To sum it up in one sentence, people who don't understand the game can't understand it, and people who really understand the game can't.
I thought that this film would be a feast for gamers, but it turned out to be just a mass carnival in the skin of the game. To be honest, this film belongs to Lao Si's middle and lower level! It’s really not as good-looking as I imagined, and it’s full of various flaws. I initially summarized at least six flaws. mistake).
I found that many people don't understand me, so let's insert a paragraph here. Let’s talk about a plot first. IOI sent troops to the ballroom to attack the bridge section of the hero. I don’t know what’s in the minds of everyone watching the movie at this time? Many people may be very nervous, afraid that the hero will get hurt, right? But I was thinking at the time, "I'm silly, stupid?! Get a hairy?! Go offline! Don't the off-line characters disappear?! ~~~~ I'm grass! Why the hell are you still not offline? ~~~~ I am grass, I am grass~~~ I still fight!?~~~~ I am grass, throw your mother to force the Rubik’s Cube? Stupid?! Waste!!!~~~ Offline! My day!~ ~~Oh, let me go, what did this take!?~~~~ "Oh! Now everyone knows what is meant by "anyone who understands games can't see this film, right?"! Of course, some people will say that after going offline, the characters may become "computer" people like in the glory of the king, and they will still be killed. But the disappearance of offline in this game is clearly explained by the movie, and people with a little game knowledge can tell that the ballroom must be a safe area. Otherwise, the protagonist will be challenged and killed as soon as he appears. Think about it, a character without a union background gets the most valuable item in the game. Isn't there anyone who wants to grab it except ioi? This is absolutely impossible, no one in the game is so friendly (when I was watching the movie, since the protagonist got the first key, I was worried about him being killed wherever he went). So there must be a safe area, and ioi can come to the safe area to fight him, basically it can only be done with a plug-in. This is purely unilateral forcible opening of the group, which is equivalent to the protagonist without a battle agreement, of course he can forcibly quit. And the male protagonist is not offline, just to promote the plot forcibly set. Let's repeat the process of the mentality change of the movie viewers at this stage. As soon as the protagonist enters the ballroom, as a person who plays games all the year round, he will immediately determine that it is a safe area, otherwise someone will attack him. When you mentally expect that this is a safe zone, someone suddenly attacks him, then your worldview will be torn apart, you stop going to the movies, and you start thinking about why you can attack him in the safe zone? When you think that it may be a plug-in, and accept this setting, you are thinking, since it was initiated by the plug-in, there is no battle agreement between you. If there is no battle agreement, why don't you quit? This is basically the logic. The game player will be thinking about various unreasonable settings throughout the article, and it is difficult to enter a good viewing state.
Mistake one:
The operating settings of the game in the movie. The protagonist has to rely on the "universal treadmill" to move for a while, and suddenly no longer needs it. Even if there are two modes of handle and somatosensory, I don't think it can achieve a weightless dance between two people. It is too magical. NS. This kind of neural link can only be achieved by the Matrix, but the movie's description of the operation is very perfunctory. Even the villain boss’s "advanced massage chair" does not see a mental link device. The boss still simply takes off his glasses. Enter reality. And some people in the movie need to be hung up, but some people can use their sofa as an obstacle in the game. I have a VR device at home. I responsibly say that this is absolutely unreasonable. You will surely fall half-dead if you jump off the sofa with VR. The combination of reality and the game described in the film is completely vague, purely against the whims of physics (just imagine if a player’s sofa exists in the form of ar in the game, how do others perceive the existence of this sofa? This is not a stand-alone game after all. Such a description is not rigorous, but it is actually determined by the director’s arbitrariness. He may want to satirize the player’s addiction, but it is not appropriate. If it is a magical movie, various wizards use all kinds of weirdness. The posture casting is almost the same, after all, that does not involve basic physics rules. You are a science fiction film, if a car is flying in the sky, then you must let the audience know whether it depends on a jet, a turbine, or an anti-gravity engine. You can’t Let an ordinary car suddenly fly up without warning, it is an absurd fantasy film.). And there are even a large number of people playing VR on the street in the film. I again responsibly say that playing VR on the street is definitely cool for only three seconds, and you will inevitably be killed by a car. Children must not imitate it! It is impossible for human beings to take into account the two worlds of virtual and reality. In addition, as an veteran game player with more than 20 years of gaming experience, I will again responsibly say that playing games on the street is definitely not a good gaming experience, even if it is a mobile game that is more convenient than VR to play now, there are not many. A second person will walk and play on the street. Is it possible that the future people are all fools? This setting is really good for Secondary Two, so I just jump into the show.
