It's you have to harvest all the 29 00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:59,200 cheese on it. I feel like they have a similar 30 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,400 Vibe. It came out about three years 31 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:03,800 ago. It started coming out as Early 32 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,200 Access game where people can actually keep talking about no, 33 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,600 this is stardew Valley back to the store. 34 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,400 Yeah, and it was it was it was filling a need because there 35 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,800 hasn't been a new Harvest Moon game in recent years. 36 00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:20,500 And so you had me saying this whatever is the new Harvest Moon 37 00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:26,500 game and I think The concern a by forget what his name is Eric 38 00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:30,400 Brown Eric Barone. Yeah, he really liked the game 39 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,300 Harvest Moon. And so he started creating a 40 00:02:32,300 --> 00:02:38,000 game of his own which sort of had a good mix of casual farming 41 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,400 style and kind of a mix of dating simulator like a 42 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,700 relationship building game where you know, it's kind of like a 43 00:02:46,708 --> 00:02:50,200 slice-of-life game you're going around doing your thing making 44 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,600 money upgrading your farm. Has like a lot of elements that 45 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,900 this Harvest Moon game has but at the same time it also adds 46 00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:03,600 like a nice little relationship thing at the yeah. 47 00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:07,000 Were you a harvest Munna? I was not a harvest moon her I 48 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,100 couldn't get into it for some reason mainly because I thought 49 00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:13,500 like the farming and the game was a little bit boring and I 50 00:03:13,508 --> 00:03:17,000 start filming is quite boring.

I mean, I'm day 11 Which became 170 00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:42,400 it doesn't sound like that much but you know, I've spent nearly 171 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,700 two hours in this game. I still don't know how to farm. 172 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,100 I've made some parsnips put them in a box and magically got money 173 00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:50,500 for them. The magic money-making box. 174 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,500 I found a mix seeds from somewhere once I've planted 175 00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:56,100 them. But now I'm like, well, you 176 00:09:56,100 --> 00:09:59,200 didn't buy more seeds. I can buy seeds you can buy sit. 177 00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:01,700 Yeah, so that's the kind of thing like, yeah, it doesn't 178 00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:03,800 really walk you or give you enough tutorial. 179 00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:06,600 They actually say go to would would make sense. 180 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,000 Yeah.

The beginning Quest is like, oh 184 00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:22,900 yeah plant these parsnips need seeds and then sell them pretty 185 00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:23,600 good. Right? 186 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,300 I think it takes like four days for your parsnips to actually 187 00:10:26,300 --> 00:10:30,500 grow out and then you sell it and then the next goal is like 188 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,500 build a coupe. Yes, right. 189 00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:38,400 What like hey how what's right and you need 4000 gold. 190 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,600 To build a coupe. Yeah. 191 00:10:40,700 --> 00:10:42,700 Well, even before that see upgrade your backpack. 192 00:10:42,700 --> 00:10:43,900 I found you can upgrade a backpack. 193 00:10:43,900 --> 00:10:46,700 I need 2,000 gold, right? What kind of hipster ass 194 00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:49,500 Backpackers? Well, you should know if y'all 195 00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:53,000 robbing. It's a limited edition stardew 196 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,400 Valley fjällräven, but even in peers and I don't know how to 197 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,800 buy seeds. So here is where I come at the 198 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,100 first issue. Everything is done through 199 00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:07,500 touching small little square grids. 200 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,900 On the interface. Oh, I see popcorn flower seed 201 00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:14,600 potato seeds and I finally found out of Pisces I got right and 202 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,400 there's a difference between talking to a person in a shop 203 00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:21,300 versus buying something from the shop, right Jesus stand in one 204 00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:23,300 place to talk. Yeah, there's another to buy 205 00:11:23,300 --> 00:11:28,800 right and it's rigid life. I would approve of yeah, I mean, 206 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,400 do you barely do you really go up really close to a personal 207 00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:34,500 attack to them? I suddenly pixel mix of them and 208 00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:40,200 say hello. Hello, Sam I have We do now you 209 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,200 are person 23 on my list of 28 people in the street. 