In this mysterious factory level, the challenge for player control is very high.
You have to learn various dodging and evasive maneuvers, which is essentially an enhanced version of basic training.
Once you get the hang of it, it's relatively easy to clear the level.
But when the level reaches the later stages, players suddenly realize that the items being produced on the assembly line are actually simulated buildings, grasslands, and other environments.
And the final boss awaits the protagonist in a simulated battlefield, where she must personally defeat the protagonist.
This level finally enters the ** stage.
The second boss fight is much more unpredictable and dynamic, often catching players off guard.
The viewers instinctively stopped commenting and instead focused intently on the girl as she faced the boss.
...
...
When the boss exploded with a loud crash, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl also let out a sigh of relief.
This battle was much more intense than the previous boss fight, with greater pressure, but the satisfaction after defeating the boss was unparalleled.
This was truly a great game.
Everyone thought so.
Even those who had no interest in the game before started to feel intrigued.
Because Titanfall's visual performance was top-notch in the industry, there was currently no game that could match Titanfall's ability to display visuals.
People who weren't initially interested in the game quickly bought the latest GSX console online.
As a result, the GSX console experienced a surge in sales due to Titanfall's release.
Then, in the live stream, the girl had entered the third major chapter.
This chapter featured the protagonist battling alone.
After some visual transitions, the protagonist seemed to have entered an unusual building.
However, this building seemed... strange.
Because during the progression, the visuals would occasionally change suddenly.
Originally, the place looked dilapidated.
But sometimes, it would suddenly revert to a much more intact state.
"Is this... a game bug?"
Some players were also unsure.
They hadn't seen this before.
Previous games didn't have such effects.
Soon, the protagonist in the game voiced the same question as the players.
"BT, this place is really strange."
The cold, mechanical voice of BT replied, "The space here is extremely disordered. It seems that certain specific energy fields are at work. We need to investigate further."
The protagonist continued forward.
"So this isn't a bug but rather part of the game's design? This is really amazing. The sensation of time-shifting is so peculiar. How exactly did they manage to do this?"
Players were puzzled by how Titanfall managed to achieve this time-shifting effect.
Previous games had included time travel, such as the famous Ocarina of Time.
But those weren't like the real-time time-shifting we see here; they were just point-to-point teleports.
This game shows real-time time travel effects.
The girl, too, was slightly shocked by this effect. The game was full of surprises, and every level provided a completely different experience. The creators of this game really deserved the title "gods of game development."
"By the way, I saw another live stream earlier showing Titanfall, but there wasn't a beautiful lady there. There was no avatar, only the game's screen."
"Not interested. I won't watch that."
"No pretty girls? No way, not watching."
It was clear that these people had been initially drawn in by the girl's appearance.
So they weren't interested in other live streams.
"But I saw the gameplay in that live stream, and it looked really cool. Should we check it out?"
"Cool? But there's no beautiful lady. That's what makes it less interesting."
"Are you here for the game or for the woman? Shouldn't you be here for the game?"
"We're here for the game, but having a woman makes it better. Don't bother talking about the rest."
These viewers had no hesitation.
The girl was naturally attractive, probably an 8 out of 10, and she was very captivating. Plus, the game itself was fascinating, which made them more willing to stay in this live stream.
As for the other live stream with cooler gameplay, they weren't that interested.
After all, they were playing the game, and no amount of cool gameplay could be as appealing as a beautiful woman.
"Takayuki, your live stream only has ten viewers. The other girl's stream is about to break a thousand."
In a private room at the Gamestar Carnival, Takayuki had given a brief speech before entering this room to start his live stream, showing his first-time experience with Titanfall.
But not many people seemed interested in his live stream.
Most viewers chose to watch the other stream instead.
Airi Sawazawa, seeing the lack of success on Takayuki's stream, teased him.
Takayuki wasn't bothered and said, "I'm not expecting my live stream to bring me huge attention. I just want to find more ways to promote Titanfall."
Takayuki was calm about it, not overly concerned about the live stream's popularity.
"Actually, if you were upfront with the players that you're live streaming, I think you'd quickly get a thousand viewers. Wouldn't that be better for promotion?"
Takayuki shook his head. "There's no need for that. I'd prefer to keep my live stream more pure. And besides, live game streaming hasn't really caught on yet. Even if I used my name to attract viewers, it wouldn't have a big impact. It would just attract players who already like me, and they'll likely buy the game anyway, so there's no need to promote it to them again."
"Hmm... that makes sense. But you said game streaming hasn't caught on. So you're really sure that game streaming will be big in the future?"
Takayuki thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I can't be 100% sure, but I just feel like there's no huge market for game streaming yet, so it hasn't really caught on."
He was trying to be cautious; otherwise, he might come off as too out of place for someone from this era.
Plus, some of his ideas about the internet and gaming were ahead of their time and made him seem almost like a bug in this world.
If he went too far, people might start questioning his identity.
Though, such doubts probably wouldn't have much impact.
Airi looked at Takayuki with suspicion. She felt that he was deliberately explaining things.
But she didn't understand why Takayuki felt the need to explain this so much.
"Well, the level has reached Chapter 3. If we go quickly, we should finish in about three hours."
"Only three hours? This might be the fastest you've ever finished a big game, Takayuki."
Takayuki said, "Just making the content for this game cost several hundred million dollars. If it had taken any longer, I'm not sure we could've even broken even. And the story is already quite complete. There's no need to artificially extend it."
