老猫的游戏之旅1--引及中文RPG

        前段时间在lotro上看到一群人在公共频道谈论游戏,看了之后感触良多.虽然他们很多人对于欧美游戏的了解还停留在固定的几个游戏之内,不过不乏有让我睹物伤情之作. 以下游戏,由于有些年数较为久远,有不尽之处敬请谅解.且因为本人非全类型玩家,对于些许类别的游戏有偏颇之处也请一笑而过.
        先从老猫说了解最深刻的三种类型的游戏说起RPG,SLG,FPS.这3类游戏基本上能占到老猫所玩游戏的80%以上.也都有着从面到点的经历.
        先说RPG,我这里要先把RPG分成很多类,因为各类RPG说关注的侧重点都是不同的.首先先分成ARPG和RPG,这样起码不会有如同一大型游戏BBS上,上百页的BG2 VS D2的口水战了.然后继续细分成美式,日式和国产RPG.
        首先从国产RPG说起.记得接触最早的国产RPG是轩辕剑2,当时第一次看到的轩辕剑系列的魔神兽妖鬼人六界的设定,水墨画风格,炼妖壶系统,五行魔法体系一直沿用至今.轩辕剑系列一直到如今的轩辕剑5外传-汉之云可见国产3剑的生命力还是很强的(另外2剑是下文会提到的仙剑奇侠传和剑侠情缘).轩辕剑2是一个很不错的游戏,炼妖壶系统,DOMO工作室都很好玩,还有轩辕剑系列中所拥有的主要矛盾-"敌人所为不一定是错误的,我方所作也不一定是正确的"也包含在了游戏之中.虽然很多东西都只是一个雏形,但是在那个游戏贫乏的时期,真的是个好游戏.
        古语云:轩辕剑看外传,仙剑看正篇这个是很有道理的.轩辕剑的外传一般都会比正篇要好半个到一个档次.轩辕剑2外传-枫之舞就很好的诠释了这一点.如果是轩辕剑2是DOMO当时的试手之作的话(PS.当时轩辕剑2卖的很好,而且有着极高的评价,但是枫之舞更加青出于蓝),枫之舞就是DOMO的一座最耀眼的丰碑.让我们从虚构的设定来到战鼓隆隆,旌旗飘扬的战国战场.大梁,决堤,洪水,炸药,机关人.墨子门徒辅子辙,大概根本意想不到即将迎接他的重大阴谋.失落之后再一次重现的机关术,天下第一工匠公输般,朦胧爱情的火种,诸侯君臣权力的游戏,师兄弟中恩怨情仇,父女之间亲情大义...种种种种都被很好的诠释.只到今天大多数人还在缅怀仙剑带给他们的刻骨铭心的悲伤之外,老猫也放不下对枫之舞的喜爱.轩3走的是西方魔王的剧情,年代久远影响不深,只记得赛特,尼克,威尼斯,撒旦.剧情已然忘的七七八八,已经拼凑不起剧本来了.3外传--天之痕,一个可以在情感剧情上超越仙剑的佳品.老猫每次在最后选择小雪还是玉儿的时候总是就此把游戏封存,老猫实在是没有办法在这2者间做出抉择,以至于在我以前的PC内有5,6个在同样地点的存档.这个游戏老猫只想说懂得入.轩4完全不出彩,还是正印这那句古话.4外传--苍之涛,又把舞台拉回了春秋战国,又是机关术.同样又是对于历史的另一种诠释,另一种思考.偷天换日,千年轮回,天真无邪的小车子还是当年的小车子(PS.不要拿千年来抬杠),恒哥哥呢?会不会为千年之前(PS.太乙宫内千年是一甲子)的所为后悔?轩5也没有什么影响,说的是山海界的故事.5外传--汉之云来到了所有人都熟悉的三国时代,至于之后怎么样,老猫一直没空玩完.也就留给通关的各位来点评.(PS.好像汉之云卖的不错,DOMO有汉之云外传的消息.)
