That was because it was a realistic theme that could be found anywhere in reality. How the rich lived in the United States and how the poor lived could be easily found in the information. It would be particularly rich in the game.
All in all, the two voices on the internet were arguing endlessly. There were obviously many players who were hurt and disgusted by this game. However, there were also many hardcore Tengda fans who were trying their best to fill in the blanks. Although there were few people, the voices were loud. Neither side could convince the other.
Pei Qian knew very well that this was a turning point, and he must not let his guard down!
Many previous games had successfully reached this step, but the situation was instantly reversed with Teacher Qiao's video interpretation. The previous debate had increased the popularity.
Therefore, Pei Qian must not allow such a thing to happen!
I don't care if you can see the philosophy of life from Struggle. After all, Struggle is just a mirror. It is completely based on real life. Players can always analyze some content when they analyze real life.
However, analysis is analysis; don't brag and don't buy it!
Pei Qian had already thought of a way to 'seal' Teacher Qiao using the Thriller Hostel as an opportunity.
Pei Qian said at the time that if he wanted to find what was really missing in the Thriller Hostel video, he had to give up the Products of the Gods video series and not use it to interpret Struggle.
Looking at Qiao Liang's attitude, he seemed to have accepted it.
Of course, as a reliable person, Pei Qian would not relax his vigilance for any possibility.
What if Teacher Qiao saw the debate on the Internet and was filled with righteous indignation and could not bear it anymore? What if he resolutely gave up looking for what was missing in the previous video, broke the seal, and produced another episode of Products of the Gods to explain Struggle?
Wouldn't that be a trap?
Pei Qian would never allow such a thing to happen.
Therefore, Pei Qian had already thought about it. He wanted to strike first.
Take Teacher Qiao's path and make Teacher Qiao have no way to go!
…
At the same time, Qiao Liang also played Struggle in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
Although he was still busy with Fei Huang Workspace to expose the formaldehyde housing of Home Corporation, he still had to take time out to play Boss Pei's new game.
Qiao Liang had been waiting for this game for almost half a year.
Products of the Gods had not been updated for almost half a year.
It wasn't that he didn't want to make games videos from other companies. There were so many good games in the world. If domestic standalone games were not good enough, there were still foreign standalone games. If he wanted to make a video, he could always find material.
However, Qiao Liang just felt that even though the triple-A masterpieces of the other games companies were good, they always felt that there was no meaning to them!
As for what this smell was? It was really hard to explain.
Because there were only two types of games that were worthy of being featured in Products of the Gods.
The first type received a lot of attention before it was released, and it received a lot of good reviews when it was released. After it was released, it became a classic that lasted for a long time.
The second type received a lot of attention before it was released. It received a lot of good reviews when it was released, but its popularity gradually faded after it was released.
As for the worse games, they would be hyped up before they were released, only to be greatly disappointed after they were released. Such games were even less qualified to be included in Products of the Gods.
In short, the successful Triple-A masterpieces abroad were basically successful from the time they were promoted to the time they were released. They received a lot of attention and were naturally successful.
What was missing?
Qiao Liang felt that there was a lack of a reversal and a sense of expectation.
A game received a lot of attention from the time it was promoted. Everyone knew that it was a good game, and most people could analyze what was good about it. It would always feel meaningless to make a video interpretation at this time.
There was no novelty, not special enough.
On the other hand, Boss Pei's games were all controversial when they were first released. However, after digging out the deeper meaning and interpreting it, the entire public opinion could be reversed instantly, and all the shortcomings became advantages.
This reversal and sense of expectation were the elements that Qiao Liang cared about the most!
He had also tried to make successful foreign games in the middle, but he always felt that there was no flavor, no excitement that belonged to Boss Pei.
Therefore, Qiao Liang, who regarded Products of the Gods as his most precious brand, did not want to use some videos that 'looked good' to make up the numbers. This had little to do with the quality of the game, but it had a lot to do with the way the video was interpreted.
A good game would not necessarily make a good video.
Therefore, this matter had been put on hold.
However, when he saw the game Struggle and the fierce debate on the Internet, Qiao Liang suddenly burst into creative enthusiasm again!
Using the video series of Products of the Gods to interpret it and turn all the shortcomings into advantages was his mission!
If the core players of Tengda Games were all imaginative monsters and would have their own halo when looking at Tengda Games, Qiao Liang was obviously the strongest among them.
After playing the game 'Struggle', he had a lot of content that he wanted to talk about.
However, he fell into hesitation. This hesitation mainly came from three aspects.
First, the content of Struggle was too complicated to analyze. It was not as clear as Repent and be Saved.
