Despite what /v/ will say, its a comfy simulator. YOu buy it expecting Harvest Moon and you get Harvest Moon. Rune Factory is probably better but it looks like ass by comparison.

sweet sweet escapism
this game is amazing
>the music
>the comfy
also i had goosebumps when i went on the first date with my girl
felt really amazing im so glad i got this game

>>34996088
Yeah, but don't feel guilty about it. A life outdoors on land you own with community and fishing and raising chickens and fresh air and sunlight is indeed better than your life, and better than most people's lives, which are spent waking up early and commuting and sitting in front of a screen blasting blue light in their eyes and chugging caffeine to help them power through the drudgery and rushed fast food lunches and the commute home and heating up dinner and doing the dishes and zoning in front of another exciting new TV show that blares blue light in their faces that helps them forget how repetitive and hollow the daily grind is and then finally going to sleep only to do it again and again and again for decades and decades all the while knowing this modern life is a man-made abomination and surely there must be a better way to live.

Who did you guys marry? I wish I could meet a girl like penny irl

>waking up early.
When will you faggots learn you don't need any more than a couple hours of sleep a day as long as you do it efficiently, polyphasic sleeping changed my life.

>>34996271
I married best girl, obviously.

>>34996271
i went for penny too
she just seemed so sweet and it felt so good making her happy

>>34996279
You're right, the soulless hellscape of specialized labor that has gripped the modern world since the industrial revolution would be much more natural and fulfilling if everyone slept less.

>>34996271
Had a real life penny

>trailer trash
>alcoholic, abusive mom
>wanted to be a cousin
>very hard working

Was perfect desu
I didn't want to be in a monogamous relationship though so I broke up with her and I'm PRETTY sure she's never gonna have a stable long term relationship now

>>34996271
I went with the blond girl. Forget her name, but she is the one who takes pictures

>>34996404
>wanted haley too
>flower dance festival
>ask her to dance
>"ew no"
FUCKING ROASTIES

>>34996346
Over sleeping is not good for you, it makes you lazy, I sleep 6 times a day 20 minute naps.

>>34996404
She's a literal stacy wtf

>>34996537
Yeah I know she is. I don't know why I am attracted to her character the most. Probably the blind here desu

>>34996281
felt like this at the start too
i came to the conclusion that i cant fix my reallife anymore so it doesnt matter if i waste my time building up a virtual life
also it makes me feel good

>>34996322

>ex-bf drama

DROPPED

>>34996566
Wow, one hell of an autocorrect. I meant to type "blond hair desu". I'm what the duck happened there

>>34996593
>>ex-bf drama
Wtf, what game were you playing? I didn't even notice anything about an ex-boyfriend.

I've been debating buying this game, is it worth it?

>>34996785

wasnt her story about her moving from the city and getting away from her ex? some of her events are her ex calling her and arguing.

>>34996088
Fucking sjw simulator.

People play this shit only because there are no better alternatives on the market.

>cast is literally one Stacey, one Used-up good, one Edgy, one Plain Boring, one Black Independent woman...
Fuck this shit.

>>34997009
got it for christmas
im really enjoying it
you can do
>comfy farming
>exploring in the mines
>have a social life
>get a virtual wife
>just enjoy the music
was really worth it for me but i can see that it can get tideous or boring for some people
basically get it if you want a relaxed game

>>34997081
there is more to the game than just the girls
you could go gay for example
or just ignore the romance stuff

>>34997009

yea its worth it if you like harvest moon at all. after 40 or so hours you might get bored, that $15 for 40+ good hours is a solid deal.

Anyone else play this game? I feel robots would love it. Especially actually autistic people. Very comfy just setting up and connecting towns, cities, industries together with railroads or buses.

>>34997050
I just checked and you're right.

I picked her my fist time 100% completing the game. So, I just forgot about it.

>>34996088
This is kind of a depressing thread

Real life is so far removed from what it's supposed to be like so we just simulate it on a video game

I put about 100 hours into Stardew Valley. Stopped playing once I 100% the game, including Fector's Challenge.

>>34997248
You know, the game even makes a point of this. You literally leave your desk job and the stresses of everyday life to live a comfy life on a farm

>>34997248
This thought has been an obsession of mine recently, I'm considering making a documentary about it, not sure if it'd be worth the effort though.

