Chapter 483: Chapter 466: Quality Explosion!
Friday evening.
As for the real-time online number of players, āSpeed Chaseā and āParadiseā undoubtedly dominate.
However, in the player circle, the discussion around Flying Foxās āThe Last Momentā has become the center of the topic.
Reflected on live streaming platforms, Flying Foxās āThe Last Momentā has successfully occupied a significant share.
Whether itās because of nostalgia or trying something new, many streamers who have the conditions to play VR games have chosen to broadcast āThe Last Moment.ā
Of course, most of the streamers have adopted the ālaunch Mirage console, log into the virtual world, and play VR games in personal login spaceā as a live broadcasting method.
On Flying Foxās side, Lance could even see through the backend that over 98% of their players were playing āThe Last Momentā via Mirage.
This made Lance, who was previously excited about the increase in sales, couldnāt help but sigh with a wry smile.
At the same time, it completely solidified his own judgment: the hardware moat no longer exists, the userbase has completely jumped over the wall, and āThe Last Momentā is the final glory.
Itās time to start anew and thrive in the desperate situation!
Players donāt have such complicated emotions. Those who have the conditions play by themselves, and those who donāt watch streamers play. They are all driven by the game to return to the end of the war, to the distant strait.
āWhen will this end?!ā
āItās almost over. This war has been going on for too long. Not only are we tired, but they are too. Everyone is tired.ā
āBang! Bang! Bang!ā
āBoom!ā
āRapid gunfireā¦ā
āSharpie! Go! Get out of here! The Fourth Brigade canāt all die here!!ā
āOld Fei, your letter.ā
āSigh, missiles can be electronically navigated, but we still rely on postmen to deliver mail.ā
āThereās no choice. This hellish place has been bombed over and over again. Every month, it gets bombed a few rounds. If you donāt bomb, they do, and in the end, no one can avoid joining the fray. All facilities have been bombed clean! Not to mention, all the messy electromagnetic interference, sighā¦ā
āWell, be content. Weāre still lucky. A while ago, several brigades of the Manjiaci Allied Forces were ambushed, and it seemed like the entire army was annihilated. In the end, it was us who discovered it first, and we still donāt know exactly what happened.ā
āWhy?! Why not pursue them?! Did our brothers die in vain?!ā
āThe war ā¦ is coming to an end.ā
āBut itās not over yet! We still have time! I know their position! Even if Iām alone, I will avenge our brothers!ā
Dual storyline mode.
On one side, the protagonist is a member of the Daxia Volunteer Team: āOld Fei.ā
The other protagonist is a revenge-fueled Manjiaci soldier: āSharpie.ā
The plotline of Old Feiās side doesnāt have many combat scenes, but it showcases the extensive destruction that the war has caused to the areaā freeweÉnovÄl.coɱ
Ruins everywhere, once thriving cities turned into scorched earth, displaced people struggling to survive.
Playing as āOld Fei,ā players follow the Daxia Volunteer Team while also providing help to the suffering civilians of Manjiaci.
Protection, rescue, medical, supplies, and even education.
It comprehensively presents the unique societal state of struggling to survive under the war while striving to maintain life continuity.
Many details are meticulously portrayed, touching playersā hearts and making them realize the horrors of war and the beauty of peace.
If we say that this storyline represents the āliteraryā side of the game,
then the other line, featuring the tormented Manjiaci country soldier āSharpie,ā who has been betrayed by his comrades, is the gameās āmartialā side.
The opening scene is the ambush, followed by a thrilling escape.
Then, after being refused help and even urged to āgive up revenge,ā Sharpie embarks on a lone journey of vengeance.
After that, the game is filled with explosive combat.
Ambush, sneak attack, assassination, head-on assault, explosion, escape, going back and forthā¦
One after another, almost all of Flying Foxās resources are used to push sensory stimulation to the hardwareās limit.
The gameās pacing control is also very mature, with the two lines intertwined without any abrupt switching. The two lines are juxtaposed but never scattered.
ā Besides, itās evident that Flying Fox has taken the playersā physical strength into consideration by switching between āliteraryā and āmartialā aspects, allowing players to rest appropriately.
New novel š¬hapters are published on Ęreewebɳovel.com.
