long long man!!!!
This game is so flipping confusing and huge I have no clue what I’m doing. There is no help for figuring out how things work or any direction at all. I’m done. Waste of money.
rune factory ✋
sooo true on the aggretsuko mistreatment 😭 felt that too lol, poor bb deserves better!
Dogz really was boring for me , i regreted buying it when i was younger 😂😂 but the harvest moon ds cute was wonderful and addicting.
I would love infinity Nikki on switch
Personally, im not usually a gamer but this onr is an easy game i play during my commute! Plus being from where Sanrio is from, I grew up w these Sanrio characters, so I really enjoy this game! I didnt get into Animal Crossing, but this is a game i can get into!
What does yogurt favor means in foods?!.
I’ve been playing the standard version on my stream deck and I haven’t noticed really any lag? It could just be because of the hardware! I’m still pretty early on in the game, and I don’t find myself really agreeing with a lot of what you’re saying, but it’s so important to have people bringing forth what their issues are! Not everyone is going to love this game and I appreciate people saying so. I like the fact that it’s the same game as on mobile so that way more people can have access. I don’t have Apple Arcade but I do have a switch and a steam deck so now I can actually play it! The big thing I do agree with you on is Retsuko. She deserves better!!!
Hey Nina, you should check out the game Enchanted Folk aka Magician’s quest Mysterious times. It’s like Harry Potter meets Animal Crossing. They released it for DS but came out with a Japanese only 3DS version that added more content.
I played it when I got a free month of apple arcade and yeah... its pretty boring
"the characters have no soul, they dont want to get to know you, the dont wanna conversation..." well this is very realistic on this social media era XD. i just started playing the original ds one and surely its enthralling
I'm a huge hello kitty fan. I have hello kitty everything. I even enjoy hello kitty racers on switch. The worst offense this game has is, it's so boring!!!! I dont enjoy playing it. I like ACNH but this is so dull.
lol
In a way Dream Village reminds me of Animal Crossing
Really mad about the price tag for this and Animal Crossing Pocket Camp for Android. Seriously $20 for a mobile game!
THE POMPOM TOP!!! oh my gosh where did you get that?? I swear I can never find anything with Pompompurin 🥲
omg i forgot i had Dogz😭😭 i loved that one
If u mod it you’ll be shocked trust me the things a beast as long as u have a memory card
I returned it 😂 I’ll buy it for 10$ tho.
i actually like when mobile games get turned into an actual physical title (sort of like pocket camp complete except it didnt have physical but still it is a complete game now offline) and hope more mobile games will do it in the future (genshin... pls...). its always a fear of mine that a mobile game i love will just one day shut down w/ no way to recover the game at all due to it being online. it happens more so w mobile games as those come and go so im glad companies have been turning them into something more tangible and easy to preserve better. im getting this game soon, deluxe version, and im excited for it! i agree w other criticisms like mobile gameplay and not enough platform content. still, i just love the art style so much i want to experience this game for myself and cant wait <333 great video! ty for making me consider some things before i buy :D like with fashion dreamer, i did not expect it to be a style savvy game. like with this game, i wont expect animal crossing so i wont be disappointed in any way uwu
Tbh I also think the game is overhyped. I would not even pay 40 dollars for this game. This game feels like any other free-to-play mobile game just without the micro-transactions. I was so excited to play it back in 2023 but the game just feels so soul-less, Grindy and repetitive. I know ACNL is grindy too, but unlike this game, it irradiates so much personality and it’s sooo rewarding to make any progress in you r game. However, I’ve never felt rewarded with HKIA. Your island just looks the same no matter how much effort you put in the game or how much you progress in the story. This game is nothing like a main title animal crossing. It is like a slightly better Pokcet Camp. if you have a 3Ds, I would recommend to play New Leaf instead. Way more fun.
Optimization on the switch will always be bad. It doesn't have the power it actually advertised. We'll see if the new one can actually deliver what it says.
The boutique/shop simulator in Style Savvy is the main draw for me so this one definitely wouldn't be a good fit for me, but I appreciate the very thorough breakdown of what worked and didn't about it!
