Harvest Gamer - Harvest is Plentiful, Labourers Few

  I saw this thing, an online queue: I vaguely remember "standing online on a queue" during a past Black Friday sale from another store. EMPHASIS ON VAGUELY.  While I understand the sentiment (to save bandwidth, lots of visitors?, etc.), isn't it the point to have an online store so you can purchase something immediately? Hopefully without a queue. It's just weird, but it's a thing. Fortunately, I only had to wait about 6 minutes TO BROWSE, since my lunch was done and I was going back to work. 

Fantasy Life is a simulation game on the Nintendo 3DS which was simply amazing. Fantasy Life played as a delightful fantasy action RPG with a personal touch of immersion charm to it. You can play and switch between 12 classes at any time and complete various tasks in an open-world fantasy RPG. You can also buy houses and be able to decorate them. I liked Fantasy Life better than Rune Factory for the Nintendo 3DS on the overall gameplay. But Fantasy Life lacked the further character development that Rune Factory had. That is, you can get married in Rune Factory, and you can only improve your social bond with your ally in Fantasy Life. Honestly, I didn't even hire any allies on my first playthrough.  Heck even the My Time games flourish in character development, but you're stuck as a craftsman there. Fantasy Life is definitely worth your cozy games collection. However the sequel is delayed which was supposed to release this October 10. The game is slated now to release on April 2...

I've lost confidence with The Sims 4 after seeing this ad before I could start the game. I am back playing Sims 2 again. Also, I'm trying to see on getting back on Sims 3 but with all content. I just have three reasons why I lost confidence with Sims 4. 1. Because seeing an ad on my game makes me ask why I even bother. I've pre-ordered the last two expansion packs. Then I see a pre-order to the Life and Death expansion pack -- on my game screen. So I wonder, what worth do my last two purchases brought me? In my case, I installed the packs, launched the game, and then see such ad. I haven't even played the new game yet!  I absolutely see a saturated shop of never ending folly. The game feels worthless now, because I can't find the appreciation for the ones I have. There was a time when players bought all of the content. AND that they were still eager to buy the next pack. These days, it feels like please stop . I'm inundated with content for sale and they still p...

Life By You has announced its cancellation. The announcement was made on the Paradox Interactive Forums via Paradox General Discussion. Having it announced on the PDX general discussion instead of the Life By You forums means that the Life By You forum will likely shut down soon.  The game has been cancelled due to the game lacking on some key areas according to Paradox Deputy CEO, Mattias Lilja. Which may translate to simply dissatisfaction with the current builds and delaying the game is not their answer. There are other sides to the disappointing story about funding or corporate matters. One of the developers posted an article , stating that they were only informed two weeks before the early access. The biggest selling point for me is its supposed open world and concurrent gameplay. Rod Humble described it as your neighborhood would slowly transform as your game progresses. The other selling point to me is its direct competition with The Sims. Based on the reception on my bad e...

The Sims 4 is adding new content via a Daily Login award mechanic. New weekly content will be unlocked that can then be claimed after logging in a few times a week. At least they're free  but I have some thoughts as it is a timed event. Perhaps they're testing this model for Project Rene.  First of all, what is the harm in adding the new content without logging into the game? The daily login mechanic looks like the phase to turn The Sims into a completely online game. I won't dub Project Rene as Sims 5 yet as its concept functions closer to a spin-off Sims (aka Sims Online). Obviously, having a daily login mechanic belong to online games. Perhaps they want to bring back the playerbase -- sort of?  Granted that the daily login adds a sense of urgency, I don't see any difference if they simply serve new content without the "battle-pass" gimmick. Also, new content can be announced on their social media.  They've done it with the pools and everybody was simply...

Mozzarina of the window, what is your wisdom? When I saw the Palworld ads as early as 2021, I knew it was going to sell. But I admit I also thought it was a cheeky game resembling a monster collector with guns and would end up as a vaporware. The Palworld ad was rough too when Pocket Pair was still using Unity.  Fast forward to the January 19, 2024, I bought the EA of Palworld on Steam. They did it! I didn't think twice of getting it. It was interesting at least. Now, I'm glad I'm playing it. This article is long overdue on Harvest Gamer, but I wanted to make sure it's out there. Palworld is a game I've been looking for . That is, I finally found a game that needs to be played and installed on all of my machines. Why play Palworld? Synopsis Pros Singleplayer and Multiplayer capable Pals are not a gimmick Fixed Map Design At 60fps Cons Need More Base Creativity Five Pal Party Conclusion Why play Palworld?  (top) The premise is simple. You catch Pals, build a base, a...