On āOld Feiāsā side, players learn little by little about the Manjiaci soldier āSharpieāsā story through interacting with local residents.
Even the final task intertwined the two threads completely: āOld Feiā received a mission to help an ally deliver a letter to the vengeful soldier.
It was a formal order from his superiors, requiring him to stop the pursuit immediately and return to the camp.
āSharpieā had already gone too far alone, and Manjiaci Country could not find him in a short time. They had to seek help from the technologically advanced and well-equipped allied forces of the ruling nation.
The mission requirement for āOld Feiā was: to find āSharpieā before the time set in the ceasefire agreement, and deliver the order letter to his hand.
Otherwise, after the agreed ceasefire time, launching another attack might cause even more severe consequences!
So, two people and two threads officially intertwined.
Players could also experience āOld Feiāsā perspective once again, retracing the path āSharpieā had walked during his revenge pursuit.
They could also encounter different characters and branch storylines to gradually understand the extent of the damage caused by the ātraitorā from another angle.
āNot only ambushing and killing comrades-in-arms but also causing countless civiliansā blood to be shed on this land.
Thanks to the convenience of the virtual world, players no longer had physical limitations when playing VR games. Everyone could play at once, and the game progressed rapidly.
Streamers were even more addicted to marathon live broadcasts.
They didnāt even need diapers!
When they wanted to eat or use the bathroom, they could simply snap their fingers or use a player-defined trigger word to remove the VR equipment and log out of the virtual world.
This was so much easier than the hassle of putting on and removing physical VR equipment when logging in or out of the game!
Unfortunately, the standard bearer of marathon live broadcasts, Yi, had sold his Flying Dragon 3rd generation VR device after completing the āBlaze 3ā DLC and had no chance to participate in this excitementā¦
At this moment, he could only watch other peopleās live streams and participate in the void.
But whether they were players playing the game or watching the live stream, they increasingly felt that this was a āmasterpieceā!
Even if it couldnāt be called flawless, it was close!
On the RANK-Popular Game Rating, the proportion of full marks for āThe Last Momentā was surprisingly high.
Lincoln, who stayed up playing games, felt the same way as the players.
His premonition when he first saw the trailer had been completely verified ā as long as they didnāt go unfinished like NetDragonās initial project.
When Lincoln finally caught up with āSharpieā in the game, it was already late at night and only one hour remained before the agreed ceasefire time.
Lincoln controlled Old Fei, holding the order for Sharpie in his hand. As long as he delivered it, Sharpie would have to choose between obeying orders and defying them for revenge.
However, Flying Fox gave players another choice here: cooperate with Sharpie, break into enemy lines, and end the battle before the ceasefire!
Without a doubt, this option doubled the difficulty.
But Lincoln didnāt hesitate at all and immediately started the final battle ā just like numerous players who reached this point.
After a tough battle and countless reloads, Lincoln, controlling Old Fei, finally helped Sharpie complete his revenge.
But success left them trapped in the enemyās clutches.
The ending was a violent explosion.
Sharpie sacrificed himself to open a path for Old Fei to break out of the enemy camp.
But breaking out of the enemy camp did not mean they were safe ā the enemies were already in pursuit, followed by a difficult escape sequence.
In the very end, the player was completely surrounded by enemies, with no escape possible.
Lincoln sighed, āSighā¦ Receiving a letter from home at the beginning, promising to return after the warā¦ these are all dead flags!ā
Lincoln was about to reload when, unexpectedly, all the enemies suddenly stopped attacking at one moment.
Under the moonlight, a worn-out officer stepped forward and told him-
āGo home, the war is over.ā
The ceasefire had arrived.
The war was over.
The game also ended.
Lincoln logged out of the game, and it was already morning on the next day.
He opened the RANK-Popoular Game Rating, and without hesitation, he gave it a perfect score.
The quality of this game was off the charts!!
It even made Lincoln involuntarily think of āCity of Light,ā the silent film that Charlie Chaplin made during the death of silent films, which elevated him to the status of a legend.
In Lincolnās opinion, Flying Foxās āThe Last Momentā was simply the āCity of Lightā in the field of VR games.
A nearly perfect VR game born in an era when VR games were already dying.
How impressive! And howā¦ unfortunate!
