Chapter 268: Fancy Tout

In January 2009, the world's major media outlets released reviews of "The Origin of Everything", and even a bit of a scramble, for such a unique but caused a wave of signs of intensification, this is simply the best New Year's gift for game critics, allowing them to express their unique opinions more fanciously.

Positive reviews dominate the majority, but there are still a handful of relatively conservative or negative ones, as it's hard to reconcile, and it's not a traditional masterpiece that is impeccable in all aspects.

Even "Grand Theft Auto 4" is still criticized for raising the production and promotion threshold of triple-A masterpieces, making the game industry, which is already enough to burn money, even more endless.

Eurogamer, a magazine from Germany, did not hesitate to give The Origin of Everything a perfect score of 100, and they are almost one of the most authoritative in Europe.

On their website, the first sentence of the game's subpage reads: "A lot of people talk about open world and freedom in The Elder Scrolls and Grand Theft Auto, and that's one of the best experiences these two great franchises have ever had for us, but so far, only Origin of Everything has really done that." ”

"The concept of sandbox games has started to take shape around the world and is likely to become an important direction for the gaming industry to explore in the next few years, and we are also thinking about what a real sandbox game should look like, which could have taken years, but now Origin of Everything may have put the ultimate answer in front of us."

"I'm sorry that with my imagination, it's hard to simulate what kind of gameplay and design can surpass this game in the so-called [free] space, which makes me both excited and sad, and maybe between the next change that no one knows when it will come, this is the end of what we can reach."

"It's a bit strange to start writing a review like this, because it's been almost an integral part of my gaming life in the nearly month since the game was released. I prefer the PC version, one of its biggest advantages over the console version is that it is a completely endless world, the console version is not infinite for the sake of functionality, it has an end, and the PC version brings you never-ending expansion, as well as all kinds of weird mods that began to appear on the FG platform, and each mod makes you feel like a new adventure has begun! ”

"Now the mods that have appeared on the FG platform include racing cars, which are the first ones, and there are also higher-definition material textures, which are also from Fisoa's official own production. There are also the usual art classes, replacing the villain with a variety of images, players can easily make it, not only because the textures of the game itself are too easy to make, but also because the official open production tools are really convenient enough, from their last "Survival" you know the style of this company, at present, "Survival" has more than 100 exquisite mods for everyone to download and use for free on the Innovation Factory area of the FG platform. There are also simulated hunting, do you remember the "Duck Hunting" on Ren Jile FC? This game has already been implemented by players, and it is conceivable that in a few months, there will be some classic gameplay ported to this game one by one. ”

"We don't have to worry about the vitality of a game like this."

The young Chinese game company has seen an instant hit, with more than two million players currently addicted to the game, and this is only their first commercial game to be released publicly, which has already succumbed to the gold rush of two million people in just one month and is still expanding rapidly. It's like the gold rush 100 years ago, all Americans yearn for California, it's for gold, and now they're frantically pouring into this game, for their dreams, or the years that once flashed in their minds, can now be realized through this game, which is another form of the American dream. ”

San Francisco-based Gamepro is a video game media company with its own magazine and website. On their website, an article was updated on January 24, which is also how they felt after experiencing "The Origin of Everything" more deeply.

In the article they write:

These are the words of critics of Origin of Everything, who complain about the game's default rudimentary dungeons and villages, the not-so-stunning graphics, lighting, textures and textures, and even the reflections on the water...... You'll always be able to find enough points to attack a game. BUT IN OUR OPINION, IT IS EXTREMELY RIDICULOUS, AS IF COMPLAINING ABOUT WHY COSTCO'S (A WELL-KNOWN MEMBERSHIP-BASED WAREHOUSE AND WHOLESALE STORE IN THE UNITED STATES, WHICH PROVIDES MEMBERS WITH LOW-PRICED FOOD) $5 ROTISSERIE CHICKEN AND $1.5 HOT DOG SODA COMBO ARE NOT AS GOOD AS FIVE-STAR STEAKS. Just like when we watch an action movie, in addition to studying whether the sense of Weiya is obvious, maybe we can also have a deeper exploration? ”