        说完了轩辕剑,再来说说大家熟悉的仙剑也就是仙剑奇侠传."仙剑奇侠"四个字很好的概括了仙剑的.最为一个老猫可以闭着眼走出所有迷宫的游戏来说,仙剑很好的填补了老猫小学3,4年级及预备班初一的时光.即使大学毕业了,仙剑有时还会在老猫的PC内出现.不大的体积(当年可是很大的,老猫当年可是用了一叠1.44''的盘到同学家去如是珍宝的copy回来的,等到小学4年级拿了压岁钱,才用了120元的巨款把它买了下来),快调的战斗(感觉比现在很多传统rpg的节奏还要快,主要还是有快捷键啊),感人的剧情(虽说对于仙剑的剧情,老猫早已免疫,但每次月如被巨石砸中,然后对着冰冷的尸体回忆的时候,每每看到"要吃遍天下"这一段的时候,总是特别伤感.即使是灵儿最后和水魔兽同归于尽之后的回忆与之相比真的差了很多.可能老猫比较喜欢那个娇蛮任性,敢爱敢恨的月如的缘故.说到回忆还有彩衣那段也十分出彩,蝴蝶渐飞渐远,往事历历在目."小小蝴蝶,千年道行,何必呢"酒剑仙如是说.),完美的音乐(要说音乐,这个也是国产RPG和日式RPG的卖点,和剧情沦为一体的BGM总是那么的出彩),甚至是斜45°的2D画面也在当时看来不错的(感叹这10多20年的画面变化,在3D建模,光影,图像学领域完全被美日超越.虽然我不是画面控,但是看着这些画面的差距,真的不知道说些什么好,还是政治问题啊.).经过了仙剑的风光,8年后仙剑的第一部续集出现了:仙剑奇侠传2.仙剑2说的是仙剑之后8年的故事.做完一部饱受批判的新作,其实他做的还算是不错的,但是对于玩家来说,不错是仅仅不够的,在孩童时期,仙剑如同一个烙印一样被永远的封存在心中,使之对于2代的期盼也愈来愈强烈.所谓怕得越高跌得越重,这强烈的期盼之情换来的却是一部仅仅不错的作品,是玩家所不能接受的.从老猫的观点来看仙剑2,平直的剧情是最大的败笔,没有如同1代的跌宕起伏的剧情来做为脊髓,高潮又动荡不明显,对于宽恕这一主题的诠释完全没有轩辕剑来的深刻.在上海软星接手仙剑系列的后作时,还名不见经传.仙剑3的出现使他成为了一个出色的国产RPG制作组.3代讲的是仙剑1之前时代的仙剑故事.在剧情上,虽然还是要逊色于仙剑1,但是相较于其他RPG来说,他已经做的够好了.虽然也有如同天之痕一般的女主角选择,但是还好有一个完美结局等着玩家.老猫仙剑作品中第二喜欢的人物就出于这代,小葵(^ ^ PS.第一是月如:)).对于角色的刻画,这代也做的很好,贪财的景天,刁民无理的雪见,?的小葵(PS.红衣小葵和蓝衣小葵完全2种性格,老猫还是喜欢那红衣小葵,特别是那直话直说和吐槽的性格),古板的长卿(感觉长卿的古板是因为成长在蜀山的缘故,又有多少人能同司马钟(酒剑仙)一样呢?),温柔的紫萱JJ还有那帅气十足的重楼(PS.老猫感觉不是因为重楼作为实力过强的魔尊,不至于沦落到一个配角的地步啊.每次重楼出场都有一个强大的气场).以轮回作为主题,飞蓬,重楼;飞蓬,夕瑶;太子龙阳,小葵;长卿,紫萱三世爱情.随着3代的热卖,随后上软又推出了3代的外传--问情篇.问世间 情为何物 直教生死相许 元好问的摸鱼儿,一直为人所熟知.