This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 283 - 187: Origin of the Evolutionary Path (2)
With more and more videos being leaked online, players are no longer completely clueless about this game.
At least everyone knows the general plot of "Global Evolution", as well as the gameplay and some of the game mechanics.
Great, great, great!
The curiosity of everyone has been piqued, the money is ready, so when exactly will this game be released?
Tianba Studio didn’t play any tricks; they simply released the pre-order link for "Global Evolution" on the official website and the Tianba Community.
Clicking the link allows you to pre-order.
After pre-ordering the game, not only will you receive a text notification on the day of release, but you’ll also enjoy a pre-order exclusive discount.
The standard version of the game is priced at 278 yuan and is expected to be released on all platforms on November 11th, Singles’ Day.
This price announced by Chen Ba is for the standard version only. The prices for two other versions have not been disclosed yet, but he assured everyone that they won’t exceed 400 yuan.
This is an exclusive price for the national region.
As for foreign servers, it’s pretty standard, 60 US dollars, take it or leave it. Feel it’s expensive? If you think it’s expensive, why don’t you switch to a low-price region? What’s the big deal if games in developed countries are a bit pricey?
After announcing the pre-sale price and release date, Chen Ba peacefully went underwater for three months and only resurfaced in November.
"Will it be delayed?"
Pan Yang, who was camped in front of his computer screen, was very curious about this.
He had previously added a game to his wishlist that was supposed to release in June for the summer, but it was delayed twice, first to winter, then to the following year.
It wasn’t until the summer of the next year that he finally got to play that game. The developer humorously remarked: Isn’t it summer now?
Damn!
Having suffered losses before, Pan Yang now has a general distrust towards these game release dates.
The same goes for "Global Evolution". 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Although Ba has always had a good reputation, without a history of delays, this time Pan Yang lacks confidence in him.
Mainly because "Global Evolution" is different; this is a 3A game.
From the official announcement of this project by Tianba Studio till now, it has been less than a year. To complete a 3A game in a year?
He was filled with skepticism about it.
Because the time is too short, he thinks it’s highly likely that there will be a delay, and it won’t be released on schedule. After all, the time is really too short, and Ba’s estimated date was too optimistic.
But it’s acceptable.
An insignificant delay, as long as it doesn’t get continuously delayed multiple times, Pan Yang can actually accept it. After all, Ba is his favorite game developer, so a little double standard is fine.
But as it turned out...
Pan Yang was wrong!
Not only did Ba not delay the release, but he released "Global Evolution" on schedule. He even posted in the Tianba Community, stating that he managed to spare some time to make a DLC.
Listen to this, is this even human language?
Others, in a year, could at most create a new folder, whereas Ba not only completed a 3A game but even made a DLC in his spare time.
"Ba, my superman!"
After replying under Ba’s post, Pan Yang quickly clicked on the Nobug link to purchase the game.
Why not use the Steam Platform?
Simple! On the Steam Platform, it’s full price, without any discounts. But buying "Global Evolution" on the Nobug Platform is 50 yuan cheaper.
yuan is already quite a lot.
Even though everyone knows, it’s a trap deliberately designed by Ba to consolidate the Nobug platform’s user base and expand its influence.
But the 50 yuan discount is just too tempting; everyone, although indifferent to the Nobug platform, can’t resist Ba’s "low-price" temptation.
"Standard Edition, Deluxe Edition, and Ultimate Edition?"
Seeing the ultimate edition at the end, Pan Yang couldn’t help but twitch his mouth, and he had no doubt that Ba must have learned this from Tencent.
Learn nothing good, only learn the bad, right?
After glancing at the differences between the three versions, he found that the main changes were in the DLC and game maps, so Pan Yang bought the Ultimate Edition for 378 yuan.
Pre-order users enjoy a 5% discount, and the Nobug platform voucher further reduces the price by 50 yuan, bringing the cost down to just 310 yuan!
