Zhong Hao is an old netizen.

I remember when I first started surfing the Internet, Zhong Hao was very interested in everything on the Internet. Nothing to browse the web or chat with people on TT. These are very peculiar to Zhong Hao. He never imagined that the Internet could be so magical.

Later, Zhong Hao began to get in touch with online games.

When the game character continues to grow in another virtual world, this feeling firmly attracts Zhong Hao. For this reason, whenever he has time, Zhong Hao will devote himself to the upgrade of online games. Because, he wants to make his character stronger in this virtual world.

Before you know it, two years have passed.

Zhong Hao didn't understand anything at the beginning, and slowly became an old bird. In this process, Zhong Hao's understanding of online games has also changed from a simple upgrade to an exploration of entertainment. For this reason, Zhong Hao often tries to play new games in China. And, when trying to play, you will write a playable surname report.

Because of this, Zhong Hao was originally just an unknown gamer. Among these more objective trial reports, a small one became famous. Many game developers also invite Zhong Hao from time to time when the game is in beta. Please Zhong Hao try to play their online games, and this bell trial has a certain reward.

Zhong Hao likes this kind of life very much, but he has always regarded this fun as a hobby. It didn't become a profession, but there was a lot of time spent in games every week.

With the deepening of research, among dozens of online games in China, Zhong Hao almost understands the current situation of domestic online games.

Basically, almost most of the game companies, in order to seize the current game market. In terms of developing games, they are not doing very well. A lot of places are very rough, not only in the picture, but also in the gameplay, which is also very simple. For an old bird like Zhong Hao, if evaluated as a player, Zhong Hao is not very fond of most domestic games.

The only game that Zhong Hao likes is the ethereal journey of the Tang Dynasty network.

This is the only online game that Zhong Hao has not studied thoroughly, and it is also a game that Zhong Hao has been constantly exploring.

Today, Zhong Hao entered the ethereal journey precisely to find out the task system in the "ethereal journey".

In addition to the excellent graphics, the most surprising thing about the Ethereal Journey is the mission system.

Judging from the current situation of players, the mission system of Ethereal Journey has his random surname. When you accept a mission, you will change the direction of the mission due to the difference in time and place. Of course, with Zhong Hao's research in the past few months. Although the tasks changed from time to time, he concluded that their general direction remained the same.

It's just that even if the direction is studied, Zhong Hao still can't grasp the specific details. Because it is related to random surnames, Zhong Hao is even more unable to make a specific strategy.

"Alas, still a failure."

It took another morning, but Zhong Hao still couldn't figure it out.

Actually, there was no need to study this. The random surname of the mission also makes the playability of the ethereal journey reach a high standard. It's not beautiful to come up with any strategies or the like. However, Zhong Hao has developed such a habit. When he saw a game, he wanted to dissect it thoroughly, so as to see the essence of the game.

Zhong Hao quit the game, logged in to 17173, and recorded some of the data detected today into his own chronicles. Because, there are also some players like Zhong Hao, who also do the same tasks as Zhong Hao.

"Journey to the West."

One more new game.

Since April, major domestic games have blossomed everywhere. First of all, the elves of NetEase's agent, and the emergence of new/wave rivers and lakes, and a series of games that have been rumored for a long time "Swordsman Love" have poured into the market. This Fantasy Journey to the West, if Zhong Hao remembers correctly, should be the seventh game in April.

"Let's try it out again in the evening."

After the morning test just now, Zhong Hao was a little tired. Although there are many games launched in April, none of them have won Zhong Hao's eyes. Even if it is a game of Xin/Langda playing the Jianghu card, in fact, this game is just a "Jianghu" name, and there is not much innovation in a series of other gameplay.

It's the swordsman love ol, and all the plots in the stand-alone game have been moved to the online game. As a fan of the stand-alone version of Swordsman's Love, Zhong Hao still likes these plots when he sees them.

It's a pity that the swordsman love pays too much attention to the gameplay on the plot. But some rookie players are omitted, and for many players, they have not played the stand-alone version of Swordsman Love. A large number of game tasks are placed in the eyes of these rookie players, and their heads are dizzy to watch. In addition, the novice guide task of Swordsman Love is not very good, and it is even more difficult for some novices.

Zhong Hao believes that all game manufacturers should learn from the ethereal journey.

Just when Zhong Hao closed the webpage casually, suddenly eight big characters appeared on the screen, appearing in front of Zhong Hao's eyes.

"Produced in the Tang Dynasty, it must be a high-quality product."

What, a game from the Tang Dynasty network?

Zhong Hao was a little excited.

I have long heard that Tang Dynasty Network is making a game, but for a long time, Tang Dynasty Network has not announced it to the public. Unexpectedly, it was finally thrown out today.

"I didn't say it, the works of the Tang Dynasty network must be tried."

Seeing the eight big characters of the Tang Dynasty, it must be a high-quality product, also ignited Zhong Hao's passion. What a fatigue instant message. Soon, Zhong Hao landed on the official homepage of Fantasy Journey to the West, and first chose to download the client. It's just a pity that the current download speed is only 100k, and it takes at least four or five hours to download Fantasy Westward Journey to your local computer.

However, now Zhong Hao was stimulated by the works of the Tang Dynasty Internet, and his whole body was full of passion. Coupled with today's rest, Zhong Hao has time. I don't care about anything anymore, just let him continue downloading.

