I think indies are indieslop 99.9% of the time but SV is one of those games that saw a franchise that became shit and thought "fuck it I'll do it myself" and it did massive numbers. AAA companies got caught with their pants down. They've always ignored all the no ball no gun genres for ages now

What does SV do different than the yearly Harvest Moon/Story of Season games? Is it just better presentation? Better writing, music, art, etc? Personally I dislike SV's artstyle so I never got into it. Everything looks like it's been put through a stretch torture rack and the characters are your typical ugly western design (mods can fix that I guess).

Japs deserved it for refusing to release their games of this genre on pc for the longest time.

>>728935797
Just from a visual standpoint it's decent. Pixels are good and the best games were pixelated. You can do more when you don't bog yourself down with the "cutting edge" graphics just for the sake of it.

The entire JRPG genre is just a fan ripoff of Wizardry. Everyone knows this. The makers of all the classic JRPGs attested to this. Japan fucking loves the shit out of Wizardry. As soon as the original studio closed, multiple Japanese companies pounced as whatever rights they could and started making their own Wizardry games, and today the proper trademark rights are owned by a Japanese company named Drecom. The JRPG genre only exists because they loved the shit out of early western RPGs and wanted to clone it for the next 40 years

Like >>728936201 said he made a game when the niche was not being filled by other devs and it paid off. He isn't some faceless suit and didn't abandon the game as soon as he got the cash, kept updating it and is even making a new one. So if that is not deserving of success, what is?
>>
Yes, the farming/dating sim combo is invented by japs. Dating sims are invented by japs. But then again they deserve it for not trying to reach the west, get fucked.
>>
>>728936728
SV has more variety when it comes to main mechanics. Mainly the farming part of the farming sim.
In modern SoS games you typically have a plot that's 6x10 spots. That's fucking nothing.
Crop variety? Sure, here's three different things per season.
Animals? Yea maybe you can have four of them, if you're lucky.

im not really familiar with jrpgs so ill take your word for it, but isnt the fact that we differentiate them by calling them jrpgs evidence enough theyve evolved into their own thing as things tend to do over 40 years lol

It's a better game, but the secret trick is that it managed to enter the mainstream female gaming scene that doesn't actually have much competition beyond the Sims.

Turns out they really like farming.

He worked 10 hours a day on his game and then when he was finished he would go work for another 5-6 hours as an usher. All he did was work all day, every single day not even resting on weekends for 5+ years.

Yeah, he's rich as fuck, but he's not resting on his laurels. The reason you don't have anything is because you think like this. Can he just laze around now and do almost nothing and coast on his millions? Yes. He's not ever going to do that because that's not who he is. He's probably still putting in 8-10 hours of productivity every day because that's what he knows.

People who are smart and who work hard succeed in life. If not immediately then eventually. Period.

The speed of gameplay. In SV everything is quick and snappy, animation are all partial seconds in lenght. This may not seem like it would matter much. But you are tiling your farm a few squares at a time for the majority of the time.
In harvest moon, its already midnight when I run dry on stamina, in stardew I probably used it all, ate something amd used all that stamina too and still have time to do my daily chats and forest sweep. It makes the world of difference. 3d graphics based harvest moon move so slow it isnt even worth playing

He's earned it though. He's the type of person that would have ended up being rich no matter what field he chose.
He started from scratch working in minimum wage jobs just to fund his passion project. He made everything himself, from engine to art to music. Only few people have this kind of talent and devotion.

You dumb nigger. You absolute buffoon
how about gameplay? You know, the thing in the word video GAME
The game isn't drawn out like other farm sims with long openings, tutorials, cutscenes, constant delays in every input you do to make it look cinematic or animated. You plant shit and it gets planted, you can cross the map in 30 seconds, you have more than enough in the game to plan out and do to cover 100+ hours and it has fully working built in multiplayer where the other player has their own full home can plant their own shit build has their own relationship meters with the NPCs etc
Why do you think Terraria is so popular? This graphic, art style, fidelity shit will always, ALWAYS be second fiddle to gameplay.

>people don't have an appetite for shooter games despite no good one having been released in 10 years because they still have the one that released 10 years ago!
People who enjoy a genre will generally want and buy new good games in that genre, especially when everyone else stops making them, either literally, or releasing them so infrequently and with so little to them that something like SDV stands heads above them.

>>728942163
>Even that sucks
Perhaps but the farming gameplay and what immediately surrounds it (foraging, fishing, stamina management) is better than Rune Factory.
That's the thing, it does not matter how shit SDV is, it's still better than its competitors as a farming game.
If you're playing a farming game for waifus, combat, or the art style, that's fine and yeah, I think Rune Factory has it beat in that regard, all of that can be true though and SDV will still outsell it by a huge margin.
>>
>>728936728
Prior to the SoS Grand Bazaar remake all the farming games were shit. I think SV is overrated as shit but when you compare to the competition on PC it was always the better choice. Helps that it's cheap as shit, too.

It's a good game.
