The queue is moving faster than expected.
There are a total of 20 computers arranged in 4 rows, and each person only has ten minutes to experience it. After the time is up, even if the staff does nothing, the players at the back will take the initiative to urge them and drive away those who are still sitting in their seats.
With so many people waiting behind, most people don't dare to stay there and stay there when it's time to experience it.
Later, Hao Yun discovered that in addition to the on-site trial version of "Dragon King", you can also get the activation code in front of the booth, download the demo version from the official website, activate it and continue playing.
However, because it is a demo version, the game plot only ends at Chapter 001. Even if you continue to get the activation code and go to an Internet cafe near the convention and exhibition center or go home to continue the experience, you will not be able to play for long.
However, even so, there are still so many people lining up, which is really enviable.
After queuing for two hours, Hao Yun finally arrived at his place. He looked back at the sea of people behind him.
Good guy, there are twice as many as when I first came here.
This is too exaggerated!
"Start quickly, the people behind are still waiting." Seeing Hao Yun sitting in his seat without moving for a long time, the staff on the side urged.
"Okay, okay, don't panic."
Putting on his headphones and holding the mouse, Hao Yun clicked start and entered the game.
One minute opening animation.
Other players skipped it, but he did not skip it, but watched the game plot.
The protagonist is an abandoned baby of the dragon clan, and he is also an awesome member of the former royal family.
Due to court struggles and court intrigues, the infant protagonist was expelled from the East China Sea. He was picked up by a fisherman and raised as an adult. By chance, he studied under a teacher on the Five Elements Mountain, and finally uncovered the mystery of his life experience under the guidance of the gods. , carrying a gun and a sword to kill the bloody enemy back to the Dragon Palace, and regain the family's glory and the throne.
Generally speaking, as a passionate action role-playing game, although the plot of this game is not outstanding, it is still quite satisfactory. There are contradictions and conflicts. The main plot is revenge, and it is fun all the way to the end. .
I don’t know why the sense of sight is so strong...
In addition to the plot, it is the gameplay itself. The upgrade system of mainstream games and the clean fighting scenes, even if evaluated according to the standards of 3A games, Hao Yun can give him a score of at least 7 points.
"The plot is a passing score of 6, the music is a 7, the graphics is definitely an 8, the only thing holding it back is the gameplay."
"The plot is originally one that can be seen at a glance, coupled with the game pace that is slowed down by the upgrade speed, the main storyline will become boring no matter how exciting it is... the total score can only be given to 6 points at most."
After the trial, Hao Yun made this comment.
I don’t know if it’s because of the demo version, but the pace of the game is surprisingly slow. The benefits gained from killing monsters are completely out of proportion to the effort and time spent. If you want to upgrade from level one to level two, you have to kill 100 monsters. 10 minutes of experience time is enough to level up and unlock the second skill.
No matter how exquisite the skill special effects are and how cool the fighting scenes are, repeating it a hundred times is enough to make people uncomfortable.
When he reached more than 80 miscellaneous soldiers, Hao Yun couldn't help but want to fast forward.
"I can only say that it is quite satisfactory."
Just completed the first task in ten minutes.
Taking off his headphones, Hao Yun sighed.
Standing up, he gave up his seat to the players lining up behind him and squeezed out of the crowd.
He thought it was over, but just when he was about to leave, a tall, thin man wearing glasses caught up with him.
The man looked very young, about twenty-five or six, with gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He smiled with a hint of elegance, which hid the arrogance behind the smile very well.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
After being stopped, Hao Yun looked back and met the man's eyes. Then he saw the camera next to him, and a hint of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
It turned out to be an interview...
Thinking that the fan recognized his identity, Zhou Zhenyu's smile became brighter and he spoke in a gentle voice.
"Hello, I am Zhou Zhenyu, the manager and chief game designer of Sunbird Studio!"
"Hello," Hao Yun took the hand he extended and shook it. Although Hao Yun wondered why he stopped him, he politely said "Nice to meet you."
"That's right sir, I just noticed you sighed after trying it."
Hearing these words, Hao Yun was stunned for a moment.
Damn it
Did you see all this
"...Uh, what's the problem?"
"Of course! As the designer of Dragon King, I would like to know if there is anything about our game that is not good enough, or that makes you dissatisfied." Zhou Zhenyu said with a smile on his face, making a humbly asking for advice. appearance.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Hao Yun actually caught a hint of expectation in his eyes
In fact, his feeling was really accurate. When Zhou Zhenyu said this, he did have some expectation for a good luck answer.
There is no other reason.
There was a queue starting from the moment the booth opened. There is no doubt that we are die-hard fans!
What else can a die-hard "Sunbirds" fan sigh about after finishing the game
It’s just that the trial time was too short and I couldn’t experience all of the game!
In fact, this is part of marketing, and it is called hunger marketing!
