Chapter 1258: The Heart of the Game: Links
Chen Xu is not the only one who has such a feeling.
Many players who have experienced Death Stranding have this feeling.
In the early stage, it feels like a simple game of sending couriers to see the scenery and see the plot.
It's very boring.
Even the first fight against BT was the same.
It's so easy, it's so easy.
It can be said that the feeling that the whole game begins to give players can only be described as monotonous.
Let players even have the feeling that this is just a courier simulation game in the skin of a triple-A blockbuster.
But when they have a motorcycle vehicle, they can build roads in the central area.
The whole game feels completely different.
In the express journey, I encountered various difficulties and obstacles.
Terrain, Time Rain, BT, Mir people, after the delivery of the goods, it looks like it is just a five-star praise given by NPC.
This didn't generate much positive feedback on the game's content.
The feeling of the whole game is still very boring.
What makes Chen Xu feel different is that during this journey, he can clearly feel that there is an invisible shackle that links him to other players.
In each leg of the journey that the player conquers, various tools, logos, and so on will be used for various reasons.
These items will remain in place and will randomly appear in the world of one or more other players, who may have taken the same route as you while doing the same quest as you.
And the tools and logos that you left intentionally or unintentionally happen to help them, and after they use your tools, the system will also remind you that so-and-so player has used your tools and give you a thumbs up.
As a result, even though he didn't see any other players in Chen Xu's game, he still felt that there was an invisible chain linking them to each other.
And this also gave Chen Xu a completely different understanding of this game.
This is something unlike any previous game, and it's all special.
In the past, this kind of interaction was basically face-to-face.
And in "Death Stranding", the two sides can't meet, and there is no way to even have a direct exchange.
It's like the message left in Dark Souls and Bloodborne.
There is no direct communication, just a residual weak connection.
But it's a really amazing feeling.
Especially when Chen Xu personally experienced one of the tasks in the third chapter.
………………
Manipulating Sam, Chen Xu added the weaponsmith, the Meteorological Research Institute, the Time Rain Farm and other places one after another to the Cairo network.
And this also brought Sam a lot of items that were more conducive to completing the order.
And through the residents of this area, we gradually learned about the story behind the Fragir Express.
During this time, the player needs to carry out a mission.
The player needs to transport a living person to another location.
However, Chen Xu had some surprises, that is, this character actually had some similarities with Jing Jing in "Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain".
The goal of the mission is to send the woman to meet her boyfriend.
And this kind of thing is quite difficult in "Death Stranding".
When there is a living person on the back, basically the player will not be able to carry other goods, and it is easy to lose balance, so it is necessary to concentrate to maintain balance.
And in this part of the mission, Sam in the game still doesn't carry a vehicle, so don't think about being able to ride his beloved motorcycle to give it away.
Players can only rely on their own feet to carry out the difficult task of giving away.
And on the way to send people, there is also the existence of BT.
In addition, the journey itself is quite complicated.
Players can say that the mood is very irritable when transporting.
Dodge BT along the way, as well as sections of environmental tar.
There is no longer the convenient motorcycle before, and there is no wonderful scenery of green waters and green mountains on the way to transportation.
Some are just stones and sand, and the whole environment is extremely harsh.
Fortunately, Chen Xu controlled Sam and came to a section of the hill.
That's where the Cairo network is connected.
There are also ladders and ropes left behind by other players along the way.
Relying on the props left by other players, Chen Xu slowly climbed up the rock with people on his back.
At the time of delivery, the BGM in the game also sounded.
Just like Chen Xu's irritable mood.
give up。
Abandon!
Just like BGM's name, Chen Xu thought more than once on the way forward why he couldn't give her up and throw her away?
But when he came to the top of the reverse slope and saw the situation in front of him, Chen Xu's heart was touched.
The land in the game is full of various fist symbols.
It's all encouraging Chen Xu, encouraging every player who comes here, don't give up!
At this moment, Chen Xu felt the power that belonged to the link.
It's a very special feeling.
Of course, with the help of these signs, Chen Xu accidentally found that he could also soak in hot springs, which was another unique mood.
Sam, the legendary great courier.
After running such a long mountain road, what's wrong with soaking in the hot springs with my sister, what's wrong!
Of course, it is limited to everyone soaking in the hot springs and singing to each other.
Even though it was in a pool, there was absolutely nothing else strange to do.
In the end, Chen Xu sent it to her boyfriend intact.
However, this part of the journey also brought Chen Xu a completely different feeling.
It's just a giveaway!
That's what he's supposed to do as a great courier!
Don't talk about one girl, ten more!
………………
And after completing this part of the task, which can be said to be a little warm and a little relaxed, Chen Xu soon felt that the rhythm of the whole game was speeding up.
In a later order, the former villain, Higgs, disguised the nukes as cargo for Sam to deliver to Fragir, in an attempt to raze the southern Junction and kill Sam.
And in the process, Sam also senses that something is wrong.
He approached Fragir, and after confirming it, they saw through Higgs's ruse.
Fortunately, Sam was able to throw the bomb into the crater lake before it detonated, avoiding a disaster.
It is precisely because of this catastrophe that he may empathize with Sam's inquiry.
Fragir also opened his mouth to reveal his past feud with Higgs.
At the same time, it also made Chen Xu, as well as all the players who experienced "Death Stranding", have a new understanding of this woman.
