The Millennium Semiconductor Survival Guide

Hua people are exceptionally talented in numbers, especially those related to money.

They can keenly capture the difference between prices, and dismiss the merchant's routine of 39.99. Isn't this 40?

Chinese people will never think that 39.99 yuan is 30 yuan.

At the same time, if you use NewPay to enjoy 20% off payment, they can quickly realize that if I take NewPay, the price is about 32 US dollars, plus users who register for NewPay with their mobile phone number for the first time can get 10 US dollars for free.

Then after the double discount, the price of "Plants vs. Zombies" is as low as $22, which is basically the same as "Angry Birds".

If I invite a few more people to register, not only will "Plants vs. Zombies" be given away for free, but I can even earn a fortune.

For this series of calculation activities, most Hua people who have experienced basic education can complete calculations in just a few seconds through their brains.

Some well-intentioned players even try to build a basic mathematical model in their brains to calculate the relationship between the average price, sales and NewPay users of "Plants vs. Zombies".

The official will announce the sales figures, and the average price can be obtained through a questionnaire survey to obtain a figure that is not bad, then the number of registered users of NewPay can also be rolled out.

In foreign countries, this is the job of financial analysts.

Rex is clearly not that price sensitive.

As a loyal user of the Riot community, he became famous in the entire forum after the counterattack against Yahoo plagiarism.

Rex was also the first to enter the pit of "Angry Birds". He is naturally looking forward to the game that is in the same line as "Angry Birds".

In the warm-up activities before the release, Rex completed the registration of NewPay early.

"21.99? Fist really has a conscience.

This price is not much higher than "Angry Birds". "

Users who use NewPay to purchase "Plants vs. Zombies" will be able to clearly see the settlement amount on the payment settlement page.

You don't need to complete this series of calculations in your brain, NewPay will tell you the price.

The price of $39.99 is neither expensive nor cheap. In this day and age, this is a reasonable price, and there is no special feature at all.

But at $21.99, it's an absolute bargain.

In an era when a large number of game publishers eat up a considerable portion of profits, the average price of a video game is around $50.

After seeing the price, Rex lowered his expectations for "Plants vs. Zombies". Price and quality are related.

Although the promotional video released by the fist game and the fist game itself are extremely confident, Rex believes that this is just a promotional method of the game manufacturer.

It's not uncommon in this day and age for game publishers to see the first game hit and the second hit the floor.

Considering the price, Rex thought, as long as the game quality is decent, he also has to help "Plants vs. Zombies" to clean up on the Riot Electronics community:

"It's only $22, what more bike do you need? The quality is far beyond this price."

But when he started the game, he couldn't stop it.

If it is changed to ten years later, this is a simple tower defense game, a tower defense game that wins with creativity.

But in 1999, when tower defense games were just beginning to sprout, "Plants vs. Zombies" exudes a charming atmosphere from level design to visual humor to sound effects.

Rex was almost completely immersed in the game world, and when he got up to go to the bathroom, four hours had passed.

"Oh! F**K! Is it already twelve o'clock?

What a game with unique magic! "

Although American leaves work on time at 5 o'clock and Rex arrives home at 5:30, it still takes a little time from when Riot opens the purchase link to downloading and installing the game.

After going to the bathroom and returning to the computer, he felt that he had a lot to say. After breaking away from the game, Rex opened the Riot Games forum and gave "Plants vs. Zombies" a five-star rating without hesitation.

"This is a game with both features and gameplay.

Riot Games has always had its own style. When other game manufacturers are pursuing authenticity and simulating the game screen to simulate the real world, Riot Games instead takes the colorful comic style as its own feature.

This also gives their games a unique sense of humor.

This sense of humor has been well reflected in Angry Birds. Whether it is the design of the red bird or the green pig, the expression and sound effects of the green pig when it is knocked down can make the player smile knowingly.

In "Plants vs. Zombies", Riot Games has strengthened their unique sense of humor again, through visual effects and music, so that even if you lose, you will not feel frustrated.

Traditional tower defense players only think about how to pass the level, and their nerves are always tense. "Plants vs. Zombies" is completely different. I care more about what plants I can collect in this round than the level itself.

What new types of zombies are there in this round of attack and defense?

And what plants can I gather for my Zen garden?

To put it simply, Riot Games develops its own unique characteristics, and at the same time combines a series of excellent ideas into a very attractive result, which is presented to the players.

In front of such a game, I don't want to talk too much about the details, I just want to say that it is definitely a game worth experiencing for all players! "

After writing the review, Rex glanced at the score, and the score of 9.8 ranked first, and then he thought about playing two more levels before going to sleep.

Rex's feelings are shared by many players. They may not have the ability to organize language to express their thoughts, but they will use their ratings to tell other players that "Plants vs. Zombies" is worth your try.

Unlike Riot Games, which had no foundation last summer, "Plants vs. Zombies" had natural flow guidance before it came out, and after it came out, it quickly got out of the circle with its own reputation.

After the release, the major traditional media reported one after another, and the upsurge caused by Plants vs. Zombies.

"On the eve of the coming of the 21st century, "Plants vs. Zombies" reminds you not to be eaten by zombies!"

"Online for seven days, sales exceeded one million, another masterpiece of the developer of the "Angry Birds" game!"

"Best of the year!"

"In this era when major game developers are obsessed with developing sequels, game developers who do not develop sequels have become anomalies"

If 1998 was the peak of video games and an unavoidable year, then 1999 was a lackluster year.

In this year, apart from Namco's Soulblade, there was no game that could be praised by players, and Nintendo and Sony were even more frantic.

It was also because of the crazy speculation of Nintendo and Sony after 1998 that the Xbox became a success after its release.

I couldn't sleep last night and got up and wanted to write, but there was lightning and thunder and a power outage.

It's not that I'm lazy!
