Chapter 197 - This Game is Really Unbelievably Lousy… (1/2)

“What game did I just play…?”

Lin Wan closed her laptop and fell into deep thought.

This game was called Bloody Battle Song. It had completely changed what she thought had been the bottom line of games.

Did such a trashy game really exist in the world?!

Although it had already been updated, these changes were mainly made to the gameplay and design.

No matter what changes were made, Bloody Battle Song was still going to be a web-based game. From the moment she entered the game, she found countless reasons to stop playing

The graphics were lousy. They were still filled with the arts and style that belonged to the last century. The characters in the game were all dressed in bits and pieces of decorative patterns, and armors that completely lacked style. The golden special effects wrapping their bodies all looked exaggerated and vulgar. Each of them also had multi-colored wings on their backs.

The background was a mess as well. This was especially true for the main city where most players gathered together. Each person was dressed in multi-colored equipment. A lot of information could be found above the characters’ heads, including their IDs, their guilds, their nicknames, and the like. The entire scene looked extremely messy and unnecessarily complicated.

The game very considerately allowed players to screen others. Once the player entered the game, they could also very easily locate themselves on the map.

However, by allowing this, the game was exposing the ugly truth. It looked cold and deserted. The less beautiful locations were also made very clear to the players.

The vibes of the game’s music made one feel like they had been transported back to ten years before. It did not sound bad, but it was hindering players from being immersed in the game.

The most important thing was that it was a web-based game. That meant that most of its art resources had to be downloaded online.

Each time they entered a new map with a new background, a little progress bar would appear on the screen because the art resources had not been fully downloaded. This progress bar would say ‘downloading resources’.

All the players would also become black, silent figures. The map’s background only appeared after a while.

In places where the background would frequently change, players would experience a meltdown each time it did.

The gameplay was even tackier and simpler. All players had to do was kill beasts, level up, and complete missions. ‘Tired and old’ would be an overstatement for the game.

Lin Wan’s nose was practically scrunched up throughout the entire five minutes that she played the game. During this time, she only felt one thing.

Low-class!

Even if someone paid her to, she would never play this game.

Lin Wan was beginning to regret it. She had too much trust in Boss Pei. That was why she accepted the task without considering too much. She vaguely knew about Shang Yang Games’ situation. She also knew that this company had produced a game that was quite a failure.

However, she never expected that the game would be this bad!

In Lin Wan’s mind, this failure was probably several tiers worse than Sun Strike Studios’ Bullet Hole.

After trying Bloody Battle Song, she finally realized that this was not a matter of several tiers. It was practically years off! This game made her feel like she had been transported back in time by ten years.

After playing the game for a while, Lin Wan not only felt uncomfortable, but she also developed suspicion and confusion towards Pei Qian’s decision.

Why… did Boss Pei buy this game company over?

No matter what angle she looked at this from, there seemed to be only one outcome that this game company deserved: being eliminated from the market.

This company should have gone insolvent. The designer who created this game should have looked for another company to work at. If no company wanted to accept him, he should have changed industries altogether.

From this game’s situation alone, Lin Wan could tell that its designer should not remain in the game industry!

Yet, Boss Pei bought the company over. What’s more, it was said that he personally groomed a newbie and made several suggestions to revamp the company.

The game that Lin Wan had just played was the result of the changes Boss Pei implemented. However, it was obvious that it was far from being a profitable game.
