I wouldn't say I quite regret buying Disney Dreamlight Valley, but I do think they are getting really, really greedy with the amount of monetization. Like overboard levels. First it was the star path, which I was fine with; it felt like there was a decent amount of value in that, and it gave you extra activities and goals to work toward. Then there was the "premium shop", which was just overpriced bundles of items that easily could've been added to Scrooge's shop. An item bundle of a shirt, skirt, and a watch is like 2,000 moonstones (about $7.50 USD)...for 3 items! Now they have the individual character packages that introduce some paid side quests, and a variety of maybe 10 cosmetic items. But it's 4,000 moonstones, or about $15 USD!! The prices are just getting increasingly ridiculous. I can't even recommend the game anymore, because the monetization is seriously beginning to feel predatory... I had high hopes in the early days of the game...I think the star path was decent value, and I would've felt okay supporting the game through that, but they're just getting too greedy. Such a disappointment...
I agree 100%, their greediness made me quit, like I literally cannot afford to play the game, which is such a shame cause I love it.
I had to quit I can’t justify paying that much for moonstones
Just don’t buy it… nothing you can pay for is essential to playing the game.
@@vanessat5500me neither
@@LostHope84"JuSt DoN't BuY iT" - corporate bootlicker. You are completely missing the point. NOTHING justifies the prices,at all. Doesn't matter if you buy them or not.
I absolutely love dreamlight valley, my issue is they’ve drawn me in, and now they are wanting me to buy moonstones to get stuff, because it’s impossible to get enough for everything offered. I’ve already purchased an unfinished glitched game, and now they want more more more. It’s a no from me.
I am new. What is a glitched game and where can I buy games online,
@@GalCharlotte Glitched games are basically games that have issues and need updates. Where you buy games are going to depend on what type of system your using e.g Nintendo, steam deck, playstation, Xbox or PC.
I totally agree about Dreamlight valley, I love the game, but it has so many issues
Yeah it's really rough on the switch particularly, PC isn't nearly as bad
Yes i agree to but i hear many people that say that on the pc The same problem is ..
I have Dreamlight Valley on PS4 and there are some issues, but nothing too bad. I still absolutely love the game and have easily spent hundreds of hours.
Agree! It crashes all the time AND NOW WE HAVE TO PAY FOR MOONSTONES!!! it's not bad enough I paid for the game, now it continues to cost IF you want any of the coolest stuff🤬👺👹
I agree! and the devs are very anti-accessibility. The community has been asking since the start for features to be added and they are always ignored! It took them over 10 hours of the community begging for a photosensivity warning after their flashing effects were causing issues for players and then TWO WEEKS to fix anything. 1000% regret.
My biggest purchase regret is My Time at Portia. It just doesn’t run all that well on the switch. Also I thought I would get used to the art style and I just…didn’t. That said, I am still looking forward to trying my time at sandrock in a few but on my pc this time lol
Same, I never understood why everyone seemed to love it - I could not get into it.
crazy thing is that my time at portia is so much prettier on the pc,I son't care much for the character styles though
yeah it was a bummer. I was obsessed with it on pc. got it for switch and couldn't handle it. plus they didn't update it as often cuz well NINTENDO
my time at portia is also on mobile. i know “mobile” sounds bad, but it runs perfectly! i have an iphone 13 pro though, older phones might not handle it as well. i think they did a good job adapting the controls to a touch screen, it’s not difficult to play on mobile at all. it also only costs like $5, id recommend it if you want to give the game another chance.
but yeah the art style is a bit weird. i think most of the npcs are ok and the actual environments are very nice, but the actual player character is kinda unpleasant to look at. i spent a very long time messing with the character creator trying to make my guy look less ugly lol
i LOVE my time at portia, but eventually quit playing because of how often it crashed. i had to repeat days sooooo often. when i found out they were making a new game instead of fixing the current one, i gave up.
I regret buying Bear and Breakfast on switch. Even though it has potential, I could not get over how tedious navigating the menus are, which led to me putting it down.
Watching videos of it was what took me from "Oh yeah!" when she first mentioned it on TikTok to "Oh no..." when I saw how tedious it looked. Very unfortunate.
Yeah, same here. It looked so cute and I was excited because I got it with a birthday gift card, but then I’ve played it maybe twice and haven’t touched it because the actual gameplay just.. wasn’t very fun :(
Yeah I couldn’t finish it due to bad controls. Did they ever fix it? I think they were planning on optimizing controller but haven’t been keeping up with dev updates.
This is how I felt about let it grow
@@BlingBlingDubuLove I haven't seen any fixes for it yet, but I definitely won't be picking it up again until there is!
the machines in Olive TOwn was what really killed it for me bc idk why one machine couldn't just be upgraded to a certain point bc i hated how many machines i had on my farm it looked like robot land and not the farm i would've liked to have
Same! I hate having a ton of machines and stopped playing it
that was part of it for me. why do I need machines to do simple crafting conversions? Stardew Valley I just press a button in my inventory and my wood becomes boxes.
I was having the same matchmaking experience in Splatoon 3. Every match seemed to be very one-sided. One team completely stomped the other. There were seemingly no fairly balanced matches. It just got old really quick. No one likes being stomped, and even if your team is the one doing the stomping, it gets boring to have almost zero challenge.
yea,it sounds so damn unbalanced and that why i usally just single player games.