但又有多少人能真正的弄明白所谓的"情"倒是是何物?每个人所能定义的情都是不尽相同的,问情篇就是以一个视角来给出了情为何物的结果.这里的情不止是我们所一般认为的爱情,还有那亲情和友情.问情篇给老猫留下的印象不是十分深刻(玩的不多,而且是比较久之前的了),回想起来,就只能想起几个片段,等老猫有空再战之后再来填空.最后是软星的最后一部作品:仙剑4.仙剑4当时出来的感觉就如同98年MM6的出现一样,如同给国产单机游戏注入了一针强心剂.在这个物欲横流的社会中,如同一缕清风.这个游戏老猫不想多说,如果你没有玩过,去买套玩下吧,肯定不会让你后悔.
        现在只剩下最后一剑了--剑侠情缘.剑侠情缘是以ARPG的形式来表现的.当年的ARPG形式的游戏老猫所能回忆起来的有天龙八部(开始难度极高,段誉在无量洞底独占4僵尸,老猫当时尝试了n久,真的太难了.不过后期还行.那场无量洞底的那场战斗,老猫到现在还记忆犹新,可谓是惊世骇俗),笑傲江湖(又是金庸先生作品改编的游戏,记得影响比较深的是,当学会独孤九剑之后,战斗可以选择敌人的部位来进行攻击,可能会打掉对方很多血,又可能对方不掉血而自己掉很多血,很有抓敌破绽,料敌机先的感觉.可谓是无招胜有招的一种很好的实现),Diablo(这个不用老猫介绍了吧,大名鼎鼎的Blizzard的旷世奇作).而剑侠情缘缺在当时脱颖而出,主要还是那流畅的战斗和不错的剧情.虽然流畅度什么的不能和Diablo这种巨作来比,但是符合国人口味的武侠风格还是让他在老猫心中记下了名字.之后的2,3老猫没有玩过(也许玩过,不过老猫也忘记了).只不过之后听说了剑侠要出网络版了(金山的圈钱活动,以及推出单机市场的信号),老猫也就稍许关心了下.其他不怎么样.
        说完了国产3剑,就有个不可不提的RPG名字:幻想三国志.幻三作为宇峻开发的一款架空在三国时代之上的RPG来说,他做的十分出色.从1~4每代都有所突破并且都相当出彩.以至于幻三2还被作为第一款(?)引进到日本的RPG.即使在JRPG的各个大作下,幻三2还能卖出相当的水准,可见其魅力.
        好了,最后列一点老猫还有所印象的国产RPG的名字,这些游戏总有这这样或者那样的闪光点才会被老猫所记住.如果你有什么具体的想和老猫来交流,欢迎联系老猫.智冠的金庸群侠传(开放,自由),武林群侠传(虽然是金庸群侠传出名之后的借鉴之做,但是完全不同,且制作精良),风云天下会(游戏不错,但是迷宫也很大),大宇的阿猫阿狗(轻松,另类),汉堂的天地劫系列(十分赞的游戏),然后是一堆金庸作品改编的游戏,倚天屠龙记,神雕侠侣,鹿鼎记,还有上面说的天龙八部,笑傲江湖,好像金庸先生的武侠小说大多都被搬上了游戏舞台,古龙先生的武林群侠传,古龙群侠传,玩花洗剑录,楚留香传奇系列,绝代双骄系列,然后是新蜀山剑侠传,邪神(可关闭地雷)等.从上面可以看出很多中文RPG都是以武侠小说为蓝本创作的,但真正能达到小说效果的可以说是寥寥无几.而非武侠小说,原创剧情的游戏却大多可以达到一个比较高的高度,这个说明了什么了呢?
        最近刚回国,听说烛龙开发了一款叫做古剑奇谭的游戏,有兴趣入一套看看工长君和原上软团队的新作如何.

