And how was that ironic post about the cultural differences between the East and the West written?

That's interesting. ◎Top Novel,www.

"The recent success of "The Witcher 3" and the death of Xuanyuan Sword have once again set off netizens' doubts about domestic RPGs, and a question that everyone is puzzled by is that in Poland, where all conditions are not superior, why can the excellent series of The Witcher be born from scratch, while domestic games have always lacked achievements?"

"According to my personal analysis, it is entirely due to the cultural differences between the East and the West!"

It's still very simple here.,It seems that the author of this post is looking for a reason for a certain sword game.,It's on the opposite side of justice.,But,Immediately,The author began a heart-wrenching irony.,Use a seemingly absurd way of writing.,Mocking a certain game without a place.。

"In Poland, there is an old saying called 'A gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way', which translates into Chinese to mean 'a person with moderation also needs face when he makes money.'" This is a Polish proverb, but due to the cultural gap between the East and the West, it is difficult to find a corresponding translation in Chinese, so if any friends familiar with Polish think that I have mistranslated, please Haihan. ”

"I'm quoting it here to explain why, in today's game market, where you can make hundreds of millions of dollars a month by making a mobile game, Poles still break the bank to make single-player games, and that's because they have such a unique gentleman culture."

"So when the game industry in Japan and China, which is influenced by the culture of oriental pragmatism, is full of kryptonite mobile games, selling sentimental fried cold rice and making tens of millions of dollars, the Poles are still seriously carving their stand-alone games. This is a different choice brought about by cultural differences, and it is not that people in Japan or in China are not eager to make progress. ”

"On the other hand, in terms of the theme of the game, the "Witcher" series is adapted from the novel of the same name, which tells the story of a martial arts master with superb swordsmanship who can use powerful spells at the same time, and is not confined to secular laws.

"This kind of theme of the fusion of monster stories and swordsman elements is called Xianxia novels in Poland. It is a new theme that has never been touched by players in the East. ”

"Due to huge cultural differences, this kind of fairy-themed works in which immortals and swordsmanship coexist, demons and heroes fight each other are extremely unfamiliar in China, so even if the "Witcher" series is a great success, it is completely impossible to copy or imitate for domestic games, and it has lost its reference value."

"The difference in the cultural environment leads to the fact that it is difficult to tolerate this form of game in an open world in the context of oriental culture, so some people like to compare the theme of wizards with domestic games, which is actually an irresponsible and unreasonable behavior."

"For example, in one of the side quests of The Witcher 3, the player will meet a woman practicing swordsmanship on an island in a Norse-style archipelago country. She will sue the male protagonist as long as someone can defeat her. She was willing to marry that man. ”

"At this time, the player can control the protagonist to defeat the woman and watch a large-scale popping animation."

"This bizarre behavior of choosing a mate is called 'jousting and marrying' in Northern Europe, because the ancient Norsemen were pirates, so they needed strong men to run the house, thus giving birth to this strange custom."

"In the traditional Chinese culture that pays attention to the words of the matchmaker and the order of the parents, it is completely unimaginable that a woman can decide her marriage with such a barbaric and crude standard, which is simply ridiculous. In domestic games, players will never encounter this kind of scene, and as a result, this novel and strange cultural content has become a major selling point of the game, which has aroused strong interest from domestic players. ”

"There are many more plots like this that create cultural differences between the East and the West. It can be said that it is this huge cultural difference between the East and the West, which is completely different, on the one hand, caused by the freshness that has prompted the wizard to rave reviews in China, and on the other hand, it is also doomed to the domestic stand-alone game industry to be unable to make similar works. ”

This is really a very ironic, very spicy article.

Jester had seen it at the time. is even more amazing, in the face of such a post, such a text, the so-called sword players can only carry out the wail of a defeated dog.

This also recalls Jester, who did this. I strengthened my confidence even more.

This speaks volumes about any other so-called plot as long as the quality of the game itself is high enough. Excuses such as so-called cultural barriers are superfluous, as long as you don't do it dead, just play something that only your own people are tender and consolidate and appreciate.

It must be universal.

