You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 356: The game was praised by the whole network, and Mr. Lu is worthy of being the dark horse of the new era (2 in 1 order required)

At this time, the live broadcast room barrage was shocked:
"Oh my god, this ending is so shocking! It's so unexpected, I can't believe it!"

"The true ending is pretty good, Officer Kitahara finally got what he wanted."

"The game's plot is incredibly gripping, and every twist and turn keeps me guessing. It's so thrilling!"

After the live broadcast ended that day, the popularity of the live broadcast room reached nearly 1600 million.

After the live broadcast ended, G-chan was still not satisfied and continued to release a game review video overnight.

"Hey everyone, here I am! I'm super excited today because I just finished a game I've been obsessed with recently - "The End"!
Now that I have finished playing the game, I would like to give a detailed review of this game.

First of all, the plot of this game is quite exciting!

From Kitahara Kensuke's marriage crisis at the beginning to the end of the world, and then to the final struggle for life and death, every step is full of excitement, and there are those reversals that are hard to keep up with!

It can be said that the plot from the beginning of the game to the end is full of interesting moments, and I played it with great excitement.

Moreover, the imagination of the game production team is breathtaking. Every doomsday scene is so realistic and shocking!
Since I started taking the Shinkansen train, I have seen Japan’s famous landmark buildings at many stations. Fighting zombies in such a scene is so exciting!
The shooting system that combines a roguelike random bullet mode with FPS gameplay is also quite addictive!
The handle feels great, and you can switch to knife mode. I've never experienced such a novel way of playing in all these years. I highly recommend this game to everyone!"

Many players have been praising the video in the comment section:
"Random bullets do have a high degree of freedom. I remember someone summing up and it seems that there are already hundreds of ballistic effects that can be statistically analyzed!"

"I think the most exciting part is the one where you defend the castle tower against zombies. It's a bit like the level in StarCraft where you defend the fortress from the Zerg swarm!"

"I'm different from you guys. I'm playing this game for Emi's wife. MILFs are so exciting!"

Of course, the plot party also joined the discussion:

"I think it's really bold for Taoyuan Township to take on the apocalyptic zombie genre when domestic games are almost completely over-the-top with martial arts and cultivation themes. The final result is also fantastic. I'm blown away!"

“Indeed, the part where the zombies attack the city is quite exciting, and the structure of the script is also very good.
Kitahara Kensuke and Ueda Yusaku appear in the interrogation room at the very beginning of the game, and at the end, the two of them have a fateful showdown on the train. The sacrifices of many supporting characters are also very touching. Overall, it is a very good story!

G-chan’s review video has once again heated up discussions across the entire network!
Various related terms began to appear on the hot searches on D Station and Weibo:
#Host G successfully achieved the true ending of "The Last Line"#
#Kitahara Kensuke's final fate#
#In a zombie apocalypse, how can you improve your survival record? #
Many players who were attracted by these discussions and hot searches, out of curiosity, searched for the live broadcast clips of G-chan fighting zombies, and were instantly drawn into the game!
……

A large number of new players have poured in and started buying game bundles like crazy!
The intensity of this rush to buy has once again shocked the FPS gaming industry!

Everyone flocked to the Taoyuan Fantasy Game Platform to buy the bundle set online for 2599 yuan.

Because this level of set is more cost-effective, it includes not only the game itself, but also the gun handle and the extra-dimensional tactile rubber coat.

Soon, news came from the CD pressing factories and OEM production lines that all stocks in major cities were sold out!

Originally, the production coordinator of Xiaohutuxian Toy Company was not optimistic about his own game, and the controller was shipped in a bad state, but he didn't expect it to become so popular!
Taoyuan Fantasy Mall replenishes its stock at 0:30 am every day, but it is sold out in less than seconds after it is opened for purchase.

