Congratulations to Onigu Yaku to the throne of the game with the most bad reviews and the lowest recent game praise rate in Steam's domestic games.
Previously, in Steam's domestic games, the first bad review rate was "Three Kingdoms Killing", and "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" was hailed as the light of domestic production in 2021, but until today, the number of bad reviews of "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" has reached 51681, far exceeding the 12398 of "Three Kingdoms Killing", and "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" has suddenly become the "shame of national travel" that everyone shouts.
About the recent melon of "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds", I believe that netizens should know, at least the readers who click in should know, perhaps there is not too clear, here is a simple summary, that is, "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" to engage in word games to deceive players.
Last year, the update plan of "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" said to launch a creative workshop, everyone thought it was Steam's creative workshop, and as a result, this year Zhang San directly made a third-party platform that needed to be downloaded and registered, named "Creative Workshop", not only the player downloading and installing mods is very troublesome, uploading mods also needs to pass the official strict review, the platform also has some seemingly unreasonable overlord clauses, resulting in the interests of players and mod authors being infringed at the same time.
Players at first are still relatively rational feedback to the official, the result of the official dead duck mouth hard, and finally the player is angry, triggering this bad review wave, the specific content can see the article previously posted by Yun Youji, here will not be repeated.
From the 19th player began to brush the game with bad reviews on a large scale, until today, nearly a week has passed, and the overall evaluation of "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" has dropped from special praise to "mixed reviews", and recent reviews have fallen to only 4% of the praise rate of "bad reviews", and the player's action has even exceeded yunyou Ji's prediction on April 20.
Some netizens may say that "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" does not have a 4% praise. In fact, the game's recent real praise rate should be less than 1%. A brief glance at the praise of "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" these days, Yun Youji found that the moisture inside is very large.
First of all, the "Three Kingdoms Killing" players and "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" that are popular on the Internet brush praise each other, simply put, players on both sides in order to ensure that their game is Steam bad evaluation first, deliberately give each other's game praise, in fact, the proportion of this part of the praise is not high, twenty or thirty praise will be out of one or two.
As for the reason, it is because "Three Kingdoms Killing" is a free game, and "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" is a buyout game, and normal Three Kingdoms Killing players will not spend more than sixty dollars in order to hit the praise, so the praise in the comment area of "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" is not much, but the proportion of "malicious" brush praise in the "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" players in the "Three Kingdoms Killing" comment area is quite high, and it is estimated that 80% of the recent reviews are Ghost Valley players.
What about the rest of the positive reviews? Of the remaining reviews, nearly half are worried that brushing too many bad reviews will trigger Steam's control mechanism, resulting in bad reviews being deleted, so these players choose to leave praise to say bad things, and change to bad reviews after a while; and the other half of the players choose to use praise to yin and yang weird production team, after all, now compared to bad reviews, praise is a minority, more able to attract the attention of players.
Therefore, the real message to support the production team, in fact, there are few comments, and on this, there are still parts of it that thank the production team for the happiness brought before, and the behavior and attitude of the current production team are still negative. To say that the Ghost Valley Studio is already shouted and beaten by everyone, it is indeed not wronged against them.
Not a momentary moment, but a long-standing grudge
As a player who started on the day of the game's release, Yun Youji still spent more time on this game, because Yun Youji likes this kind of game that looks simple, but the character development is more abundant.
Therefore, for a long time, Yun Youji paid close attention to the game updates of "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds", and almost every update had to be online to see.
However, the depth of love, the cut of hate, I believe that there are not a few players similar to Yun Youji's "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds", so Yun Youji can also understand their behavior of brushing bad reviews for the game.
At the beginning, the game production team also vowed that it would be updated every Monday, and Yun Youji remembered that this incident had become the reason for some players to brush bad reviews for "Taiwu Scroll".
Later, the official said that the power is not caught, to be updated on two weeks, the player still expressed understanding at this time, after all, the game development is not to do self-media, can be stable output only.
