There are still two days until Linmu Studio’s console is released.
The ban on media comments will be lifted immediately.
Because the time between release and official sale is very short.
Therefore, Lin Yao did not advance the lifting date too early. After all, time was too tight, it was a new console, and there were a lot of games.
Lin Yao felt that it might take a certain amount of time for the other party to play all the games, so he set the date of lifting the ban two days before the release.
And this day.
Because Linmu Studio’s console is about to be released.
Therefore, domestic discussions about consoles and escort masterpieces have also reached a peak...
Because you can play it right away.
on the forum.
Players were excitedly discussing when they would receive their pre-ordered consoles, how the game was, whether it was as amazing as the video, and even predicted Linmu Studio's console sales in the first month.
In short.
There are many related posts.
But the situation is very good.
on that night.
At half past ten, it was completely destroyed.
Because a new post appeared on the forum...
[Sad news, Linmu Studio’s console switch has a CGN score of only 7 points! 】
Originally, this period of time.
The announcement by Linmu Studio and the release of the actual video have raised expectations to the highest level.
But such a post directly poured cold water on all players...
The players immediately clicked on the post and read the detailed content.
The content of the post is reproduced, and the comments are all in English.
However, players can still understand the Arabic numerals of the ratings and the game cover...
And the rating... is not terrible though.
But compared to the scores of Linmu Studio’s previous works, it’s really unsatisfactory.
[Switch: 7 points, the battery life is not satisfactory, and the positioning is vague. As a handheld console, it is indeed powerful, but as a home console, it cannot compete with Peria at all.
New
1 In comparison, due to confusion in positioning, Peria’s Peria has a clear positioning.
Helder has more selling points. However, as a new concept product, its performance in basic hardware design and concept implementation is very good, and it can barely be considered a promising product in the future.】
["Splatoon": 7 points, a colorful, cute, and non-violent team shooting game. However, it is estimated that not many players can accept this unique shooting game. After all, although it is cute, it is difficult to keep players interested. 】
["Mario Kart": 7 points, very creatively adding props to the game, it is a very good racing work, but from another perspective, more fun means that the fun of racing is greatly reduced...
Compared with traditional racing games, the feeling of being hit by a prop and then losing the lead is not pleasant, because it has nothing to do with the racing itself.】
【《1-2
Switch》: 6 points, the game content lacks depth, and it is difficult to regain interest after playing it once.】
["The Legend of Zelda": 6.9 points. The art style is unique, but the picture precision is average, and the gameplay is quite interesting. However, as an open world game, it lacks a clear guidance method, and players can easily be aimless. This is a failure.
】
soon.
Someone has translated the specific content of the review below the post.
After all, there are a lot of people paying attention.
The players who browsed the post looked at the ratings and comments with strange expressions on their faces.
You said this review is good, what a piece of shit!
Almost all four games have obvious shortcomings. The console is unsatisfactory, Splatoon cannot accept many players, Mario Kart has no racing fun, and The Legend of Zelda lacks a clear guidance method, 1-2
Switch is the worst, not even a good word...
But you said it's really very bad, maybe as bad as the center of the earth, but it doesn't seem to be that bad, because in the review, I praised a few things, such as being very creative, the gameplay is interesting, and the performance is very good...
But overall.
Players have indeed been poured cold water on...
A big dish of cold water.
Players who were looking forward to it as it was about to be released immediately started to murmur the moment they saw the review.
Players who responded below the post also started to become suspicious and worried.
"Is this fake!? Doesn't Linmu Studio never send games to the review media in advance?"
"Don't give CGN the courage to review the game? Don't want the reputation? You can drown them with just your saliva. It must have been given away...Linmu Studio may really value this console and escort masterpiece, so it gave it to the media.
Let’s evaluate it, I didn’t expect the other party to be so disrespectful..."
"What's the point of giving face? Aren't reviews supposed to be fair and fair? I don't want to buy "The Legend of Zelda" now..."
"It feels a bit strange, why do you mention Peria's consoles and handheld consoles in the review of Switch?"
"It's a comparison, but I'm a little disappointed after reading the review. I'll check it out after it's released."
"I don't believe CGN's reviews. Their reviews are often bullshit!"
"Four games, one console, none of them exceeds 8 points. It's really miserable."
"this……"
"..."
Although most of the players' responses are meaningless.
But they were right about one thing.
Linmu Studio really values this console and escort masterpiece.
So it's such a big thing.
the next day.
Early in the morning on January 14th.
Lin Yao received the news...
In the conference room.
She listened to Mu Wanqing's report with a strange expression on her face, looking astonished.
How dare they...?
Let’s not talk about the specific quality of the game.
After all, our Linmu Studio is sending you a game for review for the first time, and this is what you strongly requested.
Just give this evaluation? Almost half of it is bad words? Just a few good words?
She looked at the other people in the conference room.
Everyone looked like they wanted to kill CGN’s mother...
