This game is awesome

But...Sister An, how come your inspiration is so strange?

Gu Qingshi looked at the archaeological site excavation report and cultural relics pictures in the appendix at the back, which were full of electronically restored pictures of armor, clothing, weapons, and buildings.

Maybe it was because the armory was dug out, there were a lot of weapons in these pictures - there was also a Tang sword that Gu Qingshi had never heard of.

"Very rich materials..." Gu Qingshi muttered, thinking of the 260 million in the public account that had nowhere to spend, so she simply replied to the email.

"Approved. Development Department 3 will recruit another 50 people, and you can arrange the rest, Sister An."

Gu Qingshi sent the email.

This time she also had the pleasure of feeling that Pei E had no shortage of money.

Money power is really omnipotent. The third development department expanded as soon as it said it would, and immediately contributed to the employment of high-end talents in Le'an City.

After a while, Xu Qiu Sheng called again.

After asking, Gu Qingshi found out that an investor had watched today's "Ultimate Test" live broadcast, and therefore took a fancy to the mixed reality game that combines holographic projection and VR, and asked Fanxing if there was any business developing in this area.

"No, no. Director Xu, just reject it."

Gu Qingshi refused quite quickly.

It is obvious that someone who can ask such a stupid question is not from the industry. Although the "ultimate test" of Fanxing is grand today, it is impossible to last.

The same is true for "Adventurer's Handbook", which is similar to escape rooms, script-killing games, and haunted houses. Players like them very much when they first come into contact with them, but they will lose interest after playing them once or twice.

The heat simply can't last!

Isn't this the same as making a rubbish online game? They promote it before the server is launched so that everyone knows about it, just to make a quick buck and run away...

Xu Qiu Sheng obviously understood this as well, and he immediately said he understood and quickly rejected the investor's investment in the development department 2.

As Fanxing grew bigger, each development department had become a relatively independent unit. By analogy, the major development departments were the vassal states, and Gu Qingshi was the Zhou emperor.

The emperor only needs to rule the country and occasionally adjust the major policies. The rest can be done by Luo Jing, Xu Qiusheng and Anyan themselves...

Some people might feel that the situation is out of control because their company has become like this, but Gu Qingshi enjoys it. Her original intention of making games is to make some money and improve the industry environment. As for herself, of course it is best to lie down!

.............

The ultimate test of Beihai Villa has finally come to an end.

Although the scene was very chaotic, the players' goal in this event was not difficult, and could even be said to be simple. The number of demons was indeed terrifying, but the demons' AI was similar to the soldiers in martial arts movies, with one person fighting and nine people watching, and the beating actually became a round-robin battle.

As long as the players pay a little attention, they can hold back the demon, and the rest is just a matter of injecting dragon blood into each marked stone tablet.

The entire event lasted only two and a half hours. It started at around ten in the morning and ended at around one in the afternoon. The pillar of light that reached the sky gradually dissipated, and the holographic projections of the players turned into golden particles.

There are only nine stone tablets left in the Beihai Lake area - in another year or two, this place may become a pilgrimage site for players.

The players were so excited and indignant, and the audience outside the venue also watched a good show. By the afternoon, many wonderful clips of this event had been released.

It can be seen that the players really like this event.

However, what really deserves the attention of the employees of Development Department 2 is still to come.

With the end of the final test, "Baldur's Gate" was announced to be officially released.

The media reviews and player evaluations of "Baldur's Gate" will be released soon!

Chapter 278 [NGI: 10.0]

Imperial capital, NGI headquarters.

Xiao Wang fought for four days and five nights and successfully completed the main storyline of "Baldur's Gate".

Although many players on Earth claim that they have played Baldur's III for dozens or hundreds of hours and are still wandering around in the first chapter, for entertainment players who are not pursuing complete collection or intensity, the entire game process is probably only 70-100 hours. If you use the wind spirit, moon shadow and other spiritual activities, you can even complete it in 40 hours.

Baldur's Gate, developed by Fanxing, is no exception.

After playing, Xiao Wang's first feeling was: I am so damn handsome! My teammates are so damn awesome!

The game has a lot of side plots. Xiao Wang had already noticed this when he played the EA version, but he didn't take it seriously at the time and regarded it as a complicated task of "General, please clean up all our toilets.jpg".

The useless bard, the useless tiefling hell knight Sailov, the duke's assistant Florrick who almost killed him in the flames of Wojin's dormant place and had to be rescued a second time in the third chapter, Minsk who made him think he was an enemy, and the cute owl bear and taurus...

He could list these tasks for several pages in a notebook.

There are too many of them, which even affects the main storyline experience. He forgets the main storyline while playing, and some of the storylines require the use of brains and luck, which is simply unbearable for him.

So he was a little disgusted with these tedious side quests, but he forced himself to do them just for the sake of evaluation.

But in the final chapter, when he took on the task of saving Baldur's Gate and defeating the final boss, facing the enemy that was like a raging wave, he, the Storm Warlock King, gave a speech.

All the people (and non-people) he had helped gathered in the hero's banquet hall and supported him as he went to the battlefield. In an instant, all the negative feedback brought by the complicated side plots was swept away, and the positive feedback brought by the performance was simply explosive.

The sayings "Good is rewarded with good" and "Those who are righteous will have many supporters" are best interpreted in this scene.

