After the opening cinematics, it was time for the official plot.
After playing the game for a while, Qiao Liang immediately realized that his understanding of the game was slightly off.
Ghost General 2 was created according to the flow of an action game.
Be it the plot, character modeling, map design, game mechanics … all the details were similar to action games like Repent and be Saved.
The only difference was that this was a fighting game with a fighting game's perspective and combat system.
Many action games began with combat system teaching in the game. Now, they were teaching players how to move, jump, move, and so on.
However, it was different from action games like Repent and be Saved. In some cases, it was invincible.
For example, in the process of crossing the map, there would often be a large number of small soldiers coming from all directions. At that time, players could control the general and activate Mowing Mode. With one slash, a large number of small soldiers would be cut down like chives. It was extremely satisfying.
Even when the general dodged to the side, it would release a fan-shaped attack skill at the same time. It would directly hit the small soldiers on the side, knocking them all over the place as if there was no one there!
This dodging was done by double-clicking on the up or down button. In other words, it would move inside or outside the screen. After double-clicking and holding the button, it would continue to move. This was obviously based on the settings of some of the latest fighting games. At the same time, certain changes were made according to Ghost General 2's characteristics and requirements.
When the player pressed the right button to move forward, the general would always be heading towards the next key point. It could be an enemy general, a special map mechanism, or a mission target.
This was equivalent to adding a new dimension to the traditional fighting game. The entire battlefield turned from a two-dimensional to a three-dimensional one.
Needless to say, after playing so many high-difficulty action-type games, the Lawnmower game was quite fun to play!
What's more, due to the special map design of the checkpoints, players could experience the contents of the two-dimensional horizontal version of the game. They could also experience the contents of the three-dimensional action games. It was a different experience when playing.
When it came to the Boss battle stage, one could no longer mend.
Players had two ways to clear the stage. The first was to fight the Boss head-on. The second was to find the special map mechanism in the battlefield to strengthen their own general or weaken the enemy's general. In short, relying on skills was one way, and relying on wisdom was another way.
The difficulty of the game could be said to be relatively moderate. For people like Qiao Liang who had not played action-type games before, as long as they found the right map for the boss battle, they would be able to clear the game even if they died a few times.
For some fighting game gurus, if they wanted to pursue a more difficult challenge, they could try the standard method of fighting a boss head-on, just like in Cai Hong's promotional video.
Moreover, this suggested combo mode wasn't extremely simplified. It wasn't like pressing A crazily and the System would automatically help him with combo moves. Instead, he still needed to perform some simple combo movements. Pressing A mindlessly was still not enough.
Apart from that, there were two other points that were worthy of praise: the General's skills and the game's background story!
Although Ghost General 1 had a certain level of performance in these two aspects, it was relatively weak. After all, it was a card game.
Generals only had one skill, and the stages and plots in the game were very simple as well. In fact, they could be completed in one sentence.
However, in Ghost General 2, every general had more than ten different skills. For example, apart from the regular light and heavy attacks, Zhuge Liang also had different skills such as Borrowing the East Wind, Kongming Lantern, Wooden Ox, and Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. All of these skills were perfectly integrated with his character's settings!
In terms of the plot, the stages of Ghost General 2 were all adapted from familiar historical stories and romance stories. They were very well integrated into the historical background. For example, Kong Ming's' borrowing the east wind 'made Qiao Liang sigh in amazement. "I can't believe it can be done like this."
After completing the first stage, Qiao Liang was satisfied and prepared to take a break. Then, he looked at the bullet screen comments.
He was surprised to find that the popularity of the bullet screen comments had decreased.
When the livestream first started, there were many people in the livestream room. The bullet screen comments were very dense as well. All of them were mocking the dove spirit for the livestream and saying that all the bamboo shoots on the mountain had been taken.
However, after Qiao Liang played the game for a while, the number of people in the livestream room had shrunk.
What's more, the content of the bullet screen comments was a little strange. Only half of the people were talking about Ghost General 2. There were also some … infuriating bullet screen comments.
Obviously, many of the audience had not caught up with the wave of bamboo shoots snatching at the beginning of the livestream. They had just arrived.
They were late, but not too late. There were still bamboo shoots, and they could continue to snatch them.
"Woah, why is Old Qiao suddenly so hardworking today? Is he starting to play games and collect materials? "
"Of course! He must be feeling the pressure. He went on a bitter trip for two months. In the end, Tengda released two games in a row, and Old Qiao did not get to play any of them. This is like cutting a piece of meat for Old Qiao. The dove spirit is feeling the pain. Of course, he has to work overtime! "
"If Old Qiao doesn't work hard, he will be surpassed by Young Master Tian! Look at the video that Young Master Tian made for Real Estate Agent Simulator. It's so good! It's incisive and in-depth. Not only is the content of the game good, but it also analyzes the pros and cons of the industry in reality! Coupled with AEEIS's voice and excellent video editing skills, it's amazing! "
"I'm sorry, Old Qiao. I'm Young Master Tian's man now. I can't go back!"
