    Rune Factory 5 Feels Incomplete and Nearly Unplayable

    March 29, 2022 / 0 Comments

    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

    March 27, 2022 / 0 Comments

    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…

    Exploring Rune Factory 4: Special

    March 15, 2021 / 0 Comments

    I’ve played the Harvest Moon titles since I was old enough to pick up a controller on the Nintendo 64, so I’m no stranger to the gameplay and the mechanics.  Since the release of Story of Season’s 25th anniversary game was releasing soon, I wanted to find a game that I hadn’t played yet that would hold me over to its release. Rune Factory 4: Special was recommended to me by friends, and it was a pleasant, albeit unexpected and unique, surprise. Ultimately, I decided to pick it up over Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town since it looked like Marvelous really dropped the ball on their 25th anniversary…

    How to Make Friends in ‘Friends of Mineral Town’

    August 25, 2020 / 0 Comments

    In Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town, your relationships are based on your interactions with villagers, nature sprites, livestock, and pets. There are actually two hidden measurements to rank your relationship with the villagers, one for normal townies while the other measurement is used for the bachelor/bachelorette. They are known as Friendship Points (FP) and Love Points (LP). To see your current relationship status, open the main menu by using the X Button on your Nintendo Switch controller, and then tab over to the Relationships Menu using the shoulder buttons. You can see your relationship with the villagers, nature sprites, livestock on your farm, and your pets. What Are…

    I Tried To Kill My Chickens In ‘Friends of Mineral Town’

    July 23, 2020 / 0 Comments

    In a perfect world, your farm animals will never get sick or die from old age, and that’s exactly what you get in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. In the remake however, things have changed. Let me preface this by saying, in every Harvest Moon title before now, you could kill your animals by neglecting them—maybe you accidentally hit them with a tool while doing field work, or perhaps you couldn’t make it outside to feed them during a storm. In the original games, your animals could even die from old age. In fact, in Harvest Moon DS, to convince the Witch Princess to marry you, you had to…

Better yet, if you attend the tea party, the Nature Sprites will gift you a super rare item—here’s how to befriend the Nature Sprites and attend their seasonal tea party. Bear in mind, some of these can be spoiler-y. If you’re looking for a clean experience, this guide may not be right for you.

    5 Best Changes In the ‘Friends of Mineral Town’ Remake

    July 17, 2020 / 1 Comment

    The Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town remake has received several quality-of-life improvements, not to mention the new art-style, and most of which I can’t argue with. However, there were a few changes that stood out amongst the rest. If you’re an old fan wondering why it is now referred to as Story of Seasons, the short answer is that the newer games now go by their original Japanese title—Marvelous split from Natsume in 2014, and since Natsume owned the rights to the Harvest Moon title, the name has been changed to Story of Seasons. Some of these can be spoiler-y, so if you’re looking for a clean experience,…

    I’m far from experiencing everything Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town has to offer, and I’m happy to admit that so far, it’s living up to my expectations. You return to Mineral Town to take over your late Grandfather’s neglected farm. You must till the land, make the land profitable, and who knows? You may find your soulmate in Mineral Town. What does that work entail? Everything a farmer typically does, including using a hoe to till soil, breaking up rocks and wood to make way for crops, upgrading your farm buildings, and taking care of your livestock. Every day has it’s own challenges as you learn the shop’s…

    The New Livestock Affection Limit In ‘Friends of Mineral Town’

Choosing to reach the maximum affection limit with your livestock will increase the quality of their byproducts, and will improve your profits over time. Bear in mind, some of these can be spoiler-y.
