Chapter 423 We are shameless!
January 13th.
There are still two days before the release of Linmu Studio's console.
Media reviews will be lifted soon.
Because the time between the release and the official release is very short.
So Lin Yao did not raise the release date too early. After all, the time is too tight. It is a new console and there are a lot of games.
Lin Yao thinks that it may take a certain amount of time for the other party to play all the games, so she set the release date two days before the release.
And on this day.
Because Linmu Studio's console is about to be released.
So the domestic discussion about consoles and escort masterpieces has also reached a peak...
because they can be played soon.
On the forum.
Players excitedly discussed when they would receive the pre-ordered consoles, what the games are like, whether they are as amazing as the videos, and even predicted the sales of Linmu Studio's consoles in the first month.
In short.
There are many related posts.
But the situation is very good. At
half past ten that night.
It was destroyed.
Because a new post appeared on the forum...
[Sad news, Linmu Studio's console switch, CGN score is only 7 points! ]
Originally, during this period of time.
Linmu Studio's publicity and the release of the actual machine video have already raised the expectations to the highest level.
But such a post directly poured cold water on all players...
Players immediately clicked on the post and read the detailed content.
The content of the post was reprinted, and the reviews were all in English.
However, players can still understand the Arabic numerals of the rating and the game cover...
and the rating... although not terrible.
But compared with the scores of Linmu Studio's previous works, it is really unsatisfactory.
[Switch: 7 points, the battery life is unsatisfactory, and the positioning is vague. As a handheld game console, it is indeed powerful, but as a home console, it can't be compared with Peria New 1 at all, because of the confusing positioning. On the contrary, Peria's clearly positioned Per Helder has more selling points. However, as a new concept product, its basic hardware design and concept realization are very good, and it can barely be regarded as promising in the future. ]
["Splatoon": 7 points, a colorful, cute, non-violent team shooting game, but this kind of peculiar shooting game, I guess not many players can accept it. After all, although it is cute, it is difficult to keep players interested. 】
【Mario Kart: 7 points, it creatively adds props to the game, and it is a very good racing game, but from another perspective, more fun means that the fun of racing is greatly reduced... Compared with traditional racing games, the feeling of being hit by props and then losing the lead is not pleasant, because it has nothing to do with racing itself. 】
【1-2 Switch: 6 points, the game content lacks depth, and it is difficult to get interested after playing it once. 】
【The Legend of Zelda: 6.9 points, the art style is unique, but the picture is generally fine, the gameplay is still interesting, but as an open world game, there is a lack of clear guidance, and players are very likely to be aimless, which is a failure. 】
Soon.
Someone translated the specific content of the review under the post.
After all, there are quite a lot of people paying attention.
And the players who browsed the post looked at the ratings and reviews, and their faces were a little strange.
You say this review is good, but it's a fart!
Almost all four games have obvious shortcomings. The consoles are not satisfactory. Not many players can accept Splatoon. Mario Kart lacks racing fun. The Legend of Zelda lacks a clear way to guide. 1-2 Switch is the worst, with not even a good word to say...
But if you say it's really bad, it's as bad as the center of the earth, but it doesn't seem to be that bad, because the reviews praised it a few times, saying it's very creative, the gameplay is interesting, the performance is very good, etc.
But overall.
Players were really poured a basin of cold water...
a big basin of cold water.
Players who were originally looking forward to the release of the game immediately started to murmur when they saw the reviews.
Players who replied to the post also began to doubt and worry.
"Is this fake? Doesn't Linmu Studio never send games to review media in advance?"
"How dare CGN review it without giving it to them? Don't they care about their reputation? Their saliva alone can drown them, they must have given it to them... Linmu Studio may really value this console and escort masterpiece, so they sent it to the media for review. I didn't expect them to be so disrespectful..."
"What do you mean by giving face? Shouldn't reviews be fair? I don't want to buy The Legend of Zelda anymore..."
"It feels a bit strange. Why mention Peria's consoles and handhelds in the Switch review?"
"For comparison, but I am indeed disappointed after reading the review. Let's see after the release."
"I don't believe in CGN's reviews. Their reviews are often bullshit!"
"Four games, one console, and no game scored more than eight points. It's so miserable."
"This..." "
..."
Although most of the players' replies are meaningless.
But they are right about one thing.
Linmu Studio really values this console and escort masterpiece.
So it's such a big deal.
The next day.
Early in the morning of January 14,
Lin Yao received the news...
in the conference room.
She listened to Mu Wanqing's report with a strange expression, looking stunned.
How dare they?
Let's not talk about the specific quality of the game. After all,
our Linmu Studio sent you a game for review for the first time, and this was your strong request.
Is this the evaluation you gave? Almost half of the bad words? Only a few good words?
She looked at the other people in the conference room.
Everyone looked like they wanted to kill CGN's mother...
