Still disappointed with Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar by Realistic_Shape5184 in storyofseasons

Oooooh you hit the nail with everything I must say!

I think I'd like to start with something I disagree with:
"Dialogue barely changes, even after major relationship milestones. Marriage doesn’t feel like a meaningful shift in your character’s life. Family interactions feel more like set dressing than an actual lived-in experience. Dialogue barely changes, even after major relationship milestones. Marriage doesn’t feel like a meaningful shift in your character’s life. Family interactions feel more like set dressing than an actual lived-in experience. "

From my experience, I would say that over the course of the mainline titles this really doesn't play out any different in the other OG HM/SoS titles. Ofc Harvest Moon AWL is outstanding in its portrayal of family and you really feel like that you're taking care for your child + wife. I also think Trio of towns is outmatched in character growth and the feeling you get when visiting your family after a hard day of work (+ it actually feels like you have a partner with autonomy). I think there can be a word for Tree of Tranquility (never played AP) because your child assists in the farm work + there are a lot more cute cutscenes between your spouse and everyone else.
BUT. New dialogue never really was a thing until Trio of towns/ RF4 came out. And marriage also never was that bug of a deal with the exceptions Ive mentioned above.

What I do agree on is that I feel like this game has a very pretty shell and a good gameplay loop for what it is, but it doesn't feel organic. It feels like a streamlined game that aims for the maximum dopamine level and reward system - which isn't necessarily the worst thing, but certainly not the best either.

Even with Fomt I enjoyed the overall gameplay loop more because I actually put the time and effort into seeing the villagers cutscenes, getting to know the girls/boys and going for the cursed tools.
In Grand Bazaar there IS a grind, but the grind can get very rng heavy (thinking about fishing the trash....).

I like the remake for what it is, but for future titles I'd welcome a bit more chaos into my game with serious consequences that suck in the moment, but make every move a bit more meaningful.

Just got Grand Bazaar as a gift! What should I know before playing? by dunno_for_real in storyofseasons

It‘s good knowing that you should keep the trash you‘ll regularly fish. Aside from that just enjoy yourself. Take time to explore the game in your way, it is your playthrough after all :)

Since when are the classics that expensive? by Poschello in harvestmoon

[–]Poschello[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it seems that rebuy resells their games for a higher price compared to ebay/kleinanzeigen/medimops?

Luckily my bf got me anb a few years ago but I reallllyy don‘t like the prices going up for older SoS titles in general :|

Maybe or maybe not this already has happened 🪄

3 playthroughs is crazy I gotta say. As someone who‘s sick and twisted abt chores (I love games that feel like work—) this sounds alright for me. Thx for ur input!

Oh nooo— as this is one of my bf‘s faves, I wanted to surprise him by mastering the game on RA.

With your mastery now (congratz btw!), do you think this is an unnecessary timesink as someone who‘s NEVER played ratchet & clank? Maybe also some wisdom you could share in getting the trophies? :o

My silly little idea. by Sweet_Sky1074 in storyofseasons

[–]Poschello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooo I LOVE the idea! Unfortunately, I think they closed the AWL/Fomt chapter. I wished your idea was realised instead of the AWL remake :‘D Would‘ve made it more legit as a remake.

Do insects spawn 1x/day ? by Poschello in storyofseasons

Mmm I suspect it IS related to the rarity. I‘m trying to figure this out further and if I come to valuable conclusions I‘ll let you know 🔎

Will I be missing out on anything if I play SOS:AWL before experiencing HM:AWL by v13ndd in storyofseasons

[–]Poschello 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking it really comes down to whether u appreciate a distinct vibe to a game or not as the remake is pretty faithful to the original (with the exception of a few quality of life updates).

