Last week, many game companies engaged in April Fool's Day, and the program effect was stronger than one.
Among them, the double ponytail of "Forever Doom" is the best of the year.
Among the many whole games, "The Way of The Hero", which was updated on April 1st for the third school year, seemed a bit out of place.
It is also this update that has ushered in "mostly bad reviews" for "The Way of Man", which has maintained special praise for two years.
As for the origin of these bad reviews, in addition to expressing dissatisfaction with the developer Heluo Studio, a large number of comments point to the same problem.
That's the end of the third school year of "The Way of Man".
"The Way of Chivalry" was originally listed on Steam under the name of "Xia Cain", when Heluo Studio was in the midst of a fiasco in "The Legend of Heluo Group", and also fought with Zhiguan Technology in the copyright lawsuit of "Chivalrous".
Therefore, many players regard "The Hidden Pavilion" as Heluo's life-saving work, and they have generously donated money.
Although "Hidden Cabinet" was still in the early access stage at that time, the main plot was only until the first academic year, the game flow was less than 10 hours, and the next two school years in the plan were far away.
However, with the good combination of campus cultivation + martial arts, the gameplay of "Xia Yin Ge" is widely recognized by players, and it has also won the nickname of the martial arts version of "Fire Emblem Wind Flower Snow Moon".
By the time the second school year was updated, the game's worldview was greatly expanded, NPC interactions and side quests were becoming more and more numerous, and the playability was stronger than in the first school year.
It's a player who thinks the game is getting better.
At this time, Heluo Studio was tragically backstabbed by Zhiguan Technology and had to rename "The Hidden Pavilion" to "The Way of The Hero".
This makes players sympathize, and they also choose to tolerate and understand the optimization and bug problems that have not been solved for a long time after the game has been released.
But tolerance does not mean that it can be ignored all the time, everyone just has more patience to wait for the official to make the finished product.
The third school year update mentioned above has been placed so high hopes by players that the update on April 1 makes everyone look forward to pulling up.
The final attribution of love formation, the foreshadowing buried by many character plots, the long-awaited ending, and the bug optimization that has been plagued for two years, all have results, right?
But the official answer is: I did it for a year and didn't do anything.
In The Way of The Man, there are many actionable characters that players can incorporate as teammates to cultivate attributes, improve their goodwill, and advance the side story.
Before the third year of the plot update, many old players have brushed all the character's good feelings and attributes, waiting for the first time to play the perfect ending.
But the game quickly gave the old players a blow, and most players had to choose one of the two strange factions and fight against the characters of the opposing camps.
No matter how good your feelings with the characters of the opposing camp are before, there will be no change in the final plot.
And the departing character will also take away the equipment you give, and the stronger he is, the more uncomfortable the player will be.
At the same time, the game process is also full of plot killing, even if you punch and kill the miscellaneous fish in a second, the next second can also hang the player in the plot performance.
This makes the player's first two years of cultivation meaningless, what is the purpose of hard work? See if your values collapse and can't go on performing plot killing?
The game plot also highlights a pendulum, many routes are directly cut, and the player is completely reduced to a tool in the plot.
The harem ending that many people are looking forward to is gone, if it is because the camp chooses to go against the sister who is full of good feelings, the ending picture will also explain that you are "separated by two hearts" to whip the corpse.
The Weibo posted by producer Xu Changlong also made players angry.
In addition to "The Way of Heroes", they are also developing the card game "Tianwai Wulin", and there is a mysterious martial arts single player cooperated with Tencent.
I thought that Heluo Studio was due to insufficient manpower to rush to make the "Way of Heroes" update overturned, but I never expected that they were three open.
A large number of bad reviews on Steam have also pointed to the bad end of the game and the developers, and the commenters are mostly veteran players who have been playing for hundreds of hours.
Under the pressure of bad reviews, the official response will quickly fix bugs and optimize the game as soon as possible, and new plots and new endings will be arranged as soon as possible.
To be sure, the promise of Helo Studios is credible.
Many people still remember the disastrous debut of the previous work "The Legend of The Hero of Heluo", but the official insisted on updating it for three years, although there are still many problems that have not been solved, and it has greatly saved the reputation of players.
But the previous work is rotten, the new work is rotten, even if you can insist on updating every time, who can always wait with infinite patience?
Even if everyone supports domestic production, it is difficult to pre-order your new works unconditionally, right?
