Chapter 558 Can You Turn Off the Damage Display?

Denise said: "Okay, then let's get to the point. I came here with questions from many players. We all know that "Dark Souls" has achieved extraordinary success in Europe and the United States, and even It completely crushed the "Knight Glory" produced by ga."

"Although you've had other successful titles before, like Warcraft, Minecraft, League of Legends, etc., there's never been a game that has achieved such a wide-ranging success as Dark Souls. Influence. After all, this is the first game built with an artificial intelligence engine, and it also represents the current superlative VR game design level.”

"Then about this game, the first thing we focus on is its difficulty. When designing the game, did you decide to make the game so difficult from the very beginning? Or is it a joint decision of the entire R&D team? ?"

Chen Mo nodded: "In terms of difficulty setting, it's up to me to decide."

Dennis said: "That said, the difficulty of Dark Souls' reputation... is entirely the result of your overwhelming opinion? So why is it so difficult?"

Chen Mo smiled: "I don't think it is possible to describe the difficulty of this game simply by 'difficult'. I don't like to say 'this is too difficult', but usually say, 'this is unreasonable'."

Denise was a little puzzled: "Does it make any difference?"

Chen Mo said: "Obviously, the difficulty of "Dark Soul" is not so high that everyone is discouraged, and this is not my original intention when designing it."

"From a mundane point of view, it is true that Dark Souls is more difficult than most games on the market, but what I care more about is whether the level design logic behind Dark Souls is reasonable. "

"The key is to find a balance. Players will find it very difficult when they can't find the trick, but after finding the trick, most people can pass the level relatively smoothly. This is the difficulty design I want."

Denise was shocked: "Wow, he is indeed a world-class game designer. The way to look at games is different from ours."

Chen Mo said in a low voice, "Putting it down in a nutshell, you shouldn't be too ruthless, otherwise it would be bad if you abused the players."

Denise: "Huh?"

Chen Mo smiled: "It's okay, let's continue."

Denise said: "Okay, the next question is that the weapon output in this game seems to be very different? For example, I personally like whip weapons very much, but in "Dark Souls", whip weapons seem to be It doesn't have any effect at all, and some other weapons, such as the exile sword, are not too strong?"

Chen Mo said: "Well, yes. The exile sword is indeed stronger."

Denise asked, "Why is it deliberately designed this way?"

Chen Mo said: "Of course it's because I prefer to use it myself."

Denise: "Huh?"

Chen Mo added: "About whip weapons, because in the design, this is a relatively marginal weapon type. In fact, in "Dark Soul", most of the weapons that are suitable for playing handsome are in some other weapons. The attributes have been slightly nerfed. This is done to allow players to try some other weapon types.”

Denise pondered: "So, whip weapons and many more handsome weapons are flashy, is it for this reason?"

Chen Mo laughed: "Yes, after all, being strong is for a while, but being handsome is for a lifetime! If you are strong and handsome, then players won't play other weapons. Didn't I do it for nothing?"

Denise was speechless: "What you said makes sense... However, there must be a limit to weakness, right? For example, the leather whip I like, the output is too low, right?"

Chen Mo coughed twice: "This... hobbies in life should not be brought into the game. Besides, do you think the damage display can be turned off when the output is low."

Denise was shocked: "Turn off the damage display? Isn't that deceiving yourself?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes,

But at least it's a good solution, right? "

Denise was a little bit broken: "But...whether it's an invasion or a policeman, if the weapon damage is too low, it means that you can't beat others!"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Well, you can play games offline and be a lonely whip queen, so that you won't encounter such troubles."

Denise was shocked: "So, the solution to the low damage of the whip is to play the game offline?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Well, although this solution sounds a bit unreliable, you have to admit that it is indeed one of the ways to solve the problem."

Denise raised her forehead with a bit of collapse: "Okay, then let's move on to the next topic..."

"On the Internet, the plot of "Dark Souls" aroused heated discussions among players, and some players even speculated on the plot by dismantling the names. Many people said that this method is very stupid, after all, the design of "Dark Souls" The teacher is from China. So, did you have any corresponding connotations in your name?"

Chen Mo said: "Oh, this is actually there. My research is very extensive, including many place names and people's names in the game, which are actually in English first, and then translated into Chinese based on English. Otherwise, this game will not work. Maybe the western taste is so good."

Denise's eyes lit up: "That is to say, it is very reasonable to speculate on the corresponding plot based on the names of places and famous people?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, you can say that."

Denise said: "It's really surprising, it seems that your cultural heritage is really deep! I'm still wondering why a Huaxia company can make such an original Western fantasy theme, but I know you have After such a profound cultural background, it is not difficult to understand all this!"

Chen Mo chuckled: "Oh, this is just some trivial interest."

Denise added: "We also noticed. The plot of Dark Souls is relatively fragmented, and there are many plots that are not clearly explained. What do you think about this? Is there more room for imagination?"

Chen Mo smiled: "In fact, this is a deliberate design. I have a complete story background in my mind, but I will definitely not say it, because it allows players to explore and discover in the world. More mysteries, which in itself is one of the core joys of Dark Souls."

"Of course, there is still a large part of the plot content that we have not released, and there will be another work in "Dark Soul"."

Denise was instantly refreshed: "Another work? That is to say..."Dark Souls" will have a sequel?"
