Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 188: Sensation! A Heavyweight Guest Performs!

Three hours of gaplay!

A lifeti of love for one couple!

"To the Moon" uses a stunning reverse-narrative technique, revealing the story through small events and clues, turning it over and over again!

With masterful artistic expression, it vividly portrays a love spanning sixty years!

From initial laughter to later scolding, and finally to moving emotions.

After Titanfall, this is the second ti players have been moved to tears!

If Titanfall tells a story of farewell -

Cooper bid farewell to Lastimosa, to Anderson, to BT-7274, and to his weaker forr self, all to beco truly worthy of his beliefs.

Then To the Moon tells a story of reunion -

To fulfill his wish of going to the moon, John reunites with old friends, with his brother, with his lifelong love Xiao Xi, and with the promise they made in childhood.

The line ["We'll always et on the moon, silly"] moved players to tears!

The line ["It was never the moon I wanted to go to, but wherever you were"] made players break down completely!

'Damn it, crying so hard in the middle of the night I can't breathe...'

'The mont Old John's heartbeat stopped I just burst into tears'

'Ahhhh I even mocked Old John for wanting to be an astronaut, I'm such an asshole...'

'Can't sleep, sat up in the middle of the night and slapped myself twice...'

'Crying my eyes out, my mom thought sothing was wrong with '

'Watching the stream lying down, my pillow is completely soaked'

'This is only the second ti I've cried watching a stream - first was Titanfall, now To the Moon'

'Wuwuwu how can anyone handle this... you bastard writer how could you write this script wuwuwu...'

'The writer's knife strikes again'

'Damn it just wanted to watch so stream before bed, now I'm crying wide awake'

'Tough guys shedding tears'

'This isn't even a ga, it's pure art'

'Wuwuwuwu really can't hold it in...'

The audience collectively broke down, strears choked up, and reviewers had tears streaming down their faces!

So silently shed tears, so sobbed quietly, so wailed loudly.

To the Moon's story is undoubtedly moving, but often what makes a great ga truly touching is its ability to evoke players' own emotions.

Whether it's life's hardships, work frustrations, or relationship issues.

At this mont, To the Moon beca an emotional outlet for everyone.

"Really... sorry everyone... so sorry..."

It's hard to imagine Laosao - a strear known for his cheerful "Little bro lick him!" "Face the storm Soliaka pain! Pain pain!" gaming style - now with tissues covering his desk, completely broken down crying:

"This story really got to ,"

"What really destroyed was seeing Xiao Xi - who had autism - reaching out to John at the end..."

This comnt made the barrage cry even harder -

'Bro stop bro, really can't take it'

'Ahhhh that detail makes it even sadder...'

'Please stop analyzing Laosao, I'm buying this ga just to collect it, can't bear to play'

'Seriously, just looking at the cover makes emotional'

'It's art, buy it for collection, playing is impossible after crying so hard just watching the stream'

'No knives but still stole my tears, damn you writer'

'Little Huang is amazing...'

Everyone praised the ga's incredible quality that moved them to tears, repeatedly shouting "Little Huang is amazing!"

But the next second!

Players realized their praise ca too soon.

Because as the ending scene faded and the piano piece "For River" that accompanied the entire ga gradually ended, the credits began to roll.

And with the credits scrolling, a ti-travel-like sound effect played, followed by a beautiful prelude!

Then!

An extrely familiar voice began singing, quiet and delicate.

Like soone arriving from afar, covered in dust.

Or like a joyful reunion -

["When love becos ruins

Carved into mories with hieroglyphs

Missing you for centuries

Is what we call unforgettable..."]

"Huh--?"

Hearing Chinese lyrics, from Laosao to all viewers, everyone made sounds of disbelief!

'Holy shit! What's this?'

'End... ending song???'

'Damn! Little Huang actually made an ending song? And it's in Chinese?'

'Wow! Wow wow wow! I got goosebumps bros!'

'Titanfall didn't even get this treatnt! The writer is playing favorites!'

'No! Bros listen carefully to this voice!'

