There's really something wrong with this online game plan

Chapter 471

Feng Kangshun looked at a few friends who were still playing online, since noon, and their status hadn't changed until now.

Finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He found a friend with whom he usually chatted best, opened the chat window, and sent him a message.

"Dude, is the game Civilization really that fun? I see you've played it until now."

Click Send.

But after the message was sent out, it was like a mud cow into the sea, and no reply was received for a long time.

Until, Feng Kangshun got a little impatient waiting.

Only then did the reply pop out.

"Fun."

Just one word.

Then it's over.

A feeling of not disturbing him playing games...

Feng Kangshun looked at the reply, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Do you think I care about you?I want to explain what makes this game so fun, let me see if I should start with it.

Do you just say it's fun?
That's right.

Feng Kangshun was indeed moved.

When Linmu Studio releases a new game, it will indeed bring a lot of his friends together to play, and occasionally Feng Kangshun himself is among them.

But even the best new game.

No matter how fascinated everyone is playing, they usually take a rest.

For example, at time nodes such as afternoon and early morning, many players will choose to turn off the game.

Although the next day, I could see them continuing to play again.

But this time, no matter when Feng Kangshun went to visit, he could see them online and playing all the time, which was outrageous. This kind of thing had never happened before.

Is it really that fun?
This kind of thought arises spontaneously, and it is understandable that I have the urge to start the game.

"Where is the fun? I remember you said you didn't like this type of game before."

Feng Kangshun thought for a while, and sent another message to the other party.

The other party still did not respond.

After a long time.

Only then did he reply: "It's fun, it's fun... I don't know! Don't talk about it, I'm so mad! Fucking Gandhi! He said he advocated non-violent non-cooperation, and he was the first to drop the nuclear bomb!"

"?"

Feng Kangshun slowly put a question mark when he saw his friend's message.

Then, I became even more excited.

Nuclear bomb?

By the way, it seems that the game promotional video does say that players have to control the development of the entire civilization... It is normal to be able to research nuclear bombs.

interesting.

Feng Kangshun looked at his friend's information, then looked at the Vaporwave game platform, closed the chat window, and turned around to find a real friend.

"exist?"

"what?"

"What are you doing?"

"Ready to go to bed, I played "Bloodthirsty" all day today! It's really cool! The game player really made the right bet this time. I took a look before closing the game. The multiplayer mode entered in seconds! A bunch of players, watch it on the Vaporwave game platform It's dangerous.

By the way, do you want to try it too?This game is really worth buying!Although it is not as long-term operation as "Breakout", if you like FPS, it is worth playing. "

Feng Kangshun's real-life friends told him a lot, and by the way, he even bought the game.

But Feng Kangshun was not tempted.

He is very familiar with the FPS game genre, and in his mind, "Breakout" is the best in the world!That's not much to say.

Now he cares more about the types of games he doesn't understand, such as the "Civilization" that a dozen of his friends played for more than ten hours...

"Besides FPS, I see that "Civilization" on the Vaporwave game platform seems to be played by many people, and the reviews are very good. Would you like to try it together?"

He quickly texted back.

"?"

His friend in real life directly sent him a question mark: "Crazy, it's already early in the morning, I'm crazy to play some turn-based strategy games with you, it's not good to go to "Bloodthirsty" tomorrow after I've had enough sleep ?"

"You go to bed so early? Why don't you lie in bed and play Splatoon, try it! Anyway, you can get your money back within two hours."

Feng Kangshun replied: "I'm really curious, aren't you curious? Look at your friend list, is everyone playing?"

"...Damn it, is it true that everyone is playing?"

The friend on the other end paused, and then replied: "I don't understand, is FPS unhappy? Or is Linmu Studio too famous? Are these people following suit?"

Feng Kangshun bewitched: "You don't care what the reason is, anyway, I'm curious, are you curious? Do you want to rush? It's not fun, if you really can't accept it, you can get a two-hour refund. Go to sleep and continue playing your "" Bloodlust."

