Bai Zhiyuan once saw a post on a forum: What exactly is men's romance?
This seems to be an eternal topic, and perhaps everyone will give a different answer.
But since June, the answer to this topic has gradually become consistent—
Titanfall!
After all, how many men can resist the charm of mechs?
Today, Bai Zhiyuan wants to reiterate one point: Titanfall—it's not just men's romance!
It is the common romance of gamers worldwide!
As the first VR shooter developed by Lingjing Studio, since its release in June, apart from the first day of obscurity, there have been at least two hot searches every day afterwards.
This is the charm of the game itself!
It's worth noting that June was a month of intense competition, with Bao Xue and Rentian on the horizon, and then Zhu Chang and E Chang's magnum opus, their first VR game hailed as the best of the year.
Compared to these 'superstars' who debuted at their peak with full promotional budgets, Lingjing only had the limited popularity accumulated from its previous games. But how many well-known games does each of these major studios have?
Moreover, Lingjing had a fierce confrontation with Bao Xue in February. Although it was a narrow victory, it consumed a lot of time and resources.
Compared to these giants, Titanfall was, at best, a supporting extra. No one believed that Lingjing could produce another high-quality VR game in just four months.
Titanfall was, at most, a bandwagon product riding on the mech gimmick to generate hype, so its lukewarm reception was only normal.
At least, that's what most observers in the market thought at the time. Bai Zhiyuan didn't underestimate Lu Li's technical skills, but she was genuinely worried that time was running out for Lingjing.
Indeed, the script for the first day was unfolding in this direction.
Titanfall's story was a linear narrative without any branches, which led players to spend the first day in the monotonous training ground, constantly practicing basic skills like wall-running, sliding, and double-jumping.
Then, at the last moment before experiencing the virtual mech, something unexpected happened, leaving players eagerly anticipating it.
The discussion was terribly low, and even the trailing hot searches disappeared into the abyss after a brief moment.
Bai Zhiyuan, relying solely on Lu Li's reputation as a living advertisement, spent the entire day tirelessly in the training ground, setting a world record. If it weren't for Lu Li, given the pace, she might not have been able to persist.
Fortunately, all the waiting was worth it.
Bai Zhiyuan fought alongside the protagonist Cooper and his Titan, BT-7274, on the intense and thrilling alien battlefield.
Completing the mission of the Militia, thwarting the IMC.
Cooper and BT were just small figures in this war, and beneath this cruel reality, the faint warmth of these small figures was all the more precious.
This was what touched Bai Zhiyuan the most, because with BT, this cruel war was no longer cold, and this lonely world had a touch of warmth that belonged to her.
During her days fighting alongside BT, she was happy, excited, and enjoyed herself.
However much sweetness there was before, the knife now piercing Bai Zhiyuan's heart was all the more painful.
Drip—!!
Drip—!!
Just recalling it made Bai Zhiyuan's eyes well up with tears, her heart breaking.
"BT...."
