Recommend some fun stand-alone games, with plots. .
LZ `Khan needs martial arts + strategy. . .
First, I think if you want visual impact, you should play Lost Planet (the system requirements are very high) and Devil May Cry 3~4
The second one is also what I want to play the most. As for the plot, I strongly recommend the Silent Hill series (especially the 1.2.3.5 and 4th generation can be ignored). Ling Hongdie’s two favorite stand-alone games are very scary (visual horror + psychological horror). I hope you don’t play psychological shadows. But you'll know it's not fun if you play it - -
Silent Hill is the title of a famous horror survival video game series, published by Konami and developed by Team Silent. Focus on plot, characters and atmosphere. The plot unfolds in a movie-like manner, with different choices affecting the ending. Players often wonder whether things in the game have happened in reality.
[Edit this paragraph] 1. Silent Hill 1 (Silent Hill)
Released in January 1999.
Material: "Silent Hill" is a horror adventure game released by Konami on the PS console. In this game, Konami has successfully created an alternative and depressive atmosphere, bringing players a brand new gaming experience. Coupled with the high quality of the game itself, this game has been a great success.
In Silent Hill, a small lakeside town in the middle of the United States, a conspiracy is brewing. Since Silent Hill has a tradition of worshiping the evil fallen angel Samael since the Civil War - a secret local cult is planned by an old witch named Dhalia (the main member is Dhalia, a doctor at the local hospital Kaufman - an Asian doctor and an unknown person), used rituals to give birth to a baby with the power of samael (the blind angel of Judaism, one of the fallen angels), and that baby was Dhalia's biological daughter. Lessa. But the result of the ceremony was that Alessa only gained half of the power of samael. Although Dhalia's ritual failed, she was not resigned to it and tried every possible means to persuade 7-year-old Alessa to give her divine power. The smart Alessa knew that her mother had bad intentions, so she always politely refused. Dhalia then took extreme measures, and together with Dr. Kaufman, locked Alessa in a small house by the lake and set the house on fire - the fire destroyed half of Silent Hill. Alessa was severely burned in the fire and was cursed to be in a dying state. She was transferred to a secret underground nursing home in a local hospital to be cared for (she was cared for by the beautiful nurse Lisa) - this was done because Dhalia thought it would be okay He used physical torture to awaken the Samale in Alessa's body, but even so, there was no result. Seven years later, out of desperation, the cult decided to hold a second ceremony to give birth to a child with the same magical powers. Out of Aretha's tragic experience and her own sense of justice, Lisa managed to smuggle the child out of the hospital and hide it on the side of the suburban road - but the child was picked up by Harry Mason, the protagonist of the generation, and named Sherry. , became his daughter. Lisa's actions were discovered by Kaufman, and Lisa was eventually killed by him. After another seven years, Dhalia finally noticed Sherrie's whereabouts, so she cast a spell to summon her to Silent Hill, and also "summoned" Harry. She created an illusion of Alessa on Harry's only path, which caused Harry's car to have an accident (but she didn't expect to "bring" Sybil, a female policewoman from a nearby town), and Harry himself fell into a coma. Dhalia then cast a spell to pull the spirits of the comatose Harry, Sybil and Kaufman (because they had an agreement to share Samael's power equally) into the "Silent Hill" she created - a place with only daylight and heavy fog, full of A town with monsters but no one (this helps to avoid the sight of the public and the police, so that she can do her cult work-because in the real Silent Hill, the local police are tracking down the myths that the cult uses to expand the church and distributes them to believers) The source of hallucinogens. In addition, this "Silent Hill" completely copied the real Silent Hill in order to make Harry believe that he was in the real Silent Hill).
At the same time, Alessa, who was underground in the hospital, felt Sherry's arrival, so she used her own power to create a "Silent Hill" (this Silent Hill always rains and is filled with endless... of darkness) and hid herself deep within it to hide from her evil mother. Of course, she also felt Harry's presence, so after accepting Sherry into her dark Silent Hill world, she directly "killed" Harry with the monster she created. But Harry is not dead - Dhalia thinks this man can be used. She rescued Harry and brought him to a cafe in her world to meet the female police officer. Next, she asked Harry to continue looking for clues (she was also looking for Shirley). Alessa felt that in order to prevent Dhalia from succeeding, she must stop Harry from continuing to search (because once Harry gets Dhalia's help, he is likely to find her whereabouts). So after Harry entered the clock tower, he converted the school world into his own dark hell world, hoping that Harry would give up the search, but Harry's love for his daughter was unwavering.
