Chapter 347: Mixed Praises and Criticisms? The Throne of Terror!
As the weather gets cooler and the golden autumn season arrives, media ratings for Resident Evil 7 are released one after another.
However, perhaps it is because this Resident Evil is not an original IP of Golden Wind, or perhaps it is because this game does not have a groundbreaking improvement like the previous games, or perhaps it is because this game has a strong commercial connotation.
In short, its rating did not receive a high score of 9.8 or above like previous Golden Wind games.
The ratings given by various media outlets are uneven and even far apart!
The reviews given by the media who like Resident Evil 7 are explosive, and they love it to the core -
SNG Review (9.9/10): An exciting reboot of Resident Evil! Combining the PT horror atmosphere and the sense of urgency of escape, Resident Evil 7 is simply the best horror game in the era of somatosensory cabins! Dog-head key, mechanism decryption, exploration of human nature... These elements full of the flavor of Shinji Misho are now picked up by Sam again, and with the horror flavor of Golden Wind, this is a horror feast that you can't stop!
Huaxia Game Forum (9.9/10): There has never been such a wonderful horror game experience! The appropriate fear is always there, the endless puzzles and the deeply disturbing new settings are destined to make this Resident Evil a success! In our opinion, this is even a great work that is on par with Resident Evil 1 and surpasses Resident Evil 4!
SLGamers (9.8/10): The most successful horror game in the era of motion sensing cabins! There is no doubt that Resident Evil 7 successfully reversed the decline of the fifth and sixth parts, and revitalized the Resident Evil series IP. When you hear the calm and peaceful BGM at the save point, you will breathe a sigh of relief because you are temporarily safe - this long-lost feeling has been gone for a long time!
The blessing of the super IP and the creation of a horror atmosphere full of Gu Sheng’s personal style.
Golden Wind has achieved the previously promised "return to terror" with a very high degree of completion.
In the game, players can not only feel the horror and oppression that the old Resident Evil once brought them, but also witness Golden Wind's iconic and unique way of creating a horror atmosphere.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Resident Evil 7 is a horror feast.
This is also the fundamental reason why a number of game review media, led by SNG, gave high scores.
They viewed Resident Evil 7 as a whole. The high overall quality made them extremely satisfied and they all gave high scores.
but!
Some review media also focused on the detailed settings and structure of the game and gave their own opinions:
Tiantianyou News (9.5/10): There is no doubt that Resident Evil 7, which was taken over by Golden Wind and directed by Gu Sheng himself, is amazing. The familiar and frightening PT-style atmosphere, the tense and oppressive escape-style horror setting in the same space, and our familiar old friend Miles, everything here makes people feel novel and exciting. But it seems that it is precisely because of too many familiar flavors that the novelty of this work seems to be a little lacking.
Player's Bonfire (9.6/10): In any case, Golden Wind's return to horror challenge is indeed awe-inspiring, and in fact they have indeed been a great success, but it is undeniable that the problems do exist.
Hummingbird Game Forum (9.5/10): Obviously, this is an unfinished work. The combination of Golden Wind-style horror and Shinji Misho-style biochemical has created a new Resident Evil that is subversive enough to be called a game. Both the suspense in the demo and the "forte" in the main game are still fresh in people's memory. However, the repetitive problems presented by small areas in the later stages are also difficult to avoid for this game.
Around nine five.
Obviously, the reason why some media reviewers think that the score of Resident Evil 7 is not enough to reach above 9.8 is mainly due to the fact that the later stages of the game and the monsters are relatively repetitive, and the degree of innovation is not high.
good!
Although the evaluation scores from various media outlets vary, there is no doubt that the commercial value of this game is absolutely maximum!
With the support of the top super IP, Resident Evil 7 has achieved the most explosive sales in the history of the sensor cabin.
Global first week sales of 4.28 million copies!
Ranked second in the first week sales of Golden Wind Motion Sensor Cabin Game!
Second only to the dual-end release, Gu Sheng has devoted all his efforts to create the "love collaboration masterpiece" - "It Takes Two"!
Looking at the weekly sales performance of all Golden Wind games, "Resident Evil 7", which has the most mixed reviews, has also entered the top three (the first is Plants vs. Zombies)!
4.28 million units sold in a single week! $257 million in turnover and $193 million in net income!
It has become the best-selling horror game in history!
Commercial games are like this; they may receive mixed reviews, but this does not affect their terrifying ability to make money.
Relying on the topic created by the powerful publicity and promotion, as well as the acceptable quality of the film itself, it was not surprising for Gu Sheng to see such a success for Resident Evil 7.
Besides, everyone knows it.
In the ratings of Resident Evil 7, Golden Wind is at a disadvantage.
Because it is obvious that these game media reviewers have higher expectations for Golden Wind and Gu Sheng.
It can be seen from the minor issues that deducted points that they were comparing "the previous work of Golden Wind" with "the new work of Golden Wind".
Instead of using the traditional method of comparing games of the same type and period, we give Resident Evil 7 a score.
after all……
"Silent Hill 2: Reboot", which previously seemed to be the only game that could compete with "Resident Evil 7", now seems to have been forgotten by the gaming community.
Top global game review media such as China's Tiantianyoubao and foreign SNG did not even mention the name of Silent Hill 2.
Naturally, it is impossible to make a horizontal comparison.
Indeed.
Such a vertical comparison scoring method may not be fair to Golden Wind.
But there is no doubt that this is a hope and expectation for the Golden Wind, as well as a spur and encouragement to the Golden Wind.
