@Heavyarms55 The QOl updates aren't available outside of Japan yet. Without them, it has the feel of a decent game that's just missed the mark in some areas. They will improve the gameplay a lot. They're supposed to be coming soon.
I just backed the 4th issue of NintyFresh. Great magazine. Murphy really keeps backers posted with updates. I'm sure he'll do right by people however this turns out.
I didn't get RF4 for the Switch as I put in hundreds of hours on my 3DS. But I am waiting very impatiently for this one, especially after experiencing some disappointment in PoOT.

Careful, son: once you go full Vinnie Barbarino there's no going back.
Hell, I have days I feel I need a nametag to remember who I am, but it wouldn't do any good because I'd just lose the damn thing. Or the cat would hide it then sit smirking at me, all smug and superior.
From one half-empty glasser to another: hang in there friend. You'll be ok-ish.
@Ryu_Niiyama "Also some of this feels like the hubris of the old. How many 12 year olds are wishing they could play old games? (Or realistically younger considering when some of us started playing games.)"
This feels like the pretensions of the young. A great game is a great game. Many kids start by playing old games ie Mario and Sonic.
It's got some problems but I'm enjoying it. The pluses outweigh the minuses, imho. Whilst I admire the work one guy has put into it, I just don't care for SDV. The art style puts me off.

Waiting for Raeger...always Raeger. Plus, he cooks!
Re: Talking Point: E3 Leaks Are Inevitable, But Do You Actually Want To Know?
I don't care one way or the other. As to leaks given/obtained illegally, that's the company's problem, not mine. There's nothing I can do about it.
I rarely sit thru reveals and treehouses but just catch the recaps.
Re: Rune Factory 5's Local Switch Release Arrives "Early" In 2022
Ah, well. Patience is a virtue. One I lack, but a virtue nonetheless.

Re: Grow: Song Of The Evertree Is A "Cosy" Life-Management Sim Headed To Switch
It's certainly gorgeous. I'll be keeping an eye on it.
Re: The Critically Acclaimed 'Alba: A Wildlife Adventure' Arrives Soon On Switch
It's open world! Why doesn't the article mention that it's BotW-ish?
Since it's very short, I'll get it for my granddaughter when it's on sale.

@NoxAeturnus
His opinion matters as much as anyone's posting here. Why wouldn't it?
Re: Soapbox: Pokémon Legends: Arceus' Release Date Worries Me, But Hopefully I'm Wrong
This is the first Pokemon game I've been excited for in a long time. I have hopes, but am keeping them in check.
Only time will tell.
Re: Dragon Quest Creator Teases Exciting Announcements For 35th Anniversary

Perhaps you've played so many generic ones that you don't recognise a great one.

Re: Kitaria Fables Gets Release Date And Physical Edition For Nintendo Switch
Looks good to me. Barring any real negatives, I will be getting it.
Re: Feature: From Famicom Disk System To Switch - The Evolution Of Nintendo's Miis
I'm an artist as in I used to make a living on commissioned pieces.
I have always thought Miis are fugly. I'm glad for those who like/love them but I just don't.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Dragon Quest Game?
I love all DQ games, especially V, VII and VIII.
But XI S is the goat. If I was stranded on a desert island with my Switch and electricity it's the only game I'd need.
Re: Random: Local Council Installs Plant Pots That Look Like Mario Warp Pipes, And Residents Aren't Happy
Those are really fugly.

Re: Sakuna: Of Rice And Ruin Edges Towards One Million Sales
It's a lovely game. I've gotten distracted by others but will get back to it.
Re: Rune Factory 5 Live Stream To Share New Info Ahead Of Next Week's Japanese Release
I didn't get RF4 for the Switch as I put in hundreds of hours on my 3DS. But I am waiting very impatiently for this one, especially after experiencing some disappointment in PoOT.
Re: Review: Before I Forget - A Poignant Portrayal Of Dementia
I'm glad these games exist to spread awareness and perhaps help people dealing with the situations.
For myself, I've had more than my share of heartache and loss so look to gaming for escapism.

This looks cute. I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Re: Feature: Zelda: Twilight Princess' Flipped World On Wii Made Me Go A Little Cucco
I never played the Wii version. I loved the GC one so much, though. As someone said, it and Windwaker made a great pair of games, yin and yang.
Having them on the Switch would be incredible.

Thanks, that was a good read. I'm going to give it a try.
Re: The Latest Story Of Seasons Patch Is Live, And We Have Details On The Next One, Too
Unfortunately if you start a new game your saved game files are erased. Looks like they took a cue from AC.

Re: Story Of Seasons: Pioneers Of Olive Town Has Sold Over 700k Worldwide
It's got some problems but I'm enjoying it. The pluses outweigh the minuses, imho. Whilst I admire the work one guy has put into it, I just don't care for SDV. The art style puts me off.
Re: Review: Harvest Moon: One World - A Poor Imitation Of A Once-Great Series
@kategray
So my innocuous remark about HMOW not needing all the patches that PoOT does got removed?
Why?
Re: Story Of Seasons: Pioneers Of Olive Town Is Getting Patched, A Lot
@KateGray
While that may be true, at least HMOW is playable without waiting months for updates and patches.
