Earlier this month, I accidentally stepped on a thunderbolt and bought a game that I wasn’t very happy with.
The game is called “IMMORTALITY”, and the media score was as high as 91 at the beginning of the lifting of the ban. Such a high evaluation made me, who was not very fond of interactive movie games, try it out with an early adopter attitude. Sure enough, after about 10 hours of hard work, it is difficult for me to give a decent evaluation of the game. If I can wait a little patiently for a while until the word of mouth of the rating website I trust is released, maybe I will not open this game at all.
A rating website with similar tastes to me rated “Immortal”, although there are only 10 data
To be honest, stepping on thunder is a common occurrence. With hundreds of new games every year, it is inevitable that you will play a few works that you don’t like. I thought it was over, until I listened to the old-generation radio station of UP host Lunamos at station B on the way to work a few days ago, and some of the content about the “delayed game” that he said made me feel a little bit. Come to think of it, this is quite similar to how I felt when I played Immortal.
80% of the delayed game is the UP master’s own words. The main idea is not to follow the players, nor to pursue popular new products. Only after the game’s popularity cools down and the wind reviews land, you can start to experience the game – in short, it is to make up for the old work. .
The concept Lunamos mentioned on the radio is very interesting. If there is such a classic masterpiece, you have already heard it for a long time, but you have no motivation to open the game. , the taps in the community forum are crazy about Amway, knowing that this high-definition remake is essentially no different from the original game, will you be interested in buying the game?
I don’t know what most people think, but I think I still will. We live in an era of highly developed information. Once the information flow that we are used to seeing is filled with the evaluations and judgments of others, it will more or less affect our own thoughts and plans. Games are relatively cheap entertainment carriers, and naturally they cannot escape the fate of being discussed. The super-high ratings from multiple media and the collective praise of players will inevitably cause my wallet to start to dry out. I have already bought several games after I recovered. Of course, “Immortal” is the first XGP game, so I actually No loss either.
On the other hand, if it wasn’t for the first XGP, I probably wouldn’t try it.
But many times, at least most of the time, it is not a good choice to get through the game as soon as possible, at least the benefits of slowing down are more obvious. Cool the hot new game for half a year or even a year, the game’s reputation and word of mouth will have more evidence, and the bugs in the game will be repaired to seventy-eighty-eight (2077 is probably an exception), in order to boost sales, most manufacturers will also Promotions and discounts have begun, and some popular games have even completed large-scale DLCs, so it seems that delayed games are perfect.
However, the popularity of the first game was missed, and the delay in the game brought a lack of social aspects. The discussion was in full swing. It is not a very good experience to be sad when playing old games from a few years ago. Some games that are mainly based on online experience will completely lose the fun after the ghost server. This is no different from the animation industry next door: do you prefer to discuss the weekly updated episodes with everyone, or are you more comfortable with making up the episodes alone after the work is finished? There are many people who can tolerate this loneliness, but I have also seen many players who automatically filter old games. For them, “game” is a term that unilaterally refers to new games that will be released in the future.
At the same time, the delayed game itself is challenging the ever-changing and fast-moving gaming industry on its own. The picture quality of “Horizon Zero Dawn” in 2017 was unparalleled. As a result, the next year we saw the magical light and shadow performance of “Red Dead Redemption 2”. In two years, the technical power of “The Last of Us 2” Started to dominate again.
From today’s perspective, “Horizon Zero Dawn” is definitely not outdated, but it will certainly not be as stunning as when it was first released. When you look at and evaluate these works from the perspective of “old games”, in fact, it already contains a derogatory emotion. You are forcing yourself to evaluate this work in 2017, and tacitly agree that “old games are not as good as new games.” normal”. How to restore the factory settings of the brain that has been washed by new things, and look at the games from a few years ago or even decades ago from a new perspective, is indeed a science.
Having said so many shortcomings, it seems that as long as you endure the deserted discussion environment and relatively outdated technical capabilities, there is nothing wrong with delaying the game. I often see two groups of players arguing about this: the one who thinks that they are already “electronically impotent” and has no interest in new games at all;
The latter is obviously discussed on the basis of XGP, PS second gear, and piles of ashes in the Steam library. If you are willing to take the initiative to try to touch the well-known outdated masterpieces, you will never be able to finish the countless masterpieces accumulated in the history of video games. Life is too short, and I really want to spend more time on delaying games.
Now know where to go to buy a good game? -CaesarZX
