Well this was a pleasant surprise

Emily best girl

Blew my expectations away.

My favorite part is just how many weird things are going in on top of all the pretty standard Farm Sim stuff. There are so many little mysteries in the game.

>>385425160

Yeah, it surprised me as well. Going into the mines, thinking "Oh, so this is just going to be just like FoMT's mines?" and then this guy comes here and "Oh yah, there's monsters lurking around these parts, don't cut yourself with this sword here". Feel like I barely scratched the surface.

I remember blowing weeks away playing Harvest Moon on my PS1 but now I just couldn't get into Stardew Valley at all. Send help.

It's a fun game. Haven't touched it in a year and been meaning to start it up again.

>>385425160
I've been wondering about things like the weird shrine in the back of the shop, is the shopkeepers family part of a cult or does the game just take place in a fantasy world where things like that are normal and you just don't notice right away because the alternative universe elements are subtle?

>>385424458
I love this game, played about 80 hours on my first playthrough last year and started recently again for 100% the game and checking some mods.
There are some simple UI mods that are useful especially when you just started, or you can easily change character portraits and dialogue if you like. Flowers near the bee hives lets them produce better honey btw

Try heading there on a sunday morning. You'll see that the old folks and some of the people there do some worship. Other days, the women show up in the hall there to do exercises, even ol' Marnie. There's lots of little events that happen every week if you look around on different days.

>>385426036
Harvest Moon games have always been "reality but with small supernatural bits" so I assume Stardew carries that over. I mean, fuck, you meet a goddamn wizard and weird nature spirit things.

Haven't put enough time into this game though. Also need to look up portrait mods since the baseline game ones are too crappy for the most part. Makes everyone look bland and boring.

>>385426036
the game is set in a somewhat fantasy world, with a little bit of magic and weird forest elfs and such

The girls're shit, you don't need help.

IMO if you like Harvest Moon for its farming mechanics you're going to love Stardew.

If you like Harvest Moons sense of comfort and map design you aren't going to like Stardew Valley.

I couldn't get over the really bad graphics and clunky UI. I kept misclicking on stuff. it was obviously designed for contards

Are there mods that change up the maps, like making the town and fields look different?
Or at least just some interesting looking custom farms?

Also something that changes combat up because the basegame combat gets really boring really fast.

>>385424458
needs more updates and a fuckable Jodi

I'm not sure how I feel about it.

I played it, I enjoyed it; but I feel I could have enjoyed it more and played it longer with only a few alterations.

Should have had (probably optional as I know my opinion in the genre isn't common) a far harsher difficulty, like Recettear level exposition where you get your legs broke if your turnip shekels don't pay off the mob.

There just isn't too much to the progression. Not enough stuff to do cosmetically and not that much point to expanding your money making capability past a certain point.

As you said in the OP I really liked how the farm being overgrown was handled and would've liked to clean up more stuff. Maybe put the community centre in its own zone and you can clear and decorate the exterior and watch the npcs interact with what you set up for one or two of the seasonal events or something?

Apart from that I feel that overall it's a victim of its own success. The developer clearly never needs to work another day in his life and clearly is avoiding doing so. Had the release been a bit more tame we may have seen an attempt to improve and add to the game more and more quickly following launch.

It's also hilarious as to how long it's taking them to make multiplayer, considering he did have a functional alpha a ways back, and it obviously wouldn't put him or chucklefuck in general back very much by throwing more developers at it until it's done.

But yeah everything was a bit too easy and done with. It's strongest when you're planting a variety of stuff for the bundles, actively upgrading your tools and having less of the day to do a secondary activity rather than everything being under a sprinkler.

Jodi should be marriageable by the way.

its quite fun for a while but the movement speed is too slow, the item menus are worse than in other games that have similar systems, and when you get to processing like kegs etc. it just makes you feel like youre playing factorio without conveyor belts and inserters

>>385426654
there are lots of custom farms and mods that change the environment and maps, dont know about combat though

>>385424715
Fpbp

As much as I enjoy this game, there is one issue I can't get passed. Its so obviously geared towards a laid back approach that there's no point in making use of all your farm. You can get game breaking amounts of money very easily, which is fine if you just want to amble around but frustrating if you want some form of progression. With nothing to spend out on, by the end of year two there was no reason for me to plant in year three bar the few bits of produce needed for the community center. Frustratingly this is when the game streamlined the farming with a greenhouse and better sprinklers, but without the need to use them they felt like padding. This could be solved with more things requiring large amounts of cash, or an incentive to growing crops other than financial gain and the small amount needed for the community center. Even just a vault to dump it in so I can see the cash in game, rather than as a number, would be an improvement.