They are eager to see more and more interesting game types born in Golden Wind.
Looking forward to the refreshing new game formats and gameplay to be created by Gu Sheng.
only!
They didn't expect it!
Golden Wind, a game with innovative gameplay, surfaced so quickly!
This is undoubtedly another high-scoring work, and it is also a small game——
Stardew Valley
Yes.
As most players have completed Resident Evil 7, relevant media reviews have come out, and the first week results have been announced, Golden Wind has also announced that it will release three subsequent DLCs in the last quarter of this year!
The discussion level on the topic of "Resident Evil" seems to have declined.
This is of course a key characteristic of commercial games - they usually don't last long.
It is under this circumstance!
Stardew Valley, which was previously hidden because of the "I hit myself" issue, has gradually been discovered by players who feel that there is a lack of games.
Many people are like A Yin before.
If they hadn't accidentally seen the relevant information about this work in forums or some short video comment sections , they wouldn't even know that Golden Wind actually released such a small pixel-style game at the same time as Resident Evil 7!
It had no publicity, and even the game release announcement on the official Golden Wind blog was buried in the promotion of Resident Evil 7, which was at its peak at the time and had attracted a lot of discussion among players and market attention.
It can be said to be really miserable.
And now, as the "big brother" has won the sales throne, he is feeling proud and proud.
The "little brother" of Stardew Valley has finally had his day to shine and has been discovered by more and more players.
Originally, everyone went there with the mentality of giving it a try.
However!
You won’t know until you try it!
Get started!
Players found themselves unable to stop!
…
"...Hurry up, cousin, go fishing, and then we'll leave!"
Early in the morning of the thirteenth day of game time!
At six o'clock in the morning, just after dawn, Ayin jumped out of bed.
He rushed outside to the cultivated fields, carrying a small kettle to water the plants, and at the same time urged his cousin to come back quickly and finish the work as soon as he had caught the little bait in his hand.
"We have something important to do today!"
That’s right!
The thirteenth day of spring!
Today’s “business” is to celebrate the festival!
Easter Egg Festival!
This game can even be played during holidays!
And almost every month there is a festival where the whole town gathers together for players to participate and have fun.
The incredible richness of the game has amazed the fans again and again——
'This game is over'
"I think just farming alone can keep me busy for half a year."
'627 is too busy!'
"Fuck, this game is so playable! You can farm, pick up girls, fish, mine and fight. It has both main and side quests, and you can even celebrate holidays..."
"My opinion is that you should be prepared for a long battle. This game cannot be completed in just a dozen hours."
'Is this game really complete?'
"I don't know. Anyway, the year isn't even over yet."
"Indeed, at least we haven't planted any crops yet, and we haven't had time to start raising animals yet."
"Ah... Why doesn't this game have a motion sensing cabin version? I want to experience this rural life firsthand..."
"Indeed, I don't know how happy I would be if there was a sensory cabin version..."
"……"
The players talked.
A Yin and his cousin also took care of the things they were doing.
Half past ten in the morning!
The two of them gathered together and headed towards the town again!
As soon as I entered the city, I heard two people exclaimed in unison:
“I—shit—”
But at this moment the town is bustling with activity!
Pierre's grocery stall at the door sells spring special strawberry seeds, and a row of buffets are set up on the north side of the large square in the town center.
Children were chasing and playing on the colorful carpet, and it seemed that everyone in the town had come to this holiday party!
This made Ayin and his cousin very excited.
Is this a holiday?
This is a perfect opportunity to improve the NPC's favorability!
After all, all the NPCs are here for today’s festival!
There is absolutely no awkward situation where you go to look for someone and they’re not there!
A Yin on this side grabbed Abigail and gave her gifts, while the cousin on the other side was chatting with Penny!
This made the netizens laugh:
"Finally, this is your chance, right?"
"Boss, you finally found the right place to save these quartz and amethyst."
'Abigail: I can't do it, brother. I really can't do it...'
"My cousin is really stingy. He doesn't help others with work or give gifts. He just talks nonsense."
'Dividing is not about sending, the main focus is on companionship'
"It's so funny..."
"……"
After a conversation, the two found Mayor Lewis and said they were ready!
And with Mayor Lewis' announcement——
[I declare! The climax of this year's Easter Egg Festival celebration - the annual spring egg treasure hunt! Officially begins! ]
A Yin and his cousin went their separate ways like arrows shot from a bow!
The rules of the Spring Egg Festival are actually very simple:
Search for hidden Easter eggs throughout the town within 50 seconds, and the one who finds the most will win.
Theoretically, even if two players participate, this mini-game is played independently and there can only be one winner.
but!
After all, the villagers of Stardew Valley underestimated the level of Ayin and his cousin.
As the game began, A Yin first ran to the east end of the village, and then went straight from east to west, collecting as much as he could along the way without forcing himself.
As for my cousin, he marked the Easter eggs at the west end of the village. He didn't pick them up, he just looked for them.
In this way, when A Yin comes from the east, he can sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor, picking up Easter eggs with his cousin without thinking.
Fast and accurate!!!
The audience was speechless——
'Do you two have any shame?'
"You guys are into e-sports, right?"
"You bastards! You're cheating in competition with a kid like Vincent and a girl like Abigail?"
"I really admire them. You two never do anything that touches people."
"Fuck... Ten already..."
"Thirteen..."
"Fifteen..."
"No, you two can just use Wind Spirit Moon Shadow. It's cheating anyway."
"That's too much, you guys are so cheap..."
“Hahahahahaha…”
"……"