210 00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:44,500 Hello. How are you? 211 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,500 I really wondered what you felt about that. 212 00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:49,500 I don't think I've actually done it. 213 00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:54,000 Yes, 26 out of 28 because navigating around is I mean, I 214 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,600 want to have words with the city planners of Pelican town because 215 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,300 they've made the most batsh crazy layout for this town I've 216 00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:03,600 ever seen in my life. I mean like a well let's talk 217 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,700 about moving around in general. Yes. 218 00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:09,400 This should have been called stardew Valley the walking 219 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:14,300 around game the clumsily walking around getting yeah, you walk 220 00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:18,400 around an awful lot, which I was reminded of my game of the year 221 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,400 from last year simple. Be Park. 222 00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:22,700 Where do you start off? You walk around a lot? 223 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,300 Yeah, but then when you find a map, you can just tap on the 224 00:12:25,300 --> 00:12:27,800 place and you matter to go to that place. 225 00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:30,500 I believe it can be nice. Yeah, I believe in thimble we'd 226 00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:33,400 Park as well. If you double tap the person 227 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,200 will either run or like teleport there right like yeah. 228 00:12:36,300 --> 00:12:38,400 So once you have the map moving around is so much easier. 229 00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:41,900 Yeah not in this game. If you need to get somewhere 230 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,600 you've a also the map is really tiny and difficult to find and 231 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,000 use right and we're on the plus size mobile the right. 232 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,400 Oh my gosh on a regular sized phone must be nigh on 233 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,000 Impossible. Yeah, and then even as moving 234 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,100 around is tedious and slow and clumsy. 235 00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:01,400 Yeah two ways. You can move around you can 236 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,200 either tap a square and you eventually walk that square or 237 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,100 you do the tap and hold right? Tap and hold your dumb ass and 238 00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:10,400 you just walk at you if there's a tree in the way you just stand 239 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,900 at that walking's that tree. Yeah and say I don't know how to 240 00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:14,500 get around this tree. What am I going to do? 241 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,700 Then tap, you will figure out how to walk around the tree with 242 00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:20,800 some rudimentary and a path solving logic. 243 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,000 So the pathfinding Israel is really bad. 244 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,800 It's a trick right if you need to gather a maze you just stick 245 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,300 out your left hand and keep that attach to the wall and keep on 246 00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:30,200 going and you'll eventually find into the maze. 247 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,000 Oh really? Is that the trick? 248 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,100 Yes, so it's a nice good if you're ever find yourself lost 249 00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:38,300 in the garden maze. Just pick a wall either size and 250 00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:41,000 then just follow it because that will eventually get you to the 251 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,400 end of the maze. Oh boy. 252 00:13:42,900 --> 00:13:46,900 Hmm we go it's life hints here on seventies and play and I'm 253 00:13:46,900 --> 00:13:49,500 pretty sure that's the same logic used here normally would 254 00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:52,500 like pathfinding like implementations and games. 255 00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:56,500 It takes a look at all your surroundings and then determines 256 00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:59,200 the path for you to actually get there and then moves their right 257 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,200 for this it just runs you to the wall and then you just stopped 258 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,300 and they're just they're like looking at the tray or the wall. 259 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,300 For the flower plant or the Little Rock that's in front of 260 00:14:09,300 --> 00:14:13,900 you. And so yeah, I hardly use the 261 00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:18,800 tap to hold because it almost never worked and I ended up 262 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,800 clicking everywhere, but it's kind of tiring because in order 263 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,800 for you to get to the next page of the map essentially you have 264 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,800 to tap the very edge where the very last Square. 