Chapter 379: No Comparison, No Harm

As the game progressed, the two did not feel that the game was getting more and more fun, but more and more awkward.

There was a sense of discomfort in all aspects of the game.

After the prologue, the map area was a little larger, and there were many more random dungeons and designed dungeons.

The two entered a dungeon together and soon encountered the first batch of monsters.

There were three of them.

In the case of team formation, the blood volume of monsters will increase.

But even if it increases, it is not enough in front of two people, 1+1 is greater than 2.

Before Shen Zijun's mage skills were read out, three monsters were killed by Liu Hao's warriors.

Going further in, the same thing happened.

The largest wave of monsters was only seven.

This time Shen Zijun finally read out the skills.

At this point, Liu Hao couldn't help it anymore and complained: "No, can't there be a few more? Who can kill them with this little bit? They are all dead before I can finish using my skills."

"Maybe we are used to the excitement brought by the large number of monsters when Diablo is playing in the secret realm? Let's continue playing."

The monsters are indeed a little simpler and a little less.

But the BOSS is really high in attack and high in health.

This is also a major feature of the Road to Heaven series, that is, the difficulty.

This battle was full of dangers.

"Hide, hide, hide, get out of the way!"

"This move is locked, you can't dodge it."

"I'll save you!"

After a dangerous scraping, the BOSS finally fell to the ground.

Finally, a difficult challenge came, and the two shouted excitedly.

"NICE!! Cool!!"

"So cool, this rescue, is this okay?"

"Awesome, so awesome?"

"What the hell!"

The two looked at the screen and were stunned.

The boss dropped a piece of equipment and a bunch of gold coins.

That's it.

The two of them looked at the screen in silence for a long time. Shen Zijun lit a cigarette for himself and took a deep puff.

Then he said faintly: "That's it? I thought I defeated Diablo with the highest difficulty."

Liu Hao had a blank expression on his face. Seeing the corpse on the ground at this moment, he was more angry than seeing the company leader.

"It feels like I went to the West to obtain the scriptures after 81 difficulties, and the Buddha gave me the Jade Girl Heart Sutra."

"Yes, Diablo is not simple either, but he really gave me good things."

After playing for a few hours, not only did I not feel happier, but my mood felt worse.

After completing this task, continue to advance the plot.

To be fair, the two felt that the story of the road to heaven was well written.

The story revolves around a holy object. Using it can make a wish and open a road to the Garden of Eden, where you can gain eternal life.

But using the holy object requires a price equal to the wish.

The plot of the previous few games, the first part revolves around the fight for the holy object, bloody and violent.

The second part praises the light of humanity. After the protagonist obtains the holy object, he knows that this thing will lead to the world's strategy, and wishes that there will be no more holy objects in the world from now on.

The third part fully develops the world view and explores the truth of the world.

The theme of the fourth part is the price. Both of them have a hunch that the ending will be a big reversal.

The plot is very exciting, but it is not smooth to play at all.

The BOSS is too difficult, which is a tradition of the series.

In the past, there was more time and quick reaction.

You can practice the operation repeatedly, study the equipment matching, and how to click the skill points.

Once some non-renewable resources are used improperly, this account will be ruined.

But now, there is no time and no energy.

After all, the last game was eight years ago!

Playing games is to relax, but the more you play Road to Heaven 4, the worse it is.

Along the way, I was too lazy to touch the elite monsters when I saw them, and I didn't want to fight when I saw the dungeon.

Anyway, there will be no good things.

But this leads to a vicious cycle.

The less you level up, the less attribute damage you have, and the more difficult it is to beat the BOSS and elites.

This is even more true for the boss at the end of the second chapter.

"Hurry, hurry, hide!"

"Don't chase me, don't come over!"

The first attempt failed as expected.

Liu Hao cursed and said, "I can't hide! No, the production team is sick, this charge directly locks the player, and it won't end unless you get hit by this move!! But if you get hit, you will be killed instantly. Do you want to let people play? Lock again, lock again!"

Shen Zijun shrugged and said, "The road to heaven used to be like this. At that time, I still remember that those who could kill the boss would be envied for a while. Maybe Baofeng Entertainment thinks this design is cool and fun."

"It did extend the game time and was very interesting back then. But now the times have changed, and the amazing design back then is not suitable now!"

After trying a few more times, it was indeed stuck in the value, and it was really unbeatable.

