fyallm posted:I have not. What are they? Farming games. You own a farm, plant crops, chop trees, build fences, etc. Sell crops for profit, upgrade your house and tools to clear more land. Stardew also has a deep dungeon for mining and fighting for monster materials, and a big town full of people to build friendships with. It's basically ":3, The Game"

The best thing about Stardew is that it's a full, premium game, and there's zero P2W/F2P/IAP involved. I kind of like the mobile version better than the PC version, but I also don't care about mods.

I know the missus prefers the PC version because of the mods (particularly the time manipulation, tractor and label mods), but every time she tries to play it it takes an hour or two of updating windows, steam, SMAPI and the various mods by which time she's gotten bored and started playing Borderlands 2 on the PS4.

Len posted:Playing it on Switch right now and fishing was the first skill I got to rank 5. I know you're being hyperbolic but it isn't I don't get why people have a problem with fishing between versions; the mechanic is based on a digital on/off state, it's not using any sort of weird control. Clicking the mouse, pressing a key on a keyboard, tapping the screen, and hitting a controller button are essentially the same action. This is assuming that there isn't some sort of janky code in a certain version that complicates the whole thing. That aside, the fishing is pretty much identical.

The way the bar sinks and rises with inertia while the fish dart around like maniacs is tricky to get your head around, and for me (and alot of others) it gets frustrating very quickly.

Yeah, they may have adressed it in a patch, but early on, once you lost inertia on the PS4, your icon would bury itself at the bottom of the bar and by the time you got it going again, the fish was gone

I think I'm done with Archero. I got to world 5 and just get obliterated in a few hits and it takes me ages to kill anything. I've upgraded my gear and pets as much as I can (purple weapon, blue everything else) and it is just feeling too grindy now. Without the perfect RNG of skill rolls right from the beginning, I feel that it is too much to overcome. It is a shame too, I was really enjoying the game.

Yeah I started to see the way it was going around world 3 and dropped it. It was definitely fun at the beginning but it needs some sort of dodge mechanic to really shine. Some of the projectiles are too bullshit to deal with and there's a LOT going on at a time.

Martha Stewart Undying posted:I like how in Dawn of Isles you can give your character a Hitler mustache, but you can't make them dark-skinned. I ended up uninstalling Dawn of Isles. I really wanted to like it, but there's several major problems and I think ultimately it would have been better on Switch. The experience system destroys the leveling and leaves the player with no idea what's happening. I got almost to level 50 in the first zone completely by accident, just by exploring and trying different systems. There are too many different systems - gathering, building, crafting, research, pets, attributes, weapons, gear, tribes, etc which would be great on console/PC but they come at you too fast and without giving you a chance to try them. But if you try them, they give so much experience you outlevel the next system! I didn't have the chance to figure out the combat system or new skills in general since I vastly outleveled the skill system once I unlocked it. There's something to be said for slowing things down so your players can internalize your systems. The zones are way too big for a mobile device but also have too many quests and players concentrated in small areas. Did they want me to explore? I couldn't see anything with the sides and bottom of the screen taken up by the UI. Navigation is such a pain on a Pixel 3 screen that I ended up using auto-navigate. A lot of quests are some variation of go here, talk to this person, go back to where you just were by teleporting, go back to the second place again by teleporting, and finish by teleporting back to the first person. Why? Overall I think it has decent bones but is just way too big for its britches.

I ultimately quit dawn of isle because the combat was so simple. I was so annoyed to find that you can only use 3 of your 6 abilities during combat. It ended with ruining all my syngeries. I wanted my spell dancer to make a pool of water around enemies and shock them. However then I couldn't use my shield or heavy attack ability.

