The popularity of "Yuan Dream Star" after the public beta can be said to be quite high, thanks to Tencent's professional marketing methods, before the open beta, Tencent invited many stars, well-known anchors, head talents, etc. to build momentum for "Yuan Dream Star", and even invited many stars to broadcast Yuan Dream live. In addition, it also places open screen ads on major platforms, and basically every software can see Yuanmeng's ads before it is opened.
Not only that, Tencent also makes reasonable use of its own resources, such as advertising in its own positions such as QQ, Moments, QQ Music, etc., and even sets up automatic downloads. Many netizens were inexplicably downloaded "Yuanmeng Star", which also led to Yuanmeng's poor popularity, which also successfully aroused the backlash of some netizens, and the backhand is a bad review.
Although the advertisements of "Yuanmeng Star" are flying all over the sky, the game experience is hardly satisfactory, and even many players say that "Yuanmeng Star" is false propaganda, and players are deceived miserably. Some players said that the skin of Little Devil and Yao advertised by "Yuan Dream Star" was given, but it turned out that it could only be sent after downloading it on QQ, and some players had nothing after making an appointment to download it on WeChat, which is a difference?
There are also players who said that the download of Yuanmeng propaganda can get red envelopes and skins, and the first charge is free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis, and players who download it later can't enjoy it at all, who would have thought that playing games would also be on a first-come, first-served basis, no wonder players wouldn't buy it.
In addition to excessive marketing and false publicity, the biggest problem with "Metadream Star" is plagiarism, which was even more exposed after the open beta. After the open beta, many players experienced the game and found that this game can be called a stitching monster, such as the brawl mode copied from "Beast Party", and even the original walking movements of the characters were borrowed from "Beast Party".
There are also players who pointed out that the Forza Racing gameplay in "Yuanmeng Star" copied "Riders Republic", and Yuanmeng's Forza Racing added bicycles and paragliders, which is simply a direct copy and paste of "Riders Republic", and this kind of operation of copying the gameplay is also fun for players.
Some players also pointed out that the werewolf gameplay in "Yuan Dream Star" plagiarized "Goose and Duck Kill", and the weapon master gameplay plagiarized "Sausage Party", and even ridiculed that Yuan Meng was "take-it-ism".
What's even more outrageous is that some of the designs in "Yuanmeng Star" actually copied "Sprague 3", for example, the color of the star design in a certain map level of Yuanmeng is exactly the same as the maple leaf gun in "Sprague 3", but the eye pattern in the middle has been changed.
Although "Dream Star" seems to be very popular after the open beta, it actually relies on various advertising and fan circle culture to maintain its popularity, and there are actually very few players who can be attracted by the game content. In addition, the gameplay has no original content and relies on reference, resulting in more bad reviews than positive reviews, is this the so-called "black and red are also red"?
At present, real players' evaluation of "Yuan Dream Star" is not very good, and it is difficult for Yuan Dream with plagiarism labels to have a place in the field of party games, if Tencent still engages in exaggerated marketing and false publicity, it will be difficult to retain players, and maybe in the end, "Yuan Dream Star" will also be reduced to a money-making fast food game, and the popularity will disappear.
