The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 292 289. Overwhelming victory

  "World of Warcraft" began to be released in June. By August, the number of global users has reached 10 million registered, and the highest peak is 1 million online at the same time.

  And such a [ugly] game has created a miracle in the online game industry.

  In just two months, the income brought to Bomi was as high as 1 billion soft sister coins.

  This is simply a gold-sucking weapon, which has made countless people in the industry coveted.

  Who would have thought that such a game could be so popular on a global scale?

  And according to the current income of Bomi, there is a trend of continuous increase. The income of a World of Warcraft in 2 months has already caught up with the previous masterpieces such as Shanhaijing. How could it not be jealous.

  Everyone at Xishanju felt a pain in their cheeks. If they said that they did not perform well two months ago, it seemed like they were still yesterday.

  Bomi responded with a strong result now.

  Where can the faces of Xishanju's people put their faces?

"Mom, who can think of it?" Mei Rao Lin, the master of Jian.net 3, covered her face. She was a bit angry and toothache these days. "When I first saw the style of World of Warcraft, who would have thought that the players would actually Can accept such an ugly character image, what tauren, dwarf, no one thinks it can be substituted?

  It actually sold so well later, mainly because of the well-designed story and gameplay of Warcraft itself, right? "

In fact, Rao Rin’s judgment cannot be said to be wrong, because aesthetics is something that is felt by a group, so there is a distinction between mainstream aesthetics and non-mainstream aesthetics. Human beings are engraved in their genes to like handsome men and beautiful women, and they like skin. Beautiful white woman with big eyes, handsome man with eight pack abs...

  So such an ugly character image in World of Warcraft is theoretically non-mainstream, but non-mainstream can still occupy the market and achieve success, not because the game itself is well done, but what else can it be?

   "Yes, I can only say that the gameplay of World of Warcraft is really amazing." said Qiu Xin, head of the game department of Xishanju.

  Because no one can find other reasons.

  ...

  Compared with the popularity of World of Warcraft, Blizzard’s new online game looks a bit bleak.

   Blizzard’s new online game Diablo online, which took two and a half years to produce, and went live on July 1, one month after World of Warcraft went live.

  Originally, at the E3 exhibition, Blizzard showed you this game. At that time, everyone was very optimistic about them, especially for the Blizzard brand, many people expressed their expectations.

  As a result, now that Bomi's "World of Warcraft" was released, countless players fell into madness.

What’s more frightening is that no one thinks that this game can’t represent Blizzard, or that the game team of Bomi Country is part of Blizzard. The World of Warcraft they made makes you feel the soul of Warcraft, which is the original one. kind…

  So after the success of World of Warcraft, everyone is full of expectations for the current Blizzard team, and want to see if Blizzard can make a classic that surpasses World of Warcraft.

  ...

  William is a loyal Blizzard fan. He has been playing this game since the first generation of Diablo, and he also plays Warcraft.

   So when Bomi released World of Warcraft in June, although I was a bit entangled in whether to play it or not, after all, it was a game made by Chinese people. When I think about it, I feel that the game in this country is particularly backward.

  But after thinking about it carefully, William still tried to play World of Warcraft.

  It’s not because of anything else. The main reason is that the production team of World of Warcraft is at least the original Blizzard North team. Aside from the gold masters behind, you can actually trust the production level of the Blizzard North team.

  In fact, this game did not disappoint William.

It is in the same line with Warcraft, and the world view and details have been improved. The characters and stories that Warcraft did not tell clearly in the beginning have been explained clearly in World of Warcraft, and they have been expanded infinitely, allowing William to see such a real thing. World of Warcraft.

  As if he is really a tauren warrior of a tribe, riding a Kodo on the grassland.

And this game’s good network conditions and uniquely styled copies make William deeply addicted to it. When you are in the copy, facing a huge BOSS, when you stand on Thunder Bluff and look into the distance. Clouds, when you are above the Thousand Needles Forest overlooking the scenery below...

  All this brings you endless shock. In an online game, it is really rare to be able to do this.

  Now William will be online at 7 o'clock every evening, go to the copy with his friends, and spend one to two hours roaming the Azeroth continent every day, which has become his daily life and fun.

  On this day of July 1, when William heard that Blizzard was going to release Diablo online, William was very excited.

  In his heart, William faintly expects that this game can give him more updated experience, and also hopes that this game can defeat World of Warcraft and rectify the name of the Blizzard team.

Although World of Warcraft was also developed by the original Blizzard team, William still feels uncomfortable thinking of the Chinese behind it. He hopes that the current Blizzard team can bring them better games, and that Diablo Online can overcome it. World of Warcraft.

  On July 1, William downloaded the game client early and waited in front of the computer to start the server.

  At 12 noon, Diablo online opened its service on time.

  William immediately entered the game.

  A bright light lit up on the computer screen.

   "Blizzard"

  Blizzard’s big logo appeared on the screen.