265 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,400 Yeah, right, which is also very annoying because especially on 266 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,500 the new iPhone excess Max. Oh, but you may have just 267 00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:40,900 acquired somehow the bottom if you want to go to the bottom of 268 00:14:40,900 --> 00:14:42,800 the map. He has to click on the bottom 269 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,600 Square grid and that is usually where the home little slider 270 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,700 thing is. And so there would be a lot of 271 00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:52,000 times where it wouldn't recognize it because it thought 272 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,100 I was trying to swipe up to close the app another problem of 273 00:14:56,100 --> 00:14:57,600 losing the home button. Right? 274 00:14:57,700 --> 00:15:01,900 And another thing is like the notch actually got in the way of 275 00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:05,100 me moving to the next screen. So I had to make sure to start 276 00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:10,100 my game at a certain orientation so that all of my tools are in 277 00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:12,400 the notch side. Oh, no the other side not the 278 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,700 other side. Yeah just doing so if you was on 279 00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:17,000 the other side to notch would cover like the last grid of the 280 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,000 map. Oh so you can get out. 281 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,200 I can't get out also traversing around is actually a lot easier 282 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,000 on other consoles. Yeah, it's going away. 283 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,500 If you experience around getting around is I do believe there is 284 00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:31,400 a run function you can run quickly and the other versions 285 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,400 of the game. I think it expends some of your 286 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,800 energy which is important, but it's still available it because 287 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,000 you just wanna you just you don't want to like but that's 288 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,500 not the fun part of the game. Yeah. 289 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,300 You want to get to the Places on the mouse and keyboard or even 290 00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:45,800 like consoles like it's just easier because it's a lot easier 291 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,100 for you to move around like you tend to remember the places a 292 00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:50,100 lot quicker. Whereas here because everything 293 00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:53,200 is like a tap and touch and move you tend to forget where 294 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,400 everything is there's like this weird mentality shift of like 295 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,000 because it's on a mobile device. I don't really picture the 296 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,400 larger map. Right and the map is hard to get 297 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,000 to so what to get you for something using all the time 298 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,300 they buried that how is he on this which I haven't played it 299 00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:12,100 on this switch. Oh, yeah. 300 00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:14,500 I did I did. Yeah, it's perfectly playable on 301 00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:16,400 the switch. Oh I see but you have direct 302 00:16:16,500 --> 00:16:18,600 d-pad controls. Yeah, but for moving around 303 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,100 because it's accurate thing, right? 304 00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:22,100 Yeah, right having said all that. 305 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,400 Let's get to the 3 by 3 S. We were threes. 306 00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:28,000 Sometimes you plant parsnips. Sometimes you plant peas. 307 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,700 Sam give me three parsnips. I think it is a really faithful 308 00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:37,000 port to the iOS. Yeah. 309 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,900 I think I might be too faithful in a somewhat which I can 310 00:16:39,900 --> 00:16:41,200 imagine people get to talking about later. 311 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,400 But yes, it does seem like they've made a lot of 312 00:16:43,408 --> 00:16:48,600 concessions to playing it on an iOS touch device, like one of 313 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,200 the things that I really enjoyed about. 314 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,300 This is that you really didn't have to switch your tools around 315 00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:55,600 too much. So if you went and if you want 316 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,400 to a tree and you tap down a tree it would automatically use 317 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,800 the axe to chop it down. If you tapped on the weeds or 318 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,900 the grass, it would automatically change it over to 319 00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:07,200 your site write these kind of things. 320 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,599 I think there's those are like really good touches so that 321 00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:12,099 you're not fiddling around with changing your tools and that's 322 00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:15,000 different on switch will be C. Right you have to make sure your 323 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,300 selected on the right tool and then use it the Radix what the 324 00:17:18,300 --> 00:17:19,700 right tools the right place? Yeah. 325 00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:22,200 It looks great, which is what we say about everyday. 326 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,200 Hey, but this is actually a very gorgeous game on the switch. 