Harvest Moon-like game comes to PC and everything points to this being good so I choose this as a low priced game to get. Beat out Super Hot. So this and Disgaea should keep me occupied for a while.

 

inb4 this game is $25 for FLD.

 

Edit: This game might be a productivity problem...

Damn Daniel! Back at it with those indie games!

Couldn't resist. I only played for about an hour or so late last night but I can already tell that this game is going to be addictive in the same way Terraria was.

Damn FLD (and Mal)! This is the first I've heard of this game but it looks right up my alley. Is there combat??

Yup. It's basic as in sword swings of Link to the Past. At the moment, I am unaware of any other weapons. While basic, I find it kind of hard once you get past fighting slimes. One reason is that I find combat a bit clunky with M+KB so you'll have to be slow-ish and deliberate in your actions. I haven't tried it yet but it might be easier to fight with a gamepad since with using the mouse, there is a disconnect between where your mouse cursor is and where you swing if it happens to be behind your character. It shouldn't be the case with a gamepad.

 

With that all said, combat is limited to the mines. This game is great in that you could in theory ignore the mines and combat. You can farm your way into wealth and just buy all the ore and metal you need. I wager that you could do the opposite as well and just mine and ignore farming. At the moment, I'm having trouble paying attention to my farm, mine, town and friendships all at once.

This is a game that should be able to run on a potato, though, so unless you just plain don't own a PC I don't see the need to wait for a port.  That said, I wouldn't count a port out just yet if this game takes off and becomes a runaway hit, which seems likely at the moment.  Sony has been pretty good about keeping their eye on hot new indie releases and I wouldn't be surprised if they start courting the developer.

I gave it a whirl and yeah, the menus are all cursor driven so it's best to play with KB+M. Normal gameplay though is not really affected since you can just go old school and face every plant or rock you want to interact with... but I can see it helping with combat (it really becomes Zelda-like) but since you can switch control method on a fly, I can just switch to gamepad if I get swarmed by flies again. So yeah, if the dev can make the menus navigable on a gamepad, I can see this game getting ported to consoles.

 

With that said, an additional improvement the dev could do is to tie where the mouse cursor is to where the character is looking. Interactions will make you face that way. In the case of the gamepad, the right stick can allow you to interact with things diagonal from you. It would in a sense bring the gamepad up to parity with KB+M. With how the game visual is ran, it wouldn't look weird at all.

Figured I'd check to see if I could pick up The Uncharted Collection on the (very) cheap, so I went on eBay. I saw a few auctions about to end in 10-20 minutes, with people clearly pushing the totals up past £15-16 before postage (I could find it new for £20 inc. P&P) but I also spotted one about to end in 10 minutes, 0 bids, £10.00. So I put in a slightly higher bid just in case and went uncontested anyway. Nice!

For Threedy Ess:

Megaman Legacy Collection
Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash (sans amiibo)

Unfortunately I noticed a little bit of slowdown while playing Cutman's stage. I mean it doesn't play like complete ass, but it's noticeable. And as being one of the few people who bought Chibi-Robo on the Gamecube I found Zip Lash for cheap but declined the boxed version with the amiibo. Everyone in Chibi-Robo sounds like they are saying complete gibberish into a fan and its silly.

(Seriously GCN Chibi-Robo is like ~$60 used on Amazon)

Just decided to go for it because the Open Beta gelled with me so well.

 

10 hours later, I'm loving it. Seriously great loot-based action RPG. It's like Diablo: The Third Person Shooter. Any of y'all want to join me, add me on UPlay: Som_Tervo.

 

PS Destiny can go suck a fuck

Mario and Luigi Dream Team (Bros.) was in an Amazon lightening deal and it is supposed to be one of the good Marino RPGs which people seem to think are a bit hit or miss. Loved the reaction to the new one on Wii u which only had a thirty second clip but Seems to have been written off by the public at large. I. Thought it looked charming.
