This game gets decent ratings but what is there even interesting to do? It's a tiny world where you do the same shit over and over again. And its idea of a challenge is to throw you a hurricane the one time you forget to watch the weather broadcast.

Reviews give it credit for having hundreds of different ways to play through it, yet no one way is any more interesting than another. Whether you forage herbs and fuck bitches, build a massive farm, or be a hikkikomori, you're just running back and forth without any form of thought.

There's something inherently satisfying taking your broken, run down property, and transforming it (and yourself) into a thriving, productive institution. Crawling your way out of the dirt and into a comfy, profitable position.

If it doesn't click for you, then I can't say any of the other Harvest Moons would either.

I have harvest moon 2 on the GBC and I would have probably had a more fun time with it if I knew what the hell to do.
I could never figure out how to get animals because I wasn't allowed to purchase them due to not have enough food for them, despite a full silo. There was quite a lot of stuff in it though that allowed me to enjoy it event without knowing how to do the main part of the game.
What are the newer ones like too? Whenever a thread was made on them in /v/ it just becomes waifu shit.

I enjoyed the latest one on 3DS. There's tons of different crops, animals, waifus, festivals. You can decorate your farm/city and force people to move, too. You can level up your crops and animals too. There's actually like goals too, the town restoration, so there's something to do besides make money for no reason

I would like to see something like harvest moon and the sims combined. You start of with a shitty run down shack and a crappy farm and then you build it up. You get to design your own house and have to eat and shit and all that. You could also hire on farmhands to help once you have enough money. Instead of just placing things like the sims you would have to go into town and buy them and bring them back or have them delivered and home improvements would actually take time and effort to do yourself of you could hire people. The game ends if you go bankrupt and your character can get old and die and get a game over if you don't have a heir. You would also have to deal with shit like the government trying to buy your land to build a highway or something.

you clearly do not abuse the mechanics enough. leave your cows inside because what you gain for leaving them outside is less than what you lose/risk. wolves will only come if there's a broken fencepost; they won't come if there's no fence. spend one night tossing your fence into the water reservoirs
if that's still not easy and abusable enough for you, play btn. if btn is too easy and abusable, play hm64

So many strange and broken mechanics in the SNES version of Harvest Moon.

- You can talk to the girls over and over again and max out their heart ratings in a single day.
- Not having any fencing at all would keep wolves out from pestering your livestock permanently, as the only check the game does is to see if there's any broken fencing. It didn't even need to be enclosed.
- That god damn ranch master rating. You had to put grass EVERYWHERE and have a certain number of crops shipped in some odd multiple or the game wouldn't count it. Same thing with the women. You had to have somewhere between 5 or 6 hearts on everyone. No more, no less.

I wonder if it can.

Seriously, somewhere else in the world, if you're willing to do the hard work and get your hands dirty, I bet there are places left in this world where small farming communities still go strong. Hell, I bet there are plenty of places in America that work that way.

If it really is your dream, go for it, guys. If it's just something that you enjoy fantasizing about...

It IS a really nice life in theory, but i'm way too used to the niceties of city life. I feel like such a life would be both extremely satisfying, but also leave me with a sense of... emptiness. Like i'm not doing anything to leave my mark in this world, if you catch my drift.

Also, Harvest Moon doesn't take into account a lot of real problems from real farming. Tending to animals is EXTREMELY messy work, tending to crops is tiresome as all living fuck, blazing sun erryday as you work on open fields, swarms of huge and varied insects (seriously, NEVER underestimate the size of farm spiders), and no internet or vidya (or time for either).

It's like living in East Germany. Looking at guides, there are like two interesting events per game-year. but when the first year alone takes hours and hours of real-time playing, in which you're grinding the same shit day after uneventful day, it's not worth continuing.

Those "places" would be a vast majority of the world. Even 1st world countries are like that. Take the US for example, as soon as you leave the coastal area's, it immediately turns into Farmland and small towns. This goes for All states, just stay away from major water sources like large lakes or Oceans.

Dunno about Europe, but in the US, there's not much of a difference. Technology does not disappear as soon as you leave city limit's. Even internet speeds are the same.

Personally, I think owning land, and building a house upon/ working it is the ultimate mark upon history. Outside of being famous (which is a hell of a lot harder than working a farm).
>Also, Harvest Moon doesn't take into account a lot of real problems from real farming. Tending to animals is EXTREMELY messy work, tending to crops is tiresome as all living fuck, blazing sun erryday as you work on open fields, swarms of huge and varied insects (seriously, NEVER underestimate the size of farm spiders),
this 100%
>and no internet or vidya (or time for either).
No. internet [in the US] is not only available, but sometimes faster in the country. And although Farming is hard work, a lot of it is automated now days. You also dont have to tend to animals AND crops, you specialize in one area, not both. I'm not sure if you've seen the inside of some farming vehicles or not, but the higher end ones often have TV's built into them. So you basically stop your vidya every five minutes or so to turn around, then go back to your game.

If either of you have played the farming sim game on steam, its about 80% like that.

