Being held grudge by Ni Shuihan's intelligent NPC makes me feel bad...

"Ni Shui Han", which was the first to be launched on PC, has the reputation of "a breathing world", which attracts many fans of martial arts games and has become one of the popular IPs for domestic high-quality martial arts games. The game is endorsed by Wen Rui'an's three novel series: "Who is the Hero?", "Chivalrous Heroes of China", and "Four Famous Catchers", and uses exquisite 3D graphics to restore a vivid world of rivers and lakes.

With the high popularity of "Ni Shui Han", the mobile game version is also about to be released, and the testing activities are also in full swing. At the beginning of the second beta test of the mobile game version, it also attracted a lot of attention from players. The number of reservations on the entire network once exceeded 30 million, and it has been on the Weibo hot search list many times. At the same time, on the first day of the second test server, there were situations such as highly crowded servers and "queues to enter the game."

As for those who haven’t caught up with the second beta, you can wait for the open beta on June 30.

After experiencing it for a few days, Xiaolei had some opinions of his own about the game "Nishuihan Mobile Game".

When "Jianghu Novel" It is actually not difficult to be a "Jianghu" with high-end game-level graphics. There are many excellent domestic martial arts novels, and they will often become "reference texts" for game developers. And through special design and adaptation, it is made into a "playable storybook". However, if you want Jianghu to "breathe", in addition to restoring the Jianghu in the novel, you also need to achieve enough details in terms of texture, freedom, storytelling, variability, etc.

The production team must be all "details freaks", so "Backwater Cold" was dubbed "The Breathing Jianghu".

The screen is the "facade" of the mobile game and is where the player opens the game After the first contact part. How well the picture can be rated almost determines the "first impression" of the game in the player's mind. "Backwater" was born as a PC game and is famous for its cutting-edge graphics technology. It also retains many graphic details on the mobile terminal and will not significantly compromise on image quality due to the performance of the mobile platform.

In the mobile version, we can also see three-dimensional light and shadow, Lush woods, well-proportioned ancient buildings, towns under the rainy sky, and textured water surfaces... "Backwater Cold Mobile Game" still vividly depicts the territory of the rivers and lakes taken from the Song Dynasty. Judging from the various depictions of the screen, I think it is not much inferior to the PC version of "Nishuihan". The expression of some landscape scenes is also more "fairy". The look and feel is still very pleasing, and you can complete the tasks well. I couldn’t help but find a place to “check in”.

The most admirable thing is that NetEase is comparable to the "Nuan Nuan" level The character pinches the face, and the understanding of the texture of the satin fabric.

# I believe that everyone who has played NetEase games is already familiar with NetEase’s face pinching system. As long as you are willing to put more thought and time into character creation, there is no problem if you want to create a unique "ideal type" of your own. In addition, the texture performance of satin fabrics can be regarded as a highlight of "Backwater Cold Mobile Game". Under the high-definition picture quality, the textures of the characters' clothes are complex, and the reflection and texture are well done, giving it a sense of sight as real clothes.

The character portrayal is also very delicate, so thin that even hair can be seen .

If you really don’t want to spend time pinching faces, you can also choose to download solutions shared by other players, or quickly generate them through the AI ​​smart face pinching function.

At first, Xiao Lei was still somewhat resistant to the new game. , but in the end I accepted the "Nishuihan Mobile Game" and went online to run the map and complete tasks every day.

Unfortunately, Xiaolei’s iPad Pro cannot achieve the coexistence of ultimate picture quality and high frame rate for the time being, but it can obtain as high-definition and smooth pictures as possible on the simulator, and there is no need to adjust the button mapping, obviously. Officially optimized separately. As for "Nishuihan Mobile Game", it is mainly based on mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablets, which can provide better display effects and add points to the experience.

But, in the game I think there is still room for improvement in the character's standby actions, and the developers need to spend more time perfecting the transitions in action.

With the blessing of AI, NPCs can also become "spirits" one day

The official seems to be interested in "Breathing Jianghu" I am very persistent and hope to bring more variability to "Nishuihan Mobile Game".

No kidding, Xiao Lei I am a traditional person who has not kept up with the times. I have never experienced any high-tech related to AI. On the one hand, I am lazy, and on the other hand, a series of "environment construction" such as account application is quite troublesome. When I heard about the built-in AI technology for smart NPCs in Ni Shui Han Mobile Game, my first reaction was that NetEase was trying to play with the concept.

#This time NetEase has incorporated intelligence into the NPCs of the game.

Generally speaking, the NPC behaviors and voices in most large-scale games are arranged in advance by the developers and written in the data package. Regardless of whether there is an online update later, the NPC will only "step by step" work. After the player clears the level, the NPC's final "destination" is to become a "drench" in the game scene. Even if the player has nothing to do and goes to talk to an NPC, the content is set at the beginning of the game.

