Video Game Designer

Probably after the Neil pre-sale, there was no movement in Tianhe Network in the industry. Apart from winning the award at TGA, the news about Tianhe Network that appeared in the eyes of players was basically released by other media. The official news from Tianhe Network is basically nonexistent.

With the passing of time, Neil has officially opened to all players. There are also places such as post bars and forums in the QQ group. The character design pictures of Miss 2B and fan creation pictures can basically be seen everywhere.

Although this is a game with action elements, it has to be said that the excellent character design makes the game character 2B completely overshadow the limelight of the game itself.

Even though the quality of the game itself is very good, including action elements and high-quality music, the game character 2B is more talked about by players.

In the posts about Nier, basically you just browse the pictures about Miss 2B. If you can’t find the picture of Miss 2B in a post related to Nier’s game, then you probably went to A fake post.

But the game itself, Nier, applies the series of IPs, and has been created by Platinum Studio like the rebirth of the phoenix, although the character 2B itself has robbed a lot of attention.

But games are games after all, and it is impossible to become a so-called popular game with only one character design.

At the beginning, players were only curious about this game because of the protagonist 2B, but after actually playing this game, the excellent action elements, excellent music, and plot made all players feel full of sincerity.

Especially in terms of the plot, although it is named after Neil, it is just a continuation of Neil's worldview.

And the story of the first Nier, spanning 5,000 years, can basically be said to be a brand new story.

In a world where human beings are already extinct, artificial humans created to protect humans have no meaning of existence, and artificial humans with self-awareness are engaged in a self-deceiving battle in order to boost morale and seek the meaning of self-existence , a pointless and never-ending battle with no final winner.

Victory and failure are always just one cycle after another.

The original Nier series, created by Taro Yoko, has a bad game experience for players and an almost hopeless plot, which is Taro Yoko's style.

But it is such a style, which can be said to be two extremes, either regarded as a masterpiece, or cast aside.

The original plan of Platinum Studio was to invite Yoko Taro to continue the orthodox plot sequel.

But Chu He didn't like Yoko Taro's desperate style, so Chu He rejected the proposal from Platinum Gold Studio.

Compared with Neil's desperate style of painting before, the ending of this work is more open, although it still tends to be dark.

But in the end, as a group of 2B, they learned all the truth and the plot ended abruptly, which can be regarded as an open ending for the players, and by the way, it paves the way for the possibility of a sequel.

And apart from the action, plot, and music in the game, Platinum Studio has also done some work on the gameplay.

The game itself doesn't have direct multiplayer, but you'll be left with a pager machine when you're online and past save points.

This machine will be randomly assigned to the Nier world of a player who is in the game at the same time. When that player passes by the save point, he can ask you for help to break through the level together.

And during the online process, the two parties can add friends to each other, but they cannot chat or voice in the game.

The character design makes the player interested in the game, and then makes the player addicted to it through the excellent quality of the game itself, and then through the plot of the game and the sublimation of the goodwill towards the character 2B from the beginning.

This made Neil's popularity rise rapidly after the release of Miss 2B, and she became one of the most representative game characters in action games.

'Everything is designed to be destroyed, we are trapped in... the cycle of life and death, is this a curse? Or punishment? Will we one day rise up and rebel against God who has given us unsolvable puzzles? '

For example, the lines spoken by 2B in the game were frantically copied by countless players, and then swiped the screen.

Even clips about 2B game characters on some barrage video sites can have hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of views.

The sales volume of Nier itself is also very successful. In just three days, counting the previous pre-sale sales, including the dual-end platform of PC and console, a total of 3.5 million copies were sold.

This is inseparable from the classic role of 2B.

As I said before, 2B's character design is really amazing, whether it's the Victorian-style clothing or the character design itself.

The excellent shaping of the characters themselves, coupled with the plot of the game, can be said to have completely made 2B the No. 1 in the hearts of players.

At least until they find their next wife.

At the same time, after the game was released, although the official has not said that the game supports MOD.

But there are already many folk MOD masters who have begun to analyze the file packages in the game, and then try to start making game MODs.

The first thing to bear the brunt is about 2B's clothing mod. After all, for most players, no matter whether they appeal for curiosity or some kind of curiosity, 2B without clothes is obviously more tempting to them than 2B with clothes.

At the same time, the notebooks about 2B have been spread on the market. Even Chuhe doesn't know whether it is irony or an act of a fanatic. Platinum Studio in Osaka actually received a whole box of notebooks about 2B.

Then, these notebooks were divided up by the programmers within the company, and they were treated as work benefits.

…………

From the perspective of the plot, there are actually quite a few vacancies in this game of Nier, because it has inherited the original world view of Nier, but Chuhe is not too satisfied with the plot of the original author Yoko Taro, so in the end Many players also have some opinions on the plot of the entire Nier series.

The most important thing is to focus on the media ratings. The mainstream IGN and GameSpot and other media basically only give evaluations of 8.5 and 9 points.

This is determined by the quality of the game itself, and these review media have clearly written the pros and cons of the game.

The high scores are mainly focused on the action elements, character settings, and music, while the plot and game task design are lagging behind.
