âHe sang the theme song of Dushi country live. Not only that, but there were also many audience members in red hats in the audience. They were obviously fans of ââsuper Mali Odysseyââ and were cheering on their own accord. â
âââI didnât expect that there would be so many people who like the Odyssey overseas.ââ Even Qian Kun was speechless. â
This surprised many Chinese players. Many people thought that super Mali Odyssey would never be nominated for tgnnâs game of the year.
âOn this point, it could only be said that this was the difference in understanding between domestic players, game enthusiasts, and professional game review media. â
âIn Chen Moâs previous life, Nintendoâs games were considered to be a niche in China, but it would be a lie to say that Nintendo was a niche game in the world. â
âThe reasons for this were more complicated, including domestic policy reasons (host ban), game characteristics, player tastes, consumption habits, game aesthetics, and many other reasons. â
âIn the parallel world, even though there was no longer any reason for policies, there was still a huge difference in the taste of the game between local and foreign players. â
âA very obvious difference was that the players in China were driven by goals, while many Western players were driven by fun. â
âIn other words, most players in China had to have a very clear goal when playing games. The clearer the goal, the more fun they would have. For example, the goal of MOBA games was to kill people, push turrets, and win; The goal of winning the chicken dinner was to search for resources, kill people, and live to the end. â
âAs long as the game had a clear goal, as long as the quality was good, the way it was played was new, and it was an online game, it could be a big success if it was hyped up and became a hot topic. â
âOn the other hand, many Western players were driven by fun. That meant that they paid more attention to the fun in the game than the fastest way to clear the game. Even in League of Legends, which had a clear goal, many foreigners tried this kind of trick and were often featured in special game highlights. â
âOf course, this saying did not apply to all players. There were players in China who were driven by fun, and there were players overseas who were driven by goals. It was just that there were more players overseas who could experience the fun of this game. â
âChen Mo had considered this when he made super Mali Odyssey, hoping that the game would expand its player base and even gain influence overseas. â
âThe candidate games had all been revealed, and next up was the extremely intense and exciting final award ceremony. â
The host came back to the stage with the trophy in his hand.
âââThis year is the year of games. There are all kinds of excellent games, but thereâs only one title for best game.ââ â
âââNext, please allow me to once again introduce the shortlisted games of the year.ââ â
âThe host once again officially announced the list of games that had been shortlisted for the game of the year, and every time he read out the name list, the audience burst into cheers. â
âWhen Dark Souls and super Mali Odyssey were read, the cheers from the audience were even more enthusiastic than those from other games! â
âObviously, these two games had also gained great influence in Europe and the United States, and they were not inferior to the classic IP sequels of big manufacturers. â
âThe host paused, and after the cheers and applause died down, he solemnly said,ââââNow, Iâm very happy to announce that the winner of the game of the year, chosen by 47 media outlets and fans around the world, is ...ââ â
âââThunderbolt games âDark Souls!!ââ â
âAs soon as the host finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the venue! â
âââThis is the first time Thunderbolt games has won the best Game of the Year award, and tonight, Dark Souls has won the best RPG and best Game of the Year awards!ââ â
âThe camera turned to Chen Mo, who was sitting in the audience. Chen Mo stood up and elegantly hugged the designer next to him. Then he waved to the audience as he walked up the stage. â
The experience store was also in a jubilant mood.
âââAwesome! The manager really won game of the year!ââ â
âââHahaha, there should be other designers in the country paying attention to tgnn, right? The manager is so awesome that heâs going abroad!ââ â
âââBut the manager is so calm. Iâm convinced!ââ â
The award ceremony continued while the audience cheered on and off the television.
Chen Zhao and Denise walked onto the stage one after another. Chen Zhaoâs face was full of smiles.
The host held the trophy with both hands and handed it over to Chen Mo.
The applause and cheers lasted for a long time.
Chen Mo walked over to the microphone and looked at the tgnn gaming trophy in satisfaction.
âââThank you to all the tgnn judges and all the players who love Thunderbolt games around the world.ââ â
âââOn behalf of the entire production team, I would like to thank all the players for their long-term support.ââ â
âââCongratulations to all the selected games as well. Everyone is working towards the same goal-to allow the game industry to develop better, and to allow players to enjoy the best spiritual entertainment. â
âââOnce again, thank you for your support. Thunderbolt games will repay you with even better games. Thank you!ââ â
Every sentence Chen Zhao said was translated by Denise. The crowdâs applause and cheers rang out again and again.
âWith Chen Moâs level of English, it wasnât a problem for him to say a few simple words, but he was here to represent Chinaâs gaming industry, so he had to say it in Chinese. â
âIn the end, the audience erupted into thunderous applause and cheers. As Chen Mo held the trophy in one hand and waved to the audience with the other, TGN came to a perfect end! â
âIn the experience store, Qian Kun and the others were already popping champagne to celebrate. Many players were also celebrating, and the entire Experience Store was filled with a joyous atmosphere. â
âââAmazing! This time, he really can hold his head high!ââ â
âââWhen will the manager be back?ââ â
âââLetâs celebrate first! Dark Souls is invincible! The manager is invincible!ââ â
......
âThe tgnn awards ceremony had ended, but the discussion about the awards ceremony continued. â
âThe Chinese players didnât think much of this award, but many overseas players were wondering why the game of the year wasnât given to super Mali Odyssey. â
âEven though they were both Chen Moâs games, they were two completely different genres, and had different core players. â
âFrom Chen Moâs experience in his previous life, these two games were on par with each other in the eyes of professional video game reviewers, with perhaps Odyssey being slightly better. â
The reason why Dark Souls 3 was not as good as Odyssey was that Dark Souls 3 was not as creative as Dark Souls 1.
