Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Because in this world, the video game platform is dominated by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, it is very difficult for other manufacturers to snatch market share from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Other manufacturers also found it difficult to achieve the desired effect by giving away games for free, so they simply gave up on the idea of ​​giving away games.

Unless the game has a history of ten or twenty years, it is rare to see a game given away for free, even if it is discounted to 90% of its original price.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment generously gave away some of their more well-known previous games to players for free.

Among them are the first six Dragon Quest games, Final Fantasy up to the seventh installment, and Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3, which were first popular on the Famicom (NES).

These games will be given away for free every week for the next year, and players can claim them for free through their accounts.

Both Youxing Electronic Entertainment and its players are happy.

By salvaging its reputation, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has essentially saved tens of millions of dollars in marketing and promotion costs.

Of course, this is not enough to cover the losses caused by the recall.

But the players' feedback is very positive, so it's all worth it.

After this incident, sales of all of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's games have increased significantly, with Cyberpunk 2077 showing the largest increase.

More and more people are starting to wonder what kind of game could burn out a game console.

People subconsciously believe that such a game must be incredibly powerful.

That is indeed the case.

After breaking down one game console, Murakami Kazuo would immediately pull out a new one and continue playing within minutes, seemingly without ever getting tired.

He has already completed seven character roles.

Although the final protagonist fates of all seven characters are the same, the overall gameplay experiences are vastly different, with each character offering their own unique enjoyment.

It felt like I was playing seven different games.

Kazuo Murakami immediately felt that selling the game for only $59 was a huge rip-off.

Selling this kind of game for two or three hundred dollars wouldn't be unreasonable.

Of course, this is just talk; if it actually sold for two or three hundred dollars, it would deter many people.

In Cyberpunk 2077, Bamboo Stars focused on enhancing the storyline of another main character, Jack, allowing players to develop feelings for Jack and experience a huge emotional response when Jack dies.

Then, Zhu Youxing added more storyline to the final boss, Adam Hammer.

Different roles require different strategies when facing this final boss.

Later, Zhu Youxing still felt it wasn't enough, so he simply asked the team to use their imagination as much as possible to come up with as many ways as possible to defeat Adam's Hammer, the final boss, so that players could have countless ways to defeat the final boss and find countless kinds of fun.

Then, there are more details about this game.

Carson is now a household name in Europe as a football game esports player, having won the Star World Cup once.

His favorite games are football games and fighting games, because fighting games are his wife's favorite.

Neither of them paid much attention to Cyberpunk 2077 at first.

However, after dealing with the public relations crisis at Yuxing Electronics Entertainment, the two of them became curious about the game and bought it to play.

Then they discovered that this game was not a simple open-world game.

In this game, you can even become an excellent fighting master, or an underground football player.

This experience is quite interesting.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment boasts a top-notch development team that covers almost every type of game and has extensive game development experience. Therefore, when so many people with experience in various types of game development come together, the open-world games they develop are virtually flawless.

It boasts racing-like handling comparable to Forza Motorsport, a first-person shooter experience on par with Titanfall, and the open-world development experience from the Grand Theft Auto development team. In more detail, it also includes gameplay elements such as stock trading, management, construction, tower defense, and strategy games.

The Carsons both felt that they were missing out on a lot by only playing the game now.

They should have tried it sooner.

In a home in a remote city, a man in his fifties stared blankly at the final boss, Adam Hammer, lying on the ground on the screen, slowly dying.

"Dad? How was it? Was it exciting?" The young man looked at his father with anticipation beside the middle-aged man.

"Is this the video game you've always loved? I really... I really didn't expect this..."

The middle-aged man didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment.

Since the release of Cyberpunk 2077, middle-aged people have been playing the game with their children every day after get off work.

The two of them worked together to figure out how to make money in the game, and also worked together to figure out how to solve a certain character's side quest.

The father-son relationship usually grows colder with age, but because of this game, their relationship has become as close as when they were young.

Of course, neither the middle-aged nor the young felt anything about it; they weren't even aware of the change, as they were both completely immersed in the enchanting night city.

In the game's dialogue, Night City is described as a captivating place, attracting countless people who would risk everything for it.

That's how they feel right now.

The entire game experience felt like personally experiencing an extremely long, realistic movie.

Most importantly, this movie is the most immersive; you are the protagonist, and your every move will affect the development of the city.

"Dad, this is the most top-tier game ever. I dare say that after this game is created, it may be difficult for many years before another game surpasses its scale and charm."

"This is the best game? It's really too good, I'm still not quite over it."

In the early stages, Jack's death greatly affected this middle-aged man.

His more than fifty years of life have allowed him to experience more than any child.

He once watched one of his coworkers die right in front of him.

That coworker was someone he used to have a pretty good relationship with.