The only way I enjoy playing it currently is restarting after a year or so.

I think that's more your problem. Don't remember having an issue with the UI at all when I played.

>Should have had (probably optional as I know my opinion in the genre isn't common) a far harsher difficulty, like Recettear level exposition where you get your legs broke if your turnip shekels don't pay off the mob.
Your right, that's not a popular opinion. The games are mostly supposed to be relaxing, but with an end goal. Even the older games tended to ignore what you did until the 3 year limit, and it was hard not to hit it.

I mostly just want better characters (these ones feel too subdued and "realistic") and better combat. Basically I want Rune Factory 5 on PC with stardew's farming mechanics.

>>385427023
Yeah I just want it as sort of a new game+ challenge mode. I find it to be more comfy when I have to treasure what little I do have. It also extends the beginning feeling.

Came with absolutely zero expectations and aside "animal product bundle" bullshit requirements, I had lots of fun with playing this game. I wouldn't mind if it was a bit bigger and more complex, but it was comfy and I literally was playing it for comfy and nothing else. I have no prior experience with Harvest Moon, thou, so I might be not the best judge here.

Also, fishing minigame, once some getting-used-to passes, is pretty fun

>>385430546
You need them - sadly - for the animal bundle in the community centre. Other than that, I find no point bothering, aside maybe having a bunch of chicken around just for the sake of it.

Honestly, the game is great if you play it for comfy factor, but if played "serious", it gets tedious instead

>supposed to be a comfy, easygoing game
>actually fairly stressful if you want to play it well
There's so much shit you have to remember all the time, because if you miss something, you have to wait up to two years for it to be available again (cooking recipes are a disaster). I filled that community center up once, then always picked the Joja option in new playthroughs. Making money is much more straightforward and way faster.

This game is about as "comfortable" as any game where you hang out on the title screen. If you want to make progress, you have to do it right. I like the game, but never understood how this was supposed to be one of its selling points.

>>385430984
agreed, there is no need to rush anything in this game, comfy is the way to play

Thing is - you don't have to to play it "well". You can't lose. You can't exactly die, too. There is no game over, so you can literally just tend a tiny garden and throw presents at NPCs.

People who turn their cellar into maximum efficiency production of starfruit wine are off their meds. The fuck for they even need those millions upon millions?

If you want to make progress, you can literally fuck around for decades in-game, never having bigger farmland than what OP has in his pic.

I had luck with the recipes, I missed 4 or 5 in the first year but every wednesday there is a re-run of the old shows, so you have a chance to get the recipes you missed before

For what purpose?

Literally, why? The game doesn't need it, doesn't warrant it, and wouldn't benefit mechanically at all from its inclusion? Shoehorning this into everything is casual cancer. I'm sure you're the type that keeps going 'gibe multiplayer NOW!!!1' whenever Subnautica has a patch or news post.

I watched some videos today of people turning their farms into gem production factories with beehives and crystalariums strewn all around the town and stupid shit like that and I really don't see the appeal in this.

>>385431246
Besides reruns, I feel like Gus should sell you the recipes you missed.

>>385431745
As far as I'm concerned, the multiplayer/co-op mode would literally break the game. Because one person would in early game farm, the other chop wood and the third went to mine.
Or all 4 would to to mine, conquering it in 3 days.

Also, It took me almost entire first year to figure out you can use a fucking elevator in the mine. When I entered the mine for the first time in 2nd week, it just diplayed the blurb of being out of order, so then I was always stuck at first 20 levels.
Congrats me, I guess.

You are unreasonably upset.

I expect multiplayer because the developer was explicitly working on it and has continued to promise it.

Whichever way it gets added(one shared farm or instanced serveral farms), I happen to like the game and I have a friend who likes the game. It's comfy to divide the day's tasks and to compare farms.

Multiplayer in Subnautica would make far less sense especially considering that it kills the atmosphere, which is the main thing it has going for it.

Which is my entire point. While I do understand why someone would like to put a worm machine or two in the right spots, the idea of building 10 large barns and turn them into wine factory is just retarded. Why would you do that?

The only of such things I can understand is planting trees in the greenhouse, so you can have fresh fruits all year round rather than rationing and putting there a beehive for semi-aesthetic factor. But that's it.

When I played it, my goal was primarily to get Grandpa's approval before the end of the second year. That meant pretty much maxing everything you could. And boy, it was a close one too.

