Post-00s look back on their 17-year gaming career

Part Zero: Introduction

Hello everyone, I am Ximu, born in 2000 and born in the 2000s. The name "Nishiki" comes from "Nishikino", which represents my field of interest.
Because it was an internal game-related event, and it was a general talk without a limited theme, I briefly reviewed my gaming experience and found that I have played countless games, and suddenly I felt a desire to share it. Share your gaming experience.
! ! ! ! WARNINGLong graphic warning! ! ! !
I am a very omnivorous person who likes games. I play almost all types of games. This may be a very long post. If everyone can become interested in some games and play games because of my posts, I will definitely be very happy. happy.
First, let me talk about what games mean to me. Games are one of the important parts of my life. It can be said that without games, I wouldn’t be where I am now. Get fun from the game, because the game greatly improves your typing speed, because the game cultivates your own self-learning ability, you can experience many stories and learn a lot from the game.
In fact, many behaviors in life are games. The English name of basketball game is basketball game, and many sports are also games. The "game" in this topic activity should specifically refer to video games. Whether it is a video game or a sports game, playing games is essentially a group of "players" who voluntarily abide by unnecessary game rules, overcome various unnecessary difficulties, and achieve unnecessary goals. So I personally think all real gamers should be respected.
Let me tell you about my gaming career bit by bit~

Part One: Mini-games on various complex platforms

Many students must remember mobile phones like PHS. Before the emergence of 3G network, PHS was the most advanced "mobile phone" at that time. Everyone must be familiar with the games on it. Almost all mobile phones have three preset games: Snake, Sokoban, and Tetris. These games are not necessarily the earliest games, but they must be the earliest games I have come into contact with, and almost all my classmates must know it.
Sokoban.gif
This picture shows which level of Sokoban, do you still remember?
I am from the South. When 3G came out, the mainstream operators in the South began to switch from mobile to telecommunications. Telecom has the "IP" of Tianyi. Telecom mobile phones launched at that time have an application store of the operator such as Tianyi Application Center. There are some APPs and games on it, some are free and some are automatically downloaded by deducting the phone bill.

As you can see, the app icons on the right side of the picture are some downloadable applications from that year.
Because my memory is too distant, I don’t remember what games I played here back then. They were all little-known games, and they were not my main experience.
Then my gaming career came to the era of the following two major kings: Moore Manor and Purcell.
image.pngimage.png
I don’t know if any of my classmates caught the ultra-rare elf on June 1st like me - Rey.

Because of the above two games, I came into contact with 4399, the largest mini-game platform at that time. There were countless mini-games on it. I think it must have been the childhood of many people. At that time, we played many exquisite mini-games, the most classic of which was the King of Fighters battle with friends. The King of Fighters series was the introduction to fighting games for children in the non-game console era. In addition, there are Mortal Kombat, Zombie Crisis 3, Crazy Villain Battle, Dream Westward Journey, etc.

Games such as QQ Farm and Parking Space Grab in QQ Space were not only played by adults at that time, but also by children.

After experiencing the era of mini-games in grades 1-3 of elementary school, my era of computer games officially started.

Part Two: Computer Online Games

In 2007, "that game" was launched in China, the gunfight dream of 300 million mice - CrossFire.
image.png
I didn't start playing it as soon as it came out, that was when Moore's Manor and Purcell came out.
Around 2009, friends around me started playing, and naturally everyone started playing. Sichuan Telecom District 1 is a past that can never be forgotten. Transport Ship is a map that you will never get tired of playing.

The computer at home was very poor at the time, and it loaded very slowly. At the slowest time, it took a full 45 minutes to get from the loading page to the selection page. But once I entered the game, it stopped lagging. I spent a total of two hours playing on the computer a week. Although I didn’t play it for long, I was still very happy (now that I think about it, it’s probably because the hard drive is too weak and the graphics card is okay).

The games I played during the same period include the following another big brother of shooting online games - Counter-Strike Online.
image.png
Biochemical mode and Cataclysm are both classic modes that were once very popular. Developed by NEXON and with Century Tiancheng as its domestic agent, a large number of high-quality games appeared at that time. Another one I played was Kart Racing.
When I was a kid, I didn’t have much pocket money and had no way to top up money in the game. When the heroic weapons of CrossFire and the Cataclysm series of weapons in Counter-Strike Online came out, I gradually lost interest in them.

