Chapter 192 Don’t be afraid, newbies, there are good people here!

"Global Evolution" is a game whose popularity outweighs its sales.

To be precise, all games that sell for more than 200 yuan are basically more popular than sold, and more people pay attention to them than buy and play them.

The reason is one word: expensive!

For a game at this price, everyone will envy its picture quality, like its gameplay, and discuss its plot settings... but there are only a few people who are actually willing to pay for it.

"This should be our studio's first game with overseas sales exceeding domestic sales, right?"

"Remove the word should!"

Chen Ba said speechlessly: "The data is displayed so intuitively, what do you still doubt?"

In one week, the overseas sales of "Global Evolution" across all platforms exceeded 1.1 million copies, and the domestic sales across all platforms were approximately 500,000 copies. The cumulative sales volume was approximately 1.6 million copies, and the cumulative revenue was approximately 550 million yuan.

Looking at the sales ratio alone, 110:50 does not seem to be such a big gap. After all, overseas sales are only a little more than twice as much.

But if you look at the revenue ratio data, it is outrageous. Overseas revenue accounts for more than 85%!

“The overseas version is too expensive!”

"And to be honest, this sales performance is relatively poor for a 3A-level game."

Yang Dong explained: "For normal 3A games, the sales volume in the first week is several times ours."

Don't look at the 5 to 6 billion earned in a week. It sounds like an exaggerated profit, but not all of the money goes to Tianba Studio. Only the sales revenue from the Nobug platform is 100% owned by Tianba Studio.

Excluding the commission from each platform, the actual amount obtained after tax is less than half.

Then here comes the problem!

Why, as a 3A game, does "Global Evolution" have less sales than other 3A games? It failed to break 2 million copies in the first week, which is a bit shabby to say the least...

"It's still a question of trust."

Yang Dong made a careful analysis and felt that the reason for the poor performance of "Global Evolution" in the first week was mainly because most players did not know "Tianba Studio".

If you don’t know someone, you will be suspicious and doubt whether the other party has the ability to make a 3A-level game.

This kind of skeptical attitude will give rise to an idea when facing the standard 3A price of 60 US dollars: If you have the money to buy a Big Dead Redemption 3, why not? Isn’t it nice to buy a GTA6?

Anyway, the price difference is not big.

How famous are Red Dead Redemption 3 and GTA6?

It's definitely not a loss to buy these two games. It's a bit risky to buy "Global Evolution" whose name I've never heard of, and I'm not sure whether it's fun or not. Even the developer doesn't know it.

"you're right……"

Chen Ba did not deny that this problem does exist, that is, the reputation of Tianba Studio is too low, and it has never launched a 3A game before, causing overseas players not to buy it very much.

Not to mention overseas players, domestic players should buy it or not.

In other words, even old fans of old games have doubts about Tianba Studio's development of 3A games and decided to wait and see before buying it. How can it be so easy for casual players to buy it?

Of course, this is the first week of data.

As time goes by, especially as the bugs in the game become more severe and the level BOSS evolved by players makes many jokes, things should improve in the second week.

"I have discovered that many hardcore single-player players who like to play Souls-like and Souls-like games seem to be aroused by "Global Evolution" to be competitive."

"what's the situation?"

Because Yang Dong was busy doing major version updates and maintenance for "Speed" these two days, he didn't surf the Internet in time, so he couldn't quite understand what Chen Ba meant.

What does it mean to arouse a competitive spirit?

Isn’t “Global Evolution” a role-playing game that focuses on open-world exploration and adventure? Why is it related to hardcore Souls-like games and Souls-like games?

"The thing is like this..."

"Isn't there a bug in our game? Players can evolve into level bosses!"

Chen Ba briefly introduced what happened.

In fact, it is simple to say. It is nothing more than a group of players who were tortured by the level boss of "Global Evolution" until they fainted. Then they recorded a video and posted it to various platforms, complaining about the abnormal difficulty of this game.

"This is the level BOSS of our "Global Evolution". It's really cunning and cunning. Do you have such a BOSS?"

When you post a video, you definitely want to gain more attention and increase the number of views and replies to the video.