I have the opposite problem. I went back to Splatoon 2 and I’m suddenly got really good teams, like we had a 16 match win streak at one point before finally losing once.
In Splatoon 3 the weapon power isn’t always evenly distributed, but it’s still possible to win even then.
Splatoon 3 doesn’t use servers, it uses someone’s Switch as the Host to play the matches on. So if their WiFi isn’t great, then communication errors can occur. And count that times 8, 1 for each player that has an Internet connection that can fail at any moment, ending the whole match if it happens before the first minute passed.
In terms of challenge, I always had pretty fair matches. Ones where you’re like biting your nails in anticipation if you won. I haven’t had a lot of matches where we got over 70% (which I did get after going back to Splatoon 2, despite me being pretty much a noob in that game, guess experience does carry over a bit).
I also think a lot of pros are currently playing Splatoon 3 instead of 2, so if they aren’t on your team it would indeed feel like hitting a brick wall if you and your team aren’t pros as well.
I'm glad it's not just me having this experience. (But of course every time it happened to me I had 3 other team members...) My Splatoon 2 games would be like 51-49% but my Splatoon 3 games would be like 91-9%. geeeeez
Agreed. I played the hell out of S1 and a lot of S2 and I was a decent player. S3 sees me and my rando teams getting massacred in every game and it all feels very very unbalanced. And also there are way too many weapon types. It’s all just a jumbled mess.
Mine is Little Dragons Cafe. The game is really cute in theory, but the days are so short you have to come running back to the cafe before you have enough time to explore the world! It got so frustrating I ended up quitting the game
I did the same thing 🤦🏻♀️
YES OMG I got it on sale and then absolutely hated it 🥲 so glad I only spent like 8 dollars instead of 50
I regret buying Old Man's Journey. It was point and click, which I wasn't aware of, and the mechanics of it were just frustrating as hell. I cussed it from beginning to end and archived immediately. 😂 Every time I see the name of the game, I have uncontrollable cussing fits. 😂 "Jeff this effing game. Old man's effing journey. Should be called a sure way to get pissed off". Lol I don't think I've hated another game that bad.
@scorpionzdezignz
Haha!! I felt the EXACT same as you! But I will say this: I found it on Apple Arcade, and you use touch screen, and I’ve truly been enjoying it! And the best part is, it was free!!🎉
My regret purchase is Bear and Breakfast on the switch. The controls were SO fiddly and the text is tiny if you’re on a switch lite. I was so hyped for it and so disappointed with how it was ported to console 😅
I've had that game on the maybe list for a long time 🥲 every time I read ab it, the reviews mention awkward controls and weird decorating mechanics
I want that game so bad but I’ve only heard bad things about it, well, for the non PC versions.
Same! I regret buying it. Even apart from the controls I don't like some of the mechanics in general and the music is too sad. I just don't vibe with the game.
That sucks. I was so looking forward to that one.
I came to say this same thing. I think I logged a couple hours before ultimately giving up the ghost on it because it's so finicky.
The load time between going in and out of buildings in Ooblets on the switch puts me off from playing it for long. It’s frustrating.
I agree with you on olive town. i tried to pick it back up a little while ago but i got overwhelmed with how much stuff respawns on your farm daily, and the maker machines were so tedious.
I regret buying Hokko Life. It didn't run great on the Switch, it was glitchy, the animals were strange...and I got soooo frustrated with the crafting mechanics. I finally deleted the game when I realized I couldn't go any farther in the game without crafting 50 items first! It was too much work. 😅
Hokko life is so bland,oml. I haven't played that in a while because of it
I was so angry that I spent money on this game.
Disney dreamlight valley is one of my most regretted game I have brought on switch. Played a few hours and immediately deleted it. Unfortunately nintendo wouldn't refund. 😢
That's one thing i hate about Nintendo, why not give like a 12h time (or less) to test it and then get a refund if you don't like it or if it doesn't run on the switch, like many 3rd party games don't.
That's why I don't really purchase any games on switch unless it's a switch exclusive. I prefer steam as they have a 2 hr refund policy.
Agreed. For how much DLV cost, they should focus on fixing the friggin bugs before trying to push content out.
Agree completely with so much here. Glad I play DDV on PC. I hit a bug in Hokko Life that made the game unplayable and the dev knows about it and was basically like “hope to fix it once I understand it” and that was a year ago. Pioneers of Olive Town was fun for a very short while then everything you said about it became apparent. Splatoon is too sweaty for me. Long story short, I get the game on PC now unless it’s known to play well on the switch. ❤
My PC is crap. I would have regretted buying DDV on my PC because it mutes my color and it’s slow. I’ll take crashes any day over that
Thank you for this video!! I think more content creators should do these. As for me in the category of “it’s good but runs bad on the Switch” there’s Cozy Grove. Super adorable story and gameplay, I even pre-ordered it and played it for about 150 days straight but then I just gave up, the lagging was so bad I started to feel sick. I don’t mind a bit of frame drop but you could totally see that it was not made for a console like the switch :( hopefully the next one will run better
I bought a switch just a year ago. I don't have too many games but regret Aka. The story was interesting and I wanted to know more but trying to water the plants was frustrating and the lack of a good tutorial killed it for me. Abzu is beautiful but I had so many problems with motion control.