Mistake two:
As the world's number one game, "Oasis" has an unshakable monopoly in the industry. But such a dazzling overlord of the game turns a blind eye to another who wants to embezzle his own property and openly recruits a full-time navy, brushes a copy, uses plug-ins, and bullies ordinary players in the game! is it possible? (There are so many high-level players in the whole server, but only ioi has a "portal" that can directly enter the core area of the dungeon. No other players have any. Isn't this a kind of plug-in? Have you seen any game where novices can directly Send it to the portal of the final dungeon boss area? And the movie also clearly stated that the 99-level artifact big ball itself was not bought from the equipment store. It was bought from the black market skull face, which is unclearly describing the cost. Is the process of buying a plug-in? Isn’t that obvious enough? Let’s talk about the issue that affects balance. A union covers the final copy of the entire game with plug-ins and prevents others from playing. Doesn’t it affect the balance of the game? If there is a union Playing like this in Warcraft, what would you think if you were an ordinary player?) Speaking of this, imagine that Tencent will allow NetEase to organize various waves in his game? Isn't this funny? And reality tells us that if a game loses its fairness (such as invincible recharge, rampant plug-ins), the game will soon be largely abandoned by players. The "Oasis" in the movie not only can have nuclear bombs when recharged, but it is also obviously proliferated, and even a large number of groups are opened. It’s not logical for this kind of game to be popular all over the world. Therefore, whether it is in terms of business operations or real game rules, the setting of the movie is very unreasonable.
Mistake three:
The “migrant workers” in the game IOI can log in to a new account again by changing the device after they die, and continue to copy the copy. Change the device to log in again, which itself is the setting of taking off the pants and farting (do we need to change the computer when we change the account to log in to QQ?). Netizens pointed out that this can be understood as the director's setting to express the villain's stupidity. I want to say that this setting is only suitable for nonsensical comedies.
Mistake four:
The whole body sensing equipment of the villain BOSS. Speaking of full-body sensing equipment, the professional one should be called "full-body omni-directional force feedback equipment". This type of equipment is the dream of every game player. Even Liu Cixin’s "Three-Body 1" relied on science fiction to develop this equipment reasonably. Story development. But know that this device is used to "enjoy" the game, so that everyone can experience it. This thing is definitely not for competition, it will only hold you back. Especially this kind of "no regulation, no rules" competition in movies. The ghost has to put on a piece of equipment that makes him painful to fight with others! ? You can go online without wearing it! are you crazy! ! ! Unfortunately, there is such a group of neuroses in the movie. Especially as a rogue company, a big boss of a rogue group whose best interests are the only pursuit. Regardless of his weak body, his old man resolutely put on such a set of equipment that would "injure" himself and stepped onto the battlefield when he participated in the final battle! WHAT F......!!! Participate in the decisive battle, brother! ! ! When you put on this kind of equipment, you are obviously going to thousands of miles to give people away, big brother! ! ! Brother, you are serious about playing games! I haven't seen this kind of upright BOSS for a long time! However, don't think that this is the end. What is even more amazing is that the equipment he wore even had a special "tintin" induction zone, which directly led to the tragedy of the boss and his cock being abused by the protagonist. I just want to ask, who designed this for the boss? Does this thing really have a meaning? Is it just for the boss to be blown up? This designer must be the biggest undercover in this film!
Mistake five:
People in the game will become gold coins when they die. Then why did the protagonist threw that grenade at the last moment, and there was not a single gold coin on the ground after exploding a pawn? I am looking forward to seeing gold coins all over the floor, okay? It should be the protagonist who walked over the screen full of gold coins and flew on him, okay? As a game controller, do you know that you will have a climax when you see this kind of scene? I can only say that Lao Si still doesn't understand gamers enough! (Many people here say that they are new recruits, so they don’t have gold coins. I agree with new recruits, but one is that there is no such coincidence, right? Two, although these people are new recruits, they are by no means ordinary newcomers. They have them. Newcomers of high-end customized weapons and full set of customized armors. Since we don't see weapons and armors that can be picked up everywhere after their deaths, they must appear in the form of gold coins, right?)
