Chapter 123 As expected
Players on the Internet each held the same word, and quickly rose from a text argument to a video argument.
Some videos of "Dark Souls" have also spread, including some anchors who immediately broadcast "Dark Souls" live.
Among them, some players released the battle video of the first boss, Guda, the Ashes Judgment, which is different from the actual demonstration video at the online promotional conference.
In this video, the Ashes Judgment Guda appears to be very domineering.
The battle halberd in his hand turned around and moved, accompanied by the player's scream, directly clearing the blood bar.
It fully demonstrates what a terrible sight is.
In addition, there are videos of being shot into cakes by the crystal lizard and killing the sword brother Juhe in succession and killing them in seconds.
However, before this type of video fermentation, some players upload new videos.
Also facing the Ashes Judgment Guda.
But it's completely different from the previous performance.
The game is wearing knight's armor, one hand with a shield and the other hand with a sword.
Facing a slash from Ashes Guda, he raised his left hand, which was holding the shield, gently raised.
He bounced away the Ashes Guda's weapon directly, and then went forward to execute him.
The entire process, including the second form, was not encountered by Ashes Guda.
It can be said that he was played with applause.
The same boss has completely different effects.
This instantly made the player confused.
What's going on? Is this game difficult or not?
The same is true on the live broadcast platform, and some anchors are crying and crying.
But there are also anchors who just set out from the Ashes Cemetery to applaud Ash Guda, Dada Ge, and Luo Qi.
Of course, what new players don’t know is that whether it is a video or an anchor, although some of them are indeed talented by some players.
But a considerable number of them actually practiced for a long time in advance, or died several times and developed experience.
So many examples have just been launched with the game, which has led to many players having a poor information and never having a unified understanding, which has made more players curious.
What kind of game is this?
Some players have indeed thought of the previous "Escape".
I think someone wants to do a big deal.
But this made them even more curious.
After all, people are curious about unknown things, let alone a game.
And it seems that "Dark Souls" is not a horror game like "Escape".
"Escape" dare not step into the gate of a mental hospital, but how can "Dark Soul" still dare to spread the popularity?
With such an idea.
Countless players also jumped into the pit of "Dark Souls".
Then the players who entered the game at the second time were stunned.
Just like the first players.
These new players who have been in contact with "Dark Souls" for the second time instantly felt the deep maliciousness of this game.
Despite the advice and death images left by old players before.
But countless players still experienced it during the game that there was such a game that could make them die so happily.
Looking at the tall and burly uncle Guda, thinking about the handsome scene of killing Guda with three fists and two kicks in the video demonstration.
Then when I was alone, I realized that it was killed like chopping melons and vegetables.
Not to mention the fireproof female lady who made them feel itchy when they watched it online before.
If you want to see her, you have to kill Ashes Guda!
Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to touch the bronze gate of the fire sacrificial ground.
High difficulty, no small map, sinister and malicious level layout.
Many players who were attracted to it before instantly joined the camp of Ai Sheng Zai Dao.
"I vomited! This game is too difficult, right?"
"Why are there no difficulty options, and why are there no minimaps?"
"Don't your conscience hurt if those who say this game is simple!"
"I died 10 times in one hour. God knows how I did it!"
"I'm looking forward to it and thought it was a grass mowing game, but now you tell me, it turns out that I am grass myself?"
……………………
Nebula Games' office.
Although they are the National Day holiday, the core development members of the entire project are basically spontaneously staying within the company to work overtime.
After all, "Dark Souls" is their first major project in Nebula Games, and everyone is paying attention to its direction.
Of course, another point is also related to the high overtime pay and overtime benefits, and everyone is happy to work overtime.
"Mr. Chen's game community, as well as the company's official blog and your official blog, many players are discussing the difficulty of Black Soul!" Qin Yi, who is on the project team, was a little worried.
"Yes, will the difficulty selection system be updated in the subsequent game?"
“And a small map.”
Ruan Ningxue and Yang Xin also said in the office.
"The system and difficulty related to the game need not be changed, and it is too early to draw conclusions now." Chen Xu smiled, then turned to the customer service department and asked, "How is the relevant data?"
"The data of third-party platforms cannot be counted for the time being, but on the Nebula Game Platform, 495,721 copies have been sold 24 hours after the game is online, of which only 24,916 have been refunded. 40% of the players gave the reason that the game is too difficult, and the other 60% are other reasons."
After all, it is the first masterpiece of Nebula Games, and it has been promoting and warming up for a while before.
Coupled with the previous reputation of Nebula Games, the sales volume of nearly 500,000 copies on the first day is not surprising.
At the same time, due to coupons, most players also choose to spend on the Nebula game platform.
As for refunds, compared with ordinary games, the number of "Dark Souls" is indeed higher.
However, it was also as Chen Xu expected. Even the refund rate of "Dark Souls" was lower than that of "Escape".
Is Dark Souls a game suitable for everyone?
Obviously not.
Or in other words, no game will be suitable for everyone.
Because gaming is a very private experience.
Some people think 3a masterpieces are fun, some people think mobile games are fun, and some people think web games are fun.
So what kind of game you like depends on the player's own preferences.
However, "Dark Souls" is definitely a game that allows players to calm down and immerse themselves in it.
A high-difficulty characteristic of the entire game can be said to be closely related.
The shaping of boss levels, the shaping of maps, the shaping of combat systems in the game, and even the shaping of game art.
These are tightly connected.
If you want to reduce the difficulty of the game, it is equivalent to breaking a piece in the middle of a chain, thus breaking the entire chain.
This is not worth the loss.
What's more, compared to the comments of online players.
As a game developer through the data of the backend server, Chen Xu can better understand what the situation of "Dark Souls" is.
At present, it is much better than what Chen Xu had imagined before.
In addition to the people who squirt, there are also many players who speak for the game.
Currently, it is still in a 46-open mode. At the same time, the more important point is that the player's online duration has not continued to decline.
Even 70% of the first players have experienced more than 2 hours of refund time.
This surprised Chen Xu.
Obviously, the m attribute of the player in the parallel world is higher than what he predicted when he was investigating the market before!
These data also completely allow Chen Xu to sit still.
All that remains is time, let the fragrance of the bottle of wine in "Dark Souls" be slowly passed on.
This allows more players to smell the fragrance of this bottle of wine.
Of course, some appropriate guidance should be provided during this period.
Otherwise, it will still affect the results of "Dark Souls".
Chapter completed!