Same, AKA was so disappointing and the updates/fixes were too slow for the Switch version as well...
Have to totally agree with this one. I pre-ordered it but it was SO frustrating to play that I gave up after a few hours.
This. I’ve only played maybe 6 hours of it bc I feel incredibly directionless and the controls suck
@@denver9290 Right? The controls are SO bad.
Same here! It was glitchy and too short .
I really regret buying Time on Frog Island. Very cute game and graphics but I was expecting something completely different from the trailers. I got frustrated and had to look up a walkthrough, so the gameplay got annoying for me. Also, I don't regret it, but Cozy Grove has so many bugs on the switch and it makes the gameplay rough sometimes... Love your videos, this was really fun💜
Yeah, and for me Cozy Grove was nothing like Animal Crossing which was what people promote it as. I got bored after unlocking a few of the bears.
I absolutely love cozy grove but the constant freezing for load times on the switch is constantly making me feel like my switch has crashed, but I’m still 100 hours+ in and it’s still one of my faves 😅
Time on Frog Island feels impossible to complete on your own. I refuse to watch a guide for it because it's suppose to be a puzzle game
I played cozy grove twice and didn’t pick it up again 🥴
Omg yes I'm so glad I'm not alone on Time on Frog Island, that game is so deceptively cute and ridiculously hard. I love Cozy Grove but the frame rate on the switch gave me a headache, I hope they improve it for the sequel. :(
I regret buying Unpacked. Mainly because it was over priced for what we get. It’s really cute and different, but it would’ve been nice to get different unpacking scenarios with different people. I also regret Story of Seasons too. It was boring and felt like work after awhile. I also regret Child of Light.
Same here. I literally 100% it in 2 hours
I regret unpacking as well and maybe it's just because on the switch it doesn't do well but at 1 point to try to get from room to room when you start having like 4 floors The controlsit was so hard I couldn't even finish it it was very frustrating
Yes I LOVED the actual gameplay of unpacking. I was so disappointed when it was over that that was all it was for the price. It’s definitely one to only buy on sale
I got it on sale and I still think it wasn't worth that price. It was okay to play, but nothing special and didn't last very long.
Same
Yeah, Olive Town was a big letdown. As far as games under the SoS rebrand, excluding remakes, my favorite is Trio of Towns. It is very good and if we get a port of some sort I would not be mad. The characters are great, and the story is pretty good. I love that you have to convince the character's father that you are cut out to be a farmer by completing his challenges.
EDIT: Also, I just wanted to add that Splatoon 3 I didn't even buy because I didn't really like the first game on the Wii U. It's not a bad game or series by any means. I did get my money's worth out of it, but just not to my taste, I guess. Which is a shame because I want to like these games! Maybe they'll make a spin off some day that is more to my taste.
Trio of Towns ranks in my top 3 SoS games, I also love that how much there was to explore and areas outside of farm and town. One of my biggest issues with Olive Town was that outside of the town and farm there really wasn’t anywhere to go and you couldn’t get resources outside of your farm. I love when there is a large forest area and/or mountain area where you can scavenge, chop trees and so on.
I also love the fact there are more then one town you can visit in Trio.
TOT is the goat.
@@meltedprincess well, my personal favorite was Animal Parade, but ToT is definitely another
When I found out that couldn't rotate the furniture. I was upset
@@miarbnsn yeah, I didn’t like that but what really annoyed me was how you could only put furniture in certain areas of your home and with out door furniture I was really annoyed when I realized that fences didn’t keep your animals in a specific area like they did in past games. I don’t like that my cows and chickens were able to move everywhere in my farm. Nor did I like the fact I couldn’t move my pet beds away from the entrance to my house
now that they have put the wallee quest behind a paywall, I've lost my love for dreamlight valley. putting cosmetics behind a paywall is one thing but not content, not when i bought a hundred dollar version of this game in the beginning just UGH
i think i feel similarly about the warriors game as you seem to feel about smash bros. I've had a really hard time gelling with age of calamity and three hopes in single player (despite LOVING the main games), but then found out I can play split-screen couch co-op with my partner! it makes it SO much more fun to play those games with someone!
I eventually got burnt out of splatoon 3 but I ended up logging more than 400 hours into it. I feel like that definitely equates to getting my moneys worth lol
I regret my time in Portia. The controls are hard and don’t translate well on the switch. I only played it for a few hour ms before moving on and I have no interest to play it more
Also, I love DDV but it shuts down SOOOO MUCH so I’ve started playing ooblets
Idk if you’ve ever tried the salmon run mode in splatoon3, but it really helps me not get frustrated as much when I’m in a losing streak bc all the other players and you are united on one team.
I finally started making progress in dreamlight valley and now understand the glitch complaints. I try to save manually every couple minutes so I don't lose much progress but I usually just stop playing instead of reloading.
Try playing offline. I don’t have crashes unless I am online.
@jennyveile The only reason I'm playing is to participate in the event and get my daily 50 moonstone chest which you can't do off line.
