Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning

[marshmallowXO]

My boyfriend bought this for me yesterday, and I'm absolutely loving it!
I'd been warned by reviews that the game pace itself was too slow but I've found it no problem at all. It's sort of like a slower paced Animal Crossing with farming features etc.


Does anyone else have this game?

i have it but i dont play it anymore
it was fun for me but after playing it for a while i got bored of it. i should get back into it ;;

 

[marshmallowXO]

i've already managed to sink a good 5 hours and 41 minutes into it. D:

i got it at the same time as i bought fire emblem and honestly..... its really boring to me. ive only played one sitting of it and ive had it for 3 weeks now. ive been playing fire emblem and pokemon

The first season was far too long honestly, especially since it felt like one big tutorial. :/ It does kind of pick up pace but still it was dreadfully dull.

 

[BellGreen]

I played it but it was honestly really dull with not a lot of content. I wish they stuck with better storyline like Animal Parade.

I guess it's sorta just to teach a lot of first-timers how to be completely prepared. I'm enjoying it because I found it infuriating on older versions when you just have to sorta figure out what to do.

I'm also quite into slow-paced games so…

Slow paced games aren't terrible, I just hate having things drag on for ages though. Kinda what I like about Rune Factory, you have set your own pace. Farm or dungeon crawl?

 

[marshmallowXO]

I haven't played Rune Factory unfortunately I've heard good things about it though!

I do like how in Harvest Moon though you get to the part with the Forest Sprites. Things have started to get interesting :3

i havent liked any of the recent harvest moons as much as i liked DS and DS Cute

they seemed more... difficult to me? i liked how you could plant an absurd amount of crops and then get the harvest sprites you unlocked to water them for you and do other things for you. i really miss that actually

 

[marshmallowXO]

I haven't really played many Harvest Moon games. It could also be why I'm enjoying it so much xD

imo, rune factory is way better than harvest moon. there's a lot more to do and the characters/plot are much more interesting

Yeah I'm a Harvest Moon addict and I enjoy it a lot, but for some reason I don't like it as much as the older ones...might change my mind once I put more hours into it though. Been a bit addicted to ACNL lately lol.

My whole playing experience was fueled by my feel for Neil. Seriously. I even go him to reverse confess and propose. Am I pathetic? And Rune Factory ounds interesting!

For those of you wondering, here the gist of the beginning of most, if not all, Rune Factory Games.

1. Character loses amnesia.
2. Character lands up in a Town.
3. Characters help said character with farming, battling monsters, etc.

That's not exactly how it goes, but it's kind of like that. Rune Factory 4 lets you do what you want to do, like using Prince Points to host festivals, make buildings, etc. It's pretty similar to New Leaf!

Back on-topic: I got bored of ANB after the first year. It was pretty slow in the first season. After that, I started to play only at least once a week. However, when I do play, it's for at least 3 hours. I never really liked the handheld games other than DS.

The stupid frame rate issue put me off the game bigtime.

Ah, yes, the first season tutorial from HELL.

 

[DJStarstryker]

It picks up after the first month. Then you'll no longer have time to do all the things you want to do in one day. O_O

 

[Amnesia]

I guess I like the ANB xD Just not as addicting because when I play HM games, my main goal is to marry lol.
I already married Neil and gonna go for Allen in the next file but I'm dead lazy to unlock a salon again.

Are you talking about Tale of Two Towns or A New Beginning? Didn't notice any issues with A New Beginning.