After destroying the "defense line" set up by Alessa at the school, he continued to move towards the hospital. Dhalia was overjoyed when she saw this scene. She felt even more that Harry could "help" her catch Alessa, so she gave him the holy sword Laura (this thing is the symbol of the archangel metratron, which has the ability to weaken Samael's power. divine power). At the hospital, Alessa once again fortified herself and materialized the soul of nurse Lisa, controlling her soul to hold Harry back and make him give up the search. --The result was of course a failure. So the plot continued like this, until Harry approached Alessa's real hiding place near the park. Alessa had to control the policewoman Sybil to stop Harry, but Harry used the secret weapon obtained in the hospital. The red potion sample created by Kaufman to deal with people controlled by Samael (unbeknownst to Harry of course) was defeated.
Alessa then had to show up to deal with Harry Mason personally. But she was immediately sucked away by Flaura. At the same time, Dhalia appeared (she finally used Harry to capture Alessa. If she entered Alessa's world to catch Alessa herself, Alessa would only hide herself deeper). She took Alessa away and used it to combine with Sherry to bring Samael down. Harry finally figured out that he was actually being used. He could only end it all with his own hands - after a series of adventures, at the ceremony held by Dhalia, he and Kaufman (Harry saved him once, but now he thought that Dalia wanted to monopolize Sameal's power, so he came To stop her) finally used the sample of the last red potion that Kaufman had hidden elsewhere (almost taken away by Harry) to remove the fallen angel Samael from the body of Alessa and destroy her body. (In this battle, Dhalia was killed by Samael and got the fate she deserved, and Kaufman was also dragged into hell-this is what he deserved). Sameal's body was destroyed (but his released spirit still exists in Silent Hill), and Alessa is no longer alive (after being seriously burned, her life was supported by Samael's power). She thanked Harry helped her get rid of the control of her evil mother, so he "gave birth" to a baby with a pure soul, Heather (Heather, the new saint and the heroine of the third generation) in return, and gave instructions to Harry and the female police officer. He died after escaping from the dark world of Silent Hill that was about to collapse. Harry Mason and Sybil eventually escape Silent Hill. So this explains why Silent Hill is sometimes daytime and foggy (that was created by Dhalia in the first generation, but the area of the city is different), and sometimes it is full of endless darkness (that is the hell controlled by Sameal's spirit) world).
Some people may ask, what about Lisa? Since Alessa was taken away by her evil mother, the world she controlled was immediately thrown into chaos: you should know that the house in "End World" also existed as a hospital, a school, and Alessa's room. situation. So Lisa was able to stand in front of Harry in a "human form" because of Alessa's power. Now that power disappeared, so she realized the fact that she was dead, suffered a mental breakdown, and finally "returned to her original self" "Appearance"--This is the most "tragic and sad" scene in the memory of many Silent Hill players.
[Edit this paragraph] 2. Silent Hill 2 (Silent Hill 2)
Released in September 2001.
Konami launched "Silent Hill 2" on the next-generation console PS2 platform, and then launched "Silent Hill 2: The Last Poem" on the XBOX platform. Based on this, an expansion pack with Maria's plot supplement has been added. In December 2002, Konami released the PC version of the game. The sales of both versions satisfied Konami, so the "Silent Hill" series has also become a major series of Konami.
Plot ·Table
Our male protagonist, James, is a man in his thirties who looks much older. Although the pain of losing his wife has passed for a long time, he still misses his wife Mary in his heart. Well, at this moment, a letter signed by Mary was mailed to him. In the letter, Mary said to him: "Do you still remember Silent Hill? The place that left us with the most beautiful memories... I will be waiting for you there." Huh? It turns out to be a third-rate ghost story, the most common kind in China. Well, let’s continue playing first.
The entire Silent Hill is filled with heavy fog, and of course it is filled with all kinds of ugly monsters. Our protagonist James is constantly solving puzzles inside, saying a bunch of inexplicable words when he meets survivors, fighting several bosses, and finally, meeting his wife and becoming the final boss! Once you've finished playing, you've "cleared" it... Done? It's over. That's right, for a person who doesn't know anything about e-books or lacks humanistic care, "Silent Hill 2" is such a game. Damn, isn’t it just a rubbish game? What a waste of time! ... Well, let's take a look at what this game is like inside.
2. Plot·In
Thinking about it a long time later, James still felt that the honeymoon he spent with Mary in the small town of Silent Hill was the happiest time in his life. . Mary, his wife, is gentle, beautiful and considerate. James felt that he was completely satisfied with having such a wife. Unfortunately, Mary fell seriously ill after leaving Silent Hill and stayed in the hospital for three years. These three years have been a difficult test for James. What he has to do every day is to wait for Mary in the hospital and take good care of her. When she is hungry, she feeds her food one bite at a time; when she is thirsty, she feeds her water spoon by spoon and lets her swallow the water slowly. Although Mary has hearing and vision problems, James still tells her the latest news every day, reads her today's newspaper, and tells her the fairy tale of the Little Prince before going to bed. James felt that as long as he kept doing this, Mary would definitely get better, and his beautiful Mary would definitely come back to him.