I really loced the first Harvest Moon. Any good ones after that? Preferably on the PsP-DS?

I remember playing one on the Playstation a few years ago and it was horrible. Long loading times, really slow moving and gigantic to explore(which wouldn't be half bad were it not for said atrocious loading times)

Anonymous Sun Apr 21 17:59:44 2013 No.509910

>>509768
Friends of Mineral Town for the GBA is kind of a remake of the Playstation game without bad loading times, and it plays a lot like the SNES game (I know you said DS, I'm going to assume you can play GBA too). Harvest Moon DS also plays similar but there's a lot of added bullshit mechanics like crop leveling and a bunch of shit you have to do before you can get married.

There's plenty of other Harvest Moon games on the DS, and a couple on the PSP, but I wouldn't recommend them to you because they don't play that similarly

you were playing back to nature. if your biggest gripe with the game was the loading times, you might be okay with the psn version. there's one loading screen when you boot up a save or i guess when you start a new game, at least on ps3. i would assume it's the same for psp since it loads the data from an iso. personally, i think btn is a little slow in everything from the length of the days to the time it takes to get anywhere to the text speed. like they made the distance to any given location longer to offset how much longer the days are and that just doesn't work. before i bash the game too much, though, i want to say that do still really enjoy it
friends of mineral town for gba is a remake of that one and is smoother from what i've played of it. my biggest complaint would be those chicken noises in the menu. what is that i mean it's like come on
harvest moon 64 is my favorite. i feel that from the snes version it adds just the right amount of depth while maintaining simplicity. most common complaint about this one seems to be that you have to open the menu to access anything in your bag, which causes the game to take a second to reload the environment for whatever area you're in. you can still toss something into your bag quickly, though. for most of what you do it's no big deal, but it lengthens the shipping process

the soundfont they use just ain't that good. also i wish the summer theme were longer than like 30 seconds. i heard it on the soundtrack before playing the game and i thought it was an event song, like the character themes. that town theme is pretty happenin' though

My personal favourite is the Playstation one, Back to Nature. It's basically the same as the SNES HM (different town and characters, though) but it just has more of everything.

There's a pair of GBA remakes of it called Friends of Mineral Town and More Friends of Mineral Town (the former with the same male protag as BtN, the latter with a female one who can romance and marry the bachelors). They have more content than BtN but the sound, graphics and controls are understandably worse. Which is preferable depends on your tastes.

Personally I like "Harvest Moon GB". It's also the most dumbed down version of the game. No dating, no parents, few storms, It's like HM for beginners. A lot of people think it's the most boring one for that reason though.

It (HM:GB) is a good game for a boring Sunday. Just lay on the couch and get your laptop/gameboy/PSP/whatever goin'. You may fall asleep after a few hours.

To be honest, I have no idea, but I enjoyed it a lot back in 2000 or so. It does get kinda repetitive though.

The SNES game is the only one I was ever really able to get into much, even though I have several other newer ones as well.
I also played the Gameboy version a bit, as it was the first one I got legitimately (after having played the SNES version on an emulator), but unfortunately my copy was bugged so that if you turned in the hoe (? or maybe it was sickle... one of the tools anyway) to the gnome to get it upgraded to golden, he'd never give it back or even mention it ever again. IIRC, I tried the same thing on an emulator and found that it worked there, so presumably my copy is either faulty, or it's an issue with the specific version I have (European). In any case, the GB version is just a very simplified version of the SNES game, and not really worth playing if you can play the SNES version instead IMO.

It's also the thing that people in these threads most complain about.

It was the first time I learned that this game was so repetitive that I was tricking myself into thinking I did what I was supposed to everyday. I restarted the last save from the night before that, but I was so pissed at myself.

>>532395
The few I have played start with a ruined farm and a time limit (usually 3 years). When it ends, you get an ending based on what you did in that time. Other than that you can do whatever you like, the game will not end earlier unless you get pregnant.

I played Harvest Moon all the time as a kid. I recently started playing Magical Melody (its okay but fuck the animations are slow and frustrating).

I'll be planting corn for the second time this year (it's part of my graduate school research on crop insects). It's not nearly as simple as watering it everyday and shoving cobs in your knapsack.

I laugh at the thought of paying the villagers extra money to use seed that's been treated with herbicides and insecticides to to protect your yield. Next thing you know, Ray was poisoned from fishing in a nearby water hole. Turns out your chemicals leached into the pond and now you're getting sued and evicted by the village for violating the EPA guidelines. Your wife leaves you and takes the kids.

Now THAT would be fun.

I kind of want to build a moddable Harvest Moon clone, now.

The base game would have dinosaurs for your domesticated beasts! And all the waifus would be milfs! And you ride around on a Triceratops! The saddlebags are actually his stomach! He regurgitates your items on command!

(This is the worst idea ever, and yet I still want to dooo ittttt)

It was the weirdest thing too, since I played DOOM, Tribes, intense shmups while high, but Harvest Moon was too much for me. Also, I know I could've shut the music off, but it's an old TV, no remote, and I was pretty much couch locked at that point.