Mistake six:
The setting of the entire film is a future world where people are overly addicted to games. Because the reality is very dilapidated, and there is everything in the game, there are beautiful cars and beauties, so most people are unable to extricate themselves, and even die for the game. But the movie also explained that most ordinary players do not have full body sensing equipment, and the VR settings in the movie are similar to the current reality, and there is no obvious "neural connection" and other settings, so as a For the old players of professional VR equipment, I will again responsibly say that if VR is not equipped with full-sensing equipment, it is more than an "eye addiction". Beautiful women are all clouds and can only be seen but cannot be touched. , Let alone "what" like in reality, think about it, what's so addictive about this TM? ! So, this game doesn’t seem to make people addicted to this level at all. Looking at it this way, does it feel a little bit boring.... In other words, if the movie is set in the first two years of Bruce Willis’s " The complete mind transfer control like "Future Men" still makes sense. Let's make up for it.
Mistake Seven:
In the first level, the car solves the mystery. Racing puzzles, this is not a puzzle solving at all, okay? Isn't anyone suspected except the protagonist? It has been several years since the puzzle-solving process has started, and a group of people are going through the barriers every day. Do you really think that you should force through it? With such an obvious blindfold, don't anyone in the world have any doubts about it? I knew I was going to work hard, no one had a brain, they were all dumbfounded! ? In addition, since the props and characters in the game really only have one life, they will be cleared when they die. It is absolutely impossible to start the game on any day. There are still so many high-level players driving the props to participate in the game. Looking at the legendary setting, we can imagine that the scenes that appear must be a bunch of naked big bald heads, driving a kart or riding a Mobike to compete. This is in line with common sense, isn't it? Speaking of racing levels, there is actually a harder bug, that is, a designer who loves games all his life. In the last and most important set of levels he designed, how could he design a level that allows players to find the existence of the level? "Bug" to clear the setting? This is an insult to the game, and it is absolutely impossible for developers who love games to do. This point fully shows that the director does not understand the game at all, and does not understand the psychology of these people. There is no real game developer in his team either. To know good film works, relevant senior people must be involved in the main creative team to truly create works with soul. It also shows that Lao Si and the others have a very casual attitude towards this work. They feel that it is for young people to watch it anyway. It is enough to have Easter eggs in the lively, and the other is not important.
Mistake eight: (thanks to netizen Xie Amian for suggesting it)
Why are everyone in the same city? This game obviously shields address information, or IOI has already found the protagonist. Then why the five players of the protagonist are all in the same city, so is the world so small? Batman's Gotham universe? Even if the 4 teammates have known each other for a long time and know that everyone is in the same city, why is the heroine in the same city? Just ask, you meet a beloved girl in Warcraft, and how low is the chance that she will still be your neighbor? What's more, "Oasis" is the same service all over the world, and the whole world is the same service! What concept? ! It's more than 1,000 times more difficult than Warcraft to meet people in the same city, right? ! ! What's more, the IOI headquarters and the protagonist are also the same city. It seems that there is only one explanation. It is really the end of the world. There is only one city left in the world. In addition, the protagonist is a dead house in the game, and he needs the black sister to remind him before he thinks of the problem of the female gangster. . Isn't this the person who plays mmorpg knows best and is the first to think of it? . . .
Mistake Nine: (Continue to thank netizen Xie Amian for suggesting it)
A matter of time. In the game, when the protagonists meet at ten o'clock to dance in the ballroom, haven't they considered that there may be a time difference in their respective locations? Even if the ten o'clock here refers to the uniform time of the game at ten o'clock, when the protagonist first went to check the memory museum, it would be empty. Even if it is early morning in the United States, it is daytime in Asia. . . And even in the early hours of the world (what the hell), with such a high amount of reward, a library full of materials will not be full of liver emperors/game studio migrant workers. . .
Mistake ten: (Continue to thank the netizen Prime_Yoga for suggesting)
Does Oasis oppose Krypton Gold? In the introduction at the beginning, it was clearly stated that the creators of the game are anti-Kryptonium. There are so many powerful props that disrupt the balance of the game in the movie, and even the money can buy nuclear bombs. Who will tell me where is this anti-Krypton gold? Imagine that tens of thousands of people are fighting dungeons desperately. I have money. I am happy to throw a nuclear bomb and all of you are dead. Is this game still available? No one cares about this? Reality tells us that as long as there are in-game coins to buy things in a game, it can definitely be exchanged with real coins in many ways. This is the most basic reality. A game that is truly anti-Krypton Gold will not design purchaseable items that affect the balance of the game. For example, League of Legends, basically you can buy skins for good looks and coolness, and its attribute bonuses are very small. If once you add a skin with an additional attribute that is full of blood in the first second, then someone will buy the skin no matter what coins or crystals are used. Because you can spend money to buy game currency, and the League of Legends game is over, think about it, is it true?
