“If there was only one ga you could play in your lifeti, I hope you’d choose this one!”
Has it reached the level of being the one and only ga of a lifeti?
Lincoln feels a bit embarrassed while reading this, but looking at the comnts from netizens, most of them seem to agree.
“A week ago, I thought ‘Ga Base’ was also bribed, giving high praise to ‘Traveler of the Wind’ when no one else was. I apologize!”
“Shouldn’t an apology involve showing your belly? Isn’t this common knowledge?”
“Shouldn’t an apology involve showing your chest? Isn’t this common knowledge?”
“Are you guys too desperate? At least check the gender of the ID on the profile page! It’s a guy!”
“Isn’t that better?”
“I often feel out of place with you guys because I’m not twisted enough…
“Don’t derail the topic! Repeat after : What is professionalism? What is attitude? What is dia conscience?”
Excluding comnts from netizens who are just fooling around, the remaining comnts are almost unanimously praising ‘Ga Base’.
This is because a week ago, almost the entire internet was filled with unfavorable opinions.
In this world of ga dia, there has always been a “pre-scoring” chanism. Before a ga’s official release, the ga’s developnt team, whether it’s a sequel, the ti invested, disclosed information, trailers, and demo versions, etc., will be taken into account for a preliminary score.
Nominally, it is to provide a reference for players’ purchase in advance and prevent them from being deceived by developers and buying gas that are good on the outside but rotten on the inside.
However, Lincoln has always suspected that this pre-scoring chanism was influenced by so big corporations. It’s just that as more and more ga dia joined, the big corporations could no longer monopolize the sky.
But as long as you’re willing to pay, you can still influence many scoring dia to a certain extent.
This ti, Lincoln’s ‘Traveler of the Wind’ received an average pre-score of less than 5 points, with a large number of dia giving it 2 or 3 points.
Moreover, due to the ambivalent attitude of online players, these dia gave even lower scores without any scruples.
However, amidst this storm of low scores, ‘Ga Base’ stood out by giving it a “10 points” rating, and their article also unreservedly praised the ga.
They even received complaints from many netizens and sarcastic comnts from other dia, but this never changed their attitude.
Now, with the overnight change of ratings on the internet, it is even more evident that ‘Ga Base’ displayed a comndable persistence in the face of a
massive wave of doubts and pressure from public opinion.
Receiving praise and applause like mountains and seas now is considered a return for their persistence.
“But…” Lincoln’s doubts lie in, “It’s only the second day since the ga’s release. Are you guys already so excited from playing it?”
“Mavis knows what’s going on!”
For any question Lincoln has about the Internet, Mavis always seems to have the answer.
“Super Tomato, a top anchor on P Video Station, also bought the ga The console was delivered to Magic City in the middle of the night yestk and he rushed to the delivery station to pick up the package while live streaming. And after taking it ho, he started live streaming the gam didn’t rest at all except for a few short breaks for eating and drinking.”
P Video Station, also known as Bilibili or Little Video Station, is a video
Although it is best known for video uploads, their live streaming platform has also gained popularity, with the top anchors having huge influence.
“Huh? Is the live streaming industry really that competitive? How far has he played?” Lincoln is curious.
He thought that “not ending the stream until finishing the ga” was sothing small anchors did for attention, or sothing like what “Yi” from last night did out of necessity due to his unique style.
He didn’t expect top anchors to do so too?
“Mavis also thinks it’s amazing!” Mavis nodded in agreent with Lincoln’s words, “He’s already passed it, and hasn’t gone offline yet. He’s already working on collecting all the runes in his second playthrough.” “Were there many people staying up late to watch last night?”
“Very-many-!” Mavis elongated her voice to emphasize her affirmation, “The live broadcast room’s heat set a record, with the real number of viewers possibly reaching a million.”
“So, there were millions of people staying up all night to watch his live stream of the ga’s completion!? Don’t these people sleep?!”
“Mavis doesn’t know. But Mavis knows that this anchor directly scored a perfect score on the ‘RANK-Popular Ga Rating’ list for ‘Traveler of the Wind’. His audience and fans rushed to this website to vote, and the score has already been pushed up to 9.8 points, which is an unprecedented high score since the establishnt of the website!”
“How does this website calculate its scores?” Lincoln was curious about this.
“Real-na user ratings, with a longer account activity ti, carry more weight when rating. In addition, users who have played the ga, after providing proof, will have a significantly higher weight bonus for their ratings.”
“What was the score before?”
“Only 3-5, but the number of ratings was less than one percent of what it is now.” Mavis whispered the answer to him.
“Wow, a jump of 6.3 points all at once? Is this the legendary opinion leader?”
“Basically, all anchors who have played the ga have called on their fans and audiences to give high scores!” Mavis said proudly. “It’s all thanks to Mavis’ help!”
“Hehe!” Mavis giggled happily upon hearing the praise.
Unlike Lincoln and Mavis’s leisurely happiness,
Richard felt like he was about to explode, sitting in the eting room with a icy cold expression.
“Can soone explain to , why, after spending over a million in the past week on hiring Water Armies and stuffing money into the dia, everything was wasted in just one day? Was this money ant to be thrown into the water for a bubble show?”
“A bubble show would at least make a sound!”
Henry, who finally managed to secure the main planning position for “Blaze 3”, was also furious. But at the sa ti, he was sowhat panicked.
He started to worry that this last opportunity would be ssed up as well.
If that happens, let alone adding a feather to his cap, he might even have to share the bla, especially since he is the Chief Planner now. It was his suggestion for “Blaze 3” to take advantage of the publicity from “Traveler of the Wind”, which led to the current situation.
Now, with the reputation of “Traveler of the Wind” taking a drastic turn for the better, being praised as heaven on earth, the pressure suddenly shifted to “Blaze 3″?
When “Blaze 3” is released, if the score isn’t as high as “Traveler of the Wind”, players will almost certainly lash out at the ga.
But how can they win? How can they surpass a 9.8 score?’
Can humans achieve that score?
If Lincoln were to make another ga, would he be able to reach that score again?
If Lincoln were present, he would definitely tell him: I can’t do it either.
“Assassins’ Alliance” was not made in pursuit of high scores in the first place.
However, since the situation was already like this, despite all the grievances and frustrations in Henry’s heart, he couldn’t voice them. He could only join the others, quietly listening to the boss’ rage.
“Speed up the progress of ‘Blaze 3’!” David said finally, “We can’t let the reputation of ‘Traveler of the Wind’ continue to fernt. Try to launch it before Cloud Dream’s second batch of consoles go on sale. We must shift players’ attention as soon as possible! Make them take their attention away from the new consoles!”
“Everyone! Buck up! For each new console Cloud Dream sells now, we might sell one less ‘Flying Dragon’ in the future! The console’s ownership represents our strong foundation!”
“And now, our foundation is shaking!”
