Chapter 152 Come and suffer with the players
"Fuck! The netizens are so talented that they have developed so many weird ways to die."
Luo Bai wore headphones and watched the Dark Souls "Fancy Death Contest"-related videos with great joy.
When he heard a knock on the door, he took off his headphones and turned off the video, showing that he was concentrating on his work.
The rhythm of knocking on the door must be that of Mr. Xiao, the butler.
"Please come in."
Xiao Weirui pushed the door open and walked in, holding a pile of documents in her hands. Seeing Luo Bai's serious look, she also raised her eyebrows and said jokingly:
"Is our old Luobai thief trying to fish again?"
"Brother Rui is in a good mood today. He actually has the time to make fun of me."
Luo Bai joked, then took the relevant information handed over by Xiao Weirui and read it.
After so many years of happy cooperation, the relationship between the two parties is no longer limited to simple superiors and subordinates, and they can be regarded as very good friends.
However, Xiao Weirui is usually quite serious, and joking shows that she is in a really good mood.
Xiao Weirui didn't speak, and Luo Bai didn't say much. He just continued to look at the document in his hand, but the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
[Dark Souls, 3,627,178 copies sold. ]
Achieving such data within one week of release is enough to be proud of.
You know, this is not the kind of 2D game priced in double digits, it is a true 3D masterpiece. In a sense, the original intention has truly achieved a breakthrough in 3A zero!
In addition, Chuxin is using its own Chuxin engine this time, so the profit from this share will be reduced a lot.
This resulted in that, even if it was only released for a week, the profit had already surpassed that of Ori, which had been in business for several years.
But this is also the result of the accumulation of previous games.
If Ori had not set the first banner for this type of game, if there was no hole for players to accept the "high death penalty" design, Dark Souls would definitely have become popular in the follow-up, but it would never have been so fast, so fast, and so popular. Break the circle.
Now there is a lot of "cursing" towards Luo in the player circle.
If the players who were tortured by the Undead Parish outside the city were in a state of ecstasy, then the subsequent Sick Village and the ancient city of Sain would make the players cry for their fathers and mothers.
There is no map or monster that is not from the underworld.
It is full of malice from game developers from head to toe.
But beneath this malice, there are still flesh-and-blood plot characters and a majestic epic song.
The underworld is a real underworld, and fun is really fun.
Many players openly stated on major social platforms:
“I really want to pry open the old thief Luo Bai’s head and see what’s hidden inside!”
The responses from players are also very interesting.
"There is a hidden Patch who will turn on the machine when you are halfway across the bridge to send you down."
"There is a dart guy squatting there, always ready to shoot poisonous needles at you."
"Hidden is a huge iron ball rolling down the stairs."
"Fuck! I committed PTSD! Get out! You guys, get out of my head!"
If the game sells so well, of course it should be celebrated.
Luo Bai immediately ordered:
"Mr. Xiao, please go make arrangements for Monday's team building. It's still the same old rules. There is no upper limit on the budget, as long as everyone eats well and has fun."
"Yes, everyone has worked hard during this period."
Xiao Weirui nodded, and then pulled out another document,
"Mr. Xiao, this is our latest plan for the follow-up promotion of Dark Souls. These are the ardent expectations of our players. I hope you can seriously consider it."
Eager expectations?
As soon as you hear it, you know it's not a good word.
I, someone from Luo, recently said in the player group that everyone is shouting for beatings. It is not an exaggeration. These players will definitely not hold back anything good.
Luo Bai took over the project with some embarrassment and his face fell.
Overall, this project is very simple. Everyone wants to see what kind of reaction Luo Bai will get when he plays Dark Souls.
It corresponds to the sentence that made countless players complain:
"Old thief Luo Bai, have you ever played the game you made yourself?" Luo Bai only needs to provide one head. As for the follow-up publicity work, Xiao Weirui will take care of it.
In fact, after this, there was another announcement about "Dark Soul", which has been the TGA's best game of the year for 34 years.
However, because of this game, you haven’t finished it yet, so you need to put it on hold for now.
"Mr. Luo, what do you think?"
How else could I watch? The plan has been prepared, do I dare to say no?
However, players, you have made a mistake!
Do you think I am a handicap like Xiao Gao?
Luo is a master of the game!
I've already memorized the game Dark Souls in my head. Is it overturned? Doesn't exist.
Then I will let you know what the God of War is unparalleled!
……
On the Chuxin side, the news that Mr. Luo was playing Dark Souls live had just been sent out, and before the invited publicity team took action, it quickly swept the entire network at a speed that no one could have imagined.
On the same day, it became the number one trending topic on Weibo.
#罗白 will be playing Dark Souls live! #
The players were confused at first.
No, we just think the map is too underworld, and we wanted to vent our emotions by asking, "Do you play the game you made?" Why do you actually play it?
But what followed immediately was intense joy.
It was just a joke at first, but in the end, it really got the attention it originally intended. Can you not be happy?
"My original intention is to really respect players. Compared with other major domestic manufacturers, he really makes me cry to death."
"Since its inception, there have been no black spots. It has always been very friendly to players and has never been involved in false propaganda."
"How can there be a game company without black spots? I can only say that all of you are too young and have never seen the world."
"? That stinky guy named Johnnie Walker upstairs, come on! Tell me about the dark spots of your original intention. If you can't tell me, it looks like you were hit by a dump truck! @Johnnie Walker."
"What if I tell you? Can you kneel down and kowtow to me?"
"Don't kneel down and kowtow to you. You can kowtow and call me daddy at the same time."
"Support upstairs."
"Support +1."
"It has been four years since I first finished working on Mirror, and there is still no DLC."
"?"
"..."
"Dad! I kneel down for you!"
This netizen named Johnnie Walker did not know how many Internet sons he gained that day, but one thing will not change.
"Old thief Luo Bai, why the hell don't you release the mirror DLC? You deserve to die!"
But in the online world, after all, we don’t know who is behind the vest. Where there are fans, there will naturally be opponents.
Now that Luo Bai has caused such a big fight, some people have long been unhappy with him.
"Luo Bai is playing Dark Souls? It's just hype. This is what this guy did when he played Darkest Dungeon before.
In the end, maybe I will be caught in the game gauze I made, and then go crazy to copy the popularity. I have already seen through it. ”
"Indeed, what's so difficult about making a game by yourself? You know everything yourself, and you might even change the data in the background."
“Last time we didn’t have such a big promotion campaign, it seems we really made money.
The light of domestic games? The first shock wave of domestic games! ”
But these people are basically clowns.
"I laughed. I've never played Dark Dungeon and I'm speechless. I have nothing to say. The randomness of the game is simply beyond human control."
"You can tell whether you play the game Dark Souls or not. With so many people paying attention, you are not blind."
"You are the only ones who are smart, you are the only ones who understand the truth and have seen through the truth. You are so awesome, so amazing! You are pure stupid dogs."
In any case, the news of Luo Bai's live broadcast of playing Dark Souls was widely publicized and attracted the attention of countless players across the Internet.
