Chapter 129 "Plants vs. Zombies" Internal Beta

After finishing his breakfast in a leisurely manner in the rest area, Nie Tian picked up the cup and took a sip expectantly.

As expected of Lao Wan!That’s great!
Nie Tian looked at the contents of the cup carefully, wondering in his heart, they are all the same thing, why is the taste of the brewed by his mother so different?

After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure out the reason. He stopped worrying and went to find his old place with the cup.

Turning on the computer, "Plants vs. Zombies" was indeed added to the game list.

After a brief novice introduction, Nie Tian quickly got started.

After all, it is a casual game, and the operation cannot be complicated.

The only operations in "Plants vs. Zombies" are to plant plants, shovel plants, and collect sunlight. By rationally planning the planting order and arrangement of plants to defend against each wave of zombie invasion, you can pass the level.

It’s such a simple gameplay, and Nie Tian, ​​who prefers hardcore and competitive games, got into it without even realizing it.

Around it, there are gradually more customers, and everyone has basically seen the promotional posters and promotional videos. As regular customers of the experience store, everyone has long developed the habit of trying out new games every time they come out.

Everywhere you look, almost every computer screen is filled with scenes of Plants vs. Zombies.

What is different from the previous games is that the internal beta version of "Plants vs. Zombies" has already launched a ranking function, and the game progress of all players can be seen on the ranking list.

"Nut bowling is so fun! Haha!" A girl beat zombies with nuts and leaned forward with joy.

"Brother, there is something wrong with your placement. The nuts are very meaty and can be pushed directly to the second column on the right. There is no need to put the sunflower in the innermost position. Put it in front of the output. If you can't defend it, you can delay it a little bit. Output time." There are players who are good at thinking and imparting experience to the people next to them.

"Here, what kind of trick are you doing, putting the ice shooter behind the brazier? What's the difference between this and the pea shooter?" Someone watching from behind was stunned by the girl's confusing operation.

"Holy shit! Putting the piranha behind the nuts is the right answer! Brother, do you think I'm a dick?" Players who have discovered little tricks can't wait to show off to the people around them.

"Hehehe... Wogua looks like my high school teacher, Hehehe... made me laugh to death!" A girl was amused by Wogua's bitter and hateful appearance.

"Holy shit! What's going on? Can this guy still pole vault?" Some people were shocked when they saw a pole zombie jumping over nuts for the first time.

"You like jumping, don't you? Does it feel good when you land on the ground and step on mines?" Someone secretly buried a row of potato mines behind the nuts, fishing law enforcement, waiting for the pole zombies to deliver them.

All the players were very involved in the game and enjoyed it.

"Plants vs. Zombies" is a very interesting game to play alone. In this atmosphere with dozens of people playing together, the fun and experience of the game are even better.

The basic gameplay of the original adventure mode is enough to surprise people, and the occasional special gameplay also adds a lot of color to the game.

This naturally includes the nut bowling that no one is unhappy with.

In addition, there are some mysterious mini-games that are quite interesting, such as the plant zombie mode that Nie Tian is playing, in which the zombie heads are replaced by pea shooters or nuts.

He has failed seven or eight times in a row. Pea zombies are extremely disgusting. Without nuts, directly making pea shooters and sniping them will be a waste of blood. But if you don't do something, the sunflowers on your path will be fine. Will be shot.

There is no point in using the Ice Shooter. The Ice Shooter is not only 75 more expensive than the Pea Shooter, but its slowing effect does not prevent the Pea Zombie from continuing to attack.

And even if he creates a nut defense here, when the zombies charge collectively, there will be a situation where the nut zombies are in front and multiple pea zombies are stealing output from behind. In this way, the zombies' firepower will be stronger. The nuts will be the first to be unable to withstand it.

After trying various plant combinations, Nie Tiancai finally found a comfortable way of playing.

Build sunflowers at the beginning. When the zombies come out, if there are sunflowers on this road, just shovel them out. Then put a potato mine on the road and continue to plant sunflowers on other roads for development.

As long as there are zombies that cannot be dealt with, use potato mines to deal with them. In other cases, the combination of pea shooters and nuts is naturally the best defense. However, if the nuts are on cooldown, you can also place pea shooters and zombies in the middle to sniper two or three times. Next, add a sunflower in front of the pea shooter to block subsequent damage.

Finally, using this line of thinking, he finally got through this level.

In addition to plant zombies, there are also mini-games such as slot machines, growing plants in the rain, and Bejeweled. These types of gameplay are not that difficult, but they also have their own characteristics.

In addition to the adventure mode and mini games, the closed beta version also opens a battle mode.

This mode was suggested by Gu Feng to Wang Chen. Gu Feng did not borrow the battle mode from "Plants vs. Zombies 2".

The battle mode in the previous life was said to be PVP, but in fact it was not strictly speaking at all. In this mode, players' defense was preset in advance, and only when using zombies to actively attack other people's territory was the player's real-time operation.

Because plants have levels, the same plant has completely different skill effects at level 1 and level 5. This also leads to ordinary players encountering the territory of Kryptonians, and no matter how many zombies they have, it will be in vain.

So although this mode does have some playability, overall, the game experience is probably not very good.

Gu Feng directly changed this mode into an entertainment-oriented battle mode. There was no concept of plant levels, because if plant levels were added, the numerical balance would be too difficult to control. He didn't know if others could control it. Anyway, he thought he I can't figure out my level 7 numerical level.

In this battle mode, players who control plants and players who control zombies meet through random matching or invitation battles. The plants or zombies that both parties can control are the plants and zombies that have been unlocked in their current adventure mode clearance progress.

There is no doubt that the further you play the adventure mode, the greater your natural advantage will be, but this advantage will not affect the balance, because the adventure mode is free and open to all players. If you fall behind in the adventure mode, you will suffer a loss in the battle mode. , it’s not that the designer’s gameplay is unfair, it’s purely because you are lazy.

Under the same adventure mode progress, there are not many unfair factors between the two players. After all, what kind of zombies are there, corresponding restrained plants have already appeared in the corresponding levels.

At the beginning, Gu Feng also thought about whether the zombies would suffer a bit with this design. After all, even the most difficult levels in the adventure mode can be cleared. This is enough to show that as long as the player finds a strategy, it should be easy to defend against the zombie attack.

But then he thought about it. The types of zombies in each level in the adventure mode are limited. There are only a few types. It is not that troublesome to restrain them. But in the battle mode, not only are there more types of zombies, but they are also controlled by the player, plant-based. It will definitely not work if players want to use the same fixed strategies for playing computer games.

After all, the zombie side can also change its strategy at any time based on the plants planted by the opponent, and replace the zombies with restraints on the plants.

Moreover, it is unlikely that the zombies controlled by the player will be squishy and give away nothing, and it is also unlikely that the gap between the strength of the five-way offensive strength will be too large.

This mode does not set any ranks anyway, and it is definitely quite interesting to use it to compete among friends.

Don’t players always feel that their formations are so awesome? Everyone insists on their own opinions and it is difficult to convince each other. With this battle mode, both parties can go solo if they are not convinced.

You think your formation is awesome, right? But if my buddy kills you with his own hands, you'll have nothing to say, right?

You see, instead of everyone arguing with each other, this problem will be solved directly and perfectly as soon as this mode comes out.
