Completely completing a game that doesn't have a criteria to 100%; it is a bold experiment. This is the best game every so I made my own 100% criteria and spent an in-game month trying to complete it. How far did I get? You'll have to watch the whole thing to find out!

Hey, I just wanna say, thanks for sticking out this challenge even on days when you didn't have folks in chat to keep you company. I know how discouraging it can be when you're still getting your stream viewership off the ground - but this was a great video with great commentary!

@JackDuckGoose Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much! To be honest, it wasn't that much of a problem lol. I'm super grateful to the first couple people since they definitely made a disproportional impact, but all the new people coming into the streams have made some unforgettably funny moments!

Honestly, after the Story of Season's announcement of A Wonderful Life, all of a sudden, a bunch of HM:A/nWL came out and I'm loving it! Playing this game back in elementary/middle school, I was the only one who really knew and played this game so I had no one to talk about it with. Now with this rerelease, I'm soaking it all up with this fandom! Thank you for this vid. This is the most detailed "walkthrough" of how to 100% complete the game and it's literally like a 9-5 job, and you didn't skip a beat with hybrids, flowers, and recipes! I was SO impressed you got the weird/strange tools so early! Growing up, I've never past chapter 3 and it took me until chapter 3 to get all the strange/weird tools too. The game is soo long. I'm excited for more vids from you're channel! You gained a subscriber! 🤗

@JackDuckGoose Жыл бұрын

Absolutely! If I wanted to play a farming game rich with content, I would play Stardew or a newer SoS game, but those games don't have the same charm for me.

This game came out when I was 14 and living in an unhealthy atomic family situation, but I also used to ask different people in the house to name my animals.

I hope you were able to get out or remedy of your unhealthy situation, friend. I always name my cow Bessy because that's what me and my siblings would always name it, so that name is special to me.

The thing about naming Bessy made me smile so hard. Ever since my very first time playing Harvest Moon as a child, the first cow is always Abigail.

Believe it or not, I started Platinuming the PS3 version of this game for funsies in anticipation of the remake just a few weeks ago, so this was the perfect thing to watch while I do so! I've even learned a thing or two from seeing yours (and you're doing MUCH more in your run than I am - the trophies really aren't hard). I will wish you luck with Territory Capture, though. That thing is torture, I swear. I wish you luck with this entire endeavor, and I can't wait to keep tuning into this series! Hopefully I can catch you on Twitch soon. P.S. While she's not my favorite, my vote's on Nami, since I never seem to see people marry her on here and it feels like you'd appreciate her immensely.

I'm not sure why, but we didn't own a memory card AT ALL so every time my older sister and I would play this game we would play it as long as we could before my mom would make us turn off our game. I've played through the intro of this game so many times (and named an equal amount of cows Bessie) and yet I could never get tired of it. I'm so excited for the remake coming this year but I will always remember Forget-me-not Valley and all its inhabitants!

I'm feeling super nostalgic today - My brother and I used to take turns playing this game all day - He Married Nami, and I married Celia. So hearing you talk about that in the beginning really brought me back. I say my Vote is for Nami, because she's the hardest to Marry in the game, and takes real dedication.

I’ve always been a big harvest moon fan. My sister bought me stardew valley for my switch last October and I didn’t play it until June cuz I wasn’t emotionally ready to fall in love with a different farming game. I now also love stardew valley and have been playing a ton. But this video brought me back to the good old days of watching my sisters take turns playing on the game cube and being irritated when i finally got to play but was only “allowed” to persue Nami. I would go on the get harvest moon DS and put maybe a thousand hours into it over a decade. This video really brought me back to why I loved this franchise and the music… I felt like I was a kid again. Great video. Sad I missed this on twitch. But Maybe I’m not too late for the very end

Oh man, I remember playing the first Harvest Moon game on my dad's gameboy color ages ago (not understanding a thing because it was in Japanese lol) but STILL loved it because I guess as a kid I already loved the idea of a life and farm simulator LOL. I honestly was going nowhere in the game and was just walking around enjoying waking up to my character eating breakfast and looking at the pet dog. Needless to say, I never realized it was an actual Harvest Moon game until years later. I guess its time to bring out my Gamecube and play A Wonderful Life!