"You, you can play alone, why pull me?"

"It's boring to play alone, let's try it with the mic, and you can say whether you want to come or not!"

"...Okay, let's try it."

opposite.

Feng Kangshun's friend looked at the Vaporwave game platform, thought of the refund mechanism, and saw that there were indeed many friends playing, so he agreed without psychological pressure.

but.

Promise is promise.

He didn't forget to add at the end: "Don't get on top, I'll go to bed at three o'clock and play "Bloodthirsty" tomorrow."

"Row."

Feng Kangshun agreed, and then the two logged into 'Kaihei' and bought the game together.

The game starts downloading.

The two took this time to chat about their recent situation.

And the download speed of the game is quite fast.

The two of them didn't chat for a long time, and the progress bar had gone two-thirds of the way.

"It feels like the Internet speed has been much faster recently, do you feel it?"

Feng Kangshun glanced at the download page, and suddenly sighed.

"Recently, it was said that a large-scale broadband speed increase is required, which is normal."

The friend replied, and continued: "However, apart from this, the network of the Vaporwave game platform is indeed faster than other software. After all, didn't Linmu Studio say to optimize the network a while ago? I read that people on the forum said that they Servers have been added in various regions, and the huge cost will be thrown down, so it's no wonder it's not fast.

This aspect of game player is pretty bad, tsk, there are always ups and downs in China, it’s so stupid, I played "Bloodthirsty" for almost half a day... This Linmu Studio is really good. "

Feng Kangshun was slightly taken aback when he heard what his friend said, and then he came to his senses.

It seems to be true...

Although the Vaporwave game platform doesn’t seem to have made any big moves, and the players’ feelings are not obvious, unlike game players giving games or exclusive third-party masterpieces that attract much attention, but optimizing the network environment and community, Linmu Studio has been doing it all the time...

He, who doesn't pay attention to the speed of the Internet at all, has discovered that the download speed has become faster.

Moreover, when he thinks back now, he thinks it's outrageous. Why would he dare to ask his friends to play a game that he hasn't bought yet at twelve o'clock in the morning?

Isn't it just a subconscious feeling that games on the Vaporwave game platform can be downloaded soon?

Linmu Studio's silent move to moisten things... hiss.

Feng Kangshun suddenly understood why Linmu Studio chose to optimize the network and community silently, regardless of the game sent by the other party.

This is to enhance the core competitiveness in silence.

"Stop talking, I'm done here, are you alright?"

At this time, a friend suddenly interrupted Feng Kangshun's thoughts.

"...Almost, you go in and get familiar with it first, and see how to connect, it will be fine soon." Feng Kangshun immediately came back to his senses, replied, and put the extra thoughts behind him. After all, he was just an ordinary player. I thought about it, but not much.

"alright."

The friend responded, then fell silent, and opened the game.

Unlike Kang Yi, who directly clicked on Quick Start, he chose a teaching mode to familiarize himself with the game's operations and elements first.

but.

Probably because my friend is next to me, and I have never been exposed to strategy games before.

While playing, he also complained.

"I knew that no matter how magnificent the promotional video is, the final game will become like this... small grids. I have never understood what is so fun about this kind of game. It is not like FPS, although the promotional video is also exaggerated. , but at least as soon as No.1 came out, that feeling came.”

"Well, cities, resources, construction, technology... so troublesome."

"However, the map is quite unexpected. Each grid has different landforms, and then there are different resources. It is true that very few games will make it like this."

"Well, after the early construction is completed, you can't do other things for seven or eight rounds. What's the point of that?"

"It's boring!"

"...I'm ready too."

the other side.

On the way to listen to friends complaining.

Feng Kangshun also finished the game. Like his friends, he also entered the teaching mode.

Then learn the basics of the game based on the game teaching.

As for what his friend complained about, he felt the same way.

but.

He is different from his friends, he has been exposed to two turn-based strategy games before, or more precisely, strategy games.

At that time, his only feeling when playing strategy games was that it was difficult and troublesome.

