Chapter 59: What About the World's Enemies?
The ratings of various game magazines, the total score is 10 points, the average game can get a score of seven or eight points, and the score of Plants vs. Zombies is five points, which is too low, so low that people can't bear to look at it directly.
Hearing Fang Xi say with some annoyance that there was only a five-point rating, Ye Chui's subconscious reaction was: ", the game rating can also be manipulated?" β
-- Ye Chui doesn't believe that the score of Plants vs. Zombies is only five points, which is absolutely unreasonable, when Ye Chui first developed the game, there was no game rating mechanism for this set, but at that time there was an online rating, every game of Ye Chui is more than nine points, Plants vs. Zombies is still one that Ye Chui picked out from countless classic games, and the score is only five points?
So there's definitely something greasy in there!
"Obviously rigged." Eva also said indignantly, "Previously, Wu Cao Game Company's Sword Demon Rebirth scored 9.5 points, and Wu Haotian obviously bought off several magazines and deliberately stumbled us. β
"I'm!" Fang Nan shouted angrily, "And just now you said that Huang Xiaoming can't play, what's going on?" Wu Haotian even restricted Huang Xiaoming from playing? β
Ye Chui said in a deep voice the rule that minors are not allowed to participate.
After listening to this, the studio became angry again, knowing that a person is shameless, but how can a person be so shameless?
unexpectedly issued such a regulation, deliberately restricting Huang Xiaoming's qualifications to participate in the competition.
Ye Chui hurriedly comforted everyone and said the characteristics of the Dota game, even if there is no Huang Xiaoming this time. The team may not be able to lose, so he comforted him, and finally talked about the rating, Ye Chui said to Fang Xi: "You can show me the ratings of major magazines." β
"This is it." Fang Xi quickly found a tabular document and handed it to Ye Chui, which contained the ratings of various game magazines on Plants vs. Zombies, as well as some editors-in-chief's evaluations.
"Professor Fork's new work in ten months, to be honest, I was full of anticipation before opening the game, but when I actually started playing it, I found that this was a game that disappointed me a lot, and it has long lost the excitement of Professor Fork's previous games. While playing this game, I can't help but askβProfessor Fork, what's wrong with you?" β
- Yu-Gi-Oh Magazine. Rated 2.5.
"Trash! It's a garbage game, bad music, bad graphics, bad levels. Terrible script. If it weren't for the fact that this game bears the name of Professor Fork. I wouldn't even play it! I give this game 2 points to the highest command! β
- Game Hero Magazine, rated 2 points.
"It's a disaster in the history of the game, and I recommend that no one play it. Because that's going to make you regret it! Professor Fork once started the game industry, but now he has brought us a disaster, if this plant vs. zombie can succeed, then I think it will be a misfortune for our game industry! β
- Boutique Game Weekly, rated 3 points.
β¦β¦
A total of ten game magazines participated in the rating of Plants vs. Zombies, and the ratings of almost every magazine were very popular, and Ye Tuo couldn't help frowning when he read them, and the ratings of these magazines were all two or three points, three or four points without exception.
But what made Ye Chui feel a little strange was that at the end of the ten magazines, there was a magazine called Game Journal, which actually gave a 10 rating - if it weren't for this 10 point evaluation, the overall score of Plants vs. Zombies might have been even smaller.
And look at the comments of this game journal: "This Plants vs. Zombies is a very fun and interesting game, playing this game makes people feel a kind of fork Professor is really still a treasure knife, this is really a good game that people can't get enough of, I highly recommend everyone to play this game, believe me, you will definitely not be disappointed!" β
Almost every one of the ten magazines mocked Plants vs. Zombies, but this game magazine did the opposite, praising the game.
Ye Chui pointed to the form and said to Fang Xi: "What's going on with this game magazine?" β
"Game Chronicles? This is a small magazine, which was just established this year, and only recently obtained the qualification of a review magazine, and its weekly sales seem to be about 100,000, and its influence is the smallest. Fang Xi explained that although this magazine is the only one that says good things about Plants vs. Zombies, the influence of this game magazine is too small.
"Can you get in touch with them?" Ye Chui felt that this was a breakthrough, "Maybe we can figure out through them why other magazines are falling into the hole for us." β
Fang Xi heard Ye Chui's words and immediately nodded: "Okay, I'll find a way to contact them." β
Now Fang Xi is already a very successful hacker, and when it comes to hacking skills, he is not even much worse than Eva, and it only took a few minutes to find the communication number of the editor-in-chief of Game Magazine from the Internet.
This is a young man surnamed Liu.
Ye Chui immediately applied for communication, and the communication was quickly connected.
