The media ratings of the action game masterpiece "Eldon's Ring", which is jokingly called "Old Man Ring" by players today, have officially lifted the ban. For this highly anticipated game, many players only thought that it would have a high score, but did not expect that this game actually got the praise of almost all game media, many game media have given high scores, IGN today gave a full score of 10 points, calling it "the work of the master".
For gamers, for the majority of gamers, in addition to Miyazaki Hidetaka once again walking (pushing) to the altar in the expectations of players, there is also a sense of "long drought and ganlin". After all, since the beginning of 2020, the cakes drawn by the european and American game manufacturers have been made by themselves one after another to the point of being smashed, before there is the semi-finished meal of the Polish "stupid donkey", and then there is half a fried cold rice provided by "Battlefield 2042", compared to the deformed remake game provided by R Star and the new COD work of all-round crotch pulling, it seems that it is not a disgusting thing.
With the soaring reputation of "Eldon's Ring of Law", there are also many players' expectations for this year's game lineup, and even many players have tacitly acknowledged that 2022 is the year of the rise of major action game manufacturers, "Old Ring" is the signal of the rise of action games, and this year's tone will also become "hardcore action game year". But Xiaobian feels that if you think like this, you have to check whether the HO content in the brain tissue is too excessive, after all, no matter how fun the "old man ring" is, it is still difficult to drive the market of hardcore action games.
Like many games in the past two years, "Old Man Ring", as a stand-alone game, can become popular on social networks, not because many players are interested in side quests, skill books, maps or plots. More is attracted by the difficulty attributes of the game itself. In many related discussions about the "old man ring", watching the anchor suffer and die continuously is also one of the sources of happiness for many players. And this phenomenon has been going on for many years, before the "Old Man Ring", the "Big Devil" who played the role of beating the anchor and pleasing the player was called "Dark Souls" (which may also be a blood curse).
Although the "old man ring" is destined to have more cloud players than real players, this hardcore action game without a table cannot live in the top stream and continue to "occupy the seat". Because in the past year, the domestic martial arts style action game "Forever Doom" has done this, which is also a small miracle.
As a chicken-eating game that focuses on cold weapon battles and moves-based competitions, "Forever Doom" comes with a hardcore gameplay that attracts traffic. When the game was first released, countless gods in the host area were beaten by hardcore gameplay, which also made many water friends rejoice, and the live broadcast effect was very good.
However, this game can be popular until 2022, and it is certainly not as simple as live broadcasting. The production team's solid action design skills, as well as long-term investment in character updates and weapon updates, are constantly sublimating the combat experience in the game. Old players often play new, new players can quickly learn fresh and interesting mechanics, quickly get started, even many female players who are not very good at keyboard and mouse operations are impressed by the charm of this game, even if the fight is not good, you can find your own position through collaborative combat.
In addition, the unique art style and aesthetic fashion style of "Forever Doom" have also become an important means for it to attract players. This is also a unique advantage of many online games, especially buyout games - in addition to solid gameplay mechanics, you can also constantly harvest fresh and beautiful equipment.
However, as of now, it seems that only the hardcore action game "Forever Doom" has maintained a high degree of popularity through the advantages of online games and their own efforts. I don't know if the "old man ring" will refer to a similar way in the future to extend its popularity? What do you guys think?