Liu Hao clicked on the resurrection gloomily and walked towards the map helplessly.

Brush equipment and experience.

To say how the game is made, it is still very good.

Whether it's the graphics, physics engine, or combat, they are all very good, definitely not inferior to Diablo.

In terms of graphics and plot, it's even better.

But it's just very frustrating to play, and it makes people feel very bad.

When the screen goes black, you can see your face on the computer screen is extremely blue.

It obviously tastes the same as the "Road to Paradise 3" back then, but it also adds many settings and many game mechanics, so it should be more fun.

But why is it so unsatisfactory?

What went wrong?

In other words, something went wrong everywhere.

Can these be considered faults?

Can and can't.

No, it's because Road to Paradise 3 is the same, and even many contents have been optimized and improved.

Yes, because there is Diablo Jewel in front of me.

Without contrast, there is no harm.

I am used to the silky-smooth game process, and the battles that fill me with a sense of anticipation and excitement. When I play Road to Paradise 4 again, I feel like I am constipated.

But when it comes to specifically what is wrong, I can only give a vague feeling, but no specific answer.

Played until night.

In one day, I was exhausted both mentally and physically.

At the end of the game, as expected, the plot took an unexpected turn.

The plot is really good.

But before the final BOSS, a lot of pen and ink was spent in order to exaggerate the emotions of the ending plot.

As a result, I died over and over again under the high difficulty of the final BOSS.

After gaining equipment experience and finally passing the Tail King, all I felt was fatigue.

There is no heartfelt feeling at all, nor any feeling about the ending plot.

Because the brewing emotions have already been exhausted by repeatedly brushing the equipment experience level.

And looking at the loot that fell, it was even more pitiful.

After defeating Diavolo, it was like thanking the Nephalem for their hard work and rewarding them for the hard battle.

The loot all over the sky is dropped out like no money.

As for the tail king in Road to Paradise 4, after defeating him, he has three pieces of equipment and a small pile of gold coins.

Gone.

Although the equipment attributes are indeed good, it just feels useless and frustrating.

"This level of difficulty will be fine in the second round." Liu Hao rubbed his temples to relieve his headache. "In the first round, it will do nothing but ruin the game experience."

Shen Zijun, who had no pressure in his life and usually played a lot of games, couldn't be happy at the moment.

He hesitated and asked: "Do you want to continue playing tomorrow? It feels like a pity to finish such an expensive game and leave it there in one day."

Liu Hao hesitated for a moment and replied: "Let's play. Like you said, it's so expensive. And what if the content after reaching the full level is better?"

the next day.

After clearing the plot for the first time, the remaining content is to accumulate equipment and some tutorials to experience the full-level content.

"Okay, although it is a linear game flow, there is still a lot of playable content."

After seeing the content after reaching the full level, I finally got some interest.

I first experienced using dungeons to brush equipment.

After reaching full level, as long as the difficulty is not increased, the monster's health damage will be fixed, and it will only become easier and easier to fight as the player's equipment gets better and better.

The first few rounds were okay, the freshness was still there.

But as I used it more often, I started to feel bored.

Liu Hao defeated the final BOSS and took a look at the drop.

Several pieces of equipment are of little use.

"Let's try another method of play? They are all about grinding dungeons. Why do I think it's not as fun as Diablo? If you don't get good equipment in Diablo, you can upgrade the runes, which can be considered a guaranteed improvement."

Shen Zijun nodded in agreement and said: "I feel the same way. Are there too few monsters? Or is the map too big? That's not right, it's about the same size. What's going on?"

Come with good fortune and return with bad luck.

Look again at another gameplay.

Another full-level gameplay is called Battlefield of the Gods.

After accepting the mission, players will be transported to the new map Battlefield of the Gods.

Defeating the monsters inside will accumulate a special currency, divine blood.

Divine blood can open treasure chests on the map to obtain loot. The type of equipment dropped by each treasure chest and the amount of divine blood required are different.

The highest treasure chest requires 175 drops of divine blood to open.

The lowest treasure chest only costs 30 divine blood, so the items are naturally not much better.

Each event lasts for one hour, after which all unused divine blood disappears.

If you die during the period, half will be deducted as a death penalty.

"Try this first?"

"OK!"

Before starting, Liu Hao hesitated for a moment and said with a dark face: "This new map called the Battlefield of the Gods, isn't it a pvpve map? Can players rob each other?"