/** 等有时间继续 不是bbs没有办法版聊 码字辛苦 */
/** 现在有了3机之后,很久没有玩PC-Game了.也许是因为各个开发商都把游戏平台转移到了主机平台上(PS.主要也是国内的政策问题,大多数游戏都不引进.只能买主机版本.),更多的是本来就不繁荣的单机市场被网络游戏挤兑的没有生存的空间了. 老猫也在这里希望那些为了自己的梦想的人们,不要放弃.因为你们身后站着的是有着和你们相同梦想的玩家. */
老猫对于国产RPG的故事就差不多讲完了,下回来说说美式RPG.

未完待续.

The 1:1 Scale Gundam

As the 30th anniversary of the Gundam is coming. Last Sunday, I’ve gone to see the 1:1 scale Gundam at the Daiba. I got there at the early morning, but there were a large crowed have gathered around the huge 18m-height Gundam already, furthermore, even more people queued up from the shop what sells the 30th anniversary’s memorial items such as models, T-shirts, official books, post cards, etc.
After taking a bit of pictures of the huge Gundam, I began to join the queue. At the rear of the queue, there was a staff held a sign of the waiting time. It read 1.5h support to be taken. It was cursory estimated that the number of persons who lined before me is over 100. Though, I’d known the Japanese like standing in a line, I cannot image when did they come and make the queue. 45m has past, I’ve been at the side of the shop, and looked back of the queue, there were more people in the line, the line has been even longer than I began queuing up at the first time. More 30m, I’ve reached the top of queue. After quickly glancing the goods in the tent(shop) to decide what to buy in it. Took basket, picked goods, queued up again to check out. After that, I notice there was a Japanese post spot near the tent. What your first instinct? Goods moved in by this way? Your half right, but not only move in, you can also post your goods what you had bought to your home for only 300 yen. How convenient and thoughtful.
Then, it should be taken pictures of the 1:1 scale Gundam. Got off the shop and true to the square what Gundam stood. At the outside of the square, there was a huge crowd already. Squashing in and out for looking for spots to take pictures from every angle. Next, it was queuing again, for touching the real steel of the Gundam from its bottom.
After that, we had the lunch and went to the hotel what had prearranged for a rest. Looking down from the hotel in the 2pm, the queue is even longer than the morning. Below the brightly shinning sun, I’m sincere admire theirs perseverance. (To be continued…)

Clear up the room

There is every thing in my room is mess because of my laziness. I finally cannot look at athis anymore, thus, I’ve cleared it up today for an entire hour. Following is result:

If i ain't got you

some people live for the fortune
some people live just for the fame
some people live for the power yeah
some people live just to play the game
some people think that the physical things
define what's within
i've been there before
but that life's a bore
so full of the superficial

some people want it all
but i don't want nothing at all
if it ain't you baby
if i ain't got you baby

some people want diamond rings
some just want everything
but everything means nothing
if i ain't got you

some people search for a fountain
promises forever young
some people need three dozen roses
and that's the only way to prove you love them

and in a world on a silver platter
and wondering what it means
no one to share, no one who truly cares for me

some people want it all
but i don't want nothing at all
if it ain't you baby
if i ain't got you baby
some people want diamond rings
some just want everything
but everything means nothing
if i ain't got you

some people want it all
but i don't want nothing at all
if it ain't you baby
if i ain't got you baby
some people want diamond rings
some just want everything
but everything means nothing
if i ain't got you

if i ain't got you with me baby
nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
if i ain't got you with me baby

Oracle to buy Sun

7.4billion dollars, Oracle buys Sun. It’s a commercial transaction, but what’s the future of MySql and Glassfish as Oracle has its own business produce Oracle and WebLogic. Is this the open-source’s ending? Is there no free lunch?

