Let's talk about the conclusion first. I didn't spend any money on this game. I played it for half an hour and then deleted it. It's not because I'm following the trend, it's because I really can't bear it. Isn't the topic of today's forum about stand-alone vs online games? I think it's perfect to use this game as a negative lesson.
Look at these slogans. They talk about "next-generation ultimate graphics," "full-screen explosive 3D special moves," "the best martial arts club in the world," and "summoning the dragon." Doesn't that sound bluffing? I went in and took a look, my dear, the character modeling is just like the level of web games ten years ago. The so-called explosive special move is that the screen flashes randomly and fills the screen with numbers. It doesn't even have a sense of impact. It's pure light pollution. How dare you call it the next generation? I think they are leftovers from the previous generation.
Here's the key point. The charging mode says 0. I thought it was a free game, but when I entered it, a gift package with a 0.05% discount and double super gold popped up. It was a limited-time countdown, urging you to top up. I think this 0.05% discount looks very steep, but in fact it just inflates the price of the game props by ten times, giving you the illusion of "fracture". To put it bluntly, this is a krypton gold-skinned web game covered in dragon ball skins, similar to those 9999-sword Archangel Swords on previous web pages.
When it comes to the differences between stand-alone and online games, I can't help but say a few more words. What is the experience of single player gaming? I spend two to three hundred yuan to buy out a good game, and the content inside is all mine, including the plot, characters, and hidden elements. As long as I have time and the heart to explore, I can play it out bit by bit with my own skills. I've practiced Dragon Ball FighterZ for hundreds of hours, each character's combos, counterattacks, and defense breaks. If you lose, you're not as good as others, but if you win, it's your real skill. Look at this game again. A five-year-old kid from Krypton can crush you with his combat power. If you charge money, you will become a Super Saiyan. If you don't charge money, you will be a little bastard under Frieza. You have to log in online every day to do your daily routine, just like going to work.
What annoys me the most is this design that forces social interaction. There are always rankings, guilds, and cross-server battles. If you don't participate, you will feel isolated. What about stand-alone games? I hold the controller, love whoever I want, pause when I want, read files when I want, no matter how awesome those NPCs are, they can't control me. This is playing games, not being played by games.
