  • If you’re unsure, buy a nice used ps4 with some games for dirt cheap to see if you like it. If you do, I suggest eventually moving forward with the PC route. Either a steam deck or a laptop and an Xbox controller. If you know you’re liking gaming you could go all out on a gaming desktop PC.

    Consoles are nice, but a PC game library is compatible for decades of games, and you can buy them for a lot less $ most of the time.

    Here’s the thing about SV: There’s no “losing”. No a right way, or a wrong way to play.

    You have the time limit of the day, but there’s no time limit of the game. If you don’t plant a lot or make much cash for an entire in game year, it doesn’t matter. Just go fight in the caves, or fish, or go around talking to people and getting relationships or whatever. The day is in a hurry, but you don’t have to be in one.

    That said; your direct complaint is “I have to do it myself?” Well, yes. There is a somewhat driving factor in the game, and that is that just like in real life, you’re trying to do work now, so you can do less work later. The driving factor of the game is completing the stories and also upgrading your stuff so the work is easier.

    But again, there isn’t much of a time limit.

    Also, it’s a farming game. Did you not expect to farm?



  • I’m old. I got into stardew valley for the same reason that ape made stardew valley. A love of Harvest Moon from Super Nintendo. He took that game and fleshed it out, then kept going, and he did it in a way that stayed true to the original Harvest Moon, which is something that just got lost along the way in actual Harvest Moon sequels.
