Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 489: A Premonition of a State Banquet

"What the hell am I even playing?!!!"

Exploded!

Gu Sheng really couldn't understand why Ubsoft in his previous life removed such an interesting AI like the suicide bomber in subsequent updates.

He actually thought the suicide bomber was quite fun.

So in this life, in this imrsive R6.

He added the suicide bomber back in.

The suicide bomber exploded.

And Big Bro exploded too.

[Ding! Detected blood pressure exceeding limits, heart rate exceeding limits... You have been automatically disconnected from the imrsive link!]

Disconnected on the spot from being blown up!

What the hell kind of shooting ga do you call this?!

Whose shooting ga designs a segnt like this?!

I! Watched! The suicide bomber walk towards ! And then the mont the perspective switched back! He instantly detonated!

Damn!!!

Big Bro was practically scared to the point of vomiting!

God knows, with the combined power of Golden Wind's "AI tuning," "visual rendering," "sound effect crafting" and Yiyou's "full sensory assistance" four top-tier technologies, just how impactful being point-blank suicide bombed was!

Don't anyone brag!

With this thing, on a first encounter, whoever gets blown up will disconnect!

The viewers were absolutely losing it—

Holy shit—hahahahahahaha—

"Suicide bomber, holy crap! This is way too hellish!

Laughing so hard I'm gonna puke hahahahaha...

I never would have imagined a ga focused on multiplayer online competitive shooting could also disconnect soone by killing them."

"That's the flavor! So much the right flavor! This is the Little Yellow I'm familiar with!"

"Please, Old Thief, be a human! This is way too an!"

"Old Thief: Be human? Not a single bit!"

"It even scared the hell out of !"

"Probably gonna give Big Bro straight-up PTSD hahahahaha..."

"Mainly its sound effect is just too damn terrifying, that hissing sound..."

"Let's not play anymore, Big Bro! Let's not take this abuse hahahahahahaha..."

"The most entertaining episode ever."

"Laughed silly."

......

....

Over here!

Big Bro A 's battle of wits against the AI in the real-life training continued.

And on the other side!

Qiezi, Donggua, XTT, Liu Di, and Old Ma, the five of them, had already skipped the real-life training, gathered as a team, and were ready to start fighting!

After all, this ga was still primarily about multiplayer battles.

And these five were practically top-tier strears in the shooter ga zone.

For a mont, their livestream chats were incredibly lively, their popularity soaring past hundreds of millions.

"Wait... we're starting already? I haven't even finished looking at all the operators' skills yet!"

In the voice chat, XTT's voice rang out.

Hearing this, Qiezi spoke up carelessly and nonchalantly:

"Hey—what's there to look at? Play more and you'll figure out what all the skills are! I haven't looked either, let's just do it, co on, join the group!"

The livestream chat erupted in laughter—

"Gotta be my Brother Qie, knows nothing except going in guns blazing (dog head)."

"He's not wrong though, play more (die more) and you'll figure out what skills the operators have."

"Practice yields true knowledge, as they say."

"《Blind Play》."

"God damn blind play hahahahaha..."

"Why do I have a feeling sothing's gonna go wrong?"

"I have a premonition of a national banquet."

"Recording group ready, this blind play is absolutely gonna have explosive entertainnt value."

"Just charging in completely clueless about the skills, I can't even imagine what kind of insane stunts they'll pull."

"Here's sothing even scarier—the opponents they match against now are probably 80% also haven't looked at skills, since the ga just launched."

"Hahahahahahaha right, damn, that's perfect..."

"It's hard to imagine just how chaotic the scene will beco."

"It's here! Damn! Match found so fast!"

"Golden Wind's player base never lacks reckless daredevils?"

"Since we're gonna fall into Old Thief's traps anyway, might as well pump stamina to 40 first."

"Hahahaha pumping stamina to 40 is too hilarious..."

"Idiotic tough guys..."

......

Amidst the viewers' excited discussions!

*Boom boom!*

Drumbeats sounded!

What could be called the earliest match since the ga's full launch, thus began!

Just as the viewers said!

Right now, the ga hadn't even been live for ten minutes.

The opponents matched at this ti were, nine tis out of ten, definitely also players who hadn't looked at skills, either hidden dragons or phoenixes.

Everyone was picking characters purely on instinct, and so players didn't even have instinct, they just thought a skill looked interesting, or a character looked cool, and picked them casually.

Under these circumstances, there wasn't much to elaborate on for either side's preparation phase.

The map was 【Consulate】.

The ga mode was the most traditional 【Bomb Defusal】 mode—

The defending side needed to hold the sites, protecting the safety of the devices at points A and B within the ti limit; while the attacking side needed to choose a site to assault, plant the defuser to destroy the devices at points A and B to win.

In form, it was no different from conventional FPS battle gas. The only slight difference was that in R6, due to the complex map construction, usually, a map's A and B points had four possible site combinations.

For example, second floor A/B points, first floor A/B points, basent A/B points, first & second floor combined A/B points, etc.

In ranked mode, the site combination was chosen by defender vote; in casual mode, it was randomly selected by the system.

