Chapter 266: It's as if a carnival has begun
"Do you see IGN's rating?"
“IGN? What is that? What does it have to do with NGA? ”
"A very authoritative game media abroad! Imagine Games ork! ”
"You're so good at English, have you passed level 4?"
"Who is talking to you about this, the new game of Qingyu Network, IGN gave a score of 9.7!"
"Is that the Origin of Everything?"
"Yes!"
"When?"
"It's just morning, just now!"
……
On domestic social networks, among the player base, the ratings of the first major foreign gaming media spread like a virus.
The fire of dry wood can be described as well. It's like in the game "The Origin of Everything", if you light a fire in a wheat field or in a forest, the fire will spread to the far end in an instant.
Because it's IGN.
The three most well-known and popular foreign game media in China are none other than IGN, gamespot, and Japan's famitsu, among which IGN may have a particularly high status and is considered by many to be the most authoritative one.
Objectively speaking, regardless of whether it is authoritative or not, just from the perspective of popularity, in terms of Alexa website statistics, IGN's global ranking is now 295, gamespot is 723, Famitsu is relatively low, 2317th, and it is still difficult for Japanese to spread around the world.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the propaganda and touting of the domestic media.
When foreign media disseminate in China, it is inevitable to cross the language gap and first localize and translate. In most cases, domestic media will choose IGN instead of gamespot and famitong for reprinting overseas game reviews, especially for one of the most popular stand-alone game portals in China, such as Nomad Sky, which has to reprint a game review from IGN every once in a while, which is regarded as a creed.
IGN often publishes some selections such as "Top 100 in History", "Top 10 of the Year", "Best of the 5 Years", "Best of the Decade", etc., which are often destined to be accompanied by all kinds of tearing and disobedience as soon as they come out.
The intent is quite obvious.
The fans under the article were torn apart, arguing and arguing that the popularity of the article was also ignited, and the number of reading clicks also rose. From the perspective of news dissemination, it has considerable "value", and in this regard, the other two are relatively "low-key" a lot.
On IGN's official website, one hour after Jones's review report was published, 73 minutes to be exact, the original English text was reposted on the domestic website before it could be translated. After a rough explanation of the content, Jones's three stages are also brushed aside, but the score of the iconic white on red background is there, and the score of 9.7 is unusually striking, and this number has no comprehension barrier at all.
The video game portal was the first domestic media to reprint it, and it is worthy of being the most authoritative game portal in China, and at the end of this article, they also explain some of IGN's ratings to highlight the hard-won score of 9.7.
"In the 12 years since its inception in 1996, IGN has reviewed nearly 1,000 games, and only 20 have received perfect scores, an average of less than two a year."
"In the past 2008, IGN only gave two perfect score games, namely "Metal Gear Solid 4: Gun of the Patriots" on the PS3 platform and "Grand Theft Auto 4" on all platforms, they are undoubtedly heirlooms, and the 9.7 score of "The Origin of Everything" of the Blue Fish Network ranked 3rd among all games in the whole year last year!"
"Look at the big games that came out last year, Prince of Persia: Reborn scored 9.3, which is already the second highest score in the series after the original Sands of Time (9.6).
"New Year's Call 5" is 9.2 points, you must know that this work has sold more than 2 million copies worldwide.
"Fallout 3", which was launched globally in October last year, the winner of the VGA Best RPG Game of the Year, and the epic work that Pepsi spent four years working hard to create, countless players are looking forward to it, and sold 4.7 million units in the first week of listing (three platforms combined)! His rating of 9.6 is still lower than "The Origin of Everything"!
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, the sequel to the real-time strategy game Red Alert that swept the world, has a score of 8.2.
IGN's own No. 1 most popular game of the year, Spore is only 8.8 points.
Dark Rong's "Dynasty Warriors 5", 5.9 points, well, we can ignore it.
Among these emerging masterpieces, "The Origin of Everything" from China should be unexpected by many people, which is a milestone in our progress on the world game map. In the next few days, the ratings from other media outlets should also come out, and they are so optimistic about this creative work, and they are concerned about the unprecedented experience that this game brings, but ironically, in our own country, the game is now receiving mixed reviews and is very hotly debated. “
At the end of this article on the video game portal, the editor concludes with such a sentence.
……
On their forum,Almost at the same time,The moderator reprinted the article,In the past week,More but less effective fishmeal,And a small number of but super combat effectiveness of the fish blacks quarreled,Delete posts and ban countless accounts。
Clear-eyed people know that there are definitely sailors with ulterior motives in it, provoking incitement and blindly smearing.
In fact, this is not just a war on this forum, there are battles and discussions on Weibo, QQ Space, and various social networks on the school intranet.
Over the course of the week, the fish fans showed the uniqueness of the game in various aspects, but the attack methods of the fish blacks are usually mosaic graphics, childish art style, pixels like the last century, not flashy battles, no touching stories, etc...... Kuroko will always find enough black spots, and of course, objective sales, which should be their biggest weapon.
It's just that the sales volume has slowly begun to rise over time, and in the statistical post of Ji Xiaofo, the moderator of the Eternal War Zone, it is obvious that there is a large increase every day. This is slowly becoming untenable.
In the past, the trend of the war gradually began to become clear, and now the fish fans have another powerful weapon, almost a lore type, you see, the most well-known foreign game media IGN, gave a score of 9.7!
Do you know more about games than professional game reviewers? They all think that what you say is a feature, only you think it is a flaw!
The help of this foreign friend is simply the best New Year's gift.
In the sales statistics post that was originally the most torn, the criticism of Yuhei began to brush the building.
So ignorant, so shallow, without a truly valuable analysis of the game, just spitting vulgar words and ill-intentioned!
There is a feeling of raising eyebrows.
The reliance on foreign authority shows that we do not have the right to speak in this field for the time being, nor is it the mainstream of the world.
Just like "Qin Injury", the most searched evaluation is still how brilliant it was in E3 back then, and gamespot called it "Chinese Dark...... In fact, maybe people are just polite, on GameSpot, they give "Qin Injury" a score of only 6.7 points.
But in any case, Qingyu Network and "The Origin of Everything" have begun to make people see that domestic games may also become mainstream one day.
……
Soon, more media outlets put the news on the front lines of their websites, with headlines that directly point to the core, even if it's ...... Most media has little to do with single-player games.
Huang Yi Game Channel: "Start reversing? The Origin of Everything received a super high rating of 9.7 from IGN, ranking 3rd in the year! 》。 Strictly speaking, it is not a reversal, at most there is a sudden change in the direction of the wind. It's a fact that "The Origin of Everything" has not sold well in China, but it has a decent reputation among players who have played it, and even those who don't play single-player games have praised such a game and company that does not compromise with the commercial market, but writers are often good at exaggerating.
Tenghua Game Channel: IGN9.7! The origin of all things in the herring network makes domestic stand-alone games usher in spring? Tenghua directly took out the word "domestic stand-alone game", although there is no in-depth interpretation in the article, let alone industry review and analysis, after all, there is too little time for codewords, and everyone is rushing to send out the press as soon as possible. But with this word in the title, the number of clicks can increase by 10%, believe it or not.
Meihu Games: "9.7 points! The Origin of Everything! , Meihu is trouble-free, the title is too lazy to think about it, send it out first.
There are also Pacific Games, Nomad Sky, Ranger Network, Three Mothers, Dowan.com, and even Youqi Mountain, U9.com, which self-proclaimed as China's largest online game portal, have also made quick feedback.
Foreign counterparts, how many people have been fed.
On this day, it was as if a carnival had begun.
