Stardew Valley vs 3oT? buying both?

modernmorphling · Post Posted: Feb 07, 2017 8:53 am

Is it worth it to buy Stardew Valley to play it? Or should I wait for 3oT to come out and play that instead? Or should I just buy both games?

Is SdV a fully complete game that's ready to be played? or is it in Alpha or Beta mode now? Is buying the game's 15 dollar download mening that I'm buying the full version of the game?

We can't tell you whether you should buy a game or not, so I'd recommend just doing some research and deciding for yourself!
Stardew Valley is a complete game, and the developer will probably add in more content in the future. You get the full game for $15/£12 or whatever idk. It has the advantage of being on the PC so you can download mods etc which is fun! Or you can get it on some consoles like the PS4 and WiiU. 3oT will just be for the 3DS. Just some things to consider, yo.

I personally *love* Stardew Valley, but I don't know what kind of gameplay you like. I guess you could try looking up some reviews and gameplay on youtube and seeing what you think.

Sorry but I have to ask, what is 3oT?

3oT -> Trio of Towns. The second game in Story of Seasons (the new Harvest Moon). It's being released this month in NA I think. You lucky Americans...

Both!

Stardew valley might get some smaller updates (+ multiplayer?) released, but it's pretty much complete. It has old-school harvest moon's charm and I think $15 is more than worth it. Look up some reviews or gameplay videos if you're unsure if you want to buy it.

Personally loved Story of Seasons, so I hope the sequel is just as great.

You could also buy Stardew Valley now and play that until ToT is released.

...But it's your money, and your choice.

If you have the money and the wish to play both then get both; but I can personally say stardew is a very good game (despite it's graphics) and 3oT I don't know personally but it looks good and from what I've seen also seems to be very good. Long story short it's up to you!

I agree with others - Stardew is a must have. Seriously

Well ... dang. I didn't even know about this one. Got to pre-order it now.

@LeBurns: Here's the forum: http://fogu.com/hmforum/viewforum.php?f=32
Here's some info about the game:

Copy and paste. Don't know if you want the bachelorettes. Can't find it so yeah.
Gosh, Hinata and Wayne are so cuuute. *sighs* I actually don't know which one's better now. Hinata? Or Wayne? Arrgggh! *dies of cuteness*

As for StV vs 3oT, I've not played any of them so I have no idea.

Thank you for the links. Need to get caught up.

I did find some info about a DLC they may or may not add to the NA version. Not sure how I feel about that. Fire Emblem is DLC crazy enough without other games jumping into the fray. Only DLC I've bought so far for a 3DS game was Fantasy Life and I will say that was well worth it for what it added.

Yeah a lot of people are complaining about that DLC. Well, it depends if you want to marry Woofio or Stephanie. I'd just buy it and get over with it, but that's just me.

Well I know on this forum it always about who you can bang, but the DLC apparently adds a lot of other stuff as well. Would love to have it, but we'll see I guess.

To get back on track a bit in the thread. To the OP, I obviously prefer 3oT over Stardew Valley. Not sure why SV doesn't appeal to me but I guess it has to be the graphics. Yeah I know they shouldn't mean that much, but I've watched many game-play vids on YouTube and it's something I just don't think I can get past. Unfortunately I'm missing a lot of great games on STEAM because of that.

Yeah, I would probably prefer 3oT. The characters in StV aren't very appealing to me. I actually preferred the bachelors in SoS than in SoS:3oT. It might be because Ford is creepy (dorito face). I loved Fritz in SoS, and I'll probably love Wayne and Hinata too.
