Chapter 404: Why did Shaowan Game.com take the blame?
Seeing that the contract was signed, the deposit was paid, and the figure manufacturer had promised to start mass production immediately, Lilith finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, the dust should have settled, right?
"Heartbeat Dreamland" has received mixed reviews on the Internet so far. Although the collection of negative emotions at this time has slowed down significantly compared to the beginning, it is still there.
A little adds up to a lot. Compared with the previous games, it is already very good.
She browsed the Internet casually. So far, some players did say good things about "Dreamland", but it was obvious that these praises were not enough to change public opinion.
Even Lilith was a little surprised that someone would like this kind of game?
But then I thought about it, this is normal. After all, although the game "Heartbeat Dreamland" is very well-made, the love game part and the horror game part are very solid, and the quality itself is displayed here. , it is inevitable that some viewers with unique tastes will like it.
This little bit of painless praise will not undermine the overall situation.
Lilith scrolled through the reviews happily. Suddenly, her hand stopped sliding the mouse wheel.
And her body tensed up instantly, as if she had seen something terrifying!
Gu Fan secretly glanced at the computer screen. At this time, Lilith was reading the reviews of the game "Heartbeat Dreamland" on the official platform. She deliberately filtered out all the negative reviews in the tags. See enough at one time.
I have to say that Li always knows how to enjoy.
But there is a line of eye-catching fonts on the evaluation interface: There is 1 new connoisseur review recently!
On the official platform, in addition to players who have purchased the game being able to post reviews freely, there will also be some special reviews, which are the so-called "connoisseur reviews".
Connoisseurs may be some players who have received more praise, or they may be some professional game media. In short, the official has certain rules to give players the status of connoisseurs.
These connoisseur reviews will have some special benefits. For example, they will have default tags, allowing players to quickly filter out all connoisseur reviews;
Connoisseur reviews will take priority over All other reviews show;
There are even special formats in terms of font color, font size, etc. to make it more eye-catching.
Of course, the status of a connoisseur is not static. If no high-value reviews are output for a long time, this status may be officially withdrawn.
And this time the connoisseur review publishing account can be regarded as an old face: play less games network!
As a relatively large domestic game media that prides itself on being professional, in addition to regularly publishing various game reviews on its own website, Shaowan Game.com also attaches great importance to other media.
For example, live broadcast platforms, video platforms, and Shaowan Game Network are also operating seriously and will regularly forward their excellent manuscripts or excellent reviews.
Even some large-scale manuscripts are published simultaneously on all platforms.
On the official platform, Shaowan Game Network naturally has its own connoisseur account.
This time, Shaowan Game Network’s review of “Heartbeat Dreamland” is belatedly coming, at least one or two days later than other game review media.
Lilith originally thought it didn't matter. After all, these game media would not review every game. It would not be a big problem if one or two game media were to miss "Heartbeat Dreamland".
However, after seeing the comments in this connoisseur’s review, Lilith couldn’t stand it anymore.
It turned out to be "specially praised"!
Lilith inadvertently appeared a hot murderous aura, she decisively moved the mouse to check it out!
This review has just been published not long ago, but after all, Shaowan Game Network is considered a relatively influential platform, so many players have already grabbed the sofa in the comment area before they have had time to read the entire content of this review carefully. .
“Front row!”
“I heard that as long as you come early, you can get the hot spot!”
“Finally it’s out? I thought I’d play less games online. I'm just pretending to be dead!"
"I haven't settled the matter with you for misleading players before, so I'm so embarrassed to leave a review!"
"That's right, I just remembered that the last review hasn't been explained yet!"
Originally, those who played less games online almost succeeded in pretending to be dead. The popularity of the Internet comes and goes quickly. Everyone I almost forgot about the previous interview.
As a result, as soon as this review came out, the players’ memory was strengthened again.
Everyone is very curious. The previous interview on Shaowan Game.com can be said to have definitely misled players, right? As a gaming media, how can we explain such bad behavior?
Putting the blame to Ni Tiantang?
Or keep silent?
Obviously, these two are the most likely.
In fact, players all know that compared to other game media, Shaowan Game Network is more realistic. The content in the manuscript is not necessarily that they deliberately deceive players. They were very Maybe he didn't play the game, but he was deceived by the people in Nitian, and he was inadvertently used as a gun.
So, Shaowan Game Network now only has these two options.
But these two options are not inherently good. If Ni Tiantian is blamed and all the responsibility for that interview is passed on, on the one hand, Ni Tiantian and fans of Ni Tiantian will be dissatisfied. , after all Ni Tiantang kindly accepted your interview, why are you now blaming me?
If you do this, will any game media be willing to accept interviews from you in the future?
But the more they kept silent about it, the more concerned and concerned the players became, and they would even mention it repeatedly in every report on Lesser Game Network in the future.
In case the players haven’t forgotten, the impact will be even more profound and bad.
Obviously, Shaowan Game Network chose to publish a game review at this critical juncture, which is indeed a bit awkward. Whether it is admitted or denied, it will still further expand the negative impact.
Unless...
Lilith looked at the text of the review, her eyes widening.
"Gu Fan! What the hell is going on!!"
At the beginning of this review, her CPU almost burned out.
Shaowan Games.com actually directly mentioned the previous interview as soon as it came up!
And what everyone didn’t expect was that Shaowan Game.com neither blamed Ni Tiantang nor denied the matter.
Their response surprised everyone. "First of all, as the main writer, I, as the main writer, deeply apologize to all netizens, players, and readers for the interview I did with Nitian's internal employees before the launch of "Heartbeat Dreamland"!
"In fact As early as during the interview, the producer of Nitiantian had already given many hints, and the author roughly guessed that this game would not be as simple as everyone thought.
