Chapter 486: Sukabulie! Hostages, don't be afraid! I'm here to save you!
Something happened.
Something big happened!
Kotick stretched out his finger with some trembling and swiped the screen.
At this moment, the number of replies to this post, which is the number one on the SNG forum hot list, has reached a terrifying 40,000 -
'Good people live a peaceful life'
'Poor buddy's victory!'
"I have to say, L4D is truly a god..."
'Wuhu! I just bought it at a bargain price of $0.5 a while ago! You will make a profit if you buy it!'
'[Attached pictures of purchase record] First, I'll post the pictures. I've tested it myself. The overall gaming experience is almost the same. The shooting feel of Left 4 Dead is even better (after all, it's the second-generation FPS ancestor). The industrial quality is slightly worse. It is identified as: a poor man's happy module (this poor man has already refunded the money. I'll wait for discounts for party games)'
'The shooting in Left 4 Dead feels better. I can't hold it back.'
'Four years later, no one has surpassed GW in terms of feel'
'It's fine if the industrial quality is lower, what do you want for a bicycle for $0.50'
'It's less than 10% off! How dare you say L4D is bad?! '
"My evaluation is that the best of the best!"
'It's not that I can't afford it at $80, but it's more cost-effective at $0.50'
'Fun, playful'
"I bought Gollum before, now I'm returning the Alien, we're even."
'Hahahahahahahahahaha, this one is an even more important enemy...'
'I just sorted out a few MODs that have received good reviews recently. They can be used . I have personally tested that there is no conflict...'

Creative Workshop!
The road to survival!
Golden wind!
Look at the replies and comments one by one!
Kotick's mind went blank!
Once upon a time, he also thought that the Golden Wind would attack them!
However, I never expected that the attack of Golden Wind would be so abstract!
A game that was released four years ago!
He actually traveled through time and space, and today, four years later, gave them a fatal blow!
Oh no! No no no!
Even at this moment, they couldn't be sure whether this "job" was done by Golden Wind!
After all, the production team that released the game MOD has a personal profile showing that their location is Poland!
I'll just let Golden Wind backstab me!
Now even the amateur players are backstabbing me?
Look at the substitute posts, and then look at the halved sales data!
The dream of selling 5 million units in a single week that was envisioned ten minutes ago was shattered in an instant!
and!
You should know that this post was published at around 10 pm US time, and the sales data of "Endless Tide" is summarized at 7 am every day.
In other words, from the time the post was published to the time it became popular, the time it took for the "Left 4 Dead" MOD to affect their sales was less than half a day at most!
Just half a day was enough to cut the sales of "Endless Dark Tide" in half!
God knows if this post continues to spread, the sales of this blockbuster game, which they have high hopes for and has a total investment of nearly one billion US dollars, will drop to a terrible level!
what to do?
At this moment, the expression on Kodick's face had fallen to the extreme, as if he had lost his parents!
Directly demand that Golden Wind be removed from the shelves?
Don't even think about it. Golden Wind is eager to see this result. It is even possible that this is something Golden Wind has done through a backdoor listing. They will never take it off the shelves.
International lawsuit against the MOD production team?
There is no reason. First, they did not make a profit from this, and second, they did not completely copy "Unending Dark Tides".
Cross-border litigation is difficult to win, not to mention that even if you win the case in the end and Golden Wind removes the MOD, it will take an unknown amount of time.
A killer move! No solution!
Perhaps now, their only option is to urgently adjust their own strategy.
At the same time, we are communicating with large forums such as SNG, asking them to reduce the impact of such posts as much as possible.
While preparing for more focused publicity and promotion, the MOD will be covered up through public relations means.
Moreover, you have to find a reason and an opportunity to adjust the price.
As long as they operate properly, the original price can hold out for about a month, and they adjust the price at the core of the problem, I believe things will turn around!
Think of this!
Codick couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly!
Good, good Golden Wind, a lingering Golden Wind!
Wait till I get through this period, and then you'll see how I...
However!
Before he could even open his mouth, emergency arrangements were made!
Ding Dong!
Suddenly, a push message popped up on the tablet computer.
【Officially launched! Golden Wind's latest multiplayer game "Rainbow Six: Siege" is now on sale! 】
…
there is no time!
Don't give a chance!
Golden Wind's style of doing things is never to drag things out!
Since I have decided to fight, I will beat you till there is not a blade left!
As the saying goes, wildfires cannot be extinguished; they will spring up again with the spring breeze!
Giving a clear enemy a chance is a disrespect for your own life!
In this regard, the two heads of the family, Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao, have surprisingly consistent ideas!
From Xunteng in China at the beginning to Konami when he later went abroad.
If Kodike carefully studies the various attacks launched by Golden Wind, it is not difficult to see that the Golden Wind's one-hit kill rate has always been maintained at 100%.
The opponents they have dealt with either saw their market capitalization and stock prices plummet to the bottom, or their projects and works failed on the spot.
Golden Wind will not engage in a tug-of-war, nor will it give its opponents any chance to breathe.
And now, the time of relaxation that Kodick longed for was also what the golden wind was bound to take away.
Delay will lead to changes.
Now, the sales of "Endless Dark Tides" have been halved!
The moment for the hero of Golden Wind to appear has officially arrived!
"Rainbow Six: Siege"!