And boy, I'll tell you something, the game plays with your expectations alot. For example, i think the girl I liked the least was that rich city snob Haley, but after a while she grew on me. And then you know the rest.

I didn't know there is a wiki, but not surprised, almost every game has one now. But basically I was working on the community center since Summer of year 1 and of course because of that, I didn't complete it until midway through year 2. I dunno. My farm just felt "complete" after a while. I had found you could purchase automatic sprinklers guaranteed on certain days, so my farm kinda took care of itself, allowing me to do other stuff, such as mine, fish, and go to the desert

I didn't get HALF of the bundles done until year 3 due to absolute zero knowledge and I knew using wikia would make the game much less fun, since I would know too much of stuff rather than learning it from experience.

For the most part - it was the right choice. The only thing I've cheated via wikia was eventually checking out what Jodie likes, since she was having neutral/hateful reaction toward almost anything.

I haven't even touched animals yet and I just started year 2. They just seem like a hassle.

You can find grids for the optimal money making for every single aspect of the game, to the point where it's "Here's how to place 5,000 casks and make the most money ever!" or "Here's the absolute best grid placement for everything!"
Fuck that noise.
Do what makes you happy. That's literally the whole point of the game, to find happiness. Except all your grandpa cares about is that you're making loadsa money, which is fucking stupid.

Nah, they're super easy. Just open the door in the morning, pet every single one, milk all the milkable ones, and then feed them. Or, make a pen, put grass in it, wait for the grass to grow, and then let them out into it every day.

Why doesn't he just build a door that goes to the shrine itself, instead of having the villagers go through his store and his house first every time.

...It's so they maybe buy something on their way in/out, isn't it? Just answered my own question.

>>385433835
But you can look up your bundles from the inventory once you have the community centre unlocked

Chickens and cows are actually more profitable than all crops except star fruit turned into wine and require almost no effort. Make sure you got tons of grass growing for them to feed on and all you need to do is pet them once a day and milk cows if they need milking.

Then all you do is take all the eggs/milk and throw it into the mayonnaise/cheese maker. If you do this and have the bonus to produced goods you can get 500 profit a day from one chicken and slightly less from cows. Which is better than any crop in the game except star fruit being turned into wine (which takes fucking ages and can be done at the same time if you just fill the greenhouse with star fruit).

People who play Stardew as if it was "serious" game about earning money just rub me the worst way possible.

I'm still waiting for the Switch version before I immerse myself in this game.

Looks like it will be comfy af in handheld mode.

>>385437609

Have you actually played the game anon?

You literally get a 3 year time limit before being evaluated and one of the criteria you're being evaluated on is how much money you earned. Getting the highest rating possible is about the only way of obtaining iridium ore except for going down the endless dungeon which is a fucking chore.

That and some of the newest stuff in the game costs tens of millions.

>>385437609
It ain't about it being serious or making a lot of money, simply that you trend towards doing so naturally. And the gameplay at the start of the game, deciding which five seeds you'll buy every couple of days, trying different things out is better gameplay than

>>385437882
you technically dont need to earn any money to get the machine, and getting enough money for the highest score isnt that hard even when you play the game laid back all time

>>385425552
So it's like rune factory?

>>385438335

You seriously haven't been to Skull Cavern yet? It has an infinite number of floors anon...

>>385438335
not him but the skull cavern in the desert has no end

>>385438335
Desert dungeon is endless.

>>385438497
its not as good but its still good.

Does we could use the bus?

>>385438863
Bus is how you get to the desert.

>>385438863
yes we does could use the bus after we does give money to the community center

>>385437882
You can also take your fucking time, enjoy the game and don't obsessively collect everything and earn every prize

Also, have YOU played it? Because by using a measle diamond on the shrine, you can get the fucking evaluation at ANY point.

>>385438534
And that wasn't even me, you stupid cunt, but then again, you seriously think 4chan is just one person.

>>385439453
>second reply
dude what?
I only see one stupid cunt right now

>>385439453
oh shit right, you can place a diamond at the shrine to get re evaluated at any time, which makes the first one pretty pointless

>tfw using a time slow mod so you can water and harvest all your crops, take a nature walk, spend the day fishing or mining, talking to all your friends and share a beer with your bro in the evening without worrying about wasting time
maximum comfy

>>385424458
I only liked HM for the dating sim elements. This doesn't have cute girls so there's literally no reason to play.

>>385440249
you can make them cute tho

>>385440197
This. I bought it for comfy Rune Factory feels, and nearly dropped it when I found out that AT MOST my day could consist of watering my crops, giving the waifu a gift, and 10 or so levels in the mine if I was lucky. I haven't gotten a good amount of iridium yet simply because the days are too short for me to get very far in SC. The day length needs to be at least doubled.

