Start a company to make games

Chapter 456 Not a level opponent
There are more cute newcomers, and many players who have scolded before have also started to be really fragrant.

Players are discussing strategy, online, the background story of the game, and the fancy style of a certain boss in the forum.

And the number of posts on the forum every day is also getting higher and higher, and the popularity is steadily rising.

All of these reflect the fact that the popularity of "Dark Soul" has gradually increased.

It's not the explosive popularity of the game, but the popularity of word of mouth after the players have experienced the essence of the game.

The ultra-high difficulty of "Dark Soul" is no longer a shortcoming, but has become one of the biggest highlights that attract players into the pit.

In addition, the love development link with the fireproof girl is also well received by the players.

Countless archaeologists and brain-filling experts have started all kinds of YY, and a large number of fan pictures have also appeared.

Players have all kinds of brain supplements, all kinds of research on the background plot of "Dark Soul", and the details and discoveries in the game.

Throughout the Internet, the various criticisms of "Dark Soul" at the beginning disappeared.

The current "Dark Soul" can be said to be well received by players and experts.

Under this situation, even those players who don't like action games and don't have confidence in their operating skills, many follow the trend and enter the game.

Penguin was embarrassed to find that the players who were interested in Penguin's "National Supervision" seemed to have disappeared because "Dark Soul" was too difficult and could not be adjusted.

In just one week, those players who kept shouting that "Dark Soul" was too difficult and were going to choose to buy "National Supervision" that could adjust the difficulty disappeared on the Internet.

The players were enthusiastically discussing the plot of "Dark Soul", discussing the boss fight style of "Dark Soul", and discussing the second and third episodes.

But no one discussed "National Supervision", and no one looked forward to "National Supervision".

""National Supervision" also claims to be a hardcore sci-fi action game with high difficulty? It's really boring to adjust the difficulty!"

……

If Penguin launches "National Supervision" within a week of "Dark Soul" being released, it may really be able to counterattack Dark Soul in one fell swoop.

But Penguin missed that opportunity, and they chose to wait for "Dark Soul" to be released for two weeks.

However, within a week, the word-of-mouth and player reviews of "Dark Soul" completed a major counterattack.

The current "Dark Soul" can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.

With the game level of "National Supervision", it is obviously impossible to defeat the current "Dark Soul".

However, this does not mean that there is a problem with Penguin's decision-making.

Because at least from the beginning, Fei Meng set the difficulty of "Dark Soul" so high, and did not add difficulty adjustment options, it was indeed a very bold choice.

Penguin, who is a fellow game company, thinks this is a very risky choice, which may cause problems.

The fact is also the same: after the listing, many players also scolded Liu Xiong for being anti-human.

It's just that the subsequent development of the plot was beyond Penguin's expectations. The speed of the players' real fragrance was beyond imagination. In a week, "Dark Soul" changed from anti-humanity to a super-era masterpiece.

The arrow had to be launched, and under such a very unfavorable situation, "National Supervision" was launched.

Low-key listed.

It's not that "National Supervision" wants to keep a low profile, but that the attention is too low.

"National Supervision" was completely cold.

Not many people buy it, and even fewer people discuss it on the Internet.

Occasionally there are some comments, but they also make some bad comments on "All People Supervision".

"The operability of the game itself is not bad, but the plot is very ordinary. It is said that it is a sci-fi end, but I only feel that the protagonist Long Aotian is chug-chug. It is not as tragic as "Dark Soul"!"

"Yes, "Dark Soul" is not only tragic, but also has a sense of mission without hesitation."

"The plot of "National Supervision" is really vulgar. It seems to be adapted from the Penguin family's own online novel. Xiaobaiwen is boring."

"The game difficulty prompt of "National Supervision" is so conspicuous, I couldn't help but lower the difficulty, and then the game became boring."

"I have already regretted buying "National Supervision". It is not at the same level as "Dark Soul". Except for the action and fighting design that can be fought, everything else is blown up in all directions."

"Great! I have a big flying dream! What kind of rotten fish and shrimp is "National Supervision"?"

Under such circumstances, it is foreseeable that "National Supervision" will hit the street.

In the first week of the launch of "National Supervision" and also in the third week of the launch of "Dark Soul", the sales of the two games are:

"National Supervision", 500 million sets.

"Dark Soul", 3500 million sets!

The two games that were originally thought to be competitors of the same level turned out to be 7 times different!
It's not a dimensional opponent at all!

Speaking of it, it was also "National Supervision" that was unlucky.

If "Dark Souls" is a normal masterpiece, with the highest sales in the first two weeks, and then slowly declining sales, then "National Supervision" is equivalent to missing the peak of "Dark Souls".

As a result, the first two weeks of "Dark Soul"'s release was just a warm-up. On the contrary, after "National Supervision" was released, it just happened to encounter the real peak of "Dark Soul" sales.

It's like "National Supervision", which has been thinking of staggering the edge of "Dark Soul", but actually bumped into it!

At the same time, he was hit on the head and bleeding.

This fiasco was a heavy blow to Penguin.

But in the current market, no one cares about the failure of "National Supervision", and now everyone's focus is on "Dark Soul".

There are already keen peers and high-end players who have seen the impact of "Dark Soul" on the current game market, and even innovation.

Never before has a game of such hardcore difficulty achieved such popularity.

For the game market that pursues simplicity and simplicity, this is undoubtedly a reminder: players do not only like action games that are straightforward and simple.

Action games with other characteristics, including "Dark Soul", still have their own audiences, and even have the possibility of a big explosion.

Just like "Dark Soul 3" on Earth-the Soul series is not an old IP with decades of accumulation, and the works before "Dark Soul 3" are not popular in China.

However, after the word-of-mouth precipitation of the previous work, quite a few players have recognized the game mode of the Soul series.

This is why "Dark Soul 3" has exploded in popularity, and it has become one of the most popular games in China in recent years.
