"Only Wolves" this game everyone even if they have not played, should have heard it.
As the TGA Game of the Year in 2019, it still has a lot of heat. With the exquisite level design and hardcore iron play method of producer Hidetaka Miyazaki, countless players have flocked to it.
In addition, some anchors at that time had broadcast live the suffering process when they played, which accelerated the speed of "Only Wolf" out of the circle, and gave birth to countless dark scenes and terrier culture.
However, most people's first impression of it is still the same as other soul games - too difficult, and it is inevitable that some of the action game players will be discouraged.
But now, if you're given $300,000, you'll have to go through "Only Wolves" in 2 hours blindfolded.
Do you have faith?
Needless to say, at the recently concluded AGDQ2022 Game Express Competition, there was really an older brother named Mitchriz who did this...
He was blindfolded and couldn't see a little screen, but it took him only 2 hours and 55 seconds to complete the "Shura Ending".
You can play through the level with your eyes closed
Before the old man started, he showed the audience its blindfold to make sure that there was no light at all.
Then from the beginning, all the way to the last boss - Rei Na Ichishin.
Look at this last confident nod,
There is a hint of strategy revealed in the pride
In fact, blindfold speed game, is not a new thing, and now it has become the whole live track of many big guys.
As a result, the blindfolded clearance of the world record of "Only Wolves" is not even the above brother.
The Chinese player was "just blind", and it only took 1 hour and 36 minutes to pass the blindfold...
It's just that AGDQ, the old brother, is difficult to broadcast live throughout the whole process, and it is impossible to repeatedly "brush the film", which is still a test of the feel and mental state of the scene.
But no matter what, this is also a game in which normal players have to watch the raiders and have more than 20 hours to pass the level.
Xiaofa studied with the video for half a day that year, just playing one of the bosses, it took more than an hour.
Whoever thinks, this is enough for the big guys to pass the customs for five or six rounds...
"Only Wolf" opened its eyes and passed the world record,
It only takes less than 20 minutes ▼
However, I believe that the most curious thing for poor friends is still "blindfolded to play the game", which is a problem that is out of the spectrum.
In fact, Xiaofa still found a few small tricks by constantly observing the live broadcast playback of this elder brother.
For example, since you can't see the screen, the various sound effects in the game become the only feedback information.
When you're moving forward, if you're not sure where you are on the map, you'll wave the knife in your hand. Because slashing walls, enemies, and air is a completely different sound feedback.
With this point, you can roughly judge whether you have taken the wrong path, and it is somewhat of a martial arts master's taste of listening to the voice and arguing.
When it comes to playing boss, in order to stabilize the speed, you will choose some skipping play.
Like Ichiro Shinichirō, you can use the classic "Carmen Tactics" of the Soul System.
Rush straight to the bottom with your eyes closed, wait for the enemy to fall into the trap, and then brainlessly swing the knife.
It's not hard to watch,
But getting started yourself is another matter
Of course, wolf is not a game that is eaten all over the world. You can't walk sideways like The Witcher III by the New Year's Sword Technique.
At this time, it is still inseparable from the sound effect prompts in the game, like the most familiar "danger" prompts, as long as you grasp it accurately, you can achieve perfect countermeasures.
And before the boss moves, there is often a forward shake action, and the sound effects here are also different.
It can be said that the blindfold pass relies on a "flow of heart" to quietly feel the opponent's every move.
As for the part of the running chart, Xiaofa looked down and really didn't find any tricks. Sensation can only be done through back plate, muscle memory.
For example, when this old brother plays, his mouth is always constantly "counting".
Because it is necessary to calculate in advance which direction the character is facing, take a few steps, walk for a few seconds, and then make up a recipe for this process to facilitate memory.
It sounds similar to when we were children carrying "up and down, left and right BA", but the blindfolded big guys are probably more familiar with the map than the game producers.
The rest of the details are even more terrifying, that is, to remember all the items, map teleportation, game UI menus, etc.
The first few props are the Firecracker Ninja Hand, the first few are the Blood Vials, where is the Hirata Mansion... These must be understood.
Remember one wrong, when you pass the customs, you are doomed to overturn, and the fault tolerance rate is extremely low.
Being able to remember so many things doesn't feel like it's a surprise even to participate in Strongest Brains...
Although it sounds unlikely, after thousands of hours of cultivation, someone still achieved blindfold clearance and raised 30w US dollars from netizens during the live broadcast.
