Chapter 138
136. Who is behind? Who is embarrassed
Shanda’s boss Qiao Tianchen chose to play games because he likes to play games.
Even Qiao Tianchen looked down on games or even hated games in his bones.
The main reason is that I feel that my R&D strength is insufficient, and considering that the production pressure and cost of portal websites and emails are relatively high, while the domestic online games are just starting out, and there are only two themes on the market, namely Stone Age and Three Kingdoms Online.
In his opinion, this is still a blue ocean and has great market potential.
That's why I chose the path of proxy games.
...
"It's really the wind direction has changed."
Xishanju, after seeing the news that Shanda Legend was launched, Qiu Bojun couldn't help but sigh.
"The Stone Age only began to emerge at the beginning of this year. Why did it follow up so quickly at this time?"
In addition to Kingsoft, many people in the industry are waiting and looking forward, and spending their time in panic.
If the Stone Age knocked outside the door.
Then Bomi is equivalent to using the Three Kingdoms Online to smash the door to the Chinese online game market with great force.
When the door opens, many followers will inevitably come in from outside the door with foreign games.
For example, this time the Grand Legend.
Zhiguan Game Company, which has developed Gu Long Qunxia Chuan, is already developing new online games.
On NetEase, Ding Sanshi also put all his wealth on the game.
Speaking of which, NetEase has had a tragedy in the past two years. It was the Nasdaq bubble burst as soon as it went public in 2000. Later, it bought strongly in the BBK Duan Yongping Duan. With a strong increase of more than 100 million yuan, NetEase finally breathed.
Finally, we had a better opportunity, but unexpectedly we encountered 911 again, and the rice stock market fell sharply.
NetEase's stock suffered another heavy blow.
There are even people from the Securities Regulatory Bureau investigating NetEase, saying that they have problems with their business and are now likely to face the risk of suspension of trading.
In this case, online games are Ding Sanshi's only life-saving straw.
...
However, when everyone thinks that Legend will enter the domestic market with a strong force and open up another new situation, Shanda can also make money crazy, the result is unexpected-
Legendary Waterloo.
This star-level game that was popular in Kanzi Country and has been rising to new highs. Under Shanda’s agent, there were less than 30,000 registered in the first week and less than 1,000 people online.
As this momentum continues, this game may be the first online game to die in the country.
"Impossible!"
Cao Yang himself was also very surprised.
The passionate legend in his previous life has supported countless gold-fighting studios, but he actually fell in the first battle he entered the domestic market?
There is no reason.
...
Two weeks later, the number of players in Legend has continued to grow slowly.
The biggest obstacle is that the domestic online game market is not big enough, but because-
In front of the legendary road, there is a huge roadblock.
The name of this roadblock is called "Three Kingdoms Online"
There have been many bad reviews about legends on the Internet:
[Friends, is anyone playing legend? I heard that Shanda Legend seems to be quite fun. Does anyone take me with you?]
[Hey, it’s hard to describe it. As a veteran, I advise you not to play this game. It’s really a scumbag]
【Hmm? Why?】
[This game is not as good as Three Kingdoms Online. It is better to go back and fight the national war in Three Kingdoms. Isn’t playing Three Kingdoms Online more fragrant than this garbage legend?]
[My slot, I just went in and played it. Is this game a bit too exaggerated? Look at the screenshot I posted: Legend.jpg]
[This is a demon from the East, I don’t know where it came from]
【Yes, yes, it is really not the same level as Three Kingdoms Online.】
In fact, it is no wonder that the legendary style is not good. If there is no comparison between the Three Kingdoms online, then in this era of scarcity of online games, the legendary style and quality are also acceptable.
Its head and body are more realistic than it takes, but the character maps and shapes tend to be exaggerated.
In later terms, there was a strong Shamatt style.
This is also a legendary feature.
Moreover, once players get used to the Three Kingdoms Online with Chinese classical characteristics, they have a preconceived concept, which makes it difficult for other games to accept.
【The most important thing, friends, do you know what it is?】
【What is it?】
[The gameplay of this game, whether it is PK, monster fighting, character skills, equipment system... These feelings are all copied from Three Kingdoms Online, but they are far worse than Three Kingdoms Online]
【Ah this…】
[Since this is the case, I think it would be better to play Three Kingdoms online]
This is called no harm without comparison.
Rather than saying that legend copied the Three Kingdoms Online, it is better to say that when Bomi made the Three Kingdoms Online, he borrowed the legend in terms of PVP.
Of course, it was the boss who used his memories of his previous life to learn from it.
The world game is a big copy, the advanced one is copied.
There are only so many ways to play MMORPG, especially the design of PK gameplay, which is normal to look a bit similar to Legend.
As for the equipment, upgrades and skills in the game, it is actually because of the similarity in the game design that players think that the legend has plagiarized.
More people think that the legend copied the Three Kingdoms Online for several main reasons:
1. Everyone is instant
2. They are all role-playing, and players control the main characters.
3. The career naming is also very similar:
The main professions of Three Kingdoms Online are now added to 5 types: warrior, swordsman, alchemist, warlock, archer
The legendary professions are: warrior, mage, and Taoist priest. (The first version has only 3 professions)
Not only are the professions similar, but the legend also has two less professions than others.
【This is really embarrassing】
[I heard that this game was developed by Bangzi. Are they so shameless? They actually copied the game from our country]
[It's too late to develop? At most, I just borrowed a little from it]
[And there is little content, and there is nothing besides fighting. Look at Bomi’s Three Kingdoms Online. It often fights forces and fights fiercely. Don’t be too lively in the battle for hegemony in the Thirteen Kingdoms, right?]
[The Three Kingdoms Online has now been completed by them in the old silver coin game. You can imagine how rich and the depth of the game are]
[In this way, the legend seems to be like a castrated version of Three Kingdoms Online. I changed my skin. The gameplay is not as good as others, and I was crushed by Three Kingdoms Online in all aspects.]
[Forget it, I still support domestic games, Bomi Xiong! Three Kingdoms Online Xiong!]
...
Cao Yang himself did not expect this to be the case.
"Damn, the legend was actually sniped by us?!"
Only the little secretary looked proud.
The boss's perception this time is not clear enough.
The little secretary made tea for the boss and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Isn't this a matter of course? This is what is called the so-called embarrassment of who will play in the same type of game."
Chapter completed!
