Chapter 766: Easter Egg: A Gift from Traveler Bao Xu
It's really happy to be a veteran player of Tengda, and other game companies are basically ignoring old players, and the old game won't be updated at all, just waiting for the end of its life.
On the other hand, Tengda, no matter how old the game is, will not give up at all, as long as the old players keep sticking, they can always wait for new content!
It's outrageous.
However, in addition to sighing, Qiao Liang couldn't help but be a little curious, because it had been clearly written in the update announcements of these two games, and there were some easter eggs here.
"It's okay, I just haven't had anything to do lately, so I can play it in the afternoon and see what is new in the DLC of these games."
Qiao Liang packed up the tableware for the fish takeaway and put it at the door, waiting for the takeaway brother to come and collect it uniformly, and then turned on the computer to buy the DLC of the two games, ready to play in the afternoon.
"The "Lonely Desert Highway" DLC actually sells for 5 yuan, which is 5 times more expensive than the main body? Magical. ”
Qiao Liang immediately purchased the DLC of the two games and began to download the game resources of the DLC.
First of all, I took a look at the DLC of "Lonely Desert Highway", which sells for 5 yuan.
The main content of this update should be the networking mode and various random scenes, and the amount of art resources and gameplay content is much more than the original game itself, so the price of DLC has also been increased.
In the network mode, you can drive black with your friends and play "Not Lonely Desert Team", but Qiao Liang is not optimistic about this gameplay, because he really doesn't want to drive for eight hours now, not to mention that he doesn't think he can find a friend who is willing to drive for eight hours with him.
However, the official should also take this into account, so some additional changes have been added: it can randomly match netizens to solve the problem of no one driving together; Voice chat can solve the problem of boredom on the road; The vehicle can break down and wait for the netizens to rescue it, which solves the problem of having to start over once it fails, which makes players too frustrated.
"That's actually a pretty good change." Qiao Liang nodded slightly, approving the official change.
On the surface, these changes seem to be contrary to the original intention of the game "Lonely Desert Road", after all, this game is a game designed to abuse players, and one of the important reasons why it is popular is that you can't make a mistake in eight hours of driving, otherwise you have to start all over again, which stimulates the abuse and curiosity of players.
If it weren't for this demanding condition, this humble game would not have been able to stand out, and it would have become popular because of a video of Qiao Liang.
But until now, it is no longer necessary to maintain such difficulty.
Because "Lonely Desert Road" has become an old antique game, players who are willing to buy it have already bought it, and it is impossible to expect new players to want to be abused and fall into the pit.
In this case, it is better to change the original harsh gameplay and find some other fun for the old players.
For some new players, if you want to be abused, don't turn on the online mode, and the standalone mode is still as difficult as before; If you feel that you can't hold on, you can open the network mode with other players, and you can take a ride if you break down, which is a lot more friendly.
Although Qiao Liang was very resistant to running again, he still pulled a few people from the fan base and opened the "Lonely Desert Highway" networking mode together.
Because he wanted to see the easter egg of this so-called "Traveler Bao Xu".
Not to mention, there are really people in the fan base who are willing to drive together, and soon the line is full. There are a total of eight people, each of whom has chosen a different vehicle skin to form a convoy, and they line up in a long line on the lonely desert road, sometimes in an S-shape...... Sorry no, because there is only one way.
While gagging, follow the established route.
It's just that the more you drive in the process, the fewer cars there are.
Because once you lose concentration, the car will be planted in the desert and break down, and you can only take the latter car and "revive" after an hour. At first, it was eight cars, and when you drove it, it became seven, and then it became six......
Some people make mistakes when driving because they don't pay attention, while some people deliberately drive into the desert and wait to catch someone else's car simply because they are too lazy to drive.
Of course, different cars can carry different passengers, and in the most extreme cases, there may be no place for the convoy, so you can only wait for the car behind you to pass by before you can take a ride.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and suddenly they felt that the game didn't seem so masochistic.
