The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 211 Rubbish game, get off my computer!!

The title "Sha Dawei" is not groundless, nor is it a slander.

Although "Nebula Assault" was only released today, it has been tested internally and promoted before.

As a well-known expert in the game circle on the appreciation of shit games and a widely recognized Cyber ​​Goujian among players, Shark Dawei has keenly smelled the smell of "shit games".

Now is the time for him to prove his vision!
Shark Dawei, whose real name is Sha Wei, complained while downloading the game: "This game is actually sold for 276 yuan!"

"Lord of War has tons of new gameplay, but it only costs 168 yuan."

“It better be worth the price!”

Friends can understand:
"How can this be compared? Lord of War was only made for a few months? This game took 1000 people eight years to make, and cost hundreds of millions of dollars. If you don't sell it at a higher price, you'll never get your money back in your lifetime."

"Don't even mention the cost. How can games on Sony's game station be cheap?"

"The explosion of Dreambuilding's production capacity and the direct reduction of costs to the ankles are actually quite outrageous."

……

The netizens made a very reasonable point, but Shark Dawei said he didn’t want to listen:
"What does it have to do with me how much money the manufacturer spent on making the game?"

"Did I make him spend so much money?"

“Just because you’re not good is not a reason to pass the cost on to the players.”

"I only care whether the game is fun or not. The rest is none of my business."

Shark Dawei has played a lot of games. When necessary, he can cite a lot of references and prove his point of view from both positive and negative perspectives. Whether he says something nice or unpleasant depends entirely on his mood.

Now, he obviously doesn't like the game Nebula Assault.

After chatting for a while, the game was finally downloaded.

Shark Dawei let out a long sigh of relief, "Finally, come on, let's have dinner!"

He started the game.

A window popped up -

[This game requires support from Sony Game Station server]

[Please bind your Sony game account before launching the game]

"?" Shark Dawei was stunned.

"Are you crazy? Didn't I buy the game on Vapour? Your game is already on PC, but you still want me to bind my console account?"

Shark Dawei was very unhappy.

But if the live broadcast is to continue, you can only register a host account on site.

After some effort and binding the account, the game was finally launched.
-
In the dark universe dotted with sparse stars, an orange-red spaceship slowly approaches the camera from afar.

Just by seeing this spaceship, Shark Dawei almost couldn't hold back.

The shape of the spacecraft is somewhat strange - the front is designed like a ram, with spikes and a protruding structure like a door panel. This door-panel-like structure of unknown meaning is rigidly embedded in the main cabin of the spacecraft, which has smooth lines but an overall square shape.

The lateral wings on both sides of the spacecraft body and the vertical tail at the end form a standard cross shape.

The camera even moved back to show the cross.

"The [Ram] that is completely unused, the [Tail] that cannot possibly land, the [Main Cabin] that is both square and streamlined..."

When the camera switched to the spaceship, Shark Dawei couldn't help but complain: "Is this spaceship a hybrid?"

The next shot is a place similar to the command module of a spacecraft.

A typical yet not-so-typical black girl walks back and forth in front of the camera.

The reason why it is called “typical” is that:

She is the kind of black girl commonly seen on the streets of the United States, with dark skin, dreadlocks, and a baseball cap worn backwards.

Atypical because...

Her face was really grotesquely ugly.

The facial features look ordinary when viewed individually, but they look out of place when put together.

There are two objects of unknown meaning on the hat, one high and one low. I don't know if they are electronic devices or just decorations.

But this time, Shark Dawei didn't have time to complain.

Because Heimei had just sat down, the hatch behind her opened, and three new characters appeared together——

A yellow gas tank robot that has become a spirit, a green scaly alien wearing a bulky yellow top, and a burly alien with horns on his chin, thorns on his back, a green body, but a red head.

"What kind of monsters are these..."

Although he had seen these characters in promotional materials, Shark Dawei still felt a strong visual impact when he saw them walking and talking in front of him.

With professionalism in mind, he continued reading.

But there is nothing new after that.

The group just staggered in front of the camera and talked to a star on the spacecraft screen, one sentence after another, endlessly.

We talked for more than three minutes before the opening CG was finally finished.

Shark Dawei breathed a long sigh of relief.

The fans were full of questions:

"What on earth were these people talking about? I don't quite understand."

"It's a lot of nonsense. It's a mess."

"Shouldn't the opening CG have some exciting scenes to introduce the world view, or just show the battle scene? What's the point of just chatting like this? "

……

This kind of opening CG with a few weirdos chatting for three minutes distracted the viewers.

Fortunately, the picture changed, and a long list of system prompts [Unlock Interstellar Map] popped up on the side of the screen.

The chapter title also emerged -
-
the first week

Season 0丨Free Soldier——
"Okay, okay, let's start fighting quickly." Shark Dawei urged.

But what no one expected was that after the chapter title appeared, the spaceship changed its background to a purple light and once again approached the camera from a distance.

"?" Shark Dawei had a bad feeling in his heart, "No way..."

The answer is yes.

The camera switches to the interior of the spacecraft again.