…The first year has passed, the second year has passed, and the third year has also arrived.
In three years, James's heart has also changed. Everything has an end; but James, in caring for him day after day, year after year, felt a kind of fear and despair with no end in sight. James asked himself more than once: If I continue like this, no matter how hard it is, will Mary be able to wake up again?
In the past three years, Mary has gradually become less beautiful than before. Crow's feet have slowly crept up her forehead, and the luster of her skin has gradually dimmed. James understands that Mary is old and inevitably old. Whenever James felt this extremely frustrating fact, there seemed to be another voice in his heart encouraging him: Kill Mary! Kill her and you will be free!
At first, James didn't think about this nonsense at all, but gradually he thought, maybe Mary is really dead, and he will feel better, right? Although James understood that this was an extremely sinful and shameless idea, he couldn't get rid of it, and he was almost ready to act on it. Mary, finally died. But James did not relax. Instead, the self-blame in his heart became heavier and deeper. On the one hand, he said to himself, Mary is dead, you can find a new beginning; on the other hand, he said to himself, don't you want your wife to die all day long? Now she is dead! She is really dead! It was you who killed her! It was your selfish and sinful thoughts that killed her!
In such a psychological contradiction, James gradually felt that it was indeed Mary who he killed, and it was Mary who he killed with his own hands!
Just when James was about to collapse mentally, he received a letter signed by Mary. In the letter, her wife Mary said to him, James, do you still remember the small town "Silent Hill" that left us with beautiful memories? We were all happy there. I'm there now, in that lakeside hotel, waiting for you.
It turns out that Mary is not dead! She's waiting for me in Silent Hill! James, who was dubious but ecstatic, drove towards Silent Hill...
The ending of Silent Hill 2:
1) Escape. James is not fooled by the past (Maria) and escapes Silent Hill.
2) Maria. James falls in love with Maria and leaves Silent Hill with her. But what James doesn't know is that Maria, as a substitute for Mary's image, will eventually contract the same strange disease as Mary.
3) In water. James realized that he was deeply in love with Mary and decided to commit suicide so that he could be with Mary forever.
4) Rebirth. James decided to join the ancient cult of Silent Hill, worship Samael and use his power to resurrect Mary. It can be expected that Mary was resurrected in the end and got rid of the strange disease...
[Edit this paragraph] 3. Silent Hill 3 (Silent Hill 3)
Released in July 2003.
Not long after the release of "Silent Hill 3", the PC version of "Silent Hill 3" also appeared in front of players.
The PC version of "Silent Hill 3" is transplanted based on the PS2 version. The game content is exactly the same. However, because players can choose a higher-end 3D graphics card, the picture performance is better than that of the PS2. No matter it is a high-resolution picture up to 1024*768, more realistic textures, more delicate light and shadow performance, fog effects, etc., the terrifying texture presented makes people shudder.
The "Silent Hill" series has always been known for depicting the conflicts of the dark side of human beings. The plot development is also very philosophical and is very popular. This time, "Silent Hill 3" also continues the fine tradition in the plot, with The theme is the dark conflict between people's hearts. In the story, the player plays an ordinary girl, Heather, living a stable and peaceful life every day.
But one time when she went to a hypermarket to buy something, she accidentally entered an extra-dimensional space that represented the dark side of people's hearts, and it was filled with countless terrifying alien monsters. In order to escape from this terrifying world full of dangers, Heather must hold a pistol and shuttle between two different worlds, the outside and the inside, fighting for survival.
There is a CG section at the front of the game that explains the basic origin of the plot. Although the resolution of the CG is relatively low, the CG is well done. The interface has a common problem with transplanted games. The background image of the menu is relatively rough. The image looks passable on a TV, but it seems inappropriate on a high-resolution monitor. Since on the PC platform, the game screen can use a higher resolution (but easy to adjust AA, AF has no effect), so the screen is better than the original work on PS2, the character model is very well done, and the material of the clothes is also very realistic. Watch The details like other accessories are not sloppy at all, there are real-time light and shadow effects, and the texture map is so large that my 64MB Geforce 4 Ti cannot raise the texture map level to the highest level. The game has a special kind of noise that gives the picture a hazy feel (of course, you can turn it off if you don't like it). However, the game only supports graphics cards that fully support Direct It feels great to play on a 29-inch Samsung color TV, and it feels like playing on a PS.
The music and sound effects perfectly convey the scary atmosphere of the game, and there is a constant background noise from time to time. It feels very depressing. When the monster appears, the sound is always scary. The songs in the game CG are also very nice. The sound effects music of this game is produced by Kenji Kawei and Hidenori Onishi, maintaining KONAMI's always high level of music and sound effects. .
