Whaaaaaaat!?!? I thought this was a small update? Seasonal changes to characters, new festivals (I think these are both firsts) plus new quests? Can someone please check on CA and make sure he hasn’t literally burnt out from all the work he is doing to get people quality content?
Stardew had 100% ruined my expectations of games. I didn’t even want to play the Story of Seasons game that got released on GamePass and that was the game that got me into farming sims (the original Harvest Moon version).
Also isn’t he making a whole other game???
Like, this is Brandon Sanderson level of “I relax from working on my projects by working on another project”
This game really was the buy of the century. It just keeps getting free updates. 8 player multiplayer sounds great but it seems a stretch to hope for couch coop for 8 players.
This game really was the buy of the century
Almost. Don’t get me wrong, I FUCKING LOVE Stardew Valley, got 300+ hours in it, but Terraria was like $2 for ages and it’s every bit as good and still getting updates as well
Who said we can’t have three or four games that were the buy of the century?
Pedantically, the “the” in “the buy of the century” did. Unless you bought them together.
You drive a hard bargain, but I can accept that :P
I saw an interesting comment today regarding Halo Infinite and it’s lack of couch co-op, the user was basically saying it doesn’t matter as much as it used to and I guess it’s true. Even if he got 8 player local co-op working, how many people would get 7 other people to come round and play? It’s hard to essentially do a LAN party these days when you can play the same game online together from the comfort of your own home.
I really wanted at least 2 player splitscreen to work on both mcc and infinite on pc, I’d love to play it with my girlfriend but it’s dumb if she has to not only buy the game again and play on a tiny screen next to me while i play on the big screen (i use my pc a HTPC in a gaming room, more like a console than a PC)
Does split screen still not work? I’m pretty sure it doesn’t for MCC at least, and you can use the home console trick to give two accounts access. That’s how I played MCC on Xbox with my fiancé so I know you can do it, but I don’t know how it would work if you don’t use a console at all.
Infinite and MCC definitely do not have split screen on PC. Only on console. Although I’d love to be corrected on this.
Well me and my three kids play Stardew Valley. My wife and I take turns, but if we can see what’s happening on 5 player couch coop we would probably play it like that.
College kids? Large families?
Honestly, I doubt it would be a large demographic. It’s hard to get people to even play something splitscreen, why would a bunch of friends huddle around a TV so they can see their small section of screen when they could just play on laptops together even.
As good of a buy as Minecraft was, last decade.
I got Minecraft for $10 during I think alpha. I downloaded the demo, spent several hours playing it, then bought it. As someone who never makes decisions that quickly it was a great impulse buy that I used for years.
A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.
8 player multiplayer?? How does that even look in a game like that, it must be pure chaos
ConcernedApe continuing to be legendary. I’ve not played Stardew for a long time but knowing this game made this game was made by one person… the coding… the story… the graphics… the music. It’s just mind boggling. Absolutely amazing.
I should start a new character and experience all the stuff that’s been added.
Fuck, I am just finishing up my 1.5 playthrough. Guess I better get another save file ready
Stardew is such a nice game, only game I’ve ever bought on steam, switch and android