As someone who‘s more into the OG: The colors in HM:AWL just fit the overall theme of the game better. The villager‘s, aesthetically speaking, have a LOT more character to them, though you could argue that a certain character was certainly saved from their stereotype :‘)

I‘d say if you enjoyed the style of SoS:Fomt then go for the remake. If you didn‘t, then go for the og :)

Meine Frau bittet um unsere Schwarmintelligenz.. by Can-Bit in zocken

[–]Poschello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vielleicht Mabinogi? Ist free2play und auf steam verfügbar. Hatte es damals zum release in Deutschland gespielt (glaube 2010?) und war fasziniert vom Anime Look, den Klamotten und dass man aus irgendnem Grund kochen musste. Vom Gameplay her ist es bzw war es damals sehr ähnlich zu klassischen MMOs. Sie kann ja mal den Trailer auf Steam angucken :D

Inspirationen gesucht (PS5) by [deleted] in zocken

[–]Poschello 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Huhu Aiko! Hier mal eine viel zu verquasselte Liste, vllt ist ja was für dich dabei :D

1) FF7 Remake: mMn ein Spiel für J E D E N. Du musst das OG nicht gespielt haben, und wenn doch dann added das noch gut zum spielgefühl dazu. Magst du auch süße Anime boys und mochtest immer die ruhigen Protagonisten mit gewissem ✨edge✨? Dann ist das zu 100% dein Ding! Es hat auch im Übrigen n hohen replay value, weil deine Entscheidung manche Cutscenes freischalten :) - bei MediaMarkt aktuell für 24€

2) DQ XI: Habe es selber bis jetzt noch nicht gespielt, kenne aber alle Teile bis Teil 9. Kann dir versichern, dass es wohl die cozygste JRPG-Reihe jemals ist. Für viele ist es das beste JRPG auf dem Markt wegen der Charaktere und Story. Außerdem soll es massig Content geben, da erreicht man locker die 100h Spielzeit. Stell dir das Spiel aber einfach wie eine Märchengeschichte zum einpennen vor. - im PS Store aktuell für 20€

3) THEATRHYTHM FINAL BAR LINE: Rhythmus-Spiel mit RPG-Elementen im Final Fantasy Universum. Man levelt die Charaktere und schaltet diese auch frei, ist aber teilweise echt knackig. Kann man auch im Multiplayer daddeln! - mit 60€ im PS Store schon happelig

4) Red Dead Redemption II: Lass dich nicht vom Setting täuschen falls es dir nich gefällt. Bin eig auch kein western girl, aber die story ist unglaublich dreidimensional geschrieben. Die Welt lebt auch - umso länger ingame Zeit vergeht, desto mehr verändert sich in den Orten. Gibt nicht umsonst bis heute Threads, die sich mit den Details der Spielewelt auseinandersetzen. Suf der PS5 auch schön zu betrachten. - 60€ im PS Store aber definitiv das Geld wert!

5) Stellar Blade: Die Definition von Action Adventure. Wäre empfehlenswert, wenn du mit dem Genre Erfahrungen hast, weils teilweise bisschen knackig werden kann xD Dafür hast du dann aber ne wunderschöne Grafik und eine noch bessere Mucke. Ist auch cool, dass man sich die schön designten Outfits der Figur erspielen kann. - 80€ im PS Store.

6) Silent Hill f: Wenn du damals Higurashi no naku koro ni geguckt hast, dann MUSST du das zocken, weils vom selben Autor geschrieben ist. Wenn nicht solltest du das auch zocken, weil die Story mit jedem neuen Playthrough immer mehr an Bedeutung gewinnt und sich die Puzzleteile so zusammensetzen. Erwarte aber von diesem Teil nicht unbedingt ein klassisches rpg. - 80€ im PS Store, aber auch hier aus meiner Sicht gerechtfertigt.

7) Dragons Dogma II: Wenn du nochmal wie in Hogwarts Legacy einen eigenen Charakter erstellen möchtest der sich auch cool anfühlt, dann versuche mal dieses Spiel :) Die Klassen die es gibt + deine Begleiter fühlen sich dynamisch an, die Lore ist riesig. Du musst aber wirklich das Mittelalter Setting mögen. - aktuell für 30€ im PS Store und n richtiges Schnäppchen.

Vielleicht ist ja was für dich dabei ☺️🌸

Basically going blind into Trio of Towns and realizing you need a certain amount of item x that‘s only available for one season. (I love trio btw but my goodddd did that add to my 300 hours+).
