There's really something wrong with this online game plan

Chapter 505 This tm is to block guns for Pokémon! !
on the community.

The post about the double release of the game hangs high on the first page.

Because "Pokémon" is also confirmed to release double versions.

However, the demo of "Monster Hunter" has not yet opened...

This makes the players feel more and more uncomfortable.

and so.

There are more and more players discussing.

In addition, there were indeed a lot of details in the meeting that I didn't make clear, because everyone was confused at the time.

So they are more and more concerned about the dual-version release model that appeared for the first time in this game circle.

As for the evaluation of this model... I can only say that there are a lot of bad reviews.

"I don't know if my understanding is correct. This double version means... Is it the same game, split into two parts for sale?"

"Yes! That's what it should mean, but there are some differences between the two versions, 15.00% of the content is different?"

"Don't talk about the difference! 80.00% of the content is the same! But the price is the same! Isn't this a waste of money? Other games can at most have a DLC, this guy, now 80.00% of the content is the same, but they are directly separated Sell!"

"I wanted to say it yesterday, but today's new work of "Pokémon" is also like this. It feels really outrageous."

""Pokémon" is actually not bad, it is more reasonable than "Monster Hunter". According to the disclosed gameplay, Pokémon can be exchanged, and the main service of the double version is this function, the purpose is to cause differences between players , if you want to complete the illustrated book, you have to exchange Pokémon with different players to fill the illustrated book, which is still meaningful.

But for the dual version of "Monster Hunter", I don't think it is necessary to see the gameplay. "

"It feels like a waste of money. Too much content is an excuse. Is Linmu Studio floating?"

"Well... I am most concerned about this part. Zhu Nianqiao from the host department said, I hope you can experience a different hunting experience with your friends. If it doesn't work, we will find a way. What do you mean? Forced online? "

"I don't understand. It was okay yesterday, but today the more I think about it, the more I don't feel right. Does Linmu Studio have a detailed introduction to the text content of the dual version release?"

"In short, I feel that Linmu Studio is really a bit drifting, and it's too dark! I don't want Linmu Carnival to leave bad memories, it's so annoying!"

"The trial game hasn't been opened yet, maybe because I'm afraid of being scolded?"

"Come to a great god to explain!"

"I just want to make more money, there is nothing to say."

"..."

below the post.

Although the players looked at the pleasant experience brought to them by the carnival in the first two days of Forest Studio
He didn't scold too directly or too harshly.

But players really can't accept it, after all, it doesn't sound very worthwhile.

The difference between the two versions is just that little...but the price is the same.

To hunt all monsters, buy two more versions.

But some new content in another version is not worth the price at all...

So, is this forcing full collection players to buy both versions?

is it necessary?

This game is not like Pokémon, and it does not develop exchange elements.

If you buy one version and want to hunt another version of monsters, but you can't hunt them... the feeling of cheating money comes to you.

Although some players also said that Linmu Studio explained that different monsters have independent maps, and they can be online with friends. If they hunt successfully, they can also get special currency and unlock new costumes.

But if you want to hunt another version of monsters, do you have to go online with friends?That's too much, right?Didn't Linmu Studio consider the fact that players have no friends?
And, it's a good idea.

The dual version of Pokémon is released to exchange Pokémon with different players to fill the illustrated book, and to serve the two core gameplays of collecting and exchanging.

The dual version of Monster Hunter is released to encourage players to hunt monsters that their own version does not have online with their friends. According to the meeting, if the online player successfully hunts, they can also get special currency from the settlement and return to their own version , to unlock new costumes.

But collecting and fighting monsters are not the same thing!
So... basically all players cannot accept it!
In the end, because of the dual release of "Monster Hunter", the dual release of "Pokémon" became acceptable...

No, it should be said that there is no discussion about the release of two versions of "Pokémon".

Because all the firepower was sucked away by "Monster Hunter".

……

"This is a bad move!"

sky fox.

After a short period of bewilderment, Li Guangsheng opened the forum, saw the players' comments, and sighed.

He thought that someone would blow everything in Linmu Studio.

But the truth is unexpected.

Players can't accept the double version, at least the double version of "Monster Hunter" is released, and the players can't accept it.

"Didn't you praise just now that Linmu Studio can really make money?"

Mou Feng squinted at him: "Just now you shouted a genius idea."