I absolutely love Garden Paws, but I regret buying it on the Nintendo Switch. The PC version looks much better and runs better as well. I would also probably buy Cozy Grove and Figment on a different device if I could do it over. They're definitely playable, but they seem to lag a lot at times.
Have they upgraded this game at all for the switch? I really want it but afraid to purchase if it doesn't run well
Bayonetta Origins for me was a regret😔 I was so exited and the art looked beautiful but the mechanic of controlling both characters at the same time makes me actually sick to my stomach and dizzy. It makes me so sad because it truly is beautiful.
how does make you sivk and dizzy? does screen shake when you plays the game? and yea me too. i wanted to get cuz i loved the art style too
I regretted DDV a week after my Aunt bought it for me as a gift. I saw so many videos, finally got it, and then Disney updated monetization and switch Lags awfully.
Not to mention it's SO stressful to play on the switch coz it could crash out at any time 😣😣
Dreamlight Valley on the Switch, totally agree, it runs like me in this horrible summer heat.
I feel like my problem is the art style of certain games. If it’s a farming game I usually get very bored eventually, like with My Time at Portia.
I definitely recommend other types of games like Cozy Grove or Spiritfarer. Those are my absolute favorite ones
I actually love MTAP. My biggest complaint with it is how tiny all of the text is! I haven’t fallen in love with Cozy Grove yet but I do love Spiritfarer.
I like that Spiritfarer has a demo. It is a very calm game. in the end it was a bit to calm for my taste :)
My only problem with spiritfarer was the order of the quests. You could definitely tell in the endgame that those last few characters were tacked on. I would’ve much preferred being able to do the storylines all simultaneously or in any order I wanted
For me it’s potion permit, the good life and my time at portia☹️ the last two i found the camera controls very weird and could not get into the storylines at all, and i found potion permit so so boring😭 i found the town and characters so dull too😭
I had really high hopes for Potion Permit, but it gets so grindy so fast that it sucks the fun out of the game. All of the upgrades compete for lumber and stone, so instead of crafting potions and befriending NPCs the game basically boils down to chopping down trees and hammering rocks for hours on end and nothing else. 🤣
this always gets hate BUT I regret buying Mario Oddyssey..I have learned I am not into 3d platformers at ALL 😭
Omgggg! Not my favorite switch game😮 I love it! I play it often, even though I’ve completed the game years ago
omg I thought I was the only person who didn’t enjoy 3D platforming! something about it is just way more stressful than 2D ones and honestly not that fun
@@genbuggg_ rightttt!? like im lost on there and the early levels feel like there's wayyy too much space to just wander with nothing to interact with.... :(
Lmao
I did like Mario Odyssey, but I enjoyed Super Mario Land a bit more. I also prefer Super Mario Maker 2.
When you asked is there any game you regret buying pioneers of olive town immediately popped into my head so I almost screamed when I saw it’s on the list 😂 and it most definitely does feel hollow and unnecessary complicated.
Yep. I'll be much more cautious buying an original Story of Seasons from here on out.
My big one is Graveyard Keeper. I had fun and for a couple of weeks put a lot of hours into it, but then having a massive anticlimax and then lampshading the fact that there isn't much content to your game and you're gonna sell it as DLC isn't exactly gonna win me over.
I just couldn't get into Graveyard Keeper at all, and I was so looking forward to playing it. I kept trying to play it for a while but I finally gave up.
Of everything I've played I 100% agree with you. I certainly regret the day I bought DDLV for the Switch yet I so love the game. Thanks for this video as it's really making me think about future games coming out. Do I really want them on the Switch when they are on PC?
Love your videos. What a great idea! I bought the theme park game on Steam, Planet Coaster. So painful to try to play. It was like having a job. Also bought Overcooked on Switch. What was I thinking? It’s crazy to try to play solo. Nobody likes video games in my family. Though my grandson is 6 now. In a few years? Games I’m glad I bought on PC, not Switch? My Time at Portia, Grow Song of Evertree and Dreamlight Valley. They all look better on a big screen and a video card. I hope they fix up the Switch. Make it more viable. What I am loving based on your reviews on Switch? Wylde Flowers. What a fun game.
Mine is Island Cities. I kinda thought it would be like Dorfromantik but you just had to put all the pieces of the city back on their right places, like a puzzle. But you could cheat by looking at the finished city so i didn't see the challenge. Also the controls were so confusing. It was less than 5€ but i still felt ripped off so that says a lot.
Same!
Looking absolutely fabulous today!!
There's a good handful of games I very much regret buying but, I'd have to go look at my games not currently downloaded to remember them right now LOL I will agree with Hokko Life some though. I don't know what it is about it; I loved it initially but have fallen out of it almost completely since.
DDV always crashes on Switch for me too, and I’ve noticed the music goes a bit wonky when you go into a new area. I think I regret Strange Horticulture, I got it on sale as s friend was loving it but I struggled to get into it.
I feel the same about Strange Horticulture! I was so excited for it but the puzzles were not for me
Mine crashes every time i edit/decorate my town😭 so like, 10 times every play. I’ve switched over to ooblets until I hear Disney fixes the crashing
I only have that issue if online. Try playing offline and the crashing might stop.
@@Swamp_fairy you can try playing offline. I only have issues with crashing when online.
