Am I missing something about the Hazardous Ruins in the desert, because aside from getting the sword on the first level, the loot seems to be largely worthless.

Oh, I was starting to think I'd seen all the equipment and the game just expected me to upgrade stuff I already had with Carol. Also lol: I told Arlo to break up with Nora, and the next day I found them at the Duck Pond not looking at each other

I finally got enough land to upgrade my house without having to get rid of my barn, now I can finally get married and live happily ever after with Aadit the chill rear end hippie from the tree farm and we'll never have problems again. If you have Ack feeding your animals, does he just pull from your plant fiber or is he gonna burn through my Aroma Apples and poo poo?

It feels like Cotton Llama prices are an exploit because of how profitable they are, but given how expensive land and the third tier homes and assembly platforms are, it also somehow feels completely intentional. (it also kind of sucks that cotton llamas are so lovely as mounts compared to well trained colorful llamas)

I know everyone's busy playing Trials of Mana in Collection of Mana for Nintendo Switch, or talking about the latest news from e3, but it appears they've put out a performance patch for Xbone and PS4 (with the Switch version coming soon)

Dana is such a weird character. She shows up so late in the game and seems to spend all her time at the mines area, a place you're not likely to travel to unless you're expressly going to visit her, she doesn't seem to show up for town events. It doesn't help that every character that shows up after her is a story NPC with no relationship values (though speaking of that: Boy is the endgame full of story NPCs) The Factory is good, I like being able to just dump my collected materials into its 300 slot material bin and forget about them. Does the Factory pull from Completed Materials, or do I have to move those to its Materials Bin first? Like, if I'm producing a lot of Charcoal and Carbon Steel Bars, will the Carbon Steel Bars pull from the completed Charcoal, or...?

Y'all all talk poo poo about Higgins but dude was prepared to break his own shoulder to save the squad. Can't wait to play the sequel, My Time At Duvos, where you get to chase down your deadbeat hippie husband and explain to him that neither the teddy bear nor the 400 attack power sword is sufficient apology for repeatedly stabbing you in the face, and also him ditching you doesn't count as a Divorce for the achievement either, which, what the gently caress my dude.

Eating at the restaurant is pretty cheap (check the sparkly bread at the counter), especially if you get the Daily Special, you can also find Dried Apple Slices in chests around town. But kloa is right, what you're eventually aiming for is a level 2 Worktable so you can make Drying Racks and start making Dried Apple Slices in mass.

LLSix posted:Is there any way to speed up cooking food? Feeding in one ingredient at a time is frustrating when there are quests asking for 8 of the exact same item. Eventually you'll meet a character who can cook for you instantaneously, but until then it's the stinky "add one ingredient at a time" thing.

I don't mind the chicken coop and a few chickens, because it's a steady stream of manure, but the barn and cows/sheep is just too much space for too little payoff.

Endgame stuff: I was wondering why the sword I got from the Deepest Ruin was so much shittier than the Rogue Knight's Sword, so I looked it up and apparently the console version of the game is bugged and you're not supposed to be able to use the RKS until you hit level 60, which makes way more sense, because getting to level 60 seems like a pretty steep grind.

Finish-Finished the game, complete with [strike]staff[/strike]backer roll. The ending "here is all the stuff you did!" list seems bugged and most of the numbers were off. It said I hadn't caught any King fish, I hadn't turned in any commissions, I hadn't cut down any trees, and had only been down to the tenth floor of the Deepest Dungeon even though I had gotten to 30-something (that one is explainable - I was farming Carbon Fiber from the boss on the 10th Floor because I could clear it in less than 20 seconds). I also assume there was supposed to be music playing during this sequence instead of silence, just like I assume there was supposed to be music playing during every instance of what's her face's songs instead of silence. Anyway at least if I ever decide to replay this I'll remember to plant two Crystal trees early on and maybe that'll make things run a little more smoothly.

Honestly really looking forward to Sandrock, even though I hate desert areas, because I think Portia had a lot of neat ideas for this genre that didn't necessarily work out and I'm hoping they've gained enough experience and feedback to really polish the experience (and maybe have enough money to hire a good localizer to breathe some life into the script). and maybe I won't end up anime marrying the one character who leaves during the storylineZesty posted:May 2021 Dev Update I think the full release for Sandrock is targeting 2022, so I guess they're trying to get Portia to a point where they can say it's finished, which includes dubbing all the new Higgins-friendship content.

i've been watching a stream of the demo (because lol my laptop could never), and while i really like the character designs this time around, the constant talk about water scarcity is really stressing me out, because i'm apparently the sort of brain broke individual who can be stressed out watching another person play a demo of a video game that uses water scarcity as flavor text

Sydin posted:Is there any sense yet of how far along in early access the game is? If it's at the state Portia is when I bought it: story is largely finished, you can play to the intended end, but it's still missing stuff around the edges like voice acting and all the character events then I'll pick it up. But if it's at the state where the main story is still unfinished and they intend to add in more core mechanics, I might hold off for now. The official word seems to be that only the first act of the main story is currently implemented, and also as I understand it Marriage and Babbies aren't implemented yet, as well as at least one character, nor the multiplayer mode.

Looks like you picked it up just in time for a new update, they put out this weirdly dramatic trailer a couple days ago teasing an update for the 24th: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIDkYjNYnSY

i hope the console versions launch as 1.0 instead of an early access build that's several updates behind the PC version

the guy i anime married in Portia leaves after the main storyline so that's pretty funny and i hope Sandrock has something similar.

The actual romance elements is very take or leave but strategically befriending the townsfolk to get discounts at their shops and extra friendship points with their friends and family to get discounts at their shops is an important part of the game imo.

Bussamove posted:Has there been any word on the multiplayer recently? I keep seeing mentions of a sandbox mode which isn’t what I’m looking for. Hoping there’s plans to put in a co-op storymode or something. they posted this video a month ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn9Ykt1az0M the bad news: they had originally planned a separate storyline for multiplayer mode, but they thought it wasn't good enough and also due to having limited resources they're scrapping the storyline entirely and it's just going to be a sandbox thing.

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1084600/discussions/0/3883851232914867252/ Some stuff about the console releases: PS5, Xbox, and Switch releases are on November 2, but won't be fully updated to where the PC release is until around Christmas. The PS4 version will be released at a later date. Console multiplayer won't drop until Summer 2024. Some gameplay limitations in the Xbox One and Switch versions, which I imagine will also apply to the PS4 version if it ever releases:

A lot of people like to decorate in these sorts of games, but I do remember a lot of the decorative stuff in Portia being absurdly expensive and only available for the full house upgrade? Fashion though... fashion is non-negotiable. You can't build this crusty desert town into a thriving city-state if you don't look cute.

I remember one of the last social skills you could get in Portia was like "you can invite people on Play Dates at a lower friendship level" or something, so I'm personally happy that Sandrock is continuing the tradition of "why is this skill here?"
