Chapter 428: Remembering a Revenge.jpg
The forum was deserted.
It wasn't until dinner time that things started to change...
A large group of players who played the Escort masterpiece until dinner time, after dinner, their addiction finally subsided, and they all rushed into the forum. They
finally began to answer questions from players who hadn't purchased a console yet.
The number of replies to various inquiry posts began to soar in the evening!
"Original poster! Don't hesitate! My suggestion is! Buy it! I've played it for a whole day! It's so much fun!"
"Indeed, The Legend of Zelda is so powerful. That feeling... how can I describe it? It's completely different from the experience of ordinary open world games. You'll know once you actually play it." "
Someone should make a guide later, go and check it out. The Legend of Zelda is really worth it. This is the true meaning of... open world!"
"No, the person above, isn't the CGN score very low? Is it really that fun?"
"Rating!? That's bullshit! Let me put it this way, if other gaming media also give such low scores, then I will not only not trust CGN, but I will never trust these gaming media!! I can clearly say right now that if The Legend of Zelda only has a score of 6.9, then they are all idiots!"
"I really like Splatoon! It's a completely different shooting game! It's really different from any game on the market, the game mechanism is unique, and the experience it brings is also one-of-a-kind! CGN said it's hard to keep players interested? I doubt now, has the editor of that review ever played the game?"
"Girls, I played Mario Kart, it's so fun! Do you have any other similar games to recommend? I want to buy more?"
"No, this is the only one."
"I asked my grandfather to try 1-2-Switch, and he was also quite shocked, hahaha. I have to say, although the gameplay is simple, the vibration function of the console is really awesome!"
"I am now very sure that the ratings given by CGN this time are all very outrageous! The most outrageous one is The Legend of Zelda. Such a sincere work was given a low score, and I feel bad for Linmu Studio."
"I now doubt that CGN has taken money."
"I want to repent, I shouldn't doubt Linmu Studio..."
"Ahaha!"
"..."
Those players who have not yet purchased the console were all stunned by the constant stream of replies.
Fast.
Really too fast.
Too many!
There are new replies almost every second.
And most of the players who have bought the console are full of praise for the game and the console, especially The Legend of Zelda.
When it comes to CGN's reviews, most players are cursing.
Yes.
Just one day.
Linmu Studio's games and consoles have conquered almost all players who have purchased consoles.
Many players who have not yet purchased a console were immediately tempted when they saw these replies.
However, a small number of players still remain calm.
They want to see the scores of other media reviews first... to see if there is a problem with CGN's rating.
This time, the time between Linmu Studio's release and sale of the console was very short, and the time was actually very tight.
At the beginning, Lin Yao had no intention of sending the console and games to game media for review...
As a result, the only media that got the console and games in advance was CGN, which took the initiative to contact Zhong Xiu and almost begged...
In the end, his kindness was taken for granted, and Linmu Studio was backstabbed...
However.
Now that the overseas console has also been released, it is estimated that other review media will buy the console as soon as possible, and the preliminary ratings will soon come out...
These players who remain calm are just waiting for their preliminary ratings.
...
The situation in major overseas game forums is similar to that in China.
There are also a lot of hesitant players asking about the actual experience of Linmu Studio's console.
That is, the post replies are not as crazy as in China.
Because it was already late at night in most places over there.
Many overseas players who got the consoles started playing after unlocking the consoles, and when they looked up,
it was often already early in the morning. As for the editors of other game review media, they all got the consoles.
Well... they bought the consoles with their own money.
Their sense of smell is more sensitive than that of ordinary players.
They noticed that the ratings given by CGN were not right at a glance, so they were also very interested in the consoles of Linmu Studio.
After all, CGN is the old predecessor and big brother in the industry. What if... they can step on it and get promoted?
Local time.
Eleven o'clock.
The editor-in-chief of CGN returned home with a tired hand holding the switch console.
He finally took the time to play a few games on the console of Linmu Studio.
Before that.
He had asked his secretary to send out a notice, clearly stating that the previous ratings of the console of Linmu Studio and its escort masterpieces were only preliminary ratings.
