Adjusted multiplayer so that progress can be made on accepted quests even during multiplayer sessions.
Good news! Now can they get rid of the countdown timer? I've finally convinced my wife to give this game a try, after convincing her it's a bit like Animal Crossing. She wants to do multiplayer "hangs" but from the sound of things that isn't really feasible?Looks like the last patch basically fixed the multiplayer:
They are basically releasing one patch every day lol, very nice of them. To those that played the first game, how did they handle content updates? I've seen a lot of praise for it's DLC.
Local co-op is more like Mario Galaxy, one player is just the tag-along sidekick without any progression.Any word how the local 2p co-op works? Can two people both use/progress their own characters? Or does the second player just join in as a "helper" for player 1?
Also wondering if you can do a hybrid thing with 2 players on one system + 1-2 other players online.
Yeah right? Been refreshing a few pages but no luck so far.Looks like this may be one of those rare releases that isn't available on third party key sites.
Cool, I'd actually kind of prefer that way for local co-op. Then my kids can join in to my/my wife's game without needing to start their own game.Local co-op is more like Mario Galaxy, one player is just the tag-along sidekick without any progression.
Additionally, no mixed co-op you can only either do local or online.
- Adjusted quest completion notifications to display during multiplayer.
- Adjusted the Quest screen to be viewable during multiplayer. (*Some features on the Quest screen are not available during multiplayer.)
- Adjusted the Quest progress count to work correctly during multiplayer.
- Fixed an issue where progressing through the Novice Life Challenge during Chapter 5 of the Main Story, "Reach the cave's center," could prevent the player from saving or flying with Skelegon, making further progress impossible.
- Fixed an issue where clearing a shrine in Ginormosia during Chapter 6 of the Main Story, "Go to the Cave of Trials," could cause the player to become unable to enter the cave, making further progress impossible.
- Fixed an issue where completing the Bulletin Board quests at the Base Camp did not properly count as completed, preventing Island Rating from increasing.
- Fixed an issue where using a Guild Office Relocation Kit after triggering the Guild Office expansion event scene, while carrying the kit, would result in two Guild Offices appearing.
- Fixed other minor bugs.
BROTHER...right? I remember yesterday in this thread when I was on the fence...yeah flash forward to PC/Switch digitals and a physical dip from play asia.I have now bought this game three times... My wife really wanted to play it on Switch, and she wants to do multiplayer with me, so I bought it on PC so I can do that with my Steam Deck. I also bought a physical Switch copy. I can't remember the last game I spent $180 on before even playing...
If this follows the trajectory of the first game, it won't get much more difficult overall. There will be monsters you'll encounter that are significantly higher level than you, which are designed to be taken down in groups of multiplayer or designed to be taken down when you're equal in levels to them. However, even taking on stuff that's 10–20 levels higher than you is possible, just boring. Attack, attack, dodge, dodge, super attack, repeat. Missed the dodge? You mighta got one-shotted.Only gripe so far is how braindead easy the combat is, but it's not the focus of the game so whatever. Heard the previous game gets a bit harder later so it might be the case here as well.
Dude lol i play all classes what are you even doing what the actual fuckPlayed around 8 hours and the PS5 game summary is saying I'm 74% complete which has me pretty worried.
Am I playing it "wrong"? I thought folks played these for hundreds of hours! I've just focused solely on the story quests so far as I figured I'd reach a point where I'd be forced to do the other things before I could progress.
But I'm almost at the end with just the two lives played, erm what?
Please tell me the real game begins after the story and I've not ruined it.
No idea but I'd assume the story is the introduction to all the mechanics and after that you keep playing at your own leysure.Played around 8 hours and the PS5 game summary is saying I'm 74% complete which has me pretty worried.

Any impressions for how this runs on the Switch yet? Or are all the early impressions just on PC right now?
It looks dreadful in the trailers on the Switch eshop.
I jumped and so far I have 0 regrets, game's super fun.Feel like I'm gonna jump in tonight

Some of the crafting mini games really make me mad.
Other then that...man this game is awesome
Must've been some old ass trailers in the eShop, SwitchUp reviewed it and said it performs and looks great, and it looks so in all their footage. A few framerate issues if you're doing 4 player online but the single player runs excellent. They also loved the game. Feel like I'm gonna jump in tonight, I have almost enough to cover it from some birthday present credit I was hanging on to.

It's different. Never played Stardew but that seems like a game about farm life and nothing else, no? This one has content up the ass and way more stuff than just farming. There's an Animal Crossing town to build on your own, multiple other towns and locations to adventure through and a whole BOTW kind of map full of dungeons and stuff.is this better than Stardew ??
I see people complain about the price but I don't get it. Sure the graphics aren't AAA shit but there's content here to play for hundreds of hours.Is this a good game? im surprised its being sold as a full priced game
I didn't mean it's not worth it! just that it looks like a smaller game given its art style and what's typical for games with that art style in the gaming marketIt's different.

Plus it's 60 bucks, not the sadly usual 70. I'd say it's a good game, but it's also a kiddy game so unless you are in for a comfy game you'll feel disappointed.
hmmm, I played Stardew for more then 200hours and Stardew has some quests and dungeons too, its not just farm, it has romance options, you can marry, have kids, i think of Stardew more like a slice of life sim than a farm sim, its doesnt have a big scope but its pretty chill.... I really didnt like it Animal Crossing at all i think it is very childish for my 40yo ass.It's different. Never played Stardew but that seems like a game about farm life and nothing else, no?

I'd say check out some videos and decide on your own. Game is cute as hell so you might not like that aspect if childish stuff puts you off.hmmm, I played Stardew for more then 200hours and Stardew has some quests and dungeons too, its not just farm, it has romance options, you can marry, have kids, i think of Stardew more like a slice of life sim than a farm sim, its doesnt have a big scope but its pretty chill....
