After reading the gamer's post, Meng Chang fell into deep thought.
His first thought was that it was a little far-fetched, but … it made sense.
Indeed, as most players said, from the current situation, Eternal Samsara was undoubtedly a downloadable content that was worth the money.
The only drawback was that it reused a large number of scenes and monsters.
However, due to Eternal Samsara's drastic changes to the combat system, as well as the reconstruction of all the routes and details of the monsters, it depicted a story that happened many years before Repent and be Saved. Thus, it would not seem repetitive and would still give players a sense of freshness.
This price, this volume, this drastic change and innovation … As a downloadable content, this was already a perfect completion of the mission. There was really nothing more to ask for.
However, this gamer made sense. If there was something that Eternal Samsara lacked, it should be the right amount of suffering that Repent and be Saved had, as well as the shock of breaking the Fourth Wall.
For different players, the experience of Eternal Samsara was quite different.
The big shots who could adapt to the new combat system killed everything in their way. They blocked everything perfectly and killed everything along the way. It was like a game of mowing grass. On the other hand, the lousy players who could not adapt would suffer frequently and advance slowly. They could only rely on the automatic blocking mechanism of the demon sword to barely maintain their lives.
On the other hand, the pain in Repent and be Saved should be moderate, especially for the lousy players. They could experience the feeling of an ordinary person struggling in this hopeless world. However, after struggling, they would obtain hope.
On the other hand, this feeling was weakened to a certain extent for Eternal Samsara.
In addition, Repent and be Saved gave people a sense of amazement when it first appeared. Eternal Samsara had carried high expectations from the beginning. Therefore, it was naturally expected that the two would have different evaluations.
Of course, this statement made people feel that the gamers were spoiled and made unrealistic requests.
For most games, downloadable content was a continuation of the game itself. As long as a few new scenes, some new monsters, and some new plots were made to complement the game itself, that would be enough.
Looking at it from this angle, Eternal Samsara had completed the quest perfectly.
However, gamers were no longer satisfied with this. That was because the popularity and publicity from before had caused them to view Eternal Samsara as equal to Repent and be Saved 2. Their expectations of Boss Pei and Tengda Games had unknowingly increased.
What's more, everyone knew that Boss Pei was a designer who liked to break through and constantly strive for perfection.
Perhaps Boss Pei was thinking of using Eternal Fallen Samsara to make a breakthrough in Repent and be Saved.
Thinking about it this way, Eternal Fallen Samsara could indeed be said to be in a state of "white jade with slight flaws". Overall, it was good, but it was not perfect.
Meng Chang thought about it. It was really hard to refute that because it seemed to be a problem with Eternal Fallen Samsara itself.
However, he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he turned to think about something else.
The player's words gave him a new perspective.
To the current Meng Chang, if he wanted to do his job well and obtain more commissions, he had to master two abilities: one was the ability to find fault with the project, and the other was the ability to dig out the deeper meaning of the project.
He thought that he was doing well in both aspects, but now that he saw this player's post, he realized that he was still far from it.
Take Eternal Fallen Samsara for example. Meng Chang had not expected such an angle at all.
He could not help but think of his initial publicity plan. He vaguely felt that this plan was a little inappropriate.
However, what exactly was inappropriate?
He couldn't explain it clearly.
Obviously, there were parts of the publicity plan for Eternal Fallen Samsara that he could not control. This seemed to imply to a certain extent that Boss Pei did not approve of this publicity plan.
Meng Chang thought about it seriously for a long time but still had no clue.
"Forget it, let the professionals do the professional things. Let's wait for Teacher Qiao's video."
Meng Chang gave up struggling and patiently waited for Teacher Qiao's video, hoping to gain some inspiration.
Of course, he also knew that this video would not be released so soon.
Most of the main part of the video had been completed but after the update of Eternal Fallen Samsara, he had to add some more material and content.
After the ending of the game was revealed, he should have to add to the content of the video.
However, this should not affect the overall framework of the video. After all, the ending of Eternal Fallen Samsara had already been fixed by the original work: The Martial God came to his senses at the last moment, entered the Infernal Hell, and became the first Prison Warden.
Meng Chang had nothing to do while waiting, so he decided to watch the ending of the game first.
He first considered completing the ending himself. After all, there was a godly tool like the Demon Sword's automatic parry mechanism in the game.
However, he quickly gave up on that idea.
Why should I go and suffer?
He should just clear the game!
At that thought, he found a live-stream online and began to watch how the Almighty cleared the game.
…
Compared to the first two parts, the last part had a huge change in the game's plot and content.
