Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 3rd)

@dugan Yonder gave strange first impressions. I thought I was getting involved in a Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley experience, but I was quite wrong! I don't see me 100%ing the game. Looking for some lost groffles taxed me, and unless I run across them accidentially, they will remain lost!

@Donutsavant Yonder is definitely weird. And yes, more range on the umbrella would be great. A Halloween town sounds super cool. I only just discovered that you can warp between points!

Re: Capcom Has "No Plans" Right Now To Bring The Original Monster Hunter Stories To Switch

I started playing Monster Hunter Stories in September, and I'm still playing it, at around 70 hours in. It rivals Fantasy Life as my most favorite 3DS game ever. There is always something to do, new gear to earn and upgrade, new monsters to slay or befriend. The gene system is clever, with new abilities monsters earn by absorbing the genes of other monsters, even those of dissimilar elements. You want to create a fire dragon that can breathe fire, throw balls of ice, has an electric breath attack, poison tail, and a sandstorm attack? Have at it!

Re: A New Paid Membership Service Is Being Added To Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

I've picked Pocket Camp back up after having not played it for a year or so. I've been playing it every day for a month or so, and I recently bought the Anniversary Pack for $7.99. It's the first money I've spent on the game in two years of play. I feel okay about it. I've spent a ton of time in the game.

The new offerings — well, I'll have to see if they interest me. I'm not opposed to buying content that seems engaging. But like many have said, my money is mostly on the upcoming Animal Crossing in March. That will likely be a day one.