"I was subconscious..."

Li Guangsheng was a little embarrassed when he heard the words: "And it sounds really good! One game, two copies..."

"It's not that simple."

Mou Feng shook his head and explained: "In fact, the model of releasing double versions is not in line with business logic. You can see it from the players' reactions. Although we know that doing two versions will not only not reduce the workload, but also More! Just seeing them announce that the kanban girls are different and the monsters are different makes my scalp tingle. Although it is limited to two maps, it is not easy to do. What's more, you have to consider the problem of online settlement with players of different versions .

It must have been a lot of work!And in the end, you also saw that even if so much work was put in, the players would not accept it, because this mode itself has problems. "

"This..." Li Guangsheng glanced at the forum.

"Even if another version of the monster is packaged as a DLC, it is estimated that players will accept it. After all, this is a common practice in the industry... But now, players are faced with two versions that are not much different but released at the same time. Now the studio comes out and says that a game has the volume of two games, and the players will feel a loss."

Mou Feng shook his head slightly: "Because this involves a simple truth, doing this will make players feel that the game they bought is not the full version. After all, the other version does have monsters that this version does not have. You said the size Big? Less content is less content...it makes players feel like they are being forced to buy a double version, you know?"

"Then why would they do it?"

Li Guangsheng frowned slightly, he understood, but he was even more puzzled.

"I don't know, because it's clear that it's a thankless effort... Maybe they really drifted away? They shouldn't be."

Mou Feng shook his head slightly, but couldn't give an answer.

Li Guangsheng: "..."

"Go to the carnival tomorrow and have a look, maybe there will be a new theory."

Mou Feng thought for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out. The only thing that came to his mind was...the other party made a wrong decision.

This is the greatest possibility.

But he thought it was impossible.

In the end, he could only leave such a sentence.

Hearing this, Li Guangsheng didn't say anything, just nodded.

……

"Hahaha, idiot!"

Peria, headquarters.

Deputy Chief He watched the discussion of the players in the local community on the screen, and burst out laughing.

'Forest Carnival' after a long period of foreshadowing.

Of course, it is not limited to the attention of domestic players.

Overseas players also pay attention.

After all, several online games under Linmu Studio are also very popular overseas.

After the grand opening of the carnival, there have been many face-to-face meetings, new versions of many of its online games have been revealed, and there are a bunch of new games.

It's hard not to pay attention.

And after seeing such enthusiasm for a player event organized by Linmu Studio, you said that Fufu He is not envious, that is a lie...

He is very envious!

However, I am envious.

He also wished that Linmu Studio would die immediately...

After all, the switch of Linmu Studio seized the share of the Peria handheld, and took the position of the big brother of the handheld.

of course.

He just didn't dare to say it out loud... After all, "Call of Duty" was launched on all platforms, and it was still very popular.

But deep down in his heart, he really hoped that the other party would die immediately.

And what he never expected was that he was just thinking about it, but he really saw the other party's death behavior...

a game!Released in two versions!
Hahaha!
When Linmu Studio announced this, he laughed out loud on the spot.

I have to say that the model is quite good, earning double money, he wants to like this idea!

But they also don't think about why other manufacturers don't do this!
It's a beautiful idea!

But see?The players scolded directly!
After all, Peria didn't dare to do that!

He also wants to sell two copies of one game, but is this possible?
Innocent!

Oh, wait to die!

Vice-Governor He watched the overwhelming discussion about "Monster Hunter" on the screen, and took a sip of his wine in satisfaction, feeling that he had never been in such a good mood.

And the players, including the deputy chief, don't seem to pay much attention to Pokémon at the moment...

……

Time soon came to the fourth day of the 'Forest Carnival'.

After the announcement of "Pokémon" last night, the discussion about the game's dual-version release model has remained high.

Although most players were not so direct in their criticism because of the Forest Carnival.

But caring is definitely caring.

After all, this thing really sounds like a scam.

So the audience who came to the carnival today are not so excited.

After all, players are human too, and they have different psychological expectations when facing different objects.

For example, if Tianhu said that the game will be released in two versions, it may be fine if the players have scolded it, and it will not be remembered at all.

But Linmu Studio, which has almost no black spots, suddenly has the name of cheating money on its head. This is indeed a big blow to the players who support Linmu Studio.