Great video! I had been looking forward to this game's release for quite a while now but was extremely put off by the price tag. I view this game VERY similarly to Faefarm, where they released it with a 40-60 dollar price tag and the gameplay feels very similar. I played Faefarm for basically an entire weekend during a free trial period, but once the trial ended I didn't buy it because I could tell that while the game was addicting at the start with the snappy gameplay and quests, it would not hold any sort of longevity for me. Coincidentally I just got a new phone a week ago which came with a 3-month trial for Apple Arcade and I immediately downloaded HK Island Adventure... And I get the exact same feeling where it is very addicting at the start but will probably not hold my attention for very long once I get to the point where the gameplay loop is very shallow. I would still LOVE to buy this game for my Deck, but I'm going to wait for a steam sale... Faefarm reduced it's base price and now it goes on sale every now and then, so I'm hoping the same thing happens here. The fact that they changed absolutely nothing for the Switch/PC port despite the original having mobile game concepts baked in was very disappointing, it would have maybe been alright if there was cross-platform play but since there isn't there's no reason to retain those mechanics. Your video is probably the most fair take I've seen on the game so far, I hope enough people can hold off on buying it so it shows the devs the price is just too high for what's on offer!
so true
I get it's not for everyone, but yogurt flavor goes hard. 😋 I distinctly remember an American brand selling something like Creamsicle fruit by the foot, two orange stripes and a white stripe down the middle, when I was a kid (the 2000s), but I can't find any evidence of it existing. 😔
YOGOS ROLLERS, that's what they were!
You married gorgeous ?
you don't have a shot, mate
This is youtube, not a dating site. Hope that helps
i refunded it icl. it was cute and i can see its appeal, but i hate that you can run out of things to do in a day, it really limits the fun for me as someone who can’t play daily but instead has gaming days where i commit hours upon hours to my favourite games 😢
Yea the game is extremely overrated and it is NOTHING like DDV, DDV is a full actual game. This is just something to do on your phone when bored
funny cause i've seen people also have their gripes with ddv, what the game offers and the price point. .. i'm so confused
My problem with DDV is that it was supposed to be a f2p game with paid season passes and content. They then changed their mind and made it a full priced game with those same paid points and now paid expansions that frankly, should be included as part of the base game. I can't justify paying for it, simply on principle.
I personally think the price is reasonable because I was gifted with the most addicting gameplay ever 😭 Ive been playing it for 2 days straight and its about to be a 3. I dont see how anyone could hate this game tbh, but thats just me
it will always bother me that it's a 40 to 60 dollar phone game, I just feel like phone games should never be that much, it will always be lower quality in some aspects because you simply cannot have console level games on mobile thus it shouldn't cost the same as console games
@senaeu thats true, I brought it on computer for around 30 dollars. I feel like 30 dollars is fair and it should be around the same price on other devices. It shouldn't be 40+ dollars...
honestly I refunded it on steam so fast 😭
Switch 2 can't come soon enough! Since it's confirmed it will have backwards compatibility with Switch 1 games I sold my Switch early, it looks like the same device just better replaceable I guess unlike my other older consoles I kept 😋
I got this game cause of aggretsuko she deserves to be loved way more she deals with enough neglect at work as is
My main problem with it is that it's still a mobile game. If you release it on Switch you release a Switch game, that means no seasonal events and no real time restrictions, I don't want to be told when I can play and when I can't after paying that amount of money in one go. Also if you pay one month of Apple Arcade and you don't like it you just stop it but you cannot get a 40$ refund if you don't like it on Switch
You realise that a lot of switch and steam games release seasonal events and real time based mechanics to encourage players to play throughout the year instead of binging and putting it down. Pokémon releases new time based events all the time, the ds games used to force time mechanics all the time (looking at you honey trees), Disney Dreamlight valley too penalises you for attempting to time skip. I’m not saying that not liking these mechanics is not a valid reason to dislike the game, it’s all personal taste, but it’s not limited to mobile games and normal consoles we’re doing it before smartphones were even widespread.
