"Farming, collecting, mining, fishing, preparing for celebrations, and even getting married and having children, I'm afraid you will be very confused when you see these contents, but if I said these are the many ways to play in one game, what would you say?
Feel?"
"I'm afraid you will be as confused as I was when I came into contact with this game for the first time. What fun is there in playing this way? Your daily life is already like this, why are you so bored that you want to find such a life again in the game?
?This is completely unreasonable."
"Aren't video games supposed to be the kind of games that are full of fantasy, or games with eye-stimulating content like guns, cars, and balls? What kind of fun can there be in ordinary life?"
"Indeed, this content will seem really boring at first glance. Even the Sims is just a role-playing game in disguise. If you really ask yourself to do farm work, go mining, fishing and gathering, you will definitely not be able to accept it.
of."
"But I want to tell everyone who is reading this review article that it is normal for you to think this way, but if you think this way you will also miss an excellent game, and the name of this game is 'Star'
Dew Valley Talk'"
"This is a game that looks a little rough in graphics and has very bad movements. The initial impression on people from all aspects is definitely not very good, but this is just the appearance. The real core is definitely able to make people feel better.
You will be surprised. Only by actually trying it will you understand why I say these things in life are so interesting to try again."
“Farming, collecting, mining, fishing, preparing for celebrations, and even getting married and having children, all of these are very similar to life, but there are many differences. In this world of Stardew Valley, you can
Feeling a different kind of warmth can make people temporarily forget the troubles in life, just like the letter left by the protagonist's grandfather at the beginning of the game, hoping that the protagonist can find inner peace, and after playing
People who play this game can definitely get the same feeling..."
Kazuo Murakami tried his best to use all kinds of nice words to praise this game.
This is really one of the rare games that really touches him.
So he willingly took the initiative to promote this game, hoping that more people would discover this game.
After posting this article, Kazuo Murakami once again plunged into the world of Stardew Valley. Now he has opened the third save file, striving to be perfect and impeccable at the beginning.
About two or three days passed after he posted this article, which happened to be a week after Stardew Valley was released.
In just one week, the average online time of Stardew Valley players on the Battle.net platform was as high as more than six hours.
Generally, a student who is going to school or a working adult has an average of about eight hours of working time every day, and then about eight hours of rest and sleep time. The remaining eight hours are the time for daily life.
Now a game occupies six hours of these people's eight hours of daily life, nearly 80% of their time. This is enough to prove that this game has made many people addicted to it in a very short period of time.
.
Not only that, after a week of fermentation, the game sold 50,000 copies in the first week.
This sales volume is nothing to Youxing Electronic Entertainment. They have already counted millions of games in the first week on their fingers, but this game is different.
This game does not have any halo blessing, and the appearance looks very bad. Compared with other games of the same era, it is really rough. This game has not yet been launched on mainstream game consoles and handheld platforms, but it has chosen the most unpopular one at the moment.
PC platform, this doesn’t look like it will be a big hit.
Zhu Youxing estimated that the first week would be about ten to twenty thousand, but fifty thousand was actually a bit more than he imagined.
But he soon learned that Kazuo Murakami contributed to this.
This person took the initiative to become a troll for this game, helping to promote this game crazily, and even published several recommended articles. If Takeyusei hadn't known that Murakami Kazuo is a person who sticks to the bottom line, and this game
Even if he made it himself, he even suspected that Kazuo Murakami used the advertising money for this game to advertise.
And with the recommendation of Kazuo Murakami, who is now quite famous, he immediately caused a chain effect, reaching sales of more than 50,000, which exceeded Takeyusei's imagination.
Naturally, Zhuyouxing will not miss this publicity opportunity.
After seeing that Kazuo Murakami was taking the initiative to become a troll, he also directly used the name of his company to announce the sales of Stardew Valley in the first week.
The original reputation of Battle.net as just a StarCraft launcher has begun to fade away, and Stardew Valley has directly topped the bestseller list on Battle.net's store page.
Battle.net is still just a very young digital game platform, and everything is still in a grassroots state. There are only two games, StarCraft and Doom, to support the scene. No one expected that a small game would suddenly pop up in the process.
Quite a little dark horse.
The price is only 1,700 yen, even a steak is more expensive than this. The only regret is that this game is not a physical version, only a digital version, which makes some physical collectors unhappy.
However, this does not affect the popularity of this game.
After Kazuo Murakami took the initiative to advertise and Yuxing Electronic Entertainment began to recommend the game through its own channels, more and more people began to become interested in Stardew Valley, especially working-class white-collar workers.
Most of them are now in their twenties or thirties, and have just entered society.
Among them, there was a person named Chiko Suzuki who couldn't put it down at all as soon as he came into contact with this game.
In his usual work, his spirit was almost overwhelmed by the continuous work, and his spirit fell into a state of temporary collapse and confusion.
At this time, Stardew Valley appeared. He was originally a StarCraft player. Of course, he was at a level where he was addicted to food. He was often killed instantly by high-level players and turned into a scumbag.
The feeling of losing every day in competitive games is no less than being madly criticized by his boss at work. As time goes by, he has become a little tired.
It happened that Kazuo Murakami, whom he often followed, published a review article on Stardew Valley, and at the end of the article he gave the game a five-star super praise game.
Five-star super praise. This is the first game so far besides Yusei Electronic Entertainment to be rated as five-star by Kazuo Murakami, so no matter what, Chiko Suzuki will give it a try.
Then, he also fell.
However, he is different from other people who play Stardew Valley. When he plays this game, the first thing he thinks of is his parents in the countryside.