What's more, almost all the players participating in the forest carnival are core players.

Even for a diehard like Li Yu.

It is inevitable that the mood will be a little low.

but.

Fortunately... Linmu Studio doesn't seem to be pretending to be dead.

As soon as the audience at the forest carnival came to the door today, they were notified by the staff specially guarding the door that there would be a special briefing session.

Lin Yao will come to the stage to personally answer questions about the dual version release of "Monster Hunter".

Including many viewers who got up early to watch the live broadcast of the forest carnival. When they opened the live broadcast room, they also saw that the title of the live broadcast room had changed.

Today, in front of all the processes, a special briefing session was inserted.

The special briefing will explain the issues related to the dual version release of "Monster Hunter".

This directly shocked all players.

And the situation of the venue.

It's also completely different from the previous days.

All the players who came to the venue almost didn't queue up for the trial game, but all ran to the main stage.

It's not until eight o'clock.

The auditorium on the main stage was full.

You can see it.

How much players pay attention to the double version.

offstage.

Li Guangsheng and Mou Feng also came.

The two sat in the middle and looked at the stage.

"Tell me, how will they solve this problem this time?" Li Guangsheng asked suddenly.

"Two ways."

Mou Feng thought for a while and replied: "The first way is to pretend to be dead, but this way is useless. After all, now that the special explanation sessions are open, there is only one way... Try to let more players accept double The version mainly highlights the difference between the two versions, and does not require players to buy the two versions, and then relies on Lin Yao's personality charm to minimize the impact of the matter. After all, the carnival is quite successful, and there are still players who are willing to buy it .”

"Then what is the success rate of doing this?"

Li Guangsheng asked curiously.

"do not know."

Mou Feng shook his head lightly: "But it's probably enough, if you really do this, Lin Yao's reputation will probably be affected after this time."

"Hmm..." Li Guangsheng looked towards the stage, and after a moment of silence, at this moment that should have been a joyful moment, for some reason, he couldn't laugh.

After all, no one knows what the future holds, and no one knows what players want.

Many times, what I take for granted may suffer backlash as soon as it is announced...

He has also encountered such a thing.

Seeing that Li Guangsheng didn't speak, Mou Feng glanced at him curiously, but didn't think too much, and quickly turned his head to look at the stage.

soon.

As the time points to eight o'clock.

Lin Yao came out.

No bells and whistles this time around.

Lin Yao appeared directly in front of everyone and stood on the stage.

"Sorry... Some staff members didn't make it clear about the dual versions of "Monster Hunter", so I will add."

As soon as Lin Yao came out, she apologized.

Her act of apologizing as soon as she came out caused some commotion.

There were also more noisy voices from the audience.

After Lin Yao took a deep breath, she continued: "The "Monster Hunter" caused a lot of trouble to you the day before yesterday."

"Yesterday, I summarized some of the most puzzling questions you have. Next, I will answer them one by one, and then there will be a question-and-answer session at the end. If you still have doubts, you can add them later."

"First of all, there is a problem that the monsters of the two versions are different. If you want to hunt all the monsters, you need to buy two versions, although the staff explained.

But it's really not clear enough, let me explain again... Players don't need to buy two versions of the game, because buying a single version can also hunt all monsters! "

"???"

As soon as Lin Yao said this, everyone had question marks on their heads.

Lin Yao said softly: "To put it simply, we are in the process of merging intensively, and this part of the game content will be released in the form of free updates later, which means——

No matter which version the player buys, they will receive a free update push one month after the game is released. At that time, the independent two-person monster map will be updated and expanded, adding all the monsters of another version.

In other words, players who purchase a single version can hunt monsters in another version alone after one month. After one month, the two versions will have no difference in game content except for the appearance of some NPCs.

This is a problem caused by the large amount of content, and it really can't fit... We can only update it online. "

"what!!?"

When Mou Feng heard this, he couldn't help but make a sound.

What does this mean?

And the audience in the audience was also messy.

"Then why wait a month?"

at last.

Some players couldn't help but ask.

"In this regard, our original intention was to encourage players to communicate online. We also mentioned at the meeting that day that if you help another player hunt two monsters that are unique for a limited time online, you will get a special currency and unlock the NPC shop. Special clothing."

Lin Yao looked at the player and explained: "This is the purpose of our dual version, and this gameplay will be retained after the update push is completed."