This time, the official use of real-name purchase restrictions also restricted scalpers from using scripts to buy.
Therefore, those who can grab it are the real lucky ones, and social media is full of players sharing their screenshots and experiences of buying the game!
More players who were unable to grab the game have called on the official on Weibo to add purchasing channels to meet the demand!
……

In the offline channels of various cities, the competition is even more intense than the previous "My Wife is the Savior"!
After all, it was Taoyuan Township’s first VR masterpiece, and many players were still waiting and watching. But now, Taoyuan Township’s reputation has long been spread, and purchasing behavior has become even more crazy!
In major electrical appliance chain stores and franchise stores, there are long queues of people waiting to buy, and the scene is extremely lively!

Every day when the store opens, players rush to buy games and squeeze into the store. The buying craze reaches its peak. In order to prevent stampedes, many places even urgently mobilize police.

Soon, the shelves in the game stores were bare, and all versions of the game were sold out!
Now, not only game stores in provincial capitals, but even computer malls in third- and fourth-tier small towns have become treasure hunt targets for hungry players. Once someone reports that a certain county still has stock, players within a hundred miles will drive over!
Because the game is hard to get, the spot price has also risen sharply.

The three-in-one bundle set, originally priced at 2599, was resold on Xianyu for over 5!

……

"Defense of the Last Resort" currently tops the game sales charts on major gaming platforms, with a peak of 40 copies per hour and daily sales exceeding 380 million copies, breaking several sales speed records in the domestic gaming industry!

At the same time, the total sales of "The Last Stand" soared to 2200 million copies, officially surpassing "Wilderness: Redemption"!

Not only the game itself is popular, but also the peripheral products.

The official surrounding development department of Taoyuan Township keenly sensed the business opportunity and began to develop various derivative products.
"Final Defense" T-shirts printed with themes such as characters, bullets, and zombies have topped the fashion bestseller list and become a popular street fashion!
Among them, the most popular one is the Akihabara maid zombie T-shirt. There is no doubt that the zombie girl has also hit the XP of many people.

The limited edition "Final Defense" gun phone case is sold out within just a few minutes of each restocking round. Anyone who brings this phone case to work will definitely be the focus of the company recently.

Many players discovered that the handle was produced by Xiaohutuxian Company, and that other toy guns produced by this company were also surprisingly similar to the handle peripherals of this game, so they placed orders to buy them as souvenirs.

While they were buying, they were also seriously analyzing online:
"Guess why Xiaohutuxian Company made the peripherals of their new game controller exactly the same as their old product?"

Soon, a passerby replied to the post below:
"Are they just taking their old controllers, repackaging them, and selling them as new controllers?"

The host replied decisively:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!

If you think so, you really underestimate Taoyuan Township. Mr. Lu is nicknamed the "God of Business". Do you think he will allow his subsidiaries to be so shabby and perfunctory?
This must be Mr. Lu's deliberate decision to have the subsidiary design the product this way, so as not to interfere with the subsidiary's product culture. And now, facts have proven that Mr. Lu's strategy is very successful, and it has even boosted sales of old products! "

Everyone suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Even with such details, he can calculate so many steps. Mr. Lu is indeed a dark horse entrepreneur of the new era!"

In addition to peripheral products, the game's original soundtrack OST has also topped the music charts of major music software and has been collected by countless players!
Many players left messages in the music comment area.

The comment with the most likes reads:
"Hearing these sometimes exciting and sometimes soothing background music, I can't help but think of the Shinkansen train running in the sunset, it shuttles through the zombie tide, holding the final line of defense for the hope of human survival.
I think I will remember that afternoon when I escaped with my wife for many years.

Some people also lamented:
"Zhang Qiqi's progress is truly visible to the naked eye. She truly deserves to be the leading music producer in Taoyuan Township!"

……

As more and more players start playing Endgame, a new round of positive reviews has appeared in the game review section:

"This is a recent masterpiece, bar none. As we all know, many FPS games focus more on themes and gameplay than plot, but I didn't expect this game's plot to be so gripping! It's much better than the other two competing games of the same period!"