Shen Zijun also paused and remained silent for a few seconds.

"Probably, no? Is Baofeng Entertainment really that stupid?"

"Maybe."

Now that I have bought the game, I naturally want to try out the gameplay.

I don’t care, let’s talk about it after experiencing it.

After entering the map, fortunately, it was not the case.

Players cannot attack each other.

On the contrary, monsters killed by passers-by will also drop divine blood if you are nearby.

"Finally an interesting way to play!"

Liu Hao's eyes lit up, and he controlled the character to kill where the monsters were the most.

But to say it is the most dense is actually just that, it is just stronger than the ones in the dungeon.

There are still 12 minutes left before the end of this round of Battlefield of the Gods.

Even though the two of them worked hard, they didn't get much divine blood, but their experience points were greatly improved.

There are only three minutes left before the end, and the blood on the body is only 150, which is not enough to exchange for the best reward of 175.

"Let's go and find treasure chests while brushing, don't waste it."

Although I found a treasure chest with 175 blood, there was not enough, so I had to settle for the next best thing and find another one that required 150 blood.

After the exchange, two pieces of equipment dropped out.

One of them was useful, but the improvement was not big.

When the next round started, the two arrived on time and started brushing in the first minute.

According to this progress, about 4 to 5 large treasure chests with 175 blood can be exchanged in an hour.

Thinking about the improvement brought by the equipment inside, it is a burst of anticipation.

A long time passed.

"910 blood! How about you?"

"I have 880, just enough to exchange for five."

Looking at the time again, there are still 7 minutes.

"Let's go, open the treasure chest."

The two excitedly rushed to the treasure chest location they passed by last time, and were about to excitedly open the box to take things.

But found. Empty.

Both of them were stunned.

Liu Hao cursed loudly in confusion: "Damn! Where is the treasure chest? Did I remember the wrong location?"

Shen Zijun was also a little at a loss, shaking his head and said: "No, it's right here. Damn, the location of this box is not random, right?"

"Random, random??? No, this stupid game is sick!! Does the designer think he is very humorous? What's the point of randomness in this thing?!"

"Hurry up, keep looking, there is still a lot of time."

There are only six minutes left.

However, this time the luck is very bad.

Many 150 boxes were found, 125 boxes were also found, and 90 boxes were found.

But I didn't see any 175 boxes!

Five minutes, four minutes, three minutes.

At this time, the monsters that were complaining about the small number of killings suddenly felt that there were so many!

Although there are blood bottles and damage reduction skills, they will not die.

But the monsters will slow down!

I was in a hurry, and now I am even more anxious.

Shen Zijun was so anxious that only half of his butt was sitting on the chair, and half of his head was about to be stuck into the screen.

He looked to the left, but it wasn't him.

He looked to the right, but it wasn't him either.

Soon, only one minute was left.

"Where the hell is it!!!"

"Brother Hao! Here, come quickly!"

Found it?

Liu Hao was in a hurry to see this, and he used all his skills to kill anyone who stood in his way.

Finally, he arrived when there were only 20 seconds left.

Seeing his friend coming, Shen Zijun handed over his 175 blood without hesitation.

The lid of the box opened, and two pieces of equipment popped out.

Then, the box disappeared in front of the two people.

Disappeared.

The two subconsciously glanced at each other, and then looked at the time. It wasn't over yet, and there were still 15 seconds.

Isn't it because the activity time is over?

That's because.

"A box can only be opened once?! And the location is random? Designer, I'm %&*!!! Stupid game, if I play it again, I'm your grandson!!"

As he said that, he did not hesitate to ALT+F4 and quit the game.

Then he opened Diablo.

Shen Zijun also sighed and made the same gesture, saying, "I never thought that a spiritual sequel could beat the original so badly."

But Liu Hao suddenly said with a serious face, "No, don't talk nonsense, Diablo is not a spiritual sequel."

"Ah?" Shen Zijun was stunned.

Then he heard Liu Hao say angrily, "Road to Heaven 4, this stupid game is not worthy of being the original work of Diablo. Diablo is Diablo, who is Road to Heaven? I don't know."

Shen Zijun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Suddenly he remembered a sentence on the Internet.

The greatness of Bai Yueguang is that even Bai Yueguang himself can't compare to her. (End of this chapter)
