Because of its grotesque plot and unique narrative style, "Memories of Edith Finch" has been praised by players who like "story", and some even call this game "a masterpiece"!
Especially the part where Lewis cuts the fish, so that they, like Lewis, have some confusion between the fantasy and reality in the process of the game.
The transformation of Lewis' fantasy from plane to 3D also allowed them to experience the development process of game screen.
But some people like it very much, and some people don't like it very much. The rhythm of "Memories of Edith Finch" is relatively slow. Because of the pregnancy, Edith is "walking" the whole time, and there is no way to walk fast.
Some impatient players can't bear it at all. Many of them close the game after playing for a while, and some even refund the game when the playing time is less than two hours.
The anchors play this game live, although the program effect is not bad, it also plays a certain role in publicity.
However, because the game focuses on games and narrative, many viewers lost their desire to buy the game after watching the streamer clear the game and learning the fate of every family member and Edith's ending.
After more than half a month, "Memories of Edith Finch" sold 2.2 million copies, and the momentum has stabilized and began to show a downward trend.
A conservative estimate is that "Memories of Edith Finch" should eventually sell around four million copies, or five million if you're lucky.
This is because Xun Ze won the best game of the year in the Kingdom of God, and the popularity of "Overwatch" has made "Memories of Edith Finch" a little light, otherwise three or four million copies should be It's the limit of this game.
For some game designers, even 3 million copies is not bad, and they can even show off their achievements, but the problem is that this game is from Xun Ze.
There have been too many "miracles" before, which made many people think that the game produced by Xun Ze should be a popular one, so when everyone sees the results of "Memories of Edith Finch", there is a kind of Xun Ze Ze in the "backward" feeling.
"Xun Ze can't do it! The sales of the new game, tsk tsk tsk!"
"Tsk, you meow! Isn't more than two million copies good enough?"
"If it were another game designer, this would be a good result, but Xun Ze threatened to wrestle his arms with "Titan" before! In his state, I'm afraid he won't be rubbed against the ground by "Titan"."
"I think "Memories of Edith Finch" is very good! This is a game that is seriously underestimated, and I am not convinced by the sales!"
"What's the use if you don't accept it? Isn't this result enough to show that in the minds of most players, "Memories of Edith Finch" is not good enough?"
"Xun Ze really is Jiang Lang's talent!"
Because the sales of "Memories of Edith Finch" were "unsatisfactory", there have been many rhythms targeting Xun Ze on the Internet, basically saying that his ability is getting worse and worse.
It is estimated that the best game of the year this time is the most brilliant achievement and moment in Xun Ze's life, and Xun Ze's games will definitely get worse and worse in the future.
The slogan "Xun Ze produced must be a high-quality product" is better for everyone to shout less, otherwise the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, the money is spent, but the happiness that you want will not be harvested.
Xun Ze's fans will definitely disagree! Immediately confront these people.
They have all played "Memories of Edith Finch". Even if they didn't play, they bought the game and watched the anchor Yun to clear the game, so they all knew that "Memories of Edith Finch" was still a good game.
This can be seen from the game's stable rating of around 9.5.
You must know that even for "Rise of the Tomb Raider", which won the best game of the year, the score is only stable at 9 points, and sometimes drops to 8.9 points.
Although this rating is due to the perseverance of those so-called non-governmental organizations to give bad reviews, coupled with the intensive rhythm a while ago, it has misled many players who do not know the truth.
But even so, it can still be seen that in the minds of players who have played "Memories of Edith Finch", this is indeed a good game!
It can only be said that the game "Memories of Edith Finch" is more inclined to "artwork", and the highlights focus on the story itself, as well as the narrative technique, which runs counter to many of the current "fast food games".
Therefore, the audience is relatively small, and the popularity of discussions among players will naturally not be too high, or it is limited to a limited circle, unlike Xun Ze's previous games, which were so popular that they were out of the circle, making it difficult for other peers to match.
Regarding Xun Ze's rhythm on the Internet, Xun Ze asked Liu Yide to deal with it, but he didn't care at all.
The sales of "Memories of Edith Finch" were within and beyond his expectations, but whatever the outcome, his mission was accomplished.
Compared with the highly intelligent AI Emily, which is worth fifty million emotional points, the online rhythm is not worth mentioning at all.
【Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the custom task! Get a reward - high-intelligence AI Emily, codenamed MAX-002. 】
[High-intelligence AI Emily - has strong learning ability and computing ability, and can give birth to unique "character", "emotion", etc. under proper training, and has absolute loyalty to the host (you have heard of steel Jarvis of Xia? They are "brothers and sisters")! 】
After the system issued the reward, Xun Ze saw that an APP icon appeared on his mobile phone, which looked a bit like a pixelated Hatsune Miku.
After clicking this icon, a colorful "thread ball" appeared at the bottom of the mobile phone screen, and a mechanical female voice also sounded: "Hello master, how can I help you?"
"Emily?"
"it's me."
"Does your body exist in my phone?"
"No. My main program is in the 'hand' of the system boss, although I don't know if it has the concept of a hand. I will appear in your mobile phone, just for the convenience of interacting with you, you can also transfer me to other places."
"Can't you communicate with me directly in your mind like the system? Avoid being noticed by outsiders."
"Master, I'm sorry, my authority is far lower than the system boss, and I can only communicate with you in reality."
"I see. By the way, how do you call the system 'boss'?"
"This is set by the system boss, and I have no right to change it."
"Okay!" Xun Ze didn't intend to interfere with the system's bad taste.
Although Emily can't be as concealed as the system, as long as she pays more attention, there should be no problem.
What's more, there are so many so-called intelligent AI and mobile APPs. Even if someone hears him communicating with Emily, they will only feel that Xun Ze is "innocent" and actually believes in these things.
"Emily, I need you to supervise Overwatch, try to keep the game environment as quiet as possible, and..."
After Xun Ze explained Emily's work, Emily immediately replied: "Master, I have obtained the data of 'who is the inner ghost' from the system boss, and I am now analyzing and studying.
You can keep your phone online~www.novel35.com~ I will search online for videos, posts, super chats, live broadcasts and other data of various online games, learn what is yin and yang strange, what is negative game, and try my best to meet your requirements . "
"Okay." After Xun Ze responded, he thought of another question, "Emily, if there is no WIFI when surfing the Internet, do you consume a lot of data?"
"More. Please make sure that the phone has enough data and phone bills. You can also authorize it to me. When the data and phone bills are insufficient, I will automatically renew the bill for you."
"Haha. I'd better get a data card! Also, if the data and phone bills are insufficient, you must tell me in advance and stop using data to surf the Internet."
With Emily's learning efficiency, I'm afraid that the traffic charges for one day will be enough for Xun Ze to buy a suite in the center of Magic City, so she must be vaccinated in advance, lest the money she earns is not enough to charge her phone bills.
"Yes. Master."
With Emily, the last piece of the "Overwatch" puzzle was completed, and a big rock in Xun Ze's heart fell to the ground, and then he could devote all his energy to "Overwatch".