Considering the size of the game, game manufacturers will rarely provide too much for NPCs. Multi-function and "play". After clearing the main plot of an open world game, there are only endless activities and tasks left, which Xiaolei finds very boring.

At this time, AI-empowered smart NPCs come into play. When you find some NPCs with dialogue bubbles near Bianjing Hongqiao, you can trigger chat by approaching them and interacting. For example, if this "Zhu Dachang" encounters a happy event and wants to share it with you, you can have a real-time conversation with the NPC through the chat box in the lower left corner of the screen, follow the topic, or say something to anger him. See all The user’s “linguistic charm”.

##(Picture from Lei Technology)

"Zhu Dachang" is a rough person who likes to retaliate when he is unhappy. If you persuade it to "be good" at this time, then it will reply with words such as "Just this time, not next time." On the contrary, you can also follow him and teach the person who robbed his business, and you can even ask him for some "reward".

What is 200 taels of silver? I don’t know whether the calculation unit will actually be given after the deed is completed. In short, good people should not help others do bad things.

(Picture from Lei Technology)

When a poor NPC on the street is set on fire by you After losing its hair, it will run to the river and jump into the river to "put out the fire". Those who know water skills will go ashore and run back to their original positions. Those who don't know water skills will "die" and wait for refresh and reset. However, these NPCs are quite "vindictive" and know that you have burned their hair. If you initiate a chat, they will settle old scores.

Do you think a simple apology is enough? The answer is wrong. If you don't apologize properly, the NPC will "never forgive you." Of course, the choice is up to the player, whether to use force to solve the problem or to sincerely apologize and satisfy the NPC's "needs".

(Picture from Lei Technology)

Xiao Lei’s suggestion is to be friendly and make money. If you have a good chat, it might be okay. Get some supplies from NPCs.

These intelligent NPCs also have a "random event" design between them. Bickering and quarrels between two NPCs often occur, and players can also join the chat at this time to "comment" on the farce between them. All in all, whether he is following the NPC's wishes or teasing according to his own ideas, Xiao Lei feels that it is much more fun than simply running the map and fighting.

(Picture from Lei Technology)

It’s just that the current version has freedom There are not many NPCs with dialogue functions. Most NPCs still have mechanical dialogues. It depends on the official improvement in the later stage. After all, it is not a small project to make all NPCs in the world have unique personality designs and language models.

This is not all, free dialogue design has also been added to the adventure exploration missions. The blind date of the six door guards Yi may be the best explanation of "fate is wonderful".

(Picture from Lei Technology)

Adventure events are all triggered by probability, and players need to pay more attention to the things on the screen Speech bubble.

(Picture from Lei Technology)

It’s interesting to say that Wei Yi’s “marriage” itself It was introduced by colleagues from Liumen, but in fact the blind date was a woman named "Bai Yu" whom Wei Yi met many years ago. Meeting old friends always causes farce. Wei Yi himself has a relatively low "emotional intelligence" and always makes Bai Yu angry. When they quarrel, he hides away and sulks. As a player, you need to act as a "peacemaker" between two people to enliven the atmosphere, or express your own opinions to help the two reconcile.

## (Picture from Lei Technology)

Although in the end they would still quarrel and have a cold war... In fact, Wei Yi was still interested in Bai Yu, but he was not good at expressing it. When the drunken man and the officers and soldiers were causing trouble unreasonably, he still took action to protect him. White language.

How about it? If I hadn't said it was a mission, you might have thought I was reading a novel.

Most of the adventures in Adventure Exploration are relatively daily storylines in the world, and indeed there are traces of AI implementation. This form has almost never appeared in other games, which greatly improves the playability, and the dialogue content is not It would be too mechanical, and it would not make the size of the game uncontrollable.

AI still has many uses in the game, such as random commissions. I hope the official can explore more.

The original intention of gaming and entertainment is to be careless and tolerant

Once people get older, they should accept new things ability will be weakened, and interest in new games will also be reduced.

Everyone knows that playing games is very tiring. I have invested several years into it today, working for the company during the day and working for the game at night. Changing to a new game means retraining your account. That's what Xiaolei is like. Once he's been into one game for too long, he basically won't consider another one, or he won't spend too much time on other games.

"Nishuihan Mobile Game" broke my inherent understanding of online games as both exciting and exciting.

Responsibly speaking, the game has been in beta for 3 days, and my online time has not exceeded 6 hours. My character has been upgraded to level 62. The main missions and the equipment revealed are sufficient, at least for these few days. In my experience, I have never encountered a combat bottleneck. If it is an open world game, once the character's parameters do not match the world level, it will be very difficult to fight monsters. Either the level will be stuck, or you will have to constantly update the character's equipment and item combinations.

