< Platform Battle - Hunting Battle (1) >
Episode 239
In order to be selected as a competition game – even if it is a competition with only two teams – several conditions must be met.
Apart from all external conditions, if we look only at the conditions of the game itself, the conditions were as follows.
The first is that it should be the kind of game where teams compete against each other.
A game that overcomes obstacles by working together is absolutely not suitable as a game for competitions.
It was a natural condition to decide the superiority among participating teams and determine who was the winner.
And it’s not bad in a way like a record competition, but usually the participating teams would compete directly to determine the winner.
The second is that the time it takes for each version of the game should not be too long.
A game for competitions means that there are relays such as relays and commentators, and there are viewers who are watching it.
But what if each game takes dozens of hours to play?
The broadcasters are tired, and so are the viewers.
The players participating in the tournament are no different.
Therefore, the play time per game had to be neither too short nor too long.
The third and most important thing is that it has to be pleasing to look at.
Second to the fun of playing, it had to be overflowing with fun for viewers to see and enjoy.
Only then will many people see the contest and the contest will be a success.
And this had a big impact on how the first condition is usually the way the two teams compete directly.
Competing for records is interesting, but it means that you usually choose the latter because it doesn’t taste as good as a direct competition.
In addition, there were many detailed conditions.
The more realistic the circumstances involved in the competition, the more conditions that must be overcome.
Therefore, there was a long discussion on Tricky TV and Atlantis TV about which game to select as an event in the platform match.
In addition to the three basic conditions, we had to find a game that satisfies the conditions set forth by each platform.
As it is a battle for the pride of the platform, each platform took this discussion seriously, and finally decided on a game.
Even sooner than the scheduled time.
In fact, it had an interesting secret.
What Tricky TV focused on for this platform game game was that it had to be a game that could run wild with ‘physical’.
If it’s just a game like that, it just kind of exudes a sense of OK.
Of course, the Atlantis TV side took it and ate it, asking what kind of rice cake it was, but that was the target of Tricky TV.
Norim-su believed in Do-hyeon’s existence on their team’s roster.
Of course, Atlantis TV also knew of Do-hyun’s existence, but it was Do-hyun who was hard to stop even knowingly, so I chose the game with the feeling that I was just giving up what I had to give up and taking care of what I had to take care of.
The so-called ‘Give me something!’ I guess it’s the same feeling.
arguing
The game decided as such was soon announced after consultations on each platform.
This fact was known to the broadcasters through the mouths of viewers who were closely watching the platform battles.
To the participants including Dohyeon and Jia.
So they met again in one waiting room after the team face-to-face.
Finally, beyond determining the number of people and deciding on the game, the pre-practice of the platform battle began…
“As you all know.”
It was Airan who spoke first.
She, who appeared as the team leader of ‘Americano Good’ in the Trickers, was a woman with game talent enough to wear a master in Psychic Wars, and to have a high tier in various games.
In addition, the fact that he led a team in the Trickers—even though he tasted the bitter taste of being eliminated from the speed of light in the first match, was unavoidable—he took the role of the team leader of this platform matchup team.
If Dohyun had expressed his greed for the position of team leader, of course, it would have been his.
‘Why bother me?’
Do-hyeon, who did not like to lead others, lightly rejected the team leader’s proposal.
He had a very bad image for the position of ‘team leader’, who had once taken the position of team leader during his university life.
I don’t know if there is a reward for that.
Because I didn’t want to lose strength in something that wasn’t.
The same goes for Jia, who followed suit.
Eventually, the team leader’s proposal flowed to Ayran, the third candidate, and she accepted it.
Of course, that doesn’t mean she lacks leadership.
She had the ability to lead a team.
Isn’t that proven just by looking at the fact that the team leader’s proposal is the third in a team of six people, following the monster Dohyun and Jia?
“This time, the game to be used in the platform match has been decided.”
Saying that, Ayran manipulated the system.
Soon an image appeared in front of her that appeared to be a game title.
It was an image of people fighting against a huge monster.
At the top of the image, the sentence that appears as the title of the game was embedded in it as if asking for a look, so Dohyun read it with only his eyes.
‘Hunting Battle (Hunting Battle) ~ Rage Assault (Rage Assault).’
“It’s a hunting battle.”
-Is this game a platform game??
-Is the hunting battle true?
– Live, live, use this game as a platform battle; Are Tricky and Atlantis crazy?
It was the name of a game unfamiliar to
Dohyun .
But where was a game or two he didn’t know?
After becoming a personal broadcaster, I tried to gain experience playing various games, but there are still many games in the world.
Of course, as soon as he heard that the game was decided on this, he also investigated this game, hunting battle, in many ways.
So, he wasn’t a complete stranger at all.
I just never did it.
From what he heard, the evaluation of this game was…
“······································ Up to a group task, a game in which a team must be formed. It is a game that receives such evaluation.”
– No, what is the evaluation hahaha
-Are you crazy about group assignments with games?
– But if you really do that, only those words come out.
– Ah, ah, ah… That nightmare…
It was just as Iran said.