I love Pioneers of Olive Town. Almost 200 hours between switch and pc. I didn't mind the fact that the town and npcs were lackluster because I never bother with that stuff in any farm sim. And with this one I didn't feel like I was missing out. lol.
I actually love that so much! And why I have the disclaimer that just because it’s not my thing doesn’t mean it’s not yours!
@@Eeowna definitely. I got about 15 minutes into FoMT and knew it wasn't for me. Everyone is different. 🤷♀️
Yesss! I always play the farming sims for the crops and the farm animals, and I didn’t mind the makers so I have a lot of hours into it as well. For that same reason I also enjoyed FOMT though.. I mean it has strawberry cows and capybaras and penguins as pets! 😂♡
Loving your shirt! Lol Some very valid points for these games. I think we should get a list of random cozy indie games for you to try.
I have been feeling super guilty about getting Splatoon 3 and barely playing it. I loved Splatoon 2 and was excited for a new one but I also was sadly out of practice, kept losing, and I’ve also come to realize how anxious I feel before starting matches in a way that i don’t really love the feel of.
Gonna have to agree with the story of seasons I kept getting this weird running lag and it really killed it for me
My biggest regret is My Time At Portia on the Switch. It’s a glitchy mess. I have it on mobile and the mobile game is better optimised and even has quality of life updates that the Switch doesn’t. What a disappointment.
the only game i absolutely regret is cosy grove. hated it completely
it seems to be like the marmite of the cozy community haha Some love it, some hate it!
I grab yesterday because it was on sale. So really can't judge but it just doesn't pull me back in like lets animal crossing . Which is a shame I loved the art style but so far I kind regret it . 😅
Yep agree. Completely boring
Ohh yes Cozy Grove filled me with so much rage lol
i think in my heart i’m in denial because i keep trying to force myself to play it but it’s just something about it not doing it for me. i keep getting frustrated having to look for stuff
For me, there's quite a few, some of which you also mentioned. But one that I haven't seen being mentioned yet: Big Brain Academy. I thought it was super cute with the lil character you can dress up, and I love doing puzzles and stuff. However, what I ignored when buying the game was the fact that I cannot stand the doing puzzles/tasks with a timer 😂 The game stressed me out waaaay too much, so I traded it in again 😅
Ohh noooo! I think as it was a staple on the ds they didn’t explain it all that well
@@EeownaI actually remember enjoying it on the DS! That's why I was so excited to buy it. I think I just have developed an unfortunate stress response to timed puzzles/tasks 😅 And especially during the pandemic, I just couldn't deal with additional stress-inducing stuff at all 🙈
The shock i had when I seen your thumbnail 🤣 but I totally get your point, I like ddlv but I play it on my playstation so it's definitely not as buggy as the switch, and honestly if it wasn't for my fomo on star path items because I know they said those items won't be repeated I probably would have waited for it to go free to play to be fair! Love your honesty about games one of the main reasons I watch your vids/streams because I can always trust that your opinion is fair and honest 💜
Ps I work from home and I bought a flexispot desk about 6 months ago and it is a game changer!! Highly recommend also!
I love what you said about the Warriors games…. About thinking for some reason they would be different. But they weren’t….. I often think things like that, then regret my decision in the end 😂😂😂😂
I needed this video a week ago when I bought DDLV on Switch lol. Ended up buying it for my gaming PC four days later and it’s like night and day 😅
we are complete opposites on mineral town and POoT hahaha!! POoT was lacking soul but thrived in decorating and customization and i liked the art work! mineral town for me was the one that just felt like, dead to me! i would go to sleep everyday at like noon because there wasnt enough to do but i could decorate my farm in POoT all day hahaha
Love the Lechonk t-shirt! That is amazing~ Felt the same with Pioneers of Olive town, it was okay but there are better Story of Seasons games that I could be playing. Thank you for all your hard work on these numerous reviews!
Hyrule warriors and Pokémon Snap are the top two on my list of regret buys.
snap is so hard to justify at full price!
I also regret buying Story of Season Pioneers of Olive Town - I grew up playing the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games, and this really felt like a let down & like an unfinished game. Besides your farm you can only visit the town, the pacing is weird (markers felt like they took forever but trees felt like they came back too fast??). If you're looking for OG Harvest Moon nostalgia, I also recommend skipping SoS: Pioneers of Olive Town
10:20 I feel you on Splatoon 3. I'm not a sore loser either but it really does get to me when I play 50 rounds in a row and lose 49 of them. I have a ton of fun but I lose 99% of the turf wars and the more I play, more I drastically lose. I feel like the match-making is a bit unbalanced
Or maybe you are just really bad and aren't helping the team win.
@@kahp1072 Oh I'm very bad at the game🤣.
I feel like with splatoon 2 it was okay to not be the best, but I completely agree with the splatoon 3 take. I was so excited for it, but I feel like I'm just constantly killed despite not being worse than I was at splatoon 2. Now I don't pick it up
My buying regrets are: Package Rush, Hokko Life, Splatoon 3, SAO: Hollow Realization and Hope‘s Farm…
As a Massage Therapist I HIGHLY recommend getting something that keeps your body moving as well. A small flat walking treadmill is my top recommendation! Obviously cant use when filming (or could you? 😏)
I recommend this to all of my desk job clients 😊
I love DDLV! I don’t find I get a lot of crashes…it slows down but if I give it a sec it usually corrects itself 🤷🏻♀️ And I love Olive Town! I’m playing it right now and am so obsessed. It is my first game ever of the series (both Harvest Moon sand SOS) so I don’t have much to compare it too.
