Guys.. be happy when they even do events!
To call this an 'event' Is like suggesting that me throwing orange glitter into the air and screaming 'Halloween' is an event.
The new map isn't great by any stretch of the imagination and the replayability is godawful.
and aside from the map, they didn't bring anything for people who didn't want to cough up money. So I hope everyone got their fill from that one run of the map, because That's all they were inclined to bring this year.
Sure bugfixes. But I find there's a distinct difference between 'Patch' and 'Event'.
You can patch anytime. If they were burning all this time working to fix those things...
Well frankly, I would've remarked: 'If it isn't rendering the game unplayable, don't fix it.'
It's like throwing a Halloween party and when everyone shows up you just barely decorated the house, and there's a vending machine in the corner charging you $4-8 dollars for the food and beverages.
"Why are we even here?" The guests cry.
"Well, I gave the house new decorations." Tripwire announces, dancing about as twenties drip from its pockets. "But instead of making food or things, I decided I'd fix some stuff and do that so you can PAY for the stuff you came to the party expecting!'
"Fixed some stuff?" The guests asked cautiously.
"Oh yes." tripwire motions to the windows. "I've made the windows clearer. Now people can tell what phase of the party we're in before they enter." Then Tripwire dances to do the door, still leaking enough money to buy a new flat screen. "And look! We put some WD-40 on the door!" THey bemusedly open and close the door to demonstrate that it no longer squeaks. "We optimized it so well!"
And so some of us begrudgingly wander over to start navigating Tripwire's newly decorated 'House' which is only good for a bout one pass-through, while the
rest of the guests proceed to stand next to the vending machines and tell us how this is a splendid idea. 'They gave us free food last time.' they remind you as you dump eight bucks to get the cola you wanted to drink and probably could've just had free, last year.
'That's great.' You remark. "But haven't they made a point of telling us before how many millions of sales they've made and how much of the 'purely cosmetic, you-don't-have-to-buy-it.' DLC there was, and how great it was so many people bought it?" You frown as you turn and slap tripwires hands out of your pockets. "So I really wish that for one Halloween event we could've just stayed traditional instead of Tripwire intentionally just trying to take my wallet from me."
) could drown out the fewer serious players and turn the game into a bloated mess the likes of Saints Row 4.