>>385437882
First, it's only 2 years. Second, because someone mentioned 3 million I was concerned because I'm barely scratching 1 million with less than a month to go to the evaluation. So I checked the wiki, which I had been avoiding because I didn't want to know what my score would be. But I see that money is a very small part of the evaluation, and you only need a million for the top score, which was closer what I figured since that's the top money achievement.

So, to summarize, the best way to play Stardew Valley is to complete bundles, make friends and get married, and achieve as many things as possible. Which was basically what I expected. The wizard buildings are just for people who already completed the game and who wanted more "content".

>>385440197
I feel like the game would run way too slowly with a mod like this. Though I wouldn't say no to a mod that simply stops time at 2 am, Harvest Moon style. At least on the second time through the game (time pressure in the mines was sort of fun the first time).

>>385424458
Fuck this western rip-off, RF5 when?

I kinda liked it in a way. You were so busy all the time. And now that I've hit year 3 and farm is basically running itself and now I have the chill times. Each to his own.

What did miss was a free teleport to back home that Rune Factory 4 has. Running back was such a pain.

>>385440978
there is one item you can craft and one you can buy later for lots of gold to get back to your farm immediately

>>385424458
Buy yourself a stable to get the horse as a permanent movement speed-up. If feel stressed later on remember that there is absolutely no time limit on anything so just take your fucking...also don't be discouraged by the early fishing and keep at it.

>>385431745
So how does the multiplayer work? Do you all live on the same farm?

>>385441480
I don't think we even know anything about how it will work yet.

10/10 game until I reached year 3 and got the statue from gramps. Then it got boring with nothing to aim for - no further family development and friendships achieved nothing further.

How's marriage mechanics?

I'm about ready to ask Maru__.

>>385442265
you give her the amulet and they will move in after 3 days, get a hobby room and will do random stuff like walk around the farm or town, make you brekkfast and sometimes even help with feeding and watering stuff

Did they give a timetable when this game is coming out for the Switch? I'll be interested to try it then?

>>385431715
>Except fishing

There are mods for it apparently if you play PC/Steam version.

I've been playing for 12 hours or so, really enjoy it
The start up music always cheers me up so much, just hearing the first few bars
I've been going pretty slowly, just messing around with all sorts of stuff though every time I go on the wikki to look up stuff I end up reading about loads of things waaay firther into the game and get confused

Trying to rig up some beehives at the moment Spend most of my spare time fishing, anyone got any tips? Are crab post worth it?

>>385431715
the fishing is kinda hard at the beginning, but it got really fun once you got the hang of it
and yes, Penny is indeed the best girl, on my first playthrough I actually went for every girl except for her but then realized they're all garbage and Penny is the dreamgirl

>>385443736
just take it slow man, enjoy the learning of the game and do the serious stuff in the second year or another game with a new farm
hilltop farm is best farm

Fuck Abigail, torturing a poor little critter like that and nobody seems to care, fuck this game

>>385443736
I only built a couple of crab pots for the bundle. The stuff you catch with them sells for about the same as what you could catch, there's not very many things to catch with them, and it's a hassle to tend to them when they give you junk half the time. But they're okay I guess if you put them next to your usual fishing spots. Fishing gets much easier as your skill goes up, because you get a bigger bar. If you're short on cash, the iridium rod isn't really necessary except for a small number of fish. Also, make Linus your friend if you like fishing.

>>385444486
you don't even need a single crab pot for the bundle, most stuff can be harvested at the beach or dropped from certain enemies in the mines

I loved to play it, but kinda lost motivation when I solved most of the problems, got the upgrades and was just farming for a few little things. I basically stopped when my onbly goals were half a year away and I didn't see any purpose anymore.

What are some good Harvest Moon or other games with a similar feeling? The comfyness, the engaging farming, making money, going to the mines and getting to know the town were just great, I'd love to start fresh.

>>385430360
Sandy is going to lewd the whole town

>>385432102
Thanks senpai.

>>385445149
I hope so

remember kids, most villagers give you cooking recipes when you get 3 or 7 friendship levels with them, higher quality stuff gives more friendship points if you gift them and birthdays give an 8 times boost for the present

>animals bar pigs are still shit
They just need to do three things to allow them to compete with crops. Fix the 6pm glitch, make them produce more at higher heart levels like pigs, and then make it so large products can be used in milk recipes like Lobster Bisque.