'This voice is too distinctive...'

'Damn! Is it really him singing?'

'Huh??? Really? This kind of crossover?'

'Hey-- hey hey! I'm getting chills bros!'

'Don't do this, I just got my tears under control!'

'No way Little Huang, control yourself, really can't take it!'

'...'

An ending song format never seen before!

All players were shocked!

Most crucially, the singer's voice was too distinctive - nicknad the B4 Bomber of the music industry, his voice imdiately captivated listeners!

["Future advanced technology

Cannot simulate the warmth of your embrace

If in another ti and space we et differently

Could we have another ending..."]

The fitting lyrics and arrangent created lasting emotion, everyone watching the rolling credits held their breath!

Next mont!

Two alternating notes gradually transford, like blooming flowers, like moonlight breaking through clouds, brilliantly blossoming, gently pouring down!

["I want to see you just want to see you!

Past or future I just want to see you

Through thousands of tilines

Finding each other in the crowd—"]

Simultaneously!

Footage from the recording studio appeared, showing a male singer wearing headphones and a Golden Wind logo T-shirt, with dimpled cheeks and o_O eyes, singing passionately!

"HOLY——SHIT——!!!"

This mont!

All players! All strears! All dia!

Even the CDEA publicity departnt staff watching the stream!

Everyone scread in unison!

"Huh——???"

...

"JJ Lin——???"

"What the fuck——???"

Forget others!

Right now!

Even Gu Sheng watching the stream with Little Nezha in their apartnt jumped up!

Staring in shock at Shen Miaomiao who was wiping tears while proudly grinning with her little white teeth.

"You... huh...?"

Gu Sheng pointed at the projection screen, then at Little Nezha:

"That mysterious guest you ntioned was... JJ? Old Lin?"

Correct!

This ending song titled "Soday or One Day" was originally the the song for the drama of the sa na in Gu Sheng's previous life.

But due to parallel universe twists, in this world it beca To the Moon's ending song, composed by Shen Miaomiao's contact with lyrics written by Gu Sheng.

But!

Gu Sheng never expected!

The singer would be such a heavyweight evergreen in Mandopop!

What kind of connections is this?!

"Tehe, surprised? Shocked?"

Seeing Gu Sheng's dumbfounded expression made Shen Miaomiao even prouder!

Finally she managed to make Old Gu make this stunned expression!

Giggling!

Shen Miaomiao lifted her jade-like pink feet, using her toes to gently push Gu Sheng's dropped jaw closed.

"Be careful, dislocated jaws hurt,"

Shen Miaomiao said playfully:

"Shen Capital has investnts in record companies, so we have so connections in entertainnt,"

"I ntioned our request, turns out Old Lin is also a gaming addict, a dedicated APEX player,"

"Plus this project is purely for charity,"

"So he imdiately agreed to perform as a special favor."

Gu Sheng was floored!

You call this 'so connections'?

And this is a 'special favor performance'!

JJ Lin didn't even charge money!

This is insane!

"Oh right!"

Shen Miaomiao suddenly got up and ran barefoot into her room, returning shortly to jump on the sofa and hand Gu Sheng an exquisitely packaged CD:

"This is JJ's limited edition signed 20th anniversary debut CD, he gave it to you, and..."

Then.

She took out another long box containing an APEX group poster:

"He wants your autograph too, just sign and mail it to his studio."

Holy shit—

This series of shocks made Gu Sheng's scalp tingle!

Old Lin gives a CD, I give Old Lin my autograph?!

Huh?

Am I this aweso now?

"Wait let process this... give a mont..."

Gu Sheng stood up, ruffled his hair, and paced around the sofa.

anwhile!

The ending song changed again!

Around JJ's performance footage appeared the ga's concept art—

Original drawings of John and Xiao Xi from childhood to old age, the lighthouse under starry skies, origami rabbits, ugly platypuses...

And photos of Gu Sheng explaining things to Shen Miaomiao pointing at screens...

Monts of them back-to-back pondering proposals...

Their cheerful victory signs in front of first draft screens...

