Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 364

Under the urging of Lao Li, many people in the group bought the "updated platinum version of the plug-in".

I have to say that Lao Li still has a good reputation in this group. This plug-in group has existed for more than a year. The core customers in the group have basically followed from the beginning to the present. After buying the auxiliary program, they have indeed been It is updated by Lao Li for free, and he has worked hard for such a long time, which guarantees the cheating experience of these cheating players.

Similar regular upgrades like this have been done twice before, all because the game has undergone a version update, which increases the difficulty of cracking the cheats. It is more difficult for Lao Li to do cheats. Once the cheats are upgraded, the cost will naturally increase.

Regarding this, the players in the group didn't think too much about it, and they were all looking forward to Lao Li's update of the latest Platinum version of the plug-in program.

In the evening, Lao Li counted the achievements of the day, and the harvest was quite fruitful.

The income from selling and hanging on this day alone is more than 8!
Of course, it was impossible to earn so much every day before. Basically, the new players bought sporadically for a month or two. Some bought the cheapest version for only one or two hundred a month, and the more expensive ones were four or five hundred, not much. income.

But every time he sells this kind of "advanced version of plug-ins", Lao Li's income is often very considerable.

Because every time this advanced version of the plug-in is launched, several local tyrants in the group will directly renew and upgrade, and often directly renew for one year as soon as they renew.

For example, Lao Li launched the "Platinum Edition" this time. The price is 500/month, and the annual subscription can be directly discounted by 3000%.In addition, there are also some that are packaged for half a year, and you can get a 3000% discount. Basically, those regular customers will buy a few more months in order to get a cheaper price.

In this way, Lao Li made a lot of money directly!
Lao Li fell asleep directly in the afternoon, because he stayed up all night last night, and he really couldn't bear it anymore, but he still created a feeling for the players in the group that he was desperately staying up late to update the plug-in program. illusion.

When Lao Li woke up, it was already past three o'clock in the morning.He sat up directly from the bed and looked at the situation in the group.

Well, the few night owls who stayed up late in the group didn't speak anymore, most of them probably have already rested.

There were still a few people who stayed up late waiting for the plug-in update, but they didn't wait, probably they have already gone to bed, and they will look at it tomorrow morning.

Lao Li disbanded the chat group and ran away decisively.

……

The next day, many players who were originally in the cheating chat group woke up and were dumbfounded.

Chat group disbanded!

These people don't have a second channel to contact each other. Only a very small number of players have friends with each other, and when they add up with each other, they suddenly realize that they have been cheated!

"What do you mean, why did Lao Li disband the chat group?"

"Yeah, my chat group is gone!"

"What do you mean this is?"

"What do you mean? Nonsense, we were deceived!"

"Fuck! Is Lao Li still a human being? He ran away with money?"

"Damn it, I just charged it for a year!"

"Does that mean that he lied when he said he made a platinum version? Just to cheat us of money?"

"So that's it! This is too shameless! It's too shameless!"

All the players in the original hacking group were filled with righteous indignation and were about to explode!

Yesterday, I was tortured by various players in the game until I vomited blood, and I was waiting for the cheat update to come back. As a result, the creator of the cheat ran away early in the morning, and took all the money away!

Individual wealthy players have friends with each other, and they are already uniting to get the money back, but how easy is this thing?
What they bought was not real goods, and it was not protected by the law. Moreover, all transactions were conducted online. Lao Li didn't use his real identity information at all, and it was difficult to trace.

However, it is hard to say whether these local tyrants have other means.

……

After "Xuanjia Project" updated the god-killing mode, the players are just like Chinese New Year, rejoicing!

In the past, players hated cheating, and when they entered the game, they prayed that there would be no cheating in this game. Once there was a cheating, almost everyone would be disgusted. The game experience has also been destroyed, and there is no way to make up for it.

But it's different now, players are still looking forward to a few cheats in the game!

After this update, the detection efficiency of cheating has become particularly high, and basically it can be detected within the bureau.After the detection, the whole game will enter the god-killing mode, and all dead players will be resurrected, invincible + unlimited bullets, and the authorities can kill cheaters for revenge.

It’s good that cheaters can’t hold back, and they can die more happily. The more they persist, the worse they will be abused, and the rewards for players will be better.

Many players who have been suffering from cheating for a long time said that after being abused by orphans who cheated for so long, they are finally able to abuse them again, which is cool!

Although such a normal game flow will still be destroyed, what does that matter?It's fine if you can abuse the plug-in!

