Thinking of this, Zhao Yunlong imdiately pre-ordered a ’Galaxy’ peripheral set exclusive to ’Star Emperor 2’.
Deluxe edition!
Don’t ask, ask and you’ll find he’s loaded...
The ’Galaxy’ peripherals are manufactured by Mirage Electronics under Tianba Studio, specifically designed for ’Star Emperor 2’.
Zhao Yunlong didn’t know what purpose it served, but according to the promotional images, it should be similar to devices like VR glasses and racing wheels.
Coincidentally, this set is currently available for pre-order at a 20% discount, and after the ga’s release, he can also receive a free ga pack CDKEY.
How worthwhile!
Buy peripherals, get a ga, and the peripherals are on sale; since you’re going to buy the ga anyway, why not enhance the gaming experience with a peripheral set?
It’s currently the pre-order stage...
Zhao Yunlong took a glance, both the Galaxy peripheral set and the ’Star Emperor 2’ ga itself were set to be released at the end of December.
’End of December, just a few days left!’
After checking the calendar, Zhao Yunlong imdiately decided, while the ga hasn’t been released and the peripheral set hasn’t arrived, to quit his job and get a cara and microphone for streaming.
There’s still ti.
Zhao Yunlong is very decisive; since he decided to switch careers to be a gaming strear, he didn’t procrastinate and directly resigned from his current job.
Two weeks later...
With everything ready, Zhao Yunlong signed a contract with a supposedly decent streaming guild, and on the day ’Star Emperor 2’ was officially released, he started streaming on Thunderbolt.
Why Thunderbolt?
This brings us to the topic of ’Star Emperor’ players gathering on Thunderbolt, because there are slightly more viewers for streams there.
’Star Emperor 2’ is priced at 68 yuan, with no additional or bundled DLC — just the ga itself is available for purchase.
Zhao Yunlong bought the ga, downloaded, and installed it. While the ga was downloading and installing, he took a peek at the status of his live broadcast room.
Not bad!
Even though it was the first day of streaming and he was a newbie, the guild was very supportive, throwing in so costly ’zero-revenue’ gifts, which brought in a few real live viewers.
’Welco everyone to the live room. The strear is the king of ’Star Emperor’ S4 season, Immortal Emperor on the Path to Immortality, ga ID Italian Cannon. If interested, please give the strear a follow...’
Zhao Yunlong’s eloquence is genuine; he is really fluent, capturing the sparse live viewers in just a few words.
’Is the strear really a king?’
’Genuine!’
Seeing soone post a bullet comnt about his king status, Zhao Yunlong smiled and opened the ga interface of ’Star Emperor’.
S4—Immortal Road King!
The significant historical ranking record appeared on the screen, stunning the viewers.
Amazing!
Initially, they thought the strear was boasting, claiming to be an S4 ranked king. Do you know how prestigious being a king in ’Star Emperor’ truly is?
Unexpectedly, he really was one of the few casual kings, mainly playing ’Feather Venerable’, which makes him sowhat of a specialist.
’It’s a pity, ’Star Emperor 2’ seems not to have Feather Venerable, or the strear would definitely wreak havoc.’
’Not just Feather Venerable; I’ve heard that except for a few characters, the others are all gone.’
The topics discussed in the bullet comnts were sowhat familiar to Zhao Yunlong.
’Star Emperor 2’, although the official sequel to ’Star Emperor’, according to the official information released by Tianba Studio, evidently doesn’t inherit characters from the first ga.
Except for a few popular characters, seen in the sequel, others, including Feather Venerable, are not playable.
This is indeed very unfortunate!
Since Zhao Yunlong started playing ’Star Emperor’, he’s been playing as Feather Venerable. Over the years, he’s beco thoroughly familiar with the character’s skills and combos.
If the sequel also featured Feather Venerable, just like the bullet comnts say, he truly could wreak havoc...
Too bad there isn’t; he has to practice a new character again, not knowing if the new characters in ’Star Emperor 2’ are strong or fun to play.
As this thought wandered, the ga finished installing.
Raising an eyebrow, Zhao Yunlong quickly launched the ga, typing his account password swiftly on the keyboard, logging into his Tianba account.
’The UI has changed, hasn’t it?’
Upon entering the ga, he imdiately noticed that ’Star Emperor 2’ indeed had significant differences from its predecessor; at first glance, the UI was very exquisite and beautiful.
Of course, the fundantals remain unchanged!
As a sequel, ’Star Emperor 2’ still retained high consistency with the original on several core aspects; players of the first ga could easily get started with a little familiarization.
Zhao Yunlong was the sa.
Though initially confused, after so exploring, he quickly got the hang of it.
After all, the operational logic and default key layout are the sa; the only thing needing familiarization might be the new characters and combat chanics.
Exactly!
New combat chanics...
During the newbie tutorial, the system posed several questions, including asking if the player had played ’Star Emperor’ first edition?
Zhao Yunlong selected ’played,’ then entered the new chanism learning and tutorial levels.
’This injury system is interesting! Injuries during battle; recovery isn’t imdiate after fighting ends, rather it requires slow healing?’
Reading this, Zhao Yunlong couldn’t help but complain: ’The part I can’t understand is why injuries sustained in single-player story missions persist in multiplayer mode?’
It’s quite absurd!
Seems like ’Star Emperor 2’ will have combat that’s more conservative than its predecessor, emphasizing operation and competition, unlike the previous large-scale moves.
No choice...
Under this injury system, everyone is ’afraid of death’; no one wants to get injured, everyone will try to evade skills, and combat will surely be less thrilling than before.
Nevertheless, this is more realistic!
Fear of death is a trademark of being the strongest. A bunch of Great Emperor Venerables fighting recklessly isn’t sensible.
Because, in the ga’s story background, the goal of these Great Emperor Venerables is consistent — to ’beco immortal’!
They can sacrifice anything to beco immortal. And to beco immortal requires waiting for the Path to Immortality to arrive; their lifespan won’t last until then, so in the story, all Great Emperor Venerables are ’creeping kings.’
This injury system fits right with the story background, where Great Emperor Venerables do everything they can to stay alive longer.
’Fortunately, the iconic light pollution effects and grand scenes of ’Star Emperor’ haven’t been cut...’ Zhao Yunlong said with relief.
The injury system isn’t a big issue.
It’s rely an issue of paying more attention to positioning and defense during battle and trying not to get injured.
His real worry was whether the combat segnts of ’Star Emperor 2’ would have the sa intense ’visual impact’ as its predecessor. Were the effects and graphics downgraded?
He’s now relieved.
The effects and graphics haven’t been cut; they were not only preserved but significantly enhanced based on the first ga, with extre sublimation now truly breathtaking.
However...
Listening to the buzzing of the graphics card inside the chassis, watching the real-ti fra rate changes displayed in the upper right corner of the screen, Zhao Yunlong sighed.
He tried his best!
Attempted many tis, the most he achieved was ’graphics card squealing’; as for the iconic ’graphics card failure’ scene in the predecessor, it’s unlikely to be recreated.
He had suspected it already.
After all, in these past two years, both AMD and NVIDIA produced a lot of innovation under ’Star Emperor’s’ stimulus, and recreating the previous performance exhaustion and graphics card failure scene isn’t practical.
Guessing is one thing, but when he maxed out the settings, started extre sublimation on the Path to Immortality, and the computer kept running smoothly except for so noise, he was still sowhat disappointed.
Disappointed about what?
Probably disappointed that the graphics card didn’t malfunction; it just doesn’t feel like ’Star Emperor’!