During this period, the game "Tennis Baby" was a big regret for me. The game was discontinued after playing for a short time.

After this, another game left a very deep impression on me. At a time when mainstream shooting games were all first-person, "Global Mission 2", as a third-person design game without a jump button, shocked me very much at that time.
Long press the space bar to run, click the space bar near the bunker to enter the bunker, right-click to probe and left-click to shoot with faith, which was undoubtedly very novel at the time.
My favorite thing at that time was to hide in the bunker at this location on the map below. When the train walked into the tunnel, the beam at the top of the tunnel would pass overhead from time to time. If you happened to be in the bunker probe state at this time, you would This life was taken away by the beam.
You can imagine the shock that this kind of scene interaction brought to the era of 10 years ago. In addition, after you fall to the ground, your teammates can rescue you and fight again.
image.png
The above is part of my experience in computer online games in the 4th to 6th grade of elementary school. After that, due to some special reasons, I was completely isolated from computer online games. Around 2012, it was the era when "League of Legends" gradually became popular. However, I happened to miss this time and never got into online games again. This also directly affected me and I still can’t play League of Legends. When I was in college, I played hacker with my roommates and was taken over by them.

Part Three: PSP Games

If I were to say which part of my gaming experience had the greatest impact on me, it would definitely be the PSP era.
In my PSP era, I played too many game masterpieces, and it was the games on the PSP that made me gradually understand that video games are not just "electronic games" in the eyes of parents such as CrossFire. Opium", but the "ninth art" that depicts an entire fantasy world.

When I first started playing PSP, I still played some of the mini-games that came with the console. Later, I came into contact with "Game Bus", the largest game forum at the time, and I couldn't stop downloading various game masterpieces. It can be said that I played almost all the games on the PSP that interested me in those years. After I could no longer find any other games I wanted to play, I sold the PSP around 2017.
To say my favorite PSP game, it must be "Final Fantasy: Type-0". At that time, PSP was not a launch platform for sequels of various big IPs, but was generally a platform for the release of spin-offs. Naturally, "Final Fantasy: Type-0" is a spin-off work of the Final Fantasy series. The player controls not a protagonist, but a class team composed of 12 people from the legendary Class 0. During the battle, the team can have up to 3 people and can switch at any time.
image.png
However, the gameplay is secondary. The world view of an entire continent depicted by Type Zero is what attracts me the most. The country that respects tradition and magic - Suzaku, the country that respects nature and dragons - Canglong, the country that advocates force and technology - Qinglong and Xuanwu, a country that was destroyed by a "nuclear bomb" not long after the game started. On this continent, four completely different countries performed a unique war story. In the end, everyone in Class 0 discovered the truth about the world. Everything was very immersive. I can't finish it in a few sentences.
image.png
Type Zero's archives can be inherited, that is, multiple games. I played it for at least 1,500 hours. The reason why I remember it is because there was a menu item that added experience to the game at that time. You need to play for more than 1,500 hours to get it through dialogue.

Type-0 is my favorite game. In addition, there are several big IP games that impress me deeply.
Two masterpieces in the God of War series: "God of War: Chains of Olympus", "God of War: Soul of Sparta" Monster
Hunter series: "Monster Hunter 3P Pocket Edition"
Metal Gear Solid series: "Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker"
God Series: "God Eater: Burst", "God Eater 2: Fury Unchained"
Dynasty Warriors Series: "Dynasty Warriors 2", "Dynasty Warriors 5"
Assassin's Creed Series: "Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines"
Independent Boutique: "Parasite Eve 3", "Ridge Racer", etc.

Part 4: Mobile Games

My PSP gaming experience lasted throughout junior high school. When I got my own Android machine in high school, I started to get exposed to some mobile games.
Not to mention the classic games such as Fruit Ninja, Subway Surfers, Temple Run, and Angry Birds that I played on other people’s iPads when I was a kid.

The first thing that impressed me deeply was "Minecraft", which was also my inspiration for playing "Minecraft" on the computer. At that time, I was keen on creating landscaping modes and researching red stone cannons, and the survival modes that could be played on mobile phones were very limited.