“However, if the actual content of the game is introduced in detail in this interview, it is equivalent to spoiling all viewers before the movie is released, which is a very inappropriate behavior.
“Therefore, in order to take care of the game experience of all players, the author thought again and again, and finally decided to keep the suspense until the last moment. We deeply apologize for the trouble this has caused everyone!
"However, I believe that after everyone experiences "Heartbeat Dreamland" in depth, especially after playing the true ending of this game and understanding the plot content hidden deep in the game, you will definitely have a new understanding of this game!"
Lilith was stunned at the beginning.
She looked at Gu Fan in confusion: "Huh? It's strange, Shaowan Game Network is... taking the blame for us??
"Are you sick? ! ”
Lilith is also probably aware of Shaowan Game.com’s interview with Zhou Yang. To be precise, the misleading this interview has caused to players has nothing to do with Shaowan Game Network and has nothing to do with it. It was Zhou Yang who kept the game secret and deliberately used some ambiguous statements when answering questions, which caused misunderstanding among the players
But in this review, after the beautification of Chunqiu brushwork, the meaning has become different!
According to Shaowan Game Network, they had actually heard something was wrong during the interview.
As for what they heard specifically? Or are there hints from Nitiantian's employees? This isn't stated outright, but players are obviously inclined to think it's both.
In other words, the employees of Nitiantian revealed some details to them out of good intentions, but Shaowan Game Network deliberately concealed these out of the idea of "not spoiling". information, using only those ambiguous statements.
This is equivalent to helping Nitian Games take all the blame.
If it were other companies, they might be a little moved.
The game media took the initiative to help share the firepower. How loyal!
But for Lilith, this is not necessary at all. After all, the louder the players scold, the more negative emotions will be generated. The players will scold you if they don't scold me, so who will supply me with the negative emotions I lack?
The key is to play less games. Why would you take the initiative to take the blame?
Nitian Tian is not to the point where all the game media will kneel down, right?
Lilith felt that her CPU was a little burned out. As a demon, she couldn't understand these twists and turns in the world at all, and she always felt that there must be something wrong somewhere.
I can only turn back to Gu Fan for help.
Gu Fan also frowned, not thinking clearly for a while.
Although he knows the game itself well, he does not know the internal situation of Shaowan Game Network. This review is the first time he has seen it.
"Wait a moment, Mr. Li, let me make a brief deduction."
Gu Fan frowned and thought for a moment, then continued: "Mr. Li, I think after ruling out other possibilities, the only possibility is...
"The editor of Shaowan Game Network feels that taking the initiative to help We can make a profit by taking the blame. "
Lilith was a little confused: "Huh? profitable?
"What exactly is profitable? This is impossible!"
Gu Fan explained: "In fact, Shaowan Game Network can completely clarify it, or ignore it. We are at Nitianxian Games We don’t have the status to let all game media take the blame for us, so Shaowan Game Network must have some special purpose for doing this.
"As for what exactly is profitable...
"I think it should be the "plot". Shaowan Game Network seems to believe that starting with the plot of this game can not only offset the negative impact of the previous interview, but may also bring more traffic to the website.
"This should be the only possibility."
Lilith looked at the previous paragraph carefully again, and instantly realized that Gu Fan's words made sense.
“If you report it truthfully, it will be like spoiling the movie before it is released, and it will be irresponsible to the players.”
"I believe that after everyone experiences "Heartbeat Dreamland" in depth, especially after playing the true ending of this game and understanding the plot content hidden deep in the game, you will have a new understanding of this game."
Judging from these two sentences, the focus of Shaowan Game Network is indeed "plot".
But this makes Lilith even more confused, plot? Does the game "Heartbeat Dreamland" have that thing?
The horror content of this game basically has no plot. The whole process is about chasing each other. Players are exhausted. After completing the level, they return to the real world and then continue to the next horror plot.
There are some plots in the love content, but they are basically written by fake-AI. Nitiantian’s employees screened them, but compared with normal love games, there is nothing special. .
Maybe when the girls in it take the initiative, it will feel like a science fiction movie, but this kind of thing is not worth bragging about, right?
Lilith couldn't help but continue reading, wondering who the Shaowan Game Network is, and how dare they boast about something that doesn't exist at all.
“After the game was officially released, the author also experienced the game in depth and found that this game actually has quite complex meta elements...”
In the subsequent review content, this manuscript Various operations on character files in the root directory folder are introduced in detail, including deletion, copy-paste, rename, etc.
Although most players have discovered that the files here can be modified, there are really not many who have conducted comprehensive experiments like Zhang Qifeng.
After reading this review, I really felt like I had an enlightenment.
With these operations, players can actually complete many functions that the game does not originally support.
For example, you can transform a certain archive into an exclusive archive for a certain character. After entering, you can continue to chat, train and modify the AI;
You can delete Arios like Zhang Qifeng. file, and then skip the horror content in a short period of time and quickly experience the love part of the game;
You can also finally keep only Arios and enable various modification options built into the game, and modify the game content at will. Modify and experience every detail of the game over and over like a multi-game game.
Although the archiving function of the game itself is not particularly perfect, using the special mechanism of the meta game, you can easily do things that would otherwise be impossible.
But obviously, this is just the appearance and not the whole plot of this game.
“Everyone must be guessing, who is the savior?
“Are they the female characters who left the Garden of Eden? Or a player?
“Why is the apocalyptic background of the game set?
"These questions do not seem to have clear answers in the game.
"But as long as we continue to collect texts in the game, reason about these fragmented plots, and then combine them with meta elements to infer, we will I discovered that the plot of this game is far from as simple as everyone imagined! ”