My biggest regret was buying My time at Portia. I tried numerous times but I just can’t get into it at all.
Hokko Life and DDLV are a tie for me. I was so excited for them and have played so little.
I can only play DDV on the switch. Most frustrating part is if I decorate or move thing too much at once and it will become stuck and not save my progress.
Good thing about the crashes? Has me stop playing when I should be sleeping
Your desk looks amazing! You cleaned it for a video and we’re so proud 😂. Thank you for this video because I’ve been maybe-ing a few of these and the comments have been super helpful!
I think the whole DDV charging for games that aren’t fully developed and are supposedly going to be released as free games is really sums. I bought it because of the hype, and enjoyed it, but there are so many flaws. I play other actually free games with micro transactions like Genshin and Honkai Star Rail and they are such a joy and a delight with stunning graphics and so few problems. I don’t believe that Disney like.. DISNEY … could release these games fully developed.
I agree with your comment but wanted to point out that this wasn’t made by Disney. The developer is Gameloft.
@@AnneNotAnnie Oh believe me, anything with Disney branding HAS to be vetted by their team before it’s okayed to be released. Used to do brand deals with them, and the very small pieces of interaction I had were a nightmare. If Gameloft released the game buggy and flawed, it was 100% with Disney’s stamp of approval.
I absolutely relate with you on the super smash, It was literally my favourite game and was the most game I've played in the wii U
When I bought it, it felt empty not that it lacked content but I wished there was an actual story mode like the wii game but that's not a problem here I just couldn't "enjoy" I always felt like i'm forcing myself to play which to be fair it's not the game problem it's just me and my current life I don't have friends or family to play with me like the old days and my taste has changed from when I was younger
Great vid - love to hear the reasons why a game doesn't resonate with people - technical issues seem to be the biggest problems - I didn't enjoy builders 2 - but I think it was because I was playing on the switch Lite and not on a bigger screen (tv) 😊
I just got Spiritfarer per your recommendation on the eshop sale! Love it so far, such a low key type of game :)
Games I really regret buying are mario strikers, my time at Portia(runs bad on the switch) and the borderlands collection. Another great video
HOW DID I FORGET MARIO STRIKERS OMG
Hahaha so bad it doesn't exist in your thoughts
Really? It runs fine for me but I don’t have the comparison
I agree with Portia…very glitchy. And the mining was tedious as hell!
I had to put down Carto because the puzzles were too obscure for me and I found myself getting stuck often. I was having to spend more time googling solitons than is enjoyable for me.
I was so disappointed in Lumbear Jack. I heard it recommended by several channels, and the game ended up being nothing like I expected. I didn’t realize it was a game with “levels” and no dialogue. I also found gameplay to be very boring.
The Last Campfire was another I kept hearing recommended. After getting about 3/4 of the way through it, I was too bored to go any further. I enjoyed the first half or so, but the gameplay began to feel repetitive and predictable, and I lost interest.
My theory is that whoever never played any SoS before won't find Pioneers of Olive Town as dull. I've done some researching a few weeks ago and the major "complain" is how this game is less of a story and more of a farming compared to the other ones of the same lore.
PoOT was my first SoS game and I found it extremely dull and boring 🤷🏻♀️ kind of a bummer bc it made me not want to try the other SoS games even if I heard better things about them…
I had gameplay issues with Aka (I could not complete due to a quest reward glitch), and lonesome village ( it would nor auto save well and I would have to replay several hours very often).
Edit: Also Calico. It was very glitchy, but was so cute and random.
I agree with Calico unfortunately, but at least it’s cheap 🤷♀️
Crash Bandicoot for me. I just can't handle the 3d - the angles always make it hard for me to gauge distance and control the character. I miss the 2d Crash from the Gameboy.
I’m so happy I didn’t buy ddv. I refuse to pay to be a free beta tester, especially for a soulless megacorp and especially if said game involves micro transactions
I love my standing desk for doing computer stuff and playing synthesizer. Adjustability is ace!
I regret Abzu. I got it on sale for $6.99 but the control / movement is sooo difficult…
I also forgot about Cozy Grove. I got bored of finding items in the game without color.
I just bought Abzu on sale too! Haven’t started it! You say the controls are hard?
@@BrickGirl101 I have difficulty swimming and moving around. Its probably because when I game, I like to be comfy in bed. I will try playing at my desk soon if I want to get back at it.
I really enjoyed Mario Tennis Aces, but then I also don't own Switch Sports. For me, the latter would be largely a waste because I can't use motion controls. I hate when super popular sports games are only really playable/enjoyable for more able-bodied people. Like, I totally understand why people love motion controls so much, but accessibility options would be really nice as well.
That said, my biggest regret would be Pokemon Scarlet/Violet. I put a few hundred hours into Arceus (and have enjoyed previous entries as well), but I just couldn't get into this one. I tried repeatedly to get myself hooked, but ultimately found myself wanting to play something else every time I booted it up. I'm sure plenty of people liked it, but it really wasn't for me.