Because strategy games generally have a lot of settings, and even after reading the tutorial, it is difficult to figure out what those settings are, except for intuitive ones such as money.

This is also the reason why he doesn't like strategy games and doesn't understand why a group of friends play "Civilization" marathon.

But this "Civilization", I don't know why, even if I don't read the introduction,
He can guess the role of many systems...whether it is money, policy, satisfaction, or religion, population, various units.

Moreover, he feels that the game setting is quite reasonable.

Population grows as food grows, after all where do you get population without food?
As the population increases, religious points will be born, which seems reasonable.

After all, there are too many people.

And these settings are closely related to reality and history, combined with the hints and tools in the game, it feels easy to understand the role of most functions of this game.

There is an inexplicable feeling of getting started.

And my friend said that I can't do other things in the first seven or eight rounds, which is also exaggerated. The feeling of exploring the map, finding a good place, and then meeting expedition teams from other countries is actually quite good...

"Okay, I have fully understood this game now, are you okay? Let's start a battle."

At this time.

Feng Kangshun's friend said again: "After playing for a while, I'm almost going to bed, otherwise I'll miss the refund time. If you're not familiar with the game, let's get familiar with it slowly. Teaching is quite boring. Let's see if it's fun with many people. If it's not fun, you can get a refund. "

"alright."

Although Feng Kangshun hasn't finished the teaching, he probably knows how to play the game.

Build cities, then choose policies and technologies that are conducive to combat, and then blast your opponents to death.

Ok.

That's it.

Solve the battle within an hour, and then see if you want a refund.

The two went through the teaching hastily, and then directly started the formal game.

The two chose a medium-sized map, and then added several AI opponents. As for civilization, one of the two chose Wu Zetian, and the other chose Augustus Caesar.

The game has officially started.

At the beginning, there was nothing to say, almost like teaching.

Determine the city location.

Choose a research direction.

Production workers.

The original fighters went to explore the map.

"Shall we fight now?"

Feng Kangshun's friend suddenly teased while looking at the picture: "In case such a round goes by and misses the refund time."

"Destroy the country at the beginning?"

Feng Kangshun smiled and replied.

"Well, this is exciting... After all, the early stage of the game feels a bit boring, so what's the point of controlling a B fighter?"

"Okay."

Feng Kangshun thought for a while, but for the first time he didn't agree with him.

Because he thought it was quite interesting to explore the pictures.

The two continued to chat.

While chatting, click on the next round.

The next round that continues like this, the next round...

Slowly, the two stopped talking.

And the situation... gradually became wrong.

The feeling of the two of them was similar to that of Kang Yi, but slowly, they felt that there were too many elements in the system, and at the same time they felt a little flustered, and at the same time, they came up with interesting ideas.

Soon, the two stopped talking.

next round.

next round.

Another round...

The two's perception of the passage of time became dull, and Feng Kangshun's friend, the direction of complaints began to gradually shift.

"Ah Shun, what does B Spain mean? Why does he want to explode troops on my border?"

"I don't know."

"You... Fuck! War has been declared! Did you see that! He actually declared war on me!"

"See, can you beat it?"

"Hit you! The opponent has a bunch of siege engines, save! Save! Save!"

"I only have a few groups of archers."

"Don't worry about it! Send it here first, let's form an alliance! I can't beat the country and I'm going to destroy the country..."

"..."

Things gradually became exciting.

then……

time flies.

the next day.

11 month 16 number.

The second day after "Civilization" was unlocked, ten o'clock in the morning.

"Do you have uranium ore there? Trade it to me."

Feng Kangshun asked with two dark circles under his eyes.

"Mao, I only have two. If you don't give them, I will soon enter the atomic age." His friend's voice was a little tired, but full of energy.

"Do you believe that I dropped an atomic bomb on your house?"

"Come on, that B Spain next to us is about to enter the information age, you fight, tie them up and die together!"

"...How about this? Let's destroy the Spanish civilization next to us first, and then fight to the death. They have a lot of uranium ore in their territory."