——Although this bunch of newbie allies are a bit useless, and requiring each ally to have his or her own turn control makes each turn too long.

The main plot of Baldur's Gate is not that good, it is just a regular Dragon Quest story. The only thing worth mentioning is its outrageous network narrative.

God knows how Fanxing can write thousands of characters with names and independent plots in just one year...

Of course, Xiao Wang didn’t know that Fanxing had hired a luxurious copywriting team of fifty people.

Of course, side plots are good, but there are so many games with outstanding plots in the industry. AI writing is so common these days, and although network narratives are rare, they are not nonexistent. You can always see a few in a year.

The strength of Baldur's Gate lies in the fact that although its story is old-fashioned, it is new wine in old bottles. It creates a game world that allows players to be highly immersed, while giving players a high degree of freedom.

As long as you are willing to use your brain - or even if you don't have any brains, there is always a way to pass the game. There are many different ways to pass the various tasks in this game.

Even if he is really stupid, he can still launch a kamikaze attack with poor Gale in the second chapter and end the game directly.

Freedom, open world, and RPG are inseparable. Baldur's Gate puts a highly free game mechanism into a networked narrative and a game world where one move affects the whole body. The result is:

The players were so immersed in it that they couldn't stop playing.

This is roughly how Xiao Wang evaluates this game: exquisite battle design, epic story, cinematic presentation, and an open and vibrant game world.

Rating Column:_______

Xiao Wang thought about it again and again and felt a little hesitant.

But in the end he still entered two Arabic numerals in the score column.

——10 points.

------------

Tonight will probably be a sleepless night for the employees of the Second Development Department of Fanxing, especially Xu Qiu Sheng.

Only the boss was fast asleep and didn't care about the game rating at all.

Could it be that if I stayed up a little longer, my score would automatically go up? Gu Qingshi knew this very well, so she simply gave up.

Man proposes, God disposes.

Isn't it just a rating? Didn't you see that the IGN headquarters only gave Death Stranding 6.8? Could it be that Kojima Gege is going to cry her heart out and then watch three episodes of Likoris in the middle of the night?

Well, although the latter one is indeed possible.

...

The next morning, Gu Qingshi got up, washed up, and went out to work.

The popularity of "Baldur's Gate" is still there, and there are still many tourists who make the pilgrimage to Beihai Villa.

Only the sanitation workers at the villa were confused as they cleaned up the various fruits, snacks, and unburned incense and candles that had suddenly appeared.

As soon as Gu Qingshi went upstairs, she heard the cheers from Development Department 2.

When he met Xu Qiusheng, Gu Qingshi asked, "Baldur's Gate was victorious."

"Thanks to you!" Director Xu laughed, "This time NGI headquarters gave me full marks!"

Gu Qingshi was a little surprised.

The main reason is that the "network narrative" model is not uncommon in this world. Many games use this model, such as "Lexington", which also uses network narrative. But the level of narrative... can only be uneven.

This is not innovative in this regard. The only thing worth mentioning about Baldur's Gate is its degree of freedom.

In this regard, Baldur's Gate is indeed amazing, especially in the past two years, the RPG industry was still in a state of rigidity. Baldur's Gate can be said to have swept away the chronic disease of RPG games in the past decade, which was that the graphics were supreme and the content was scarce.

But judging from the fact that it scored 10 points, NGI must have made a big decision - there hasn't been a full-score game in several years.

Gu Qingshi nodded happily, "That's great. I'll go to the church restaurant and reserve the entire place so you can hold a celebration banquet."

When he heard that it was a church restaurant, Xu Qiu Sheng was also happy.

This feeling is good.

The church restaurant has become very famous recently and has attracted many tourists. He doesn't like to join in the crowds, so even though the restaurant is right in front of his company, he has rarely been there.

This time I took advantage of the boss's support.

After saying goodbye to Xu Qiu Sheng, Gu Qingshi went upstairs and sat in the office for a while, then received Li Xiaomeng's application for leave.

At first glance, I found that he was wearing his Prussian pointed helmet to attend the comic convention.

The scale of this comic exhibition is quite large, which is rare in a tier-18 city like Le'an. I think it is because there are many people during this period, and Le'an has also been targeted by some companies.

The application was approved, but there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Gu Qingshi said something, and then An Yan walked in.

Gu Qingshi blinked, wondering why An Yan came to the office so early in the morning.

Director An came over and said hesitantly, "Boss, have you really read the plan I gave you?"

"Of course I have. Sister An, is that what you are asking?"

Gu Qingshi was suspicious, always feeling that there was something else behind An Yan's words.

Seeing the girl's scrutinizing eyes, An Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained: "I didn't intend to really make this game. It was just an immature plan. And even if I really wanted to make it, I couldn't do it. I'm also in charge of Star Chosen. I don't have the time to do it."

Gu Qingshi grumbled and asked in confusion, "Aren't you only responsible for development? The remaining resources such as planning, art, numerical values, and music can still be used. If you want to develop specifically, just go directly to Panshi. This game has many similarities with Lexington, and their development staff must have experience."

Gu Qingshi has indeed brought her shamelessness to its extreme.

Of course, as a labor dispatch team, Panshi's development team is under the dispatch of Fanxing.