That is, on the surface, it seems that the Eastern and Western cultures are full of estrangement and differences, but in fact, when it comes to real application, the so-called cultural gap and the different parts will not be used at all in the application of those things that can be exchanged between the two sides.

That's enough.

After thinking this through, Jester also decided that his next game would be a game with the theme of the domestic background, which can be regarded as his contribution to the domestic culture going abroad after judging the situation.

As for which background to choose, this may need to be carefully considered.

In the end, it is possible that there will be an era of heroism.

Moreover, when his next console comes out, he can also use the IP of this domestic background game to make a game that he has always wanted to make Zuò.

It's a long-term business.

The top priority was to recruit employees from Nintendo's game division in Japan.

Jester was a little uneasy and decided to ask for himself.

After the phone was connected, Shigeru Miyamoto's hoarse voice had a hint of tiredness in it, and Jester first asked with concern, and then asked about the business under the other party's unobtrusive answer.

"Is it going well?"

After hearing Jester's inquiry, Shigeru Miyamoto also became serious.

After all, this is the first task given to him by his new boss, and he still applies for this task by himself, and his boss gives him a lot of autonomy, if he doesn't do this well, then his boss will definitely be disappointed in himself.

This is basically unforgivable for Shigeru Miyamoto, who still has a pair of ambitions.

Therefore, he was silent for more than ten seconds, carefully considering some wording, and then replied: "It's not bad, but it's not just us who are interested in these former employees of Nintendo, not even just us game companies, many software companies are also interested in them." ”

After a slight pause, Shigesai Miyamoto continued: "But our biggest competitors are still game companies, such as Sega, Sony, Square Enix, Enix, Capcom and other large game companies, all of which are very appealing, and we don't have much advantage. ”

"That's right."

Hearing Shigeru Miyamoto say this, Jester also groaned a little.

After all, the situation in Japan is different from that of the United States, and the Japanese are still more willing to work in Japanese companies, plus they have had a bayonet competition with Nintendo before, and Yamauchi Pu's matter is really inextricably linked with himself, and Yamauchi's influence within Nintendo is almost pervasive.

That's really an entrepreneur with a very special personality.

Many Nintendo employees are proud to have such a great leader.

Even Jester can imagine how embarrassing Shigeru Miyamoto would be when he returned to Japan this time to meet some of his old colleagues, after all, it was precisely because of Shigeru Miyamoto's sudden resignation that Pu Yamauchi had a heart attack, and Shigeru Miyamoto was to blame for this matter.

"You've been having a rough day lately, too."

Thinking of this, Jester thought of the answer that just now, when he asked Shigeru Miyamoto how he was doing in Japan, Shigeru Miyamoto said that it was not bad, and it was obviously a little insincere, so Jester took the initiative to say it first......

"No ......" Shigeru Miyamoto originally wanted to veto.

Before he could say anything, however, he was interrupted by Jester's words.

"Don't explain, your statement is obviously illogical, just look at the number of colleagues you have recruited from you in this matter and with me."

Jester said as he pulled out a text clip from the table, and then opened the text folder very skillfully, and read it carefully, it was written that this matter was reported to him by Shigeru Miyamoto in Japan, although Shigeru Miyamoto had been saying a qiēshun lì.

However, the manpower he recruited will not deceive people.

After such a long time now, less than ten people have been recruited, and you must know that the intelligence development headquarters in charge of Shigeru Miyamoto, which was previously valuable, has more than 100 direct subordinates.

Hearing Jester say this, Shigeru Miyamoto had no choice but to say a little frustrated: "Yes, boss, because of my job-hopping, I had a lot of opinions about me before, especially the matter of President Yamauchi, so they didn't want to see me at all, let alone continue to work with me." ”

However, Shigeru Miyamoto hurriedly explained.

"However, the nine I recruited before, and the ones who agreed to join Mars Entertainment with me, were my most effective assistants when I was in the intelligence development headquarters, and their level was definitely the top, and it was definitely not because I couldn't recruit enough people, and I recruited them indiscriminately, and my attitude towards game development was definitely the most serious."

"I know."

Jester doesn't doubt Miyamoto's intentions, as Miyamoto's resume proves that he is extremely sincere about the game. (To be continued......) R527
