Friendly reminder that Stardew Valley was entirely created by One person.
Eric Barone.
It took him four years to create the game, and he made everything. I mean Everything. From the game coding, to the art, to the music. Eric Barone did it all. He knew next to nothing about game coding, pixel art, etc., and he learned it all himself. On top of that he was working as an usher at a movie theater while he was working on SDV.
Animal Crossing GameCube was so heartless. Villagers would randomly paint your roof. It was so hard to make money. One time a villager sold me a mystery item without even asking and took all the money I was carrying. 12 thousand bells. It was a pitfall seed.
also. under certain circumstances forgetting to save will get your face taken away
You guys are forgetting the best part
animals when you’re rude to them in new leaf: haha you’re such a kidder! oh well have a good day!
animals when you’re rude to them on gamecube: haha it’s funny how much of an ugly bitch you are, you absolute degenerate 🙂 i’m going to take everything you love, do you know that? you’ll never be shit. you’re going to die alone in the woods with no one around to even hear your last words 🙂
there is an easter egg in classic 90′s point-and-click adventure game for 6 year olds, freddi fish and the case of the missing kelp seeds, where if you mess with the game’s .ini files you can watch a fully animated scene of the main character freddi gleefully feeding their best friend to an eel, entrails dripping from its mouth as it does so, and while this sounds like a bad creepypasta it is actually a 100% real actual thing they really actually put in the game
Most games by that company have weird stuff hidden in the .ini files that you can enable in the game if you know what you’re doing
beating breath of the wild in under 40 minutes is an incredible feat and also fucking excellent in the context of the game. ganon spends 100 fucking years preparing this onslaught, building energy, getting ready to tear the world apart, and one elf twink wakes up butt-ass naked in a cave and legs it to the castle and kicks ganon’s ass apart in under an hour with a sword he found along the way
Once you realise that a game’s worth is not in its perfection, but in your ownenjoyment level, then you’re going to have a lot more fun playing video games
Ok, this goes into some research I read on the different types of gamers.
They are:
Killers- Think your competitive types, they’re going to be playing games like Modern Warfare, Halo, and other competitive games. They get enjoyment by winning over their opponent.
Achievers- Going for the 100% route, trying to get the high score, etc. Think any game with increasing difficulty and esoteric achievements. They play games to try to achieve perfection within the game.
Explorers- They just want to explore the game- think more storytelling or immersive experiences, etc. They enjoy gaming because it allows them to escape and engage in a world and really take it all in.
Socializers- Found more in MMOs, where there can be real community building, they play games to meet and work with other people.
Killers and Achievers tend to be a lot holier than thou, but they’re all valid, so long as you’re having fun in your own way.
This is by far the best addition to this post, thank you for the analysis! I honestly didnt know about these different types, it’s really interesting!
