"Just simple role-playing?"
"Not really. In my view, ’Abab’s True Story’ is actually a Soul-like ga!"
Yang Dong: "Huh...?"
Do you hear yourself? How can ’Abab’s True Story’ be a Soul-like ga? Is that sothing a person would say?
Where is your Soul Elent?
"Extrely high ga difficulty, intense sense of frustration, and a clearance rate so low it’s shocking—isn’t that a Soul-like ga?"
Chen Ba laughed heartily: "Do you really think Abab will always succeed? Wrong, absolutely wrong!"
The difficulty of ’Abab’s True Story’ is extrely high.
Chen Ba treats this ga entirely according to the standards of a Soul-like ga. Every task in the ga is akin to a level boss.
And as everyone knows, to beat the bosses in Soul-like gas, you have to die several tis, even get goosebumps, and you can’t make a single mistake to have hope of defeating them.
The sa principle applies.
The main tasks in ’Abab’s True Story’ are also so tough they make your scalp tingle. Players must precisely seize every opportunity and choice, and have clear thinking to barely et the standards.
The only consolation is that Soul-like gas really rely on skills, including controlling the timing of shield counters or dodges, etc.
’Abab’s True Story’ doesn’t require that much skill. Even players with poor hand-eye coordination can play it; there’s no situation where bad players can’t play this ga.
But the difficulty of this ga lies in the mind; if your thinking isn’t clear or your brain doesn’t work well, you’ll still get stuck, and looking at other people’s guides and videos won’t help.
"The high difficulty and intense frustration of the ga are actually to lower the clearance rate as much as possible, and the purpose of lowering the clearance rate is to highlight the ga’s core idea!"
Chen Ba nodded and said: "Things that are too easily obtained aren’t cherished, nor are they kept in mind. It’s what you can’t get that is most precious, and the harder it is to obtain, the more unforgettable it is."
Through the ga’s extre difficulty and intense frustration, the overall clearance rate of players is greatly reduced.
And the low clearance rate precisely reflects the core idea of ’Abab’s True Story’—please show more care to the disabled people around you, they have a hard ti!
"What I want to see is nine out of ten players driven mad by the ga, yelling that the difficulty is too high, asking why it’s so insane..."
Chen Ba showed a mysterious smile and said: "If soone complains to that the difficulty is too high and wants to lower it, then I can smoothly say that sentence."
"What sentence?"
"The ga can adjust the difficulty and let you start over; what about reality?"
Yang Dong: "..."
Good, good, good!
He knew Ba must have a deeper aning behind this; he was waiting for this! He’s just waiting for players to complain about the ga’s difficulty being too high, then smoothly say those philosophical words!
But honestly, if there really are players complaining about the difficulty being too high and wanting it lowered, and Ba happens to say those words...
He’d really pull it off!
Everything is interconnected. After carefully listening to Ba’s description of ’Abab’s True Story,’ Yang Dong thought for a mont and said: "If it’s truly made, and the quality is decent, your plan might indeed work."
If this doesn’t win an award, who else could?
Co on!
If next year’s TGA’s Annual Awards has ’Abab’s True Story’ nominated, who could compete with Ba?
Probably right after the nomination list is announced, Ba would start crafting his award speech, thinking about what to say on stage and where to place the trophy back ho.
No kidding, based on Ba’s description of ’Abab’s True Story,’ this ga is absolutely a hot contender for awards!
About ga quality?
It’s comparable to a AAA production, and it integrates multiple popular elents like open-world, role-playing, and multi-line narrative—can you really say this ga has poor quality?
If the ga quality isn’t poor, not much less than standard AAA gas, then is it the popularity that’s lacking?
Nonsense!
It’s obvious even without thinking. If a "AAA-like" new hit surfaces in the gaming community, it’s bound to be a hot topic all over the internet, with players swarming when it launches.
Do you think this is a small ga?
A creation comparable to AAA, you could say before it’s formally initiated, just a simple leak can stir up discussion everywhere.
Not to ntion, Tianba Studio isn’t short of money, they’ll definitely have a massive amount of promotional articles and advertisents; players couldn’t miss it even if they tried.
Popularity isn’t a worry here.
With popularity, heat, and topics, with such high ga quality, coupled with an impeccable the, ’Abab’s True Story’ is simply undefeatable.
The only problem might be...
This ga’s project size alone is so huge, just making it will cost how much? Does Tianba Studio’s current funds suffice to develop this "AAA-like" ga?
"No worries, we have enough money."
Chen Ba indicated that anything could be a concern except money.
After all, when developing ’Star Emperor 2,’ Tianba Studio received a lot of sponsorships. Although those sponsorships can’t be misused and were eventually spent.
However, as the saying goes, money spent can, in so sense, be retrieved!
Just "clean" it.
...
While Chen Ba and Yang Dong were enthusiastically discussing ’Abab’s True Story’ at the company, the duo of Old Chen and Old Wang were also chatting.
But if Chen Ba were to hear their topic, he’d likely break out in cold sweat!
"Is this... genuine?"
Inspecting the killer move Old Wang brought out, even though Old Chen was ntally prepared, he was still shocked.
Sir, are you serious?
Speaking of, where did you forge this dical record? It looks just like the real thing, even has a doctor’s signature, very impressive.
"It sure is genuine!"
Old Wang animatedly said: "I know it’s hard to fool my daughter with fakes, so I used real dical records and have been preparing since half a year ago, absolutely no problem."
"Real dical records?!"
Old Chen was taken aback, eyes wide as he looked at Old Wang: "You’re really diagnosed with cancer, and have little ti left?"
"The cancer’s fake, the dical records are real!"
Old Wang raised his eyebrows and said: "I secretly acquired this private hospital a year ago; everyone from the director and doctors to nurses and security guards are in on it."
aning he has pretended to be "sick" for six months, and this incident has ample evidence and witnesses, enough for her scrutiny and inquiries.
There’s even a hospitalization record...
Moreover, to make it more believable, Old Wang specifically hired a special makeup artist to prepare various "haggard" looks for him.
"It’s simply flawless!"
Old Chen sincerely praised: "Forget about your daughter, even I, knowing the truth, might believe you’re really dying facing so much evidence."
"But I have another question, if you’re pretending to be sick, what about your company?"
"I’ve already inford them."
Old Wang calmly replied: "Aside from a few directors, most aren’t aware of the truth. The board will keep my secret and cooperate with my act; it won’t be a problem."
That’s part of your plan too?
Old Chen was truly impressed, worthy of being a self-made billionaire of the first generation; his plot arrangent is simply perfection.
If Conan ca, he’d be clueless!
"Then in your plan, how do I cooperate with you?" Old Chen asked.
"You just need to ntion my illness and hospitalization to your son at the appropriate ti, and then find a chance to bring him to visit in the hospital; I’ll handle the rest."
Old Wang confidently assured: "As long as we two brothers work together, we can absolutely show these young folks that they’re aware but far from crafty!"
"Indeed, young ones playing mind gas with us aren’t quite there yet! Co, in-laws, let’s have another drink..."
"Alright, alright!"
At the table, the two who originally referred to each other as old buddies gradually began calling each other in-laws, the relationship beca more intimate, and the atmosphere more harmonious.