@issypacanins6250 I hate Dreamlight Valley for similar reasons, Pokémon events aren't part of the story and even with the honey trees there were a myriad of other things to do, that was just one mechanic. The honey trees didn't stop you entering gyms, shiny hunting or catching other Pokémon. HKIA stops you from advancing in the story because of its phone game mechanics and that's the problem, that if I want to play for 8 hours in a row every single day I can't and therefore I'm not paying for it.
@ which is fine like I said but you said switch games should have no seasonal events and time based mechanics because that’s something mobile games do. I simply pointed out that traditional consoles have implemented those features since they started having an internal clock, it’s not new. It’s fine not to like it, but I don’t think it’s limited to mobile games and I definitely wouldn’t say that console games shouldn’t have the features. It’s just a different way to play, not every game will suit every person.
@@issypacanins6250they did not know how to properly implement those features and regardless the gameplay is not that fun or complex either way. Is repetitive and boring. Real time restrictions for games you pay for sucks. I don’t think there’s any person in the world that says “I love real time restrictions in games!!”
@ I actually do like the variety. I like having games that I just check in to do some daily bits and games that I pick and leave along the way. I find it fulfilling to have something that I do every day and see small incremental progress. It feels a lot more mindful to consume a game like that. When I got a second switch I decided that my animal crossing island would not include any time skips and I really enjoyed the experience. Do I want every game to be like that, no, but I do appreciate that games are made differently and I don’t think there’s a set way they have to be. If you don’t like it that’s fine, I have not argued over whether you are allowed to enjoy it or not or said anything about the quality of any games. I just don’t agree with the universality that you have applied to statements like ‘switch games can’t implement this’ or ‘no one enjoys games like this’
It makes sense for my budget where I just buy a couple months up front. I did just buy the regular version tho. I’m happy with it and am sure I’ll get my moneys worth. Not everyone is the same. Let’s normalize everyone’s feelings being valid. 🫶🏻💗
omg the look of dissapointment when u bit it in half 😢
It is pretty expensive for it being a mobile game.
After 6 months, youve surpassed the initial game cost on apple arcade. I think the price is fair considering you wont pay again
Yes, but will someone actually continuously play this for 6 months? I had the apple arcade version and after a month i honestly had enough of the game.
I adore Sanrio but you're definitely right! I tried it out and just. Wasn't having that much fun
i love ur hair <3
I love Sanrio but sad to say I got bored of it after a couple days. There's not much to do.
I also noticed the lagging on Switch to. Its super annoying.
As a community what should I call us?! I initially thought the Nini’s would be cute… but I love strawberries so maybe we could be the little strawberries? 🩷🤍 let me know any suggestions! 😂
Ninis sounds cute at first I thought of Neeners but that's way worse 😅
maybe combine both ideas! niniberries would be original and cute! (or maybe that's just me)
😌🩷 just wanted to try some candy today. Do you have a favorite candy?
I already paid for it. Meaning I already have it and play it. I like it but I agree with you on price. It's the regular version not the deluxe version.
Felt 😌
I got to this game because I loved dress up flash games back in 2000 but I did not expect the world to be this vast! Pretty good story and really engaging gameplay. The outfits of course are the highlight.
What! Trio of Towns too busy? Duo of Towns wasn't busy enough! Boring! Trio of Towns is the bomb. Absolutely crushed it. Rolled the credits during the first week of Spring, Year 2 -- as a Layabout. Nothing beats it.
Alright alright, you convinced me I'll go back and play it again 🤣
@@theninagabriella Ehhh no worries. the main thing to understand about 3oT is that it incentivizes hording because of the part-time jobs and the farming challenges. When the game drops a huge requirement on you, own 2 cows, sell 50 flowers, ship 100,000g worth of goods, give away lumber and gold to various villagers, it's nice to complete that challenge the same day it comes in. That means being ready for it! I've optimized so well that now there's precious little to do by the end of Year 2 which is kind sad, but that first year rush is quite satisfying.
