Chapter 124: All love is more than Jin Jian, which comes from red faces and red ears again and again
Europe and the United States have a high awareness of copyright, and pirated games are not so widespread, there may be, but most of them are concentrated on computer platforms, and console platforms are very rare.
In addition, the host atmosphere is strong, and the number of private game consoles is tens of millions, so the majority of game developers like to develop games for consoles, and when they make enough money, they will transplant the game to the computer platform and make another profit.
Some extreme ones even only released the console version altogether, and abandoned the computer market, such as the "Uncharted Sea" series, such as the "Dragon Quest" series.
However, not every game is a big hit, and there are many examples of games that are very expensive and well-made, and there are many examples of sales that have suffered a waterloo.
In addition, most of them are stand-alone games, which rely on the ontology and DLC one-time buyout payment, which is not as good as online games to continue to make money. In order to reduce risk, pay for yourself as quickly as possible, and make more profits, games on consoles are often very expensive.
The price is generally more than fifty or sixty meters, of which more than 100 meters is not uncommon, and the 3A-level masterpiece that has just been listed is often eighty or ninety meters yuan, which is a severe test for most players' wallets.
In order to relieve the pressure on the wallet and save money, one of the most popular ways in the European and American console circles is to buy different games with a few friends, and exchange discs with each other after playing.
This is also a form of acquiescence from major console manufacturers, after all, compared to the pirated players, these genuine players who have slightly exploited some loopholes are undoubtedly much cuter.
Of course, if you're going to open a for-profit game disc rental store, that's a different story.
Shelton, a tall, thin white youth, Leonard, a short, bespectacled man, Howard, a big-nosed Jew, and Rajesh, a brown-skinned A-3, all four of whom work together at a university in Levia, are very good friends on weekdays.
The four of them also live in close proximity, for example, Sheldon and Leonard live opposite the door, while Rajesh simply borrows Howard's house, so it's very convenient to share the game.
As soon as the door of Best Sell opened, countless people flocked in, and their purpose was very clear, that is, the home entertainment equipment area inside, and the game and audio area next to it!
Sheldon and the other four also followed the flow of people that night, or were coerced by the flow of people, came here and joined the scramble.
"This is the first time I saw it!"
"Fack! Let me go! ”
"Look over there! There's a flying saucer over there! ”
"Where's the salesperson? Hurry up and restock! ”
"You go and grab the machine, and we'll grab the CD."
"Don't squeeze! I'm going to get my squeezed out! ”
"Damn, who's touching my ass!"
"You can't touch the front!"
……
In the dense human legs, Leonard's glasses were crooked, his hair was disheveled, and he was prostrate and rolled out holding the box of an X-box.
Immediately after, the same crawled out of the ground was the Jew Howard, who obviously had several footprints on his clothes, but fortunately he also had an X-box Scorpio in his hand.
On the other hand, the results of the other two are not very optimistic, and the game audio and video area has turned into a huge colosseum, where countless people fight and fight with others in the game competition.
The tall, thin Sheldon was visibly overwhelmed by the situation in front of him, and stood motionless.
Fortunately, Asan Rajesh obviously had the experience to deal with such a big scene, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his clothes were sparsely ragged from the game video area, and he got together with three other companions.
"Why didn't you grab it?" Looking at Rajesh with empty hands, Howard opened his mouth wide: "We have grabbed the host!" ”
"Of course I did." Rajesh looked around for a moment before putting his hand into his clothes and taking the game out: "But the competition is too fierce elsewhere, and I only grabbed this one." ”
"Superman on the Far Eastern Battlefield? A game for the Chinese? Leonard sighed, "You might as well have grabbed nothing." ”
"Oh, you've been beaten anyway, why don't you grab Red Dead Redemption 2?" Howard glanced at the battle that had already entered the white-hot battle not far away, and shrugged: "Okay, when I didn't say it. ”
"Hey, it looks like that's it for today, let's go back first, and we'll figure out how to play other games later." Leonard sighed again and made a suggestion.
Both agreed, except for Sheldon, who didn't speak, so everyone settled the bill and drove to Leonard's house.
Connecting the newly purchased game console to the TV, Leonard brought a hint of excitement in his tone: "Okay, let's see how this Chinese game is doing......"
As he spoke, he planned to open the box of "Superman on the Far Eastern Battlefield" that he had just bought, and insert the disc into the console.
At this point, Sheldon spoke, "Actually, we can try another game." ”
"What?" The crowd turned around.
I saw Sheldon take off his pants and take out another game disc box hidden in his underwear, which is Call of Duty 14: WWII.
"When did you hide the game?" Leonard's mouth opened wide.
"I said why didn't you speak all the way." Howard's face froze.
"Well, it doesn't seem like there's any payment, right?" Rajesh looked puzzled.
"It rolled to my feet, and I ...... it," explained slightly, and Sheldon spread his hands, "It's going to kill me all the way." ”
"Okay, okay." Leonard stepped up and played the round: "We'll just go and pay the bill together tomorrow." ”
"But today......" he held out his hand, holding it up.
The other three did the same, with all four chanting, "Game night!" ”
Soon, Sheldon's TV was also moved from the opposite door, connected to two X-box Scorpio consoles, and began to read discs and install games.
A table full of snacks of all kinds, followed by a bickering.
"Oh, and of course I'll play Call of Duty 14: WWII first." Howard began by saying, "You know, I'm Jewish. ”
"No, no, no, Call of Duty 14: WWII started with the Normandy landings, who landed in Normandy? Of course, we are from the United States! Leonard didn't budge.
"No, you're wrong, in fact, when the Normandy landings were not just Mi people, but more Anglo-French troops." Sheldon glanced at each other.
"Okay, I know, I'm not fighting, I'm going to play Superman on the Far Eastern Battlefield." Rajesh, a triad of Assan, spread his hands.
"Oh, Sheldon, I remember, you seem to have studied Chinese, right?" Leonard began to fight back.
……
As a result of the final argument, Sheldon and Rajesh played Superman on the Far Eastern Battlefield, while Leonard and Howard played Mission? Call 14: World War II.
After the game is installed, the controller is clicked, and the game screen starts to load on the TV screen.