327 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,900 It looks really good. Can I just be a default good 328 00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:29,700 point now and forever. Yeah. 329 00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:33,000 It's Well, some games don't look gray. 330 00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:35,500 Yeah, that's right, but dude, but don't they have you ever 331 00:17:35,500 --> 00:17:38,800 said it came doesn't look great. Hmm. 332 00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:44,300 It's up to think about but I think bars bars was it bars Rush 333 00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:48,200 balls with a z Rush? Yeah, that game does not look 334 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,000 great. Yeah. 335 00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:55,200 But it also great the 8-Bit Graphics nicely done 16 bit or 336 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,600 whatever some retro retro Graphics. 337 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,400 Let's say yeah my second good point and this is this is like 338 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,700 an addition to the first point where it's a faithful Port like 339 00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:06,800 you can play the entire game. I think pretty effectively on 340 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,100 the iOS. Like I don't think anything is 341 00:18:09,100 --> 00:18:11,300 really stopping you if you didn't have any previous 342 00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:14,700 knowledge of this game being on other devices. 343 00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:19,100 I feel like you can play it through if you're willing all 344 00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:21,300 the a through without any major issues. 345 00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:26,000 Yeah, you definitely feel like it is very Broad in scope. 346 00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:28,700 What starts off what you thinking is? 347 00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:30,900 Oh, this is the Farming Simulator it quickly becomes 348 00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:34,000 apparent that actually wait. No, this is quite a large scale 349 00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:37,500 world. And also amount of time you can 350 00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:39,800 have to sink into this to fully play the game. 351 00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:43,000 Hmm. Which I think is it's probably a 352 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,600 good thing. It's probably a good thing. 353 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,500 Yeah, I thought I would love I would love this like a simple 354 00:18:47,500 --> 00:18:50,800 Farming Simulator game like somewhere between a clicker and 355 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,500 an RPG like if this was a little bit more touch oriented. 356 00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:59,600 Yeah, I think about aging and how I mean how I kind of got 357 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,000 sucked into that and play that a lot and it burned up pretty 358 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,700 quick. But if there was a little bit 359 00:19:03,700 --> 00:19:08,000 more management bombing management, but then you also 360 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,900 combined with Maybe some of the clicking. 361 00:19:11,300 --> 00:19:13,100 I don't know that could be quite that could be quite a good game. 362 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,300 I can see that I feel like there's something there right? 363 00:19:16,300 --> 00:19:19,100 Like I think there's something about like seeing your plants 364 00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:22,000 grow. I really enjoyed I can't even 365 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,800 like daily watering and then like, yeah, I think I think 366 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,000 there is like a nice formula just it was too it felt too 367 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,300 tedious being on an iOS device we're patient for what's this 368 00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:37,700 was and and just the size of the Grid's was just too small for me 369 00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:39,600 to completely enjoy it I even switched over. 370 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:44,400 To a little stylus. Oh, yeah being that it'll help 371 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,900 me but I did that work out. No, you just don't want to be 372 00:19:47,908 --> 00:19:51,600 that dude with the stylus. It seems like we've accidentally 373 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,100 move into the battery. Sorry the peas if you will get 374 00:19:55,100 --> 00:19:58,600 your parsnips now you hang with peas how many more positives 375 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,100 before we no? No, that was it. 376 00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:05,000 But yeah, the biggest concern for me the biggest really 377 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,600 drawback was like the tap to move was just so annoying like I 378 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,200 almost I almost wish there was an on-screen d-pad definitely 379 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,000 don't quote me on that. But I really wanted an on-screen 380 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,300 d-pad. I think one way to do it would 381 00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:21,200 be to have the main navigation happening on the map. 382 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,400 Just like hey, yeah, let me tap on this place and I'll go and 383 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,300 then I'll see you on the screen and then I can move around and 384 00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:30,500 do what I want right but don't make me walk through 5 screens 385 00:20:30,700 --> 00:20:33,800 just to get to the library, which I think I vaguely remember 386 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,500 where it is, right and that's just becomes so much friction 387 00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:39,500 just to do that that I don't even care if you take away. 388 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,300 Time away like just take the appropriate time away from my 389 00:20:42,300 --> 00:20:45,700 time and just teleport me there right so I can do my thing that 390 00:20:45,700 --> 00:20:49,800 I need to do sell these damn things talk to the person that I 391 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,800 need to talk to give him a freaking present and let me be 392 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,200 on my way. How many presents do you have? 393 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,000 I gave it to all the people that were on their birthdays. 