First impressions
I'm a bit late to the party, but I've also been playing! I've been playing about 3 hours a day since Friday, and I somehow beat the story already so why not, I'll share my first impressions as well.
Pros:
Cons:
Indifferent:
I wonder if in the end, I'll end up liking this game more than Olive Town. I doubt it, but sadly PoOT just keeps looking worse and worse each day. At least with One World, my expectations were already at rock bottom which resulted in me being quite impressed with how the game turned out! PoOT just makes me sad realizing that I waited 5 years after 3oT on the 3DS for a "meh" game on the switch.

I agree. A lot of people loved Doc so it makes little sense why doc jr isn’t available. Especially since you’re next door neighbors at the start of the game and you grew up together.Briarwyn wrote:Is it disappointing that Doc Jr. is not a bachelor, in the game?
Missed opportunity imo.
Just finished two towns at the same time which was cool. The desert and the uh....town before the winter village (all the names of the towns eluded me.)
I was living in the desert working on that one, and unlocked the other one so I decided to do both. Ironically I finished them exactly one day apart from each other. So one more town to go but I’m horribly unprepared

I haven't watched it as of yet, but...in my Youtube recommends, Giant Bomb did a video looking at One World.
Havta agree too. Why make Doc Jr so young if you're not gonna make him a candidate? I wonder if maybe that was the plan and it had to be scrapped (being that there's one descendant of each gender).Kross lover/fan wrote:I agree.

This is actually super ironic. Just a little while ago I was finishing up the story and it was starting to get a little laggy and stuttering again. I was making sure to save in between tasks just in case. The morning I was able to go finish the story I started walking toward the Spring thinking, "Wouldn't it be crazy if it crashes during the ending since it seems to get more laggy around events?" Lo and behold, as soon as I trigger the start of scene, the game freezes up and then crashes, lol! After I fired it back up everything was running normal again and I got the ending.Mothership wrote:Bah. Game was lagging badly, then software closed due to an error.
Now I have toAnother thing to put on my don't like list for this game.Spoiler:
Aside from technical issues and a few quality of life things, I think it turned out to be a pretty decent game. I ended up liking the gameplay, story, and characters better than Skytree Village's, so I think Natsume's headed in the right direction. I liked it well enough I may continue that file to marry and have a kid, and possibly even try to work on mutations on purpose. I didn't love it, (the list of games I actually love is pretty short) but I liked it enough I could potentially play through it again sometime.

For everyone having issues with the game freezing or crashing, have you tried to power your switch off completely and turn it on fresh to see if that helps? I haven't personally encountered any of these issues yet, but I know powering the switch down can fix these sorts of issues in some other games. I think most people usually just put their switch to sleep, and some people don't know you can turn it off at all, so I figured I would ask just in case it might help someone
:/ I will say trying to reset the Switch before playing stopped crashes in My Time at Portia, which also had some Switch optimization issues... All I've had is stuttering, though when that gets really bad I just stop the character for a few seconds, hoping to stop a crash. (Not that what I'm doing is helping, I have no idea.)
Got my first Equestrian Festival, which was...something. Spoiler tag just in case.

That's true, I had a rough time during my first Portia playthrough because of it glitching too much and/or freezing causing me to need to reset it to get it to function again. It hasn't been as bad the second time, except for the game getting stuck in a kissing loop at night, so I had to redo the whole day again. At least One World lets you save on demand. Resetting or restarting the system isn't a bad idea. I will have to try it the next lag session.