Switch Sports is garbage,it's a slp in the face to Wii Sports,the characters are ugly asf,where's the original Miis??
I loved pioneers of olive town I feel like people are a little too hard on it. Once I got into it, I was addicted. It was the game that caused me to buy my own switch instead of borrowing my bf’s one 😅
I also really love it! But to be fair, I play farming sims for the crop and mostly for the farm animals, so of course I had a blast in this one as there are so many animals to get! 😂
I loved it too. I'm in the farming sims just for the farming & livestock... and the livestock in this are adorable. I never pay attention to the social aspect of these games. I also lost 2 of my cats recently... and I adopted similar looking ones in-game and they went to live there 😢
Nah, the critique about this game is definitely deserved. Especially the part about the villagers is true, they‘re so lifeless
Getting into Olive town after they fixed the makers issue is way different to the launch experience. Couldn't move for the amount of makers you had to have at the start.
I agree with you & people have no heart on that game at all during launch day last year in 2021 & I enjoy the game a lot now the story & the gameplay & the music & the character & the animal & the townspeople are freaking adorable & amazing too & the marriage candidates are so freaking adorable & seeing the marriage candidates cry in a child event on Nintendo switch is super rare seeing it in the story of seasons games & it is so emotional & I almost tear up when I see Damon cry in the child event & I hope u reach the part of the game in the future
Olive Town, but in particular the DLC. I am not used to buying DLC and the only DLC’s I ever really bought in the past were World of Warcraft expansion packs, Sim’s expansion packs and Pokemon Sword and Shield DLC. I thought that if I got the DLC we would not only get older characters but new areas and with how empty and small Olive town felt I was hoping for a proper forest at least. Let’s just say I was really disappointed when the first half came out, especially since I am not always big on previous SoS or HM characters appearing in new games. So, yeah, Olive town’s DLC was a big regret on my part
I regret getting DDV. Not even because of the gameplay, but the outrageous payment they’re charging for different colored items. The Scrooge McDuck skin is $8.99. The Sims 4’s Stuff Pack is $9.99.
I’m super glad I only got the base model for $22. Sure isn’t worth $69. (Dream light valley) Just today alone I had to totally get out of the game multiple times because I got stuck due to glitches.
After trying Age of Calamity's demo, I decided I didn't like the gameplay. But I did want to know the story so... I just ended up looking for the cut scenes. I feel like I didn't miss out on much.
I'm debating this option right now after having downloaded the demo last night. I JUST played BotW for the first time over the past 6 weeks, beat Ganon last week.
@@oldgirlgamerchristine7584 Oh wow! I've been playing since February and I've yet to approach any of the Diving Beasts haha.
I didn't really enjoy much the demo, and as Eowna said the gameplay doesn't change much as you go. I really love playing games for the story, so I decided to cut my losses.
@@oldgirlgamerchristine7584 I think the game is fun if you have someone to play it with, however I personally really love the games (just love being able to smash through enemies lol) so really think if you like the formate of the games then go for it if not don’t :) I love Zelda and fire emblem + warriors games so if you don’t like the hack and slash type game play maybe it’s not for you. If you have any questions I’ll be more than happy to answer tho :)
mine would be my time at portia. im not a person who particularly minds if there are some frame drops and minor issues like that, but when its constantly and affects gameplay, crashes, loses saves, it was just way too hard. dropped it after like 10 hours. but i cant wait to play it (and sandrock) on the deck when i get one (dont have a pc)!!
That sponsorship is convincing! I’m the same as you where I could never imagine standing at my desk but you’re tempting me!
I’ve had my play on Dreamlight and ultimately I grew severely disappointed in it as time went on. It ALMOST was a good one. There were so many features I wanted in the game and they missed the mark. Not to mention the constant bugs one in particular the camera zooming off out of nowhere and text boxes appearing for no reason, constant lag and the micro transactions among other things. I don’t miss playing it honestly
ikr
Not almost, it IS a good one. Its sad pwoplw dont want to keep playing
@@ChicagoMel23 to each their own
I regret buying Witchcrafty. Moments of storyline were few and far inbetween. But the worst part is on regular mode, each checkpoint takes more than 15 minutes to get to, and it’s not easy. I found myself getting 14 minutes in, being able to see the checkpoint in the distance and then dying and having to start completely over. You also only have 3 hearts and finding health in game was really rare. Also, there is no such thing as half hearts. You barely scrape by a stinging plant and you lose an entire heart. You get hit by a projectile, lose a full heart.
I also regret buying Terraria. I’ve wanted that game since I was pretty young but I grew up without access to any of it so when I found it on the switch I was so excited. But I wish I had held off until I get a gaming laptop or PC. Because why. Is everything. So. Small. And there’s no zooming in. Also I found placing individual blocks with the controllers incredibly tedious
Yeah I love Terraria so much and I got a lot of time in it on switch but its so tedious and 100% better designed for mouse and keyboard.