And in this casual match!

The strear team, as defenders, randomly got the first-floor combination site—Foyer and Press Room (2A/2B).

"Holy crap, we're done for, isn't this site way too hard to defend?"

Just looking at the map overview, XTT couldn't help but complain:

"That Foyer point is directly facing the main south entrance, won't the attackers just waltz in and plant?"

"Then pick soone who can block them,"

Liu Di offered advice:

"See if there's sothing that can block the enemy, stop them from coming in so fast?"

"Block the enemy, right... let see..."

Hearing this, XTT quickly browsed through the defender operators.

The viewers were utterly speechless—

"Are you seriously looking it up now?"

"Damn, you guys are absolutely incredible..."

"Hahahahaha sharpening your spear right before battle?"

"Exactly like during an open-book exam?"

"Even if you're told to find the answer in the book, you'd still have to flip through it for ages, right?"

"You guys should find a proper job, stop counter-terrorism, it's embarrassing."

"《Intern Special Forces》."

"God damn intern special forces, that's too hilarious..."

"Hahahahahahaha..."

"I'm completely dumbfounded..."

......

"Hey! Got it! I'll take this one!"

After so searching, XTT actually found an operator that looked pretty good—

【CASTLE (Armor Panel)】

Skill: "Installs bulletproof armor panels with higher resistance than standard barricades."

Basically, it replaces the wooden planks used to barricade windows and doors with armored panels that can't be easily smashed, effectively hindering enemy assault.

"Nice! If you're putting it that way, I think I found a good one too!"

Before the words even finished!

Over there, Liu Di, like a noodle shop owner suddenly inspired to make a bowl of Iron Bull beef noodles, had a flash of inspiration:

"I'll take this one—"

【KAPKAN (Entry Denial Device)】

Skill: "Sets explosive traps on window fras and door fras."

Laser trip mines that instantly detonate once an attacker walks through, specially designed to deal with the blind and reckless rushers.

"Aweso aweso aweso..."

XTT was very satisfied with his and General Di's picks:

"If we stack these at the entrance, there's no way they're getting in."

And as the two conversed!

The other three had also each chosen their preferred operators.

Qiezi chose 【DOC (Doctor)】, skill: "Fires dicinal syringes from a distance using a stim pistol to heal self or teammates, can also provide temporary overheal."

In simple terms, it's a healing gun that can provide an overheal shield.

Donggua chose 【PULSE (Heartbeat Sensor)】, skill: "Detects enemy heartbeats through obstacles at short range using a heartbeat sensor."

Basically, a short-range wallhack.

As for Old Ma, he chose 【SMOKE (Toxic Gas)】, skill: "Throws and deploys remotely detonated toxic gas grenades."

Gas grenades, slows and damages health, extrely annoying.

The five of them finalized their operator selections!

The match began!

Since these impatient people essentially skipped the tutorial and jumped straight into "going on a rampage,"

Everything had to start from scratch.

Don't even ntion operations that required so understanding to perform, like "peeking through barricades," "opening foot holes," "vertical defense," "reinforcing hatches," "electrifying walls to prevent breaching."

Just "using skills" and "learning the map" were enough to keep them busy for a good while.

"Let see what this skill ans... hey WDNMD why did I just inject myself! Wasted it, dammit..."

"Mine is... (bzzz—) Damn, this gadget is aweso! Just screw it onto the door fra with a drill?"

"—What is this thing? Why doesn't it explode when I throw it... (—) Hey hey hey! Oops oops sorry sorry wasn't on purpose..."

"Damn! Hey! Brother Qie! Look at mine, it's like a cara! Hahahahaha..."

*Bang—Crash—!!!*

In the corridor connecting the two sites, the group tried out their skills one after another, with all sorts of antics.

And XTT went straight to the main south entrance, pried open the original wooden barricade as prompted, then pulled out a roll of armored panel that looked like a shutter door from his interdinsional tactical pack, and re-fastened it with a nail gun.

*Thump thump!*

He knocked on the re-fastened armor panel. The dull, solid sound pleased XTT greatly:

"This is aweso."

As he spoke!

XTT also pulled the trigger of his shotgun—

*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*

The armor panel didn't budge!

Bulletproof armor!

"Let's see who can get through this now!"

However, just as he was about to turn back to see if there were any other places that needed barricading,

Suddenly.

XTT heard a buzzing sound of a motor starting up right beneath his feet!

Imdiately after, two little gadgets that looked like big black rats scurried past right by his feet!

"Hey—!"

*Bang! Bang!*

As everyone knows!

In shooting gas, XTT's reactions are sotis even faster than his brain.

Aiming and shooting are practically muscle mory for him.

With a startled cry!

One drone was instantly flipped over by XTT, and only then did his brain's language system finally catch up with his reaction speed:

"Damn! Hey! Drones! The attackers are scouting us! Quick quick quick! Shoot the drones! You get points!"

*Bang bang bang!*

For a mont, the entire first floor of the Consulate beca lively, the few of them chasing after the drones, having a blast.

anwhile, Old Ma wandered alone down to the basent, thinking he'd familiarize himself with the map...