"Good idea, then you pull out your main battle tank and heavy machine gun, my bomber will open the way, and you go up and give the **** a shot."

"Why am I not in charge of the bombing? You are in charge of ground propulsion? The cities where I station bombers are closer?"

"Just say you agree or disagree, if you can't, just break up!"

Feng Kangshun: "You fucking..."

this moment.

Feng Kangshun actually felt the intrigue in modern warfare in the game...

He couldn't laugh or cry, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

Then, the two began to continue the operation.

then.

It's twelve o'clock...

The two began to besiege the Spanish civilization, the biggest competitor nearby, and successfully flattened their cities one by one. Now there is only the last main city left by the opponent.

With the last round of bombing.

Spanish civilization, the last city declared to fall.

Feng Kangshun also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, violent exhaustion flooded my heart...

Finally, instead of staring at the screen, he picked up the phone again and checked the time.

Ok.

twelve o'clock.

……and many more.

???

twelve o'clock?
Back in time?
No, what about you, it's twelve o'clock at noon!
"Fuck, it's already twelve o'clock, it's time to rest..."

Feng Kangshun gave a wry smile and came to his senses.

This game is really poisonous.

The more you play, the more exciting you will be!
He finally knows why his friends play games marathon, because once they sink in, it's really hard to let go... He always wants to know what surprises will come in the next round.

What surprises are there for the next round...

Then it went down and down, and it became like this.

so tired.

He shook his head, wanting to tell his friend to rest.

But when he looked up, before he finished speaking, he saw that with the fall of Spanish civilization, the biggest computer opponent... his friend directly transferred the units that surrounded the city and aimed at his heavy machine gun unit.

【idiot!Your judgment day has come! 】

【Rome declares war on you! 】

"..."

Feng Kangshun was stunned: "Stupid! What are you doing!?"

"Your Judgment Day is coming!!" On the other side of the hacking software, his friend repeated very accurately.

The corners of Feng Kangshun's mouth twitched, and he tried to persuade him: "You still have to judge a ghost, it's time to rest, I've been playing with you for more than ten hours."

The friend immediately said: "No!! Go to sleep! Hurry up, next round!"

Feng Kangshun was silent for a moment, then changed direction: "...Didn't you say that you want to play "Bloodthirsty" today? Go to bed early."

"Fuck you! I'll play "Bloodthirsty" later, I won't kill you today, I can't sleep!"

"Keep your head off..."

"I'm not on top!! I just want to kill you before you sleep!"

"You tm... okay, I'll fight with you."

Feng Kangshun watched the opponent's soldiers pressing down on him, and his adrenaline surged instantly.

Not sleepy anymore!
He began to dispatch troops and generals, preparing for a bloody battle to the end!!

……

this day.

For many players, it is special...

But for more regular players, it was just another normal day.

on the community forum.

Because there are a lot of new games recently, the related discussions are also very complicated.

Some discuss the game "Bloodthirsty", some discuss the game "Last Moment", and some discuss the game "Super Mario Party".

And the relevant discussion of "Civilization".

least.

Many players didn't understand the situation, which was quite strange, so they posted a post.

[Big brothers, didn't Linmu Studio's "Civilization" go on sale yesterday?Has anyone played it?Why no one discussed it?Is it bad? How is the quality? 】

This post is sent out.

Most of the replies are that I don’t know, I haven’t bought it yet, and I don’t know how it is...

but.

As time passed, the players who had actually played the game came out and replied——

"I advise you not to play."

This reply immediately attracted the attention of the person who posted it. He quickly replied and asked, "Is it very bad?"

"No, I'm afraid of your sudden death..." The other party's reply was also quick.

Poster sees: "????"

And wait for the time to come that night.

Players who stayed up all night yesterday, wake up...

These people are all fans of Linmu Studio. Even if the new game is a turn-based strategy, they chose to buy it immediately, and then...then there is no more.

The case of Feng Kangshun is not unique.

