"Wow, this scene is so realistic! It feels like this kind of environment could really exist."
"How much does this game cost? 59 dollars? And you can play it as much as you want? That seems like such a great deal! Just the scene alone makes you want to play!"
"Hey, hey, look! We've found two batteries, does this mean we can finally pilot the Titan mech?"
"Beautiful lady, please hurry and install the batteries! We can't wait to see the Titan in action!"
The girl was playing the game seriously, no longer paying attention to the comments in the chat.
She was completely immersed in the beautiful game world, captivated by it.
At this moment, she had successfully obtained two Titan batteries, and she was equally excited to see the Titan come to life.
Earlier, she had seen the Titan fight during the cutscene.
...
...
But that wasn't the same as controlling it herself. That feeling was completely different.
She placed the second battery into the BT Titan's battery compartment, and finally, BT powered up.
The giant slowly stood up from the ground, then looked at the protagonist.
"Iron Pilot Cooper, I am the Vanguard-class Titan BT7274. In accordance with the previous Iron Pilot's orders, you are now my new pilot."
"Cool!"
"Cool!"
"Cool!"
First, the protagonist in the game shouted "Cool!"
Then, everyone in the chat also enthusiastically posted "Cool!" in the comments.
Takuda felt a rush of excitement, like ants crawling all over his body.
He really wanted to play!
He really wanted to play Titanfall!
No matter what, he wanted to play Titanfall.
Without hesitation, he picked up his phone and dialed his friend's number.
The first time, it didn't go through. After a long wait, it was automatically disconnected.
The second time, third time.
Finally, on the fourth try, it connected. Takuda hurriedly said, "Moshi Moshi, Yasuda-san, how's Titanfall? Have you played it yet?"
On the other end of the phone, Yasuda seemed distracted. He answered half-heartedly, "Oh, oh, it's going to take some more time. This game is amazing! I want to keep playing for a bit longer. Please be patient, I'll let you play as soon as I'm done."
Takuda felt a bit uneasy after hearing this.
Before, Yasuda had said he'd be able to let him play Titanfall soon.
But now, Yasuda was asking for patience. This likely meant Takuda still didn't know when he'd finally get the chance to play Titanfall.
He really wanted to play!
He didn't want to just watch the videos. That wasn't satisfying at all.
The more he watched the live stream, the more he wanted to experience the game himself.
So, what can he do to get Titanfall?
Well, he'd have to pay for it.
But he didn't have any money. What should he do?
Earn it!
Suddenly, the lack of motivation he had for working disappeared, replaced with boundless determination.
Even if he had to go wash dishes, he was going to earn the money to buy Titanfall.
With this in mind, he immediately stood up, hesitated for a moment, and looked at the live stream on his computer screen.
He was reluctant. The live stream seemed so interesting, and if possible, he'd love to try live streaming himself.
But live streaming required special equipment, so he needed to earn some money first.
It seemed like he should swallow his pride and focus on earning the money for what he most desired.
Determined, he exited the live stream, shut down his computer, and prepared to go find a job, maybe as a waiter or something similar.
Sure, those jobs might be embarrassing. A well-established TV station director like him having to resort to that, but as long as he could buy what he wanted, who cared about pride?
The live stream continued, and as time passed, more and more people started entering the room.
They were all attracted by the free Facebook avatar rewards, and then stuck around to watch the girl playing Titanfall.
Just earlier, the girl piloted the BT Titan to defeat what seemed to be a boss-level enemy.
When the enemy Titan exploded with a massive bang, everyone's adrenaline kicked in, and the comment section lit up with excitement.
"That was amazing! Is this what mech battles are like? I've never experienced anything like this before!"
"Wow, I've never played a mech battle game like this. I'd call this the best mech combat game."
The girl herself was also very excited.
She was the one truly experiencing the game, and she felt the intensity of the battle most clearly.
Whether it was the feel of the controls or the combat feedback, the enemies weren't too weak, nor were they overly strong. They gave a sense of pressure, but still allowed for a relatively smooth victory.
It was a feeling she had never experienced before.
It was really amazing.
So this is what it feels like to pilot a Titan.
While the viewers were still discussing the battle, the storyline continued to unfold.
At this point, the girl's character had entered what appeared to be an enemy factory.
In this factory, the BT Titan was suddenly grabbed by a massive mechanical arm and dragged into an unknown area, which immediately caused an uproar in the comments.
"What's happening? Did the Titan we just got get stolen? Go get it back!"
The commenters were upset that the Titan had been taken, while the girl followed the game's guidance into the enemy factory.
As she entered the factory, she saw huge mechanical arms constantly moving massive steel structures, which were then fed into production lines.
At first, the girl didn't quite understand what was going on, and she kept dying.
But the game's guidance system was great; if you failed too many times, it would activate the level's hints, helping you know how to proceed.
Though she was still struggling, at least she now knew what to do next and wouldn't be stuck.
This was incredibly helpful for new players.
"I want to play this game now. You said this is called Titanfall? And it's on the GSX console?"
"That's right! If you buy it now, there's a bundle offer! Hurry up and buy it!"
Players who already owned a GSX console began recommending the game in the comments.
Those who weren't that interested in the game before began pulling out their phones or other devices to search online.
Online shopping was already very convenient, but it lacked the thrill of waiting in line to buy a game.