Qiao Liang thought about it casually and thought of at least ten points that could be analyzed, such as wealth, the gap between the rich and the poor, the chicken soup for struggle, the importance of education, the exploitation and hatred between classes, why the rich did not eat minced meat …
However, these questions seemed too loose.
The game 'Struggle' gave Qiao Liang the feeling that it was like a mirror, showing the cruelty of reality, but there was no clear expression.
He seemed to be unable to find the theme and focus.
Of course, it did not seem to be a problem if it was just a mirror. As a realistic game, sharply exposing reality itself was also a kind of meaning. However, for Qiao Liang, what should he do with this video?
Explain all the key points? It was not so much an analysis of the game as an analysis of reality. There was a lack of a good theme and entry point.
It was very difficult to make this video.
Secondly, Boss Pei said that if he wanted to find what was missing in the Thriller Hostel episode, he had to give up Products of the Gods and give up explaining Struggle. If he did not listen, he would probably lose the opportunity to find the problem of the Thriller Hostel episode forever.
Finally, he was still busy with Fei Huang Workspace making a video to expose Home Corporation's formaldehyde houses.
He could take time out if it was just a trial game. However, making two videos at the same time was equivalent to doing two things at once. He could not devote 100% of his energy to either.
Therefore, Qiao Liang fell into a dilemma.
In the past, when Boss Pei's games came out, he would quickly accumulate a lot of material, and a video would be done very quickly.
However, this time, there was a very sullen feeling that he was not prepared enough.
Qiao Liang intended to read the comments online. He might get some material and inspiration.
Whether it was criticism or appreciation of Struggle, it would allow him to better understand the meaning of this game. After all, everyone's experience was different, and the content they saw when playing Struggle was different.
However, after looking through some mixed comments from players, Qiao Liang suddenly found something that shocked him.
The official Weibo of Tengda Games posted a long Weibo about Struggle!
"'Struggle' is a game with a realistic theme. It's like a mirror that reflects the real life. The game itself has no clear theme. The designer's goal is to let every player see different content in the game.
"We welcome everyone to actively interpret the meaning contained in the game, such as: the meaning of education, class solidification, the nature of exploitation and poverty …
"The official platform will continue to pay attention. Excellent answers will be selected and will be rewarded with a surprise reward of full waivers for Game Designer, Repent and be Saved, and Struggle!"
Not long after this Weibo post was posted, players began to participate enthusiastically!
Although there was still a huge debate on the internet about Struggle, there were many hardcore fans after all. They had been working hard to think about the meaning of this game. Now that there was such a generous reward, their enthusiasm to participate was fully mobilized!
There were even players' comments that were selected by the official platform.
"One thing that left a deep impression on me was that the poor and the rich in the game had actually become two highly separated groups. The two groups of people could not understand each other. "Just like the rich version of the protagonist thinks, 'How can I not have time to accompany my children? Can I be busier than the CEO?' However, the story of the poor version tells us that many poor people are indeed busier than the CEO. That is because the CEO can arrange his own time, but the poor can't. They have to work more than ten hours a day, and they will fall into the abyss if they relax even a little. "The tragedy of the rich protagonist is precisely because he never understood what kind of life the real poor live …"
This long comment was selected by the official Weibo Weibo, reposted, and received a surprise gift package of full waivers for all three games.
Qiao Liang felt dizzy and almost cursed in anger.
What is the meaning of this event?!
Are you trying to steal my rice bowl?
What you're doing is a waste of material! What a waste of resources!
Many connotations would be easier to resonate with if they were expressed in a certain way.
Qiao Liang was very good at this when he was making the video. First, he set up suspense, buried the foreshadowing, and finally revealed the truth.
However, the official platform's activity now was like pulling out the outline of a wonderful long story and spreading it in front of the readers!
Many things had to be laid out for a long time to look good. What was the point of just throwing out the outline of the story?
However, the official platform's current approach was to encourage all players to search for these points in the game and then throw them out!
The players had already seen these contents. If Qiao Liang used these materials to make a video, it would feel completely different.
The players had already been spoiled. Many people already knew what you were going to say the moment you opened your mouth. How could they play?
What was even more outrageous was that the official Weibo directly said: "'Struggle' is a mirror. It does not have a clear theme."
Didn't this sentence mean that the official platform determined that 'Struggle' had no theme?
If Qiao Liang found a suitable theme and made it into the video, wouldn't it conflict with the official definition and prove that he was over-interpreting it?
The multiple blows from Boss Pei made Qiao Liang fall into a state of confusion.
There were many ways to interpret 'Struggle', but all of them were blocked by Boss Pei mobilizing the masses!