First of all, in the plot of the Infernal Hell, the monsters would become stronger than in Repent and be Saved. What's more, the original shortcuts had all disappeared. Players had to use the Demon Sword to clear them.
In terms of plot, this was because the protagonist in Repent and be Saved had already been killed by the Martial God several times in the Infernal Hell. Therefore, the strength of the monsters had been severely weakened.
Secondly, there were the first two scenes, the small village and the town. These two scenes were skipped at the beginning of the game, but in the third part, the Martial God would return to these two places again.
Because the Martial God had slaughtered all the ghostly servants and judges, the entire Six Paths of Reincarnation almost collapsed. Therefore, the human world was also affected.
After the Martial God killed the Ten Kings of Hell and disrupted the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he returned to the human world. He wanted to reconstruct his body, but he realized that this place had become hell on earth. All sorts of powerful demons were wreaking havoc and slaughtering the citizens.
The Martial God tried his best to kill the demons, but many citizens had already died tragically under the claws of the demons. Things had become irreversible.
He realized that he had made a huge mistake. In the end, he entered the Infernal Hell and sacrificed himself to become the first Prison Warden.
However, the host also had another save file. It was a save file where the Demon Sword kept dying. Although the Martial God would also enter the Infernal Hell in this save file, he would not be able to become the Prison Warden. He could only be controlled by the Demon Sword and become a hellish evil spirit. The entire human world would become hell.
From the plot of Repent and be Saved, the ending of the Prison Warden was obviously the official ending. However, the Eternal Fall Rebirth ending echoed the game's title and reflected the tragic side of the plot.
After beating the ending, the host did not immediately enter the second round. Instead, he opened a bottle of energy drink and chatted with the bullet screen comments, sharing his thoughts and experiences.
"How does it feel to clear the game?"
"Overall, it feels very good. This combat system is much more enjoyable than Repent and be Saved."
"I feel very immersive! It's much more immersive than Repent and be Saved! "
"I read the post on the Internet. How should I put it? Most of them are nitpicking. Of course, this depends on the perspective you're looking at it from. "
"If you're a fan of Repent and be Saved and you don't want downloadable content to change Repent and be Saved's style, then this post does make some sense."
"However, from the perspective of a pure gamer, this post doesn't make sense. I've been sick of playing Repent and be Saved for a long time. What's the point of making downloadable content based on Repent and be Saved? Making a new attempt will bring about new feelings. How good would that be? "
"If you hope that Eternal Fall Rebirth can inherit or even extend the meaning of Repent and be Saved to a certain extent while creating something new … I think you're asking too much. It's a little too much."
"It's just a downloadable content, after all!"
"What's more, I prefer Eternal Fall Rebirth's combat system."
This host's opinion seemed to represent the opinion of a large number of gamers. They felt that Eternal Fall Rebirth had already completed its mission perfectly.
For a downloadable content, this was already a 100 points answer sheet. However, they insisted on making it 120 points. That was too much.
Meng Chang exited the live-stream as he pondered.
The live-stream was not short. The last one-third of the content and the two endings lasted for nearly five hours. It was already 10 PM.
According to Boss Pei's request, Eternal Fall Rebirth had actually been completely updated after adjusting the combat system to the second part of the update.
Since the entire downloadable content was complete, it was almost time to put the lid on the coffin.
In the following period of time, the discussion about Eternal Fall Rebirth would obviously reach a peak.
Meng Chang refreshed Aili Island's latest news a few more times and finally saw Teacher Qiao's updated video.
"It's finally here!"
Meng Chang was a little sleepy from the live-stream just now. However, he immediately perked up when he saw Teacher Qiao's updated video.
That was because he knew that this video might have the answer to the question that he had been puzzled about!
…
The beginning was still the familiar opening line that had not changed for ten thousand years, as well as a short paragraph of nonsense. Meng Chang simply dragged the progress bar and went straight to the main topic.
"This time, I will analyze the downloadable content of Eternal Fall Rebirth, or rather, two aspects of this game: first, the deep reason why it was updated three times; second, its content is different from Repent and be Saved, but its spiritual core is at the same level of thinking!"
"Let's not talk too much. Let's start solving the riddle this time!"
Hmm … it had already gone from interpretation and analysis to solving riddles …
However, for Boss Pei's game, it was not too much to call it 'solving riddles'.
Meng Chang originally thought that the main content of Teacher Qiao's video this time would be on interpreting the game's content. He did not expect Teacher Qiao to mention three updates.
That did not seem too good, right?
