Like Quincy, there are many players who are immersed in "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" as soon as "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" is launched.

Including a lot of anchors, although as a 17R game, some special processing is required during the live broadcast, such as delaying for 10 minutes, and skipping directly when some indescribable screens are reached.

But there are still many anchors live broadcasting "The Witcher: Wild Hunt".

As a professional player of Nebula Games, Chen Xu was naturally the first to broadcast the live broadcast of "The Witcher: Wild Hunt".

In the beginning, Chen Xu was actually a little worried. After all, everyone knew about his game skills.

Although it is said that he also successfully cleared "Dark Soul" and "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" later, but it was all by relying on the backplane to survive and die.

So he was still a little scared before getting started with "The Witcher: Wild Hunt". What if it is another poisonous game?

Even though Yang Chen had publicly stated at the press conference before this, the difficulty of this game is not very high, at least on the lowest difficulty.

But before playing the game, Chen Xu actually remained skeptical.

But after getting started with "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", Chen Xu found out that Mr. Yang really didn't lie to himself!

After "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" chooses the simplest mode, the battle can be said to be very simple. As long as you don't want to die and have to fight a group of monsters, it is basically difficult to die.

Just like games with relatively high action elements such as "Dark Soul" and "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" also has the elements of rebound, roll, and dodge.

But it needs to be simpler, with the Quen seal with a high fault tolerance rate, coupled with infinite tumbling, it can be said that as long as it is not a player who has no action element game foundation at all, it is difficult to be in "The Witcher: Wild Hunting". "Inside death.

But what interests Chen Xu most is not just the plot in the game, although every choice, every choice, as if he really became the white wolf Geralt, facing the future and making one by one choose.

But what interested Chen Xu the most were some special mini-games in the game. Of course, it wasn't the special services that Geralt could enjoy after going to some cities.

It was the Gwent card that he first learned in White Orchard. After he mastered this little game, he suddenly felt very addicted.

In the white orchard where the search for Yennefer began,

The first time he came into contact with this little game, he didn't actually pay much attention to it.

But when his story progressed to the Scarlet Baron later, when he was looking for news about the baron's wife and daughter, he unexpectedly discovered in the village that some NPCs could even play Gwent card battles with them.

And not only can play cards, but also some bets, you can get some money from these NPCs if you win, but you have to give some money to these NPCs if you lose.

The rules of the game are also quite simple, that is, to fight for points, whoever wins two first will win. The main gameplay is almost similar to Tian Ji's horse racing.

Use the small cards to play the big cards on the opposite side, and finally win the total victory.

In fact, this is just a small built-in game in the game, just like Texas Hold'em and blackjack in "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption".

But in "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", some NPCs have some particularly cherished Gwent cards on them, and this NPC will disappear permanently after the mission is over.

And these Gwent cards actually have some connection with the main plot, such as the Uma in the Bloody Baron plot, that strange deformed creature, which is related to the existence of Ciri's whereabouts.

And this strange creature called Uma was the bet that the Bloody Baron won with the gwent card.

At first, Chen Xu didn't think it was much fun, but after figuring out how to play the Gwent card, he began to walk on a road of no return.

The Baron's wife and daughter are too lazy to look for it for the time being. His daughter Ciri has been missing anyway and has been hunted by the Wild Hunt for so long. It's not too late. Princess Zelda next door is still trapped in the royal city and struggling hard. What about Ganon?

Finding someone to play cards and collecting all kinds of treasured card groups is the kingly way.

Although your wife ran away with someone else, your child disappeared, and your subordinates betrayed, it doesn't matter, let's play a game of gwent.

Of course, Yang Chen also made some changes. For example, in the important main mission plot, players will not trigger the Gwent card option.

Although it is really good for the effect of playing memes, it is easy to destroy the player's sense of immersion. At the same time, "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" is a game that attaches great importance to the immersion of the plot. .

So in the game, the setting of the Gwent card is more often placed after the end of the plot, or in some other side missions.

For example, in the plot of the Bloody Baron, the baron’s wife was captured by a witch, and his daughter joined a fanatical church. At this time, the option of Gwent card suddenly appeared, and it can be said that there is still a sense of immersion in the plot. A little split.

In the last kick, I was extremely worried about my wife and daughter. As a result, after you proposed to play a game of Gwent, you instantly ignored the safety of your loved ones, saying that he is the strongest player in this area, even after you lost the game. He will also guide you how to play cards earnestly.

As a small game, Gwent is quite interesting, and as a dramatic effect, it is indeed not bad for playing and watching.

But for the immersion of the plot, this is completely counterproductive.

It feels like you are watching a super blockbuster movie like 'The Avengers', just at the moment when the whole hero team is going to fight the final BOSS to the death, a prompt appears telling you that you can enjoy it before watching the final battle' Tom and Jerry'.

While 'Tom and Jerry' is certainly entertaining, there's no doubt that there's some drama involved in this sudden appearance.

However, although some changes have been made, Yang Chen still added some Gwent elements to the game.

For example, some merchants, players can play gwent with them and set bets.

Win some props from the merchants, and if you win too many, the merchants will refuse to play cards with you.

Similarly, if you lose, you have to pay some price, such as money on your body, or some props.

Separate the Gwent card from the tense plot, so that players who like the casual gameplay of the Gwent card can feel more content, and players who don’t like to play the Gwent card will not be allowed to appear in the dialogue The options create a sense of drama.

This is a design concept that Yang Chen and his team designed when designing Gwent cards and missions, but after it is really formed, it will be for players, especially players who like Gwent card gameplay.

The game has really become The Witcher: Gamble.