Changing the protagonist of the game from a 2nd-generation male to a soft PLMM Heather will make players more worried and make everyone feel pity for her. Also, because the protagonist is a woman, she cannot be used. There are no heavy weapons, unlike the second-generation protagonist who needs more to escape. There are more scenes in the game. There are 5 big scenes, which makes people feel less monotonous, and the BOSS settings in each scene are also very unique, with different attacks. Methods require players to use different strategies to defeat the BOSS. Solving puzzles in the ACT game is also a highlight. The puzzles in this game are not very difficult, such as the carousel puzzle. As long as the player is careful and patient, pay attention to the various props. The effect is not difficult to get over (especially after it has been translated into Chinese. It is recommended that you do not play against the skill, as this will make it less fun)
In terms of plot, each part of the game has animations generated in time to explain the plot. , making the story very complete. But I personally feel that the plot of the third generation is slightly weaker than that of the second generation. There are many foreshadowings of the plot in the second generation, which are interlocking and somewhat suspenseful, while the third generation is more like a simple revenge. Compared with other ACT games, the plot is pretty good.
[Edit this paragraph] 4. Silent Hill 4 The Room
Released in September 2004< /p>
In terms of the overall picture and style (still chaotic and disorderly, the scenes are all dirty and stained), "Silent Hill 4: Room" is not much different from "Silent Hill 3" It's a leap forward, but the dynamic light and shadow effects have been enhanced (the "big loach" I encountered on the subway shortly after the game started is very textured), and the facial details and clothing of the characters are also more detailed than in the previous game. Delicate (the face and clothing are very textured, but the protagonist’s movements when walking look very awkward, as if his knees are always bent, splayed feet? Khan). The process of reading data when switching scenes is relatively fast (in When loading, patterns such as human figures will appear on the screen. At this time, L3 can change the position of the pattern, and R3 can flip the pattern - thanks to A9TG netizens for providing relevant information). There is no "frequent" feeling of slowdown in the past. Likewise, the special effects used to render the atmosphere and "noise particles" still exist (you can freely adjust the special effects on and off in the options after completing the game).
Different from the first and third generations that created an atmosphere around religion and the second generation with an open architecture, "Silent Hill 4: The Room" has very obvious enhancements in action and combat (and " The development trend of "Resident Evil" is somewhat similar). Since the protagonist's weapons are mostly close-range cold weapons, the number of bullets for the firearms is extremely limited, and recovery props are also scarce. The enemy's attack power has also become extremely difficult, making the entire game very difficult to fight. Little improvement. Because the trick of scaring players has been used for almost all time, instead of deliberately taking risks in new and different ways, it is better to increase the proportion of certain aspects on the original basis. This approach is completely understandable. When going on adventures with Irene (the weapons equipped by MM are all anti-wolf type, lol), MM may not be completely a burden. While protecting MM, as long as you "use" them reasonably, you can "protect the flower object" It is very possible to become a "grass protector"
Four endings have been discovered so far, but we still don't know how to achieve this UFO ending (the spoof elements in every generation are still worth pondering) .
Note: The invasion degree refers to the spirit removal rate of your own room. There are two endings above 80% and two endings below 80%. The key to successfully rescuing the heroine is to be quick during the final BOSS battle. The degree of injury of the heroine in the later stages also has an impact on this.
Ending:
Depending on the situation in Room 302 and whether Eileen survives after the final battle, the game has four endings:
1. Worst ending: 21 Sacraments
Requirements: The ghosts in room 302 have not been expelled and Eileen failed to survive the BOSS battle.
Ending situation: Little Walter will enter the Cursed Room 302. After that, the police found five bodies on the outskirts of Silent Hill, and Eileen was among them. The police then entered Room 302 and found Heanry's body, and then the apartment manager's body was found in the apartment.
2 .Bad ending: Eileen's Death
Requirements: There are no ghosts in room 302 but Eileen failed to survive the boss battle.
Ending situation: Walter is defeated, the curse in Room 302 is lifted, and the young Walter wandering at the door of Room 302 disappears. Henry's life returns to normal, but news about the mysterious deaths of five people, including Eileen, can be heard on the news.
3. Good ending: Mother
Requirement: The ghosts in Room 302 have not been expelled, and Henry defeated Walter before Eileen entered the blood pool.
Ending: A few days later, Henry went to the hospital to visit Eileen, who was recovering. Eileen will later tell Henry that they will go back to the apartment again.
4. Best ending: Escape
Requirement: The ghosts in room 302 have been expelled, and Eileen is also fighting. And then managed to survive.
Ending situation: A few days later, Henry went to the hospital to visit Eileen, but Eileen suggested that the two of them go find a new place to live together.

Some of the cold weapons picked up in the Silent Hill: Origins game have a certain degree of durability. When the weapon reaches a certain level, It will be automatically damaged and cannot be used.