When he watched Jack die, he subconsciously thought of his former coworker with whom he had a good relationship. Looking at Jack's gradually empty eyes in the game, he seemed to return to the scene when he was watching his coworker.

An indescribable sadness filled his mind at that moment.

Then came anger.

He used to think that movies, games, TV shows, animations, and the like were just entertainment, that they weren't real and wouldn't move him at all. When he watched those shows in the past, he would at most feel a little emotional, but they didn't touch him deeply.

But Cyberpunk 2077 is different; the sense of immersion it provides is incredibly strong.

The emotional impact was too strong.

Chapter 1075 The First Chinese Word a Middle-Aged Man Learned in His Life

The middle-aged man and his son were experiencing the identity of a cyber hacker at the time.

The main gameplay of this identity revolves around stealth and guiding everything from the shadows.

The initial main storyline of this identity involves meeting Jack during a mercenary mission.

Next, Jack will become the frontline henchman of the two-man gang. Jack will lead a few henchmen to charge into battle on the front lines, while the protagonist will act as a hacker behind the scenes to protect Jack.

When the story progresses to the point where they need to steal a chip from the Arasaka Group's hotel building, the protagonist is tasked with guiding Jack and his henchmen.

Finally, just as Jack was about to succeed, he witnessed Saburo Arasaka being assassinated. The murderer was Yoriyuki Arasaka. In a panic, the protagonist guided Jack to escape from a hidden place.

However, the protagonist's hacker location was also discovered by the Arasaka Group's top cyber team, who launched a cyberattack against him.

The protagonist escapes capture just before his sudden death, then reunites with Jack, and witnesses Jack's death. From then on, the protagonist vows to avenge Jack and uses his hacking skills to investigate the secrets of Arasaka Yoriyuki and uncover more of the Arasaka Group's hidden secrets.

Meanwhile, the protagonist also fights alongside another main character, Johnny Silverhand, who resides within the protagonist's mind.

The final outcome is that the protagonist, together with the companions he met through many side quests and main quests, storms the new Arasaka Corporation building.

This time, the protagonist is no longer just a hacker. He personally rushes to the front line to avenge Jack. Of course, he is not the main combatant on the front line; the main combatants are his partners.

There's Rogue, Johnny Silverhand's former lover; Panan, a member of the Wanderers group whom Johnny met during a main quest; and Judy, a top hacker and Mewtwo master whom Johnny met during a main quest involving a chip...

Many people are gradually captivated by the protagonist in the game's story, willing to fight for him and to liberate the entire Night City.

Of course, in the end, these people either died or were injured, but Night City remained the same Night City. In the end, they only managed to kill Adam Heavy Hammer, one of the strongest henchmen of the Arasaka Group.

The Arasaka Group should continue its development in Night City, a place that devours people without spitting out their bones.

The middle-aged man in his fifties was in a daze after watching Adam's hammer slowly die before his eyes.

The revenge is over, but the whole process seems so helpless.

It really has a strong aftereffect.

After experiencing the hacker identity, the father and son, like Kazuo Murakami, tried to experience other identities, each with its own unique fun.

"Will games like this never appear again for several years?" The middle-aged man in his fifties seemed to have more to say.

"Hmm...it's probably unlikely to appear anytime soon, since this game took a huge amount of money, manpower, and time from Youxing Electronics Entertainment to make. But Dad, don't think that just because I'm telling you this is the best, other games aren't fun. If you want, we can play other games."

"Hmm...it's not impossible."

At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly felt that playing more video games seemed like a good choice in his daily life.

People can't always live with too much tension, can they?

"Dad, let me recommend one of my favorite games to you, called Sekiro. It's super difficult, but also very fun."

"Hmm? Is it difficult? Your old man is getting old now, unlike you young people who can play those high-difficulty games. Games like Cyberpunk 2077 that can be completed on an easy difficulty are the best."

"Don't worry, Dad. If you just take this game a little seriously, you'll definitely find it fun! The fun you get in the end is much better than if it's too difficult."

"Is that right?"

"It's like this, Dad. If you don't believe me, look me in the eyes. Would I lie to you?"

"meeting."

"..."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Alright, since it was you who recommended it, I'll give it a try even if it's really difficult. But in exchange, I think you should also learn more about my daily life."

"Huh? What daily routine?"

"It's just to familiarize you with my job. You haven't had a job in a long time, have you? I don't want you to become a lazy bum who only knows how to play games all day long."

"Huh? Dad, you actually know the term 'otaku'?"

"Yeah, I feel like I've become a lot younger and I'm more aware of modern trends, which is quite interesting."

"How about this, Dad? Let's make a bet. If you can beat Sekiro, I'll work for you at your workplace, okay?"
