The offline carnival and Nebula Games theme park are, for most players, still a bit far away.
Not to mention whether they have the time to go, the main thing is that it's also hard to pick the lucky winner.
Besides, there will be live broadcasts from the scene anyway, so players are more focused on this goofy-looking game right now.
After it went online, players basically invited their friends and met up to experience this game called "Human: Fall Flat" and see if it was really as fun as it seemed.
"Ben, Joey and the others are really taking their time."
Zack and Hannah leaned back on the sofa, each holding a controller.
With PC, mobile, and Switch versions, the game's data can be synced across all three platforms.
Just like "It Takes Two," Lucas made some changes to the multiplayer modes compared to the original game.
If players can accept split-screen mode, then the Switch and PC versions can also be played locally by two people, and they can also connect online with others.
Right now, Zack and Hannah are playing locally. Even though it's split-screen, they're using the Switch's TV mode on a 75-inch TV screen, so the viewing distance is still very wide.
"This game looks so dumb! Hurry up and create your character, then it's my turn!" Hannah, sitting on the sofa, watched Zack creating his character and said what she thought.
The characters look like noodles and don't seem very smart.
"Don't rush me, I'm trying to create a cool and imposing image for myself." Zack carefully selected the eyes and mouth, and then chose a cowboy outfit, writing the word 'Justice' on the back of the clothes.
"Do I look like a cool and imposing cowboy?" Zack said, grinning.
There are a lot of clothes in the game, and from the looks of them, they're obviously symbols of some of Nebula Games' IP.
For example, the cowboy outfit he's wearing now corresponds to "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption," and there's also the 141 Task Force anti-terrorism uniform, and the hunter set from "Bloodborne."
"Cool and imposing? This is full of goofy vibes, okay?" Hannah was also speechless. The clothes do look the part, but paired with that noodle-man look, it just feels super goofy.
"Ahem, enough talking, let's get into the game. I see Ben and the others are online." Zack coughed lightly.
"Okay, you create the room." Hannah also wrote the word 'Hannah' on the back of her clothes and then chose to save the character.
As she spoke, Zack started the game.
A little guy in a cowboy outfit and another in an agent outfit fell from the sky.
After about two or three seconds... splat!
The two little guys fell straight to the ground.
"Did their brains get scrambled from the fall? Hey, why can't I move? Did I die from the fall?" Zack was a little confused, looking at his character in the game not moving.
"How can the character stand up if you don't move?" Hannah said, annoyed.
"This game's controls are so goofy?" Zack moved the controller's joystick, and then saw the little guy in the game wobbling up from the ground.
The noodle-like body, matched with the clothes, does look human-like, but the movements are like a drunk person, swaying as they walk, as if they don't have any bones or muscles in their body.
Following the system's instructions, Zack did some simple operations, mainly moving forward, backward, left, and right, as well as jumping and extending his hands.
When you touch something with your hands, you'll grab it tightly if you don't let go.
"Haha, you look exactly like when you don't want to go to work in the morning." Hannah, sitting on the sofa, laughed as she watched the little guy swaying back and forth in the game, as if he was about to fall over at any moment.
"By the way, Ben, where are you? Did you fall into the toilet? And Yifan and Joey, are you two ready?" After getting a little familiar with the controls, Zack asked in the voice channel, as he still hadn't seen everyone ready.
Then, voices came from the voice channel.
"Ready, ready, almost there." Joey and Wells responded.
And Ben started attacking: "Zack, you jerk! Why are you so gentle with others and so rude to me?"
"Come on, didn't you say you had to go to the bathroom? Okay, now, my dear Ben, are you ready?" Zack said in a squeezed voice in the voice channel.
"You... You should just insult me! What's the room password?" Ben got goosebumps from Zack's words.
"stop talking nonsense and hurry in!" Zack said.
"I'm coming!" With Ben's voice,
Zack, who was still controlling his little guy to run around, suddenly saw his character covered by a dark shadow.
What's going on?
Before Zack could figure it out, a big, dark lump fell straight down from the sky, sending Zack's cowboy little man flying.
It was like an object in "Breath of the Wild" that had been stopped in time, then constantly charged up, and then released after the time stop was undone. With a splat, it crashed into the flower bed next to it, then did a 360-degree spin in the air, and landed heavily on the ground.
"Holy crap, what kind of goofy physics engine is this? This isn't Newton-like at all!" Zack exclaimed.
But before he could get up, two more little guys fell from the sky.
Splat!
Just like before, they landed steadily on him, repeating the scene of being smashed.
But this time, the direction he was launched in was a little awkward. Zack's little man was directly launched off the cliff.
"Hahaha... We didn't do it on purpose!" Joey and Wells, who had just landed, couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene.
As for Ben, he was the one laughing the loudest: "Haha, serves you right!"
But his smile didn't last long, because although Zack fell off the cliff, he returned to the state of falling from the sky, and landed right on his head.
With a splat, his little man was also knocked down, but he didn't get launched away.
"Holy crap, get up, don't grab me with your hand!" Ben controlled his character, struggling and wriggling, but because Zack's little man was pressing down on him, and one hand was grabbing him while the other was holding onto the ground, he struggled for a while but couldn't get up.
As he spoke, Ben wriggled again.
"I've been smashed by you guys a few times, my back is broken, I need to lie down for a while!" Zack laughed too.
"Your back is broken, don't grab me, lie on the ground!" Ben struggled to get up, but found that the game's physics were strangely realistic. He couldn't get up from being pressed down on the ground.
"Okay, okay, let's start the game quickly." Hannah and Joey, watching the two acting like clowns, were also laughing and couldn't stand up straight.
Hearing this, Zack wobbled up from the ground.
The unreliable team of five was ready to start overcoming the challenges.
Although the game had just started, they already felt like they were laughing so much that they were catching their breath.
This game was just too goofy.
