On the whole, the overseas promotion of "Diablo" did not encounter too many difficulties, and it was better than that of "Warcraft".

After all, after the release of "Warcraft", Thunder Mutual Entertainment has also gained a certain reputation overseas, especially in certain groups of players who like this theme. There has been a wave of reputation points, so "Diablo" is in It has already attracted the attention of many players before the release.

Furthermore, the Western fantasy theme is relatively popular abroad, especially in the European and American markets. "Diablo" itself is an RPG theme. Compared with the RTS game such as "Warcraft", it has a wider audience.

Different from domestic players, overseas players do not criticize the third-person perspective too much, because there are more independent games overseas, and more players like single-player games.

Of these independent games, many small studios are limited to cost issues and can only develop RPG games with a third-person perspective. Therefore, overseas players have a higher acceptance of this RPG than domestic players.

After the publicity warm-up, in the expectation of players, the overseas version of "Diablo" is officially launched!

The overseas version of "Dark" is priced at $49, which is much more expensive than "Warcraft." After all, "Diablo" has more investment and better production. It is also an RPG game with a wider audience.

……

The overseas version of "Diablo" is officially on sale.

Players who have followed this game before have bought and downloaded them. Many of them are loyal players of "Warcraft". They believe that the game companies who made "Warcraft" will definitely make the same RPG games. classic.

Soon, these players were attracted by the unique art style and sophisticated plot of "Diablo".

Different from domestic players, overseas players, especially those in Europe and the United States, have a deeper understanding of this cultural background and are more likely to resonate with the world created in "Diablo".

At the same time, the concepts of angels, demons, and Nephitian are too cordial for European and American players. The story of Nephitian’s saving the world is very consistent with the values ​​of individual heroism in Western culture, and the role of Tyrael, To a certain extent, it got to the point of Western political correctness.

Without exception, these players are full of praise for the plot of "Diablo".

……

The highest heaven.

"Tyrell, the ancient law of the highest heaven forbids us to interfere in the affairs of mortals!"

"But you did it anyway, and... blatantly!"

Imperius stood on the high seat of the gods, his golden armor gleaming, and his flame wings waved, looking like the incarnation of a **** full of majesty.

Tyrell, wearing silver armor, did not show any weakness: "Imperius, all my faults are to show justice! And you will only hide behind your throne!"

"Shut up!!"

Imperius turned into a streamer, rushed towards Tyrael, and grabbed the armor on his chest.

"Now, you must be punished for this crime!"

The golden light and the silver light started a melee. In the end, Tyrael took the spear of Impris, and pointed the spear at the courageous archangel of the Supreme Anglis Council, righteousness. Sternly said: "You have no right to judge me, because I am the embodiment of justice!"

"We should not only fight the demons, but also protect the innocent people!"

"But if our supreme commandment makes you do nothing, then...I will no longer be with you!"

Tyreel grabbed his angel's shoulder armor with both hands and let out a painful growl. The angel's divine power began to burst out continuously, sweeping the entire hall.

Imperius involuntarily took a step back and said angrily: "He is a sin against the sky, I am willing to fall!"

Tyrell’s wings fell and melted on the ground of the highest heaven. The red flames began to burn his whole body. Tentacles made of supernatural power grabbed his arms and dragged him into the world. .

Tyrell turned into a meteor and fell towards Tristram Cathedral.

……

The plot of "Diablo" has also aroused heated discussion among overseas players.

"To be honest, I was the most surprised by Tyrael's story. The world view of "Dark" seems to be very desperate. The protagonist fights alone wherever he goes, as if there has never been an enemy, but Tyrael It should be of the type that can help a little bit."

"I think the screenwriter's positioning of Tyrael's role is too accurate, and a series of plots also show Tyrael's character to the fullest."

"As a justice angel, he strictly abides by the law, rules and order, and maintains fairness and justice at all times, because this is the duty of the justice angel."

"But at a critical juncture, in order to save the world, Tyrael chose to stand on the side of mankind, personally violated the precepts of the supreme heaven, and abandoned his identity as an angel. I think this spirit is really precious. !"

"Yes, few foreign games can give me this kind of touch from the plot and story. "Diablo" did it. Sure enough, Thunder Mutual Entertainment has continued their plot essence. Carefully crafted, this plot is really great!"

……

Similar to "Diablo" when it was released in China, players had a high initial opinion of this game, especially after experiencing all the plots, the score of the overseas version of "Diablo" reached around 9 points.

Moreover, because overseas players are more likely to resonate with this magical theme, the situation of the overseas version of "Darkness" is even better than Chen Mo expected. The first week's sales are expected to be around 600,000 sets. Monthly sales are expected to hit 3 million sets.

Chen Mo estimates that the combined sales of "Dark" at home and abroad ~ IndoMTL.com ~ may reach 10 million sets. Although it is far less than the 30 million sets in the previous life, this data is already very impressive. Up.

However, while the overseas version of "Dark" is on sale, there are more and more controversies about this game.

Part of it is from overseas players.

"I think I was cheated by the developer. Although the plot of this game is very good and the quality is great, but the later stage is really boring! It's unbelievable, this game compares with "Warcraft" It's really too much difference!"

"Yes, even if measured by the standards of a single player game, it is a bit too monotonous, which reminds me of some Korean games, which look very beautiful, but actually a mess!"

"Uh, although I think the above two have some criticisms of this game, I also think so. Although this game is impeccable in terms of plot and quality, its subsequent gameplay is not as good as the sincere Full of independent games. So I can only give it 7 points."

"A very boring game. I don't know why the designer has to make more than a dozen levels of difficulty. Does he expect us to brush it day after day until the highest difficulty is reached?"
