I watched a promo on it and it doesn't look so great at all..... it looks like that game that took over smartphone devices a few years ago that was kinda corny also.... Farmville. I thought the same thing. It now consumes my every thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you also enjoy Farmville? I did not enjoy farmville. I did not play it. But the social aspect of that game made it a competition. In Stardew it's you vs the clock, but it is very inviting. I don't really know how to describe it, I'm sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know how to describe it, I'm sorry LOL But really, I think you did enough: "It's you against the clock" and since I don't play except on weekends for a couple hours here and there, this doesn't seem like it's for me. Hope you continue to enjoy it though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywindO2 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 It's just a really well made game. It can be stressful if you play for maximum gain, but it also has self-paced progression that can make it rewarding and relaxing. Comparing it to Farmville is a really lazy comparison. Outside of the being on a farm, their isn't really any similarities. Farmville is a flash based farm simulator, Stardew is more like an RPG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of the same way. I've played the game and it is very fun and really well made, but I'm not sure how this consumes anyone. I have read how people have poured hundreds of hours into the game and how some have became addicted to it. Couldn't be me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'll own it or ever play it simply b/c it seems like the more you put into it, the more you get out of it and I'm a very casual player where I won't touch my console until late on a Friday or Saturday night until the wife goes to bed since I'm a night owl lol. Looking at the video of it though, it's definitely beyond me why it's such a big deal but to each their own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalamania Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Stardew Valley is the best game of this generation for me. It's a homage to the old school Harvest Moon games that consumed a lot of my childhood. It's a simple concept that goes surprisingly deep in game-play. I think the biggest thing about Stardew, for me at least, is the constant feeling of progression. You're always working towards something - whether it be working to prepare for the new season, working to conquer the cave, working on your crops/animals/farm, etc. It's also very relaxing to play and I find it to be one of the best games to sit down, relax and drink a few beers. JMO, obviously - it's not for everyone and I have a few friends who also didn't get super into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get past a gate after killing a corrupt robot. Nah. That was at the beginning of the game. You can't fight a stormbird that soon. There are only like 4 or five in the game and three of them were quest related. Edited January 4, 2018 by Supersuavesky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That quest wasn't too late. I know there's another one up north towards the end but I fought one well before that point. I remember b/c of how insanely difficult it was. EDIT: Yeah, he you go: http://horizonzerodawn.wikia.com/wiki/Deadliest_Game This side quest is when you get introduced to the Stormbird and it's extremely difficult self. The Hunter's Lodge quest are mostly after you hit Meridia though. There are a few early in the opening area but for the most part it opens up when you hit the city. And in hindsight I think he was talking about the Glinthawks.... Which would also be after the opening act but not very far in to the game.

Didn’t get much past that as everything killed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Question. If I were to buy a digital game for my Nintendo switch at someone else's house to use their wifi to download it, would I still be able to play the game at home without wifi? Just wanna be clear cause if I pulled that with my ps4 I'd be SOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 When y'all say you vs the clock in stardew, does that mean you only have x amount of time to complete the game or you only have x amount of time to get in your daily activities or whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah seems like it'd be odd to not let you do that or else the whole portable aspect becomes a little pointless. But I'm not gonna get burned buying a game I can't play just in case lol. I'm sure someone on here that plays on trains or breaks at work can answer for me for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
