Genius Archer's Stream Part 2 - Episode 299
18. thorough verification(2)
This morning, on the way to work.
The staff at the Hitman Simulator booth all had the same thought..
‘Hi-Hi. Honey.’
‘I'm going to quit today.’
‘It will be comfortable.’
Just yesterday, all kinds of trials came upon us. How happiness comes after trials.
Thanks to getting rid of the pain all at once, I plan to be much more relaxed today..
First of all, customer service will become easier..
That's because there are no challenge points..
The number of gamers itself will decrease significantly..
‘There won't be any of those damn streamers..’
Plus, the streamer isn't coming either..
Streamers need a broadcasting distance to appear..
Would any streamer come to a normal shooting game that doesn't even provide a single challenge point??
Hi-Hi. A situation that brings smiles to the faces of employees..
“ah. Because I don’t think there are people walking around with that camera. I feel very refreshed. right?”
“that's right. that's right. There's really a lot to worry about..”
It may not be a big deal, but when streamers come, the camera starts recording and broadcasting live, and the booth staff has more to worry about..
What if something that could be misunderstood gets caught on camera? What if something goes wrong and it gets exposed on live broadcast?…….
There are many cases where even a small controversy becomes a big controversy if the video remains..
The staff is on high alert when even famous game reviewers come to visit..
“Most of the reviewers came. It looks like there won't be any real streamers coming now..”
No reviewers, no streamers, few gamers.
Now all you have to do is enjoy your business trip comfortably..
Yeah, I had to..
clearly…….
* * *
buzzing.
“and. Today is no joke. What do you mean??”
Manager who came to work late.
Before he got close to the booth, he thought for sure that the line had nothing to do with him..
“What games were there near us??”
“hmm… … It was mostly a mobile game. Are you holding an event??”
“G-Star itself is an event, so why hold another event??”
The staff also scratched their heads and wondered,.
That too for a while.
Just don't care.
“Whatever it is, that booth doesn't look good today.!”
“That's right!”
It's not my job!
Hahahoho, the two of them smile and head towards their booth with brisk steps..
However, the laughter did not last long.
Every time I get closer to the booth, I start to feel a strange sense of foreboding..
“uh… … Manager. This is somehow…….”
Don’t you think the line extends all the way to our booth?! Words that are not spoken out loud eventually become reality..
The moment you see the entrance to the Hitman booth.
“!”
“!?”
The two stopped walking in shock..
This long, long, monster-like line had its head cut off at the entrance to the Hitman booth..
* * *
The Hitman booth was packed with unexpected customers from the morning..
The manager sneaks inside and hears about the current situation..
“what!? Want me to do a challenge?! There are no points, what are you talking about??”
It's a mess as soon as you come in..
“I just want to open it because I don’t have to give it any points! Just do what Almond did.!”
If you don't have to give points, why do the challenge??
“no. What do you mean by doing it because you don't have to give points??”
“well…….”
The employees looking at them just scratch their heads..
“Do I just want to play a game??”
“Then there is just a demonstration. Please do it in challenge mode..”
“Yes…….”
Since I just wanted to play the game, I asked them to use the same challenge system I used yesterday..
There were people who came and said exactly what Almond did..
Only then did the manager realize.
Ting! A refreshing sound rings in your head and the feeling of an old hangover disappearing..
“ah! This is just that! that!”
I see! That was it! We made the right choice! advertising model!
On the other hand, the employee tilts his head.
“That's it……?”
Hi go.
The manager pounded his chest in frustration..
“noise marketing!”
It wasn't a very accurate expression, but the general composition was correct..
This game became famous because of the controversy surrounding almonds, and now it's clear that people are coming to play the game because of the controversy..
To summarize:.
“We hit the jackpot!”
oh my god.
* * *
You might ask, “Controversy is controversy, why do you come to play the game?”.
The reason could be guessed by looking near the people in line who were broadcasting..
“ah. yes. I came to try Almond’s controversial ‘that game’. Ah, but now there's a problem…….”
First of all, streamers come because there is a benefit in itself to playing a game that attracts controversy and attention..
That was the first reason.
“……Almond stole all the challenge points! You can't really receive challenge points! They say you can try the challenge even if you don't get the points? Is it possible for me to receive those points? Let's take a look.”
The second reason is a kind of ‘verification’.
What level of play did Almond have and is it worth the points? Honestly, as a casual viewer, I have no idea..
4.1㎞ This is because, except for sniping, there are no scenes that accurately convey the level of difficulty..
Maybe that's why there were reactions like this in the community:.
[That's such a great play???]
[No, if you just shoot it, it will fall down. What kind of elite agent are you? Haha.]
[That game is just gyakul and Almond found the honey well haha.]
[Run Guys 1st place seems more difficult]
There are streamers who have tried to verify this as their content..
Employees who found out about this were shocked..
“and… … I really came because of that controversy.!”
“This looks easy!?”
“omg… … I'll do what Almond did?”
Of course, it was absurd from their perspective..
Before Almond came, this game had the highest point defense rate among all booths..
I can't believe I got this kind of reaction.
After all, broadcasting and media are scary. Because it looks easy when you just look at it.
……While I'm thinking about things like that.
“But won't everyone soon admit it??”
The manager pointed to the team that entered the capsule first..
Cheeeeeeeek.
