discussion Holiday Specials

[dfgsnfvbbnv]

The only time I like holiday specials is in games that are clearly going nowhere fast, and the special has content with a girl I like that won't be in the main game for a long time if ever.

I honestly don't know why these exist except that devs must enjoy making them for them to be included in so many games.

The only time it actually bothers me is when the release of actual updates is moving at a snail's pace.

Does anyone here hate them like me? Anytime I see a holiday update I get pissed. They are an excuse for the dev to take a break from the main game.
And because I know they were working on the shitty holiday crap I also know the main game is delayed.
Yes, I know there are a few exceptions to this but 90% is to reuse assets and ship a crap update.

yea I'd have to agree the only way I would be fine with one is if its a part of the regular update like if an update is gonna release around Xmas anyway so the devs add a little atmosphere like a sexy santa or elves costume

 

[DorianGreyEminence]

Agreed. Its a massive waste of time and energy for the dev and usually takes away from the story anyway.

Nah, bro, you gotta let the artist show off and do fun stuff outside the main plot. The trouble is not the presence of holiday content, the problem is the developing time some devs take while charging monthly fees to their playerbase. Even your complain is focused on the time taken on the "real" update.

Halloween, fun cosplays for the characters are great

 

[memowho]

yeah in games dont play them especially if not included in main game

None, always feel out of place and never fit the story...

 

[pearl]

Labor day, it's a good reminder to avn characters to unionize for better work conditions

 

[DarkBoar]

The Made-up holidays in fictional universes. Especially ones with strange, sexy rituals.

 

[TheHornerDude]

I see Halloween the most, but Christmas always seems the best

Christmas

 

[Windchill]

I can only recall Halloween, Christmas and Easter specials. A St Patrick's Day, independence day and Valentine's Day would be cool.
But to answer the question: Cinco de Mayo would be my favorite

 

[leproso04]

Halloween is the best!!!

 

[FoamBottle25]

Halloween cos you get to be scaroused

None, seasonal updates always suck and always grind the plot progress to a halt.
