Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Could Be An Amazing Remake
In 2003, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life was released on the Nintendo Gamecube, and later in 2004 Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life was released as the female-character version of the game that brought a few bug and glitch fixes with it. Now, about 20 years later, these titles are being combined and getting a remake called Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life for the Nintendo Switch. Similarly, Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town also received a remake through Story of Seasons in 2020 for the Nintendo Switch that merged both the male and female version of the game. The trailer shows that Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life will certainly live up to a nostalgic remake,…

Rune Factory 5 Feels Incomplete and Nearly Unplayable
The initial release for Rune Factory 5 was delayed late last year due to COVID complications but finally released a year later on the Nintendo Switch! The big farming simulator games – Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, and Rune Factory – haven’t been doing so hot on the jump to the Nintendo Switch. Last year, Story of Season’s Pioneer of Olive Town was an unsatisfying dumpster fire while Harvest Moon’s attempt around the same time was similarly unenjoyable with equally horrible feedback and reviews. Rune Factory 5 has fallen in the same boat and it’s been made clear that the publishers for Story of Seasons and Rune Factory haven’t quite…

How to Fix Frame Rate in Rune Factory 5
The Rune Factory 5 release has faced a lot of backlash due to the extreme lag and performance issues. Even if you’re not the type of player to care about performance, the frame drops are very noticeable and frustrating. Personally, every aspect of the game has been challenging to enjoy due to the lag issues alone since it affects routine gameplay. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used the watering can on the wrong square, my character has passed out a few times since the game wouldn’t react fast enough to defend from a monster attack, and the bean toss festival was downright frustrating. I had no hopes…

Shin Megami Tensei V…Better Than Persona V?
Shin Megami Tensei V is the first game I’ve played in the series, and I am enthralled with the apocalyptic universe that I’ve been dumped in to. This series is all about the darkness and cruelty of the world, offering a reminder that the odds are often stacked against humanity, caught between wars between angels and demons, and this addition to the series is no different. The Shin Megami Tensei universe is a desecrated world of despair and ruin, with plenty of challenging and unforgiving bosses, really cool demon lore, and you get the opportunity to recruit powerful demons to fight at your side using fusion and negotiation…at a cost!…

Tips for Getting Started with Savage Raid Content in Final Fantasy XIV
With the Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker expansion being released soon, this means the brand new Pandemonium high-end raiding content (savage raid content) will release soon as well. Shadowbringers is finally coming to an end, which means several players are coming back to look for static groups to join, while newer players are eager to learn and begin their savage raiding journey. I often get asked the question when I’m streaming “What are you doing?” (savage raid content) and “How do I get started doing savage content in Final Fantasy XIV“? A lot of people come to my stream and express interest, but they don’t know where to start, and the…

An FAQ For The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Version 2.0 Update
The final Animal Crossing: New Horizons version 2.0 free update has been released and with this release came a lot of additional features and gameplay. Since there is an incredibly enormous amount of new content, I figured it would be a great idea to create a major FAQ page containing all that the 2.0 version update had to offer. So without further ado, here is a list of everything that is new, including how and when to unlock particular features and gameplay mechanics. #AnimalCrossing: New Horizons Direct 10.15.2021https://t.co/T1GXs2Kq2R — Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) October 15, 2021 Shown above is a video of Nintendo’s version 2.0 trailer plus information about the…

Why I Will Continue Playing ‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ After The Final Update
On October 15, 2021, Nintendo confirmed in their Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) trailer that version 2.0 update and its Happy Home Paradise DLC will be the final major update to the game that has sold over 33 million copies since its launch in March 2020. Animal Crossing: New Horizons‘ version 2.0 update and Happy Home Paradise DLC will be the final major free and paid content updates, and apparently, it’s making plenty of players upset. What does this mean? Well, it means that Nintendo will (assumedly) not be making anymore content for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, even though it’s their second bestselling game, right after Mario Kart with over…

What Happened to Square Enix’s ‘Project Triangle Strategy’?
Earlier this year, Square Enix revealed a new single player turn-based tactical RPG strategy game for the Nintendo Switch, Project Triangle Strategy. This really excited me, as I’ve always loved games like Fire Emblem and the Final Fantasy Tactics series; however, there hasn’t been any recent announcements or updates on progress mentioned of its estimated release in 2022. I played the free demo on the Nintendo Switch, and there was an overwhelming amount of content to dive into within a very short amount of time. Some of this was to be expected, but overall I was disappointed. Now I know this is just a demo and Square Enix has stated…

Best PC Video Games for Couples
Single player is great and all, but playing games is even better with a friend or loved one, and usually makes for an amazing stay-at-home date night for couples! Multiplayer editions of video games are becoming more common these days but I still find the amount of cozy, couple-friendly video games to be nearly non-existent—most of them are a little too challenging and stressful for a sit-in date with your partner. I took to Google for some recommendations and I came up short with the results: instead of cozy, friendly co-op games, I found competitive MOBAs and other challenging or stressful multiplayer recommendations that didn’t suit my needs. I asked…
