These days, on the game platform Steam, Eldon's Ring of Law firmly dominates the list.
At one point, more than 760,000 people played online at the same time, which was a stunning achievement for single-player games.
Because of the meaning of the English word, Eldon's Ring of Law is jokingly called "Old Man's Ring" by game fans.
Eh~ instantly vivid.
At the time of the official release of the game today, the word "old man ring" directly appeared on the hot search, and the number of readers exceeded 100 million.
For this data, the machine brother is a little surprised.
Turn around and open station B, in the live broadcast page, the big and small anchors are almost broadcasting the old man ring.
Why does this game attract so much attention?
The machine brother thinks that it should be from the first two years when there are relevant revelations, and the players' expectations have been full.
First of all, the producer of "Eldon's Ring of Law" is Hidetaka Miyazaki, the designer of the "Soul Series" game. His games are known for being well-made and abusive.
When "Only Wolf" was released, there were cloud players who had not played the game, and rushed to comment that the work was general, and finally came the sentence "Miyazaki Hidego fell to the altar".
As a result, "Only Wolf" was greatly acclaimed, and the words of cloud players became a terrier.
With the producer's ace assurance, plus the release of the news that it was with "Game of Thrones" author Martin to co-create the old man ring.
How classic "Game of Thrones" is, don't need to be said by the machine brother. The worldview is grand and the plot is rich.
Hidetaka Miyazaki and Mr. Martin are strongly united, and it is no wonder that players have full expectations for "The Ring of Eldon".
Cough, there is another reason why the expectation value is full, probably because of the peer foil.
There have been a number of pre-sale games before, which are better said than sung, but after actually getting started, they can't satisfy players. Take a chestnut, Cyberpunk 2077.
After everyone was disappointed a few times, they regarded the old man as the hope of the whole village and paid more attention to the game.
On the day the release time of the Old Man Ring was announced last year, the enthusiasm of players reached a small peak.
Originally a game anime forum, S1, which usually talks about everything, was full of posts related to the old man ring.
S1 official Blog can't help but sigh that the forum is finally the largest number of posts discussing the game, and he "returned to the game forum".
For more than half a year, the players who were looking forward to the old ring basically had this expression:
It's enough to like the moment you use the Uehara headphones.
Players who are tormented by anticipation even coin a word of their own, called "soul addiction".
Because Hidetaka Miyazaki is famous for the Soul series of games, everyone assumes that the old man ring is also a soul-like game.
So I especially want to play this kind of game, all of which are called "soul addiction".
When I heard this word, I was particularly itchy.
Especially in the days leading up to the release, there are several game fans in the circle of friends who are counting down.
Of course, not everyone believes in Hidetaka Miyazaki so much, and there are always people who worry that everyone's expectations for "The Ring of Eldon" are too great, in case they don't think so well?
Until the first two days of the game's ratings, dozens of game media have given it a super high score.
The players, especially those who have already pre-ordered, have finally let go of their hearts a little.
There is a high praise post on the foreign forum that the landlord lists the ratings of each house, and then happily announces that "it seems that the pre-order can get off the car safely".
Players are looking forward to ah, hoping ah ~ today can finally play the old man ring by hand.
Then came the most popular link of the machine brother: pinching the face.
There are many handsome men and women in Tieba, and the gods of the per capita face parameter are great.
Oops, it's a heart-pounding feeling.
It is rare to see a face that is completely yellow haired but does not have a non-mainstream feeling, a bit like a small shellfish?
Tough guy macho style is also available, all satisfied.
One of the most talented netizens pinched out the image of the God of War, and the rhythm of the game crossed.
However, handsome men and beautiful women cannot satisfy the perverted sand sculpture netizens.
In the blink of an eye, the painting style changed, some fantastic ideas appeared, and the brother almost threw the mouse out.
Well, happy times always pass very quickly, and after a pleasant pinch of the face, it is time for the real man session.
The machine brother said above, Miyazaki Hidetaka's game is difficult, it is not difficult to have no inner taste.
At the beginning of the game, after everyone is abused and crying, the soul of the Duan Zi Hand burns fiercely.
Foreign netizens first used the English alphabetical order to cry, they joked that the English words of the old man ring were arranged and combined, which was exactly the word of "Black Soul".
Meaning, the difficulty of this game is even worse than that of the previous games.
Foreign netizens are still too subtle, unlike the players next to the machine brother, all of them directly break the defense.
The "Tree Guard" is the one in the picture, the first big boss.
Has been abused has been cool, netizens hit to the realm sublimation, see the tree wants to vomit to the extent.
The brother was worried that when they went out and saw the tree on the sidewalk, they would cry silently.
Difficult to fight is the essence, even if abused, players still play the spirit of playing.
So you can see on the game label of Eldon's Circle of Law that "difficulty" and "relaxation" can coexist.
This is probably the humor of veteran players.
Well, here comes the last question of this article.
Isn't today a weekday, how can there be hundreds of thousands of players online and still make so many paragraphs?
It turns out that some companies directly because of the old man ring release, to all employees on holiday, do you dare to believe?
Of course, it is mostly game companies. For example, the developer of "Creation Ideal Township" has made an exclusive holiday for the old man ring, which has been on holiday from today until next Monday.
It is said that there are also game companies in China that arrange holidays.
Spicy, what if the company does not have a holiday?
A few days ago, some people joked that they had to take time off on Friday to play the old man ring. Who knows if anyone really does this:
Well??
The machine brother looked at the two empty workstations next to him and fell into thought.
