Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

After pokeni's new game came out this time, word-of-mouth was severely polarized. People who liked it liked it very much, and those who didn't liked it also disliked it very much.

Especially in the game, the setting of the white race and the performance of the 86ers have become the biggest points of controversy.

In the following time, the discussion on the Internet became more and more intense.

The sales of the game were naturally affected by word of mouth, resulting in total sales of only 100,000 copies in the first week.

If this trend continues, the game "86 - The Non-Existent War Zone" may not become a million-level masterpiece.

It is very likely that the final sales result will be fixed at 500,000 copies.

A large part of this was influenced by Gu Yuan Chunqiu's aura.

However, it can be said that the success is also Guyuan Chunqiu, and the failure is also Guyuan Chunqiu.

Having the name of Gu Yuan as a supervisor has attracted a lot of players, but many of these players are galgame players. After all, the name of the old thief Gu Yuan is quite famous in the gal game field. On gal game, Gu Yuan Chunqiu is a god. .

However, there is actually not much overlap with players of war chess games.

There are also many pure war chess game players who are still a little dissatisfied with Furuhara Chunqiu after playing the game "86 - The Non-Existent War Zone".

Because a very important point in the war chess game is [development]

Of course, there is also a special development mode in 86, and even in terms of numerical settings, the design of both the mecha and the driver is quite eye-catching, which makes many war chess players feel extremely pleased.

However, as the game entered the second half, the pilots he had worked so hard to train and the upgraded mechas were destroyed one by one...

Such behavior can be said to be a taboo that offends the war chess players.

Many players have said -

"Obviously Gu Yuan Chunqiu has the ability to make war chess games well, but he has to lose the fun of development for the sake of the plot. This is simply a heinous crime.

Go to hell with the white-skinned pigs. "

"That's right, shouldn't it be my pleasure to cultivate who I like and who I want to cultivate? I finally cultivated a Kaye, but Kaye died.

Kujo is also dead, so what else can I use to attack from the front row? "

"To be honest, in the end I didn't know who to train, so I could only give all the resources to the male protagonist, because at least the male protagonist was guaranteed, and the other characters were just playing Russian roulette. You can never You know who's going to take the shot next."

“It’s so hateful, Gu Yuan Chunqiu.

Are you going to say that he doesn’t understand war chess games at all?

However, whether it is in terms of game performance, character values, or mecha settings, it is very interesting. The fit is really eye-catching.

It's more fun and richer than Fire Emblem plus Super Robot Wars can provide.

And because of the 86 setting, there are more ways to play in the game and the team composition is richer.

Sometimes switching drivers can produce unexpected strategic effects.

To be honest, until the characters started to die, when I was the first to collect 24 characters, the sense of accomplishment and excitement was really overwhelming.

However, who would have thought that it would take a turn for the worse from then on, killing the game characters one by one.

Although I also understand that it is to show the cruelty of war, but it is really unfriendly to players of war chess games.

You have to say that the old thief Gu Yuan understands the game of war chess, but it is really inappropriate to make such a mistake again.

I can’t even figure out whether Gu Yuan Chunqiu can play war chess or not. Is he a war chess player himself? "

"Characters in war chess games can die, but please don't die so often, don't die so much, okay?"

"I have never played pokeni games before, but I have heard about the legend of Furuhara Chunqiu. This guy is a ruthless and ruthless demon who kills without blinking an eye.

This time I really experienced it. "

…

In fact, Qing Zhiyuan's decision to turn 86 into a war chess game was the result of careful consideration.

First of all, 86 itself is a war-themed cartoon. The war type can be made into either an action game, an RTS or a war chess game.

Because it is filled with a large number of characters, there are as many as 9 important members of the protagonist group alone.

Including Lena, there are 10 people in total.

Making it a turn-based game or an action game cannot actually reflect the value of teammates and allow players to clearly recognize each individual.

Then you don't feel the character's arc when they die.

It’s also impossible to empathize with the characters.

Unless this kind of animation is made into a pure electronic novel galgame, a war chess game is the only option.

