I think the reason why people are so critical about this game is because it is carrying the name "Harvest Moon." I think Natsume made a mistake in doing that because they cannot create a game that is on par with the original Harvest Moon/Story of Season. I think if this game is not called "Harvest Moon," even if it's lacking, people wouldn't be so harsh and more people are probably willing to try it. I personally wouldn't buy it even if it's under a different name because graphics is such an important part of my personal gaming 😂 and the environment of this game is just so lacking. I will give them credit for the character design though! I think the characters look good. Anyway, thank you for buying it and trying it out to show us how it plays!! 😊

I mean I was appalled they were allowed to sell this for $60 in a market with games like POOT and FOMT and ofcourse Stardew (which isn't a full priced game but only by choice because it's definitely is & im not even a big player). The hardest part is not being able to return this game. I couldn't in good conscience try to sell some poor soul this game either and gamestop would probably give me $3. Poot has some slight issues but you can tell they put love into it and are updating the game to fix those issues. This game has no soul, no heart, no passion. I'm not a longtime player so I didn't go into this with biased feeling towards them and they still pissed me off to no end.

The general opinion around them is negative no matter what they do because of fan loyalty to SoS(now) they feel they need to shit on them. Where as if they had a different name it would get a fair shake. Multiple farming sims can exist in the market at the same time it doesn't have to be one or the other but for natsume its always a fight against marvelous. Every move they make is compared to marvelous. Marvelous has mastered their trade and natsume is not on the same level obviously but I hope they can filter hate from constructive criticism and really put their heart in the next game. I ordered it because I don't want the internet to decide if something sucks for me. They need to take their time and listen to feedback. They stepped into shoes they were not ready to fill. Why they won't just let the name die and start a new farming franchise under a new name is beyond me. It may have been lucrative to keep it at first but now it is a coffin.

I definitely wouldn't have bought this game full price but i got it for less than half the price and honestly i don't regret buying for that price. I'm having fun playing it even tho it has countless flaws, i just can't put it down right now it's kinda addictive just gotta overcome the bad graphics

I ended up getting this game a few days ago and I agree. It's fun, but not $65 of fun lol. I honestly don't like the whole moving our house thing. I'd rather sit in one place and maybe get buildings that simulate the weather of different places. Like maybe the medallions you get could be installed inside a greenhouse? For someone indecisive like me, it kills me having to pick up and move around to different places
@kamikazebee133 жыл бұрын
It's funny that you mention using the medallions to simulate different weather. The HM DS and DS Cute games let you build different basement levels and you can find stones in the mine that you can place in the basement to let you grow crops of that season. So, it could be spring outside, but you could grow fall crops in your basement. It would be a great mechanic to bring back.

Becauae the people who made the original HM games dont make them anymore and make sos thats why the sos games seem amazing and the hm ones seem bad in comparison. People are remembering playing the original amazing hm games expecting the same quality out of different developers.

Honestly, compared to the light of hope, it's clear they put way more effort into this. I'm wondering if this game would be more suitable for my younger siblings and I might get POOT for myself since I think this game would be a lot easier for them, but I'm definitely hopeful about this game!

With all the tools this gives it actually is not all that bad. Yes at first the endurance meter feels so restrictive and I was not a fan. As I learned to get around it and navigate regardless and got rewarded for it, I continued. After beating the main story and picking up the legendary tool upgrades and all the sprinklers and house upgrades it really became a grind, but fun to complete everything.

you would never guess that a big team stands behind this game. the interfaces look like made in paint (as you said) and even the intro screen looks crap. the logo looks like it was mde in word with one of those fancy fonts. I know not everything is about graphics but for a game from a bigger company you could expect something polished and not a game that looks like it was made for the appstore/playstore.