"In addition, everyone should understand the update patch push date I just mentioned."

Lin Yao continued: "We don't intend to force players to buy dual versions. Our original intention is to encourage players to strengthen communication. We also said at the time that the content of this game will be very unexpected. This game will not There will be no additional content in the future, because the DLC we plan is already included in it. If it is only a light player, I can guarantee that the content can fully support the patch push.

Of course, if the player strongly wants to experience all the monsters of the two versions at the first time and cannot wait for the online update, we also have another solution, that is - to buy the digital version of the game, if the player buys the two versions together, the game price will be reduced With a direct [-]% discount, players only need to pay for one game to get two versions of the game. "

Senseless.

Both Mou Feng and Li Guangsheng were dumbfounded.

Especially the former.

Of course, the player breathed a sigh of relief. Although he vaguely felt that something was wrong, he was basically relieved when he heard Lin Yao's words.

Understood.

So this is ah.

The content is too large.

Then encourage online play. The dual version release is just a gimmick. After all, it’s just a different cover, and some NPCs are different, just like a collector’s edition.

And wait for Lin Yao to apologize again, and then said that she will consider continuing to update the patch in the future, after adding a switchable function to the Kanban girl's skin.

The players have all laughed.

But Mou Feng was still confused.

No.

Why? ? ?

If this continues, what is the point of dual versions?

Just to encourage players to connect?
Fuck!How much extra work does tm have to do?His scalp tingles just thinking about it!

And there is a killer move.

[-]% off the direct price!
So why?

Mou Feng couldn't figure it out, and he didn't believe Lin Yao's explanation either.

Encouraging players to connect online is too expensive...

And the other side.

Lin Yao is still explaining.

And as several key issues are explained clearly.

All players come alive.

After Lin Yao said that the demos of "Monster Hunter" and "Pokémon" will be released today, all the players immediately cheered...

On to the question-and-answer session that follows.

Because Lin Yao explained too clearly, the player didn't ask a few serious questions, so he missed it.

Don't pay attention to "Monster Hunter" at all.

The third player even directly asked Lin Yao's criteria for choosing a spouse, and was stared down by Lin Yao...

The other party doesn't mind either.

After all, there is no lethality.

The entire venue became a sea of ​​joy again.

After all... After listening to the explanation, Linmu Studio didn't seem to have done anything outrageous.

It's just to encourage players to connect online, although it feels a bit redundant, it seems that the release version can also encourage players to connect...

But too much content is indeed a problem.

They can't help it either.

In short.

If you need to buy two versions, you can buy one version if you don’t need it. Anyway, after one month, the main difference is that the cover is different from the Kanban girl, just choose according to your own XP.

If you have friends, you can shop for special costumes online, but if you don't have friends... then what can you do if you don't have friends, don't.

Anyway, Lin Yaoming said that this game will not have additional content, and it is guaranteed to be full, and all monsters will be completed in a month.

You can have fun without friends!

Think about it this way.

Lin Mu Studio is too conscientious!
In order to encourage players to make friends online, it has achieved this level, and even painstakingly split the exact same game into two parts, and made a bunch of new appearances.

and so.

The players are all happy.

The posts hanging on the forum yesterday also changed from cheating money to being awesome at Linmu Studio...

Although some people still feel that...it's superfluous, the vast majority of players really can't resist the dual version release.

As for Mou Feng, he was still in place.

He witnessed Lin Yao's exit with his own eyes, and then watched the players return to their joyful appearances, and started to line up in the trial area in full swing.

Then he reacted abruptly.

"Fuck!" He slapped his thigh violently.

Li Guangsheng turned his head: "What are you doing?"

"I understand!"

Mou Feng quickly took out his mobile phone and opened the player forum.

really.

The above is about the double release of Pokémon!No one mentioned it!
Because players don't pay attention at all.

After all, all eyes are drawn to Monster Hunter.

And Linmu Studio also gave a satisfactory response to all players.

But the problem is, "Pokémon" didn't say anything about follow-up patches!And it is also a dual version release!

"What do you know?" Li Guangsheng was still confused.

"Pokémon! This is a new release mode that challenges players! It's just like that!"

Mou Feng turned his head back: "They are just gambling!! This tm is to block the gun for Pokémon!!!"

Li Guangsheng: "...?"
