Before the beginning, the editor will correct an argument, that is, don't compare the current game sales with the games of ten or twenty years ago, after all, young players are not short of money in their pockets now, and they can get thousands of tips just by watching a live broadcast, let alone buying a game of a few hundred yuan.
You must know that Xiaobian is a post-80s, the living expenses of a week when I was a student are only 180 yuan, and buying a 69 genuine game is already my limit, and I need to take the bus to the computer city to buy a game back then, and the round-trip commuting fee also requires more than ten yuan, unlike now, you can get your favorite game by sitting at home and moving your fingers, so at that time, unless you encounter a particularly favorite game, even if you are hungry, you have to buy it back, otherwise most of them spend 5 yuan on the stalls around the school to buy pirated discs to play, even 15 yuan"Open Sesame" is a waste to me, and this phenomenon should have been the norm for most players back then, so the cross-era sales comparison is meaningless.
However, the sales of "Three Kingdoms 11" were indeed very poor in that year, it is said that a total of less than 100,000 sets were sold in Japan, although there is no clear data in other regions, but the data will not be too good, after all, this kind of game can only be played in the East Asian cultural circle, and the sales in this region basically determine the final sales of this game, can you still expect the Indian market to sell hundreds of thousands of copies of the "Three Kingdoms" series? If such a magical thing really happened, Glory would not have hid such a classic IP for 6 years before releasing "Three Kingdoms 12".
However, with the popularity of "Three Kingdoms 14" in the past two years, the discussion of this game series seems to have gradually warmed up, but whenever someone says that "Three Kingdoms 14" is fun, there will always be some people who jump out and say that "Three Kingdoms 9" and "Three Kingdoms 11" are classics, and 14 is not worth mentioning compared to it.
Which is good or bad, the editor is not praised, but as an old fan of the Three Kingdoms who has played for many years, this series has not been played except for the 1st and 2nd generations, and I have spent a lot of time on it for each generation, I personally think that 14 is fun, but the classic degree of 11 is not far behind, especially after adding the mod, the gameplay is even more addictive. So what are the factors that make old players think that "Three Kingdoms 11" is a classic?
First of all, in terms of the combat system, I think the battle flag design of 11 is more interesting. Friends who often read my articles know that Le Zhaoyou is a lover of in-depth battle flag games, especially the game "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms", which I have to take out for military training every year, so "Three Kingdoms 11" with the battle flag mode is obviously more in line with my appetite.
And 314's battle, although the AI is much higher than the previous work, but the style of play is more like an enhanced version of the 9th generation, and the generals sent out are completely free to play, and the release of tactics is also random, and there is a real experience of not being affected by the king's life outside. However, this loses control of the strategy game, and if you haven't played the 9th generation before, but play directly from 11, the 14 battle mode will be difficult to accept.
The second is the training of generals, the research and development system of Three Kingdoms 11 can make many tabula rasa generals grow into heroes, increasing the playability of the game. The training of 14 generals is like playing an RPG game, for those generals with extremely poor attributes and abilities, even if all the resources and props are used on them, it is difficult to make these people play miraculous effects.
Finally, there is the internal affairs aspect, although the internal affairs of these two works are garbage, but the conscription system and taxation system of 314 are obviously more rubbish. Although the official intends to make the internal affairs of the game closer to the truth,But military food can't be planted to get a bumper harvest and can only be obtained by commercial trading.,It's not exactly nonsense! Besides, the fried food of the Three Kingdoms series has been played by players.,Such a big bug doesn't want to improve but blindly covers up.,It's really hard not to miss the 11 internal affairs measures in comparison.。
As for the MOD that everyone knows, I won't compare it here, maybe with more and more boutique mods of 314 in the future, the two are qualified to compare.
To sum up, Xiaobian personally thinks that 311 is more fun, which can also be seen from the game time, 314 I haven't played for more than half a year, but 311 will occasionally use Lu Bu or Gongsun Zan to break a game, I'm afraid 314 will eat ash for a longer time in the future. Finally, I hope that the future "Three Kingdoms 15" can return to the battle flag gameplay!
