Game Entertainment Empire

On the day when the game was released for the first time, apart from ordinary players like Jiang Chu, all the anchors on the major live broadcast platforms were live broadcasting "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

Similarly, in addition to the live broadcast of Yang Chen's "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", Phoenix Games' "King's Sword" has been widely publicized in the early stage, and many anchors are still live broadcasting.

After all, the choice of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" or "King's Sword" is the most popular choice. As for the price factor that ordinary players care about, it is the least important issue for the anchor.

However, just like Jiang Chu, including the anchor and most of the players, they all made a very serious mistake.

That is because he killed the chick in Ximu Town, and was wanted by the guards in Ximu Town.

There was wailing in the forum community.

"My god, I killed a chicken at the beginning, and the people in Ximu Town stared at me and killed it! I was so drunk!"

"Stop it, that soldier from Ximu Town, just wait for me, I'll come back and kill you when I wear a magic costume! If you choose to accept bribes, if you don't have enough money, just say it's not enough, and in the end, the money on me is not enough. Take it away, and arrest me!"

"Don't choose to go to jail! Don't choose to go to prison! If you want to lose experience points and skill levels, kill a large number of wolves in the wild and kill them to level 5 before going to Ximu Town. Stripped off, the skill level has dropped."

"Hey, you guys are still killing chickens in Ximu Town. I even went to Solitary City to join the empire!"

"Coincidentally, I also joined the Stormcloak."

"It means that we have already arrived in Xueman City. The scenery is so beautiful that it makes me cry."

"Haha, I also didn't go to Ximu Town, just wandered around. I met a sunken ship on the way and rescued a bard. I gave me a book that introduced the background of the game, and there are many such things in the game. Books, I plan to look for these books as a favorite."

"Speechless, I slowly looked for opportunities to kill the NPCs in Ximu Town, and then directly judged that my mission failed."

"+1, the task NPC was killed by me, so I can only load the file."

Countless players have posted their own game experiences on the community platform, especially after players discovered that instead of following the main line given at the beginning to go to Ximu Town to complete the mission, they can go to other places, and even take your The task NPC to get rid of,

Don't worry about the so-called main game missions at all.

There has never been such an experience in a game before, as if the whole person is really adventuring in a different world, you must accept the so-called rules, and you can do it according to your true ideas.

Compared with the feelings that "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" brings to players, "King's Sword" on Phoenix's side is not inferior at all. The huge and magnificent battle scenes in the early stage of the game make people excited.

Although Yang Chen didn't pay too much attention to "King's Sword" during the publicity before, but after the other party's game was actually released, he bought the other party's game immediately and played the game experience.

Excellent picture performance, optimization is also very good, and at the same time, it is good enough to combat sentimentality, just like the shocking scene of Alduin's attack at the beginning of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", and the first sight of the sky after leaving Helgen Fortress Shock to the world.

Phoenix Games' "King's Sword" is obviously well versed in this, and the opening chapter allows players to experience a magnificent war scene.

"The quality of the game is pretty good, but there hasn't been much innovation in the way the game is played." Yang Chen made a judgment in his heart.

The magnificent war experience at the beginning really made people excited, even Yang Chen had to admit that at that time he also felt that this would be a very awesome game.

But soon the rhythm of the game changed, or the layout became a little smaller.

As a subjugated prince, he needs to go on an adventure to find the old ministry and regain the throne.

This is the main story that was put on the bright side, but when playing the game, it was completely the kind of small talk. Yang Chen, who had played the trial for a whole afternoon and cleared the second chapter, silently told the story "King's Sword" was withdrawn.

It's a decent AAA game, but it's far from groundbreaking, even if it's got a lot going for it.

But it has natural flaws, especially when this game is facing "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", Yang Chen, who has known the content of the two games, has enough confidence to say such a sentence.

Although Yang Chen has no experience with the follow-up content, and he doesn't know if there will be any major changes, but judging from the current few hours of game experience.

"King Sword" is not enough to worry about.

When Yang Chen was full of confidence, Ye Fa in the Phoenix game also tried "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

He simply played for half an hour, killed the chicken in Ximu Town, and was hacked to death by the villagers and guards, and he had already quit the game.

Looking at the comments on the Internet, Ye Fa couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

degrees of freedom?

It is not easy to let players feel enough freedom in RPG, and it is not a good thing.

Freedom means that the plot may be split.

And the player does not have an accurate goal in the game, maybe it will be very interesting at the beginning, but what about after an hour or two?

It becomes boring because you don't know what to do.

At this time, players will choose to perform tasks, but in order to create a banner of freedom for players, the continuity of tasks is separated, which greatly reduces the sense of substitution.

Such a game experience is definitely not that good.

At the beginning, Ye Fa also thought about a liberalized task structure in "Sword of the King", but he gave up in the end.

As for killing NPCs and then canceling the mission if it fails, is this considered freedom?

In Ye Fa's view, this is purely for the sake of freedom. The main mission is cut off, so what about the follow-up?

How should you proceed? It is nothing more than going to the next task NPC point, and then continue to pick up the task.

But this kind of abruptness and unreasonableness will definitely make players play.

Of course, there is no way, that is to use a large number of similar side plots to guide players, so that the game's plot and tasks, including details, are more perfect.

But this is definitely a big project, and the cost is absolutely terrifying.

Does "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" do this?

In Ye Fa's opinion, this is simply impossible, otherwise how could it be possible to sell it for 198 yuan?

Looking at the feedback from the players of "King's Sword" and the latest sales, Ye Fa showed a very confident smile.

Steady!
