Lin Xue looked around curiously as she entered the Ancient Tree Forest.
The sky was blue with white clouds floating in the sky. The lush trees swayed in the breeze, and the sunlight shone through the gaps between the trees, leaving large shadows.
Apart from the sound of the wind, there were also the sounds of insects and birds. Everything was quiet and peaceful.
"Wow, the scenery is great!" Lin Xue walked around while curiously looking at everything around her.
This opening was completely different from Dark Souls. There was no danger, and the environment was not scary at all. Instead, it felt like nature was in harmony.
Next was a simple system guide that included looking at the map, searching for resources with the bug guide, cutting the Dew Recovery Grass to recover HP, hiding in the bushes, climbing vines, searching for ancient footprints, and so on.
During this process, Lin Xue followed the investigator deeper into the Ancient Tree Forest, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the entire forest.
"Why doesn't this game let me fight? It's so boring!" Lin Xue complained.
Lin Xue was prepared to be tortured, but it didn't work at all!
For example, Dark Souls was very straightforward. The opening was a very short CG, and the players started to suffer right away. However, the first ten minutes of Monster Hunter didn't require any fighting at all, it was just a show.
The first time was when they encountered a group of small Ferocious Drakes on the road, but these Ferocious Drakes were obviously very low in intelligence. Lin Xue and the investigator hid in the bushes, and the Ferocious Drakes ran away. The second time was when they encountered a large Ferocious Drake at the entrance of the investigation base. In the end, they only watched as the Ferocious Drake was chased away by the investigation team leader who came to support them.
Lin Xue was a little disappointed. She originally wanted to play this game to suffer, oh no, show off her skills, but she ended up watching a show for ten minutes. That was very embarrassing.
However, the opening was not bad. The seamless transition from Oasis to Monster Hunter was like taking a boat to a new world. The teaching content was well interspersed with the opening plot, including the basic controls and game mechanics. Of course, the most important thing was that it showed the players the whole world of Monster Hunter in a shocking way.
Plants, animals, insects, special herbs … Everything in the forest was fictional, but it was very real. It was like a new continent that had never been explored, and every inch of the land was enough to make the players forget to leave.
Lin Xue felt that her eyes were not enough for her to use when she arrived at the Stellar Investigation Base. She felt like she was going to get lost.
The so-called investigation base was actually the main city, but this main city was also filled with the flavor of "Monster Hunter".
The main building materials of the entire hunter settlement were wood, iron chains, and monster skeletons or sharp teeth. Many ships were simply used as part of the investigation settlement. This made the investigation settlement filled with a barbaric atmosphere, but it was very compatible with the characteristics of the hunters.
At the dock, the hunters and investigators were unloading the goods from the ships and sending them to various places in the investigation base.
At this time, Lin Xue was in the "circulation area", which could also be seen as the business area of the entire hunter settlement. Here, there were hunters conducting investigations, scholars conducting research, and technicians supporting them from the back.
The Zoology Research Institute, Botany Research Institute, Maritime Commerce Institute, Command Center … all of them had their own characteristics.
For example, the Botany Research Institute was planted with all kinds of plants from the new continent. Even the ceiling was covered with all kinds of vines, and there was a small pond at the bottom where aquatic plants were cultivated. The scholars were immersed in observing and recording the data of these plants.
After meeting with the commander-in-chief of the investigation team, Lin Xue followed the leader of the investigation team and began to wander around the investigation base.
The investigation base was still divided into many levels. The lowest level was the business area, and further up was the workshop for forging weapons and armor, the dining area, and the hunter's residence …
"There are so many places … I can't remember them all!"
Lin Xue was dumbfounded. If it wasn't for the leader of the investigation team leading the way, she would have gotten lost.
Unlike Dark Souls, the town in Monster Hunter was bustling and full of life. What Lin Xue especially liked was the dining area, which used cats to cook!
That's right, it was the cats that walked upright on the ship. Previously, Lin Xue thought that these cats were just the hunters' pets, but now it seemed that they were more like the hunters' companions, and played an important role in all aspects.
After the combat meeting, the leader of the investigation team assigned Lin Xue a task to choose a suitable weapon and start hunting.
There were 14 basic weapons in the hunter's cabin, and Lin Xue was dazzled by the choices.
There were no classes in Monster Hunter. Players could choose any one of the 14 weapons as their weapon, and they could change it at any time. As for the skill system, it was tied to the weapon, just like in Dark Souls.
In other words, choosing a weapon was equivalent to choosing a class. The 14 weapons with different characteristics would directly determine the player's combat style in the future.
"Wow, it's just like the trailer. There are so many weapons!"
"There's an explanation video and introduction of the weapons? That's pretty thoughtful. Let's take a look … "
Fifteen minutes later.
Lin Xue was completely confused, and she had no idea what to choose.
Monster Hunter's combat system seemed similar to Dark Souls, but it was actually completely different.
There were very few weapon skills in Dark Souls. Most of the time, players would use normal attacks, and only occasionally would they use combat skills. However, Monster Hunter had all kinds of combo skills, combo skills, long-range weapons, and different types of ammunition. For newbies, the learning cost was still very high.
Lin Xue had a headache. She kept going back and forth, but she couldn't make up her mind.
"The greatsword looks so cool. It's even more domineering than the greatsword in Dark Souls. I want to play with it!"
"The dual swords look very flexible, and they say it's suitable for newbies?"
"Wow, the crossbow's effect is like a Gatling gun. It's like an FPS game!"
Lin Xue hesitated for a long time before she finally made up her mind. "Tachi, it's you!"
A bunch of question marks floated across the bullet screen.
You talked about the greatsword being domineering, the dual swords being flexible, and the crossbow being cool. What do you mean by choosing a tachi?