In the back, the stable two-week update can not be done, players can also understand, after all, after some small repairs, the remaining big content is certainly not able to be done overnight.
As a result, in the case that the generation is still in the EA stage, the Ghost Valley Studio began to plan and develop the second generation, and the player found that the steps of the production team seemed to be a little too big, in fact, at this time, many players were dissatisfied with the Ghost Valley Studio, but there was no seizure.
Think about it, Blizzard's "Overwatch" as a highly completed game work, will be because of the suspension of updates, the developers to make "Overwatch 2" and the dissatisfaction of a generation of players, and "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" is still in the EA stage of the game work has not been scolded for this? Isn't it because the developer is from China that players have a little more preference?
However, those who are favored have no fear, more than vampires more capitalist recruitment requirements, each small update deliberately modifies the serial number to affect the operation of folk mods, these we players are not unaware. What producer Zhang San did after that, if it were not for the fact that he was a Chinese game producer, if it were not for the fact that he was the producer of "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds", he would have been sprayed to death.
And this time in the "creative workshop" to play a little clever, in fact, just lit the fuse.
The main content of the game itself is brush brush, all seemingly fresh and interesting design, in the end can not escape a "brush" word, brush map brush for more than a year of players, look forward to the folk mod can increase the fun of the game.
As a result, Zhang San's move directly destroyed the hope of many players to stick to the game, and before they could use "out of the mod" to paralyze themselves, now, the bubble burst, the previous resentment, naturally broke out.
As for what "worry about the studio to borrow mods to make profits later" and "afraid that their private information will be stolen by others", these words are just excuses, in essence, it is because the player thinks that he has been played, and does not like the feeling of being led by the developer in the mod community that emphasizes free creativity, and the deeper reason is that he has been resentful for a long time.
However, there is actually another indirect reason that may lead to the expansion of this event, that is, the now relatively complete private mod community.
The more easy to use mod plugins or frameworks, such as patching up the sky, Villain is also very convenient to use, and based on these contents, the mods on the forum about "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" have been very rich, even if they are not mod players, many people have seen the possibilities that mods can bring to the game.
But the problem is that these high-download and rich mods on the forum are basically with a bit of astringent elements, which means that the existing more mature game mod community is not compatible with the community expected by Ghost Valley Studio.
So, since the existing mod community in the private sector is different from the official community, isn't it necessary? It's too easy to think of it that way.
In last night's update, the official launch of the 5021 update patch, this update, resulting in the game file LocalText.json can not be exported and called normally, the result further affected the use of Villain, along with all Villain-based mods have been affected.
With only a small update patch, the official let countless players' mods fail, so that the hard work of the mod authors day and night was in vain, and the players suddenly became angry, directly breaking the defense in the comment area of the Ghost Valley Studio to greet the family of the producer Zhang San.
Although soon, the official 5022 update patch was launched, fixing this problem and allowing Villain to continue to be used, but everyone understands that as long as they want, the developer is fully capable of only making the mod of their platform effective, and this only requires a few megabytes or a dozen megabytes of patches.
Not only that, the official also fixed the method of players directly obtaining the mod download link of Fanbook through F12 in the latest patch.
Obviously, developers are definitely going to push their Fanbook platform, so how can players rest assured that after the emergence of the official mod platform, the developer will not deliberately suppress the private mod? Now some players are so active in rushing developers, but also to ensure the creative freedom of future mods.
end
It's six o'clock in the afternoon, and it's not yet the peak of bad reviews in the evening, take a look, and the number of bad reviews of the game today has increased by 3700.
At the beginning of Yun Youji said, "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" is already the game with the largest number of bad reviews in the Steam National Tour, looking at the number of bad reviews in this game, even the inflection point has not appeared, considering that the previous predictions are correct, this time boldly predict a wave.
If, in the short term, the official cannot give a more definitive answer and cannot launch a real Steam Workshop, then the bad reviews are not just "recent reviews".
