Alright fired it up on steam and holy poo poo, after playing the switch version for so long its almost uncanny seeing the game run at a smooth 60.

Sivart13 posted:i don't know a lot about Rune Factory but one of the things that made me bounce off RF4 is it seemed all the romance options were 14yo anime babies Some of them are way too young, yes, but Dylas, Leon, and Arthur read at least young adult to me, and so do Dolce and Margaret on the ladies' side. Basically just stay away from Amber and Kiel. VVV Right also Forte. Forgot about her. I've only played as the lady so I'm not as familiar with who the marriageable ladies are.

Leon reads as middle-aged to me. He was a priest. Not just a priest, the head priest. Same sort of playful middle-aged as Shigure from Fruit's Basket to be fair, but clearly much older than the average. Forte is the head of the town guard and is stronger than the PC for the first half of the game. Seems pretty adult. She's socially inept, but it's not like goons are unfamiliar with socially awkward adults. Agreed that Amber and Kiel are yikes. Electric Phantasm posted:Is there a demo or anything?

God drat, I need to stress again how crazy it is to play RF5 at a smooth framerate. I just need to remember to go a little slower on the main quest until after the buddy battle festival. E:

Alternately go much harder on the main quest, beat the game and get to the postgame to get monsters that are even stronger.

Played RF5 on the Switch for about 3 hours before I couldn't deal with the framerate, how's it hold up on the Steam Deck? Am I dumb enough to buy the game again?

New portraits not sliding in at 2-3 fps after loading? Sacrilege! But yeah I got the PC port as well, the performance owns and is really smooth. Also it has the correct icons for playstation controllers!

From what I’ve seen your best bet is to set it to 40fps and medium settings and it should be perfectly smooth. You could probably do low and get 60 though if that’s your thing.

You'll need the catch power you get after beating the first dungeon to get them.  This lone pinetree on the east side of town can have oranges, grapes or apples, sometimes it'll even have all 3.

there's also two locations that have daily hidden items which are (usually) a random tree seed. You can see hidden items from day one by having a party member, otherwise there's eventually a badge to let you see them even solo

gucci, I saw one apple tree but the fruit was close enough to the ground to just grab it, I figured I needed a bow or something to shoot the higher apples/oranges. Didn't even think of using my grapple

Unpopular thing to say, but I think the game would benefit from having a drastically faster clock. Stamina regeneration is so easy, and the penalty for not sleeping is non-existent as far as I can tell. So everyday takes forever. That plus there's a lot of times I want to go fight monsters with my peeps, but they're stuck in a shop for hours.

If you have the Companion Crest equipped, you can force people to join your party even while they're working. Once they reach a certain heart level, they will join whenever without the crest (some still require it) and won't leave the party in the evening so you can keep them in your group forever until dismissed

Harvestella has a nonbinary option in the demo as well, but no idea if there's romance at all.

LLSix posted:How do you get the Harvestella demo? Just go to it's page on the eshop and it should give you an option to download the demo. I don't know if the demo is available on anything else if that's what you are asking. I'm pretty sure you can be trans too, the male, female, and non-binary options just seem to be "what pronouns would you like us to use?" because all the body type options are the same afterwards. I know I'm not playing as this dweeb with their dumb side ponytail.

Yeah you can be trans. Voice and body selection are seperate from pronouns. Though the body options are pretty androgynous in general.

I've only played the demo, and my own impression from that is it's more JRPG than farm sim. I think the combat for the 2 base Jobs you get at the beginning of the game don't feel that great either, though the later jobs do look more interesting. Off of the demo, your gameplay loop is basically just doing farming to get resources for food/bombs/repair kits just so you can progress through each of the story dungeons more.

brainwrinkle posted:Has anyone played Harvestella yet? I’m curious to hear first impressions. I picked it up and have started to play through it. I'm most of the way through Chapter 3, and here are my impressions: The game is more RPG than farm simulator. Crops are a means to an end; vegetable juice is a healing potion, cooked meals are your stamina recovery (stamina is used for almost all actions), buffs, and also do some health recovery (but you can't eat above 100 fullness, and they have an animation to consume where vegetable juice does not), and the farming aspect seems to primarily give you some money and access to more and better ingredients. There's a cooking sidequest where you make a bunch of different dishes and give them to the inns in various towns for one-time rewards. Between that and the money from quests, that seems to be the primary way to make money to upgrade the farm. There's also a system that unlocks as you go through the story where doing tasks on your farm gives you little achievements that unlock more powerful farming abilities and better maker recipes. Bottom line is that you do a lot of farming, but it's not very deep (there's no fertilizer, no crop levels, nothing like that) and is more of a means to an end. The combat is relatively meh, but the controls are extremely responsive. You can swap between 3 classes and each class has up to 3 abilities to use that are on a cooldown timer. There's a mechanic where enemies are weak to certain elements and attacks, so you ideally hit their weaknesses. There's no real customization (at least none that I've found). You can have 2 party members and they're generally competent enough. Really though, combat is about spending the farming resources (juice, cooked dishes) to kill enemies and bosses for better materials to make better stuff to farm with. There's a neat mechanic where you repair shortcuts to previous parts of the area, so over time you fix everything up and make it easier to backtrack and save progress from day to day. The quests can be fun, though a little repetitive, and the party members each have a 10 part quest that lets you get to know them better, so that's neat. NPCs that you help will send you letters in the mail to tell you how things are going and to alert you about follow-up quests, which is a nice touch. Overall, Stardew Valley is a much, much better farming game, but the combat in Harvestella is miles better, and Harvestella is a JRPG with the story of a JRPG and a narrative that you go through. Harvestella really doesn't hold up well against Rune Factory 4, or even Rune Factory 5. It's probably better than the first Rune Factory, but that's only because the first Rune Factory was pretty rough. Xenoblade 3 is a substantially better JRPG, though it largely lacks the farming elements. So if you're in the mood for a light JRPG with some light farming elements and resource management, this is the game for you. The story seems geared towards a younger audience, and while there's definitely some hosed up stuff that happens, the game doesn't really force you to engage with it or dwell on it. And for what it's worth, I'm enjoying the game. The resource management and time management, while basic, is fun and a small little puzzle for me to solve. The quests aren't bad, and some of the writing is quite fun. The main story has been fun so far, and the game does a really good job of making each area feel unique and interesting. The graphics for each area are very pretty, and while there's not really a friendship mechanic where you give gifts, you do get closer to people as you complete quests for them, which serves to really flesh out the NPCs and the lifestyles of the people in the towns.

I've kind of been thinking about picking up a new one of these games on the Switch, is there one that is regarded as just the absolute best, golden calf? I've put hundreds of hours into Stardew Valley in the past so I'm kind of averse to playing that one again. I tried Coral Island on Gamepass and IMO these types of games should not be released in early access. I don't want to play something that isn't even close to finished but I think I do want to play a farming game again.
