An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 166 Then I'll Just Talk About It

The queue is moving faster than expected.

A total of 20 computers are arranged in 4 rows, and each person only has ten minutes of experience time. Even if the staff does nothing after the time is up, the players in the back will take the initiative to urge and drive away those who are still sitting in their seats.

With so many people waiting behind, the average person would not dare to incur public wrath and refuse to leave when the experience time comes.

Later, Hao Yun discovered that besides the on-site experience version of "Dragon King", you can also get the activation code in front of the booth, download the demo version from the official website and activate it to continue playing.

However, because it is a Demo version, the game story only ends in Chapter 1. Even if you continue to get the activation code and go to an Internet cafe near the exhibition center or go home to continue the experience, you won’t be able to play for long.

However, even so, there are still so many people queuing up, which is really enviable.

After queuing for two hours, he finally got to his place. Hao Yun turned his head and glanced at the sea of ​​people behind him.

Good guy, it's twice as big as when I first came here.

This is too exaggerated!

"Let's start quickly, the people behind are still waiting." Seeing Hao Yun sitting on the seat without moving for a long time, the staff on the side urged.

"Okay, okay, don't panic."

Putting on the earphones, Hao Yun, holding the mouse, clicked Start and entered the game.

The opening animation is one minute.

The other players skipped over, but he didn't, instead watching the plot of the game.

The protagonist is an abandoned baby of the dragon clan, and he is also an awesome former royal family.

Because of the court struggle and the conspiracy in the court, the protagonist who was still a baby was expelled from the East China Sea, picked up by a fisherman and brought up as an adult. By chance, he studied with a teacher on the Five Elements Mountain, and finally revealed the mystery of his life under the guidance of the gods. , with a gun and a sword, kill the bloody enemies in the Dragon Palace, and regain the family's glory and throne adventure story.

Generally speaking, as a passionate action role-playing game, although the plot of this game is not outstanding, it is quite satisfactory, with contradictions and conflicts. .

I don’t know why the sense of sight is so strong...

In addition to the plot, it is its own gameplay. The upgrade system of mainstream games and the clean fighting screen, even if evaluated according to the standards of 3A games, Hao Yun can give him at least 7 points.

"A score of 6 is a passing score for the plot, a score of 7 for the music, and an 8 for the graphics. The only thing that is holding back is the gameplay."

"It's a plot that can be seen at a glance, coupled with the game rhythm slowed down by the upgrade speed, no matter how exciting the main story is, it will become boring... The total score can be given at most 6 points."

After the trial, Hao Yun gave such a comment.

I don't know if it's because of the demo version, but the pace of the game is surprisingly slow. The benefits obtained from fighting monsters and the effort put in are not directly proportional to the time. If you want to upgrade from level 1 to level 2, you can’t wait to kill 100 mobs. 10 minutes of experience time is enough to upgrade to level 1, and click the second skill.

No matter how exquisite the skill special effects are, no matter how cool the fighting scenes are, repeating them a hundred times is enough to make people uncomfortable.

When more than 80 miscellaneous soldiers were brushed, Hao Yun couldn't help but want to fast forward.

"It can only be said to be quite satisfactory."

Just finished the first mission in ten minutes.

After taking off the earphones, Hao Yun sighed.

Standing up, he gave up his seat to the players queuing up behind him, and squeezed out of the crowd.

He thought it was over, but just as he was about to leave here, a tall and thin man with glasses caught up to him.

The man looked very young, about twenty-five or sixteen, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He smiled with a hint of elegance, which well concealed the arrogance behind that smile.

"This gentleman, please wait a moment."

After being stopped by someone, Hao Yun looked back, met the man's gaze, and then saw the camera next to him, a hint of bewilderment immediately appeared on his face.

It turned out to be an interview...

Thinking that this fan recognized his identity, the smile on Zhou Zhenyu's face became brighter, and he spoke in a gentle voice.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Zhenyu, the manager and chief game designer of Sunbird Studio!"

"Hello," shook his outstretched hand. Although Hao Yun wondered why he had to stop him, he still politely said "nice to meet you".

"Yes sir, I just noticed you sighed after the trial."

Hearing this sentence, Hao Yun froze for a moment.

Fuck?

Did you see all this?

"...Uh, what's the problem?"

"Of course! As the designer of the Dragon King, I would like to know if there is anything in our game that is not good enough, or something that makes you unsatisfied." Zhou Zhenyu said with a smile on his face, showing an open-minded attitude to ask for advice. appearance.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Hao Yun caught a glimmer of expectation from his eyes?

In fact, his feeling was really accurate. When Zhou Zhenyu said this sentence, he really had a little expectation for the answer of good luck in his heart.

There is no other reason.

Since the booth just opened, the queue has started, no doubt they are die-hard fans!

