I still am going to give MineCraft a chance; I'm just saying the type of game it is usually doesn't appeal to me. But since I have it, I'll still try it again at some point. Sunk cost fallacy and all ...
See here's the thing: it's not the graphics. I've enjoyed ugly games before. It's more that I've just never been interested in building things in a game. Even leveling up characters can be a chore to me. I honestly prefer to have a clear challenge laid out for me and overcome it, where building-oriented games and RPGs often turn me off with ... I googled and still couldn't find the term I've seen used for having too many choices, but that.
Now, I'm not saying that I'll neglect a game that lets you choose how to tackle it or what upgrades you get or allows you to build etc. But I need to be eased into it and hate large menus in a game. I didn't like having so much text thrown at me in the Minecraft tutorial either. I love to read, just not in a video game where I'd rather baby step my way through learning by doing.
Anyway, did you think the inventory in Stardew looked an awful lot like Minecraft? I did. Of course, they both might be borrowing from older games I never played. Maybe Harvest Moon always had that type of inventory and I just wouldn't know, having never played it.
No, not quite. I skimmed the article, so I know that you like DS for atmosphere and not some of the other reasons people have and there is a game you feel captures some of that magic outside the franchise. I just didn't read much about that game, cause I'm still proctoring an exam at the moment.
The fellatio thing is of course a joke ... As is your BLLLEEEEEPPPPPPEEEEPPPEPEP HAVE A DR> PEPPER AND A FROWN
I didn't really pay much attention to anything else you said, but I want you to know I'd blow you either way.
"The guide wasn't always correct, and I spent a good hour and a half searching for an item that wasn't in the spot that the guide said it would be."
Sounds about right. I hate when there's that one little thing in a guide that's not exactly what you're needing or throws you off. Like when I need help with a certain version of an Adobe program and all the forums are talking about CS6 when CC 2017 is different enough that it doesn't give me what I need ...
I like how trophies add something to do in seemingly directionless games.
Replying cause I had the exact same comment and question.
I'd have to hear you riff something before I knew whether I think you'd be good on the show. Delivery has a lot to do with it, and I've only ever read your stuff, not heard your voice ... Aliiive in our heearts*ahem* Catholic school, sorry.
At first, I thought they did a riff on McDonald's Super Mario toys and got excited lol.
I mean I've played it and i have it (really just bought it for computer teacher mom who never used it) but ... Eh. Maybe I'll try again some day.
Cool. That's one I think I'd like, so thanks for the suggestion!