"Hello?" A puzzled voice came from the other side, "May I ask who you are?" β
"I'm Ye Hang." Ye Trai said with a faint smile, it's not that he is narcissistic, but that there are very few people in the mixed game world who don't know his name now.
Sure enough, after hearing the name Ye Chui, Editor-in-Chief Liu was stunned for two seconds and immediately shouted in surprise: "Ye Chui ...... Are you a fork professor leaf lobe? β
"That's right, that's me." Ye Chui said, "Editor-in-Chief Liu thank you for your strong support of Plants vs. Zombies. β
"No, I'm being honest, this game is really good!" Editor-in-Chief Liu said immediately, but there was a bit of anger in his voice, "My ratings are very fair, without any personal feelings!" β
"Yes." Ye Trai heard from Editor-in-Chief Liu's words that these words were very sincere and serious, but Ye Trai was even more incomprehensible, he asked tentatively, "What about the other magazines, Editor-in-Chief Liu, do you know what's going on?" β
It is impossible for the human senses to be so surprised, since the editor-in-chief Liu is very complimented by this game, there is no reason why other magazines would have such a bad attitude towards this game.
And when he heard this, Editor-in-Chief Liu suddenly became angry: "Because they are afraid!" β
"Scared?"
"That's right, before Plants vs. Zombies handed us over for scoring, the editor-in-chief of Manga Warrior magazine was with us at a meeting where he called on us not to buy your account!" Editor-in-Chief Liu said angrily.
Ye Chui was a little puzzled: "Why?" Did someone buy them off on purpose? β
"No, no one bought them!" Editor-in-Chief Liu said coldly, "It's they who are still afraid of you!" β
"Afraid of me?" Ye Chui was even more strange, "Afraid of me, so you gave me a low score?" β
"That's right!" Editor-in-Chief Liu said a fact in a deep voice, "You started the game industry, and even in the initial period of time, the game was synonymous with you, and the first thing that people think of when mentioning games is your name, and this scene has gradually changed in the ten months since you disappeared, and more and more people have joined the game industry, but they are afraid that after you come back, the game industry will return to the way it was before, and they are afraid that you will be in the game industry again!" β
Editor-in-Chief Liu's words made Ye Chui feel a little inexplicable: "So, the reason why these game magazines give me so few ratings is because they are afraid of me?" β
"That's right!" Editor-in-Chief Liu made no secret of his disdain in his voice, "This score actually appeared before they played Plants vs. Zombies!" I even doubt that when you sent the game to a couple of game magazines, they ever tried the game! β
ββAfter the game was completed, Fang Xi had already sent the game to several magazines for trial play in accordance with the process, and now every game basically has to go through this step.
Ye Chui talked to Editor-in-Chief Liu for a few more words and ended the newsletter.
His correspondent Fang Xi and others also heard it, and when they heard this conclusion, everyone's reaction was different.
"So it seems that this time it's not Wu Haotian who is secretly stumbling, but these magazines are deliberately working against us?" Fang Xi said with a gloomy face, "How can they do this? It's because I'm afraid that you'll reign in the game industry again, so I deliberately smear Brother Fork's game? β
Ye Trai is the god of the game industry, and people are born with some disgust and resistance to this goal destined to stand on their shoulders, so when Ye Trai returned to everyone's sight, the major game magazines were unified with a certain goal, they didn't want to see Ye Trai above them because of some ideas, this is the common will of a certain class of people in the game industry, wanting to make Ye Trai completely fall and unable to rise.
This is...... The enemy of the world?
"But then again." Eva said thoughtfully, "These people will belittle Brother Fork's game like this, which actually shows that they are afraid of Brother Fork in their hearts." β
"That's true." Fang Nan has calmed down, she is a girl who is occasionally very irritable, but it doesn't mean that he will always be irritable, when she encounters something serious, she will still return to calm in an instant, she analyzed, "According to some surveys, now players play games 30% of the way through the magazine rating, the low rating of the magazine is just a reduction of 30% of the fans for us, the most important thing is that the most important thing for the fans of the game is word of mouth, if the reputation of the game goes up, We don't have to worry about the sales of the game at all. β
In the past ten months, too many games have been released, and many of them have not rated well in magazines, but as a result, they have generated a good reputation among fans, and then games have appeared that sell well.
When Fang Nan said this at this time, he was also afraid that Ye Chui would be too angry because of this, so he was comforting Ye Chui.
Ye Chui smiled and shook his head: "I just didn't expect that someone would be so afraid of my return, but these magazines just casually sarcastically mocked me in the magazine, am I going to be defeated by them?" What if the world is the enemy, the game is excellent, nothing is a problem. (To be continued......)