At this price, you can’t even buy the Deluxe Edition on the Steam Platform, Pan Yang feels he got a great deal.
The game installation pack is rather large, a full 79.36GB. Not to mention how long it takes to download, some players with smaller hard drives might even need to buy an additional SSD just for this game.
After waiting a full half hour.
Pan Yang finally downloaded the game and changed the live stream title, taking advantage of the early heat, refusing to eat someone else’s leftovers.
"OK! Entering the game, and once again it’s the character creation phase that everyone loves!"
"Since we need to capitalize on the hype, we can’t waste time, so let’s skip the character creation and jump straight into the game..."
Pan Yang’s live streaming was quite popular.
Over the years, although people constantly joked about "Star Emperor" going down, it was just a joke.
The game not only didn’t cool off but was reborn with the heat of the GAL League, consistently ranking at the top of charts in terms of online numbers and popularity.
As the top live streamer for this game, Pan Yang has made quite a bit of money over the years, buying cars and houses, and has tens of millions in savings.
Why could he earn so much money?
Of course, it’s because "Star Emperor" is filled with rich players, and his live streams are the most popular.
"Brothers, this game isn’t an online game, so we won’t skip the plot!"
Because of the different nature of "Global Evolution," Pan Yang specifically told the live stream audience that the plot would generally not be skipped, and everything that should be watched would indeed be watched.
The live stream audience happily accepted this.
After all, it’s a single-player game; if it were an online game, the plot might not matter, but single-player games focus on immersion and engagement, so it’s best not to skip the plot.
If you like skipping the plot, then why spend so much to buy this game?
"The year 2045..."
The narration, along with the CG animation, allowed Pan Yang and the live stream audience to understand the origin and background of the story.
"So many people died?"
When he heard the narration say that the global population had dropped by three-quarters, leaving only 2 billion people, Pan Yang couldn’t help but feel a little scared.
However, when he heard that Hua Country was one of the few forces still capable of maintaining a national form, he felt proud and honored for his country.
With the population dropping so much, many tragedies surely occurred, and the protagonist Chen Yun witnessed the death of his parents with his own eyes.
If not for a passing strongman saving him, he would have died in the wilderness.
"Become stronger!"
Watching his parents die in front of him, that sense of powerlessness deeply tortured Chen Yun, and he resolved to become stronger, to protect his sister, and avenge his parents.
The game officially begins...
After watching that segment of CG animation, Pan Yang’s expression was slightly surprised, seemingly not expecting the protagonist’s background to be so tragic.
What’s more tragic is that he now faces a number one challenge.
The main quest is to find food.
The sister is hungry, and there’s nothing to eat at home. Chen Yun must venture out, but leaving the safe zone is dangerous.
Where could he find food?
Pan Yang initially considered picking some wild fruits, only to find that damn, even the plants have become sentient! Want to eat wild fruits? The wild fruits might as well eat you!
Cannot defeat them, absolutely cannot...
A little grass on the roadside can bully you, chasing the protagonist all over, this feeling of being bullied by everyone did make Pan Yang feel quite helpless.
Dude, do you have to be this weak?
If you can’t even beat a small grass spirit monster, there’s no hope for food, right? Oh no! At the start of the game, is the sister already going to starve to death?
Just as Pan Yang was wandering around, planning to find some easy targets, he suddenly saw a battle between two Fierce Beasts.
"Oh? Opportunity!"
The parable of the sandpiper and the clam fighting and the fisherman reaping the benefit, Pan Yang had heard of it. Watching the two Fierce Beasts biting each other, he immediately realized he could pick up the spoils.
As it turns out, he guessed correctly.
The internal strife among Fierce Beasts is indeed the fastest way to solve food and improve strength in the early days of being underpowered.
Hooray!
Sister, open the door, look what big brother brought you, your favorite snake meat, eat it, and you can become Bai Suzhen...
