stardew valley is one guy's attempt to make the best possible harvest moon, which is a game, i would say, of the same genre as animal crossing, broadly speaking, in the same way as -- i don't know -- mechwarrior and virtual on.
the way i think of animal crossing is: take a few microgames from warioware, set it in a jrpg town, and give the player their own doll house. it isn't deep, but that's an observation, not necessarily a criticism.
- aspenmayer 7y agoVirtual On! I forgot I remembered that until you reminded me, which then brought to mind Zone of the Enders and Front Mission. There was one other one which eludes me. Oh yeah, Armored Core. I know there are many others but these were most memorable to me. I think of all of those I love Front Mission series best. It’s kind of an oddball since the others are action games but FM is tactical RPG closer to X-COM series. Thanks for the memories. Time to find some mecha games!

- aspenmayer 7y agoIs it still more of a simulation like past MechWarrior games, or is it more of an action game like MechAssault? The simulator MechWarrior games were amazing for immersion, but I found the controls confusing. I think for the concept of the game, those are not problems with the game so much as my own individual problems with comfort of the game's user-input. I feel like if a MechWarrior game could be playable with a controller, it would still be fun, but something essential to the gameplay experience would be lost.
