"From the trailer alone, this DLC is absolutely worth buying at RMB 78. Go rewatch the previous DLC's trailer and you'll see that I'm right. That's right. They spared no effort in the character design and modeling in this upcoming DLC. The difference is huge! Who knows, which superstar did Feng Huo Gaming Company rope in…"
"I think there can be no debate on what the main questline would be like. It would have everything to do with Yan Qingmeng. Who knew Taoist nuns could be so hot. Knowing how these love simulation games go, I would eat sh*t if we don't get some wholesome fanservice!"
"Knowing sadistic Zha Feng's style, all their DLCs roll in with fixes and patches that almost always fix bugs and exploits. Be prepared to lose your shortcuts. Well, it can't be helped. Rumor has it that Zha Feng often browses through bilibili [1]. With so many superstars owning the game with their endless exploits, you guys should have been f*cking smarter about it! You are clearly reminding him to fix the bugs and to come up with more devious traps!
"What? You called me a superstar? I am not one. I was not showing off when I made those walkthrough videos. I was just showing the easiest way to clear the stage, and to dig out in those hidden details to the limit…"
...
After the Tale of WuXia 3's new DLC, "The Law of Humane Justice" released an announcement, saying that it would focus on PC gaming and streaming optimization around late August. Many uploaders who made walkthrough videos were asked about their views regarding the new DLC. The above had been the response made to his viewers by an uploader named "The Kind Guide Maker" during a live stream.
Many viewers claimed that The Guide Maker was only digging his own grave. Zha Feng had always hidden a million tricks up his sleeves. Aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face when you make such a premature judgment prior to this DLC's release?
"Are you kidding! I have already uncovered so many of old sly Zha Feng's tricks. How could I fall into his traps again? Of course, falling into Zha Feng's traps have always been enjoyable. Maybe we all are masochists. That's right, we totally are… Hahaha. We would drag our balls through the desert for that one moment of accomplishment when you kill a boss and complete a quest. After all, as difficult as the game is, you'll get familiar to the boss once you've died hundreds of times."
"The Kind Guide Maker" was bragging to his viewers in the Zhanqi live-streaming platform's videogame live streaming section. He was just a small live streamer. He was not even particularly skilled. That was why he declined the title - "superstar"– as some viewers had claimed. Rather than live-streaming walkthroughs or gameplays, he was a veteran live streamer when it came to "a million ways to die in Tales of Wuxia."
Perhaps it was his earnestness, or his various cringes and wincing twitches as he go tortured to death, coupled with his unyielding spirit that drew viewers to his streams. He eventually completed the "Tale of Wuxia 3" via sheer perseverance, and firmly believed that this game was a classic amongst the classics. The key factor a player needed was to have a mind and heart of steel. They would have to abandon all thought and hope of survival, and resign to the fact that you can only improve by dying a million times.
He then produced a video about his reviews towards the game and uploaded it to bilibili. This resonated with his kindred spirits who were experts at dying. They would feel that he knew the depth of their hearts to the most intimate detail…
"Actually, once you have played the Wuxia series, you would learn that they are just an extremely well-produced galgame [3] that is disguised as some triple-A title, backed by a massive budget. How could you not understand that the beautiful 18sx CG animation kept us all going? They would feel nothing, even if they die again and again for the girls,""The Kind Guide Maker" had enthusiastically said.
It was no doubt that he was a true fanboy of the series. He knew what the game was trying to convey, and what it really stood for. He even understood the differences between Zha Feng and other game producers. This was the reason behind his intense addiction.
This was the niche appeal that everyone spoke of but never really understood. If they did not have the compatible determination and patience, they would forever remain "viewers" [4]. It would be a pleasant, peaceful experience for them; riding on the displeasure and discomfort of the streamer. It was a win-win situation.
"The Kind Guide Maker" had recently been live-streaming gameplay footage of "Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy." It had other names like "Getting Over It" and "the Yosemite Hammer game." He had been so thoroughly abused that he did not even know how many times he had started over from the beginning. He was so angry to the point that he shaved off his hair and became a baldy!
In the end, that led him to becoming viral. Footage of his rage and anger while playing the game found its way to bilibili. The bullet screen [5] of the video was full of people cracking up!
Such indie games were notoriously difficult. It was not known how many streamers were tortured until they were crazy. Many streamers from the live streaming section had even expressed that after playing the game, they felt that the old sly Zha Feng's large-scaled love simulation and dressing up game was much better.
"The Kind Guide Maker" had a real name, and it was Wu Shun. He often satirized his own name in a way that implied that every gaming endeavor he attempts would surely end in failure. However, weren't the viewers happy to watch his numerous, raging reactions as he fumbles about and experiences death again and again?
Several players truly enjoyed watching him suffer, his pain was their pleasure, his torment their bliss. If people loved watching Ah Yu skillfully slaughtering monsters, others would enjoy watching players like Wu Shun skillfully getting slaughtered…
However, Wu Shun unexpectedly used his immense determination to continuously play the game "Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy" for sixteen hours straight before finally completed it. At that moment, he had been so excited that he almost drop dead!
Players like him would never be able to complete such game in three minutes. Completing it would be enough of an achievement. He had always been self-conscious about his own abilities when it came to the Tale of WuXia series. He would not challenge the impossible, for hard work would never be enough to pass over the hurdle.
Many of his viewers acknowledged his determination, even if he lacked the skills. They were generous in providing him with waves of gifts.
Even so the income received from live streaming hardly mattered. He was a beneficiary of expropriation compensation, [6] anyway. That was sufficient for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life. This left him enough time to play video games 24/7. The only reason he live streamed was to share his experiences with everyone. It did not if this did not earn him a single dime.
"Right now, I feel cute and adorable. I feel pretty good. I should be able to complete the game with my intuition if the DLC of Tales of Wuxia 3 is actually released today. Of course, I will be pursuing that lovely Taoist nun! Okay, let's call it a day for now." With that, Wu Shun stopped his live stream, pleased with himself.