She retracted her gaze, lowered her head again, and then picked up the specific content of the review printed by Mu Wanqing. After thinking for a while, she looked up and asked, "Does this have anything to do with Peria?"
"It should."
Mu Wanqing nodded heavily, and then said, "But this is just a guess, because there is no actual evidence. CGN has always been able to get Peria's breaking news first-hand, and Peria's advertising in Europe and the United States is mostly placed by the media group to which CGN belongs..."
Mu Wanqing talked about her guess.
In fact, her guess was almost right.
Peria is involved with CGN.
CGN is afraid that Peria will turn against it.
After listening to this, Lin Yao was so angry that she laughed: "Really good! It's hard to keep players interested? It's not good to be hit by props and then lose the lead? Lack of clear guidance?... They are afraid of Peria turning against us, but they are not afraid of us turning against us, right?
They took the initiative to ask for console reviews, and treated us like this? They are not even willing to find an editor who knows the industry to review the game, really good!"
At this moment.
What Lin Yao was most angry about was not the private comments in the reviews, nor the ratings.
In the previous life, the ratings of the switch... didn't seem to be very good. The rating given by a certain editor in the early stage was even as low as 6.1 points.
Later, the final rating was changed to 8 points.
As for the ratings of those games, if it was reasonable, she could barely regard it as the personal taste of the review editor.
But it was not like that at all!
She couldn't accept it at all now, because the comments in these reviews didn't seem to be written by a gamer who liked the game!
"..."
Others saw Lin Yao who was angry and laughed.
They also showed anger.
The reason they were most angry was somewhat different from Lin Yao.
Most people think that the other party is too disrespectful.
You guys came to ask for the console yourself, and this is the first time the two sides have cooperated. Linmu Studio gave you the exclusive review rights, and you gave a score like this? Rating like this before the console is released?
Even if the game is really that bad and completely not to the taste of the review editor, any normal person would know that they should give face at this time, right?
Afraid that Peria will turn against you? Do you
really think Linmu Studio is easy to bully?
And is the game really that bad!? Bullshit!
However.
Although the main reasons for the anger were different, everyone in the meeting room was very angry.
"Lin Yao, I will immediately have someone issue a notice to publicly say that they do not recognize their ratings! In the future, I will not let them review the game, and even say that I will never cooperate with them and do not recognize their ratings. Bullshit!"
Zhong Xiu punched the table hard and said angrily.
Chen Qiuwen added: "On this basis, we can also send the game to other gaming media for review. I don't believe that all review media will give the same score! I played our game! It's not bad at all!" "
In addition, this rating released at this time will definitely affect the console released tomorrow. Let's sue them..."
Zhu Nianqiao was the last to speak.
"..."
Lin Yao heard their words, took a deep breath, barely suppressed her inner anger, and said: "There is no need. Publicly refusing to acknowledge the ratings and then announcing that we will never cooperate will only be considered as hitting the nail on the head and making people angry and petty. It is certain that we will not cooperate in the future, but there is no need to say it publicly, at least not before the console is released."
"As for sending the game to other game media, there is even less need! The console game is about to be released, let them buy the console for evaluation! We contacted them in a hurry, and we still have to suffer, why!"
"There is even less need to sue, the reason is the same as the first point."
"Then let it go?" Zhu Nianqiao looked unwilling, "We just acknowledge their ratings? We can only wait for redress after the release?"
"We acknowledge their ratings."
Lin Yao shook her ponytail lightly, "But it's not over! Zhong Xiu!"
She suddenly called out Zhong Xiu.
"Yes!"
"Recently, the reform of the Vaporwave game platform's rating mechanism has been launched ahead of schedule. Then, an announcement will be issued. From now on, all games under Linmu Studio will be based on the ratings of the Vaporwave game platform."
The Vaporwave game platform has also gradually improved in aspects that Lin Yao had not considered before.
For example, the 'recent scores' item will be launched soon.
"Okay." Zhong Xiu's eyes lit up.
This can also be regarded as a response! From now on, the evaluation of Vaporwave games will be used as the standard. The subtext is that game review media is the singing diva!
"Also."
Lin Yao paused, looked at Zhong Xiu, and said calmly:
"Please put CGN's rating, especially the 6.9 points! In all subsequent related promotional videos! Put all the game ratings given by CGN this time! At the beginning of our game's promotional video! After the game is released, the ratings of other game media will also be posted! But CGN's rating! It must be placed in the middle of the beginning of the promotional video!
In the future, no matter if they change the rating or contact us, we will reject it and never change it! We accept the rating they give! We at Linmu Studio only accept the rating they give now!
And we will promote it! Keep promoting it!
6.9 points, right?
We are shameless!
I'll see if they want it or not!
I don't believe it.
Players can't give a fair rating!
I want to see if all game media give 6.9 points!"