The first smartphone I came into contact with was the Xiaomi Mi 1 I bought from my cousin. Xiaomi was born for fever, which made me become a little enthusiast when I was in the third grade of junior high school. At that time, there were many Android phones, and each brand had weird pre-installed software, which greatly affected performance and storage. At that time, I could unlock it by tinkering. The purpose of flashing a pure ROM on your phone is to play games better. The interface below is too familiar.
image.png
Because it does not have its own phone card, this old phone Xiaomi 1 cannot connect to the Internet and only plays stand-alone games. In addition to "Minecraft", I have also played space games "Galaxy on Fire 2", "European War 3", "Monument Valley", "Plague Company" and other relatively famous games. I will not mention other less famous games.
image.pngimage.png
image.pngimage.png

After that, I used the money I saved to buy my first mobile phone, Meizu note 2, and also got my own phone card. Having traffic and being able to connect to the Internet naturally opens up access to online mobile games.

I was one of the earlier players to play "Honor of Kings". At that time, the hero Li Bai had just been released, probably in the 1st and 2nd seasons. It can be said that I led the whole class to play "Honor of Kings", but I stopped playing it myself hahh.

"The Coast of the Land" also left a deep impression on me back then. I joined the alliance, farmed and hunted jungle monsters. What's very interesting is that before the alliance war, the people inside will issue "crying messages" to create excuses for war. There will also be spies in the alliance and countermeasures. There will be commanders in the war between players. When sieging a city, they must gather and wait for orders. It is a veritable "role-playing game". What’s interesting about the game’s design is that the players who charge Krypton gold are the attacking team in the alliance, but civilian players also have the responsibilities and tasks of civilian players. Many tasks can only be completed by a large number of civilian players’ armies. It can be said that each has its own role. Recruited.
image.png
Music game "Lovelive!" "One of my favorite music games. From my name "Ximu" you can know why I play this game. Strictly speaking, the first music game I came into contact with was definitely "Rhythm Master", but "Lovelive" ! "" carries my memories and is also the starting point for improving my audio gaming skills.
There is another mobile game that had such a profound impact on me that I leave a special section behind.

Part 5: High-configuration stand-alone games

When I was a child, my biggest wish was to have a high-end computer that could play the games I wanted to play. When I graduated from high school, I fulfilled my long-held wish and got my first laptop, Shadow Elf 4, graphics card 1060, and processor 8th generation i5. Back then, it was already the recommended configuration for most games. Before graduating from high school, I came into contact with Steam for the first time and bought "Tomb Raider 9" and the coveted "GTAV" at a discount. However, I had to take the college entrance examination at that time, so I saved it to play after the college entrance examination.
image.pngimage.png
I came into contact with "Sniper Elite 2" when I was a child, and then played the 3rd, 4th, and 5th installments on Steam (it can be said that each one is worse than the last).
Tomb Raider series: "Rise of the Tomb Raider", "Shadow of the Tomb Raider"
Just Cause series: "Just Cause 3", "Just Cause 4"
Metal Gear Solid series: "Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain"
Monster Hunter Series: "Monster Hunter: World"
Parallel Series War/Management Category: "Stars" "Cities Skylines" "Hearts of Iron 4"
Forest Series: "The Forest" "Children of the Forest"
Horizon Racing Series: "Horizon 4" "Horizon 5" "
Final Fantasy series: "Final Fantasy 15", "Final Fantasy 7: Remastered Edition"
and some stand-alone masterpieces: "Titanfall 2", "Stardew Valley", "Deus Ex 3", "Assassin's Creed 2", "Call of Duty" 4 Reset", "Dyson Sphere Project", "Daughter of the Volcano", "Two for Two", "Screeps", "No Man's Sky", and
various large-scale online shooting games: "Rainbow Six: Siege", "Apex", "Warframe" "The list of titles for "Call of Duty: Warzone"
is completely endless, and there are still many games that cannot be mentioned. Of course, there are also many masterpiece series that I haven’t played yet, such as the Assassin’s Creed canned series and the Watch Dogs series.

After I got my own salary from the internship, I had always been interested in "Xenoblade Chronicles 2" and bought a Switch game console. The main reason for playing on Switch is to play exclusive works.
image.png
I have played "Zelda: Breath of the Wild", "Xenoblade Chronicles 2", "Monster Hunter: Rise", "Ring Fit Adventure", "Xenoblade Chronicles 3" and "13 Sentinels".
Due to the pursuit of high image quality, I don’t have much preference for Switch. The core reason for buying Switch is to play exclusive games. Among them, Xenoblade Chronicles and 13 Sentinel Defense Circle left a very good impression on me. At this time, I already like content-based games very much, so I prefer plot.