Why waste a perfectly good reinforcement reward on a random* or regular dispersement? I couldn't tell you how many times I've gotten repeat questions for basic info, but I'm truthful, they get consistent answers out of me, and they keep them coming. Also, there are times when I've been near a place that's come up on the list of possible choices, but I don't think I've ever faked an answer there. They still pay around 10-20 cents each for those. Couple years ago, I was barely getting surveys, but then I moved 9 hours east, and I've been getting at least one per week since. So, all you really need to do in order to guarantee survey bucks is to pick up your life and your family and make a considerable life change by moving a fair bit away from where you are now. It's not that hard

I'm playing it on android and fishing was at first impossible, but I realized after some research you really shouldn't even try to and fish the difficult fish (I think it's the "darters" in the fish wiki) until you get the 3rd tier rod and lures. There's a lure that cuts bar loss substantially and should be the only one you really use. It's a bit annoying to have to level fishing that much, but I find it's actually quite easy to burn excess stamina at the end of the day fishing garbage from your farm pond. And of course, always tap... never hold down the button.

I've just started on a pixel 3 which I assume is almost the same size at the pixel 2 and it's acceptable, but you definitely need to hit the pause button often just to scroll around the screen and keep tabs on everything. You can zoom out to see it all fairly easily but it gets pretty jagged and impossible to read once you have over the full table in view.

Because of this I'm pretty sure I've been penalised for 'lying' and lost surveys for a while for being careful and saying no to places I merely walked past but didn't go into (in case it didn't ask the follow up questions), but the GPS knew I was there (and probably even stopped outside for a few seconds to catch a pokemon). I feel like I'm not explaining this right and probably just getting stuck on the linguistic precision of the word 'visited.' Bobby Deluxe fucked around with this message at 09:15 on Jun 25, 2019 |

I don't think I've ever had a follow up question where it asks if I went in or not, it's always whether I paid for something or left without paying. If I was near a store but it wasn't the one I was actually at I usually just say that no I didn't go there. I think the questions I struggle most with are owning/renting and household income. A few years ago I moved back in with my parents (lame, I know) who do in fact own the house, and I pay no rent. Now technically it's not me who owns the house but I also don't pay rent so I believe I've just said I own the house. Then there's household income, in which for tax purposes I would not fit under that definition but while living here I've included what I estimate my parents' income is.  Oh well, still get location surveys when I go somewhere and still get the "have you heard of this niche and possibly not real thing" surveys so I think I'm doing okay.

The hard part is learning to deal with the reapers. Scythes hit in both directions, so it requires a change in strategy. I found that abusing the timing with Invicibility helps a ton. Also, use the boomerang and do not take ricochet. One major thing is that the turrets do not have collision damage. if you have diagonal/side, you can stand on top of them and it down in a second. Zone 6 was probably the most fun I've had in the game. Zone 7 is a bitch.

me your dad posted:With Stardew Valley, do I have to sleep to save my game? I've quit the game time now during/after the Fall festival and both times when I've restarted my game I find my character waking up that same day. It's turned into Groundhog's Day: The Game. (EDIT: Yes, in short, sleeping saves your game) What kind of phone do you have, and how much RAM? I don't actually know if that affects it, but how it works for me and my Samsung S8 is that, unless I just woke up in-game, I can switch out of the app, and either by using other things before going back to SV, or swiping it away completely from my recently-used app list (or whatever that's called), it asks if I want to continue from where I left off when I load it back up again, right after the Concerned Ape splash screen, and just as the mountains come into view. If I did just wake up in game before quitting out, there's no temporary save or 'save state' made, and it just starts me at the beginning of the day when I had left. It's like you have to do something significant, or a certain amount of time has to have passed before a save state is made. I've also gone into the controller menu to do a manual backup of my save from time to time, as I'm paranoid about losing all of my progress. There ARE times when I'll go back into the game, a lot of things will be full-on blacked out (as if it's glitched, which it seems to be at that point), it puts me back to sometime in Spring Year 1, and my money is drained down to 500. Like it actually animates my previous total quickly depleting. At that point, I switch out, remove it from my recently played, and start again. Sometimes, I'll even do a quick device cleanup (I don't know if that's just a Samsung thing, or if it's part of Pie OS or something?) to make sure everything is cleared out of my RAM, and everything is fine after that.