From project inception to planning to completion...

Every mont preserved in photos...

["I want to see you just want to see you

Past or future I just want to see you

Through thousands of tilines

Finding each other in the crowd—

Using all logic and sches

Solving love's hardest riddle

Could you be waiting like

For that 'I do'—"]

Finally!

Amid the tear-jerking ending song!

All images gradually faded, replaced by Golden Wind's logo.

After the logo, solemn white text appeared on black screen, dignified and full of ceremony—

["Director——"]

["SamGu＆MiiaShen"]

["Golden Wind"]

["Presents"]

["To the Moon"]

Silence.

A mont of silence!

Seeing Gu Sheng speechless, Shen Miaomiao stood up grinning and patted his shoulder: "What's wrong Old Gu! So touched right! My ending song is..."

Before she finished!

Gu Sheng turned and pulled her into a hug!

"Huh?"

"Unceremonious hug,"

Gu Sheng's gentle voice ca, soft like a river under moonlight:

"I love this surprise, love it."

Face buried in Gu Sheng's shoulder, Shen Miaomiao felt her face burn!

Murmuring softly: "Love... it?"

"Love it." Gu Sheng answered without hesitation.

"Just... love the ending song...?"

Shen Miaomiao eyes tightly shut, mumbling mosquito-like:

"Nothing... else?"

"Like what?" Gu Sheng's voice soft, seemingly expectant.

"Like... like..."

Shen Miaomiao rubbed her head shyly against Gu Sheng's shoulder:

"Like... cough... um..."

"Like don't you love JJ's limited edition global CD?"

"I—cough—cough—"

Gu Sheng almost choked:

"Love—love that too."

"Then... good!"

Separating, Shen Miaomiao's normally pale ears were now red as blood:

"I... suddenly sleepy! Going to wash up! Good... night!"

With that!

Without looking back, she fled to the bathroom like a startled animal.

Clicking the lock behind her, Shen Miaomiao saw her reflection!

Heart pounding, dizzy—for a mont she thought she'd explode!

...

Blood sugar explosion!!!

Right now!

From players to viewers!

Everyone's blood sugar exploded!

"What's this! What's this! Hey! Hey! This sweetness level is off the charts!!!"

In Ayin's stream, the boss pointed at the screen with gossipy excitent!

"Damn—! Ahhh I'm dead! Dead bros! Quick! Get cent to seal my heart!"

In Zhou Jie's stream, she scratched her head madly grinning like a lon-field jumping weasel!

"Ah... this is truly the best pixel ga I've played... can't take it ah..."

In Maxiao's stream, Laosao cried and laughed while clapping!

Strears beca shipping experts, viewers scread—

'A-Wei is dead! A-Wei is dead!!!'

'This ending made cry! So touching!'

'CEO Ou! Amazing! This ga was co-designed by CEO Ou and the writer!!!'

'JJ's performance, CEO Ou and writer co-design, perfection! Bros perfection!!!'

'Quick! Insulin! I'm dying!'

'Test results: sugar water with not a drop of blood'

'Best pixel RPG ever, who agrees?'

'This ending is incredible! Must be CEO Ou's idea! The writer isn't this thoughtful!'

'Lock them in! Throw the key in the ocean!'

'Been shipping writer and CEO Ou since Overcooked, hehe, hehe...'

'Fun fact: Little Huang staff already ship them—since writer loves vinegar and CEO Ou loves garlic they're called the Laba Garlic Couple (don't ask how I know)'

'Laba Garlic Couple LOL'

'So weird yet fitting for Little Huang's CP'

'Weird but makes sense for Little Huang'

'Woo hoo! Laba Garlic Couple!'

'Locked in!'

'...'

"Hehe..."

At this mont, a burly man chuckled as he withdrew his hands from the keyboard, satisfied seeing the barrage-filled screen.

Then.

Ding dong.

A WeChat ssage arrived.

Opening it read:

["Lu Bian: Da Jiang you're so cruel! Spamming that stupid CP na in every stream? Are you human???"]
