false ending in this game.
In the four endings, except for the fire ending, the other three endings are very popular.
The first one is the ordinary end of the fire. The player has fulfilled his destiny and continued the initial fire. This is also the ending played out by most players in the week.
The second ending is dubbed by some players as the "double stay and double flight ending". The player and the fire girl discovered the secret hidden behind the fire transmission, so the player and the fire girl chose to extinguish the flame, and the world fell into darkness.
The last ending is the Lord of Darkness ending, and it is also the ending discovered by the previous hot forum players. After rescuing Rondoll's patroller, he will pull out the hidden dark power for the player. Eventually, the player will gather eight dark circles, and eventually swallow the flames, becoming the dark king of the new world.
As to which one is the real ending, players are arguing over the forum.
Players who support the ending of the spread of the fire said that from the beginning, the spread of the fire was the long-cherished wish of the entire world, and after the flame was extinguished, the world fell into eternal night, and there were lone ghosts everywhere. There was no light in this world. , How could it be the real ending? Obviously the flame should be passed on.
The players who supported the ending of the Dark Lord said that from all indications, the spreading of fire is most likely a lie, and the tragic experience of those salaried kings has already demonstrated this. And this game is called "Dark Soul", which has long implied that darkness is the only destination.
As for the players who chose the "Double-stay and Double-Fly Ending", they said that regardless of whether they spread the fire or not, I only want the fire-resistant lady!
In order to demonstrate which ending is the best ending, players began to discover all the clues left by Chen Mo in the game, including branch plot analysis, location verification, item descriptions, and so on.
Some players even call this play "Soul Studies", a theory about the study of "Dark Souls".
The world view of "Dark Souls" is hidden in a large number of item descriptions, and this world view is very fragmented. It requires players to have a very strong brain supplement ability to make a relatively reliable story.
Moreover, there is no "Dark Soul 1" in the parallel world, so for players, some questions are destined to be unanswered.
If the plots of "Dark Souls 1" and "Dark Souls 3" are combined, most players will think that the dark ending and the end of spreading the fire are the real ending of this game.
But since there is no story content of "Dark Souls 1," players in this world have doubts about this.
At the same time, under the continuous digging of the players, both the supporting role's story background and the entire worldview of the game have become fuller. Only then did the players discover that "Dark Souls" has opened up the whole story. The content displayed is just the tip of the iceberg floating on the water!
Because in the absence of a strategy, most players are destined to miss a large number of branches.
In "Dark Souls", there are many settings that make players feel a little chilly.
For example, what is the identity of the protagonist? At the beginning of the movie, it is said that the protagonist is the ashes without fire, and the undead who cannot be paid. Then what kind of existence was the protagonist before his resurrection?
After defeating the Demon King, players will find a fire-free sacrificial field in Losric City. The layout of this fire-free sacrificial place is the same as the fire-passing sacrificial place, except that this is a completely dark world, a world where the fire is extinguished.
From various signs, "Dark Souls" is a world of chaotic time and space, and even players who want to find other players must invade or summon spells.
So what is the relationship between the fire-free sacrificial field and the hero Guda and the player's current fire-passing sacrificial field?
Someone found that after defeating the hero Guda in the Fireless Sacrifice Field, he would get a broken spiral sword; and when the player first teleported from the Fire Passing Sacrificial Field to the city of Losric, there was another half of the spiral sword behind~ IndoMTL.com~ At the same time, the name of this game is "Dark Soul", so what does Dark Soul represent?
Some people say that it represents humanity, and some people say it represents the power of the abyss. But why does a game with fire spreading as its main background use "Dark Souls" as its name?
Fire Girl, Saint, Tsundere Knight Igo, Thief, Siris, Anri, Onion Knight, Frustrated Brother, etc., a series of supporting roles in "Dark Souls" actually have their own stories and endings. But most of these endings are very tragic.
Even no matter how hard the players work, they cannot arrange a better ending for them, because there is no good ending in the game.
Like a saint, she shoulders the mission of becoming a fire-passing woman. If she comes into contact with the dark scripture scriptures, she will lose her mind, and will only be eroded by the darkness and die in the player's hands.
But if she didn't learn the dark scriptures, and finally became a fire girl, she would become a machine that only knows how to upgrade players, waiting to die alone in a tower full of fire girl corpses.
And Igo, the knight who guards her, will also commit suicide in the dungeon where the saint started.
The more plots players discover in this game, the more they realize that this is a desperate game, not only the difficulty of the game, but also the story background of the game!
This world is indeed a darker world than "Diablo", and players can't even change anything.
Unique combat system, level design and story background make "Dark Souls" a unique game.
At the beginning, players labeled it "highly difficult" and "masturbated", but as players learn more about this game, more and more Players praised "Dark Soul"!