War chess games are the most suitable type of game to tell about multiple characters, especially more than 10 characters.

In Fire Emblem, more than 40 different characters can even be displayed, and they can be displayed very completely. Players’ sources of information about the characters are avatars, portraits, and their interactions in the game. Dialogue, respective plot lines, character relationships, etc...

Only war games can do this.

Therefore, it is a sure thing that 86 will be made into a war chess game.

This contradiction does exist. 86 is a very cruel animation. The characters in it appear just to rush to the end of death. It will definitely be very unfriendly to players of the cultivation system.

However, in the end, the decision made by Qing Zhiyuan still prioritized the plot, the characters and the overall world view.

If there were any mistakes——

Probably because they couldn't make the second part and release it together.

…

For players who like galgame very much, especially fans of Gu Yuan Chunqiu, the war chess game has been screened again, allowing some people who only like galgame but not war chess games to wait and see for a while, but they failed. Get started.

In other words, after the game "86 - The Non-Existent War Zone" appeared, it offended both those who played war chess and those who did not play war chess.

Most of the remaining players are players who like both war games and galgames.

About half of them were affected by Gu Yuan Chunqiu's aura.

In short, because of the huge controversy and the anger of pure war chess players, the sales volume of the game can only reach this level.

There is a high probability that it will be 500,000 copies.

Maybe for other game companies, this result is quite good, but——

This is pokeni!

This is Gu Yuan Chunqiu!

For Furuhara Chunqiu, this result is definitely unqualified. Players have strong expectations for him, but the result turned out to be like this. It is probably hard to believe it.

"It's over, it's over, Gu Yuan Chunqiu is going to fall off the altar."

"It's very possible. Sure enough, what the old thief Gu Yuan is good at is the galgame part. After stepping out of his comfort zone, things like this will easily happen."

"Tsubaki Furuhara, Mika Ishino, and Jun Asae can be said to be the Triangle of Gods, but they didn't expect that they could only achieve this result in the end. Will they reflect on it?"

"Let's see what happens in the future. In fact, I still hope that Gu Yuan Chunqiu will be a galgame. He is really a god in the field of galgame."

…

It's over, it's over.

In the office of the president of Dongrun Group, Hiroyuki Hattori sighed repeatedly.

Secretary Fujiki next to him clasped his hands on his chest and silently looked at the president's expression. Seeing his frown and anxious look, he couldn't help but said in relief, "Could it be that the time hasn't come yet? It seemed like that before. Similar situations have occurred.

Just wait a little longer. Maybe as word of mouth continues to grow, the effect will be better? "

Hattori Hiroyuki sat on the chair with a dazed expression and dull eyes.

After a long while, he waved his hand and said, "You don't have to comfort me. The sales volume in the first week after the game is released is the most important. Since there are only 100,000 copies in the first week, it won't be much better in the future.

Moreover, if word-of-mouth really builds up, then forget it. Now I see that a lot of people on the Internet are criticizing pokeni. "

Although Hiroyuki Hattori doesn't play P Club's games, he still cares about related news and news.

It's hard not to care, after all, the money is ultimately in his hands.

When dealers get goods from P Company, it is equivalent to giving money to P Company. The remaining sales volume is actually closely related to the dealers.

After the inventory is cleared, I will contact pokeni to get the goods.

But the problem is——

As it is now, Hattori Hiroyuki is very worried, and the inventory was not emptied until the end.

You know, out of trust in Qing Zhiyuan, Hattori Hiroyuki delivered 200,000 game discs in one go.

If you want to clear so many games, it is an impossible task no matter how you look at it.

Damn it, damn it.

"President, don't worry too much. Let's take a look after some time." Secretary Fujiki comforted.

In fact, for Hiroyuki Hattori, the part that was not sold was not that distressing. Maybe it was about 50,000 that could not be cleared in the end.

Moreover, he has been in business for so many years, and it is very common for games to be unsalable. At worst, he will sell them at a loss.

