Chapter 294: Chapter 189 This Ga is Not So Good (Second Update)_2
“`
Sitting crossed-legged in front of the television, Eric held the controller and stared at the screen for a while before nodding and saying, “The opening scene is great, a simple dynamic screen sets the tone of the ga right away. It’s a horror ga, but the only one that ever scared was ‘Ominous Sign’, and that was when I was seven. Alright, enough talk, let’s get into the ga.”
Choosing to start the ga, Eric found that as the mist cleared, the protagonist woke up on a bed.
When Eric saw the scene in front of him, he was dumbfounded for a good long while, staring at the screen intently.
To get a better gaming experience, he used a 100-inch ultra-clear, high-refresh-rate, widescreen TV. Most gas at this distance looked all pixelated, but good gas could be seen much more clearly.
He thought that if ‘Heavenly Demon’ was free of pixels, that would be a success, but now that he saw the actual graphics, Eric felt he might have underestimated Fang Cheng Studio.
He already knew that people from the East were hardworking, but he had not expected them to go to such lengths.
Every now and then, so Black Tech would pop up from the region, but he never imagined that today he would witness such a qualitative leap.
“The mysterious East…”
On the screen, the 3D modeling was lifelike, the ga’s ray tracing was as dazzling as real life, and the micro-expressions of the surrounding NPCs seed as though they could be discerned through the screen.
Although he knew that graphics aren’t the sa as gaplay, just by looking at the graphics, Eric felt that his fifty Euros were well spent.
And when he actually started moving, he thought about Fang Cheng Studio’s background again, but still ca up empty.
That shouldn’t be right…
The character’s movent felt outstanding. The graphics, motion details, and control feedback all worked together to give the character on Eric’s screen a strong sense of imrsion.
This was not the effect of technology accumulation alone, but should be the result of years of experience in the action field.
He shouldn’t have never heard of a company with such technology before.
However, Eric quickly cast his confusion aside.
Because the ga was just too thrilling.
Usually, during the recording of his show, he would talk a lot to spark viewers’ interest, so they would want to watch his ads, making the audience happy and the publishers satisfied.
But today, he didn’t want to say a word.
Although it was a ga with an Eastern the, and he had no concept of “Cultivation” before, not understanding the concepts of refining essence into Qi, Qi into spirit, spirit returning to the void, and rging the void with the Dao, it didn’t prevent him from finding it enjoyable.
Authentic translations made it easy for him to accept the related settings, and the exotic Eastern culture filled him with a sense of novelty.
Especially when he discovered that people could obtain extraordinary powers without the help of Gods, without mutations, lineage, or technology, he beca intensely curious about the so-called thods of cultivation and began to travel in the world of ‘Heavenly Demon’.
His character was not a hero from the start; his journey was not a Hollywood-style hero’s journey. The protagonist was clear from the beginning about what they wanted to do and set out resolutely to follow their own heart.
Playing up to this point, Eric stopped, then said to the cara, “A very curious protagonist. Many of our gas are about role-playing, striving to get us into the ga. But ‘Heavenly Demon’ is different; it has created an almost perfect protagonist and makes us imagine that we are him. I’m not saying who is better or worse, but I want to say, I appreciate this innovation.”
After that, he continued playing.
Eric didn’t play fast; he spent most of his ti attempting interactions with the environnt, and the possibilities of interaction astonished him.
The whole ga had its complete physical system. So thods of interaction seed bizarre, but they ford their own coherent system.
Although it was a bit baffling at first, like why that pigeon was so huge, and why the people around were indifferent to it.
A mysterious energy, Spiritual Energy, governed the cycle of the whole world, and everything circulated with Spiritual Energy, encapsulating the Eastern philosophy of harmony between heaven and humanity.
However, Spiritual Energy would concentrate in so places. The huge pigeons were a manifestation of this concentration of Spiritual Energy, but they were clever and wise. Therefore, they were accepted into the village.
“`
Understanding this, Eric beca even more curious about the ga’s setting.
The ga opened with the ssage that the world was sick, the Spiritual Energy was still there, but in so places, it had been polluted and terrifying Demons could be born at any mont.
Even though the Sect was leaving, they thoughtfully left behind magical weapons and other items to help the protagonist learn and improve before they left.
The childhood friend next door also knew so thods of utilizing Spiritual Energy. Whenever the protagonist got hurt after subduing Demons, the childhood friend would co over to heal him without charging a fee.
The villagers in the village were kind and friendly. When they found out the protagonist needed so weapons for protection, the blacksmith at the village entrance imdiately crafted a long sword for him, making Eric feel sowhat embarrassed.
The ga also had a currency system, but within this community, there wasn’t much need to spend money. It seed that everyone sincerely treated the protagonist as one of their own and provided support to the best of their abilities.
At this point, Eric stopped playing again.
“Collectivism, huh… Although many people don’t have a good impression of collectivism, after so recent events, we have to admit that it’s the best system to resist natural disasters. We’ve always felt that we were too arrogant, to the point that we fail to see a lot of the right things… Sorry, I digressed again. Let’s continue the ga.”
It didn’t take long for Eric to get the hang of the ga. He knew all the settings by heart and, even though he wasn’t playing fast, he hadn’t enjoyed a ga this much in a long ti.
The ga wasn’t frightening. On the contrary, it was quite leisurely. The only terrifying aspect seed to be the polluted creatures in the wilderness—so monsters were covered with eyes, and others were simply made of arms, which could make anyone’s sanity plumt just by looking at them.
However, compared to them, Eric felt that the protagonist seed more like a monster.
The protagonist was incredibly powerful, able to ascend to the heavens and burrow into the ground. The monsters in front of him were no match, not scary except perhaps a bit ugly.
Besides combat, he could go fishing or blacksmithing. Various interesting minigas were woven throughout, making him feel that the ga shouldn’t be called “Heavenly Demon” but rather “Cultivation Simulator.”
Just as he was about to make a set of clothes for his childhood friend, the alarm clock rang.
“Two hours already? This ga really… takes a lot of ti.”
With reluctance, Eric put down the controller and picked up his cara to check the materials for his live stream.
This ti, the footage he recorded wasn’t up to standard.
Usually, he would continuously talk about related content so that even if viewers weren’t watching the video, they could listen to what was being said and could enjoy his program while driving.
But today, he had been completely imrsed in “Heavenly Demon” and hardly said a few words, making his gaming video seem sowhat dull.
Having no choice, he edited and did voiceovers repeatedly, each ti almost deciding to stop and go back to playing for a while, but ultimately he held back.
He was busy until midnight before he finally uploaded the completed show, announcing he would make this ga into a series until he finished it.
Not long after the video was released, he saw a ssage from one of his loyal fans.
[Eric, are you playing “Heavenly Demon” too?]
[Yeah, I think it’s a great ga, very comfortable to play. I took a comrcial order, but I feel this ga is worth playing. Top ten of the year, no problem.]
[Have you watched other people’s gaplay videos or guides?]
[No, you know my habit. After I take a comrcial order, I won’t watch other people’s gas or guides.]
[I respect your habit, so I won’t say much, but with “Heavenly Demon,” just stop playing when you reach a certain point. Especially when you notice sothing is not right, stop imdiately!]
[…Why?]
[Don’t ask, just play for another hour at your pace, but don’t go any further, okay? I have to go, I’m running out of ti, and I have to play the ga—I need to find a possibility. Goodbye.]
Watching the concerned fan go, Eric felt a chill run up his spine, giving him a sense of fear as if the ga was encroaching upon reality.
