Let's talk about the experience of stand-alone games first. For example, you spend 68 yuan to buy “Dyson Sphere Project”, build a factory from scratch, research technology, stay up late to optimize the production line, and feel a sense of accomplishment every time you solve a design problem. There are no daily tasks to force you to go online, and no combat power rankings to make you anxious. The game is pure exploration and creation. And what about "Hardcore Three Kingdoms"? Ten consecutive five-star guarantees? Wake up, there are various fragments to increase stars, equipment enhancements, and gem inlays. Every pit is a hint for you to recharge. The so-called leisure liver protection just allows you to collect food offline, and then continue to face various red dots online to remind you that it is time to spend money.
Let's talk about social differences. In stand-alone games, you can discuss tactics with Tieba guys, share saves, and even write your own MODs. The so-called "hot-blooded competition" in online games is just a slaughterhouse where kryptonians use numerical values to crush them. As a zero-charge player, you were beaten by a star-studded boss in the arena to the point of doubting your life, and you were also pushed by the system to be "recommended by millions of strategists" - these "strategists" are probably not asking for help, right?
Finally, let's talk about this developer, Guangzhou Xianba Online Games, whose name has the flavor of a web game. Take a look at their previous works, all of them replaced by pickup cards. This kind of game is essentially a gambling simulator. It uses carefully designed probabilities and "free ten consecutive games" to lure you into the trap, and then waits for you to get the upper hand and start harvesting.
If you really want to experience the Three Kingdoms, it is better to play "Three Kingdoms 14" or "Total War: Three Kingdoms". Even the old game "The Legend of Cao Cao" is more strategic. At least in those games, you rely on your brains and patience, not the thickness of your wallet.
Anyway, I choose to continue playing my single-player game, at least I don't have to be treated like a leek by the manufacturer 🌾