394 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,800 Wow, my completeness that as you know, you don't get anything 395 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,700 from your birthday. Did you did you look at the 396 00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:09,900 calendar with the birthdays? I didn't know that was a thing. 397 00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:13,800 Okay. So yeah, the hell is what far as 398 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,900 I'm concerned. Those are those are like the 399 00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:18,100 little interesting points where like, you know, you have to 400 00:21:18,100 --> 00:21:20,900 start building relationships with people around town you do 401 00:21:20,900 --> 00:21:23,700 that, but I have to really kind of it's good be a recluse on my 402 00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:26,300 farm. Well you can but you're not 403 00:21:26,300 --> 00:21:30,000 gonna have a good time because they're just about the side goal 404 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,800 of this game is To is to romance someone. 405 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000 My parsnips with your part you got insert that parsnip 406 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,400 somewhere. Okay, let's talk about to the 407 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,800 saving. This is this was a real bummer. 408 00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:48,400 That was a conqueror, huh? They messed up on the saves for 409 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,300 a mobile game the expectation now is that when you close the 410 00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:54,400 app, it saves your state, right? And that's it. 411 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,100 Like I think that kind of has to be happy how games work because 412 00:21:58,100 --> 00:22:01,700 it's mobile device because this can be played Super casually 413 00:22:01,700 --> 00:22:03,600 when people have fear five minutes on a Subway or whatever. 414 00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:05,700 You got to be able to get in and out quick. 415 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,800 And that is not the case Sam. How do you save a game? 416 00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:13,100 You have to go to sleep and only I love naps. 417 00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:16,900 Don't get me wrong. Yeah that combined with you 418 00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:19,800 having to do a certain number of things that you want to get 419 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:28,300 accomplished before makes those saving spots. a little too 420 00:22:28,300 --> 00:22:32,900 rigidly right like I do something and then if I want to 421 00:22:32,900 --> 00:22:35,300 save like I'm not going to sleep because I still have a lot more 422 00:22:35,300 --> 00:22:37,000 stuff to do like I got to go collect wood. 423 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,400 I want to level up on my fishing so I go fishing. 424 00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:43,900 But if I'm in the middle of the subway, and I need to step out. 425 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,700 I'm at the risk of losing the progress that I've done for that 426 00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:51,300 day, which I don't want to redo. Yeah, which I've had done 427 00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:52,800 because like it didn't keep him safe. 428 00:22:52,900 --> 00:22:54,400 Yeah the first few times right? Yeah. 429 00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:56,400 I got bitten in the butt by that as well. 430 00:22:56,700 --> 00:23:01,400 Yeah greeted at least 14 people. So yeah, you find you have to 431 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,500 navigate your way back to the farm go to bed and that triggers 432 00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:08,000 another day. Yeah, and if it's 10 o'clock in 433 00:23:08,008 --> 00:23:10,100 the morning, which I've done in the past, right? 434 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,600 I got one of my partner's. Oh wait, here's my station back 435 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,000 to sleep I go. I apparently slept for 22 hours, 436 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,500 but that is not a good game play experience. 437 00:23:21,500 --> 00:23:24,600 No on mobile at all. If they were to work on one 438 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,700 thing, you know for improvements of this game. 439 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,500 It would be that saving thing. Yeah, it'd be saving anywhere or 440 00:23:29,500 --> 00:23:32,200 just like saving your state or even just give me a button to 441 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,000 say go home and sleep. I think I think the reason why 442 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,000 they do this is because there are some moments where they're 443 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,500 cutscenes. Hmm. 444 00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:42,800 So as you're walking back at night, did you get to the the 445 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,900 person rummaging? The trash cans. 446 00:23:44,900 --> 00:23:49,100 Okay, so they're really nice touching scenes that happens as 447 00:23:49,100 --> 00:23:52,300 you go through it's just yeah the saving thing really bugged 448 00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:56,200 me unfortunately. So next piece. 