That alone is not enough, he has to find a way to give players a chance to show this unfulfilled hunger in front of the camera!
The cameraman next to him was facing here, and Zhou Zhenyu basically threw the microphone to Hao Yun, hoping to hear from him the enthusiasm and love of "Ordinary Players" for "Dragon King".
However…
Hao Yun's answer was destined to disappoint him.
Seeing this guy's "sincere" request for advice, Hao Yun was so moved by this craftsmanship that he strived for excellence that he was embarrassed to keep it to himself, coughed slightly and said.
"Do you have to say it?"
"Of course! Please be sure to provide me with your valuable opinions! Your opinions will be the source of strength for us to forge ahead and go further in the game industry! If you are willing to say it, we will provide you with a copy of Dragon King Small peripheral gifts." Zhou Zhenyu said with a serious look on his face and a somewhat urging tone.
"There's no need for gifts, then... I'll just talk about it." Hao Yun smiled sheepishly and said, "The graphics and special effects are both excellent. There's nothing to say. If it scores above 8, I'll just talk about the specifics." Let’s play with it.”
Hearing these words, Zhou Zhenyu was slightly startled, and for some reason he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Always felt…
The development of this conversation seems to be a little different from what I expected
As if to confirm his guess, Hao Yun cleared his throat and continued.
“First of all, the plot is too cliche, but there are no flaws in the logic of the story. However, I personally suggest that since revenge is the main line, don’t put too much ink on the side lines. This will not only slow down the pace of the game, It also distracts players from the focus."
"Slowing down... the pace of the game?" Unexpectedly, Hao Yunzhen started to find fault. Zhou Zhenyu looked dumbfounded and forgot how to retort for a moment.
"That's right." Satisfied with the way this guy listened humbly, Hao Yun nodded approvingly and continued, "For example, in the fishing village... which is also the novice village in the game, there is absolutely no need to write about the emotional experience of the protagonist in his childhood. If you must If you want to add it, why don't you just integrate this part of the plot into the opening animation or simply put it into the pv to accelerate the environment of apprenticeship at Five Elements Mountain? Don't you think this plot will not have any impact even if it is cut off? ?”
This time Zhou Zhenyu finally reflected.
Good guy!
Turns out I’m here to find fault!
"I disagree with this point." Zhou Zhenyu pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, raised his chin slightly, and his tone gradually became arrogant, "The plot about the protagonist's childhood is to enrich the character's image, and to prepare the plot for the subsequent apprenticeship. To connect and serve as a tutorial for novices—"
"Even if it's a novice tutorial, fighting a hundred crabs in the novice village is too torturous," Hao Yun sighed and said, "I admit that for third-person ARPGs, swiping is indeed a popular gameplay. Combined with The collection and development elements can easily allow players to get pleasure from the growth of characters and harvesting new equipment. However, this element may not be suitable for Dragon King, which focuses on plot and action, and may even become a burden. To be honest, you really Have you ever played a game you designed?”
"Maybe it's a personal feeling."
"No matter how cool the skill is, if in order to advance to the next level, I have to play it hundreds or even thousands of times against a group of NPCs who all look the same... I'm afraid even if I like this game, I won't be able to help but want to find a quick skill." Enter the key."
The so-called fast forward key is naturally a modifier.
If slowing down the pace of the game and increasing the difficulty of the game are to extend the player's gaming time, then modifiers are the most extreme and direct way for players to fight against producers.
He can squeeze out the entire game at once in the shortest possible time, making the growth and development elements of the game useless by destroying the numerical balance, and allowing a player to quickly experience the two states from adultery to sage time. switch.
Putting aside those games whose selling point is DIY, how many games are directly thrown into the library to eat dust after using modifiers
If you think this will not affect the sales of the game, you can only say that you are too young.
After spending about 10 minutes, Hao Yun briefly reviewed his understanding of action-adventure games and put forward some suggestions for improvements to Dragon King without hiding anything.
For example, if you are worried that players will be bored with the development elements in the game, you can set it up as an open map for players to explore freely outside of the main storyline.
This is almost the standard for action-adventure games after 2020 in the last generation. In order to sell sales and allow players to spend more time on their own games, even FPS games can be made into sandboxes. The industry has gone completely crazy. .
He actually said something similar to Mr. Xu of DaMi Entertainment, and even added an enlightenment buff to him.
Unfortunately, classmate Zhou Zhenyu didn't seem to be that smart. He just looked at him in confusion, obviously not understanding what he was saying.
Hao Yun couldn't help but feel disappointment in his eyes.
It seems that it is not that easy to get rewards from the prostitution system for free.
Sighing slightly, Hao Yun shook his head and said.
"... That's all I'll say, you can think about it yourself."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and while Zhou Zhenyu and the photographer next to him looked at him in confusion, he turned around and left...