‘Group task through game’.
This was the sentence that most perfectly evaluated the hunting battle.
The exact way to play the hunting battle was like this.
First, each team collects ‘gold coins’ by hunting monsters that appear on the battlefield.
Return the collected ‘Gold Coins’ to the ‘Storage’ in the center of the battlefield, and repeat until there is a set number.
Every certain number of times, the ‘disruptors’ were sent to the place where the opposing team’s ‘storage’ was, so I had to return the ‘gold coins’ diligently.
Incidentally, if you die, you lose all the ‘gold coins’ you had, so you had to be careful.
When the number of ‘gold coins’ collected in this way reaches a set number, the last boss, ‘giant monster’ will appear.
Whoever hunts the ‘giant monster’ that appears first wins!
Just looking at this, it seems like a record competition type of game, but the hunting battle exquisitely includes direct confrontation elements.
‘Isn’t it because other teams are interfering with entering the battlefield?’
That was ‘intrusion’.
Under certain conditions, one of the team members may advance to the battlefield of the other team.
A team member who has passed that way becomes an ‘intruder’ and can interfere with other teams, and the ‘intruder’ receives various benefits that help to interfere.
Even if you die by an ‘intruder’, you lose all the ‘gold coins’ you have collected.
Therefore, how effectively ‘intruders’ were excluded and how well they interfered with the opposing team as ‘intruders’ were also factors in determining victory.
“I had a lot of fun doing this. I didn’t feel like I was doing a group assignment…”
Cocoana, one of the team members, said tilting her head.
He appeared in the Trickers as a member of a team with no team name, and achieved the Grand Master tier in Psychic Wars.
Of course, the reason was obvious.
-That’s you….
– Choin riding a white horse who will lead the group task
-It’s fun if you’re confident in your physical abilities.
– A fun game is possible hahahaha
“It’s not too bad if you’re confident that you can do everything on your own. I did it pretty well.”
Another member of the team, Suhan, brought Cocoana.
He shrugged his shoulders as he was selected for the Tricky TV team due to his decent physical and game management skills.
Those words were certainly sincere.
Collect ‘gold coins’ by quickly killing monsters.
After going to the battlefield of the opposing team as an ‘Intruder’ and playing a match.
If even the last ‘giant monster’ could be defeated by himself.
if it is possible to do so. Hunting Battle was never a cancer game.
Regardless of whether it’s easy or not.
-You filthy deceivers.
-That’s why it’s called Gemjalbang (a broadcaster who is good at games)…
– I envy your physical ability to say things like that ㅜㅜ
-Are you bragging about your physique in front of the final boss?
“The important thing is not how the game gets evaluated. Wouldn’t it be better to discuss how to strategize first?”
The last member of the team, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, brought back the story that had gone astray for a while.
He was, like other team members, a broadcaster who was active based on excellent physical strength, and was chosen by Tricky TV for that reason.
At his words, the team leader, Airan, nodded.
“First, let’s talk about role allocation.”
There are no separate jobs in hunting battles.
Instead, there are only different kinds of skills.
Gamers had to combine six skills to complete their character before the game started.
What this means is that if the combination of skills is configured defensively, the character will be distinguished as a tanker, and if configured aggressively, it will become a dealer.
“For now, one ‘guard’ is absolutely essential, and I want to have one more as a sub.
What Ayran was talking about was character distinction based on skill composition.
It wasn’t exactly what it was called in the hunting battle game.
Rather, it is correct to say that it is a distinction made by gamers who play games separately.
Guard is a group of roles that refer to those who defend their team members from attacks by monsters by forming a combination of skills defensively.
Hunters, as opposed to guards, consisted of a minimum of defensive skills—just one survival period—and the rest were a group of people who made them suitable for hunting monsters.
And it is true that Killer has an aggressive skill composition like the Hunters, but the difference with them is that they are aggressive ‘to whom’.
Unlike the Hunter, who can effectively hunt monsters, the Killer’s skills are only suitable for hunting people on the enemy team.
“I’ll do the ‘guard’. I think tanks are fun these days.”
– Going to be a water-Korean tank
-He used to be a guard too??
-I do it often. all round
– Being good at everything is Suhani’s strength!
Suhan took the first step and expressed his opinion.
Ayran nodded at his words that he would take on the role of a guard.
she asked
“Among the rest, who wants to be a ‘guard’?”
The team members looked at each other and shook their heads.
Because I didn’t want to take the role of ‘guard’ from Soo-han, who came first.
Ayran nodded her head once more at their reaction and let out a sob and snort.
“Then the rest of us are ‘Hunters’. ‘Killers’ are-“
All but the ‘Guard’ are ‘Hunters’.
Of course, one of them had to take on the role of a ‘killer’ to invade the enemy team’s battlefield and torment them.
In fact, Ayran knew.
Not only her, but also all of her teammates here.
And probably everyone who is watching this show knows.
That there is only one person who is qualified to take on the role of ‘killer’ here.
“Would Kratos-sama take care of it?”
That one and only character.
Dohyun smiled at Airan’s suggestion.
