After all, CGN is quite famous, and this is the first time that Linmu Studio has sent a game for early review. Previous Linmu Studio games have received very high ratings from CGN.
So players are more inclined to believe in CGN.
this day.
Not only were switch pre-sales affected, there were even many pre-order players who wanted their deposits refunded...
However, Lin Mu Studio also made some moves today.
They launched a new version of the Vaporwave game platform, adding a ‘recent score’ function to the original game scoring mechanism, and stated that all Linmu Studio’s games in the future will be based on the ratings of Vaporwave game platform players.
This is a response.
There are some effects.
But not very big.
It just makes the doubts a little less, and some players who doubt the CGN rating are a little louder.
And the other side.
After hearing what brothers Kevin and James said, the editor-in-chief of CGN.
do not know why.
I always feel very uneasy.
So late at night domestic time, at nine o'clock North American Eastern Daylight Time, as soon as I arrived at the company, I asked about Lin Mu Studio's reaction and asked if the other party had called.
His secretary told him about Lin Mu Studio's actions.
Then when faced with the question of whether the editor-in-chief had called him, he shook his head slightly.
The editor-in-chief of CGN immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
fine.
Linmu Studio's tactic of criticizing the Vaporwave game platform has little impact on them...
but.
He found it quite strange that Lin Mu Studio didn't call and curse him angrily.
Could it be that Wayne is really a blind cat and a dead mouse?
They themselves think that the console's escort masterpiece is just average?
So when faced with this rating, we could only point fingers and scold Huai without calling us to question it?
It seems that Wayne has really played the game seriously...
originally.
After hearing what James and Kevin said, the editor-in-chief of CGN thought of a whole set of countermeasures.
That is, after Wayne's review was released and caused a big impact, an announcement was made saying that it was just a preliminary score.
If after the console and game are released, the ratings are significantly different from those of other peers.
He released James and Kevin's comments as the final score...
This should be able to minimize the impact. Anyway, the early score is not very low, and the advantages are not mentioned in the reviews.
If the situation becomes more serious and it doesn't work, you can let Wayne resign and take the blame...
We ourselves questioned the professionalism of the review editor! Then we fired him! You have nothing to say, right?
This is his plan.
After all, he is not a fool and has rich experience in dealing with capsized boats in the gutter.
But now it seems.
It seems that there is no need to go to war so much...
The editor-in-chief of CGN looked at the switch console at the table that he had not yet taken back to play, and shook his head.
Fortunately, it's an Eastern game company...
Otherwise, it really wouldn’t have ended so easily...
at the same time.
Outside the editor-in-chief's office.
Kevin and James also saw Linmu Studio's actions.
"It doesn't seem like there's much reaction...it's strange, don't they want to cause trouble?"
James looked at the posts on the forum questioning the switch, and as he was talking, he suddenly realized: "No, they may be thinking that players will give fair evaluations! That's why they didn't say anything more! Fortunately, CGN is really lucky!
"
"No."
Kevin stood aside and shook his head slightly, then sighed: "I have a hunch that the other party won't just let it go..."
…
domestic.
One night passed.
January 15th has finally arrived.
The switch console has ushered in its release date.
Although, something unexpected happened two days ago, and CGN’s review poured cold water on all the players who were looking forward to it.
But most domestic players are still interested in consoles.
They thought that even if the host failed this time, Linmu Studio would definitely be able to optimize it in the future, so they finally chose to pay the balance.
soon.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
The first domestic player to get a console has appeared.
His name is Ma Yuwen, an ordinary social worker. Because his home happens to be near a video game store and he is familiar with the boss, he directly ordered one and got it in advance.
I came home with a small box in my arms.
Once the door is closed.
He couldn't wait to open the box.
And as soon as he took out the host in the promotional video... Ma Yuwen's face immediately showed an excited look.
Although after reading CGN’s review, Ma Yuwen was also a little worried about the quality of Linmu Studio’s console and escort masterpiece.
But I have to admit it.
The moment you open the box and pick up the console is truly exciting.
He couldn't wait to play with the console for a while, and tried to disassemble the handle. After he was almost satisfied, he put down the console, picked up the base, and then connected it with tinkering.
soon.
He did everything according to the instructions, picked up the console again and pressed the power button.
After simple settings.
Ma Yuwen picked up one of the game boards and opened it.
"I hope you won't be too disappointed..."
After the excitement of unboxing gradually faded away.
Real problems emerged.
Although this thing is much cheaper than other consoles, it is not cheap either.
If the game is really as average as CGN reviews.
That is blood loss...
It is precisely because of this concern that he originally planned to buy all the major escort games, but now he has only purchased two games.
One is "The Legend of Zelda" and the other is "Mario Kart".
The former has always been promoted as a C position, and it is the escort masterpiece that Lin Mu Studio values the most. Although the rating is not high, there are still some praises in the reviews, so Ma Yuwen still bought it.
As for the latter, although the review said that adding props was not good, for some reason, he still thought the gameplay in the promotional video was interesting, so he finally bit the bullet and bought it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And what he is opening now is the physical disk of "The Legend of Zelda".
Take out the cassette and insert it into the host.
Ma Yuwen looked like in the promotional video, holding both sides of the console with both hands, then adjusted his sitting posture and started the game.
The game officially begins.
In total darkness.
Light appears.
A halo bursts out with bright golden light, just like the light that a person who has been comatose for a long time sees when he just wakes up.
then.
"Wake up..."
"Link, wake up."
Accompanied by shouts of 'Link, wake up'.
The protagonist, Link, wakes up from the altar.
A dazzling blue light appeared on the screen, and then, like a person waking up for the first time after a big dream, the picture gradually became clearer, and a strange-shaped, lamp-like thing appeared above the head...
Link stood up from the altar.
The camera slowly zooms out.
The full view of the altar also appeared on the screen.
The altar has a unique shape, with winding and twisted lines engraved on it, and the blue light flashes like breathing, giving it a full sense of shape.
The entire enclosed space was hazy, like a fantasy dream.
This is just the beginning.
This unique art style allows Ma Yuwen to enter the game.
And after the short CG.
Players can then control the protagonist Link.
Ma Yuwen controls the protagonist like a child. He does not immediately follow the prompts to go to the strangely shaped stone platform, but looks around at the magnificent and fantastic scenes.
Until I feel like I've seen enough.
After following the instructions, I got the Shikar Stone and continued walking forward.
Open two treasure chests along the way and get the initial clothes and pants.
The system prompts how to put it on.
Then the door opened.
The light source shines in through the door.
Ma Yuwen had average abilities and ran towards the light source. He controlled the protagonist Link, and while he was familiar with functions such as running, climbing walls, and switching perspectives, he climbed up a big step without much effort and continued walking outside following the sunshine.
The moment you walk out of the cave.
The character escapes Ma Yuwen's control.
Link faced the light and walked towards the outside world.
then.
The scenery of the initial platform comes into view.
The camera zooms in, as if watching Link, and then slowly pulls up, taking in the scenery in the distance and the scenery Link sees.
Looking from a distance, you can see the vast sky, blurred mountain lines, rising afterglow, volcanoes spewing black smoke, and flowing black castles.
At the bottom of the mountain, there are lush trees and vast grasslands...
The camera moves slowly.
Show everything to the player in front of the screen.
Quiet music sounded, and under the fantasy and magnificent scenery, the name of the game "The Legend of Zelda" slowly appeared in the lower right corner of the game.
The scenery at this moment.
Really... so beautiful!
The sense of this lens... is simply invincible!
When Ma Yuwen saw this shot, he subconsciously directly inserted the console into the base.