"Hurry up and release the video, Old Qiao. Otherwise, the title of Tengda's UP Master might change hands."
Qiao Liang was infuriated to see these people's comments.
You fans are simply too sarcastic. Are you coming wave after wave?
What's more, the angle of snatching the bamboo shoots is different every time?
It's the same rubbing salt on the wound. The first wave sprinkles edible salt, and the second wave sprinkles sea salt, right?
Not only is it extremely damaging, but it's also extremely insulting!
Yet, what can I do? These are all the fathers of the fans. They are the ones who feed and clothe. Even if they are wrong, it is their son's fault. They can only bear with it.
Qiao Liang explained patiently. "Look, look. Isn't this narrow-minded?
"As an outstanding UP Master and Tengda's puzzle-solver, I, Qiao Liang, will never be as narrow-minded as you.
"Outstanding UP Masters are constantly emerging, and there are more and more good videos. Even if they are discussing the same thing, there will definitely be different angles. It's obviously a good thing for the audience to be able to understand the problem more comprehensively! "
"Everyone is relying on their true abilities and healthy competition. Whoever produces better content will be able to gain more fans."
"I might have been lucky enough to leave early and achieved some insignificant results, but I can't lie on the credit roll and not get up, can I? You want to use this to sow discord between me and the other UP Masters? That's wishful thinking! I, Old Qiao, am not that kind of person! "
The fans in the live-stream were moved by his righteous stance.
However, Qiao Liang might say that he did not mind, but he was actually very resentful towards Meng Chang.
I asked you to imitate, but I didn't ask you to surpass!
Qiao Liang knew that Young Master Tian was Meng Chang. It was even Qiao Liang's idea to use AEEIS's voice to make videos.
At that time, it was because of the Morning Dew Game Platform. Qiao Liang's video was not done well, so he gave the chance to interpret it to Meng Chang.
Qiao Liang had thought that Meng Chang had a serious job. He would only occasionally make videos to explain Tengda's industries. He would not be a threat to him at all.
Now, he realized that he was wrong.
Meng Chang released videos as he worked. In the end, his output was no less than his …
This time, Qiao Liang was forced to go on a tough trip. Young Master Tian had no opponents and was killing everyone online!
The video explaining Real Estate Agent Simulator had been on the front page of Aili Island's website for a few days. It had also reached the top three on the rankings and was extremely popular.
What was even more infuriating was that Qiao Liang had forwarded it to Young Master Tian previously. Many fans had looked for him along the way.
Qiao Liang's own video update speed was too slow. Everyone could not find new videos, so they could only watch Young Master Tian's video. Objectively speaking, they had completed a perfect diversion.
All in all, Qiao Liang was extremely angry even though he said 'I'm actually fine'.
Who would have thought that Meng Chang would have so much time to make videos while working seriously? He did very well and posed a threat to him!
However, there was nothing he could do. Meng Chang was Boss Pei's man after all. It was useless to be angry.
He could only spur himself on, release more videos, and snatch back the attention.
Qiao Liang basically understood why the live-stream's popularity had dropped after looking at the bullet screen comments discussing Ghost General 2.
That was because the theme of fighting games naturally had a dissuading effect on players.
Many people came in to chat for a while when they saw that Qiao Liang was live-streaming. Then, they left when they saw that he was playing fighting games.
It was not because they were targeting Ghost General 2. It was purely because they were not interested in fighting games!
What's more, everyone had seen the actual combat video of Ghost General 2 previously. It was obvious that it was a suffering game since so much HP was lost after being touched.
It was one thing for action-type games to suffer, but fighting games to suffer? Many people were no longer interested.
It was no wonder that Tengda had invested so many publicity resources into Ghost General 2. In the end, it only made players familiar with it. It did not have a good publicity effect at all.
"I've realized that these people have a huge misunderstanding about Ghost General 2!"
"This game is not like what they think it is."
"Actually, this game can be made into an action-type game like Repent and be Saved. Wouldn't action games be so profitable?"
"However, Boss Pei still insisted on making it a fighting game. Why?"
"Obviously, there's a deeper meaning here that most players do not understand."
"Heh, but it doesn't matter because I, Teacher Qiao, am back!"
"Boss Pei released two games while I was suffering and traveling. Neither of them had anything to do with me. However, the moment I came out, it was just in time for the release of Ghost General 2! Is this a coincidence or a hint? "
"I don't care. In any case, I'm definitely going to release the video this time. I can't let Young Master Tian have it again!"
Qiao Liang suddenly felt full of motivation!
