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.
The little things add up, and compared to the previous games, it is already very good.
She browsed the Internet casually. So far, some players have indeed said good things about "Dreamland", but it is obvious that these praises are 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. The quality itself is displayed here, and it is inevitable that there are some tastes. Unique audiences will love 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 very 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 and read them all at once.
I have to say that Li always knows how to enjoy things.
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 so-called “connoisseur reviews.”
Connoisseurs may be some players who have received more praise, or they may be some professional game media. In short, there are certain official rules to give players the status of connoisseurs.
?These connoisseur reviews will have some special benefits, such as they will have default tags, allowing players to quickly filter out all connoisseur reviews;
Connoisseur reviews will be displayed before all other reviews;
??Even has special formats in terms of font color, font size, etc., to achieve a more eye-catching effect.
?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 game media in China 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 directly released simultaneously on all platforms.
On the official platform, Shaowan Game Network naturally has its own connoisseur account.
?? And 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 did not review every game. It was not a big problem if one or two game media were to criticize "Dreamland".
However, after seeing the comments in this connoisseur’s review, Lilith couldn’t stand it anymore.
It turned out to be "particularly praised"!
?? Lilith''s body inadvertently appeared with 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 become popular!”
“It’s finally out? I thought Shaowan Game Network was going to pretend to be dead this time!”
“I haven’t settled the accounts 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, Shao Wan Game Network almost succeeded in pretending to be dead. The popularity of the Internet came and went quickly, and everyone 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?
Place the blame on Nitian?
Still keep silent?
Obviously, these two possibilities are the highest.
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. It is very likely that they did not play the game at the time. , was deceived by the people in Nitian, and was inadvertently used as a gun.
So, Shaowan Game.com now only has these two options.
But these two options are not inherently good. If Ni Tiantian is blamed and all the responsibility for the interview is passed on, on the one hand, Ni Tiantian and fans of Ni Tian will be dissatisfied. After all, Ni Tiantian has good intentions. I accepted an interview with you, so why are you taking the blame now?
?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 of a dilemma. Whether it is admitted or denied, it will still further expand the negative impact.
unless…
?Lilith’s eyes continued to widen as she read the text of the review.
“Gu Fan! What on earth is going on!”
At the beginning of this review, her CPU almost burned out.
Shaowan Game Network 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 Nitian nor denied the matter.
Their response surprised everyone. “First of all, as the main writer, I, as the main writer, would like to 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, during the interview, the producer of Nitiantian had already made many hints, and the author roughly guessed that this game would not be as simple as everyone thought.
“However, detailing the actual content of the game in this interview would be tantamount to spoiling the movie for all viewers before it is released, which is a very inappropriate behavior.
“Therefore, in order to take care of the game experience of all players, the author thought twice 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 deeply experiences "Heartbeat Dreamland", especially after playing the true ending of this game and understanding the plot content hidden in the deeper layers of the game, you will definitely have a new understanding of this game!"
?This beginning made Lilith dizzy.
?She looked at Gu Fan in confusion: "Huh? It''s strange, Shao Wan Game Network is... taking the blame for us? ?
“Are you sick?”
Lilith is 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. It is entirely because Zhou Yang was talking too much in order to keep the game secret and deliberately used some ambiguous statements when answering questions. It caused misunderstanding among players.
But in this review, after the beautification of Chunqiu''s writing style, 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, Nitiantian''s employees revealed some details to them out of good intentions, but Shaowan Game Network deliberately concealed this information out of the idea of ??"not spoiling" and only used those Ambiguous statement.
?This is equivalent to taking all the blame for Nitian Games.
??If it were other companies, they might be a little moved.
??Game media took the initiative to stand up and 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 do you want to take the blame?
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With NiTian Tian not to the point where all the game media would kneel down and lick it?
? Lilith felt that her CPU was a little burned out. As a demon, she could not understand the twists and turns of the human world at all, and she always felt that there must be something wrong somewhere.
??He could only turn back to Gu Fan for help.
??Gu Fan also frowned and didn''t think about it 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...
“This editor from Shaowan Game Network feels that it would be profitable to take the initiative to help us take the blame.”
?Lilith was a little confused: "Ah? Profitable?
“Where exactly is it profitable? This is impossible!”
Gu Fan explained: "Actually, Shaowan Game Network can completely clarify it, or it can ignore it. We, Nitiantian Games, do not have the status that allows all game media to take the blame for us, so Shaowan Game Network must be doing this. What special purpose.
“As for what exactly is profitable…
“I think it should be ‘plot’. Shaowan Game.com 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 were quite reasonable.
“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 everyone will have a completely new understanding of this game after experiencing the game in depth, especially after playing the true ending of the game and understanding the plot content hidden deep in the game.”
? Judging from these two sentences, the emphasis 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, and the players are exhausted. After passing the level, they return to the real world and then continue to the next horror plot.
There are some plots in the romance content, but they are basically all written by fake AI. Nitiantian’s employees screened them, but compared with normal romance games, there is nothing special about them.
?Maybe it will feel like a science fiction movie when the girls take the initiative, 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, I also experienced the game in depth and found that this game actually has quite complex meta elements...”
In the subsequent review content, this manuscript details various operations on character files in the root directory folder, including deletion, copy-paste, rename, etc.
??Although most players have discovered that the files here can be modified, there are 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 Alice''s files like Zhang Qifeng, then skip the horror content in a short time and quickly experience the love part of the game;
??You can also just keep Arios in the end and enable various modification options built into the game, modify the game content at will, and repeatedly experience the details of the game 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 some 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?
“Is it the female characters who left the Garden of Eden? Or the players?
“What is the apocalyptic background of the game set for?
“These questions don’t seem to have clear answers in the game.
“But as long as we continue to collect the texts in the game, reason about these fragmented plots, and combine them with meta elements to infer, we will find that the plot of this game is far from as simple as everyone thinks!”