>>34997207
More into rollercoaster tycoon, but this was fun. I played the original TT in the mid 90s when I should have been getting ready for college or getting a job.

>>34997221

The only reason I remember is because I started cheating on Penny. I'm a terrible person.

>>34997291
isnt it weird how many movies, books,games and art in general criticized modern life and still nothing changed?
is everyone just stuck in a cycle

>>34997291
I want to play a Harvest moon style game where you actually work an office job or something. That would be fun.

>>34997364
how would that be fun

>>34997364

Harvest Memo

>>34997364
I actually sided with Jojo mart the first time, and it made the town go to total shit.

>>34997433
>Siding with the corporation that you just left
Why would you do this?

The instant I first went into jojo mart was when I decided not to go with them. That place is depressing as hell.

>>34997386
Almost anything can be fun if you take out real life risk out of the equation. You can dick around and try to see how far you can push your boss without getting fired.

>>34997509
Idk, I was convinced that if I sided with them they would be more competitive on price than Pierre. Was trying to get cheaper seeds

>>34997542
They do stock cheaper sunflower seeds, but otherwise they're literally Monsanto, even if they did save my life in the mines that one time.

>>34997542
>Was trying to get cheaper seeds
Ok, I can understand that. Those seeds are a killer.

>>34997563
Yeah, that was nice of them too
>>34997585
I was also convinced that Pierre was shitting in the fertilizer he was selling, and that other shady stuff was happening, so I avoided him

>>34996088
i tried it, played for like 4 hours but it got really repetitive so i stopped.
am missing something? is the point the game takes off is beyond 4 hours of game play?

I fucking adore Stardew Valley. Have nearly 200 hours in it.

Shane best girl btw

>>34997821
>am missing something?
It's literally a farming/life sim. Most people that play either go for marriage or 100% completion.
>is the point the game takes off is beyond 4 hours of game play?
It's an escapism game. Often times they are very repetitive. Personally I enjoyed doing the same thing hundreds of times, but I know many who just can't seem to get into that repetitive aspect.

It tends to speed up once you get into fall/winter, which is around 20 hours into the game.

>>34998036
Jesus Christ that house is autistic. Let me guess, you downloaded the katana mod?

>>34998036
Shane is an asshole. Literally the worst guy in the game.

I downloaded the chainsaw mod, the zombie cow mod, the skeleton horse mod and clearly the black kitchen and halloween walls/floors mod.

>>34998062
He opens up after you are in a good relationship and is easily the most relatable character in the game (for me, at least). Pic related.

>played the n64 harvest moon as a kid
>downloaded the emulator and rom for it
>tending to my farm and animals, disregarding roasties and acquiring gold coins

feels good man

>>34998387
>Not playing HM: FoMT
wtf are you doing?

>Is it because the main characters life is better than mine?

That's exactly what it is. It's why entertainment/escapism is always a thriving thing and why a lot of our technology gets dedicated to advancing the methods. Most of our lives suck and we just want to live in something better. Especially if it's only for a few hours after wagecucking for nine.

>>34998593
I went with Ann in that one. How about you?

>>34996088

>MC leaves his shitty unfulfilling life to begin a new life as a simple but honest and hardworking farmer, meets a local cutie and ends up with a nice family, a nice house, lots of friends who love him, and financial security

I envy this fictional farmer a little too much.

>>34998593
because the original is the best one pleb reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

>>34998635
N64 isn't the original, you double-pleb.

>>34998797
nobody cares about the shitty super nintendo game, it starts and ends with harvest moon 64.

>>34998617
Harvest Goddess.

I've 100% every HM game so far.

>>34998845
So you're a child whose first console was an N64 and you absorbed all the "us 90s kids" memes and mistakenly believe that it was the pinnacle of gaming. Got it.

>>34998982
I'm almost 30 and I'm just saying that harvest moon 64 is superior to all the others and I've played them all, it's simplicity and mechanics are perfect, faggot.

>>34999252
>I'm almost 30
Didn't stop you from being a faggot I see.

>>34996271
Penny is the absolute best gf. She's a super qt. Kindof reminds me of my last gf.
