Chen Mo sighed helplessly as he looked at the players' comments on Weibo.
"Morals are degenerating, people aren't what they used to be."
"What's wrong with the players? What happened to the trust between people? "
"Isn't it better to be more sincere?"
Zou Zhuo was shocked, "Wow, how can you say something like that? Who was the one who told everyone that Dark Souls was a lawnmower game? "
Chen Mo thought for a moment, "If that's the case … I'll have to use my ultimate move!"
Zou Zhuo scratched his head, "Manager, you have so many tricks up your sleeves, which one are you referring to?"
"Hehe," Chen Mo laughed coldly, "Trying to avoid a trap? Impossible, I'll arrange it right away! "
Zou Zhuo shuddered, "Why do I feel like … something terrible is about to happen …"
…
…
As the research and development of Monster Hunter continued to progress, more and more information was revealed.
All the signs pointed towards the direction that the players were speculating.
The name of the game was announced, Monster Hunter.
The weapons that the players could use were: greatsword, katana, katana, dual swords, sledgehammer, hunting flute, spear, spear, axe, shield axe, Bug Stick, light crossbow, heavy crossbow, bow and arrow, a total of fourteen weapons.
In addition, the concept art for the game was revealed, including Ancient Forest, Anthill Wasteland, Coral Mesa, Miasma Valley …
As more and more information was revealed, the playstyle of the game was very obvious. It was an ARPG with survival, adventure, and hunting as the theme. The players had to use various weapons to fight against giant dragons, hunt them, and collect materials from the monsters to craft equipment for themselves.
Many players felt that they were smart enough to see through Chen Mo's scheme!
"I knew it, it's definitely a Souls-related game! Look at the greatsword, look at the weapon! The weapons seem to be more varied than in Dark Souls, but they're all the same! "
"That's right, what's the point of having beautiful concept art! What's the point of having beautiful weapons? They can't hide the fact that this is a game of torture! "
"I won't play it, not even if I die!"
"Yeah, don't be fooled by the beautiful promotional materials. Dark Souls was the same when it was first released, don't fall for it again!"
"Also, these monsters have to use the latest AI! What the hell! Goodbye! "
As more and more information about the game was exposed, the players became more and more determined to never play it.
In fact, the players could also feel that although Monster Hunter and Dark Souls had a sense of déjà vu, they were completely different types of games and couldn't be lumped together. For example, Monster Hunter allowed players to use bows, light crossbows, heavy crossbows, and other long-range weapons as their main weapons, but bows in Dark Souls were mostly used to lure monsters.
Apart from that, the entire combat system was completely different. The game scenery, enemies, and other aspects were also vastly different.
If one had to say what was similar, it should be that they would both suffer …
Although a large portion of the players were wavering, the overall reaction of the players was …
He was determined not to play!
However, when Monster Hunter's promotional cinematic was released, Chen Mo made an announcement that surprised many players.
Free trial!
That's right, Monster Hunter was similar to Mystical Seas. Players could try out the first part of the game for free.
Although many players scolded Chen Mo for being a jerk about Mystical Seas, many of them felt that Chen Mo was still quite kind after thinking about it.
Strictly speaking, there was a difference between buying and refunding the game and trying it out for free. It was difficult to tell if the player really liked the game after two or three hours. Sometimes, the game would rot in the game library if they hesitated and didn't refund the game when the refund time was up.
However, there was no pressure to try out the game for free. The players could play for as long as they wanted, but the content of the game was strictly limited, giving them enough time to decide if they wanted to buy the game or not.
This free strategy caught many players off guard, especially those who were determined not to play the game. It was free, were they going to play it or not?
After watching the game's promotional CG, the gamers were even more conflicted.
…
As the wind blew, the trees and grass rustled. A hunter with a greatsword on his back walked into a quiet forest of ancient trees.
He was surrounded by large trees, low-hanging vines, lush grass, and the faint sounds of insects. The hunter's figure seemed very small.
He continued walking deeper into the forest.
Unknown plants, unknown birds, and unknown beasts …
This was a brand new environment, and the species here were completely different from any known species in real life.
A green bug was attached to a large claw print. The hunter carefully walked forward, collecting information on the monster.
Finally, the hunter found the prey he was tracking.
The Brute Jaw Dragon was extremely tall, and looked a bit like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. However, it had a strange crown on its head, and its body was covered in thick keratin. It looked even more difficult to deal with than a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The hunter put on a camouflage cloak and carefully approached the Brute Jaw Dragon.
Finally, the hunter found the perfect place to attack. He jumped down from the hill, grabbed the Brute Jaw Dragon's head, and stabbed it madly with his dagger!
The Brute Jaw Dragon roared angrily, and kept crashing into the surrounding tree trunks and rocks. The hunter was also knocked left and right, but he still held on tightly to the monster's body!
After a frenzied attack, the hunter took out the greatsword on his back and hit the Brute Jaw Dragon's head!
The Brute Jaw Dragon was stunned, and it fell to the ground, giving the hunter a chance to attack crazily. However, it quickly came to and chased after the hunter even more violently!
The hunter observed the surrounding environment as he ran, and he successfully lured the Brute Jaw Dragon to the male Fire Dragon's territory.
The two huge creatures collided. The male Fire Dragon spat out flames, and its two huge claws grabbed the Brute Jaw Dragon's back. It opened its mouth and bit down!
The hunter raised his hand and fired a signal flare.
The camera quickly zoomed out. At the entrance of the Ancient Forest, the three hunters grabbed the Pterodactyl and flew toward the signal flare!
The background music also became intense. Greatswords, dual blades, chopping axes, heavy crossbows … All kinds of weapons appeared one after another, especially the heavy crossbows. They were like Gatling guns that spat out fierce flames at the monster. The huge dragon was completely pressed to the ground, unable to fight back.
Finally, the mountainous Lava Dragon appeared from the ocean, and its huge body blocked the camera.
At the same time, the game title appeared on the screen: Monster Hunter.
