Nah, I mean like a prepper simulator. Just you out in the middle of nowhere trying to survive.

Oh no, the ground froze before you could collect enough cow poo poo to fertilize your crops!

Oh no, you dug your poo poo hole too close to your well and it leached through the ground, you've got dysentery!

Oh no, you didn't collect enough bat poo poo from the caves to reload your ammo, a bear has eaten half your food!

A game where you play a lawyer that either works as a prosecutor for the cops or a defending lawyer for an accused cop. In each and every case the cops are clearly in the wrong so you need to invent new and inventive ways to bend, break and invent your own truth to convince the judge and jury that the cops were in the right.

At the end of every mission you have a scene where you drink yourself to sleep. The end of the game involved a new character defending the cop that you chose suicide by cop for.

You want UnReal World (no relation to the game engine), the iron age Finland survival simulation where you persistence-hunt moose and dream about building a cabin and sauna by a lake 30 km from the nearest human.

I played far too much of the Harvest Moon games when I was a kid, HM64 probably consumed the most hours. You can get to the mountain top before rebuilding the bridge by climbing the tree by the cave. And you can get the music box out of the field over and over again. Make Rick repair it and you can gift it.

Legend of the River King was fun too, i agree theres no good fishing games

Mostly. Toward the end, he got at least one other person on board, and other companies handle the port, but it's still pretty much a "talk to the one guy" game.


I never got a chance to play the 64 one, but I remember I had a Gameboy Color Harvest Moon, and I asked for a construction upgrade, so the guy visited the next morning, but a typhoon was due to hit that day, and afterward it bugged the Church because the church bars the door for the typhoon but because the construction guy visited it was now permanently closed, and I was very upset that I managed to get excommunicated and quit playing.

The SNES Harvest Moon didn't force you to sleep at the end of the night, so I spent a whole weekend on the first night just clearing the land, running to the mountain sauna to recover stamina, then resuming, and it was a very satisfying save when the whole farm was cleared and tilled and ready for growing on the second day.

Oh, and I think Magical Melody had the bug where you could cook Ruby's Spice and end up with another one, but it's an item that doesn't deplete when cooking, and sells for 1k monies, so instead of farming I spent a whole day just duplicating the spice and made so much money I didn't need to farm and I bought all the upgrades. I didn't feel the least bit of guilt because it was one of the "time is always ticking" iterations--even while cooking and menu surfing.

STORY OF SEASONS: Pioneers of Olive Town is the latest game from the makers of Harvest Moon (they lost the name in some business Thing and you can safely ignore the trash put out under that name) and it's pretty good minus somewhat limited English dialogue. However they patched that (and some other annoying stuff) so the game is probably worth playing now IMO

They didn’t. I played the game a month ago and every single time I talked to someone they just talked about whatever festival was coming up with the same language no matter who

Is this playable for a non-anime-liking English speaking player? I bought the Stardew Valley digital game for my Switch (which I never use) but would be open to a Harvest Moon game if it was good.

I mentioned earlier that Harvest Moon 64 is THE reason for my OCD. Well, remembering to check the weather each night obsessively before bed is THE reason.

Absolutely not. You will not get anything out of Harvest Moon that you won't get from Stardew Valley even better, unless you're just dying for all the characters to be even more 2-dimensional or want to start a family with a girl who looks like this, a literal child :

he literally quoted me talking about a specific modern game why are you going off about characters from some random ds harvest moon game? The new one is a fine change of pace if you've already played a bunch of Stardew or even if you just dislike Stardew's art style. I already mentioned it has bad dialogue so I agree w/ that but I think stfu otherwise

I just skimmed through some reviews and that's pretty much what they were saying. I think I'll try Stardew Valley again. I hate that I always look up strategies and find the best way to do things as opposed to just playing and finding how how to do things myself. I'm a perfectionist and it blows.

I also married Ralph. The seafood soup is just so easy to make!

I liked that game for about a month then got bored with it but it was pretty fun. I saw one farm tour someone did and it was super impressive, you can do some pretty cool customization and decoration.

The thing that got me was mining the stupid orichalcum ore that poo poo was taking forever and the greenhouse isn't even that worth it in this game with the seasonal growing places but dammit i don't want that eyesore on my farm anymore!! Maybe i will go back and try again. I think i had completed quite a bit of it. I also have a baby (Ralph jr) and i want him to grow up

Edit this is the farm tour

I'm really interested in this one game called Seirin Fate, i bought it on pc but i can't figure out the controls very well so maybe i will get it when it comes out on switch. It's basically stardew valley but you're also a witch.

Here's a fishing rpg that might be good i dunno this guy liked it

When I first tried Stardew Valley I was pretty skeptical that I'd like it. Around 90 minutes later I had my "ohhh I get it now" moment and never looked back. Enjoyed it way more when I just chilled and stopped worrying about people's daily schedules.

Stardew Valley is boring af, at least when I played Harvest Moon on SNES/N64/PS1 I was a child and the genre was novel now it's just so obviously based on tedious rear end busywork