Therefore, the content and titles of these videos are often suspected of "deliberately provoking war." In short, there are various hints inside and outside the words, and the level BOSS of "Global Evolution" is the most difficult and hardcore, and no other games can do it.

Players of soul-based and soul-like games who have always regarded themselves as hard-core and high-difficulty were naturally unhappy when they heard this.

What kind of bullshit dares to boast so much? Do you dare to compare it with my favorite XX game?

You're making a fool of yourself, right?

This kind of war was just a small-circle behavior at first. After all, some people were really arrogant when recording videos and said whatever they thought of.

"The difficulty of "Global Evolution" is higher than that of XX games, don't you believe it? How dare you say that it is a hard-core and difficult BOSS?"

As the scolding war between players on both sides escalated, the situation suddenly expanded.

Players of Souls games and Souls-like games have given the players of "Global Evolution" the nickname "Ball Batch".

The players of "Global Evolution" are also not convinced. They feel that these old guys are completely living in their own world and making trouble when fighting the personal boss!

If you have the ability, come and fight the level BOSS played by players in our "Global Evolution". If you can pass it in one go, then I will admit that you are indeed a hardcore player.

"Ah this..."

When Yang Dong heard this, he already guessed how the subsequent plot would develop.

Is Global Evolution difficult?

If the game was just released, the difficulty was really not high. You only need to master the easy difficulty. Remember a few key points to defeat each plot boss.

But today is different!

Due to an abnormal bug in the game, some players evolved and replaced the original plot level BOSS, so the difficulty of the game was immediately upgraded.

Playing against a human machine is indeed a different experience than playing against a player.

At least the human and machine won't play tricks on you, let alone play tricks on you. If you follow the strategy, you will definitely be able to survive if you die a few times.

Although the level BOSS played by the player still has the same value, the operational level is completely different...

"That's right!"

Chen Ba confirmed Dong Ge's guess and couldn't help but smile and said: "These hardcore players of Souls-like games and Souls-like games bought a copy of "Global Evolution" with the idea of ​​​​slapping them in the face."

"They originally thought that this kind of game that only requires hands-on skills can be easily completed in less than two hours. By then, they will not only slap the ball in the face, but also initiate a refund without any loss!"

"Do you even know what's the most perverted thing? The most perverted thing is that they confidently chose the hell difficulty level as soon as they arrived..."

Having said this, even Yang Dong didn't hold back and smiled.

Are you really confident?

He is indeed the most hardcore player on the Internet and loves to challenge difficult games. His courage is truly extraordinary.

pity……

"Global Evolution" is really different from the games they played before!

The level BOSS here is not an idiot who has no wisdom and only knows how to act according to the preset logic, but a cunning and evil player.

no doubt.

These players who want to prove that they are hardcore and that "Global Evolution" is enough, have all exceeded the game's refund time limit.

"Brother, I was wrong!"

"You are right, so right! "Global Evolution" is indeed the most hardcore game. I shouldn't question you..."

How tough he was when he spoke, now he is so desperate and helpless when encountering those player bosses in hell difficulty.

What a shame!

These player bosses are all like veterans. They not only know the art of war and tactics, but they even know how to cheat.

That's right, using fake moves to deceive players' dodge and counterattack skills.

If you are deceived, then wait to die! The bosses in these levels are all players. They know very well what life-saving skills you have, so there is no psychological burden when attacking you secretly.

Originally, the panel values ​​​​of these level BOSS are very exaggerated, and then given human wisdom, it creates an unprecedented level of difficulty: player level!

That’s right!

As more and more hardcore players rush to the streets and fall under the clutches of BOSS, "Global Evolution" is usually excluded when the gaming circle discusses hardcore and difficult games.

Are we talking about a hammer?

When you were discussing whether the boss of "Global Evolution" was difficult or not, the boss of Global Evolution was looking at your post in front of the computer. What is the significance of this discussion?

There is no strategy available.

It’s not like no one has tried to make game guides, but as soon as these guides came out, players immediately discovered that the bosses in these levels had changed their play style.

Players have not yet memorized all the weaknesses and precautions mentioned in the guide, but the bosses of these levels are better than they remember.

This guide is a waste of time!