:( Thanks friends to add a Bic and more alien pointing)
Let's discuss the safe zone setting of the game. The topic is whether the game has the concept of safe zone. Judging from the situation given in the movie, there should be none. For example, male and female protagonists will be attacked by IOI in the dance hall; male protagonists will be "attacked" by female protagonists wearing makeup to a certain extent in the library. But if there is no safe zone in the game, then in a game where defeating opponents can explode money and equipment, players will never be so gentle, courteous and frugal. Regarded as an idol, the quality of this game player is simply amazing. The real situation should be that the male protagonist will be beaten into a sieve the second after he gets the secret treasure from the copy. So the conclusion reached has become that there should be a safe zone. If there is, the ballroom must be a safe area, otherwise the male lead will be robbed by others as soon as he appears. Since it is a safe zone, why can IOI attack the male lead? ? ? What is the logic? We know that some games have a safe zone challenge agreement, but the IOI in the film is obviously a surprise attack and did not initiate a challenge agreement to the male protagonist. Then there is only one explanation. At a certain level, high play or high trade unions can ignore the safe zone and have the authority to kill people in the safe zone. This can explain this behavior. But the question comes again, why only IOI has this permission? The male protagonist has been wandering in the dance hall, the street, and the library for a long time. Why is there no other union or Gao Wan to attack him? Unreasonable! There are two explanations for this. First, the IOI level is extremely high, and they may only have this authority in the world. Second, ioi uses a plug-in, and everything can be done by opening it, which can also explain it. But no matter which one it is, this has become the problem mentioned in "Bad Injury Two". IOI has affected the balance of the game, and it is very obvious.
The above bugs made me seem to have seen another big leak like "Back to Earth"! A bit disappointed. Fortunately, the rhythm of the whole film is pretty good, the special effects are a bit unambiguous, and the big scene is also full of feeling, especially the Gundam vs. Godzilla is the most burning place in the film, but after a wave of Gundam, it seems that nothing has worked. I got a bento. This story proves once again that it is absolutely awkward to play wild to cut meat! ! !
Looking closely, Mr. Si is really old as a child, and he even gave up his usual rigorous logic. Many of his childhood-oriented movies (such as ET) still pursued basic rigor. But this time he is really an "old naughty boy", and the many BUG settings in the film make my sci-fi control very interesting. Moreover, the age positioning of the whole film is obviously low. To put it in an exaggeration, it is basically filmed for teenagers, and it is not suitable for me, a science fiction veteran. This is very similar to the new "Pacific Rim 2". "Ring 2" also disappointed me. It completely lost the core of the first part-"Burn", and became a lively science fiction children's film. Just ask, how to burn if it is not tragic? How can you be straight if you are not burnt enough?
In summary, this film is still a popular "memory killing" in recent years, with a large number of games, movies and two-dimensional stalks buried in it. On the surface, it is a future science fiction film, but in fact it sells a mixture of new and old games. , Can be regarded as the super-good-looking "Invincible Destruction King" in the past two years, the live-action high-profile version. But unfortunately, Lao Si still doesn't understand gamers enough. The rigor of the whole film is not even as good as this cartoon. It's really a pity that such a good subject matter is realized in this way.
To sum it up in one sentence, people who don't understand the game can't understand it, and people who really understand the game can't.
Finally, the movie "Oasis" is set as an MMORPG role-playing game. Let alone the popular era of this kind of game is over long ago (think of the ancient Warcraft), even if relying on virtual reality can make this type popular again , Can also see a problem. That is, Old Man Si is really not what it used to be, and his ideas are no longer advanced, unable to lead the times. When he was at his peak, I believe he would definitely be able to come up with an advanced and super dick idea, but unfortunately it would never be possible anymore. Looking back at the recent works of the old man, and then looking at the recent works of his contemporaries, it can only be said that Hollywood as a whole is in decline. Western film culture represented by the United States has also come to an end. Nowadays, mobile payment around our people has been very popular. Looking at Europe and the United States, many places do not even cover 4G signals. It is inevitable that they are slowly falling behind. Sadly, the era of Hollywood film masters that we grew up with will also come to an end.
Written at the end, I admit that my logic is not unbreakable, but it is enough to allow people to find so many "mutilations", and it is enough to reflect that the film really has many shortcomings. If you have different opinions, you can leave me a message at any time, and I am willing to discuss it with you.