It was a shot of prevention.
However, because the switch console was released, most players did not notice their announcement.
But it doesn't matter.
As long as the game is not too outrageous... there should be no problem.
Well.
Anyway, the CGN editor-in-chief doesn't think it's a big deal.
"...I have backaches all over my body, but I still have to play games."
The editor-in-chief of CGN returned home, connected the console base, and then walked to the sofa with the controller. As he walked, he rubbed his waist and sighed helplessly.
As he got older,
he felt more and more powerless.
He used to be able to play games all night.
But now it's past eleven o'clock and he wants to sleep. He
really can't refuse to accept his old age.
The editor-in-chief of CGN shook his head, then sat down on the sofa and held the controller.
Although he had issued a notice to take precautions, he felt that there was no big problem...
but he didn't know why.
There was always a faint sense of crisis lingering in the heart of the editor-in-chief of CGN.
He wanted to figure out why, otherwise he really didn't want to play games late at night.
"I hope you don't let me waste time..."
The editor-in-chief of CGN rubbed his waist again, then pressed the confirmation button and chose to start.
The first game he played was of course "The Legend of Zelda".
And during the game.
At the beginning, the editor-in-chief of CGN reached out to rub his sore waist while playing.
But as the game progressed...
slowly.
He seemed to have forgotten such a thing...
at the same time.
His body, which was slumped on the back of the sofa, slowly sat up and began to lean forward.
But he himself did not seem to notice anything wrong...
He looked at the screen with bright eyes, happy for all the interesting ways to play in the game.
Time passed slowly.
It was half past two in the morning.
With the death of Link on the screen, the editor-in-chief of CGN suddenly came to his senses!
He suddenly realized what he was doing, looked down at the handle, and then looked at the screen.
Finally, he looked at the time.
He stood up suddenly.
His eyes widened.
"Wayne! Son of a bith..."
...
The next day.
The editor-in-chief of CGN, who had almost not slept all night, came to the office and the editorial department.
He did not call Wayne.
He did not ask about the situation of Linmu Studio.
Instead, he called the secretary and asked the secretary to call the two brothers James and Kevin over.
The secretary looked at the haggard editor-in-chief in confusion, then nodded and left.
But soon.
The secretary came back again.
Replied.
James and Kevin were not here today...
At this time, the editor-in-chief of CGN remembered.
Last night, the switch was unlocked, and the two brothers who only had one console asked for leave from him, saying that they wanted to buy another one to play happily, and they would not come today...
Although it was the leave approved by himself.
Although it was not the secretary's fault.
But the editor-in-chief of CGN still roared angrily: "Damn it! Do you still need me to teach you!? Call them! Contact them no matter what, let them answer the phone!"
The editor-in-chief of CGN seemed very impatient, like a bipolar disorder.
"..."
The secretary didn't know what was wrong with him, looked at him with a strange expression, and then turned and left.
But the secretary walked halfway.
"Wait! Did GameRound release any news this morning?"
The editor-in-chief of CGN suddenly stopped the secretary and asked.
"I'll check... Yes, the early rating of the game "The Legend of Zelda" was released." The secretary lowered his head and fiddled with the phone, then replied.
The editor-in-chief of CGN was silent for a moment, and asked: "How much...?"
The secretary reported a number.
Hearing the exact number.
With a bang.
The editor-in-chief of CGN felt like his head exploded...
...
China, January 16th.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
The largest game forum in China.
After a night, the forum that had barely calmed down... became very lively again because of an explosive news!
At the same time, this news also made those players who were hesitating whether to buy the switch console after seeing the overwhelming applause, instantly turn to the side of "buy"!
And this news is that GameRound, a game review media second only to CGN, gave the early score of "The Legend of Zelda" - 10 points after playing for half a day and a night!
Not long after.
Several other well-known game review media, as if they had agreed, also gave early scores for "The Legend of Zelda".
On the forum.
Every time the game media score is released, it can attract the attention of a large number of players.
Among them, CGN's mother, I don't know how many times it has disappeared...
