I feel like there's enough time between AC releases that you should play each one. I'd imagine most people would have probably dropped the game before the newest one is out so once the itch comes back you have a new game to play.

For me the look of AC is charming and the music of SV is charming. I can’t really get invested in a low-fi SV style though so it doesn’t reach me emotionally.

In my games I like to murder God, so AC is not for me since in those games God is already dead. I also cannot stand games with talking animals, so Animal Crossing is a hard pass until they release a patch to change the animals into anime.

History Comes Inside! posted:AC words A lot of your complaints indicate you didn't put in the time or attention required to understand the game, because the houses are named on the map in SV. Again, totally fine that you don't like it, but you're misrepresenting it. AC also requires time and attention if you're going to remember which anthropomorphic animal is which and for me it felt like they have much less personality beyond coming and saying their catchphrase at you or occasionally asking you to their house where you... stand around doing nothing until you leave. The characters with the most personality are the permanent residents: Isabelle, Tom Nook, Capp'n. Everyone else is fairly cookie cutter imo. You learn the routines of the villagers in SV by playing the game, there's no need to follow everyone around. You're quite organically introduced to various mechanics as the game progresses and by interacting with them you'll travel around the town and figure out who is where are what times and what they enjoy as a result of that. There's almost no pressure on you to actually chase people down, but if you do make the effort then you're rewarded with interactions that add to your understanding of their character. I actually don't think the two games are all that different in many ways, just SV is more traditionally videogamey in the sense that it provides you with more mechanics to engage with and has more indicators of progression. AC is much more whimsical, and enjoying it depends on how much you find the daily tasks zen vs repetitive and dull. It sounds like the presence of any meter in a game, even when the actual implementation is as forgiving as in SV, distracts you from enjoying the tasks at hand.

Having a meter in any game stresses me out, even if it's easy. I have SV sitting on my Switch and one day I'll get over my hurdles and play it.

Not how I saw this happening. I only have interest in the game due to other goons love for it. I have never played it, so I was looking forward to giving it a shot on Switch. Not sure if I want to back another kickstarter.

Also the comparison doesn’t make sense anyway since Stardew is based around the older Harvest Moon games but modernized and filling a niche that the HM series has essentially abandoned. Animal Crossing is more like your casual gacha games, except without predatory microtransactions (unless Pocket Pool and Nook’s loving Island has them). Think of it as Miitopia without servers and replacing the Miis with disgusting talking animals. Stardew is about learning to kill God through old-fashioned 19th century capitalism, while Animal Crossing is about finding your place in a ruined world where God is already dead. Both are great games if you’ve denounced God in your life, and both have much to say about the horrors of circumcision if you look deeply in the edits I made in their respective Wikis.

Another way to put it, Stardew Valley is what happens if Trump gets a second term, while Animal Crossing is what happens if Trump gets a third term.

If you have a son and daughter, and some psycho put a gun to your head and told you which one to die, Stardew Valley would be like killing your son while Animal Crossing would be like killing your daughter. If you wanted to add nonbinary and genderfluid offspring into the equation, that’s where Dark Souls comes in.

Man, I booted up Mario Maker 2 last night and when looking at the "Ver 2.0.0", thought about what they are hopefully adding this year. Really want another style, for the night versions of themes to be independent of special effects, and for the option to automatically chain levels together. And a bookmarking site.

Anyway Stardew Valley is better because I can use mods to change the NPCs into slime girls.

I’d have to imagine SMB2 is a matter of “when” at this point. Kinda surprised they haven’t brought back MM1’s bookmarking yet, but it is Nintendo so I’m not really surprised. Worlds will probably never happen though because of idiocy.

Not sure if I want to back another kickstarter. It seems like Platinum really really wanted to get into self-publishing since according to Microsoft they had plans to buy them out but that deal fell through. I love Wonderful 101, but it's one of those super niche, seriously no one ever played this, type of games and I just feel like a Kickstarter won't make it. But who knows, I'm going to hope for the best.

The aesthetics remind me of Viewtiful Joe. Both of those are neat games, but ultimately not things I really enjoyed. The whole 101 thing makes me think of Pikmin, which is a much better idea in my mind.

WHY BONER NOW posted:Doesn't w101 use the wiiu's touch pad quite a bit? I thought the dual screen stuff was pretty instrumental to the game Not that much, actually. You could use it to draw the shapes for the morph you wanted to change into, but you could also draw the shape with the right thumbstick, which worked just fine. It felt kind of like doing inputs in a fighting game, I ended up liking it more than the touchscreen controls. There was also a couple segments where you would go inside a building, and the touchscreen would show your team on the inside while the TV would show the outside of the building, and you'd have to solve a puzzle by doing stuff inside the building that effected stuff on the outside, but the game already had a picture in picture mode to let you play on just the gamepad, so even if they don't want to change anything they've already got a solution in place. And it could always be Wonderful 102 or something, that would avoid the issue entirely.

Gripweed posted:They announced BotW2 last year and it's built off the bones of BotW, so they could easily have a faster than usual turnaround on it. And since they didn't put any dungeons in BotW and there has only been one Zelda w/ new dungeons since 2010, they probably have a lot of ideas to work with.

I've also got ideas for BotW2. * Give Link a gun, if Mario can have one why can't Link? * Add more polygons to Zelda's rear end * Cancel BotW2 and release Mother 3 instead. * Give Link the Blue Falcon so he can drive around Hyrule at incredibly high speeds. * Also give Link an Arwing and let Beetle be his wingman.

The aesthetics remind me of Viewtiful Joe. Both of those are neat games, but ultimately not things I really enjoyed. It's a deconstruction of character action games, where your character is a literal mob you have to contain and control. It takes systems from bayo and viewtiful Joe and makes you control them with okami style inputs on the wiiupad screen or fighting inputs on the stick. It should be a Frankenstein mess, but it works thanks to multi unite, where you can toss out attacks that auto complete on their own while calling up another that you control, which astral chain took and ran with. Where bayo is all about the maintaining the look of ease when killing enemies, w101 is all about the extra effort needed to keep people together.

The Bloop posted:Oh is this possible for games that don't show cloud saves? No you just start a system transfer with them both on the same WiFi network. It can even be your phones hotspot. That’s how I did mine, literally in the GameStop. They need to be on a WiFi network to talk to Nintendo, then they just transfer the data directly to each other after that, so it shouldn’t run up your data usage.

So it's not so reliant on perfect inputs? I'm just worried it gets as tough as some of those other games can get.

It’s good but it’s lower on the scale of Platinum games for me. I’ll probably skip it unless they add something substantial to the port.