  William was a little excited.

  When I saw this logo, I felt my blood boil and I felt an urge to cry.

   "Fak! I have waited for two years, and finally waited until this day."

  The screen went black, and the opening CG of the game began to play:

  In the middle of the valley where lava is piled up, a closed stone gate is embedded in it, and the music in the gap behind the gate reveals a fiery red light.

  And the very center of this door is carved with an image most familiar to players:

  A demon head with horns.

  Both eyes are hollow, and his mouth is open, as if to swallow everything.

   Immediately afterwards, a hand suddenly pressed on it and pushed hard.

  The whole door opened suddenly.

  On the screen, a row of words appeared:

  DiabloOnline

  The front intro animation on the big screen finished playing, and the audience immediately saw the part of mmo:

  The first appearance is the display image of each character.

  This time Blizzard did a total of seven different professions:

  Barbarians, witch hunters, necromancers, witch doctors, magicians, monks, priests...

  Monk, Holy Order Army, and Demon Hunter are relatively new professions, and the others are not unfamiliar to William.

  The barbarian wielded a giant axe and smashed a group of skeleton soldiers to pieces.

  The witcher shoots quickly, launching dazzling special effects arrows...

  William opened his mouth slightly and laughed silently.

  Sure enough, Blizzard’s style of painting is exquisite. The opening scene is really very careful. Whether it is the color of the screen or the image of the characters, it is a lot better than World of Warcraft.

  The opening CG is about 1 minute.

  Finally stayed on the last frame where the seven major professions rushed to the huge Diablo that climbed out of the magma.

  The screen suddenly went black, followed by a row of large characters:

  【DiabloOnline】

  ...

  William moved his wrists, squeezed the knuckles of his hands and creaked, ready to show his fists.

  After the opening CG, I came to the career selection interface.

  William thought for a while, because he was used to using tauren warriors in World of Warcraft, so he chose the barbarian first.

  After entering the game, it is a hill with a cold painting style...

  A faint blue light was faintly visible in the distance, a tomb in front of it, and a road blocked by an iron fence.

  Following the trail, William manipulates the barbarian, and by the way, he familiarizes himself with the basic operations according to the instructions of the game.

  He frowned and found that these seemed to be similar to Diablo 2, but the style was more delicate and the picture quality was better.

  Just as he was about to pick up the mission, he saw other barbarians players who had just entered the server.

  The initial image of everyone is similar, with two shirtless arms, strong muscles, wearing a large leather pants, and carrying a steel axe in their hands.

  It’s just...

  William frowned, why is the number of players so small?

  Maybe it’s not that the number of players in Diablo online is small, but compared to the number of players on the same screen in World of Warcraft, the number of other players around is too small.

  ...

  Follow the task guide step by step, and it took about 4 hours to play.

  William's hands left the keyboard silently, and he sat on the seat with his hands in a deep thought, his brows frowned, and Yuepin felt more and more problematic in his heart.

  This game, to be honest, in terms of style and quality, it is definitely better than World of Warcraft.

But…

  When you play, you will find that the details and richness of the gameplay are far inferior to World of Warcraft, and the old Diablo set is still going—

   Fight monsters, drop equipment, get better equipment and continue to fight stronger monsters.

  Although the core of World of Warcraft is also equipment and monsters, a lot of rich content has been made on this basis, such as finding people, finding supplies, escorting, helping others, running errands, collecting drugs...

  There are a lot of life skills and supporting tasks waiting for you to complete.

  Different races have their own characteristics, and their professional and racial differences also make you think this game is very rich.

  But Diablo online is not like that. Although there are many occupations, there are no corresponding deputy positions. It is difficult for you to play interesting parts.

  4 hours, in fact, there is a lot of experience. His barbarian has been upgraded from level 1 to level 14, and he can already go to a copy in World of Warcraft.

  But so far, he hasn't seen any tasks that need to be completed in a team. Maybe he can experience it after playing for a while?

  But William felt that after experiencing the baptism of World of Warcraft, it was difficult to hold on for that long.

  Now Diablo Online supports him to play the biggest motivation, which is to get random drop equipment from monsters...

  So William bite the bullet and played for 2 hours, and finally experienced a copy of Diablo online.

  He formed a team in a tacit understanding with several other players. Everyone's non-stop slap space operation seemed like a wower player.

   and I am also very proficient in the next book.

  After playing the first BOSS, everyone sat on the ground and fell into contemplation.

  After a while, a message sent by a person appeared in the team channel:

  "This game seems to have nothing to cooperate with when playing this game?"

   "Yes, the boss skills come out. Just avoid them. You don't need to rely on teammates. Just take care of yourself."

   "Hmm... I always feel that something is missing."

   "It's probably like fighting side by side together, and lacking some strategic art, right?"

  ...

