In the history of Monkey Island games, to my knowledge, there is only one (1) way to die in the entire series, and that has been to wait ten minutes to solve an underwater puzzle that has like three steps on one screen. And that was the very first game only.

You die (as far as everyone is concerned) for a couple minutes in 3.
It counts because I love those games and will take any opportunity to talk about them.

Played and beat Live a Live. Fun game just wish skip was extended to fights too. A way to speed up fights and skip intro/endings would have saved so much time. Attack animations weren't super long but I didn't need to see them 100 times.

You can die a few ways in two but the game is presented as being narrated by Guybrush after the events have taken place, so it cuts back to him and he says "Of course, that's not what really happened"

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.

As someone who loves farming games and thinks the recent Direct could've used a few more, I am sad to say that Harvestella sucks. There is no social/friendship system, the farming seems like an afterthought, and the characters are totally bland. The music is good, though.

This is why we need a hundred farming games in each Direct. For every great one, there are a dozen mediocre releases.

Kinda necroposting because I just wrapped up the demo and did a forum search for Harvestella and this was the top hit but I liked it a lot. The start is definitely eh and I agree that the initial batch of named villagers you run into are bland, but the couple you pick up in the dungeon are pretty good. As for the writing on the whole, I'm not going to call it good, but I am at least intrigued by the world and what is happening. There is a social/friendship system of some kind because when I completed chapter 2 I got a pip in one of the characters closeness gauges, so that's probably the point where that system opens up. The farming does seem like kind of an afterthought at least for now, but I kinda liked that. After the first few days when I was free to do whatever and I had unlocked the dungeon, it was nice to be able to wrap up my farm stuff in a few hours and then gently caress off to the dungeon for the rest of the day.

It definitely seems like it's more a jrpg first than a farming sim, but it's hard to say that just going off of the first 2 chapters/15 days. I never unlocked fishing, or cooking, or either of the ranching things, or pet ownership and this is all stuff that's mentioned in the demo and is technically accessible. Definitely could have bought at least 1 of the ranching upgrades or the fishing manual but i opted to blow all my money on more seeds and combat upgrades.

Anyway, definitely going to pick it up, but probably not on the switch. It ran... fine but it definitely wasn't running at a consistent framerate and I am also reasonably sure it wasn't even aiming for 30fps most of the time.

Have you never played Stardew Valley? The characters have a surprising amount of depth to them and the farming is definitely integral to what you're doing and why you're there.

There's a setting on the switch to make it power on and off to match the tv. So the tv remote probably does that, if you already plan to have a controller as a separate device at that point.

This reminds me of one of the useless seeming features on the Wii U that I liked a lot in the first place I lived. I was renting a room from a friend for a short while and didn't have room to bring a big TV, so my Wii U was hooked up to the computer monitor. I really liked being able to turn on the Wii U with the gamepad then also switch my monitor from PC to Wii U without having to move or use any other controller. As soon as I was in a setting where I had my TV and monitor, this feature was never used again (Though, also, I think the my TV at that time didn't work with the gamepad anyway)

This reminds me of the Prince of Persia Sands of Time death screens of "no no no wait that's not what happened." What an interesting way he was telling the story! I then expertly killed 4 sand demons with the dagger of time and went to run on a wall, I accidently forgot to jump and ran face first into my wall and fell 50 feet to my death on a pit of spikes....... no wait that's not what happened, silly me!"

Honestly the thing that bugged me the most was how fast the crops grew - I never got the money to do so but I would've liked to just buy a ton of cucumber seeds (they don't need replanting) to avoid having to make the trek to the general store every day for more seeds.

I assume that he's telling the story with the aid of a slide projector, and then an embarrassing slide comes up in the rotation and he has to go, "wait, no, that didn't happen".

Either that or all the messing with the Sands of Time he's doing has hosed up his perception of time and he remembers each of those deaths even if they never happened, so occasionally he's gotta backtrack because he's going down a dead-end timeline with his story.