However, what really surprised and even horrified him was——

Oh my God!

It turns out that this world is really dominated by trash cans!

He still remembers the night he met Qing Zhiyuan. Because he drank a little too much and the wind was blowing, he lost his accuracy and threw the CD outside the trash can.

I picked it up later and threw it in the second time.

Now it seems that everything has been predestined for a long time.

He is worthy of being the god of trash cans.

If it wasn't thrown in, would the consequences be so serious?

This is what scares Hattori Hiroyuki.

"Fujiki, do you believe there is a god in this world who can dominate game sales?" Hiroyuki Hattori asked.

Seeing the pious look on the president's face, Fujiki was stunned for a moment.

"I believe it, President, didn't it say there are 800 gods?

There is a toilet god even when I go to the toilet, let alone the god of games? "

"Uh-huh."

Hattori Hiroyuki nodded in agreement.

However, he originally wanted to continue saying something, but in the end he suppressed his inner impulse.

Hattori Hiroyuki felt terrified when he thought that he held the biggest secret in the entire world and controlled the lifeblood of the game.

It's all my fault that I was too frivolous to get out of the car and respectfully throw the game disc in, which led to the failure of sales this time.

To some extent, Hattori Hiroyuki still feels a little guilty towards Qing Zhiyuan.

The most important thing is that he felt distressed when he thought about losing hundreds of millions because he failed to throw the game disc into the trash can.

According to the normal sales volume of P Club, if this game can sell for 4 or 5 million, then it will not only be a matter of clearing the stock, but also replenishing the stock.

I made a lot less money all of a sudden.

As a human being,

Why do you have to struggle with money?

…

"Huh? Did Gu Yuan Chunqiu actually fall off the altar?"

After seeing the controversy on the Internet about P Club's new game "86 - The Non-Existent War Zone" and the almost unsatisfactory market sales, Masato Hiruda of Elf Club couldn't help but sigh.

You must know that before 86, Gu Yuan Chunqiu was simply the god of games, winning every battle, and each game was better than the next.

Even if the sales volume does not reach the million level, the games produced by Furuhara Chunqiu have always had a very high reputation.

It was once held up to the altar by players.

Why did it fall down now?

And the fall was so painful and miserable?

Is this still the Gu Yuan Chunqiu I know?

To be honest, if you don’t read the comments on the Internet, Hiruda Masato himself quite likes 86. At least the game’s style, narrative, and animation are all very good.

However, as players have said, the plot is controversial, and the game is not friendly enough to pure war chess players.

When you compare it to last year's Fire Emblem: Genealogy, you're bound to run into trouble.

"Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War" is such a great game. This game is almost equivalent to the ceiling among war chess games.

The game not only has the most comprehensive chess and war mechanism on the market, but also has made huge innovations in development——

It can cultivate goodwill between team members and give birth to children later.

As a heraldic work that was born in the next era and is under strong pressure from newer models and higher-performance games, the creativity that emerges in "Genealogy of the Holy War" is amazing.

In the previous game, there was only one type of knight profession, but in the new game, several different types of knight professions are derived based on the knight system of the European Middle Ages;

A large number of new elements such as a wide variety of personal stunts and weapon compatibility, command, and professional numerical upper limits have been added;

In particular, the plot settings that span the upper and lower generations have made the newly designed love cultivation system that can be controlled by the player, couple combinations, inheritance of stunts by offspring, and special plot elements become the motivation for many players to enjoy the game;

In the game, if you train different couples, the children born from them will inherit different skills and attributes. It is for this reason that countless players enjoy this game endlessly, playing Jihad Genealogy over and over again, just to be able to Cultivate a better next generation of protagonists.

The game plot is completely immersed in the inspiration and creativity of Kaga-style drama.

In the first half, the protagonist Singer is invincible on the battlefield, but he cannot resist the grinding of the gears of fate and becomes a victim of the unified empire. The tragic ending is far superior to the "Royal Knights" that has been praised by many professional players in terms of artistic quality. Any sensational expression in it.