Until noon.
This situation gradually subsided.
Because most of the review media familiar to domestic players have already given early scores.
And when the last review media released the score, players immediately made a summary.
【GameRound: 10/10, amazing game, even if you don't play it for a long time, you can feel the sincerity. During the game, Linmu Studio always surprises players with new rules and possibilities, and then creates an unparalleled sense of accomplishment with the map full of design! 】
【BTGame: 10/10, a sandbox game full of excitement and countless secrets. In the game, you can feel almost all the time that the game contains countless tempting things, waiting for players to explore】
【Square: 10/10, a brand new open world, full of exciting elements for players, interesting! 】
【GameBox: 9.9/10, it is really too charming. If the quality of subsequent games is not a problem, then I will make up this 0.1 point and upgrade this game to a must-play for gamers! 】
【Kotaku: Yes, supreme. Create a world! To be honest, I really don't understand why CGN gave this game such a rating. 】
【CGN: 6.9/10 points, the art style is unique, but the picture is average, the gameplay is 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. 】
Well.
The player who compiled the review also added CGN's review...
It was very abrupt...
And the players who read the post below began to laugh, and then praised the player who posted it, saying that he was really good at making things happen.
But soon.
The players found out. The one who
really made things happen was not the players, but Linmu Studio...
Because not long after these game media's early ratings came out, Linmu Studio released a new "Legend of Zelda" trailer.
After the classic console logo appeared.
These newly released game media ratings appeared on the screen, including CGN's rating.
Among them, CGN's icon is the largest and most conspicuous...
The rating number 6.9 below CGN is even more conspicuous compared to the rating numbers given by other media next to it...
In addition.
This rating frame stays for a long time, which usually flashes by.
But the promo of Linmu Studio stayed on for more than ten seconds...
After watching the promo, the players
all looked strange.
Below the post,
the first reply was -
"Lin Yao: Remembering a grudge.JPG."
...
Overseas.
After unremitting efforts, the editor-in-chief of CGN finally contacted James and Kevin, who were sleeping soundly and their phones were turned off, and he was almost crazy...
When Kevin and James rushed to the editorial office confused,
the editor-in-chief of CGN immediately said: "Where is your second review? Prepare it immediately..."
He was halfway through his words.
The secretary who was working overtime with him suddenly knocked on the door and walked in, interrupting him.
"What's the matter!"
The editor-in-chief of CNG looked at the secretary with great dissatisfaction.
The secretary hesitated and said: "I saw many players on the forum laughing at us... Then I found out that it was because of a new promo released by Linmu Studio. I think it is necessary to tell you about this."
"What promo?"
When the editor-in-chief of CGN heard about Linmu Studio, he stood up immediately as if he was ptsd.
The secretary handed his phone to the editor-in-chief in silence.
The editor-in-chief of CGN lowered his head, and then looked at the reputation page that stayed there for more than ten seconds... It was like seeing his own tombstone...
"... Contact Linmu Studio immediately, and tell them that I want to talk to them! Be sincere."
After more than ten seconds.
The editor-in-chief of CGN raised his head again, his face turned pale, and after a while, he managed to calm down, and said with trembling lips.
The secretary turned around immediately.
The editor-in-chief of CGN began to explain the situation to James and Kevin.
James and Kevin understood.
But before they could respond,
the secretary knocked on the door again.
"How is it?"
This time, the editor-in-chief of CGN didn't care about being interrupted, and immediately looked at the secretary.
The secretary held an A4 paper, shook her head slightly, and said with a strange look: "After hearing my self-introduction, she hung up directly."
Upon hearing this, the editor-in-chief of CGN immediately raised his voice: "Send an email! Send an email to contact them! Do you still need me to teach you!?" "
I sent it, and they replied..."
"What did they reply?"
"..."
The secretary hesitated for a while, her face became even more strange. She handed the A4 paper to him, and then whispered: "Editor-in-chief, you should read it yourself..." The editor
-in-chief of CGN took it and looked down.
The reply from Linmu Studio was very simple, just one line of words - "FUCK OFF."