(Picture from Lei Technology)

Xiao Lei has not seen it in "Nishuihan Mobile Game" There are too many "utilitarian" shadows, and there is no such thing as "you can't play without recharging money". Good equipment can be obtained by completing tasks and certain activities. Later, you can use resources to upgrade and strengthen it, which will bring great benefits to the 0 Krypton Party. No small amount of confidence. NetEase is using the banner of "not selling data at all" this time. If it can stick to it to the end, it must be a good thing.

(Picture from Lei Technology)

The so-called "different paths to the same destination" mechanism probably means that no matter how the player manages the character , the final result is to become stronger.

Speaking of recharging money, most of the things that need to be recharged are in dressing up. In fact, you can get a lot of good-looking costumes just through tasks and other means. Whether to recharge money or not depends on the player's mood. Of course, the battle pass also has some nice-looking costumes.

## (Picture from Lei Technology)

So how do manufacturers make money? ? It is said that advertisements will be reasonably embedded in the game in the future, and the money earned will be the money of the sponsor's father, so the intensity of krypton gold will also be smaller.

Regarding the operation of this game, Xiaolei thinks it is relatively easy to get started. "Nishuihan Mobile Game" has a total of 7 professions (one is not available yet), including melee, long-range, auxiliary and other positions. Different professions have their own characteristics. Xiaolei likes to be close and tough, so he chose the assassin role of "Broken Dream". Although "Nishuihan Mobile Game" is an RPG type, it actually incorporates elements of ACT action games into the combat scenes, and the fighting experience is good.

Characters have a variety of skills and talent point designs, among which skills can be selected from 5 combinations out of 8 skills according to the player's habits, giving players plenty of room for customization. As a auxiliary attack method, elemental attacks can be used to break the shields of certain bosses.

(Picture from Lei Technology)

Uh... ..Although elemental attacks are usually used more often to "persecute" NPCs...

Although open world games pay great attention to sociality, there are often a large number of players in the same scene to interact with, and you can Challenge various copies together. However, for friends who just want to play the game quietly by themselves, they are not willing to form a team. If you choose to enter the instance alone, the game will arrange an NPC to accompany you, and a single player can also "paddle" through the level.

##(Picture from Lei Technology)

The gameplay itself is also There are many, including horizontal version of barrage shooting, horizontal version of action breakthrough, etc., combined with oriental characteristics elements, each copy can give a refreshing feeling.

(Picture from Lei Technology)

Xiao Lei once had this My experience is that when matching multiplayer dungeons, some players will dislike your character level and equipment, and then leave the team. Although this is normal and players have the right to choose to leave the team, when you encounter this kind of situation, you should be in a bad mood.

It just so happens that the single-player matching mechanism of "Nishuihan Mobile Game" meets the needs of "social phobia people" for their own entertainment.

Summary

After experiencing it for the past few days, Xiaolei finally discovered the core of "Nishuihan Mobile Game" Rather, it hopes to allow players to see a vivid world scene with rich story lines and emphasize scene exploration and "sightseeing", rather than letting players complete "KPIs" in the game every day like workers.

You can also find from some plot dialogues that some dialogue options require players to talk to NPCs and explore scenes more before they can be unlocked. Exploration and high degree of freedom are the essence of open world games. . Activities that are frequently explosive are not the best way to retain players. They are just "work content".

Various novel gameplays such as Jianghu identity, manor, and Jianghu are mixed in one game, which greatly weakens the proportion of fighting scenes. Qinggong, which extends from martial arts novels, also makes the entire sightseeing process more free and enjoyable.

Xiao Lei only spends a little time on tasks and tasks online these days. In the dungeon, the rest is immersed in running the map, exploring scenes, adventures and mini-games, looking for some new ways to play. There is no shackles of activities or tasks, and there is no rush to complete certain "targets". The overall game is very relaxing. Therefore, "Nishuihan Mobile Game" is not an open world game in the traditional sense, but more like a "daily simulator" with a high degree of freedom. Personally, I am very interested in playing it.

(Picture from Lei Technology)

"Backwater Cold Mobile Game" depicts the various scenes of the market in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", and uses a series of stories to tell players that there is no "savior" in the world, and players are all ordinary people among them, even if they have done something extraordinary. The heroic dream of Shaojianghu is still inseparable from ordinary daily life in the end.

To be honest, Xiaolei feels that there are still many areas that need to be improved and perfected in "Nishuihan Mobile Game", but these are already a topic for later. I dare not mess with whether it can truly make MMO great again. Conclusion, but as long as fans of martial arts games like it, then this game is already a success.
