As of the eve of release, Sin City has reached a score of 95 on the MC, which is a very high score, and it has not been a game with such a score in a few years, and it is completely unique in the next generation.

Several large mainstream media outlets generally gave Sin City extremely high ratings, and even if the subsequent ratings dropped, it was generally believed that the final score of Sin City would not be lower than 93 points, and perhaps it would be able to maintain a score of 95.

It was expected that "Sin City" could receive good reviews, but the opening directly rushed to 95 points, which was unexpected by many people.

It's been about two years, or three years, and no game has had such a strong start, Sin City was released in November, and someone has already booked it a spot for Game of the Year.

Three days after the scoring ban was lifted, the entire Future Oasis up and down, from operations to development departments, breathed a sigh of relief.

"2 million!"

Su Li announced the latest news from the operation at Oasis Studios.

Before the game was officially unlocked, Sin City's digital sales on all platforms exceeded 2 million.

The limited edition console launched by MS has long been booked out, and now the domestic retail price has increased by several hundred, and it is still in short supply.

They, perhaps, will create a new legend.

Thursday, November 4th.

Fu Qiang sat in his position, a little unintentional. He struggled with the position for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

During the lunch break, Fu Qiang walked to Lao Chen, the leader in charge, and said, "Boss, I want to ask for leave." ”

"Leave?"

Lao Chen raised his head and glanced at Fu Qiang, and his voice was directly three degrees higher.

"Well, excuse me."

Fu Qiang said firmly, there was no longer the hesitation just now.

"Now is the critical period for the project......"

Lao Chen came up with his mantra, and basically when communicating with his subordinates, he always used this sentence to start his hands to occupy the commanding heights.

Fu Qiang naturally would not be frightened by this sentence, in Lao Chen's mouth, 365 days a year is a critical period, which he hurriedly said: "Boss, I really want to take leave this time, my annual leave this year is not used, this time it is really going to be used." ”

Fu Qiang really hasn't taken a vacation this year, he has been in this company for several years, and he does have a few days of annual leave every year.

Lao Chen saw that Fu Qiang's attitude was very resolute, thinking that he was in a hurry, so he asked, "What's so urgent?" ”

"Yes...... If you have something, you have to go back to your hometown. ”

When talking about the topic, Fu Qiang was a little weak-hearted, but Lao Chen didn't ask too deeply. Fu Qiang's hometown is in the north, and it is still quite far to go back, and he thinks that maybe there is something urgent.

"How long, please?"

Fu Qiang said: "I came back to work on Tuesday. ”

Lao Chen thought for a while and said, "Okay, you submit it in the system, and I'll report it to you." ”

This kind of thing is to be reported in the employee system, and Lao Chen, as Fu Qiang's direct boss, is basically not a big problem if he passes here.

Fu Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, this leave was finally invited.

"It's really weird."

Old Chen muttered.

"Huh?"

Fu Qiang subconsciously replied.

"There are already three or four people in the company who have asked for leave today, counting the people who came to ask for tomorrow's leave two days ago, there are seven or eight people, and the planning team next door seems to have asked for leave of four people at a time, why do you all have something to do together?"

Lao Chen raised his head, looked at Fu Qiang with some suspicion, and said, "You guys, you won't be doing anything, right?" ”

Fu Qiang hurriedly shook his head, thinking to himself why so many people had the same thoughts as themselves, everyone rushed together to ask for leave.

finally got out of work, Fu Qiang sorted out all his work, and the leave was approved, and he left the company as if he was running away, for fear that it would change later.

Leaving the company building, Fu Qiang's fat colleague chased after him from behind, he put his arm around Fu Qiang's shoulders like a spy joint, and whispered, "It's done?" ”

Fu Qiang nodded: "It's done." I heard that there are four people in your group who have taken leave? ”

The colleague said: "Five, the boss himself has asked for leave, and everyone knows it." ”

"Go back to sleep?" The colleague then asked.

"I'll go buy something first, go back and sleep, and sleep until tomorrow morning." Fu Qiang looked at the time and decided to go to the supermarket to buy first, make material preparations, and then go back to sleep well.

Fu Qiang's leave is naturally not to go back to his hometown, this reason is just a cover-up, the biggest reason is that "Sin City" in the future Oasis will be playable tomorrow

To put it simply, it is to take time off to play the game.

Although Fu Qiang is also a gamer, he rarely has such a crazy side, and this time he plans to indulge in a wave of indulgence.

Moreover, there seem to be many people like him.

In my own company alone, there are several of them this time.

Such plots are playing out all over the country, just like in the Oasis forum, where there are now posts with a lot of people's leave notes, and a large number of players choose to take time off on this day to devote themselves to the arms of Sin City.

This seems to have become a trend.

Fu Qiang bought two large bags of things in the supermarket, including a large amount of coffee and snacks, to prepare for tomorrow's struggle.

People, it's rare to be crazy once, after graduating from college and entering society, Fu Qiang feels that he hasn't been crazy for a long time.

When he got home, Fu Qiang turned on the computer, and on the Oasis platform, the pre-loading of the game had been completed, just waiting for tomorrow's unlock.

He thought about it for a moment and set the account on the Oasis platform to be invisible. Many of his platform friends are colleagues in the company, and he is now nominally going back to his hometown, but he doesn't want to leave any obvious handles.

Fu Qiang still chose the PC version this time, after all, domestic PC is still trendy, and the number of players should be more.

Everything was ready, although it was not very late, Fu Qiang still chose to sleep directly.

During this time, the pressure of work made Fu Qiang feel a little tired, and he had a rare opportunity to put down his work, so he quickly fell asleep.

