Cao Tian Ai: Evaluation of Li Lanyun's return to the "New Swordsman Legend"

I saw the news of this work in mid-April, there was a faint feeling that the prospects were not good, for he had not, in the shabby press release time of the summer of 2014, and then released the actual listing date of July, which means that this is billed as "swordsman" Orthodox sequel, 2014 single blockbuster works promotion period only nearly April, if the announcement (actually just engineering version of the view) released time to see the real propaganda period of less than three months, in contrast to the return of the "Gujian Tan" a year ahead of the release of the concept of video (even the name was not announced), Yiu Xian inherited the "Chinese paladin Five" Even when they were hiring, they had two press releases and their official promotional period was nine months. Compared to the "Gujian Tan" seven version of the promotional film + a version of the project, "New Swordsman Legend" in the promotional period hastily released two version of the video has not been optimized, and even before the official listing of the two geniuses hurriedly released.

And in the publicity film producers want to express the connotation let me once thought back to 10 years ago, home country, traditional (Benge faction) martial arts. It's a good selling point if you put it on the net ten years ago. However, after ten years of online games martial arts theme by a round of scouring, and the state of this proposition is intentionally or unintentionally continued excessive rendering, the original because of "swordsman love" the blood boiling the players now have how many loyal supporters, And the game is spoiled by the new players and how much willing to try this and no bright spots of the work. More worrying is the Li Lanyun answer in a press release:

May 2013, our demo has been completed, the combat model using round system. If the development according to the round, the cycle will be relatively short, game costs will be relatively low, development risk is correspondingly reduced. But such words and other stand-alone works on the market homogeneity is more serious. We consulted the issuer, and the two sides decided to change to an instant combat system. Because of this change, we added the program and the art staff, and additional 3 months of research and development time, many places to redo, almost increased the cost of development of 2 million.

As the core of RPG game, the battle mode involves too much work, in a little more than a year of time to push the Khanyi. You are welcome to say I bought the activation code how many with want to see how bad the game will be mentality.

And the tragedy has already opened before the activation of the show, July 17 open Download, release version number unexpectedly is 1.02, a game in the factory after the pressure plate is still in addition to bug! A few hours before the 18th official opening activation, 1.03 patches were released, and I could already imagine a hectic scene for the production group, with 1.04 patches released after the open activation hours. When I installed the game today, there are three patches waiting (the most laughable is the beginning of the game CG is followed by patches out).

Positive start:

Open the game the first question comes head-on and cannot be updated! Have to hit a manual patch to find 1.05 patches do not provide manual patches! I almost thought I was kneeling here. Found some time 1.04 version can also pass the check into the game!

Leaning on the couch to copy the handle into the game only to find that the game can not play with the handle! I installed the afternoon what I figure, can not take the living room TV with handle play please change back to turn system! Later I found that I was completely paranoid, do not want this game like the Act game as there is rubbing strokes and body (know you this time also do not come out), but please do not let the characters and the only difference between the stakes is the butt back to the sand down the goose-like good! The game does not need to play with the handle, the mouse to hit the line, a sense of what the blow long ago died.

The biggest problem is that there's no esc! in the accelerator. All pull out menu and exit menu to mouse point, and I am on the TV because of resolution reasons for the Exit button is outside the screen! Production team have you ever played rpg?!? How much you have to do with the ESC key!

Most of the houses inside have only one external model, the door closed at all, can't go into the house to rummage call what heroes! What the? You said the rummage was illogical? Let me show you what is illogical, in the map are visible in large, uniform style, no one to guard the big box, which is put, and what is inside this ah, looks disgusting!

What about the store? The answer is sold on the street! The big house is not allowed to enter! Is this really not an online game? Are you afraid of having too many crowded rooms for the same screen player?

Is it hard to think of a name seriously? It's hard!

Half the people in town don't talk, and half the rest. You point up to find that the businessman, but he often only sell one thing, and then the remaining NPC you point up will find:

This ecstasy of six points is what meaning, can't write lines directly to the ellipsis?!

At last

Ah ~ feeling back to the bacon, garlic, glutinous rice cakes, burning meat are the years of medicine ~

Summary：

From the beginning with strong signs of the rush, which can be explained as a tight schedule, limited staff, insufficient funds and so on a series of reasons, but as players these reasons I do not accept! I believe that the return of Li Lanyun with feelings and ideals to come, but he as a veteran of the game for so many years, the quality of the game should have a considerable insight, the release of such a rough semi-finished products, the brand of this series of games, the Chinese single game industry really good? Don't go swimming naked without the tide.
