@RikkuPendragon I am loving the game so far though. Just gotta get a hang of the controls and I am good to go! I loved this game back when it first came out.
@DaniPooo You just gotta move the right analog stick left>right>left quickly. Treat it as one movement. I had a little bit of a hard time getting the hang of it but I had more trouble with the diagonal slashes. I am just not used to the traditional way of combat like in the other zelda games and BOTW.
@SwitchVogel I will start by saying that I do enjoy playing POOT and the faults of this game hasn't stopped me from playing it. I am glad that you enjoy playing it and that you haven't let others' opinions affect what you think about the game or how you enjoy this game. My problems with POOT is that I personally find the characters flat shallow(no depth to their personality and they're very cliché personalities, they seem like card board cut-outs compared to other characters from older titles or in SV), The makers were hindering my enjoyment of the game but ever since the 1.0.5 patch where they fixed them I feel the quality of the game has improved in that respect(although I feel they could still do a little more touch ups and polish on the makers), it bothers me that I can't store the makers and chests inside buildings so they're just an eyesore on my farm, the lag is still a hindrance even after the first patch, and the lack of festivals is disappointing. Especially the competitive ones. I miss the animal festivals where you can show off how well you have raised your livestock and compete with the other farmers, the egg hunt is a big disappointment as it is only a cutscene. I attended it once for the achievement and then I just don't plan on going to any future ones. The cutscene does absolutely nothing for you besides just be there. I also miss being able to contribute items and crops to festivals from your farm like you could in the harvest festival. I also think that they just need to evolve their characters by fleshing them out more, give them more in depth, unique, and interesting personalities and back stories. It's time to actually make spouses and children more useful around the farm in stead of just standing in their corners of shame.
@realityxaidan well it probably would give you a better experience of the game if you waited a little longer but now that the 1.0.5 patch is out, I find that the game is much better.
I know this review is a little old since there has been updates to improve the game but I will put my own review here. There has been a much better improvement to the makers and there is more dialogue to the characters but this game is still meh. I mean, I do enjoy the game but I still prefer the older HM and SOS titles more and Stardew Valley still has the crown. The characters faces still aren't that expressive and their dialogue(even the newly added ones) make them sound like a robot. Especially the spouse. I married Neil and he just sounds like this soulless robot repeating how much his life would be nothing without my character and how he didn't know love until he met my character and how hard it was to not be able to see my character at night. All this cheesy cliché crap while having almost no individuality of his own. He doesn't much either besides going back to windswept falls when he's not standing in a corner facing the wall like he's in a time out lol. I just wish the characters were more fleshed out and had real in depth personalities and stories instead of the typical, cliché background stories and personalities you see in every other game like SOS and HM. I think it's time for Xseed and Marvelous to evolve their characters and maybe even have the spouses and children actually help out on the farm instead of being a waste of space. It would be nice to see characters actually progress as you go through the game and story too. Like they could actually have Neil show progress through his studies and eventually become a Vet. Maybe see him play his guitar at certain times of the day or hanging out with the animals on the farm(once you're married). This game is also lacking in the competitive festival department. The Egg Hunt is a disappointment as it is only a cutscene. And they took out all the animal festivals where you can show off how well you took care of your livestock and actually compete with other farmers. I missed the harvest festival too and actually being able to contribute to festivals with items and crops from your farm. I also feel that the time in POOT goes by a little too fast because it's difficult to get a lot done in the little amount of time in the day that they give you. Pioneers of Olive Town had so much potential but it flopped for the most part. It goes to show that rushing a game's release date can only drag it through the mud.