Seeing so much money, dishes such as small hair, there is an impulse to resign and go home to practice fast-tracking.
However, if you are as simple as Xiaofa's idea, then you have to be reminded.
Because AGDQ (Awesome Games Done Quick) is a pure public welfare event, all proceeds from live broadcasting will be donated to charitable organizations such as the Cancer Prevention Foundation.
This may mean that the greater the ability,
The greater the responsibility, the greater the responsibility
Speaking of this, Xiaofa must say two more words and briefly introduce the famous AGDQ Charity Game Express Competition.
Originating in 2010, AGDQ has been running for more than a decade, usually twice a year, and has produced countless speedbox world records.
Even under the epidemic, it is still continuing through online live broadcasting.
The number of tips during the viewing and live streaming process has also increased year by year. In January 2022 alone, more than $3.4 million was donated.
How many game projects does AGDQ set up each year? Usually hundreds and broadcast within a week.
The contestants can be regular players or Twitch streamers.
The point is that it never limits the genre and age of release, and no matter what type of game audience you are, you can find your own fun here.
The wide range of games often makes people say, "Can this also be fast?" Sighs.
For example, if there is a turn-based RPG such as PK Speedcom "Pokémon", Xiaofa feels that it is quite normal.
Even, there is PK Speedpass "Game King"...
Anyway, it's a card game. In case of good luck on the other side during the live broadcast, I will smoke the god, but I can't draw the card I want for a long time, I'm afraid that my mentality will collapse.
Of course, the most interesting part of this game is the various riots when the gods live.
Because when watching the game Express, there are only two kinds of bullet screens: one is "skilled and painful", and the other is "Can you still play like this?" ", often see people's blood spurting, startled jaws.
Like the little brother below, it is simply a horror game "Dead Space 2" and played it into a parkour game. The marksmanship is fast and accurate, from the beginning to the end, do not pick up the defensive equipment, and rush to the end.
As for the mutant monsters that can scare ordinary players into wetting their pants, when they come to him, they are just living targets that stand in the way...
Let's hurry up
And then there's the bearded guy who plays Kona: Bridge of Spirits.
After fighting an enemy, you can immediately predict the refresh location of the next enemy, and then prepare your strength in advance.
Time in their hands, it can be said that there is no waste at all, really skilled heartache.
However, Xiaofa's favorite thing to watch is the big guys' fancy card BUG link.
As we all know, there will always be a bit of bugs in the game. Some affect the balance to destroy the experience, and some are cleverly used by players to develop a variety of quick-pass routines.
For example, if you don't look at the following one, Xiaofa may never know -
In The Legend of Zelda: Triangular Force, by constantly wandering around the edge of the map, you can jump directly from the shore into the river, thus traveling to the map later in the game, greatly reducing the time to break the level.
The original generation of "Total Equipment", which is also an old game, is a stealth combat game, and it is necessary to try not to be discovered by the enemy during the game.
However, through the "body method", you can directly snap into the uninhabited deep space outside the game map.
At this point, even if it is the highest difficulty, no matter how the enemy patrols, he will not find the protagonist Sneek who is wandering outside the map.
Can't afford to play it, right?
The old game has some bugs that are expected, but the new game "Death Loop", which was just released a while ago, was quickly found by the gods.
The big guy successfully blew himself up on the roof by dropping a bomb under his feet, and the physics of the character being knocked away by the explosion.
Originally, I was going to enter from the first floor and slowly knock down the roof, but the result was one step in place to achieve a quick pass.
In addition to this, there are some bugs that are not BUGs.
For example, the "Resident Evil" series developed by Capcom will always change some of the action judgments in the game because of the change of frame rate of the picture.
During the live broadcast, Xiaofa saw the little brother with heavy makeup below, playing, changing the frame rate from 120 FPS to 30 FPS, and then reducing the injury once.
There are countless operations like this in the whole AGDQ, which makes people sigh that the game can still be played like this...
If you're also a game lover, you might as well check out this AGDQ, which will definitely make you look good.
And the atmosphere of the bullet screen comment area is also very good, like usually we can always see, in the bullet screen to point out the "bullet screen god", here there is no one...
People who love to play games come together to challenge the limits of human beings and contribute to society.
Xiaofa can't imagine what could be more romantic than this, and it is a beautiful thing to do such a house.
