"Love" is a subjective product produced after the establishment of human society. Mysterious and mysterious things cannot create more convenience for people's material production, but they attract thousands of people to study and think. From philosophers who study the philosophy of life and death, to young people who are just beginning to fall in love, female poets who describe longing in the ancient courtyard, and also popular romance novelists in modern times. Life never stops, exploration never stops.
In the game, the "love line" must not be missing. It may be a game script written by the game producer early, or it may be a sign of emotional in the plot that players have figured out abnormal emotional dramas by themselves. But no matter which of these two types, they can make the characters in the game fuller and enrich the plot.
is like, everyone knows that Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, "being a hero in life, and being a hero in ghosts when he dies", is what people evaluate him. But there is also the love melancholy of "Yu Ji and Yu Ji do not do anything". Xiang Yu's character of a heroic and heroic figure has become more three-dimensional because of Yu Ji's suicide, leaving behind an eternal masterpiece like "Farewell My Concubine". The same is true in the game. The favorite character in Resident Evil Ada Wang , a mysterious and sexy woman, often difficult to make a choice between a mission and a well-liked male protagonist, portraying Ada Wang's character more deeply, and making it difficult to guess the direction of the game plot.
Therefore, asking what love is in the world is one of the puzzles that humans have not solved so far. But this "love" plays an important part in the game, with less flavor and more, and more, it seems redundant.
Add a character with a fuller personality
Many games do not bury "love lines", and upgrade to fight monsters as the mainstream, mainstream passionate or puzzles, humanities or history, but some games set love lines, not only make the game theme intriguing, but also leave behind gentle and full characters.
Tifa Lockhart, one of the most popular female characters in the history of the game, comes from "Final Fantasy 7". In the game, the player plays as claude , and Tifa is the girlfriend who protects and accompanys the male protagonist in the game. Claude's main mission is a typical "save the world" and "personal heroism". Even if the game is interspersed with various tasks of the protagonist, collecting clues from various parties of the Shinra organization, or attacking the tentacles inserted by Shinra in the world, blind missions and puzzles may still not save Claude's flat character.
So two "love lines" are interspersed in the game, Claude's memory is confused. Due to the role of Genova's cell, his behavior occasionally looks a bit like the second female second female Iris' first love boyfriend, but Claude and the first female Tifa are childhood sweethearts. So the somewhat entangled love triangle unfolds in the game. It is also during this process that the player recognizes the character of Tifa and is designed very well to his liking. She is not blind for love and is tolerant and tolerant. In the game, she never expressed her love for Claude explicitly, but in her behavior and words, players always feel the tender love from Tifa.
Because of the foreshadowing of the emotional line of "secret love", players are happy to tell the story of Tifa and Claude, and they are full of hope for a perfect girlfriend like Tifa. Let Tifa's name be on the "One of the Most Popular Female Characters" rankings for many years. She is not only the NPC that helped Cloud grow up, but also the childhood sweetheart who makes Cloud's emotional world no longer pale.
Because of love, the plot is carried out
Sometimes, "what should be used to make the protagonist save the world" is a question worthy of both players and game producers. It can be for family affection, just like the plot started after the dragon discovered his father disappeared in "The Legend of Ninja Dragon Sword"; it can be for mission, just like the great efforts of the 2B sister in " Neil : Mechanical Age"; it can also be for revenge, because of the demise of the perfect family, Alex started the road to revenge with hatred...
So, because of "love", he can also start the path of saving the protagonist.In "Death Space", the male protagonist Isaac is really a character who does not save the world. His love story with his girlfriend Nicole is ranked "the most touching game couple characters".
Ni is a senior medical staff member. Because he was working on Shicun, the male protagonist Isaac noticed a hidden crisis during another video call, so he applied to work as an engineer at Shicun. But the tragedy was destined before he landed on the Shimura. Nicole had been infected with the virus and turned into a monster, while Isaac was still searching for her. During the first search, Isaac was attacked by a monster and lost his memory, but he was in disguise and had the "sign of God" and was the hope of human beings to break through the monster's defense line.
But Isaac said, "I`m not a hero, not before, now is not." He never thought of saving the world, just to regain the memories of the three years he lost, to retrieve his girlfriend Nicole. But the tragedy has been written long ago. When Isaac learned the truth and faced Nicole who had lost his mind, the scene was really sad. Such a love line makes the game plot logical, and more importantly, it also writes about a unique love.
Love makes people blind, but cannot be blind love
People often say that love makes people blind, so we cannot be blind love, we need to keep our eyes open and recognize the object. In the game, there is another saying that "love" serves the game plot, but cannot let the game plot love because of "love".
In the text detective mobile game " Detective : Night Marriage", the most helpless thing is the collection of "real endings". It is necessary to fill the favorable attitude of the heroine Tianxia's young lady in order to make the protagonist, the player finally discover that the only two people who were in action were always in Tianxia and Wang Jue, and Wang Jue's good brother Lin Ling had long been dead, and as a personality, he was attached to Wang Jue's mind.
After many players played the night wedding chapter, they were very satisfied with the other ones except for the emotional line between Tianxia and Wang Jue. First, this line does not have much impact on the plot. In the end, the player opens the real ending, which is actually related to personality splitting. He only feels that the plot direction seems to be showing off his cleverness, which is not as shocking as the dream ending; second, in fact, many players prefer to have no "emotional lines" when playing games. They can add emotions for the game, but they cannot blindly add or reduce or change the plot of the game for the sake of feelings.
is like "Tomb Raider". In such a classic game, the heroine Laura is also a character that everyone loves. Why hasn't there been a definite Laura CP in more than ten years? Laura is a tough, beautiful, sexy and intelligent woman. There are many people who secretly love her in the game, but she never likes her, and she has a great reputation for being a kwee friend. In the 9th generation, Alex's secret love for Laura never confessed. He got Laura's kiss before he died, so he became a public enemy of the whole people. Fortunately, he died, otherwise the outcome might be even worse.
This is also one of the reasons why Laura has no partner from beginning to end. One is that Laura is a popular goddess, and any male character paired with Laura may be subject to unanimous resistance between inside and outside the game; the second is that Laura is too perfect and powerful, and it is hard to imagine such a woman who can fight monsters and wits and courage in martial arts, and what kind of male character can match her. So EIDOS did not pave the love line for Laura, which was probably one of the most sensible things they did.
summary: The preparation of
"Love Line" will make Tifa's image deeply rooted in people's hearts and full and deep; it will also allow Isaac to find the secrets and the source of the virus for Nicole to serve the plot; but too many preparations of emotional lines will also make the plot appear redundant. Love is a ingredient in the game, and it is really unnecessary.
