GMSHP Chapter 156: This Game Still Playable?

Chapter 156: This Game Still Playable?

For players of Dark Souls, the feeling could only be described as “it’s New Year’s again.”

Some even felt that hearing news about a prequel was more exciting than the New Year itself for many die-hard Dark Souls fans.

Meanwhile, in the office of Nebula Games, Anna, Rachel, Hector, and the others sitting in the meeting room were all completely confused.

Players outside were beyond excited, major game media were all reportin...

Chapter 155: Excited Players

Compared to when it first launched, It Takes Two has cooled down a bit.

After all, the game doesn’t have much replay value.

Unlike Dark Souls, which has many strategies, the core of It Takes Two lies in its clever level design.

Once players have experienced the levels and item combinations, the only new fun comes from playing with a different partner.

The game itself no longer feels fresh to those who’ve finished it.

“Why is he still changing…?!”

“And what is that weird thing?”

Naruto bent slightly forward, resting his hands on his knees, standing on the near-vertical wall of the training field.

They had been fighting Gaara down below for a long time, but instead of being defeated, he kept changing further.

“This isn’t going to work…”

Sasuke barely managed to stand next to Naruto, taking a deep breath with a frown.

Naruto’s words made Konohamaru go silent. He stopped resisting and let Naruto take him away.

Before leaving, Naruto patted Tsunade on the shoulder. “Do your job properly!”

Tsunade: “......”

“Yeah.” Naruto nodded.

That evening, as soon as the show aired, the work chat exploded.

With top ratings from both the media and players, and with hot discussion threads in every gaming community and forum, the hype around It Takes Two kept rising.

As the first batch of players finish the game, the content sparks a lot of discussion.

“To be honest, this is probably the most fun game of the year so far!”

Before playing It Takes Two, neither Zack nor Hannah had ever imagined such a large-scale co-op game.

After playing for an entire day, it felt like they had only experienced about half of it.

And even in the later parts of the story, It Takes Two still kept up its earlier brilliance.

The cutie scene, while reducing some of the earlier joy, added a bit of weight to the journey.

The four of them just stood frozen, not moving, letting the flood of knowledge crash into their brains.

She stood before their graves for a long time, unwilling to leave until the next sunrise.

The first rays of sunlight shone through Dan and Nawaki’s tombstones and fell on Tsunade, as if giving her an unknown mission.

In his past life, the game that used this idea best was Breath of the Wild.

Split-screen was indeed an old-school design.

Nowadays, in the age of online gaming, multiplayer games rarely require players to share the same screen.

So for two-player games back then, local split-screen was the norm.