After some exchanges, William also tasted something wrong. The design of this game is obviously extended from Diablo 2, whether it is character design, skill building and equipment... These are all enriched on the basis of the lively Diablo 2. .

  In addition, the experience of playing BOSS has no cooperation at all, so the difficulty is much lower than that of World of Warcraft.

  William can’t say whether it’s good or bad. After all, the taste of this game must still be dark. This is something that the Blizzard team has to grips with. It allows you to play different styles through different skill combinations.

  The only shortcoming may be—

  In terms of team cooperation, it is still biased towards single-player experience. You only need to hide the BOSS skills and then perform the output. There is no need to care about other teammates.

   And in terms of professional skill design, it was not designed in accordance with the team design philosophy of World of Warcraft, and naturally it would not be able to achieve that effect.

  So William felt very distressed.

  Say this game okay?

  I always feel that there is not much that attracts him, so let’s say it’s not good, it’s really dark...

  I really want to say something about it, probably—

  Because I gave my love to WOW first, I have not been able to accept another game that is so different from World of Warcraft in a short time.

  ...

  Just as William was in deep thought, he received a call from the president of the World of Warcraft Guild.

   "William, it's online, our 1st regiment is going to open up wasteland for MC today."

"Oh well!"

  William hung up, and his whole body became excited.

  He hardly hesitated, turned off Diablo online, and then landed in World of Warcraft.

  Returning to Warcraft, he suddenly had the joy of enjoying freedom.

   "Ah! World of Warcraft, I am coming!"

  ...

  This time Cao Yang did not play any strategic sniper against Diablo online. Although he had been prepared for a long time, it would be better to say that several 40-person team books have been waiting for a long time, and there is also a very important event of Ahnqi's opening of the door.

  These are the nuclear weapons of World of Warcraft. As long as there are any signs of fire in Diablo online in the future, Cao Yang will update World of Warcraft as soon as possible. Good attack comes from the threat of Diablo online.

  However, judging from the results, it seems unnecessary.

  Because the results of Diablo online are indeed not very satisfactory, there are still a lot of heated discussions about these two games on the Internet.

   "Hello, has anyone played "Diablo Online"? How about this game? What evaluation, has anyone who played it talked about it?"

"If you have played the Diablo series, you can only say that this game is quite satisfactory. It inherits the core gameplay and game objectives of the Diablo series. The screen is also quite dark, and because Blizzard uses the X2 engine this time, the screen is quite good. , Many details are very delicate.

But if you want to experience it in depth, I don’t recommend you to play this game, because compared to the richness of World of Warcraft and the big world view, the part that Diablo can play is too limited. The biggest fun of it now lies in Swipe, keep playing better equipment, it's actually quite boring to play for a long time. "

  "If you have not played World of Warcraft, you may be able to experience it. If you have played World of Warcraft, you will feel that compared with World of Warcraft, the current Diablo online is like a child who has not grown up.

  If you have to wait for him to grow up, it is estimated that there will be a long time.

  So, why not come and play World of Warcraft together?

  There are more and richer gameplay, and there are many like-minded friends waiting for you.

  Welcome to World of Warcraft. "

  "Yes, yes, the above has said everything I want to say, and the current Diablo online really looks like a child who has not grown up.

I won’t talk about anything else, I’ll just say one thing. Compared with World of Warcraft, the server of this game is really immature. Last night I went to download a copy with my friends. The result was half of the game because of the network. The problem was collectively disconnected, and it took two hours to get rid of it. When we went online, we found that we were all dead, and the copy couldn't get in either. "

   "Yes, I really don't recommend you to play Diablo online. Of course, if you are a Blizzard fan, if you have feelings, just treat it as I didn't say it.

The gameplay of Diablo online has been said before. Let me talk about the world view of this game. The world view of Diablo itself is of its own style, but this world view is a closed one. It starts from Diablo and goes to Diablo. Apollo ended, basically the struggle between angels and demons.

  Humanity is just a chess piece in it.

  If there is no World of Warcraft, this world view can still be seen for the time being. Anyway, when playing games, everyone cares about social networking and equipment upgrades...

  But when you compare, you will find that the World of Warcraft view is so grand and can be extended infinitely. In comparison, the dark world view is quite small, which cannot be solved by technical means or the richness of gameplay.

  As said upstairs, compared to World of Warcraft, the current Diablo online is like a child who has not grown up yet.

  And now, I very much doubt whether this kid can grow up. "

  ...

  The result of the discussion is basically to the side of World of Warcraft.

  Not to mention that World of Warcraft is currently in the honeymoon period for players, and it is difficult to be pulled by other games.

  So even if there are players who wanted to play Diablo online in the past, they finally returned to World of Warcraft.

  Only a small number of players who have not played World of Warcraft survive in the dark online.

  Finally until the end of August, the number of simultaneous online users of Diablo Online was very bleak, and did not exceed 20,000.

  ...

  This time, it can be said to be an overwhelming victory for World of Warcraft.