That’s how I felt playing Minecraft on Switch. As a complete newbie I just could *not* get a handle on the controls and all the menus
Terraria on switch was so hard on my eyes. I don’t have a gaming pc so I caved and bought it on the switch but not only did I have to spend two hours rebinding every key to still end up not getting used to it, but also couldn’t see anything even on my tv so had to play sitting two feet away from the tv lol was still addicted for a while but couldn’t pick it up after a few hours
I am really grateful for all the cozy games that get released or are included in the ps plus. Was able to find a lot of your recommended games on the ps5. And am lucky that with DDV I have no issues at all. I have it on switch as well and I can't deal with it. Def not optimized for the switch console. Used to love my switch. But I mostly try my luck finding the games on different consoles unless it's exclusives.
Hiii speaking about the standing desk, do you have a video on your streaming set up? How do you create the webcam and chat layout ❤❤
I agree with you on Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity. Felt repetitive and the frame rate kept dropping. Thankfully, I was able to return it at ThinkGeek. Likewise Smash Bros. Just couldn’t get into it and quickly returned it to GameStop with a sad story in tow.
I regret getting stardew valley (hides) haha.. could not get into it. I somehow always ran out of time while out trying to figure out what to do. I don’t get it and wish I could get a refund.
The jury is still out in DDLV. I only play on Switch and hate decorating on it, but I refuse to buy it on Mac, as I don’t believe Gameloft deserves another penny from me, so I just do what I can for now, until another game catches my attention.
Not liking Stardew Valley is valid. No game, no matter how popular is for everyone. And I get the wanting to hide. I don't like Breath of the Wild and am not going to play Tears of the Kingdom. But like EVERYBODY loves those SO. MUCH. Its hard to admit to not liking it.
Playing Mario Strikers: Battle League was like biting into soggy bread 😭
Eeowna Mario Golf does have a single player campaign. I loved playing that mode, the story wasnt that interesting, however I did love the challenges.
I wholeheartedly agree with your Splatoon 3 take. It’s good, and I have the DLC for it, but I don’t enjoy the campaign as much, and I don’t like the multiplayer levels as much either. Salmon Run is still fantastic.
Months and months later the switch version of dreamlight valley still being bugged like that is just sad, I have been waiting so long for this to be fixed but I guess i’ll never enjoy that game at any point now
and the micro transaction prices too on top of the bugs
Have you tried playing offline? I don’t have nearly the issues playing offline.
I regret My Time at Portia due to most issues you've had with Hokko Life. The game seems fun and interesting but the graphics are rough and the loading times are ridiculous. I played for a bit and will say the dialogue is very funny
Me too! I’m only not as regretful because I bought it when it was on sale 😢
Thank you so much for this video!!
Games I kinda regret buying is Smash for the same reason and a cozy game called Grow where take care of some kind of world tree. I stopped playing it after growing... The third world I believe? It's just so repetitive after a while and I'm not always happy with the controls 🙈 I do plan on picking it up again tho to finish it 😅
I agree with nearly everything game you listed. I just cant play disney anymore, it still crashes and I cant decorate outside because I fine it so frustrating. But I am hoping to try a different version at some point.
I only have crashes when I’m online so maybe try playing it offline.
I regret buying Luigi's mansion 3 🥲 I'm not good at it, rage quit because of it a lot and just don't touch it anymore sadly (I didn't even finish it)
Oh my god, same! The game has so much going for it (love the ghost doggo), but I felt like I could never get a hang of the controls
@@Anni_ka same here!!
I'm deeply disappointed with Bear and Breakfast. The mecanics is so clunky on the Switch. I liked exploring but the management part is not as fun.
Thank you for this video, Eeowna! I agree with you on DDLV, it's so buggy and stuttery on the Switch, I really hope they fix those issues soon as it's the only way for me to play the game. For that reason, I put the game down for many months before picking it up again recently. While the crashes have improved, it's still not a pleasure to play. Another regret for me personally is My Time at Portia. I simply could not get into it despite trying for a few days and haven't picked it up in over a year. While I love farming & crafting games, I found the many reviews comparing it to Stardew Valley very misleading. It feels nothing like it imo. The mining was fun despite being a bit glitchy and clunky on my Switch Lite, but overall, it left me with a bizarre feeling due to awkward voice acting and unappealing character designs. I love unique art directions in games (like Night in the Woods, Okami, Journey) but the one in MTaP just didn't resonate with me unfortunately.
Dreamlight Valley only crashes for me when I am online so you could try that.
A game I regret buying is Little Dragons Cafe. It looks so cute, but there's hardy any content in the game.
I regret buying Hollow Knight. It was so recommended by all gamer TH-camrs and I just could not enjoy it because of the save mechanic.
PS: I adore your setup! Recently got the same table on a discount and now I'm working standing a few hours a day
Thank you so much! I’m defo not an aesthetic cozy gamer but I did clean off all of my monster cans for this hahahaa
I get you I loved hollow knight but then it got so hard and benches were too far I just gave up lol but I love the gameplay if only there was like easy mode
Felt this, I don’t think I’m skilled enough to play Hollow Knight, but I’m still thinking of eventually buying Ori since I think that game’s easier. Maybe. Still unsure xD Game is pretty though!
@@lostpeonies I have Ori and I completed it up to a point where the amount of times I died made me hate the game and myself for being so clumsy and I was already at the easiest difficulty. It’s a beautiful game though and I really wanted to compete it 🙃 I suggest you get it when its heavily discounted