Part 6: My favorite game that has had a profound impact on me

"Girls Frontline"

Hereafter referred to as Shaoqian, it is the game that has the most profound and far-reaching influence on my life after college. Having played various design games since I was a child, I am very interested in various firearms. Naturally, I also like the anthropomorphism of firearms. It is a Clike game that is obviously influenced by Fleet Collection, and the main gameplay is battle flag. Girls’ Frontline is the first two-dimensional game I came into contact with, and it directly laid my basic understanding of the development game system.
image.png
Compared with the relatively simple gameplay and development of other cute games, Shao Qian had a very deep game system for that era. The gameplay of Battle Flag also directly affects the difficulty of learning the rules and the application of in-game decision-making in the gameplay. I learned a lot of in-depth strategies back then, and my detailed exploration of the gameplay and my own summary of it directly affected my self-study ability after college. Before that, my self-study ability was relatively weak.

By summarizing the method of learning how to play in games and summarizing it in daily study life, I developed the habit of collecting information and summarizing and reasoning.
image.pngimage.png
image.pngimage.png
image.pngimage.png
How about it? It's very simple.jpg

In addition to improving my learning ability, it also changed my interest in games from gameplay to game content.
"Girls' Frontline" has a very serious plot and background world view. In a Bilibili video event, I was lucky enough to win the third prize and receive the official set of Girls' Frontline. My personal favorite part is one of the booklets - Girls' Frontline world view setting collection.

A very serious talk about why the guns in the game are anthropomorphic? Why are they all female-looking humanoids? How the human form is designed and so on. This is completely different from traditional cute two-dimensional games. Shao Qian has a very serious setting and origin in the plot, and the game plot is not a play-style waste cute theme. "Girls' Frontline" is also known as "Girls on the Frontline " This is no joke.

The storyline in the game is only a small part of the story that takes place in the entire Girls’ Frontline worldview. The background of the world view begins with the fictional event of discovering the remains of an unknown civilization and collapsed materials in 1905, and continues to develop until the 1980s, that is, around 2110. The structure of the world has undergone earth-shaking changes due to collapsed materials and the remains of unknown civilizations. The occurrence of the Third World War caused the world to be divided into two major forces, the Roxartist United States Alliance and the Antarctic Federation after World War III. Players in the game The role he plays is just the commander of a security contractor who survives between two major forces.

The story background of all this was very attractive to me, and I began to be far more interested in the plot content of all the games I played later than before. So whether it’s in terms of improvement in abilities or changes in attitudes towards game content in the future, Girls’ Frontline is a game that has had a huge impact on me, and it’s well deserved.

"my world"

What has had the greatest impact on me is not the original version of Minecraft, but the various mods of Minecraft. The game mods made by various player communities in Minecraft can be said to have turned Minecraft into another game. The part that interests me the most is the technology module.

From the module "Industrial Age 2", I experienced for the first time how many different processes a game item goes through from raw materials to complex handicrafts. The module has a very rich variety of machines to complete different tasks. The machines also need power supply, from basic thermal power generation and wind power generation to ethylene and chemical power generation, and finally to nuclear fission and nuclear fusion power generation and transmission. When it comes to electricity, you also need to consider voltage and current, and have a very realistic and complete technology tree exploration experience.
The picture below shows the 600+ newly added items and blocks in the "Industrial Age 2" module, including raw materials, parts, machinery, and even chemicals such as fluids and gases.
image.png
When coming into contact with this large-scale technology module, there are almost no relatively complete tutorials. It is almost half exploring on your own and half consulting the wiki. While playing this module, I have been exposed to programming, and it has greatly promoted my habit of consulting official documents (although this is not an official document, it is very similar to an API reference document rather than a tutorial document). There is a lot to learn, including how to use each machine, the principles and limitations of power transmission, etc. It is very rich content. Although it is very complicated, it is very exciting to play.

After coming into contact with the first technology module of "Industrial Age 2", I started to come into contact with more and more complex technology modules.
"General Machinery" , another large-scale technology module, has a large number of high-quality machine modeling and more multi-block structure machines: industrial turbines, nuclear fission reactors, boilers, distillation towers, adding more than "Industrial Age 2" Added over 1,000 new items and blocks. Many players even write tutorials on pipeline design in the form of papers, which is one of my favorite modules.

