With 30% curiosity and 70% doubt, Chen Sha found Ocean Stronghold in the official game store, downloaded it, and registered it.
What surprised him was that the game's storage capacity was not small. It was even bigger than Bullet Hole and far exceeded Counter Strike.
However, Chen Sha did not think too much about it. After all, there were lousy games with huge storage capacity.
There was once a domestically-produced game that was so badly optimized that even the best graphics card in the market could not handle its lousy graphics. That was how the legend of Fall of the Titan was created.
Therefore, the huge storage capacity and high specs did not mean anything. The key was still the content of the game.
Soon, Chen Sha entered the game.
His first reaction was that the game looked … pretty good?
The game's graphics were much better than he had imagined!
Initially, Chen Sha thought that this was an unreliable lousy game and did not have high hopes. He only wanted to enter the game to take a look at the epic weapon that cost 888 RMB.
However, the game gave him a good first impression!
Although there was no opening cinematic, both the login interface and the UI of the game looked great. It did not lose to Bullet Hole.
Chen Sha found the store first.
The first thing he saw was the legendary epic weapon, a Rainbow Fire Qilin!
At first glance, it looked like an AK. However, the details of its appearance had been greatly modified.
The entire gun body was shining with golden light. At the same time, the gun barrel was painted with dazzling colors that spread to the main body of the gun. It looked like a colorful rainbow ripple that was very dazzling.
There was a unique golden bayonet under the gun barrel. According to the description in the store, this was the Qilin Stab.
There was a huge Qilin head at the joint of the gun barrel and the bayonet.
The Qilin opened its mouth and swallowed the gun barrel and bayonet.
The Qilin's eyes were blood-red. As the gun moved, there were red dots flashing. It made people feel like the Qilin was alive.
The Qilin's fur had the color and texture of flames. Moreover, it was waving like water.
Apart from that, the gun clip, the gun handle, and the rest of the gun had been modified to a certain extent. On the basis of retaining the AK's original appearance, it was either exaggerated in size or unique in design, leaving a deep impression on people!
Chen Sha was dumbfounded.
Isn't this too cool?
He was a veteran player of Counter Strike, and he had played Bullet Hole in depth during the beta test.
But regardless of whether it was Counter Strike or Bullet Hole, they were both replicas of real firearms to the greatest extent.
Take the AK for example. At most, the paint would be changed, but the basic shape would not change much.
He was afraid of being scolded by fans of military games.
On the other hand, Ocean Stronghold's modifications were extremely bold!
Of course, strictly speaking, this Fire Unicorn was a little too flashy.
The exaggerated design, bold modifications, and exaggerated special effects made Chen Sha instinctively uncomfortable at first sight.
This was because Chen Sha had been playing FPS games for so many years. He was already used to the look of an AK. It was normal for him to feel uncomfortable when the style suddenly changed from realistic to fantasy.
But he had to admit that this weapon was very cool!
And the more I look at him, the more handsome he looks!
Chen Sha stared at the special effects on the Red Kilin for a long time. The fiery-red fur on the Red Kilin's head would flutter like flame veins. It even had a breathing effect. Coupled with the colorful paint on the body of the gun …
Once he accepted this setting, why did it feel unexpectedly good?
Then, he looked at the price.
It was a genuine 888 yuan per gun!
Chen Sha could not help but sigh. Awesome!
The designer was really awesome to set the price of a single weapon at such a high price! He was too daring!
Under normal circumstances, the price of in-game purchases would increase step by step to test the bottom line of the players.
Take Qute Three Kingdoms for example. At the beginning, the paywalls of the game were not high. Later on, many players reached the upper limit. Qute Three Kingdoms then added some new purchase options, gradually pushing the aristocrat system and the paywalls of the game higher.
A game like Ocean Stronghold that was priced at 888 yuan right off the bat was way too rare!
Chen Sha looked through the shop again and suddenly realized a problem.
There was no bookmark or product section in the shop!
That was because this was the only item sold in the entire shop!
This was also the only purchase option in Ocean Stronghold.
In other words, apart from the Red Kilin that cost 888 yuan, Ocean Stronghold did not sell anything else!
Of course, there were other firearms in the game that could be found in the Armory function.
Their specific attributes and ways to obtain them would be labeled here.
There were many ways to obtain them. Some could be unlocked by completing story mode, some could be unlocked by completing certain achievements, and some could be purchased with tokens in the game.
Tokens in the game could be obtained through daily activities and battles. Although it was not unlimited and could not be obtained in large amounts, it was not difficult to obtain either.
Chen Sha was shocked to discover that apart from the Red Kilin, none of the weapons in the huge armory could be obtained by topping up!
Chen Sha scratched the back of his head. He could not understand the game's charging system at all.
Was the Red Kilin that good? 888 yuan?
He took a closer look at the description of the Red Kilin.
The firearms in the game were separated into four grades: Normal, Elite, Hero, and Epic.
Compared to Hero weapons that were one grade lower, Epic weapons only had slightly higher attributes.
If one did not look closely, Chen Sha would not even notice the difference in attributes between the Epic Red Kilin and the Hero AK.
It was the same for other grades. Every grade of the same weapon would have a slight increase in attributes, but it was not obvious.
Other than that, Epic weapons had some special effects.
The player's experience gain would increase by 200%. (Experience affects the player's level, but the level is not that useful. However, the player would receive some game coins every time he leveled up. Also, the level might be a restriction for certain functions.)
The experience gain of players in the same room would increase by 50%.
The game coins gain of players in the same room would increase by 30%.
The player's weapon would be a normal AK upon death. However, if the player threw away the weapon, the weapon would still be the Red Kilin.
The Red Kilin's clip changing and gun switching speed would be faster. The clip's capacity would also be larger.
Other than that, there was nothing else!
There was indeed a slight advantage, but it was not obvious. It was far from being able to beat the opponent.
This was an FPS game. A normal AK would kill in one shot. The Red Kilin would also kill in one shot. There was no difference!
The Red Kilin's clip changing and gun switching speed was indeed faster. However, it was only a few milliseconds faster.
Perhaps, the Red Kilin's damage would be slightly higher than a normal AK when it was shooting through walls or at the feet.
From Chen Sha's point of view, the Red Kilin did have a slight advantage over other weapons in terms of attributes. However, such an advantage was not worth spending 888 yuan on, right?
Chen Sha did not know how to define this game anymore.
Do you think it has a conscience? Selling this weapon for 888 RMB, no matter what, it didn't have anything to do with conscience.
Do you think it's a scam? Apart from the Red Kilin, this game was a completely free game. Moreover, spending 888 yuan on the Red Kilin did not result in any actual numerical superiority.