Equipped with the third-generation upgraded version of the Golden Wind Engine, the " next-generation new CQB-FPS game" with self-developed physical destruction and AI intelligence, as well as Phoenix graphics rendering and Aurora Games panoramic sound effects top technology, is gloriously released!
and!
Although the Golden Engine has been upgraded again this time, it has integrated Aurora Games' exclusive sound technology!
But the quantity is increased without increasing the price!
The price of $60 per copy remains the same as GW's flagship work since "Overwatch"!
"...or else it has to be the Golden Wind!"
In the live broadcast room, the big brother A+ who completed the preloading at the speed of light praised it highly:
"Chinese people don't cheat Chinese people. We increase the quantity without raising the price. That's awesome!"
At this moment, the barrage was also lively——
"Big Brother is so punctual today, the show starts at 8 o'clock on time"
"It's not that Big Brother is on time, it's that Golden Wind released the game at exactly 8 o'clock."
“Hahahahahahahahaha indeed…”
"As soon as Golden Wind released the announcement, Big Brother came online."
'Lightspeed Launch'
"It was released so suddenly. I thought it would be released next month at the latest."
'It just so happens that I haven't had anything to play recently, so I bought it without thinking'
'Indoor CQB is so interesting, the battlefield-style attack on the building is awesome'
"Brother, isn't this killing everyone?"
"……"
"That's a must! Start killing!"
As the audience discussed excitedly!
Here, the eldest brother also entered the game.
Although the main focus of the game is human combat, it is the first time for players to come into contact with CQB-FPS games.
In order to enable players to better get started with the game and to create a better multiplayer environment, novice tutorials are still very necessary.
"Real scene... training, annihilate all enemies,"
As the white characters in the darkness in front of him gradually dimmed, the eldest brother slowly opened his eyes and found himself standing at the door of a two-story building:
"Oh - it's a novice training level, just kill them mindlessly."
After all, as an old FPS player, he is no stranger to this kind of teaching.
Looking around, it's all desolate.
With the ultimate picture presentation, whether it is a distant view or a close-up, it is all so real that it can be mistaken for the real thing.
Not only are the scenery modeling, lighting, etc. extremely exquisite, but there are no flaws.
Even the dead branches swaying in the breeze and the slightly raised dust are exactly the same as in reality, and every detail is visible.
Snap!
Click, click!
The sound of the metal mechanism wrapped in engineering plastic rang out, and the eldest brother pulled the L85A2 assault rifle in his hand, feeling the addictive feedback and sound.
Comfortable--
He aimed his rifle, leaned his body left and right, crouched and lay down, and everything seemed so familiar and smooth as the combat uniform on his body rustled.
Snap!
Loading the assault rifle in his hand, the eldest brother launched the attack without saying a word!
Perhaps the training setting of the first level is relatively simple, after all, there are only three small houses and four or five enemies.
Or maybe it's because the eldest brother himself is extremely powerful and is a police officer with great skills.
Three times five divided by two!
In just two minutes, he finished the first round of the trial training neatly and quickly. Amid the exclamations of the fans, he came to the second round of the trial training.
【Hostage Rescue——Chicago Mansion】
However!
Just as they were about to start the game, suddenly, the eldest brother had a flash of inspiration:
"Wait a minute? What are my skills?"
You must know!
In the promotional video, operators from different countries conquered many players with their unique skills.
This is also what makes this game most unique.
I was so eager to experience the game, and since the level was simple, I passed the first level in a daze.
But now, with the emergence of a game mode that has never been seen before and the presentation of a more complex mansion villa map, the eldest brother suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have discovered that he had any special skills.
As an attacker, he only had two grenades and three flash grenades, in addition to the conventional main and secondary weapons, and no special advanced equipment at all.
"Hiss - let me see -"
After stopping, the eldest brother began to carefully observe his UI interface.
moment.
"Ohhhh! Here, here! Switch operators using the watch! Hey, if I had known this I would have tried it on the first level!"
Soon, following the prompts, the eldest brother found a way to switch operators.
That’s right!
Although in the previous life, according to Ayurveda's setting, players cannot change operators at will in the real scene that serves as a novice guide.
However, in this life, in order to allow players to experience the operators' skills more quickly and become familiar with the game settings, Gu Sheng added the operators' experience to the real-life training in advance.
During the preparation phase, players can open the operator selection interface through the tactical watch.
There are a total of twenty initial basic operators, ten for offense and ten for defense, and two operators from Hong Kong, China, "YING" and "LESION", who require a pass or purchase to unlock.
As for the original character just used by the eldest brother, it is a common character for both the offensive and defensive sides - a new operator - also called "Doraemon".
Although he has no special skills, it is not difficult to find out if you observe carefully - compared to other operators, Doraemon is the only character in the entire game who can carry two tactical props, which can be regarded as a passive skill.
but!
"Grenades and flashbangs are boring, they've all been used up in other games,"
The eldest brother obviously had no interest in Doraemon, and directly chose an operator who looked mighty and handsome, wearing a military green tactical helmet and goggles, heavily armed, and holding a tough and violent AK-12:
"How cool is this guy! And he's a Russian! Let me see his skills!"
"Um... shotgun?"
"I don't know what it means, but it sounds pretty cool... Let's try it later!"
Talking about it!
The eldest brother also selected an operator and held the AK-12 in his hand!
"Sokabulie! Hostage, don't be afraid! I'm here to save you--!!!"