She retracted her gaze, lowered her head again, and then picked up the specific content of the review printed by Mu Wanqing. After thinking for a while, she raised her head and asked, "Does this have anything to do with Peria?"
"should have."
Mu Wanqing nodded heavily and continued: "But this is just a guess, because there is no actual evidence. CGN has always been able to get the breaking news of Peria first-hand, and most of Peria's advertising in Europe and the United States is owned by CGN.
media group..."
Mu Wanqing explained her guess.
In fact, she was pretty close to guessing.
Peria is involved with CGN.
CGN is afraid that Peria will fall out or something.
After hearing this, Lin Yao laughed angrily: "That's great! It's hard to keep players interested? It doesn't feel good to be hit by an item and then lose the lead? Lack of clear guidance?... They are afraid that Peria will fall out, but they are not afraid
Are we falling out?
You take the initiative to ask for a console review, and treat us like this? You are not even willing to find a knowledgeable editor to review the game, how awesome is that!"
now.
What makes Lin Yao most angry is not that reviews contain private goods, nor is it the ratings.
In the past life, the score of the switch... didn't seem to be very good. The score given by an editor in the early stage was even as low as six points.
Later, the final score was changed to eight points.
As for the ratings of those games, if they are reasonable and well-founded, she can barely regard them as inappropriate for the personal taste of the review editor.
But it’s not like this at all!
She can't accept it at all now, because the comments in these reviews don't look like they were written by a gamer who likes games!
"..."
Others saw Lin Yao who was laughing angrily.
He also had an angry look on his face.
The reason why they are most angry is somewhat different from Lin Yao.
Most people feel that the other party is really disrespectful.
Did you guys come to ask for the console on your own? This is the first time the two parties have cooperated. Linmu Studio still gave you the exclusive right to evaluate it. Is this how you rate it? This is how you rate it before the console is released?
Even if the game is really that bad and not to the review editor's liking, any normal person would know that they should give it some face at this time, right?
Are you afraid that Peria will fall out?
Do you really think Linmu Studio is easy to bully?
And the game is really that bad!? Fuck you!
but.
Although the main reasons for the anger were different, everyone in the conference room was very angry.
"Lin Yao, I will immediately ask someone to make an announcement and publicly say that I will not recognize their ratings! In the future, the game will not be reviewed by them, and I will even say that I will never cooperate with them and will not recognize their ratings. That's bullshit."
!”
Zhong Xiu punched the table hard and said angrily.
Chen Qiuwen added: "On this basis, you can also send the game to other game media for evaluation. I don't believe that all evaluation media will give the same score! I have played our game! It is not bad at all!"
"In addition, if this score is released at this time, it will definitely affect the console that will be released tomorrow. We are suing them..."
Zhu Nianqiao was the last to speak.
"..."
Lin Yao heard what they said, took a deep breath, barely suppressed the anger in her heart, and said: "It's not necessary. If you publicly deny the scores and then announce that you will never cooperate, you will only be considered to have hit the sore point and become angry and petty. You will not cooperate in the future."
Yes, but there is no need to say it publicly, at least not before the console is released."
"As for sending games to other game media, there is no need! The console game will be released soon, let them buy the console for review! We contacted them in a hurry, why should we be angry?"
"There is no need to sue. The reason is the same as the first point."
"Then let's forget it?" Zhu Nianqiao looked unwilling, "We just accept their ratings? We can only wait for the redress after the release?"
"We acknowledge their ratings."
Lin Yao flicked her ponytail: "But don't forget it! Zhong Xiu!"
She suddenly called out to Zhong Xiu.
"exist!"
"The recent reform of the rating mechanism of the Vaporwave game platform has been launched ahead of schedule, and an announcement will be made later. All games under Linmu Studio will be based on the ratings of the Vaporwave game platform."
On the Vaporwave gaming platform, aspects that Lin Yao had not considered before have begun to gradually improve.
For example, the item ‘Recent Scores’ will be online soon.
"Okay." Zhong Xiu's eyes lit up.
This can be considered a response! From now on, the evaluation of Vaporwave games will be the standard. The subtext is that the game evaluation media is the diva!
"besides."
Lin Yao paused, looked at Zhong Xiu, and said calmly:
"Please put CGN's ratings, especially 6.9 points! Into all subsequent related promotional videos! Put all the game ratings given by CGN this time! Paste them at the beginning of our game's promotional videos! After the game is released, we will
Post the ratings from other game media! But CGN’s ratings! They should be placed in the middle of the beginning of the promotional video!
No matter they change the rating or contact us in the future, they will reject it and will not change it no matter what! We recognize the rating they gave! Our Linmu Studio only recognizes the rating they give now!
Moreover, we still need to promote it! Keep promoting it!
Six point nine, right?
We are shameless!
Let me see if they want it!
I don't believe it anymore.
Players can't give a fair score yet!
I would like to see if all game media give it a score of 6.9!"