"Even these people, you still can't deny that The Origin of Everything is one of the most avant-garde works of all time. We should be happy to see the commercial success of this game, even if its R&D cost is less than $200,000, the company is very cool to spit on the traditional game industry, which should be the dream of many independent game companies, so that those game manufacturers who seem to be starting to enter the arms race can spend endless money on R&D and publicity, and can also stop and think about what the essence of the game is. ”

"Rating: 100/100."

"Did you find out? The significance of this game is not even the game itself, does it remind you of the great games in history? Just like Super Mario Bros. is to side-scrollers, Wolfenstein 3D is to first-person shooters, Tetris is to casual puzzle games, like these great games, they took themselves as prototypes and then created a genre. ”

"I can bet that there will be more games like this in the future, and it's hard to say if they can carry this play forward, and whether the play itself will endure will take time to tell, but at least it has done everything it can." - "1UP", rated 10/10.

1UP seems to be one of the most brainless fans, and has even elevated the game to the level of epic works like "Mario Bros.", and some fans of "The Origin of Everything" are terrified to say "please don't milk" to them, and such comments have also made fans of those masterpieces quite complaining, how can you compare to the red hat.

……

"Intuitive, fun, contagious, an unparalleled spatial creativity and an unforgettable experience. The simple and straightforward gameplay and powerful guidance system clearly tell you which resources you should find and how to synthesize the items you want. The gameplay is also very simple, with a maximum of half an hour, so even players who are new to the game should know how to proceed. It's friendly enough for newbies, and as far as I know, Chinese game companies are especially good at this, and Fisoa itself is the best of so many game companies in China. ”

"There's a lot to explore in the game, and not all of them will give you actual results, but even that will make you smile. Some places don't even have a guide, and it seems that the developers prefer to let players dig on their own. I really appreciate the attitude that if you tell a joke, you don't try to force the audience to laugh, they dig out the joke and give it a boring or funny rating. - PC GAMER, rating 9.6/10;

"Just a game? No, it is a unique phenomenon. Which was the last time a game like this caused the entire social network to go crazy? Sorry, I don't remember. Look at the young people around you, what games they've been talking about lately, I didn't want you to really answer, because I knew it was definitely The Origin of Everything. β€β€”β€”γ€ŠGames Master UKγ€‹οΌŒ9.1/10οΌ›

"Need a recommendation for a similar game? Yes, we can recommend the hard Visual Studio, the C++ Builder from Borland, or Eclipse. Yes, it's an integrated development environment, and Origin of Everything is the same as them, but it's simpler and doesn't require you to have a programming background. ”

"Even putting aside the two modes of survival and creation given by the official, these are just two modes on the surface, when I downloaded a mod for the first time in the Innovation Factory of the FG platform, I really realized that this game is actually an integrated development environment, as long as you have patience and are willing to put it into practice, you can also complete the game as you imagined, any shape." - ", rating 9.8/10.

……

Gamespot reviews are usually more rigorous, or more conservative, and not as "pompous" as IGN, and they are generally more optimistic about a masterpiece that is more complete and balanced in all aspects.

But they still gave "The Origin of Everything" an 8.5/10 rating.

"One of the strong contenders for Game of the Year in 2009, yes, even though 2009 has only just started a week, it's almost fair to make a judgment that will probably go down in the history of the game."

"It doesn't matter if you're a big fan of RPGs, or FPS, or even sports games, you'll be able to find your place in Origin and have fun. It's open to players of all genres, and you can't criticize Fisoa for the ambitions of the gaming company, because that's what this game is. ”

"There are even times when you're having fun improving your equipment and fighting all kinds of monsters, but at some point you're attracted to a beautiful building, and a lot of what we thought was the golden rule of the game becomes blurred in this game."
