It looks like an edutainment game

Most people I've talked to said that it was the big box that got them to rent it to begin with

And the size of the box leads you to believe there's a big stupid playskool-like peripheral inside.

And as a kid, alone in the rental store

You assume "Am I gonna have to ask the guy at the desk to go get something..?"

Shy kid, target demo of RPGs, not going to do that.

But yeah I had a friend tell me Harvest Moon was great but I didn't believe him, because why would I?

Very understated reasons for Earthbound's poor performance.

lol

Harvest Moon is great until it hits the same wall Sims does.

A wall that Animal Crossing HOPS OVER.

Animal Crossing sorta keeps.. unfolding, if you want?

But Harvest Moon hits a wall where there is NOTHING left to do.

i've had Stardew Valley on my pc for years and still have never played it

Stardew's good.

Play it.

Stardew Valley is good yeah

it's p good

start with mods?

It's not the greatest thing in the world.

No, just play it vanilla

cuz thats what i usually do in games that have mods

but

But you'll have enough fun.

You can fight stuff.

i never played it with mods because mods are too much of a hassle

It's Harvest Moon with a battle cave.

still to this day i have never played vanilla Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout NV or Fallout 4

I've never played any Fallout.

Stardew Valley is borderline insidious in sucking away your time. All the fun stuff happens in the mornings, and it saves when you go to bed. So you're like "ehhh just let me check the weather on the TV..." "ehh I'll just check my mail" and all of a sudden you're picking your crops watering your other ones and exploring the dungeon

i've never played any of those games modded :/

```mods are too much of a hassle```

i have 1200 hours of Skyrim logged in my Steam and half of it is just trying to get a stable build

Fallout 3 is awful and I do not understand why people like it

steam workshop has spoiled me

FO:3 is my fav fallout

I do not understand

if i can't install mods with 2 clicks i'm out

and stardew doesn't have workshop support

you can't go Steam Workshop for a Bethesda game, you really gotta go hard

I actually think changing it to an FPS was a decent idea but it was done so poorly