Due to the time difference, the release time varies slightly from place to place, but the unlock time of the digital version is the same all over the world.

It is unlocked at 9 o'clock in the morning in China, and at this time, North America is still on Thursday night, but the release time of the physical version is Friday local time, and it will start to go on sale after the major stores open.

In fact, after the electronic version unlocked in Sin City, the physical version of the game has begun to steal away in all major regions, and several stores here in North America stole the physical version of the game on Thursday night, attracting a large number of players to the door.

"Please, why don't you buy the digital version? It's snowing today! ”

"It's a belief to buy physical games, and this store is already stealing games, and I just called them and they told me that they still have a lot of stock."

"Yes, faith, but it's snowing today, it's a forty-minute drive to that store, my God, it's already 10 o'clock in the evening, and we can't go back until 12 o'clock!"

Dennis was driving Tom to a store that sold games, and he learned from the Internet that the store had stolen the games in advance.

So he went straight out of the starry night and drove to the shop, although it took an hour and a half to make the round trip, and although it was snowing outside, Dennis was not afraid.

That's what a gamer wills to do.

At this moment, there are already several streamers on the live streaming platform who have started to broadcast "Sin City", and Dennis has now gone from an Internet addict to a game streamer, and his reputation is very average, but he likes to do it.

On this night, there were not a few players like him who drove several kilometers to buy a game, and they expressed their support for the game with their actions.

…………

…………

Hard-working gamers have already played Sin City early, while most less crazy players will save the game until after work or class on Friday, and use a weekend to get the game to play.

Many players in the West choose to go to the supermarket on Friday to buy a big shopping and bring a "Sin City" disc along the way. The theme of Sin City was very popular with them, and now Sin City has been put in the best position by major retailers, with beautiful billboards, waiting for people to patronize.

In addition to those who take time off to play games, more domestic players usually hurry home, turn on the computer, and enter the game world after a day of unintentional work.

Fu Qiang slept until more than 8 o'clock in the morning that day, and when he woke up, there was less than an hour before "Sin City" was officially unlocked.

He slept eleven hours this night, and he felt that he hadn't slept so soundly and for so long in a long time.

When you're busy, you're lucky to get six hours of sleep a day.

Fu Qiang lay on the bed for three minutes, then got up and washed, walked downstairs and had breakfast, and then turned on the computer.

The configuration of the computer is great, a single otaku like him, other things can make do with it, and the computer configuration must not be disadvantaged.

Open the Oasis platform, the game's icon is still gray, it has not been unlocked, look at the time, there are still fifteen minutes left.

He opened the forum, and now the Sin City section of the Oasis forum is very active, with new posts appearing almost every minute. He found that there were already people in the forum discussing the fact that the console version of the game was sneaking away in Europe and the United States, and a few links to live broadcasts were given below.

For such a thing as sneaking away from the game, if it is a long time in advance, then the developer or publisher will definitely take some action, but "Sin City" is only an hour or two earlier than the unlock, and the future Oasis will turn a blind eye.

He didn't have to wait long, and Fu Qiang found that the icon of Sin City on the platform had changed from gray to colored, and the game was unlocked about 5 minutes earlier than the scheduled time.

Fu Qiang checked the status of his account and confirmed that it was invisible. In the friends column, he saw several of his colleagues who had taken leave, and seemed to have forgotten to switch to invisibility, and now they are all in the "Sin City game".

Fu Qiang chuckled lightly and clicked on the game icon.

The familiar logo of the future oasis, and then the logo of Sin City.

This is followed by an opening animation.

The opening animation of "Sin City" has been officially exposed before, and he has watched it many times before, but Fu Qiang did not directly fast-forward the opening animation, but watched it again.

That's nice......

He sighed to himself.

Although it's not the first time I've watched it, this opening animation still feels a lot of shock.

Entering the title page, Fu Qiang did not directly click to start the game, he first looked at the settings of the game, and then clicked on the list of production credits.

Accompanied by special BGM and changing backgrounds, a long list of credits appears on his screen, constantly changing like the end of a movie.

At a cursory glance, there are more than 100 names in it, and behind these names are the developers who have put their hearts and souls into this game.

With more than 100 top developers, the best environment, sufficient investment, and excellent designers and producers, Fu Qiang has long known that "Sin City" has rushed to the MC95 score at the beginning this time, which is undoubtedly a milestone in the domestic game industry and is considered the best masterpiece of the next generation so far.

Fu Qiang's eyes were eager, he looked at these names with envy, and wondered what he would feel if one day, his name could be placed in the list of legendary works like this.

I'm really envious......

…………

At twelve o'clock local time, Dennis and Tom returned to their rented house. They finally got their hands on the game of sneaking away in a store dozens of kilometers away.

As luck would have it, many players came to the store and almost emptied the entire inventory of the store.

By the time Dennis was ready to stream, the electronic version of the game had been unlocked for a while, but it was night time and there weren't many streamers streaming.

After Dennis started the live broadcast, a lot of viewers came in, most of them were regular viewers who subscribed to his live broadcast room.

Dennis greeted the audience as he opened the game.

He plans to play the single-player story mode first, and then play the multiplayer mode. In the past few days of experiencing the single-player story, he can also collect some information on the multiplayer mode and design the content of the live broadcast.

After clicking on the single-player mode, a short real-time calculated cutscene, Dennis saw the somewhat familiar image. He'd seen this image many times before, and the demo video on E3 had already spread all over the Internet.

There's nothing about pinching faces in the single-player mode, it's a scripted story with a fixed protagonist.

At the same time, millions of players around the world entered the world of Sin City at this moment and began their killer careers.
