Chapter 348. It's darkest before dawn
By May, with the release of the scores of major media, the average media score of "Breath of the Wild" has basically stabilized, and finally fell on the unstoppable score of 99 points, except for the game, there are several less influential media that have not scored full marks, all of which remain above 9.5 scores, but the reason is not strange, most of them are some pictures, functions, and optimization problems.
Therefore, although "Breath of the Wild" has set a record for the highest score in the MC rating, it has not reached a real grand slam, but on the other hand, "Breath of the Wild" with a score of 99 is actually no different from a full score.
With the release of this wave of reviews, the pre-orders of "Breath of the Wild" began to skyrocket, and the pre-orders of the game, including the online store, were less than two million in the previous six months, compared to the sales of 30 million copies of "The Last of Us".
On the one hand, the game genre of "Breath of the Wild" is very different from "The Last of Us", and in the middle of the release of "The Last of Us", most of the players who buy the game are new players who play in online mode, they may be interested in the survival game genre, interested in shooting games, but not necessarily interested in adventure games like "Breath of the Wild".
On the other hand, it is natural that players are waiting for other people's evaluations, which is actually the mentality of most gamers, most of the people who will pre-order in advance are die-hard fans of game companies, and are willing to pay before they see the finished product, while other players have the mentality of having fun and then buying.
Wang Ze belongs to the die-hard fan, and Shen Baa is the second type.
The high price of console games often costs 300 yuan makes Shen Baba, who is used to poor life, unable to choose to have them all, she prefers to wait for the evaluation after the release, and even hold back the discount.
The risk of entering the pit for the first time in the game is extremely high, for example, there was a game called "Hymn" in the previous hardcore technology, which took the road of fighting monsters with science and technology fan armor, and the promotional picture at the beginning was particularly good, and it seemed that the gameplay was also very rich, and it was a first-party masterpiece exclusive to the black box, so many players pre-purchased into the pit.
As a result, when the game was officially released, players found that the picture quality had shrunk, and the game content was also very poor, basically the trailer was all the essence, and the first game experience bought for 300 yuan was extremely poor.
Not only that, if the later DLC and the like flesh out the content, there is also hope for a word-of-mouth reversal, but in the second month of the release of "Hymn", this game was directly discounted by 7%, making players who started at full price feel as if they had eaten a hot [beep-] as uncomfortable.
After another two months, the game has more content, but it is still not enough to play, and hardcore technology seems to have given up on the game, directly adding it to the free membership package, and giving it for nothing.
It is because of this game that there is a saying that "buy late to enjoy discounts, do not buy for free", players pre-order, the enthusiasm of the first game is greatly reduced.
But Breath of the Wild's ratings are unprecedentedly high, which has made many players who follow the game eager to give it a try, and the number of pre-orders has gradually increased.
According to statistics, in mid-May, less than a month before the game's release, Breath of the Wild has reached 5 million pre-orders, and has long been the top seller of game merchandise, and this is only a game that has not yet been released.
These news were naturally also seen by Qin Shanshan.
Although she is seriously revising, she still watches the news twice in her spare time.
After seeing that "Huaxia Game Console Practical Technology" gave this game a full score, Qin Shanshan's expectations for "Breath of the Wild" reached the highest, so that the turmoil caused by other ratings in the future was not so important.
The only thing Qin Shanshan can be thankful about is that after the college entrance examination on the release date of the game, she at least doesn't have to watch others have cleared the level, and she still has to grit her teeth to review the exam.
She pre-ordered the game early, and could only watch the countdown to the release date on the weekend to comfort her soul.
"Ah, I want to play Breath of the Wild."
With a long sigh, Qin Shanshan lay on the table.
"You can play when the exam is over, and I'll play with you then, okay?"
Chu Future, who was beside him, gently stroked Qin Shanshan's messy hair.
"When the time comes, I'm going to have to play him all night, no, two all-nighters!"
Qin Shanshan gritted her teeth and said that at this point in time, many people's mentality has become a little rigid because of long-term review, and a little change and stimulation can make a huge change in students.
In the words of the teachers, this is the darkest time before dawn, and it is also the most stressful time.
"Okay, well, I'll play with you whenever you want."
Chu Future smiled and straightened the scroll again.
"Let's take a look at this question......"
Now there have been two mock exams, the first mock exam is very difficult, the second one is relatively simple, in the words Chu Future heard that the first mock exam allows students to calm down and review, the second mock exam gives students to increase confidence, and some schools have a third mock exam, but at this time, in fact, the exam is no longer important.
Qin Shanshan's two exam results were so-so, and there was still a little gap between her target Suzhou and Hangzhou Technology and Business University, but Chu Future fell firmly within the enrollment score line of Suzhou and Hangzhou University, and it was not difficult to get in.
Chu doesn't have much concept of what will happen in the future, and now the college entrance examination is everything for him, perhaps this is also the common idea of many students in this period.
What ambitions and what bright future are gradually polished in the exams again and again, some people collect them to the bottom of their hearts, and some people forget their original intentions.
As for Chu Future, he didn't care about the future, as long as he could be with Qin Shanshan, he would be very happy.
......
On the other side of the ocean, Li Ruoxuan is busy with the overseas edition of "Monthly Youth Frontline", and now she is the editor-in-chief, due to the large number of European countries, she has to fly around most of the time.
At the airport in the Kingdom of England, Li Ruoxuan had just landed, and when she opened her mobile phone, she received several messages, including those who wanted her to confirm the frontispiece, as well as some meeting arrangements, and business cooperation matters.
After taking care of some things in the taxi, Li Ruoxuan went to a hotel in the city, where she was going to attend a large-scale forum on the publishing industry today.
As soon as she got out of the taxi, Li Ruoxuan saw another message sent.
subconsciously thought it was at work, Li Ruoxuan clicked on it casually, but found that it was from a cartoonist.
"The "Music Girl" comic is finally over, and in the past few years, thanks to the care, Xueluo edited."
This is a message from Mr. Shuhai, the author of "Music Girl".
Li Ruoxuan was stunned, and finally pursed her lips and smiled, and replied with a message.
"It's been a hard time, Mr. Shuhai."
