Chapter 1647 A cycle

This opening chapter made Lu Xiaoping feel a little confused.

He felt that simply judging from this opening chapter, it seemed that Qiao Laoshi could not fundamentally refute the two questions he raised. However, such a high-level approach did seem very powerful and very powerful. depth. It can really highlight the professionalism of the video.

So Lu Xiaoping did not dare to draw conclusions now and could only continue to watch patiently.

......

"Let's talk about how to play the game first."

"In fact, the gameplay is very simple, it just adds some special combat abilities. Game."

"Players will go through battles one after another, and in the battles they only need to shoot to complete the designated mission objectives. In the process, players can continuously transform themselves through the prosthetic doctor. body and gain new combat abilities.”

“When I first started experiencing it, the feeling of gaining new abilities was very exciting. It was the first time I could climb a wall and be able to fly in the air. Soar. For the first time, the modified large-caliber weapons were used to deal devastating blows to multiple enemies..."

"These constantly unlocked special abilities are combined with the fierce and different battlefields to achieve the goal. Excellent combat effect. It makes people feel that it is a thrilling game that does not require thinking."

"But this feeling can only be experienced in one game, the more you play it over and over again. The more I experience this process over and over again, the more anxious I feel.”

“Because to play again, you need to give up all the special abilities you have acquired before, and you also need to go through all the prosthetic transformation processes all over again. For players who already know the ending, they will think that the whole process is meaningless and boring, so there is actually not much fun in playing multiple games."

"On the surface, this is not interesting. It seems to be a failure of game design. After all, in most people’s minds, the richer and more durable the gameplay is, the better the design is.”

“But do you still remember what I mentioned before? Mr. Pei’s design theory?”

“In Mr. Pei’s design, all settings and gameplay are designed to break the dimensional wall by giving players emotions through gameplay, so that players can It is more clever to bring the protagonist into the protagonist emotionally than simply through plot performance."

"Then this kind of monotony of only focusing on one episode does not pay attention to multiple episodes. Why can rough gameplay break the dimensional wall? Let me first explain what I understand about the plot of this game."

At this point, Qiao Laoshi has actually made a big point. The first question most people have about this game is that the gameplay is relatively monotonous.

It’s just that its evaluation of the gameplay is different from most people’s evaluation.

After all, Qiao Laoshi is also an experienced up owner, and he knows how to sell off the details to attract the audience's attention to the greatest extent. Read on.

He then began to analyze the gameThe plot of the play.

“Do you still remember what I just said? The second cornerstone of Mr. Pei’s game is to express a specific worldview structure to us through various metaphors and plot content that can easily be ignored. "

"In this game, of course, it is to express a specific understanding of the cyberpunk theme."

"You can see this. The game actually echoes the beginning and end. Mr. Pei actually took the plot of the last scene to the beginning, and then cut to the real beginning 10 years ago to tell the story."

"From a technical point of view, It has a touch of magical realism, which reminds me of the famous line: 'Many years later, facing the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía will recall that his father took him to see the ice. That distant afternoon. '"

"Sartre once said: 'The novelist's skill lies in which time he chooses to start narrating the past.'"

“He didn’t simply circle a piece of land, set a starting time point, and find a few characters to tell them what they should do. Instead, it blends into the free ocean like a fish. The past, future, and everything around it are completely strange and fresh."

"In my opinion, "The Future You Choose" is. The game actually uses this kind of opening, because the resistance leader Captain Ludd is not actually at the last point in time, because we are still waiting for what happens after the door is knocked, and it is not standing in the past. Time node, because he had already started his resistance activities 10 years ago.”

”The time point when Captain Lude stood on the rooftop and looked at the entire city was a time node in his life. An iconic node. This is not a structure of linear time, but a structure of cyclic time."

"Linear time will give people a sense of oppression, because you can clearly see it. Seeing the beginning and the end, but the cycle of time will relax this sense of oppression and bring about a helpless sense of fate, because you have no way of knowing this cycle and reincarnation, and you don't know when it will end. What you think is the end. It’s not a new beginning.”

“So it can be seen from this beginning that this game is full of metaphors, and similar metaphors will be repeated in the future.”

“Let us draw our attention to the ending of the game, because the whole process is preparing for the ending. If you understand the ending, you will naturally understand the clues buried in the process.”< /p>

"There are actually three parties in the ending of the game."

