Seasꩵonal events in video games are a grea൩t way to change the game formula every now and then. Animal Crossing's first season event Bunny day ended about two weeks ago and the only thing I have left are the nightmares brought on by anthropomorphic horror of Zi🎃pper T. Bunny. Zipper meant well - they just wanted to spice up island life by forcibly injecting colorful eggs into every aspect of my adventures. But when I tried to play...
Looking for iron: eggs.
Fishing for the daily catch: eggs.
Shooting foreign objec𒉰ts floatꦚing in the sky: eggs.
Animal Crossing’s first seasonal event for✨got what made t♊he game magical - the player can have fun doing whatever they want. If Animal Crossing was a Dungeons & Dragons session, Zipper would be a well-meaning DM trying to railroad the party in a quest that THEY think is best for the group. A good seasonal event is something that complements the existing gameplay and rewards your participation if you choose to participate. They spice up gameplay and help stop players from hitting the proverbial “rut.” Timmy and Tommy needed thirty iron to upgrade their shop, not 25 iron, five eggs, and an explanation on why they need to wait a little longer because I was ♍short.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Overwatch's Summer Ga🌜mes are a great example of a successful seasonal event. Blizzard creates amazing character skins that fit the theme of the event which players can acquire. In the arcade mode, players can choose to play the amazing Lucioball and possibly earn lootboxes a bit quicker compared to regular match play. Lucioball is successful because it 🥀uses a familiar mechanic (Lucio’s beloved “boop”) and has participants play a soccer match. If Overwatch followed Bunny Day rules, the only skins would be the seasonal ones ✨and there would be mandatory Lucioball matches. Some folks would be ok with this, but not everybody.
With the completion of it's follow up event, Nature Day, I am🍷 optimistic that Nintendo has learned its lesson. Leif, the clown-like sloth, was far more likable than the terrifying Zipper. Leif also brℱought a useful new mechanic: shrubs. Players were also awarded extra miles for completing events - but they did not get in the way of existing play.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been out for over a mon🎃th and continues to be a treat every day. In a situation where many of us are unable to leave our homes, it’s an amazing respite. It i꧅s also amazing because there is a terrific sense of community budding from a love of the game. Now, if we could just fix the turnip price shenanigans, that would make up for Zipper T. Bunny.