Producer Kaga Shozo's preference for the neon historical figure Akechi Mitsuhide also allows him to easily create Alves, a Zetsu who is both good and evil, and has an outstanding personality.

If it weren't for the slightly pale and cliched second half of "The Revenge of the Prince" and the anticlimactic "The Mystery of the Twelve Demon Generals", it can be said that the achievement of the Jihad Genealogy script is completely enough to surpass any other film in the same period that uses tragedy as a selling point to gain audiences. On top of the literary and artistic works of tears.

The anticlimactic plot in the second half was due to the long development cycle of Genealogy, which caused Nintendo headquarters to question and dissatisfy the development of IS. In the end, Yokoi Gunpei directly took over the game development as the person in charge and carried out drastic "reforms". (Yes, this Yokoi Gunpei is the one who resigned not long ago.)

Turning a work that could have reached its peak into a semi-finished product has to be said to be a great regret for Fire Emblem.

The contradiction between the expression of the talent of game producers and the pursuit of profit maximization by game companies is the root of the tragedy of the genealogy.

This game also became the trigger of conflicts between producer Kaga Shozo and Nintendo.

"As expected, Mr. Furuhara, is he still more suitable for galgames?" Masato Hirudian thought.

Why! Float, float, float.

Hirudian Masato quickly pulled his thoughts back. Even if he only achieved 500,000 sales, it was a waterloo for Furuhara Chunqiu, but for the Elf Club, this was almost the ceiling.

Who am I to judge others?

It’s better to just finish the game honestly.

…

At the same time, in Rentian Heaven.

Hiroshi Yamauchi and Shigeru Miyamoto were very happy after hearing the news of the 86 Waterloo.

"Sure enough, Gu Yuan Chunqiu is still an amateur at war chess games.

It's a pity that P company's technology was wasted. "Miyamoto Shigeru sighed.

Hiroshi Yamauchi was quite happy when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard "P Company's technology was wasted", he still couldn't help but frown.

However, he was in a good mood today, and he was happy to see Gu Yuan Chunqiu fall to the altar.

"Not everyone is an all-rounder. Who can guarantee that the games we make in the future will be successful?" Hiroshi Yamauchi smiled.

Furuhara Chunqiu is certainly talented, but now it seems that he is only focused on the galgame aspect.

…

Tokyo.

Ginza.

pokeni co., ltd.

President's office.

"President, I don't dare."

Ishino Mika waved her hands repeatedly.

Not long after the 86 game was released, the president actually asked me to create a sequel.

"The problem is, 86 Games is so controversial, and many players on the Internet are still arguing about it. Is it really appropriate to develop a sequel?"

Ishino Mika asked weakly, taking courage.

She didn’t even dare to say how many games the game had sold.

"Do it, we must do it!" Qing Zhiyuan said, "If we don't do it, what can we do to restore our honor? And sales!"

He placed the plan he had written in front of Ishino Mika.

86 The first part is just an introduction, the real highlight is yet to come.

But without this second part, even if he really jumped into the Yellow River, it would not be clear. From now on, Gu Yuan Chunqiu's career would have a small flaw.

…

Just after reading the first few pages, Ishino's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Huh? So the 5-person group is not dead?"

Then I will have confidence.

Otherwise, the blade will be closed too much this time.

"President, it seems that Teacher Furuhara Chunqiu has figured it out."

Moreover, the pain points that players complained about before have been solved, and the protagonist group in the game is gradually growing, and no one has died.

very good.

The value of cultivation is also there.

Awesome.

Every character is outstanding.

And the subsequent war has begun, with various crises about to break out and constant twists and turns. It's awesome!

"It is indeed the work of Teacher Furuhara."

Who knows, after reading the plan, Ishino Mika's expression became even more frightened.

"President, can I not accept this game? I'm afraid of being hacked to death by the players."

Isn’t this big twist in the ending too scary?

"What do you think?" Qing Zhiyuan turned his head silently, looked at her with cold eyes, and sneered twice.

Ishino Mika felt a chill in her heart.