449 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,200 I'm two hours into the game. I haven't quite found out where 450 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,700 the fun is. Don't forget. 451 00:24:00,700 --> 00:24:06,000 Well, okay, I'm done with this is cute and fun, but the farming 452 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:11,300 isn't Fun navigating around isn't Fun the community center 453 00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:13,200 exploring the rats and the community center. 454 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,100 Someone had told me. Leo that's quite a good part of 455 00:24:15,100 --> 00:24:19,700 the game so I kind of did that and then someone gets in touch 456 00:24:19,700 --> 00:24:22,000 with you and then you go see them about the thing. 457 00:24:23,300 --> 00:24:25,000 Yeah. Okay the kind of interesting. 458 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,100 Yeah, that's what of reveals a more mystical side of the game. 459 00:24:29,500 --> 00:24:31,600 That wasn't there before ha ha ha. 460 00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:34,600 Yeah, that's okay. But after two hours, I still 461 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,100 haven't found a thing. That's Gonna Keep Me coming back 462 00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:39,000 and I think that's the nature of games like this. 463 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,400 It isn't like a bang with moment of like, oh my God, this is so 464 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,100 much fun. Right. 465 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,700 It's more like a yeah. It's a slow burn. 466 00:24:47,700 --> 00:24:49,800 It's an underrated like not under it. 467 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:55,100 But like it's low-key constantly you do things and you see the 468 00:24:55,100 --> 00:24:58,700 progress of it, right? Like it's more like it fills 469 00:24:58,700 --> 00:25:02,400 your H for a long-term goal. Yeah. 470 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,100 I've had the argument that you know, it's quite like a the idea 471 00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:07,800 of this is like a meditation, you know, you're tilling the 472 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,700 land you're growing the plants. But as a newcomer that wasn't 473 00:25:12,700 --> 00:25:16,500 easy enough to find that relaxing like even even after 474 00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:19,000 two hours you had to tell me had to go buy seed from somewhere 475 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,900 else. Yeah, we know that's what I 476 00:25:20,900 --> 00:25:23,100 suppose to be doing. Like, okay, I think they 477 00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:26,700 could've done a better job in revealing the vastness of the 478 00:25:26,700 --> 00:25:29,300 game more slowly, right? But even that would have been 479 00:25:29,300 --> 00:25:31,500 quite awesome like the first two hours you think you're just in a 480 00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:34,800 farming simulator and oh, I'm off making Abby's making my 481 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,900 parsnips and then suddenly our he comes a moment where you 482 00:25:38,900 --> 00:25:41,300 realize that there's Actually the whole other thing going on 483 00:25:41,300 --> 00:25:42,200 right? That would have been quite 484 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,900 awesome. Yeah, but to dump everything on 485 00:25:44,900 --> 00:25:48,300 you at the beginning without much Guidance just meant that 486 00:25:48,300 --> 00:25:50,700 up. I kind of didn't really find fun 487 00:25:50,700 --> 00:25:53,200 in any of it, you know, definitely for this even if it 488 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:58,500 breaks a little bit much even if it breaks the the game itself in 489 00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:01,500 ways that it's going to be different from like the console 490 00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:03,200 and PC version of stardew Valley. 491 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,400 I do feel like they need to either make more checkpoints are 492 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,700 like more little quests that gets people. 493 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,100 Used to this concept of oh, I'm going to do something for just a 494 00:26:12,108 --> 00:26:13,600 little bit and then see how it happens. 495 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,000 Right like yeah because with the PC like you can sit there and 496 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,800 play for like an hour. Yeah. 497 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,100 I write thinking about this would be pretty awesome on the 498 00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:26,200 PC just because the environment and expectation is completely 499 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,700 different when you're sitting down in front of your PC versus 500 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,700 whipping out your phone on your way home. 501 00:26:30,700 --> 00:26:33,600 Yeah, and a lot of times like I was kind of hesitant to whip it 502 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,300 up because like when you should always because I went to a 503 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,500 special public transit, but why it's a You're like, oh well, I 504 00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:43,900 could start a new day. But well, let's see. 505 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,600 I'm three stops from work. So I got any 10 minutes like I 506 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,100 might be able to get to the library. 