Definitely getting this, I think it'll vary for me I've been wanting a good farming game for ages but the battling looks addictive!

I think it's the best the battling has ever been for me. Glen

For me i love the bit of both farming and the adventure..definitely getting this..its about time i stop playing those hardcore action game and play this leisurely😋

Nope

Yeap I’ll definitely be picking it up

I just started playing my first Rune Factory, Rune Factory 3. I am in love. I will be buying RF4S and RF5 on Switch once I can. This is also my first Story Of Seasons/Harvest Moon unless I'm forgetting.

@@teighan7829 Ooo how exciting!! If you have a 3ds I would highly recommend story of seasons Trio of Towns!

They're the only reviewers I can stand to listen to. Non-emotional and to the point.

I second this, the content is so high quality and consistent! I really don’t go to any other switch channel. I even check out games here that I usually wouldn’t care about because the analysis and gameplay tidbits are so in depth.

@@SanganY I also agree. I clicked off IGN's review right off. The lady on there didn't even get the history right, referring to Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, and Rune Factory as a "classic trio" that RF5 just didn't live up to ... Jeez, IGN, do your homework! This video at least succinctly sums up the history ... corectly! Also, I struggled to understand all the hateful troll types in that comments section, talking about how it looks like an N64 or PS2 game, deriding Nintendo suckers spending their candy money. I understand the graphics are rough, but I think that just took it too far and completely ignores the game's good points. I am kind of greatl that being legally blind means I have more trouble seeing when graphics have some roughness to them, so I'm just not as bothered. Sorry for ranting, but some people ...

@@seamarie3111 Honestly IGN is notorious for half-assed reviews on any platform, they also have players from most ‘hardcore gaming platforms’ in their comment section so it can definitely be more toxic at times! I totally understand where you’re coming from. Thankfully none of that exists here, or if so, a minuscule amount.

@@SanganY SAME!! and i dont know how they managed to do it so indepth yet dont spoil anything?? and when you play/finish the game you're like 'wow switchup was right!" honestly, 90% of the time i dont buy games unless SwitchUp has had an opinion on it XD

@@seamarie3111 nono, i totally agree with you! i was so annoyed with IGN's review! pls dont kill me but i thought they were type of gamer who only cares about graphics and if thats not good, the whole game is dismissible :/ no shame to people who enjoy graphics btw cuz i do agree the visuals can be improved (a lot), but look beyond it, please!!

Preach! I would love an etrian odyssey game on the switch

Too bad they don’t have a 2 player mode.

@@jonahabenhaim1223 I agree I hope they update it with a patch because it would be so fun

You know you can just buy it once and share it

@@maxkross7081 But what if they want play it at the same time?

@@maxkross7081 we all have our own switches. And they would make great gifts since it will be both there first experience in this series. Plus I do like to support the the people who made the game. As a long time fan I am happy to see the series Continues get better and better.

You're very welcome! Glen

I went out of town on a whim last night for like 15-20 mins and came back 6 levels higher. Games real nice so far.

@@alphabrodien i wish Dad was like that. Maybe when he comes back, he'll be level 9999

@@zigrakudo4092 hahaha

@@zigrakudo4092 dark....I like it

I recommend playing rune factory 4 it's way better

@@theplayerguy4505 let people enjoy what they want to enjoy.

@@theplayerguy4505 I would say 5 is better to me personally. I hate the top down 2d tune factory games. That’s why I loved the Wii ones so much. 3D just fits this game better.

@@vagrantender RF4 was everything I expected to like but hated. I'm gonna try 5.

Thank you. Yeah, the performance issues are there and worse in handheld mode but they didn't impact my enjoyment or make the game harder to play. Glen

Then better don't even care to watch the NWR review...that really baffled me xD

Those people don't play games....They are activists that fumble around with a game for an hour then write a review.

Except lots of “LeGiT rune factory players” didn’t like it either.

IGN is irrelevant now. Don’t even watch their vids anymore

I liked it ok, but the overall performance was absolutely unacceptable.

I think it's had a couple of patches since the Japanese release which were probably in the western version as standard. It's still not perfect but certainly not terrible. Glen

@@SwitchUpYt that's what I saw in the video but it doesn't look as bad as XCOM (and I love XCOM)

May be for you, may not. If you played harvest moon games and liked them, you'll probably like this. If you didn't particularly care for harvest moon, but might have been more interested if it was more . . . "actiony", you may like RF. Never got to play RF 1 or 2, but I heard good things, I played 3 and it was fantastic, got hooked for over a month after starting my first playthrough, and went back to play again many times until RF 4 came out. Sadly, didn't like RF 4 as much. Hated the character designs of RF 4 soooo much. Everything was disturbingly shiny or pastel and seemed . . . Super-Omega Kawaii, I guess? Can't really think of any other way to describe it, seeing as it's a Japanese game. Either way, couldn't stand to play it for more than thirty minutes, cause the characters and environments literally hurt my head, the dialogue didn't interest me as much as RF 3, and fighting got waaaay more grindy without feeling particularly better than RF 3 (though not feeling worse either.) This one looks like it's going to be a much better offering. Definitely preferring most of the character designs to the previous entry, and I'm interested to see how the gameplay loop feels in full 3D compared to the 2D isometric of the previous games.

It's trash brother man

Hahaha, fair enough! Glen

Thank you!

Same I never even heard of this series but this entry point should be fun, getting this Friday :)

@@freddy007____9 I highly recommend rune factory frontier , rune factory tides of destiny and rune factory 4 & 3

@@chrystalj9571 I plan to play all of them if I end up liking this one, thanks for the recommendation so I'll definitely start there next, so far I am enjoying this game, reminds me of dragon quest builders

Great stuff!

Plus they're a bunch of elitist san fran dumbos at ign. Switchup is legit.

The game runs at 15 FPS and looks like a N64 game. That 6 isn't much of a mystery to anyone with working eyes. Doesn't matter how good the gameplay is if it's poorly optimised without even having a good reason to be poorly optimised.

Thanks Irene. How have you been enjoying this one? Glen

@@SwitchUpYt I like the gameplay loop, and I'm a huge Rune Factory fan but I seem to struggle with framedrops and performance issues. ❤️

It’s been out in Japan for awhile so I don’t think so

@@dustingonzalez8080 nooo!!!! I can only hope!!! I love playing it and I’m getting used to the frame rate, but I won’t let anything stop me from having a blast!

Buy the digital edition then because physical is impossible to find at a reasonable price

This comment right here. I feel the same way. Terrain looks terrible, I know they can do better.

Yeah. Is this Quest 64 haha?
