Logically speaking, the Game Committee wouldn't care what game the designer made, as long as it didn't break any laws and didn't affect the review. It was up to the designer if they made a profit or lost money, or if they would be scolded.
But Chen Mo's Dark Souls was different, as it was the first game made by the Pangu System. Many in the Game Committee were looking forward to this game going head to head with Knight of Glory, to showcase the power of the Pangu System. In the end, Chen Mo made a game that tortured the players. Wasn't that a little too much?
But Qiao Hua couldn't do anything about it. The game was already made, he couldn't ask Chen Mo to lower the difficulty, right?
Moreover, Chen Mo wasn't the type to be influenced by others, he was stubborn …
Therefore, Qiao Hua could only hope that Chen Mo would make good use of it.
…
After a few days of hard work, the first batch of talented players who had picked up Dark Souls had basically reached the later stages of the plot.
Lin Xue was the same. She was about to complete all the quests, collecting all the firewood for the Lords of Cinder and arriving at the final scene.
Here, Lin Xue had to face the avatar of the Lord of Cinder. This was the final boss of the game. As long as she defeated the avatar of the previous Lords of Cinder, she would be able to pass the fire and end the game.
At this moment, Lin Xue's character was simply unbearable to look at. She was wearing Havel's heavy armor, wielding a Havel shield in her left hand and an ordinary sword in her right. She looked like a tortoise.
The chat was filled with complaints.
"My god, Xue's playstyle is so cowardly! She's so cowardly. "
"It seems like the difficulty of the game has been lowered quite a bit with Xue's playstyle. She's holding a shield the entire time, it's a lot easier!"
"Wow, she's finally going to challenge the final boss. I think Xue should be able to pass it with her skill."
After a few days of practice, Lin Xue's skills had improved tremendously.
Lin Xue's playstyle was cowardly. She was wearing Havel's armor, holding a shield, and tanking the damage from the boss.
At the same time, she invested a lot of stats into stamina to ensure that she could roll smoothly. Of course, this caused her damage to be very low, but Lin Xue didn't mind. She was just using her sword to grind the boss down. Although it was slow, it was fine as long as she could pass it …
Lin Xue was very good at playing Dark Souls to this extent …
The skills of the Lord of Cinder's incarnation were very cool. From the first person's perspective, the Lord of Cinder's Five Consecutive Slashes created layers of flames, and he kept showing off all kinds of gorgeous moves. Lin Xue blocked all of them with the Havel's shield. She only dared to sneak a few attacks when she saw an obvious gap.
After dying several times, Lin Xue finally succeeded in killing the incarnation of the Lord of Cinder …
"Wow! I'm so awesome! I cleared the stage! Hurry up and send me 666! "
Lin Xue shouted excitedly. Luckily, she was in the gaming cabin. If she was in front of the computer, she would have jumped up and down …
The live stream channel was also flooded with comments of 666. Lin Xue wasn't the first player to clear Dark Souls, but she was among the first.
This was especially true in the streamer circle. While other streamers were still being tortured, Lin Xue had managed to defeat the last boss of the game with this kind of rote memorization and cowardice. She had even successfully cleared the stage!
"Wow, Snow is really talented. Even Chen Mo didn't expect such a player to exist, right?"
"That's Xent's miscalculation! Snow actually solved the game with the mindset of a genius. Haha, how interesting! "
"I think you guys are underestimating Chen Mo. Chen Mo must have thought that someone would use this method to clear the game from the beginning. I think he even encouraged everyone to use this method. It's just that most people didn't manage to clear the game due to their usual mindset!"
"Eh, that makes sense. Snow's strategy is indeed very safe, and it's a different approach. She's indeed a top student. She's really smart!"
On the screen, Lin Xue's character was standing next to the Initial Fire.
She reached her hand above the fire and ignited it.
Then, the fire spread to her entire body. Lin Xue's character, the knight in heavy armor, sat down next to the fire. The camera then slowly panned to the distance, looking at the dark sun …
The game ended, and the first round was over.
Lin Xue let out a long sigh. "Sigh, that's all for today's Dark Souls. I finally cleared the stage! I know there's still a second round, but I've been too tired these past few days. I'm going to take a break before playing the second round. Alright, I'm going to switch computers. See you guys later. "
After switching computers, Lin Xue still felt like she hadn't had enough.
The journey in Dark Souls over the past few days had left her with too many complicated feelings. Like other streamers, she had thought that this was a game that enjoyed torturing people. In order to make it more enjoyable for the audience, Lin Xue had specially researched the game and created a tortoise style of play. She had used a set of heavy armor, a big shield, and a straight sword to successfully clear the game.
But as she played, Lin Xue suddenly realized more things about the game.
As Lin Xue played, she realized that the game wasn't a game with the goal of torturing people. The high difficulty of the game highlighted the intricacies of the combat system and level design.
Lin Xue only had a superficial impression of this. Her intuition was that in the later stages of the game, Dark Souls would become so addictive that she wouldn't want to play other similar games at all.
In Dark Souls, the sense of accomplishment of defeating enemies without getting hurt was far greater than in other games. Moreover, the players had to be careful all the time, so the experience of the game would be richer.
It was like eating an exquisite dish with mixed feelings, and eating anything else in a short period of time would be tasteless.
After finishing the game, Lin Xue felt a little tired, so she didn't continue playing other games. Instead, she bragged to her friends on the bullet screen while she opened the official forum on her computer to look up information about Dark Souls.
Currently, the official forum of Dark Souls was mainly filled with strategy posts and experience sharing posts. Players who were exploring Dark Souls were sharing their new discoveries on the forum. Huddling together for warmth …
At this moment, a hot post caught Lin Xue's attention.