"The first party is the apparent victor. Captain Ludd, as the leader of the resistance,He played a crucial role in overthrowing Tenda Group. Supported and admired by all. In the final battle, he took the lead and broke into the headquarters of Tenda Group first. "

"But he failed to achieve his goal. The reason why he resisted Tenda Group was because he believed that there was an incarnation of "evil" in the world, which was the president of Tenda Group. He wants to find the highest war criminal, bring him to justice, and judge him with fairness, justice and truth. From then on, the whole world can be freed from the shadow of the Tenda Group. "

"But he failed. The person in charge named Wu told him that Tenda Group had never had a real president. Tenda Group is a decision-making community ultimately formed by all responsible persons and artificial intelligence systems based on the interests of the enterprise. "

"The reason why Captain Ludd finally fell into confusion on the rooftop is because a physical person can be killed and judged, but how can an invisible system be killed and judged? Woolen cloth? He also gradually realized that precisely because this was an invisible system, he would definitely be resurrected in some way. "

"Captain Ludd appears to be the biggest winner, but in fact he is also the biggest loser. "

"The second party is the entrepreneur who finally occupied the underground computer room of Tenda Group and seized all the data and artificial intelligence systems controlled by Tenda Group. "

"On the surface, he is the real winner, because he inherited the most precious legacy of Tenda Group. As long as he has these data and intelligent systems, and by recruiting the original leaders of Tenda Group, he can develop rapidly and let his company quickly replace Tenda Group and become the next real monopoly giant. "

"His name and the name of the company are not stated in the game. This is because it is not important in the designer's attitude. He can be any person or any company. "

"The game even deliberately expresses a feeling that things are getting worse through the mouth of this entrepreneur. The entrepreneur said that Tenda Group did not put corporate security in this First place in the decision-making system, thus giving the rebels and other interviewees the opportunity to overthrow the Tenda Group. "

"The entrepreneur said that he would not make the same mistake, which seemed to give people the illusion that he would replace Tenda Group and become the permanent monopoly. "

"But will the future really be what he wants? "

"Of course this is a relatively open ending, and the designer did not give a clear answer, but I think it is. The conclusion drawn after in-depth analysis must be negative. ”

“He is secretly the biggest winner, but I think he is still not a real winner. ”

“The third party is Tenda Group. On the surface, Tenda Group is the biggest loser. It had already obtained a monopoly in the entire world, but because it did not put corporate security first in the decision-making system, it gave the rebels and otherHis plutocrats took advantage of the opportunity and were jointly overthrown. ”

“The headquarters of Tenda Group was captured. The person in charge of Tenda Group surrendered to the enemy, ran away, or committed suicide. The entire company fell apart, the property will be divided, and the data and decision-making system controlled by it will also be destroyed. will be occupied by other companies. ”

“If Tenda Group were a person, then his current fate could be said to be cut into pieces by five horses and cut into pieces by a thousand knives. "

"But the question is, is the Tengda Group in the story really a concrete person, or an ordinary company? I don't think so. ”

“The reason is simple. The person in charge named Wu said that Tenda Group does not have a president at all. All decisions are actually made by all the persons in charge and the intelligent system. What does it represent? Is it everyone’s opinion? no. It represents the will of enterprise development and is the optimal solution for the entire enterprise. ”

“So the real Tenda Group’s will is invisible. The opinions of the person in charge and the plans of the AEEIS decision-making system, including the data and systems in the underground computer room, are just the media of this invisible will in reality. "

"Please think about it, employees are part of the company, but if the company fires employees, will the company be affected or even cease to exist? Is this a failure? Of course not. ”

“Similarly, whether it is the person in charge, employees, headquarters building or computer room data, they are like ordinary employees to the company. Losing these actually does not affect the foundation of this invisible will. ”

“And this invisible will has already entered a new company with the person in charge of computer room data and transfer, and replaced the company’s original will. ”

“So the biggest loser on the surface is actually the biggest winner. ”

“Because in this game, Tengda Group never represents a certain number of people, a certain company or a certain entity. It is an invisible will and law. It will only draw from one One carrier reaches another and continues to experience a process of rapid development, monopoly, and decline. ”

“This is what the game tells through the beginning: that desperate cycle where you can’t see the beginning or the end, you can only stand at one of the nodes and overlook the whole city, but the more you look at it, the more confused you become. "

"In this cycle, the invisible will is constantly reviving the dead and reborn from the ashes. Whether it is Captain Ludd or the other rebels, or the big plutocrats who think they have won, they are just passers-by on this stage. ”