After opening for a while, the DLC "Mirage" appeared.
There are still deserts on both sides, but you can see different landscapes in the desert, there are European cities, there are desert pyramids, there are oases, there are tropical rainforests, etc......
Qiao Liang now knows where the 5 yuan is expensive, and it is all expensive in these scenes.
After driving for a while, a tanned man with a travel bag appeared on the road, and he was standing on the side of the road, and there was no broken down vehicle next to him, indicating that he was not a player.
Qiao Liang's eyes lit up: "That should be the traveler Bao Xu, pick him up quickly, there should be easter eggs!" ”
After "Bao Xu" got on the bus, he said a few polite words to everyone and thanked them for their willingness to let him hitchhike.
And then every time he saw a new mirage, Bao Xu would have a few lines, and there were some vicissitudes in his tone.
"This is Honduras, I once came here by boat, and I encountered storms and waves, and my ship seemed to be thrown into the sky and into the abyss, no wonder Columbus called this place the 'bottomless abyss', it is an impressive memory......"
"This is Namibia, with a vast desert on one side, a vast sea on the other, and a wind-blown and sand-eroded cave landscape in front of it that looks like the surface of the moon......"
"This is the Dominican ......"
Every time he passes by a mirage attraction, the "Bao Xu" in the car will express his emotion, recalling his journey in this place or thrilling or memorable.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, you can still be a tour guide in this game." ”
"Traveler Bao Xu" was originally a hero in GOG, and many players know the story of this employee's travel, but they don't know the details behind it.
Qiao Liang, as Mr. Pei's best friend, of course knows it.
In fact, Bao Xu himself has only been to some of these places, after all, there are too many scenic spots in this world, and Wang Xiaobin only decided these scenes according to the ready-made resources that can be found on the Internet when making DLC.
Obviously, the makers treated "Traveler Bao Xu" as a meme, and in the setting, he is a magical adventurer who has traveled to every corner of the world.
Of course, everyone thinks that Bao Xu has this potential, after all, he is still so young, and if he travels for an average of one month every six months, it is indeed only a matter of time before he travels all over the world.
After driving for about 2 hours, Bao Xu said: "Okay, I'll get off here, thank you for letting me ride, I have prepared a gift for you, I hope to see you again." ”
Qiao Liang: "Huh? This should be the easter egg left! ”
The system prompted that a new vehicle skin had been obtained and a new scene had been unlocked, and Qiao Liang hurriedly quit the game to check.
Qiao Liang found himself getting a new vehicle skin, a miniature sci-fi spaceship, about the size of a sports car, except with a pair of smaller spaceship wings, no wheels, suspended in the air.
Qiao Liang opened the scene page again, and there are various scenes that players have activated in the game.
One of the new scenes is on the surface of the dark red planet covered in gravel, surrounded by craters of all sizes, an alien scene from a science fiction movie.
There seemed to be some huge caverns in the distance, and the entrance to the cave was pitch black, as if some terrifying creature was about to move.
"Hey, this is an easter egg buried in the game? Does this mean that Mr. Pei's next game is a sci-fi theme? ”
"Not to mention, this spaceship and scene are quite compatible with "Lonely Desert Highway"."
Qiao Liang took a closer look at the spaceship and the new scene, and found that there seemed to be no more information in it, and it seemed to just convey a message that Tengda's next new game should be a sci-fi theme.
As for what exactly the game genre is, it's not clear.
"Okay, okay, now that you've got the skins and scenes, it's time to watch the DLC for Game Producer."
Qiao Liang gave an order, and everyone immediately dispersed.
"Mr. Pei is a good chicken thief, knowing that "Lonely Desert Highway" sells cheaply and has many old players, so he deliberately reduced the difficulty of the game, and also added cool new cars and new scenes, as long as players who are slightly more interested will spend five yuan to buy it to match netizens to play, see the new scenes, and promote the new game by the way......"
Qiao Liang sighed while opening "Game Producer".
