Chapter 148: This Game Has So Many Endings?
Games & Virtual Reality Technical Committee.
Unlike Chen Mo's previous life, the game industry in this world is not managed by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, but by this game committee.
The functions of the two may seem similar, but in fact they are very different. The main function of the Copyright Agency in the game area is to review, and is responsible for picking out some elements of violence, pornography, and marginality, and ordering game developers and operators to rectify.
And the Pleasure Committee is more than that.
The game review in this world is different from the previous life, there is a grading system, relatively speaking, the red line of the review is looser, and many games with violent elements can be reviewed, but the age of the game can be adjusted accordingly.
Moreover, the main function of the game committee is not to review, its main function is to guide and regulate the game industry, so that the game industry and virtual reality technology can develop better.
Generally speaking, the game committee will not evaluate the merits of a game based on whether it makes money or not, and will not give special preference to games that make a lot of money.
However, the game committee is more concerned about some innovative games, and at the same time will support those game types whose development has been frustrated, and at the same time, it will also have some guidance and support for content related to virtual reality technology.
At this time, the judges of the game committee are meeting to discuss the judging situation of the "traditional culture theme game activity season".
Because there are many games, each jury will conduct a preliminary review first, and only after the preliminary review can the games that pass the preliminary review be brought to the meeting for discussion.
Moreover, it is certainly impossible for these judges to get through all the games from beginning to end, and the designers have prepared corresponding GM tools for them, and various attributes, plot branches, etc. are adjustable, and even like some games with more complex plots, the script has to be submitted for review.
The judge who presided over the meeting said: "The later awards can be considered slowly, and the first prize is in the two games "Edgeworth Love" and "The Legend of Martial Arts", everyone has no opinion, right?" ”
"No comment."
"No comment." The other judges said.
"Okay, then let's discuss freely which of these two games will win the first prize."
……
While the game committee was discussing fiercely, players also downloaded the two games on the Internet and started playing.
In terms of early promotion, "Edgeworth" and "The Legend of Martial Arts" are basically evenly matched, so the main topic discussion is also focused on these two games.
"Guess which game will win the first prize this time?"
"I think Edgeworth, right? This kind of theme is too good at Zen mutual entertainment, the plot story and gameplay are very mature, as long as it is done well, it must be a first-class level. ”
"However, there are no major innovations in Edgeworth."
"What kind of innovation do you want, there are so many Chinese-style games, and the innovative ones are dying miserably, the mode of "Edgeworth Love" is already the best mode to find out, and random innovation will be played!"
"But I've been tired of this model for a long time, the kernel is the same, just change the script, what's the point? If the gameplay is not innovative, is it still called a game? If I'm just going to watch the plot, I might as well read a novel or a TV series! ”
"I'm going to play "The Legend of Martial Arts", this time Chen Mo is full of sincerity, and there has been no martial arts game for a long time, this must be supported!"
"Yes, I support the theme song!"
……
Soon, players were immersed in both games, and the design and story of the two games were being discussed on the forums and in various player groups.
"The plot of "Edgeworth's Love" is so good, I was moved to tears!"
"yes, the tragic ending at the end really makes me feel so uncomfortable, but this story is really good!"
"Friends who play "The Legend of Martial Arts", how are you doing over there?"
"Oh, I'm still running on the big map, I feel like I'm going to play the second week......"
"Why, is this game so fun? Still have to play twice? ”
"No, because I feel like I can't clear the game for a week......"
"What martial arts did you all choose? What should I do now? I'm having a bit of a dazzle......"
"I've figured out the tasks on the big map now, and I can only say it's really complicated!"
"When I play, I have to keep a small notebook next to me, and I remember it while playing, and now I have memorized more than ten pages......
"Really? Is there such nonsense?,Even if this game has a little puzzle-solving content,It's not enough to memorize more than a dozen pages, right? ”
"You wrote it down on sticky notes......
"Just play it yourself, this game really makes me feel like I'm mentally retarded."
"It is said that there is already a strategy coming out, and it was made by players who tried it out in the experience store before. By the way, there is an anchor named Lin Xue who has been broadcasting this game live before, and it seems that two endings have been opened up now. ”
"What do you mean, is there a third ending?"
"Three? Hehe, according to Chen Mo himself, this game has nearly ten endings......"
"What? Ten?! ”
"Yes, and Lin Xue is now opening up the ending of decency and evil. The decent ending is that the protagonist defeats all the decent leaders and is elected as the leader of the martial arts alliance, and finally exterminates the demon sect; The ending of the evil sect is that the protagonist throws himself into the Demon Sect, destroys all the martial arts sects, and kills the leader of the Demon Sect, and finally becomes the overlord of the martial arts and dominates the world. ”
"So awesome? Cult ending? , it's the first time I've heard of martial arts games having this kind of rebellious content! But I like it! ”
"I don't think I'm playing the same game as everyone else? Why was I killed by chickens in the novice village and got the title of 'Weak Chicken Man'? ”
"Hey, don't mention it. I watched Lin Xue's live broadcast of the evil ending, it's too sadistic, and I won't have many spoilers for the specifics, let's go see it for yourself. It can only be said that the degree of freedom of this game is too high, and it is higher than everyone can imagine. ”
"Damn, you managed to attract me, okay, I'm going to download it!"
……
"The Legend of Martial Arts" and "Edgeworth Love" are both priced at 50 yuan, after all, there are few single-player games with Chinese style themes that are higher than this price.
Moreover, this game is not for making money, but for the judges to see, and the high price makes players dissatisfied, which makes no sense.
In the beginning, the game "Edgeworth" quickly received a lot of praise, and most players came for the story, and after experiencing the whole story, they did not hesitate to give good reviews.
The evaluation of "The Legend of Martial Arts" is good and bad, most of them are five-star praise, but there are also some one-star and two-star reviews. The main reason is that this game is too difficult to get started, and many players don't understand it at all, and they hang up inexplicably when they play for a week, which is very aggrieved.
But soon, the popularity of the game "Edgeworth" went down, because there was no innovation in the gameplay of this game at all, even if the plot was done well, after most players got through, there would be no topic of discussion for three or five days.
Moreover, many players are also aware that this game in many aspects such as difficulty settings, level settings, plot arrangements, etc., is to take care of the judges' preferences and weaken some of its own gameplay, and its shortcomings are soon exposed, that is, the lack of stamina, it was smooth when I first started playing, and the first impression was good, but I couldn't help digging deeper.
This kind of design has also caused a lot of players to rebel, you just care about the judges and ignore the players in order to win the award?
On the contrary, the popularity of "The Legend of Martial Arts" has been rising, with more and more posts on the forum, and even the popularity of strategies, process videos, etc. is constantly rising!
Yao Yu, the designer of "Edgeworth", also wondered, what is going on with the game "The Legend of Martial Arts", it is really evil, why has it been so long, and the popularity has not only not decreased, but has also risen?