These ugly and weird people...

We're chatting again!

It's the same meaningless nonsense as before.

"Fuck..." Shark Dawei instantly wanted to get a refund.

During this conversation, the popularity of the live broadcast room dropped rapidly - it was too boring, and passers-by left one after another.

After another two and a half minutes of awkward chat, the film finally ended.

"Okay, okay, after all the nonsense, we can finally get into the plot, right?" Shark Dawei rubbed his face with both hands to dispel his sleepiness.

——It was already the middle of the night, and the game started with five minutes of weird and awkward chat. It was hard not to feel sleepy.

"Tell me, who shall we fight? The interstellar pirates or the United Government?" He was ready to start a killing spree.

But when the game camera turns around, a high-definition frontal bust of a black girl holding a sniper rifle appears before your eyes!

——After all, it is a groundbreaking masterpiece of Sony Game Station. The character modeling accuracy is astonishingly high, especially the static display, which is so clear and smooth.

She blinked, breathed, and shook her body, and every detail was clearly visible.

"Oh my god!" Shark Dawei leaned back suddenly.

"What the hell!"

It took him several seconds to recover from the visual shock. He tried to ignore the black girl who was very conspicuous and took up two-thirds of the screen, and studied the game's UI.

"I understand. Free soldiers are optional characters, right? Hurry up and change me a poster girl."

As soon as he said this, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said with a sigh: "Using the word "banner girl" to describe this black girl, I feel that it is a taint of the word."

"I am not prejudiced against black people. There are handsome and good-looking black people."

"Does it have to be so ugly?"

"They are so ugly that they hurt my eyes!"

He couldn't wait to click on [Free Soldier] and change his role.

Then he saw:
The gas tank has become a spirit, a cylindrical robot without any sense of design.

A woman in blue lipstick armor with only half of her face exposed.

A red-headed, shirtless alien with cerebral palsy.

A non-mainstream black lady with an afro, red sunglasses, and a bright red outfit.

A man in a suit wrapped in ugly armor.

The shoe horn has purple hair, a green face, pointy ears and a pointy chin and is an alien spirit.

An old lady with silver hair and wrinkled face.

A super fat man wearing a blue down jacket, whose gender is difficult to tell.

A mushroom-shaped head alien that causes trypophobia.

……

One freak after another made Shark Dawei's chin tremble.

The fans also suffered a strong aesthetic shock:

"Oh my god! What kind of freak all-stars are these!!"

"God-defying! The most god-defying of all!"

"I feel like my eyes have been raped! You have to compensate me!"

"What sin did I commit in my previous life that caused me to be punished like this?"

"If I am guilty, please let the law punish me and don't let me see such a horrible scene!"

……

The popularity of the live broadcast room has plummeted.

No one likes to see something so ugly!
Shark Dawei took several deep breaths before forcing himself to hold the mouse and select a character that looked barely normal.

Then he discovered that the game actually marked the gender of the characters.

The person he chose was of the following gender:

[Non-binary gender].

After a few seconds of silence, Shark Dawei uttered a dirty word:
"Grass."

But now that things have come to this, it doesn’t matter anymore.

He casually selected a competitive mode and matched in to experience the gameplay.

After just a few minutes, he found that the gameplay of this game was very familiar -

10 people are divided into two teams, red and blue, and fight - in a map. In addition to gun attacks, they can also release their own special skills...

This sense of déjà vu is too strong!

The fans also started to make noises instantly:

"Isn't this the fucking [Treasure Hunt in Dragon Palace]??!"

"I still want to remove the [Paperization], [Ultimate Move], and [Wall Breaking] mechanisms from [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt]!"

"Is this plagiarism? You don't think that removing the ultimate move and only letting the character use small skills is a gameplay innovation?!"

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! This is a brand new way of playing that 1000 people spent 8 years and 3 million dollars to create?!"

"My evaluation is: It's not even a hair better than Project Frost and Snow!"

"What 3 million dollars? They said 3 million dollars was just the initial cost, and it was far more than that later on!"

"As expected of a big company, they are indeed rich."

……

Shark Dawei couldn't hold it in any longer: "Has this game really been in the works for 8 years?"

"This is simply a reskinned copy of Project Frost!!"

"Why don't you give the 3 million dollars to Xu Meng? Xu Meng can make it for you in a month!"

The characters are so ugly that it makes people feel annoyed when they see them.

The gameplay is also very boring, not as exciting and interesting as [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt].

There are fewer and fewer viewers in the live broadcast room.

Either post a message and spread the word that "Nebula Assault plagiarized "Frost Project"", or go watch the VR version or unlimited firepower mode of "Dragon Palace Treasures".

Anyway, I don’t want to watch this boring game anymore.

In the end, Shark Dawei couldn't play anymore.

He stopped thinking about whether he had enough material to make a video and quickly uninstalled the game.

"This is a crappy game, get off my computer!!"

After uninstalling, I didn’t forget to post a message on pilipili——

"A word of advice to all players who bought Nebula Assault:
It’s not too late to refund now!!!”

　Please vote for me at the end of the month!