Subsequently, taking advantage of the free time he was downloading, Zhong Hao came to the official battle point of Fantasy Journey to the West to learn about the information first.

"2D round."

This is the game category of Fantasy Journey to the West.

Zhong Hao frowned secretly, not very optimistic in his heart, "How did the Tang Dynasty Network come up with a 2D round game." ”

Zhong Hao has tried to play 2D turn-based games, from You Long's "The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes" to Journey to the West, Zhong Hao has experienced it in it. In terms of Zhong Hao's personal hobbies, in fact, whether it is a round or not, he has his playable surname. Just, for the 2d round. Because the way of fighting is turn-based, whether it is PK or fighting monsters, it is a turn-based way. For novice players, they simply can't read it.

They may ask, what's so interesting about this game of you hitting me and I'll beat you?

Of course, for Zhong Hao, he really wants to tell others that there are many playable surnames in the 2D round. Whether it's a battle, or the communication during the battle, it's all very interesting. It's a pity that rookie players don't understand. Wouldn't such a turn-based game directly reject some other rookie players? In Zhong Hao's investigation, he discovered. Those who like to play 2D turn-based games will also play other games. However, if you like MMORPG games, you don't necessarily like turn-based games.

Judging from Zhong Hao's understanding, this 2D round game launched by Tang Dynasty Network is inherently weaker than other games.

However, Zhong Hao is still relatively confident in the games of the Tang Dynasty Network. Although he didn't know why Tang Dynasty Network would choose the 2D round, Tang Dynasty Network also had its own plans. If you stand from a different perspective, you may consider different issues. For this question, Zhong Hao is not entangled.

Whether a game is popular or not, the key is in the game. Just like the game Ethereal Journey, he can attract thousands of players with just a few random ads. And games of the same caste, I'm afraid it's a month of advertising bombardment every day, and it doesn't necessarily have a good effect on the ethereal journey.

Zhong Hao values the playable surname of a game the most. So, Zhong Hao planned to take a look at the graphics of this game first.

Of course, this is not to say that a good game is a good game if the graphics are well done. Because, for the players. The same kind of game, they simply can't tell who is higher and who is lower in the playable surname between the two games. At this time, it is up to the picture to decide.

"The beautiful picture of the Q version is great, and there are almost no repetitions."

With such a picture, there is hardly any work in the same kind of game that can compare with it.

If it weren't for the ethereal journey before, I'm afraid Zhong Hao would have jumped up now. However, even after seeing the picture of the ethereal journey, Zhong Hao is full of praise for the picture of the dream journey to the west. Moreover, as mentioned above, "All the game maps in Fantasy Journey to the West are purely handmade, and it was not until later that particle systems and perspective technology were added." ”

This can be regarded as a gimmick.

This also proves that Tang Dynasty Network is still Tang Dynasty Network, and his games have always adhered to the strategy of high-quality games.

Seeing this, Zhong Hao began to have confidence in the Fantasy Journey to the West.

Because, from this fantasy journey to the west, Zhong Hao has understood. Tang Dynasty Network has always maintained his boutique brand, whether it is the first ethereal journey to appear, or this fantasy journey to the west launched after becoming famous.

The picture is very ok, Zhong Hao has no evaluation, 100% satisfied.

Below, that's the gameplay.

A 2D turn-based game, the most important thing is how to play. It's not like other MMORPG games, even if it's a simple monster fight, even if the graphics are bad, there will still be a lot of people coming to try it out. If a turn-based game doesn't have much content and doesn't have any innovation in gameplay, then it will definitely fail.

Just like the legend of Jin Yong's heroes in Youlong, after the launch of Journey to the West. The number of people in this game has been declining.

Zhong Hao believes that the reason for the continuous decline in the number of Jin Yong's heroes, in addition to the fact that Journey to the West was pushed out for the Tang Dynasty Company, has a lot to do with the rich gameplay of Journey to the West.

"Hey, how is the Fantasy Journey to the West similar to the Journey to the West?"

At this time, Zhong Hao found a problem. That is, Fantasy Journey to the West is very similar to Journey to the West, with a similarity of more than 70%.

Could it be that this is Journey to the West 2?

For Journey to the West, Zhong Hao actually likes it very much. The reason is that there are rich gameplay in Journey to the West, but unfortunately the picture is very bad. Moreover, the newcomer guidance task is not good enough. In this way, it has also hindered countless players. At that time, if Zhong Hao hadn't wanted to experience the real gameplay of this game, he would have tried it for more than ten minutes, and he wouldn't want to play.

Fortunately, in the end, Zhong Hao finally discovered that Journey to the West is really an undeveloped piece of jade. No wonder Tang Dynasty Network wants to buy back the Westward Journey in the hands of NetEase. Now that the fantasy Journey to the West appeared, Zhong Hao just glanced at it and thought of Journey to the West 2. Otherwise, why would Tang Dynasty Network buy NetEase's games?

Is it just to make some money by talking about Journey to the West?

With Zhong Hao's understanding of the Tang Dynasty network, this is impossible to happen. Now the appearance of the Fantasy Journey to the West also confirms Zhong Hao's thoughts. Perhaps, this Fantasy Journey to the West has made great innovations on the basis of the Journey to the West. It's like changing the half-life bar to create a Counter-Strike.

Zhong Hao is looking forward to such an idea.
