An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 346

Millions of plays.

Hao Yun wouldn't believe anything he said if no one was behind the scenes to fuel the flames.

He was going to sleep, but Hao Yun, who was overwhelmed by this video, got up from the bed again.

I wanted to call Xu Qianshi to ask what was going on, but Hao Yun thought about it, even if he made this call, he would not admit whether the other party knew about it or not, even if he knew about it.

Thinking of this, Hao Yun gave up the idea of ​​calling Xu Qianshi to question him. Instead, he got up and went to the study, turned on the computer and logged into the e-interest platform.

Generally speaking, although there are differences of opinions within Rice Entertainment regarding this work created in cooperation with Yunmeng Games, there are still a lot of promotional resources for this game.

Hao Yun easily found the promotion link of "Operation Counter-Terrorism: Siege" in the recommended position of the banner on the store's homepage.

Judging from the data on the download page, it has been 48 hours since the game was launched and the sales volume is 670,000 copies. According to the price of 133 yuan, this game brought more than 80 million yuan in revenue to Rice Entertainment in just three days.

For a shooting game, this first-day sales data is still good, but in stark contrast, the game's favorable rate is only a poor 62%.

This data is equivalent to just passing the passing line.

Hao Yun glanced at the game's review page, and found that many of the players in it were fans who had bought "Operation Counter-Terrorism". However, judging from the evaluations of these fans, they did not buy this modified game.

【This is the worst shooting game I have played this year. 】

[If the problem of wearing the model BUG is not resolved, the bad reviews will never be changed. 】

[From entering the game to starting the game, all UI designs give people a strong sense of cheap web games. If it's just that the budget for UI design is insufficient, it's fine, but the most unbearable thing is the shoddy gun model. I can feel that the production team has put a lot of effort into the creativity, but I have not seen any sincerity beyond that! 】

[To be reasonable, the innovative siege gameplay is really attractive, but after downloading the game and entering the game, you will find that the game you play is completely different from what the developer advertised! 】

[The five-year-old player expressed disappointment. 】

[Garbage game, has been refunded, dogs don't play it! 】

"Damn it, this is really under siege."

Looking at the overwhelming negative comments, Hao Yun bit his tongue in surprise.

It's a good thing that this game is not made by myself, otherwise it would not pay for death? Don't look at the outrageously high sales on the first day and poor word of mouth. In the end, there will always be players who don't have enough time for 2 hours to order a refund.

According to Xia Guo's law, video games are sold through online channels, and any one of them can be satisfied within 72 hours of payment time and 2 hours of game time, and no reason can be refunded.

According to the favorable rate of 62%, half of the sales of 670,000 copies can be left in the end, which is supported by the feelings of old players.

"What kind of thing did this come out to be sprayed like this?"

Out of curiosity, Hao Yun clicked to buy on the spot, waited for the download to complete, and then entered the game.

According to the management of Xia Guo's game industry, the newly downloaded game will have a CG animation at the beginning. This animation can be original, or it can be deducted from the promotional CG, but basically there will be a slightly larger production.

This has almost become the standard for judging whether the investment amount of a game is above 10 million or below 10 million.

However, this "Operation Counter-Terrorism: Siege" is different.

The opening of the game was directly taken by Zhang CG, and when entering the game menu page, this CG brazenly became the background of the menu interface.

Even Hao Yun was dumbfounded.

"This... is too cheap."

It's not scientific.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for rice entertainment to be short of money.

What's more, when Xu Qianshi and him drew a cake, they planned to make this game a benchmark for domestic shooting games. The budget started at 10 million, and there was no upper limit.

However, for the game he saw now, let alone a development budget of 10 million, there was a question mark as to whether it would have 5 million.

Ignoring the simple UI design, Hao Yun probably experienced the content of the game, and found that the problem was far more serious than he imagined.

First of all, the nurturing elements discussed by myself and Zhang Ding at that time were directly cut off.

According to his original idea, players can choose agents to participate in the game on the preparation page, and upgrade the agents outside the game, and unlock more weapons and equipment and exclusive skills through experience and in-game currency.

These exclusive skills include but are not limited to skills such as "moving speed increase", "battlefield first aid", "use door breaker", and technology categories such as "release drone", "invasion camera", etc.

However, now, these elements have been integrated into the game store and become special props that need to be equipped during the preparation stage, rather than the exclusive weapons of the characters.

On the surface, there seems to be no difference, and the gameplay is still the same. However, the nurturing elements have become pure krypton gold props, which not only directly reduces the playability of the entire game by half, but also completely destroys the competitiveness and faction balance.

Originally, a level 30 agent was matched with a full-level robber, and the exclusive skills and special tools used by both parties were basically unlocked at level 30. However, now they can be used as long as they are purchased in the mall, so even new players are very likely to In the game, he was shot black by the attack drone that was originally set to be unlocked at level 30.

Leaving aside those shoddy models and all kinds of model-wearing bugs, this alone is enough to ruin Mr. Xu's e-sports dream in this game.

After all, the competitive atmosphere of a game cannot be cultivated by spending money on two games.

"It shouldn't be, my plan is so clearly written, how could it be made like this."

After thinking for a long time, Hao Yun finally took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhang Ding's number.

Zhang Ding, who received the call, was sitting in the bar drinking away his worries. When he saw the caller's name, he woke up a little bit, got up to check out and went outside the bar, and then pressed the connect button.

"Hello? Mr. Hao, what's the matter? I'm calling at such a late hour."

"I just downloaded "Counter-Terrorist Action: Siege","

As if guessing what Hao Yun would say, Zhang Ding said with a sigh.

"Hey, don't mention it...it's weird that it's not cool like this! I told the ALX production team at the time, but no one listened to me from the person in charge to the grassroots artists. I went to find the product Wang Fa, the person in charge of the department, but the other party didn’t even bother to meet me. The budget is also the same. The development budget allocated at the beginning was 50 million, but I heard later that half of it was moved to the project that Rice Entertainment is developing. Another game is up."

"Another game?" Hao Yunchi asked.

Zhang Ding said.

"Well, another game, the name seems to be Chenghai Alliance...I only heard about it recently."

Chenghai Alliance?

Hearing this name, Hao Yun almost choked on his own spit.

"This Chenghai... I don't get it wrong, is it the World of Warcraft map on the popularity list of the creative workshop?"

Zhang Ding froze for a moment, then shook his head.

"I don't know the specifics. I only heard that it seems to be a three-corridor game controlled by multiple heroes."

Good guy.

This edge ball is a bit coquettish.

Warcraft must not be surpassed, so find another way to start with things that Warcraft players are interested in. It's just that this has not been authorized by Yunmeng Group, nor by the map maker "hao12345". Don't you worry about legal disputes when this thing is developed?

Hao Yun couldn't understand what was going on with Rice Entertainment. And whether Xu Qianshi came up with this bad idea, or the people below him came up with it themselves.

"You haven't contacted Mr. Xu?"

"I can't even see the manager of the product department, how can I see Mr. Xu," Zhang Ding said with a wry smile, "Now ALX is planning to throw the blame on me, and the operation department of Rice Entertainment is also suggesting that I let myself Of course I didn't agree to take the blame, and they didn't give me a good face these two days... Mr. Hao, the game is also on the shelves now, can I come back?"

Hao Yun sighed.

"I see...you pack up your things tomorrow and withdraw from Rice Entertainment."