There are even a lot of GS1 host players who come to the PC platform specially, just want to experience the god-killing mode. There is no cheat in the game, but they feel uncomfortable all over.

Moreover, some news broke out on the Internet, the group owners of several cheating groups chose to donate and run away!
Some didn't run, but they were all helpless with the god-killing mode of "Xuanjia Project", and turned the direction of plug-in development to other games.

Relying on the god-killing mode of "Xuanjia Project", Shimmer Studio once again became famous. This unprecedented anti-cheat measure is called "the most successful anti-cheat measure in history" by players.

……

On December 12th, the IGP Game Awards Ceremony.

This awards ceremony attracted the attention of a large number of Chinese players, because at this awards ceremony, Weiguang Interactive Entertainment's games won several nominations.

"Resident Evil" and "Ink Cloud 2" were nominated for Game of the Year;

"Resident Evil" and "Project Xuanjia" nominated best shooting game;
"Ink Cloud 2" was nominated for the best action-adventure game and the most creative game;
Starfire nominated Best Strategy Game;
Sekiro was nominated for Best Action Game.

For this nomination list, all players and game developers are convinced.

So productive!

Strictly speaking, so many games are made by the two studios under Weiguang Interactive Entertainment. Although Tianji Studio is also making games, they are all krypton gold games after all, and it is okay to make money. In this kind of selection, it is not Very promising.

But it is not easy for the two studios to produce so many games, and the games they make are all high-quality games, who can resist this!

At this awards ceremony, Shimmer Studios lived up to expectations and won a number of awards. The game of the year was finally awarded to "Ink and Cloud 2". It can be said that this is an award that everyone expected. Fenghe's unconstrained gameplay completely convinced the judges and players all over the world. As the only masterpiece of this year with a perfect score, it is very reasonable to win the game of the year.

"Resident Evil" took the best shooter game.Although "Xuanjia Project" has become popular all over the world, it is still a bit lacking in terms of compulsion.In fact, the quality of "Resident Evil" in previous years is also fully qualified to compete for the annual game, but this year it was unlucky to crash its own "Ink and Cloud 2", so there is no way.

However, the IP value of "Resident Evil" is still there, and it also has a large number of diehard fans.

"Interstellar Tinder" won the best strategy game, and "Sekiro" won the best action game. There is nothing to say about these two games, and they have reached the top level in their respective fields.

Although "Sekiro" makes people suffer, it is also highly respected by Western players. A large number of hardcore Western players have also participated in the "Sekiro" racing competition, and it is difficult to compete with Chinese players on the list Difficult solution.

It is worth mentioning that the appearance of "Sekiro" made the IGP judges very busy, because this game is too close to the IGP awards ceremony, and there is only about two weeks in between. time.The nominations for the best action game had already been decided, so "Sekiro" was forcibly added.

The original best action game was "Xtreme Fighting 3", but now it can only mean MMP, and the award in hand is inexplicably gone!
At the award ceremony, Zhong Ming, as the designer of Shimmer Studio, was a little embarrassed to accept the award repeatedly.

After the announcement of the final game of the year, Zhong Ming came on stage again, and this time, the official also played the DLC of "Ink and Cloud 2" and the joint promotional video of "Sekiro" and "Ink and Mist 2" on the big screen, bringing the atmosphere of the scene push to the top.

On the big screen, the first is the DLC content of "Ink and Cloud 2".

The brand-new master mode, the scholar encountered more high-level monsters, and the difficulty of the battle was comprehensively increased; a large number of game linkage content; brand-new difficult trials, speed-running challenges, etc., all made players love "Ink Cloud 2" Anticipation for the DLC is at an all-time high.

Players saw the protective clothing in "Interstellar Tinder" in the promotional video. This protective clothing can be obtained directly in the DLC of "Ink and Cloud 2". After wearing it, it can have the functions of cold protection clothing and heat insulation clothing;

At the same time, many new vehicles appeared in the promotional film, such as wooden kites, locomotives, and umbrellas.

When the wooden kite and locomotive appeared, there was a burst of cheers at the scene. The players saw that this cool all-terrain automatic unicycle can climb mountains and move on water. , it is much easier to use than the horses drawn by scholars before.

When they saw the organ umbrella, there was a burst of laughter and boos at the scene. Obviously, there were many players who were unconsciously abused by "Sekiro".

Although the speedrunning competition of the game "Sekiro" is in full swing, after all, it has just been released and the publicity in the western regions has not been in place. After this IGP publicity and the linkage of the two games, it will definitely be able to Let the popularity of "Sekiro" rise further.

