Chapter 708: Who the Hell Is Still Buying GTA? (I wish you all a happy new year in advance~)
Breaking the sales champion of "GTA" did not surprise many media, after all, "Vice City" is a debut game, and it is a real money to spend so much money on publicity, and "GTA" is a game that has been online for more than 1 month.
If this situation can't surpass "GTA", then it can only be said that "Vice City" exploded directly.
How far can Vice City go?
This is not only what Depp thinks, but also what other game industries and media think.
It's just that as time progresses, things are a little bit wrong.
The first is the gradual decline in Vice City's ratings, which should be a relatively normal thing, after all, there are no games that can be enjoyed by all players.
But the key is that some players who have been experiencing it for several hours, or even ten hours, have modified the original high score of full score, and instead gave a mid-range rating a little higher.
What's going on?
After masturbating the suspect ugly??
In the Epex game, he is still lamenting that a generation of newcomers is better than the old, and Depp, who belongs to young people in the rivers and lakes, is also confused after getting the latest data news.
The main reason for this is that there is less novelty in the later stages of the game as much as it did at the beginning.
When the player calms down after the excitement and excitement at the beginning, and experiences the subsequent content, they find that the content of the game does not seem to have changed much!
And the shaping of the whole world doesn't feel that interesting.
It feels like you're in a mechanical world, rather than the lifelike and vibrant feeling of GTA Los Santos.
The main pleasure seems to be to destroy and destroy the city, and then the enemy is all sorts of armored vehicles, armies, tanks.
At first, the feeling of various superpowers is really great, but after experiencing it, it suddenly feels that it is not interesting.
Put it around, it's just those few abilities, it's nothing more than abusing the police and the army.
For players who have already played GTA, it feels really boring to go back and play Vice City.
For example, in the game of "GTA", there are all kinds of robbery missions, as well as side quests, such as sneaking in, stealing things, and confronting enemies head-on.
There will be a thrilling feeling, because although in "GTA" Mike, Choi and Franklin all have special ability points, in fact, they will still get hurt, and if the player does not find cover, but swaggers out recklessly, they will still be beaten into a sieve.
But in "Vice City", the protagonist controlled by the player is the only superpower, and it feels basically not difficult, although the ability value is also set for the sake of limitation, but it is actually quite invincible.
It's like playing a game with a cheat on a split-and-slash cheat, and it feels cool at first, but it quickly gets a little tedious.
And unlike games like "League of Legends", the former you abuse vegetables and know that you are abusing real people, which will make you feel more comfortable under this bonus, but in "Vice City", players are facing NPCs, and it is the computer that suddenly feels unpleasant.
…………
In the Apex game, in the face of this sudden change, he was still confused to summarize with the team what went wrong.
There was a piece of news that made him a little confused.
Is GTA back to number one on the sales charts?
Did their Vice City fall to second place?
What's the situation?
The stats are wrong?
Depp, who got the news, immediately took a look at the sales of "Vice City" that day.
590,000 copies, due to the sudden drop in word-of-mouth, this number is indeed much lower than some time ago, and it is not comparable to the millions of sales on the first day, but it is basically a normal level of a game.
But is this the case, GTA sells more than them?
You must know that this product has been on the list for a month in a row!
Even if there is an update and excitement of the online mode, it won't be like this!
said that the good grandmaster is old, but the rivers and lakes belong to the young people?
This is not scientific!
This shouldn't be!
How is this possible!
For a moment, there was a 'negation' trifecta in Depp's head, but soon this thought was replaced by another thought.
Who is still buying GTA?
Who the hell is still buying GTA?
After asking twice in his heart in a row, Depp looked at the data in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Not only Depp, but also the game media were shocked.
But then these game media also quickly sent out articles, big news.
This is big news!
'Horror! Vice City ranked second in sales, and the number one game turned out to be this game again! ’
'How many copies were sold?' He's back with that game! ’
'Vice City lost to GTA, dominated the charts for two days, and GTA is back at the top! ’
'GTA will become the fastest game to sell more than 100 million?' Uncover the secret of its success! ’
'Global sales have exceeded 40 million? How much did GTA sell? ’
With "GTA" once again on the list, all industry insiders and players were shocked.
Two days after Vice City made it to the top, GTA is back?
Although there is a bonus to the online mode, it is free!
And the game has been sold for a month!
All those in the industry were stunned.
However, for Yang Chen, although there were some surprises, he still felt more understandable.
GTA has such a charm.
In the dream memory, "GTA" is a frequent visitor to the steam list, although there are cases where the player who opened the list was blocked, and then bought a second copy.
But on the two major console platforms with better environments, XBOX and PS, even after five or six years of sales, as long as it is discounted, it can still be on the hot sales list, and it is still the kind of very high position, and sometimes it can even get the first place, which can completely show how attractive it is.
However, this achievement is simply incredible for people in the game industry.
Especially UEgame was even more stunned!
Other people don't know GTA sales, they do.
Because Nebula Games helped them do Apex's vote before, plus Nebula Games itself is also their partner.
In helping Nebulas Games to be responsible for overseas distribution, as well as related publicity including dealing with the negative impact of the game after the fact, UEgame's commission fee can be said to be very low.
It's not the traditional 30% commission before tax, but the 8% commission that is almost given for free, but even so, aside from overseas publicity expenses, there are all kinds of expenses, and they still make money! And it's a lot of money!
And looking at this stance, it seems that "GTA" will continue to sell.
