Seasons and games

[Pandaprewmaster325]

Seasons whether its the cold winter or the allergy full spring have games that feel appealing and just right to play during these times a game can be more fitting to go through in winter than to say summer , another game can feel more adventurous making it more fitting to play during summer or spring , other games are best played during fall.

What games you associate with certain seasons?

I find WarCraft 3 reign of chaos to go well with summer due to the game title being well reign of chaos spanning the world of azeorth from the extreme cold northrend to the hot and rigid lands of kalimdor as chaotic events unfold left and right...

WarCraft 3 the frozen throne storywise I find very appealing in winter due to it being the aftermath of massive war the aftermath can be quite cold you know? Not to mention the main menu being just plain frozen...

Diablo 2 feels fitting to play in summer due it being a game fighting things from well....a hot place called hell

I find horror games to go better during the cold winter months , something about winter vibes makes these games better to play at those rainy and cloudy times

Of course games are no vegetables to be played only during certain time frames but weather outside does add to the experience whether you are under a warm blanket holding off waves of undead or protecting a giant tree in middle of a hot day wearing nothing but shorts and a tank top.

Adventure games are more outgoing and ignite a sense of exploring and are energetic giving off spring/summer vibes where you are spending more time outside , horror games are more about secluded places and less outgoing involving less optimistic vibes the more shiny seasons give off.




Note: by adventure games I mean RPG games.

I play a lot of graphic adventures during the winter and a lot of racing games during the summer because I associate both very strongly with those seasons... The calm and involved puzzle-solving on a frozen night, steaming coffee cup by my side; the quick and sunny speed of endless tracks in hot, summer days... It's a thing of beauty.

i associate the ace attorney and advance wars games with spring. i think this is mainly because whenever i got a game in either series, it was always springtime.

I always like playing games in the winter time, cause I don't have to deal with thunderstorms that might cut my power off.

 

[DunkeyKong]

Monster Hunter games, either spring, summer or autumn. For MHW Iceborne though, probably winter (or all in one really). Anyway, I've always loved this view in Monster Hunter World

I heavily associate Gray Matter (a point 'n click from 2010) with Autumn.

I think that while Sonic represents summer (especially with Sonic 1 and Sonic Adventure) Nights represents winter (especially with Christmas Nights).

Shenmue is the quintessential winter game.
RE4 always felt like a autumn game to me with how grey the village looks.
FFX with all the water and sand made me associate it with summer.

I always play Pokémon games around springtime. Not sure why, but it's become a sort of subconscious tradition, it seems.

 

[SolemnlyDoc]

Pokemon Sword/Shield in the spring.
Grand Theft Auto V in the summer.
Life is Strange in the fall.
Detroit Become Human and Watch_Dogs in the winter.

Oh yeah watch dogs has those cold vibes I remember playing it with my cousin the hacking mechanic was so cool.

XD I guess I gotta make gaming traditions thread actions that you always do at certain days games you play in certain time in the year be interesting to see what habits people developed by playing games.

Shenmue is the quintessential winter game.
RE4 always felt like a autumn game to me with how grey the village looks.
FFX with all the water and sand made me associate it with summer.

Final Fantasy is always a summer game.

I play a lot of graphic adventures during the winter and a lot of racing games during the summer because I associate both very strongly with those seasons... The calm and involved puzzle-solving on a frozen night, steaming coffee cup by my side; the quick and sunny speed of endless tracks in hot, summer days... It's a thing of beauty.

You won't be racing when its all fog and freezing so makes sense.