All in all, at this IGP Awards Ceremony, Weiguang Interactive Entertainment can be said to be the biggest winner. The acquisition of the annual game also marks that Weiguang Studio has officially entered the ranks of world-class studios, and Zhong Ming can also compete with those world-renowned games. Producers are on par!

……

On the Weiguang live broadcast platform, the "Sekiro" racing competition is gradually coming to an end.

During the month-long "Sekiro" customs clearance competition, many great gods hidden in the folk appeared, and at the same time, players really realized the gap between people.

In the first part of the half-price clearance event, the official statistics show that the number of game clearances after one month is 9.4%. As for the number of players who have cleared the eight weeks, it is only a pitiful 1.3%.

That is to say, less than 10% of the players received a half-price reward for clearing the game one month after the game was released, and only a poor 1% of the players who finally received a full refund.

The players expressed their admiration one after another, as expected, Zhong Ming can play!
When many players see the rule of "half price for customs clearance", they still feel that they must have made a profit.After all, they feel that no matter how difficult the design of the game "Sekiro" is, the player's tolerance must always be considered, right?It's impossible to make a game that can't be cleared, right?

After the game came out, it was really hard at the beginning, but seeing so many speedrunning strategies and no-injury strategies on the Internet, it gave players an illusion that as long as the game "Sekiro" is willing to work hard, it will definitely pass the level .

Of course, this idea is correct, but "you can pass the level with hard work", the key still depends on how hard you work...

Although the "half-price clearance" event is always in effect, players who have not completed the game one month after its release, the probability of completing it in the future will not be too high.The players said one after another that they were really cheated by Zhong Ming!

A half-price event was held to trick everyone into buying the game, but in the end they suffered and abused and spent money, and there was no way to get a refund!
Literally vomited blood.

As for the speedrun of the four endings in the second part, many great players have emerged around the world.Among them, the clearance time of the Shura ending has been compressed to about 45 minutes, while the non-Sura ending is about 1 hour and 40 minutes.Because the program of "Sekiro" produced by Zhong Ming is not exactly the same as that of "Sekiro" in the previous life, the carding and jumping methods of many bug points are also different.

The design team of "Sekiro" is also working hard to fix bugs, but the ingenuity of the players is endless, and they still found some bugs that can quickly skip the boss, so the clearance time was successfully compressed.

However, the speedrunning video of "Sekiro" did bring extra talking points to the players. Watching each of the speedrunning masters complete the plots and various bugs that I hadn't cleared up in a month in a few 10 minutes Come, there is no props to kill the final boss perfectly, and the onlookers can only sigh with emotion, this is the world of great gods!

Moreover, the racing competition also allowed many high-end players to stand out and be well known by the audience.These people may have been just ordinary players, but now after the test of "Sekiro", they have gathered fans and enthusiasm, and transformed into host area anchors of Shimmer Live.

In the third part, the harmless boss competition was even more flourishing, and many ordinary players were able to participate.

The ranking rules for the non-injury boss competition are based on factors such as boss difficulty and killing time. On the one hand, players are encouraged to farm multiple bosses, and on the other hand, players are encouraged to adopt many different ways to play.

For example, some players invented the Phantom Broken Monk's style of play, eating Moon Hidden Candy to sneak up on them, and then kept pinching the Ming Seed and throwing ashes, and at the same time moved to the lamppost next to the Phantom Broken Monk, where the Broken Monk was controlled by the ash ball The stage can be assassinated by jumping directly from the lamp post.Using this method, he successfully achieved Gao Zhou's goal of assassinating the Phantom Broken Monk without injury, and received a reward of 1 coupons.

And this style of play has also been adopted by the speed-passing process, compressing all kinds of speed-passing processes for tens of seconds.

In the end, the "Sekiro" racing competition ended perfectly. The top three speedrunners got bonus rewards, and the top players in the uninjured boss competition also got coupons, and all participants got rewards. For the players who can pass the level, they also became a melon-eating crowd, and the onlookers were very happy.

For Zhong Ming, the benefits are even more.On the one hand, the popularity and sales of the game "Sekiro" continued to rise during the month, and on the other hand, Shimmer Live took this opportunity to attract a large number of viewers.

So far, the game "Sekiro" can be regarded as a lesson for game designers and players all over the world.

Is the game difficult?
It doesn't matter, high difficulty can also be used as a selling point of the game, the key is to see how well you do it!