Untitled

Last weekend, I’ve seen sakura in Ueno park. Though I’ve been in Japan over a year, I hadn’t seen them before because they’d withered when I got in Japan at the first time. I have imagination about the sakura only from the animation, the beautiful scene that sakura twisted fall from the tree and flutter in the breeze. Walk through the pink carpet made by petals, so gorgeous. But when you face to the fact, It isn’t like what your thought. In the packed park, people have already taken a seat under the sakura trees linearly, drinking and talking. Seeing sakura means gathering family together for Japanese. Walking through the crowd, feeling the breeze waft across face, seeing the falling petals fluttering by the wind, down to the road. It’s also a beautiful scene if you observe carefully, though it is not as perfect as what thought before. When I decided getting back, passed through a small lake what circled by the sakura trees and many ducks over it. Pink sakura trees and green willows weave together alone the bank, plus the floating ducks, how harmonious scene.

Nervous or Coward?

I hadn't been nervous since I was born. I also thought myself who's with courage, and whatever I met in my life even it was hard or beyond my power, I would underestimate it at all and got anything funny to laugh. But today, I've met the feeling of nervous at first time.

I'd decided to make a phone call to her since noon, however, every time I tried to do so, I was timid. There were always a large amount of questions tangled me, what should I do or how should I do, even when I played the games or watching the movies. I hadn't been such confused before. The first time, played games with a such emotion, they seemed there was no attraction any more for me, and my mind was twisted. Until I did have made a phone call just now, I was also lost. I've no idea what to talk about and how to. With the passive reply, I've been lost more. Always says that care too much, mess too much. I've gotten it now.

I'm an atheist, but now I actually need the guide of something almighty.

Analyzing genres of the game that I’d played

After reading the reviews and adding the miss game that not in my game list in gamespot. I start to review the games what I marked “collection”.
It’s obviously to see that the games of role-play genre is the most what take nearly 41%(including action role-play games), followed are genre of first-person shooting(13.6%), strategy(11%), simulation(7.2%), real-time strategy(6.3%), adventure(5.5%), racing(3.6%), MMORPG(3.6%) and fighting(0.9%).

推片

繁忙的日子过去了.最近到家的时间是越来越早了,昨天7点半就到家了.但却在这时发现寂寞的空洞.到家没事做.有时只有把老片拿出来看看,新片实在是出的太慢了.有时躺着看着看着就犯迷糊了,不是片子不好看,而是心中总是些什么实在是难以平定下来.有时候想想做一个什么都不知道的人是多么幸福的事,知道的多了反而会有所困扰.
这两天唯一看的一部新片就是Pixar的.Pixar的3D动画每年都是让人期待的,今年也不例外.的前30-40分钟除了音效及的片段之外,完全是寂静.仅仅是靠肢体语言和表情来表现机器人的内心,可谓别具匠心.在以爱情为主线的轻喜剧中,不禁令人反思,生活在现实社会的人类对于爱情的诠释还不如那冰冷的AI,可悲可叹.Walle和Eva在Axiom外的飞舞的那一段是留给我印象最深刻的一段了,中间还有captain在那里要计算机去define dance,而世界上已经没有任何dance比得上这舞动着的一蓝一白两条曲线了.之后又是很深刻的2个问题环境问题和过度依赖计算机.环境问题在影片一开始那广角表现出灰暗的城市就可见一斑了,而随着2个人类惊呼There's a pool, I even havn’t known.和captain的姗姗学步一露无疑.其他就不剧透了,有兴趣的可以去看看,比要好看,今年2月底的Oscar很有希望.而且非常适合和女人一起看,痛苦我没有女人- -(ps.最后的staff和cast不要错过,做的很可爱,而且音乐不错).
继续推荐一部动画,很赞,不过太短,12话.
TV Show 追上了进度,没有看过的话,强力推荐.

2009第一篇

      转眼间2008已经夹着风声擦过脸侧,2009迎面而来.在过去的一年中,有过欢笑也有过泪水,有过悠然亦有过惆怅.不过过去的就让它过去.明天又会是新的一天.
      直到今天再来祝大家新年快乐,心想事成!
      ps.最后再爆一张房间图,主要是炫耀吃的哈.
