Whether RPG and FPS can be well combined, it is obvious that "Borderland" has shown everything with its own sales.

Compared with the online number of "PUBG Mobile", compared to the highest record of 3.5 million in dream memory, the better quality, and more experienced operation team, coupled with the free strategy of the game itself, the light The average online number has also stabilized at around 5 million.

However, the performance of "Borderland" is also very good. It is at the peak of its release popularity, with a maximum online number of 3 million, and its sales have exceeded 7 million. It can be said to be an absolute success.

And unlike games like "PUBG Mobile", "Borderless Land" focuses on stand-alone PVE and teamwork rather than competition.

In the game forums and various game websites, the topic of "Borderland" has surpassed the popularity of "PUBG Mobile" which has been released for a while.

In terms of the length of the follow-up game, there is absolutely no way to compare "Borderless Land" with "PUBG Mobile".

Because the multiplayer competitive game "PUBG Mobile" has an insurmountable advantage in continuous play experience.

That is the joy of fighting with people.

But if it comes from the short-term stickiness of small goals, then a game like "Borderland" will definitely make people feel poisoned.

From the beginning, it was difficult to fight the mobs, and then the equipment with a higher color level broke out, and the firepower immediately increased.

With the increase of the level, after the initial bait and various golden flashes excited the players, the players gradually became indifferent to this kind of golden legend.

But after such a long time of experience, basically even if you don't deliberately brush, the game's plot progress has basically advanced by almost half.

The level of the player character is already high enough. At this time, the follow-up skill tree and equipment matching are another core gameplay.

Of course, these belong to the players who go deep into the core of the game to experience.

Just like "Monster Hunter", there are actually two ways to play the game for players.

First of all, the most ordinary player, I, as a tool man, Canglanxing, has finished playing the last ancient dragon game, and he has already played this game to the end.

And another player,

After finishing the storyline, it is almost just the beginning of the game. The core of the game is to build equipment, equip it with beads, and challenge more difficult dragons.

This is actually the case with games like Borderlands.

Of course, in addition to the flashy elements of the game itself, there are quite a few game media publishing articles to analyze "Borderland" from the game's worldview and plot.

In terms of the plot, "Borderland" is actually not very good. Of course, this is for its third "Borderland".

In the plot of "Borderland" developed by Xingyun Games and UEgame, Yang Chen used the story on Pandora.

The follow-up stories of planets such as Athena and Promecia will be dedicated to players as follow-up DLC stories. At the same time, although "Borderland" is not based on the immersive experience of movies in the plot, it cannot be so casual. , just like a joke.

Compared with the joke-like story of the third "Borderland" in dream memory, in fact, in the first two "Borderlands", through two consecutive series, plus prequels and various DLC, Although the story can only be said to be similar to Hollywood-style traditional routines, through a lot of details and various tasks, it still creates a good enough qualified villain: Handsome Jack.

It's not the kind of villain who is super evil from the beginning. In the game, the general Jack is presented in front of the player through various tasks and stories.

Even compared to the protagonist manipulated by the player, the history of Handsome Jack's fortune is more detailed, and at the same time allows the player to understand what kind of person this is.

The family history of how a programmer became a tyrant.

From the very beginning, Handsome Jack was just an ordinary programmer with low self-esteem, who was submissive and dared not speak out when facing his boss.

But in private, he is ambitious and wants to seize the opportunity to be promoted to the top.

This opportunity is the secret treasure, and what gives him confidence is his daughter: Angel, the mysterious woman that appeared in the player's mind when he first stepped into the planet Pandora.

His daughter was born a witch, with a unique energy, able to resonate with the secret treasure, which made handsome Jack know the secret of Pandora planet first, and mastered the actual information of the secret treasure.

Like a puppet game, Handsome Jack uses the satellite as the platform and his daughter as the thread to induce the new protagonists and his party, turning the Vault Hunters into his pawns on Pandora.

Under the command of the chess players, the chess pieces rotated and jumped, first destroying the largest Red Spear Army in Pandora, causing the food chain among the planetary forces to become unbalanced, and then opening the secret storage, so that the ancient monster destroyer can be seen again.

With the death of the Destroyer, a new kind of energy erupted from the interior of the planet, which turned the entire Pandora wasteland into a land of opportunities full of erium mines.

In this part of the story, Handsome Jack never shows up, and from beginning to end, he hides behind the scenes, playing the role of conspirator.

It wasn't until the satellite marked Hyperion appeared that the player and the protagonist in the game suddenly realized that the Destroyer who looked like a big boss was so weak, but it turned out to be just a younger brother, and the big villain had someone else!

Originally, although all of this was a little unexpected, it didn't make Handsome Jack feel bad.

But after that, another sudden incident not only caused Shuai Jack's plan to deviate, but also changed his personality.

In a crisis, Handsome Jack urgently needs the help of his former colleagues, but this former subordinate has his own little plans, and he betrays Handsome Jack for a better future in his career.

This made Handsome Jack angry, but out of old feelings, he still chose to forgive, but when Handsome Jack turned to leave, there was the sound of a trigger and gunshots, and three shots were fired at a distance of a table, but Probably due to fate, or other factors, all three shots were missed.

So a corpse lay in front of Shuai Jack, and from this moment on, the word trust was put with a question mark in Shuai Jack's heart.

Facing others afterwards, Handsome Jack demanded to be obedient to himself, and his ambition intensified. He tried to build a giant cannon to deter all forces on Pandora. This behavior disgusted some teammates who fought side by side and chose to leave. In the eyes of Handsome Jack, this is another betrayal.

But the real change is the old lover of Handsome Jack, the bar proprietress Moxie. She set a trap, which not only made Handsome Jack lose the key to making cannons, but also almost lost his life.

After that, trust completely disappeared from Handsome Jack's heart.

Obedience and power have become the only creeds.

Immediately afterwards, the lunar secret was also opened. Handsome Jack sat on the throne of the secret and saw a prophecy about his future.

It was a beautiful vision. He controlled the hidden monster named warrior and ruled the whole of Pandora. It was a disgrace to Jack that he shattered the illusion with a single blow and left his face forever scarred.

The contrasting experience from heaven to hell made him crazy. He regarded the protagonists manipulated by the player as robbers, and vowed to eradicate these robbers who brought chaos, and kill these enemies who did not obey him, by means of murder and extortion. , he quickly climbed to the top of the Hyperion, put on a mask, and announced the existence of Handsome Jack to the entire galaxy.

Although it is not portrayed as a positive character, in the plot of "Borderland", the portrayal of such a villain is undoubtedly unforgettable.

Especially his experience of how he went from being a meek programmer to becoming the final BOSS, he has a feeling that the player is the protagonist.

Even after clearing the plot of "Borderland", Handsome Jack's popularity is higher than that of other protagonists in the game.