"Applied Energy 2" , a complex but elegant logistics module. It has many unique concepts: memory, controller, channel, sub-network, synthesis processor, parallel processor, etc., which can connect various modules and serve as the cornerstone of all automated production. Its entry threshold can be said to be quite high. Implementing an automatic logistics network is like designing a large-scale automatic factory. It is a great test for learning and thinking abilities. The time I spent learning on these modules is not at all. Less time than it takes to learn a programming language.
image.pngimage.png
I have also been fortunate enough to contribute to the text localization code of some modules. There are other more interesting modules that I will not mention due to space reasons. The game Minecraft and its rich player community modules are A highlight in my gaming career.

《Genshin》

This is a very controversial game, and I am the first player to launch the PC server of Genshin Impact 9.15. The opportunity to play Genshin Impact was also very coincidental. I only learned about this game the day before it was launched. I liked the cartoon style, so I made an appointment with my college roommate to play together and fell in love with it. This time I fell in love with Kuai 3. years.
image.png
Genshin Impact was very controversial when it first launched, which made me think about the entire game industry from a non-player perspective for the first time: the different advantages and disadvantages of buyout games and service-based games; Pay to win and The impact of the Pay to Love business model on the game industry; the relationship between game quality and game sales, game promotion, game purchase volume, etc.

This is also a typical example that I am far more interested in the story and worldview content of the game than the gameplay content. The above picture comes from the PV of Genshin Impact's official main storyline trailer - Footprints . If you haven't seen it, you can see the overall outline of the entire core main storyline from this trailer. The design of the entire worldview is very attractive.

During the game, I personally prefer the "story" in the game. Regarding various aspects of plot and world view, I have watched a lot of content. Among the stories with dubbing in the main plot, they only account for about 20% of the entire game content. There is a lot of content scattered in side tasks, and some There is more text content hidden in the game's various item introductions and books. Through a huge amount of text, the Genshin Impact team has described the history and various stories of the entire Teyvat continent. Because it is still being updated, some new content added in each version can be used to explore and discover the entire world. .

"Genshin Impact" is a typical content-based game. The production team produces a large amount of game content every 42 days (later changed to 35 days). One major version every year updates the map and story of an entire country, which is equivalent to releasing a single-player game with 50+ game hours and worth 100+ every year. This kind of game industrialization strength is one of the few in the world.

My personal favorite area in the game is Yuanxia Palace. When you first enter Yuanxia Palace and open the door, you will be greeted by a sense of weight and epicness. The plot content of this area also depicts the history of an entire historical country. There is a period of barbaric exploration, and there is also a religious period full of deception and lies. From the stories of small characters, the entire civilized history of Yuanxia Palace is restored. Finally, there is the heavyweight book "Before the Sun and the Moon". In less than a thousand words, it almost shows the origin and development of the entire world of Teyvat. There are many thought-provoking settings. , it is content that plot party players must not miss.

Part Six: Conclusion

Readers can read this last part in full. As a text writer, I must be very happy. My writing is not good, and I don’t pay too much attention to the structure. I just talked about it bit by bit, and it’s only through hard work that I can read this.
Even after writing so much, I still have many games that I have played that I have not been able to share due to space reasons.

What a game is to me can no longer be described as pure entertainment, and "game" here does not only refer to a specific video game. The meaning of games to me is not only entertainment, I also learned a lot from games. As I said at the beginning, without games, I would not be where I am now.

Another important part of me, as you may have guessed, is animation. It has been 8 years since I really came into contact with animation. I have watched countless good and bad animations, and I have also learned a lot from them. From my parents, I can deeply understand the difference before and after, so if everyone thanks you, I may write a post about my animation career when I have time.

As I said before, I'm an omnivore when it comes to gaming and play everything, and the same goes for everything else. I have dabbled in movies, American dramas, Japanese dramas, domestic dramas, and variety shows. I wrote this post here to share my gaming career. In addition to satisfying my own desire to share, it also has another expectation: if you have any feelings after watching it Friends who share my interests are welcome to make friends, play games and communicate together.

The games I’ve been playing recently include “Rainbow Six: Siege”, “Kala Picchu”, “Genshin Impact”, “Red Dead Redemption 2” and “Stars”. If you happen to be playing these games recently, I look forward to interacting with you. Friends communicate and play together.