Most of the players who bought "Civilization" stayed up all night.

Even bloody battle all night.

Only then did they get up and have time to share their feelings.

And their feelings about the game...their views are unexpectedly consistent.

"Don't play! This shit is as addictive! Really don't play!!"

"I bought the game at [-] o'clock yesterday, and went to bed at [-] o'clock today...During the period, I checked the time countless times and made up my mind to go to sleep, but I followed the demon like a demon, and I still clicked on the next round subconsciously. It's all next turn."

"Crazy! This game is really poisonous!"

"I can't! I feel my body is hollowed out, I can't play anymore tonight, but I really want to play (crying)"

"Don't buy it! This thing is a time black hole! Don't touch it!"

on the forum.

Related posts have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

But ordinary players don't understand it.

You say recommend it, all of these people are like seeing a ghost, and they all say not to play.

But you say you don't recommend it... This group of people is still like seeing a ghost, first mention not to play, and then it is full of... praise.

It's pretty outrageous.

This made most players interested in the game.

The forum has been in chaos for a while.

Finally, there are players, and a serious evaluation begins...

["Civilization" is a good game, there is no doubt about it, but there is one shortcoming... It makes people unable to stop.

Really no kidding!

Yes, you can't stop playing a strategy game. You heard me right, which is why so many players are crying and howling (including me).

Because this game is really poisonous... If you haven't played it, you may not feel the same way, so let's just say it.

This game, what is shown, is the same as the name of the game, which is the development history of a 'civilization'!
Urban development, military conquests, government sieges, resource plundering, big country greed...

Although it is just a game, this game directly subdivides the evolution of the entire civilization into pieces, visible and clear pieces, and then completely leaves the decision to shape the world to the player, making the player like a god, start Advancing History...

This feeling is really great... Every round, players have new surprises, and what they look forward to the most is always the next round.

Really. Complete. Complete. Stop. No. Down. Come on!
At first, I felt a little bored, then slowly, I became addicted, and then it got out of hand.

That's how I feel when I play the game.

Simple gameplay and complex content, coupled with the theme of 'civilization' that everyone understands, will really make all players who do not resist strategy games addicted.

And this is probably the charm of strategy games.

(Also, don’t play this game with your friends, it’s Lin Yao’s conspiracy! A fart party game! This shit is a marathon! Electronic marathon!)]

As soon as this review comes out.

The players who were still confused just now understood... this is a good game.

just.

It seems easy to get addicted.

but really?

Many players don't believe it.

Then, thanks to the refund mechanism of the Vaporwave game platform, many players who were not interested in it, with the idea of ​​getting a refund, also tried it...

And then... no more.

……

11 month 17 number.

gilber co.

Frank came to the company early in the morning, then glanced at the data report, and froze in place.

"Why??? Why did the number of online users of "Bloodthirsty" suddenly drop so much?"

He raised his head, looked at the secretary in confusion, and asked a question.

No, didn't "Bloodthirsty" still had more than 30 players online yesterday?
Why is there only [-] left all of a sudden?

How many players do I have?

The secretary shook his head with a look of 'I don't know either'.

Frank was silent: "..."

This abnormal data made him suddenly feel uneasy.

Should not be ah.

Forest studio?
No way.

What they make is a strategy game, how can they compete with FPS for players, dreaming?
that……

why?
The more Frank thought about it, the more something was wrong. He hesitated for a moment, and immediately turned on the computer, wanting to search for any big moves in the game circle recently.

And this search really found it.

On the third day after the release of "Civilization", the early media evaluation of this game... came out.

["Civilization", 9.7 points.

Just when everyone felt that the times had passed, the market had changed, and strategy games had been swept into the heap of history.

Lin Mu Studio stood up again.

They took another step back.

Then, it brought surprises to the players again.

Honestly, Civilization is the best turn-based strategy game I've ever seen and played!none of them!

All players should try it. 】

"..."

Frank looked at the content of the comment and opened his mouth slightly.

ha?