507 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,200 Yeah, and then after rush back again and go to sleep and then 508 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,700 the other thing is like I was as soon as I took asleep like I was 509 00:26:55,700 --> 00:26:58,800 hesitant to do things on the next day because I might not be 510 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,900 able to save it. I might not be able to go back 511 00:27:01,700 --> 00:27:05,300 to sleep before the day ended right or like before my trip or 512 00:27:05,300 --> 00:27:08,100 whatever I was doing. Yeah, right, so I'd be in bed 513 00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:12,200 and be like, okay, I'll do one. I'll do one day maybe two and 514 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,100 then after the first day was over it's like oh, I'm actually 515 00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:16,500 getting a little tired. I don't think I'll start the 516 00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:20,400 second day because I know whatever I do and and not finish 517 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,500 off by sleeping. It's gonna be ruined my final 518 00:27:23,500 --> 00:27:27,100 bad point things are just too damn small to touch. 519 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,300 Like I always miss touched a lot of the I don't know if it's just 520 00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:34,300 my fat finger. I don't I don't think it's that 521 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,900 you have a little problem with the touch the touch drift. 522 00:27:36,900 --> 00:27:39,600 Yeah the touch draft and I swear my fingers. 523 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,800 That that big even with a stylus. 524 00:27:42,900 --> 00:27:46,200 Oh, yeah, even with a stylus like it was just really tedious 525 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,100 because one of the things that you have to do is you have to 526 00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:51,500 watch the TV every day because you got to you got to check out 527 00:27:51,500 --> 00:27:54,500 the the forecast the weather forecast for tomorrow. 528 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,400 You want to check out that fortune and you want to check 529 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,400 out that the third show that usually tells you where the 530 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,800 things are growing around your land right on the PC. 531 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,100 I believe it's like okay you can just do that and then do all 532 00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:09,300 three things one after the other for this you had to tap the TV 533 00:28:09,300 --> 00:28:11,500 again. N but even tapping the TV when 534 00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:13,800 you're close to it didn't reactivate it like you have to 535 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,300 go away from it. Oh no way and then come back to 536 00:28:16,300 --> 00:28:18,600 the TV and do it again. So it was like these multiple 537 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,500 Taps just to do for something that you have to do every day. 538 00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:24,300 It was just super tedious. I remember when we played 539 00:28:24,700 --> 00:28:28,000 crash-lands you mentioned how the inventory management was 540 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,600 actually quite nice. Mmm. 541 00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:34,400 And now I know what you mean because your knapsack will get 542 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,700 full pretty damn quick. Yeah, and then you have a chest. 543 00:28:37,700 --> 00:28:39,600 So then you're like ferrying stuff between your back. 544 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,400 Can the chest as we've been saying for a mobile game? 545 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,500 You just need to make a few more concessions right through the 546 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,800 your lot more Nimble on a PC and console and you don't have that 547 00:28:50,900 --> 00:28:55,600 affordance on mobile. I'll final seven a rating for 548 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,000 stardew Valley Oh, I thought you were saying that's for for you 549 00:28:59,300 --> 00:29:02,800 night. My seven-day rating is a six on 550 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:08,300 each say that minds are for I really wanted to like it. 551 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,700 Yeah, me too and I'm going to keep it around. 552 00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:12,300 I think I say that about every game now. 553 00:29:12,300 --> 00:29:14,100 Oh, I'm gonna keep it around some play it again. 554 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,800 Yeah, and I never do. Yeah, we wanted to like it but I 555 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,200 didn't grab me. I think if they make the changes 556 00:29:21,300 --> 00:29:23,900 of making the tapping a little bit better and the path finding 557 00:29:23,900 --> 00:29:26,400 a little bit better you'd say they'd be a successful game 558 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,200 company. I do think it's still going to 559 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,800 be successful because I feel like these aren't these aren't 560 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,500 going to be big Roblox for people that don't have consoles 561 00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:38,100 and PC. But for me, it just made me 562 00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:40,800 really want to get back to it on either the PC or the console. 563 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,300 I don't think I'll be playing it on the iOS unless it makes some 564 00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:46,100 of these changes because it's just too tedious. 565 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,800 Yeah, did it make you want to go back though and play it again on 566 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,200 the switch. The only the only great part 567 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,200 about it is that I can really play it on the on the bus 568 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,400 without any issues like the switch is just a little bit too 569 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,400 big for me to whip out. Huh with the mobile device super 570 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,400 easy to just get into and start playing. 571 00:30:04,700 --> 00:30:08,400 So yeah.
