Chapter 1521: Blizzard Bundle
James is a loyal gamer and buys several new games every month.
And since there is a Steam game store, James will not go anywhere else to buy games, after all, there is no second game in the world like the Steam game store, all games are very comprehensive, and at the same time, it can also provide a variety of leaderboards, recommended platforms.
On top of that, the platform often has a variety of activities, and sometimes even magical activities such as a folding game, anyway, once you get on the steam game platform, no player can leave the platform.
One day in August, James, who had just made a little money, went to the Steam game store to buy the game again, originally James wanted to buy Blizzard's latest "Warcraft 2 Blacktide" game.
In fact, at this time, "Warcraft 2 Kurotide" has been on sale for three months, and players who should buy the game have also started it, although James is also a Warcraft 1 player, but he is actually interested in real-time strategy and the game is average, so he has not started Warcraft 2.
You know, today he saw an advertisement for the Steam game platform on a newspaper ad, which said that the latest bundle launched by Blizzard Games bundled one of Blizzard Games' most classic games, StarCraft and Warcraft 2 Kurotide, together for $88.
You know, the price of these two games is $59 alone, and now the two games together are only $88, which is equivalent to $30 cheaper, which is a bit hard to resist!
Thinking that he hadn't actually played StarCraft, which was very good in the mouth of many friends, and could be called a peerless classic, James went to the Steam Game Store with great interest and bought StarCraft, which had been on sale for two years, and the Warcraft 2 bundle that had just been released this year.
I feel like I've made a lot of money!
Originally, he should have come back, but he suddenly saw the promotional poster of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2".
James was quite impressed by "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", although it was a role-playing game that he had no interest in, and it was also a game with an oriental world view.
But the problem is,He doesn't want money for this game.,Buy a handheld machine with a thousand machines and give it away for free.,Of course James can't stop playing, right?,If you want to play, you have to play through the customs, right!
Although there are many incomprehensible points in the plot of this game, for example, James has never understood what a female snail is, what Shushan is, and why there can be a person standing on such a small sword, but the general plot line is still understandable.
And what particularly impressed James was the final plot, Zhao Linger died, Lin Yueru also died, and there was only one person left in the protagonist, which made James very depressed at that time, and he didn't have the idea of playing the second time at all after clearing the customs once.
But this unexpected and tragic love story still makes James remember it deeply.
TO THIS DAY, HE HAS SEEN THE GAME PROMOTION OF "THE LEGEND OF SWORD AND FAIRY 2", AND SAW THE FAMILIAR ONE CALLED "XIAOYAO· LI".
"Boss, how is this second-generation story?" James asked curiously.
"Hmm, I heard that Ling'er Zhao has come back to life!" The boss said.
"What! Ling'er Zhao is alive? James was stunned for a while, and seemed to hear the plot when he first saw Ling'er Zhao's sacrifice, and couldn't help asking, "How much is this game?" ”
"It's $59 for both PC and handheld!" The boss quoted the price, James hesitated, but couldn't help but buy "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" back, and swiped a wave of sales for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2".
The same situation happened to many people, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" sold 120 million copies, and at least 60 million people were very depressed and unhappy with the ending of the game.
When they learned that in the second part, Zhao Linger was actually able to be resurrected, so how many people were willing to pay for a sequel was something to imagine.
So even when the second batch of "Pokemon Water and Fire" hit the shelves and the sales volume rushed to 10 million copies, it would not be possible to complete the task of killing "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" five times.
On the contrary, the sales of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" also came to 6 million copies, even surpassing Warcraft 2 and becoming the second-best-selling single-player game of the year.
At this time, the role of Xu Changlong's well-designed game system is reflected, and players who bought "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" because of the plot began to play the game seriously and found that this role-playing game was unexpectedly fun.
Although players still need to follow the main quest to advance the story, if the player does not want to advance the story, then there are still many parts that can be played.
Whether it is cultivating flying swords, refining magic weapons, or brushing different attribute entries for your spiritual treasures, anyway, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" is more unexpectedly interesting than you imagined.
And the final plot and ending are also unexpectedly amazing, the Emperor of Heaven is actually Li Xiaoyao's father, and Li Xiaoyao is a pawn of the Emperor of Heaven from beginning to end, but this chess piece finally went out of the entire chess game in the afternoon, cutting off the Three Realms, allowing human beings to break away from the control of gods and demons and become an independent world.
This plot is simply not too deep, and it is surprisingly in line with the appetite of Western players.
The most bizarre thing is that some people even got inspiration from this game, thinking that God must still exist, but it was cut off from the connection between the Garden of Eden and the human world or something, and finally derived a lot of things that Boss Jia couldn't be speechless.
All in all, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" was a great success, although the final sales only exceeded 10 million copies, which is not comparable to the 120 million copies sold in the previous game.
But this result made Boss Jia more happy and excited than the final 46 million sales of "Pokémon Water and Fire".
Because this means that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" has sold 10 million points worldwide, and 10 million European and American players are willing to pay for such a game with a completely Chinese style, Chinese mythological background, and Chinese thinking.
A few years later, when a discussion group was discussing the cultural export of China, it was unanimously agreed that the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series of games was the first small peak of China's cultural export, because it meant that Huaxia's Xianxia culture was recognized and known by a large number of Western young people.
And the same thing needs to be done by Huaxia's Xianxia in a few decades!