But having said that, although 99% of the strategies are to help BOSS players find out and fill in the gaps, and will not have any effect on ordinary players, there are also strategy posts written by experts, which are indeed of great use.

This kind of strategy post will not teach you how to fight BOSS in a textbook style, but teach you how to adapt to changes and how to deal with some emergencies or fatal crises.

At the same time, we also carefully analyzed the information on the bosses in these levels and developed a set of long- and short-range combat techniques for different boss sizes.

It doesn't matter if these strategies are seen by BOSS players, because these strategies teach operational thinking and adaptability.

Ordinary players cannot copy the homework, they can only rely on enlightenment. Not only must they understand, but they must also try more and die more. Only by trying more and not being afraid of death can they pass the level.

"Has someone already cleared the level?"

"Yes, there are quite a few!"

Chen Ba explained: "The process of our game is not very long to begin with. If it were easy difficulty, someone would have cleared it a few days ago and started the second round of play."

It's not difficult to pass.

Even if the level BOSS is replaced by the player, if you want to pass the game on easy difficulty, you can die a few more times.

But after clearing the level, most players will choose to increase the difficulty for latecomers, open a new file and transform into the game BOSS, which is a bit speechless.

The first batch of players to pass the level must be very hard-core players with passable skills.

They pass the level by themselves, and then become the boss of the game to stop others and prevent others from passing the level. This approach can usually only be described in one sentence: Because you have been caught in the rain, you have to tear off the umbrella of the latecomer!

"broken!"

"If we continue like this, there won't be fewer and fewer players who can pass "Global Evolution", right?" Yang Dong couldn't laugh or cry.

"How should I put it? I don't know if there will be fewer players who have cleared the level. I only know that there will definitely be more BOSS than players in this game."

Chen Ba looked sad.

As game sales increase, there is no need to worry about this problem for the time being. But if sales gradually stabilize, the number of "inappropriate" players will definitely be greater than ordinary players.

It’s so cool not to be a human being!

The BOSS's panel values ​​and strength are much stronger than the player templates of the same level, and it can be advanced by killing players, so there is no need to worry about the strength being unable to continue to improve.

But if players cease to be human beings, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow and heavy damage to the entire game ecosystem.

Just think about it.

When the time comes, nine of the ten players will evolve into the game BOSS, and there will be only one normal person. So do you have to think about how these nine BOSS players will "abuse" this normal player?

“The good times are yet to come!”

"In other words, the current "Global Evolution" is not in its complete form. After a while, new players will experience what despair is..."

What does the perfect body look like?

Chen Ba tried to deduce it in his mind, and then sighed.

Xiao Ming, a classmate, heard that "Global Evolution" is very fun, so he bought the game with great joy and decided to give it a good experience.

As a result, not long after entering the game, he encountered a wild BOSS in the wilderness and was tortured until his scalp went numb.

[Mengxin report, please ask all the masters, how to survive the early stage of this game? Where can I find community guide posts? 】

After posting a request for help, Xiao Ming fully expected that veteran players would enthusiastically reply to the post and teach him step by step how to play the game.

However……

"Newcomer? Let's go!"

"I smell the scent of human beings, quack, quack, you're actually a newbie? If I kill one more player, I can be promoted to the King of Sea Beasts. God help me!"

"Jie Jie Jie! Don't be afraid if you are a newbie. We are all good people. Playing this game is very simple. Just follow the main storyline without thinking and pass the plot. I will wait for you at the edge of the cliff!"

"It is our duty to recast the glory of the ferocious beast! You are new, right? Don't let me meet your stubbornness..."

what's the situation?

Why are these old players so different from what he thinks? Shouldn't you be very enthusiastic about teaching him how to play and send him various strategies and teaching posts?

Xiao Ming was puzzled.

After he had been playing the game for two days and was ravaged by all the old players, he finally understood why the old players on the forum were so excited when they saw the newbies.

No, I was fooled!

Xiao Ming wants a refund and leaves this terrifying world surrounded by countless old monsters, where newbies can only be eaten as food by old players.

As a result, it turns out that the game time exceeds the limit and cannot be refunded.

Now it’s really shipped!
