As more and more people are enjoying themselves in the world of
on-line games, it's just hard to ignore another important benefit
this media brings us. When everything is global, a specific culture
or tradition of a certain nation becomes unique and fresh. And once
this cultural element is added into game, it turns into an
attraction, even addiction.
The western culture is still dominant worldwide in the game
industry with their high tech and well arranged game storyline, as
well as the amazing visual effects, but it’s not difficult to
notice that the trans-Asian cultural flows become more and more
capturing recent years. Especially the Chinese... I could name some
of the examples: chinese food. chinese kongfu like shadowboxing,
the old-fashion dress like cheong-sam, acupuncture...quite Chines
flavor.... I bet everybody still remember "KONGFU
PANDA"... LOL....
Recently I've been into this new MMORPG game released by the TQ
company, named The
Warlords. It's now still in beta. Compared to other
mmo, I preferred the atmosphere this game has produced. The
characters' dress, the city, the music...everything is so so
CHINA... um... pretty orientally elegant... I choose this game
because I am playing Conquer (another game of TQ). It's not just a
mmo game, it's a global community where you make friends and learn
many many thing beyond games. And now, I am pretty much looking
forward to the open beta of The Warlords.(now the game is in Closed
Beta)
This game was adapted from the movie called “The Warlords", in
which the story is set on the late Qing Dynasty, one of the darkest
periods of Chinese history. Natural disasters and Taiping Rebellion
were overrunning the country, plunging the large part of the
kingdom into the chaos and the bloody civil war. Jet Li, Andy Lau
and Takeshi Kaneshiho star in this film.
During the wartime, brotherhood is everything. And this is made the
soul of this game. So in game, three players can be sworn brothers
or sisters. After that, they will share Kung Fu and their enemy
list. When encountering emergency, brothers or sisters can
instantly come and rescue each other. Besides, there is another
innovative quest system called the Entourage System which allows
the players to build their private army. Isn't that exciting~
LOL
Alright, I think that's too much. You'd better check it out
yourself~!