Of the four capsules, three were already out and the lids were opening..
“iced coffee! really! It's such a shame!”
“ha. What is this? If the mission fails, you just have to die.?”
“Eh? I only gave 50 points... … ? This is not a bug?”
The three come out lamenting as if they are very disappointed..
What's funny is that two of them weren't even assigned to agent-level difficulty, let alone elite agents..
The difficulty level they received was ‘Trainer’..
It is a medium difficulty level, just one level above the most beginner level, ‘Civilian’..
So, they were filtered out from the tutorial in the first place..
“what… … That's average?”
“yes.”
Rather than saying they are overly bad, that is the average skill originally intended by the game company..
“Fortunately, there are still some people who are doing it..”
Of the four capsules, only one still remains..
That person successfully entered the infiltration mission and the subsequent sniper mission..
“hmm. That's right. That person will be around for a while. But in the first place, it was a difficulty level for trainers..”
“ah… … Right.”
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to surpass Almond..
Because the difficulty level was set to ‘Trainer’.
He even failed terribly in the sniping mission..
Because I was too greedy for distance..
It was possible to survive after the failure, but it could not handle the incoming enemy agents and became a beehive..
Chii Iik……!
After the capsule is opened, he holds his face in regret..
“ah… … ! I'm almost done.”
Fuhot.
The employees had to refrain from laughing at that statement..
No, the difficulty assignment itself was different in the first place, but I almost did everything.?
Even with that level of difficulty, I couldn't even reach where the almonds went..
However, there is no need for the employees to visit you one by one and tell you that you cannot open the game! There was no need to explain.
The machine does the work..
ting!
[points earned: 170]
Once this point calculation is over, you will understand..
170point.
It was a ridiculously low number of points compared to the 8,100 points Almond got..
“no. Isn't this a bug? Does this make sense??”
He approached the employees holding a camera. He seems to be a broadcaster..
“No, how many have I killed? Why are they only giving me 170 bags? They gave 10 packets of almonds to each person.!?”
The difficulty of this game was not intuitive to the player and was misleading..
“The challenger’s difficulty level was ‘Trainer’. Almond was on ‘Elite Agent’ difficulty..”
“……yes?”
Another problem is that people who come here usually don't even know whether the difficulty level of this game exists or not..
People who haven't even watched the videos posted on the Almond channel are suddenly coming to challenge themselves..
“difficulty? There is such a thing?”
“yes. During the first tutorial, things like shooting method, shot accuracy, and reaction speed are decided..”
“……ah. Is there anything else other than the difficulty level I did??”
“Civilian, Trainer, Professional, Agent, Elite Agent..”
“ah… … The trainer... … It was easy..”
The streamer realizes that the difficulty level he was given is only the second-to-last easy version, and makes a sullen expression..
His broadcast chat window is filled with chatter making fun of him..
-They made a fuss about the difficulty level haha.
-Hahahaha Sookyeon……
-Ugh, I recognized it from the moment you came out.
-Almond, here comes one more guy.~!
-ㄹㅇ It was no brainer lol.
There were many people who came to challenge Almond's record..
There are many cases where everyone returns without even being able to achieve the level of difficulty..
They always pointed the camera at the staff and asked.
After hearing the explanation, he returns with the same expression..
This is repeated almost dozens of times..
“and… … Damn it. There are so many people.”
“Even they all ask the same thing. Is this hell by any chance??”
The staff responding was losing strength..
* * *
Was it when the number of streamers and challengers who became so sullen became like a truckload??
“no. How do I get an elite agent? What are the conditions??”
When I hear questions like this, I now just answer in a machine-like voice..
“The first two~ as soon as they appear~ kill~ on the head~ bang~ bang~ kill them all~ and the next three~ kill~ of course~ on the head~ bangbang~ just remember this~ on the first try~ on the head.~”
I could feel how many times these words were repeated in a weak, indifferent voice..
-Hahahaha just record it.
-No, did you memorize it in a song lol?
-Soulless seat lol
All streamers who heard the drooping Requiem look dumbfounded..
“You have to hit all the first enemies with headshots on the first try? It's so hard?”
It's usually hard to show off your skills when playing a game for the first time..
In the meantime, you suddenly have to headshot every enemy that appears for the first time? All on the first try, without wasting a single bullet.?
It was a very difficult condition.
“It's so difficult!”
“That's right~ Elite agents~ have a special~ difficulty~ It's really~ so~ difficult~ difficult~ difficult! Oh, it's difficult!”
It's true that it's difficult. Who is to blame for having such difficulty at the elite agent level in the first place??
The staff gives the same answer countless times to streamers who complain that it doesn't make sense..
“In the first place, if you are not capable of that level, you are an elite agent. The challenge is meaningless. There is no way. Go away. Go away.~”
-Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssshhhh
-Isn’t this Meg? LOL
-No way lol.
-ㅁㅊ Go away, what are you doing?
-I'll add some salt soon.
-Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Streamers who seem offended by soulless answers.
“…….”
But what can you do??
I can't play games!
“Ugh.”
I just have to go back.
In the end, no one has even reached Almond's difficulty level up to this point..
This fact is bound to become a hot topic in the community again..
[Breaking news) Those guys who said they were going to verify it hahaha they all couldn't even achieve the level of difficulty that Almond did hahaha]
