Chapter 81: Simultaneous Launch, Head-to-Head Competition
Long-awaited, it finally arrives.
At 2:00 PM on the 21st, "Honkai Impact 3rd" finally updated.
At the same time, the Tencent-side "Girls' Expedition" also launched its public beta.
One can only say, Tencent is truly Tencent.
Even after such blatant plagiarism, there were still many players scrambling to download it.
It couldn't be helped; with so many people in the country, not everyone uses Weibo, nor does everyone scroll through Douyin.
But, at least 90% of the population uses Tencent's chat software.
With these two pieces of software, the one thing Tencent lacks the least is traffic.
Consequently, the download volume in the first hour after "Girls' Expedition" launched was still explosive.
Meanwhile, on Douyin, Bilibili, Douyu, and many other game streaming platforms, almost everyone was discussing these two games.
There were streamers for "Honkai Impact 3rd," and naturally, there were streamers for "Girls' Expedition."
At this moment, a Douyin game streamer named "Jie" (Fallen) decided to download both games with a critical mindset.
His fans all knew that this streamer primarily played single-player games.
Even when Honkai Impact 3rd was at its peak, he hadn't tried it.
The reason he downloaded these two games today was only because he was forced to by his fans.
It couldn't be helped; he was a streamer who spoiled his fans.
"Moderators, ban those who are arguing in the chat."
"I want to state one thing first: I am not a Damn Mihuyou fan, nor am I a Tencent fan, so I will view the pros and cons of both games from the perspective of a passerby."
"I won't belittle or elevate either game; I'll only share my personal opinions."
As he spoke, "Honkai Impact 3rd" prompted that the update was complete.
"Since 'Girls' Expedition' just launched, it still needs to download."
"And since I downloaded 'Honkai Impact 3rd' yesterday, let's experience this game first."
"I estimate 'Girls' Expedition' will be done in half an hour; we'll go try Tencent's new work then."
While talking, Jie had already successfully opened Honkai Impact 3rd and registered an account.
Like all players, when a beginner enters the game, the first thing that catches their eye is an animated short.
Immediately following that is the beginner tutorial.
"No wonder you all say Damn Mihuyou is an animation company. The quality of this short is truly high; if it were made into an anime, I would definitely watch it."
"The combat feedback is also perfect, the character modeling is flawless... the visuals are so exquisite too... Holy crap? Are you sure this is a mobile game?"
He hadn't even finished the beginner tutorial, and Honkai Impact 3rd had already given him such a huge surprise.
This was something he never expected.
"Although I'm not into the two-dimensional style, I really love this art style!"
Just as he was speaking, the beginner tutorial finally ended.
However, to Jie's surprise, the game screen went black.
This scene left many veteran players confused.
They remembered that after finishing the beginner tutorial, the game would enter free operation.
Why would it go black? Did something go wrong?
Before Jie could even curse, a very mature and capable female voice came through his headphones.
