Infinite Mask Game

Chapter 215 The perspective of ordinary players



Wei Ming: "But every time, when the technology breaks through the bottleneck, it looks like a miracle."

Wei Miao admitted: "Of course. But this time, will it be a miracle... Maybe not."

"I am also a player of Masquerade." Wei Ming said shockingly.

"Ah?!" Wei Miao was surprised by her cousin. "Don't you rarely play virtual games?"

Wei Ming is a loyal single-player game player. He only buys one or two single-player games a year. He is mediocre in the physical exercise required by virtual games and is not very interested in them.

"It was highly praised online before, and it was a new virtual helmet. I happened to have some free time at that time, so I bought one to learn about the virtual game that is said to be the most cutting-edge level."

Wei Ming: "Its quality is indeed amazing, but I think it is still possible to generate random copies through powerful AI technology..."

Wei Ming talked about some of his speculations on the technology used in various aspects. After listening, Wei Miao only asked one question: "How far have you played now?"

"I played it twice and then stopped playing. I feel that the game is not suitable for me." Wei Ming confessed, "The scenes are too real, which makes people almost forget that it is a virtual world. The atmosphere between players is uncomfortable, just like... treating every win or loss as a real fight, using any means, regardless of morality. I am not saying that we should not strive for victory, but players take victory too seriously in the game. In the final analysis, the game is essentially just data for people's entertainment. "

"In the second round of ranking, I met three players from the same camp who directly killed the game target for victory, but they could have done it through "persuasion". After I stopped them for a while, they actually sold me out in the subsequent confrontation. Although I won in the end, I still feel... they are terrible players. "

"After the curtain call, they were able to talk and laugh with me again, asking me not to mind everything. Everything is a means to win the game, and finally led me to win. "

"I feel that the game lacks the necessary constraints on the behavior of players, resulting in an increasingly crazy competitive atmosphere. "

Wei Ming's tone is not very good. He is a consistent Buddhist player.

And Wei Miao, as a game anchor and competitive player, is accustomed to the kind of people he is talking about.

Wei Ming describes the game as nothing more than data for people's entertainment, but in fact his behavior unconsciously violates this point. He pinned his emotions and values ​​on the overly realistic virtual game, on the contrary, the players he is talking about are closer to the essence of the game.

In traditional stand-alone games, no player would waver to kill an NPC. They killed hundreds of enemies, and everyone knew that it was reproducible data.

But the selling point of virtual games is reality, so the virtual games in the past were very cautious between reality and falsehood. Manufacturers need to control a degree so that people can have both immersion and the ability to distinguish between virtual and real people.

The Masquerade is so real that people doubt the falsehood of the game, which weakens the players' perception of virtuality. Therefore, Wei Ming's idea is completely reasonable.

He is very representative among Buddhist players.

But he only played the shallow level of the game. At the carnival party, every player vaguely revealed their solemnity behind the game.

Even so, among high-level players, there are differences on how to treat the dungeon world, and each has its own position and perspective. This controversy has continued since the birth of the Masquerade. It can be foreseen that this will be a contradiction that is difficult to bridge between players.

"Maybe because the target audience of this game is the chaotic and fun-loving people." Wei Ming is a complete materialist. Wei Miao knows that even if she tells him the truth, it will be difficult to shake his cognition, so she goes along with what he says.

"But I think you should still give it a try. Maybe you can really dig out their technology from it, and when you become stronger, you can deal with those fun-loving people." Wei Miao never mentioned her own gaming style, and teased and advised like an outsider.

Wei Ming: "Okay, I'll try my best."

"Remember to read the "Basic Game Manual."

"I've read it."

"Oh? What is 'Multi-dimensional Power Judgment'?"

"..."

Wei Ming was silent.

From this, Wei Miao roughly guessed which part he was looking at. It was nothing more than the basic settings of the three major items, and clarifying the cultivation components of the game. He did not study the complex judgment mechanism in depth.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "So, what is multi-dimensional strength judgment?"

"In simple terms, all aspects related to strength may be judged once, and the judgment of which aspects depends on the skill requirements. Generally, only when all aspects are judged to be qualified can the judgment be considered passed. A more bizarre one, for example, is to check the muscle density of the character. Corresponding to this is a direct attribute judgment, which determines whether the value of the strength attribute meets the standard."

Wei Ming admired: "It seems that you are still professional... You should be one of the top players, right?"

Wei Miao said sincerely: "Not really, there are many players who are better than me."

Wei Ming's understanding of her game level is just like his half-understanding of the masquerade, so he didn't ask more questions.

After half an hour of driving, they finally arrived at Wei Jin's apartment. Along the way, Wei Ming and Wei Miao exchanged some views on the current game and the interesting stories they heard on weekdays.

Wei Miao followed Wei Jin into the apartment, threw his backpack into the guest room and quickly went downstairs.

They will go to the food street to solve lunch through the subway that extends in all directions.

On the subway, Wei Miao looked at his phone, while Wei Jin and Wei Ming put on AR glasses.

In daily life, smartphones have not been completely eliminated by AR devices because of their high reliability, complete application system, portability and low cost.

Peng Gein's AR glasses look like fashionable sunglasses. The breakthrough in hardware makes them light and compact, but they can independently integrate applications comparable to smartphones. Instead of just magnifying the screen of a mobile phone or computer, they can be used as a separate smart device and controlled by gestures through the matching sensor ring. However, if you are in a quiet public place, the convenience of inputting text is not as good as that of a mobile phone.

If they are people who have implanted a one-way invasive brain-computer interface, they can use a more advanced AR and issue various commands through their thoughts. They are the perfect match for AR.

But not only the Federation, but the whole world is cautious about invasive brain-computer interfaces. Although it can truly realize the interconnection between people and everything, the potential security risks cannot be ignored.

Even if someone is willing to try, most of them use one-way invasive brain-computer interfaces, which only realize one-way information transmission from brain decoding to peripheral control, rather than two-way brain-computer interfaces, which can transmit signals to the brain through electrical stimulation. The latter can even completely abandon peripherals to obtain external information with the same quality as AR glasses by relying on repeaters.

Wei Miao certainly chose the latter between quality of life and safety.

Recently, the gaming circle has been quite lively, and some timely news has been interspersed in the reality part, "keeping up with current affairs", so there are continuous updates (limited time version).
