[...] The Buttomasher himself has also made a contribution. My guess is that he’s been somewhat busy changing WP themes, so his review of Harvest Moon is in fact something that people might have already seen. But just in case you don’t care about Harvest Moon, he also rants about the Sims, which is something that everyone can identify with. [...]

Ok its fun until u die but then u have to delete ur file and start all over (boring).
So when i restarted it and sold all my animals, and just slepped throut the whole game then it was so much fun. So i sugjest u sell ur animals. then stick the another controlar in the 3rd slot and alternate start and z on the controlar in the 3rd slot and when u get to ur 3rd year email me at buggy3604@sbcglobal.net and tell me what happened.
So don’t forget to email me at buggy3604@sbcglobal.net

Zaphod – what Kaocrat said! It is great that there are enough titles to satisfy a lot of different tastes. Only I see this broad sweep of tastes being distilled into a few manufactured “genres” that may not necessarily appeal to a lot of people.

And that’s a shame.

And Kaocrat, I’m not saying Harvest Moon is a bad game – it just didn’t appeal to me.

See, that’s what’s so great about gaming today – there are so many titles and genres that everything doesn’t have to be targeted at one generic audience. There is definitely a certain type of personality that absolutely *loves* these sorts of games, and probably would find many of your favorite titles rather boring. Some people are a lot less interested in entering and traveling *through* a world as they are in managing and maintaining all the little details of that world from the outside, and for them Harvest Moon really is a great game. The mark of a great work of art (or media, or whatever) is not in being a good experience for all, but in being a truly great experience for some, and in that regard Harvest Moon is a success; it’s just not your thing. That’s ok; there’s nothing wrong with you if you don’t appreciate it, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad game or that those who love it are somehow wrong or lacking in taste.

Hmmm… I rented harvest moon for a week, and the day after we returned it me and my wife were out to buy it. She is addicted to the game, the only game she will pop into the Gamecube and play when I am not around. I think it’s ok, but it is really slow.

I actually liked Harvest Moon a lot at first … but then I sat it down for a while and when I finally picked up the GBA again I had virtually no idea what the heck was going on. So I looked up a few guides and realized the game is insanely complicated, so I was trapped between not knowing where I started and being overwhelmed on where it was going.

A game I might go back to once I’m done with a few others.

Yeah, my sim had the bladder of a 3-year old girl. Goodness that got annoying. And I forgot to mention the controls! Talk about backwards. Not fun at all.

On a side note, I imagine there’s a WordPress plugin for editing comments. I’ll have to look into that…