"This game has completely taken off recently. Several FPS player groups I joined have all dropped their games and started playing zombies instead."

“After putting on the VR headset, the graphics and sound effects are comparable to FPS masterpieces on foreign consoles!”

"The person above, the moon is not necessarily rounder in foreign countries. This game is much better than other FPS masterpieces, okay?

Have you ever seen a game with a deformable gun handle?
What's even more outrageous is that this controller can very realistically simulate the recoil of a gun when shooting. When you're shooting zombies, the feeling of output is so cool!"

In addition to rigorous discussions about the FPS feel, some players also commented on the gameplay:
"Let me tell you about a point that you haven't paid much attention to, which is the clapping scene between Kensuke and Emi in the train bathroom.

Taoyuan Township officials have released a small benefit. As long as you play the true ending once, you can use the [Memories of Love] function to return to the train bathroom and continue to applaud Huimei.

The official also unlocked the [Fantasy of Love] mode, adding several new applause scenes, namely "Emi's Room", "Exhibition Cabinet in the Castle Tower", "Custom Shop in Akihabara", and "Biochemical Laboratory of the University of Tokyo".

"I'm going to say it again. I played through all four of the newly unlocked scenarios yesterday and couldn't stop. I'm practically slumped over now, so I had to skip work and stay home to indulge in Nutri-Express."

"Extra-dimensional tactile belt technology, YYDS!"

Many zombie fans also expressed their amazement at the game: "As a fan of apocalyptic science fiction and horror games, I can only say that this game depicts the big cities in the apocalypse so beautifully."

“The monster settings of various zombies are also quite good, such as sumo zombies, samurai zombies, fat house zombies, maid zombies…”

With the surge in game sales, more and more anchors and UP hosts have joined in secondary creation.

Many creators have published video clips, fan fiction, music, and other works on the theme of how to survive the apocalypse.

The game is even so popular that as long as a UP host's tag contains "Final Defense Line", he can instantly attract traffic and gain thousands of followers!

On Baidu Tieba, someone has set up a forum specifically called "End of the Line Defense Organization", where a bunch of guys role-play every day, simulating people of various identities on the doomsday train, and they never get tired of it.

……

Before the release of "Final Defense", many gaming media decided not to get involved in this FPS flagship war between the three major domestic console manufacturers.

The reason is very simple. Whether it is Tenghui or Youyi, they are financial sponsors who cannot be provoked. If you say good things about one of them, you will offend the other.

However, the extent to which "The Last Line" broke the circle was beyond all of their expectations.

These days, whoever capitalizes on the popularity of a hit game first can reap the benefits, and the media can't help but join in.

Kane Camp:

[World Premiere Review of "The Last Line"]

The settings of "random bullets" and "charge" may seem like bugs, but they are a pioneering move that subverts traditional FPS.
Especially in the closed train, while engaging in a tense zombie battle royale, players can experience the roguelike gameplay of resource allocation. Taoyuan Township has reached a new height in game design.

Video Games vs. Computer Games:
[Taoyuan Township's new tour experience, a unique apocalyptic shooting blockbuster]

In this game, players can personally experience the scene of a city going from being well-ordered to being completely out of control.

The continuous evolution of the lighting and texture details of the Taoyuan Kaiwu engine, as well as the real environment simulation of VR glasses, undoubtedly gave me an unprecedented excitement.

Of course, there are also special bonus plots that can only be understood but not expressed in words. I can only say that compared with previous works, Taoyuan Township’s progress in extra-dimensional technology is also quite rapid.

Geek Bay:
Is a hardware revolution in gaming peripherals coming soon?

As a hardware technology media, we are more concerned about the new gun handle brought by Taoyuan Township.

The special and strange structure of this handle should be used to set the random bullets in the game.

