Good escalation, but kinda easy if you know your way around the map.
Agreed I said that earlier in the thread I believe.
The unique starting location was cool. Addition of rusty crowbar proved a challenge, especially in Level 3. It’s a nice way to showcase how much climbing you can do in Chongqing.
This was a good one.
The unique starting location makes good use of the beauty that is Chongqing with the camera pan. The unique complications for this are very good and I wish there would be more escalations with unique complications like this. Does really show the verticality of Chongqing which is something I actually thought that the escalation would bring out when I was originally writing the post (didn’t put it in the thread though.
All in all it’s a fun and unique escalation (which I assume we might get more of escalations like these) but I wouldn’t want all future escalations to be as unique as there as it is sort of restricting what you can do.
Super easy “Ghost” Assassin/No Crowbar(s)/No KO/No HUD/No Instinct/No Distractions etc etc… I tried to make it challenging, but this was just child’s play tbh.
According to Google Translate, it’s “golden needle”. I’m guessing it’s also a last/family name, though, since that’s usually how they name escalations.
I just typed it in English, though I just noticed that if you use a capitol J, it comes back as “Jin zhen”, but if you use a lower case j, it comes back as “Golden Needle”.
JinZhen means 金针(Golden needle) which probably represents 金针菇(Needle mushroom). So we know this escalation is short and linear just like needle mushroom.
Jokes aside. Jin and Zhen are just pinyin without tone marks. Many Chinese characters share the pinyin Jin and Zhen. So…it could be someone’s name or someplace’s name. It could mean many things or nothing at all. Just like most other escalations’ names. Since there’s no localization for Chinese we might never know its actual meaning.