What else can a "Sunbird" die-hard fan sigh for after the game is over?

It's nothing more than the trial time is too short to experience all of the game!

In fact it's part of the marketing, and it's the so-called hunger marketing!

This alone is not enough, he has to find a way to give the players a chance to show this hunger and thirst 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 fanaticism and love of "Ordinary Players" for "Dragon King".

However……

Hao Yun's answer was destined to disappoint him.

Seeing this guy asking for advice "sincerely and sincerely", Hao Yun was moved by this ingenuity to keep improving, and Hao Yun was embarrassed to keep it private, coughing lightly and said.

"Do you have to say it?"

"Of course! Please be sure to provide me with your valuable opinions! Your opinions will be a source of strength for us to forge ahead and go further in the game business! If you are willing to speak, we will provide you with a report on Dragon King Small gifts around here." Zhou Zhenyu said with a serious face and a urging tone.

"There is no need for gifts, then... I will just talk about it casually." Hao Yun smiled shyly and said, "The graphics and special effects are all excellent, there is nothing to say, if the score is above 8, I will just talk about it casually Let’s be specific and how to play.”

Hearing this sentence, Zhou Zhenyu was slightly taken aback, feeling a little bad in his heart for some reason.

Always felt……

The development of this conversation seems to be somewhat different from what I expected?

As if confirming his guess, Hao Yun cleared his throat and continued.

"First of all, the plot is too clichéd, but there is no flaw in the logic of the story, but I personally suggest that since revenge is the main line, don't pour too much ink into the side line, which will not only slow down the game rhythm, It also distracts the player's focus."

"Slow down... the pace of the game?" Unexpectedly, Hao Yunzhen started to find fault. Zhou Zhenyu looked dumbfounded and forgot how to refute for a while.

"That's right." Satisfied with this guy's humbly listening, Hao Yun nodded approvingly and continued, "For example, the fishing village... which is the novice village in the game. There is absolutely no need to write about the protagonist's childhood emotional experience. If If it must be added, why not just integrate this part of the plot into the opening animation or simply put it in the pv, and accelerate to the Five Elements Mountain apprenticeship environment? Don’t you think that even if this part of the plot is cut off, it will not have any impact? ?"

Zhou Zhenyu reflected this time.

Good guy!

It turned out that they were here to find fault!

"I don't agree with this point." Pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Zhou Zhenyu raised his chin slightly, and his tone gradually became arrogant, "The plot of the protagonist's childhood is to enrich the image of the character, and the plot of apprenticeship later To connect, and at the same time as a novice tutorial—”

"Even if it's a novice tutorial, it's too tortured to fight a hundred crabs in the novice village," Hao Yun said with a sigh, "I admit that for third-person ARPGs, brushing is indeed a popular way of playing. Collecting and developing elements can easily allow players to get pleasure from character growth and harvesting new equipment. But this element may not be suitable for the Dragon King who focuses on plot and action, and may even become a burden. To be honest, you really Have you ever played a game you designed yourself?"

"Maybe it's a personal feeling."

"No matter how cool the skill is, if I have to use it hundreds or even thousands of times on a group of NPCs who look the same in order to enter the next level...I'm afraid even if I like this game, I can't help but want to find it. Fast forward key."

The so-called fast forward button is naturally a modifier.

If it is said that slowing down the pace of the game and increasing the difficulty of the game is to prolong the player's game time, then modifiers are the most extreme and direct way for players to fight against producers.

He can squeeze out the entire game in the shortest time, destroying the value balance, making the game's growth and development elements useless, and allowing a player to quickly experience the two states from climax to sage time switch.

Leaving aside those games that sell DIY as their selling point, how many games are directly thrown into the library to eat ashes after using modifiers?

If you think this will not affect the sales of the game, it can only be said that it is too young.

It took about 10 minutes, Hao Yun did not hide it, and briefly sorted out his understanding of action-adventure games, and put forward some suggestions for improvement to Dragon King.

For example, if you are worried that players will be bored with the development elements in the game, you can set it as an open map for players to explore freely after the main line.

This is almost the standard configuration of action-adventure games after 2020 in the previous world. In order to sell 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 said similar things to Mr. Xu of Rice Entertainment, and he also added a buff of enlightenment status to him.

Unfortunately, this classmate Zhou Zhenyu didn't seem to be that smart anymore, he just looked at him in a daze, obviously not understanding what he was saying.

Hao Yun couldn't help feeling disappointed.

It seems that it is not so easy to get rewards from the prostitution system.

Sighing slightly, Hao Yun shook his head and said.

"...I'll just say so much, you can think about it yourself."

After speaking, he waved his hands, and under the bewildered gazes of Zhou Zhenyu and the photographer next to him, he turned around and left...