But I prefer the transformation process from a pistol to a sword. This innovative technology makes the boundary between the player and the virtual world more blurred.

We hope Taoyuanxiang can launch more interesting and fun peripherals!
IGN:

[Taoyuan Township brings more than just a good story]

Different from the previous love stories, Taoyuanxiang wrote a zombie story that seems not mainstream enough.
Compared with the heroic protagonists in domestic and foreign FPS masterpieces, most of the supporting characters in "Last Line", from Kensuke Kitahara, Emi, to Jiro Hanada, come with their own dark history or character flaws.

In this way, facing danger and fear and fighting a desperate battle with zombies becomes an opportunity to correct defects.

For example, Ueda once said that Kitahara was a twisted person, and there was an irreconcilable contradiction between his behavior and his ideal of being a police officer.
I believe that what really touches the hearts of players is definitely not the crazy killing of zombies, but the human weaknesses between humans, which are constantly deconstructed and magnified in the closed carriage of the end of the world.

What shocked me was that the Self-Defense Force soldiers rescued Emi in the end because they were carrying Prime Minister Arasaka's most prized possession - a research terminal containing a vaccine.

It turns out that the real cause of this disaster, Arasaka, has successfully become the new head of the provisional government. After obtaining the vaccine, does he really intend to save the world? I have to question it.

Kitahara Kensuke is just like many other small people at the bottom of society. Even if he fights zombies all the way and gets bloodied, he cannot escape the fate planned for him by the top design of the big consortium.

The Chief Cabinet Secretary who kept bowing and apologizing for the "private Marseille" was the best irony of this scene.

This masterpiece still highlights the spiritual core of Taoyuanxiang games.

Anti-involution!
Because of the internal competition and pressure of office workers, Kensuke Kitahara accepted bribes, which led to a crisis in his marriage with Emi.

Because of his parents' Alzheimer's disease, Yusaku Ueda was trapped in Tokyo and became a minion of the Arasaka family.

But unlike the fallen Ueda, Kitahara ultimately held on to the "final line of defense" of his inner sense of justice.

I think this game will be the best 'genre film' in the Chinese gaming community for a long time, bar none!"

With IGN's praise for the game's plot, the game also began to break into other fields.

On Weibo, there are even foreign disaster film directors who have sent out messages to Taoyuan Township, hoping that the game can be adapted into a disaster movie.

Under the director's Weibo post, some players also left a message: "Please beg for a TV animation and a live-action movie!"

……

At this time, the headquarters of Xiaohutuxian Toy Company.

The office area is brightly lit at night, and the production coordination center is stepping up the rush work on the gun handles.

Looking at the shipment details on the production order, Hu Tu, the founder of Xiaohutuxian, could hardly believe his eyes.

Within half a month after the game was released,
The cumulative shipments through various channels have exceeded 2000 million sets, but demand still exceeds supply!
Information currently transmitted from agents at all levels shows that the new demand gap far exceeds 1500 million.

This is the result after just half a month on the market!
One employee reported:
"General Manager, we're coordinating with the toy factory we've worked with before to increase production orders, but... it's a little strange."

Hu Tu was very excited and asked quickly, "What's so strange?"

“Our old products that were once heavily criticized have become very popular recently, and many players are rushing to buy them.

We used to have old inventory that no one wanted even at a 70% discount, but now those downstream suppliers are demanding it again and are not only willing to restore the original price but also offer a premium. Why do you think this is happening?"

Hutu paced back and forth thinking,
In fact, ever since Xiaohutuxian was acquired, he has been secretly delighted, thinking that he has found a sucker investor and wants to start a bad life.

But what happened recently really overturned his cognition.

If the controller became so popular because of the gaming, then why did the old products become so popular?

Unless... unless President Lu had anticipated this."

Thinking of this, he suddenly patted his head excitedly:
"I understand, I understand everything. This is all part of Mr. Lu's plan!"
