One of the biggest gaming understatements of recent memory, my man. If a game was made to get people through 2020, it’s Stardew. Stardew is therapy. AC is tedium incarnate.
I’ve ome back to Stardew Valley again and again. I’ve played about 16 in game years across 3 save files, and I’m still not tired of it. I can’t wait for 1.5. And yet, it still hasn’t become tedious. Animal Crossing became so tedious, so, so tedious. I love Nintendo (I have since I was a kid in the late 80s, haven given them many thousands of dollars), but everything bad about Nintendo, is amplified in this game to the max. The tedium and the failed online being the main ones. I can’t connect to the characters, they are annoying and un-relatable. In Stardew, they are charming and relatable, with back stories. And this connection applies to almost all systems of Stardew, just as they utterly fail in almost all systems of Animal Crossing.
I’m so glad you agree! I always felt as if Nintendo realized they didn’t even need to try to get a game to sell, and all they needed was to slap some iconic characters from older, better games, give you more options, and that’s all. It REALLY showed throughout the game that they just gave up (with the boring characters, tedious chores, etc). Even when played over a long period of time I put it down WAY earlier than Stardew Valley, a game not based on real life time. It’s great to know a Nintendo veteran has my back here 😁
you wrote a whole essay, A+
If I were your English teacher you’d have a perfect grade
I will be honest I completely agree that stardew is better then new horizons. But I think your argument is unfair , there 2 compliantly different games. One is about making your dream island with building and crafting being similar to Minecraft. While stardew has little to do with building. I think you have to realize people play games for different reasons and if it was a horrible tedious game then no one would play it.
I know I know I know they are different games but just remember 0:53
i never knew how much i missed being verbally abused by fictional characters till hailey told me i was ugly.
Not so relatable tbh
I asked her to the spring dance with me and she said “ew... no”
loser lol
You have to get her to like you
Lol same if you play animal crossing wild world the npcs are so rude its hilarious
Stardew is a very calming game unless you go to frickin skull cavern
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Bombs.... The secret ingredients are bombs
Also trading Jade in for staircases and using crabpots to make tons of Sashimi to shove down your throat.
Get stardew expanded so the galaxy sword deals like twice as much damage, get some iridium quality berries, eat some spicy eel, bring some bombs, keep your health above half, and it becomes the most fun part of the game
Stardew expanded?
It's been 1 month since I've installed stardew valley, I'm already in year 10 help
I- how??
Oh my god
WHA- bro I've had it since 2016 and I'm only on year 3...
Do u just sleep every game hour or something..¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@austinbrown6340 no offense austin but you do realize you could sleep while mining right
i didn’t know stardew valley existed until recently and it’s become an escape from reality. i love it sm. i played animal crossing before and ac new horizons is purely based on making your island look nice and talking to animals. i love stardew bc there’s a real story, amazing different npc, you actually have to worry about your crops and animals. its so fun.
Fun indeed
yep

I totally agree. Honestly if Stardew Valley got the same amount of hype animal crossing did I think a lot of people would share this opinion.
Freaking Nintendo
Iirc Stardew Valley has sold like 100 million copies
It's pretty hyped, but not as audibly hyped I guess?
It’s pretty audily hyped just not as much as ac
@@tydshiin5783 it has only sold 10 million and Animal crossing sold like 40 million or somethig near that.
@@tydshiin5783 sdv reached 20 million copies recently, while acnh sold about 40 million. and if you take into consideration how sdv sold 400k first two weeks while acnh sold 11 million the first two weeks,, animal crossing is a whole lot more hyped. but i guess animal crossing’s release date being in the same time as quarantine probably dealt a huge difference in the copies sold so
The game should be an official cure for depression.

My friend lent me her switch to try out animal crossing. I gave it back to her within a week and even gave up on Sims 4 to play Stardew Valley. It's such a soothing game.
Dang, that’s dedication
I can’t give up on sims4 lol
Also stardew valley has a bunch of content you don’t need to pay. Unlike the sims 4 since ea likes money.
@@Eventualmoss315 fan of stardew valley a while back paid for other fans who couldnt afford it on reddit for the game to not be pirated, i dont know if this ever happened ever again
I gave up on the sims for stardew too
The reason you’ve spent ten times the hours on animal crossing is cause it takes ten times as long to DO ANYTHING
Lololol. As much as I agree with that statement it was actually mainly cause I got the game and then immediately made the video. I now have more than twice the amount of hours on Stardew than I do on ACNH.
THiS. I wish some people would realize this...
The blue rose part was hilarious.
what is the thumbnail to you guys? For me it’s my wife and a crook.

Excuse me, Tom Nook build you a whole house and *OF course* you have to pay for it. He’s kind enough to give you a loan with _NO INTEREST_ and an *endless amount of time to pay it off.* Not to mention in some games he lets you work for him, and he always gives you a chance to earn money by buying your stuff. Timmy and Tommy will literally buy garbage from you (most likely with Tom Nooks money) only for you to give it back to him while paying off the loan. I will not take any Tom Nook slander here.
Hoping that YT's algorithm picks this up. Pretty much completed all of Stardew Valley, and it's so much more superior to Animal Crossing in almost all aspects.
I’ve never tried stardew valley, what’s it like?
Is it the same, slow and real-time pace or is it much faster and requires a lot of grinding?
I like my games grindy to the point of dedication, but not grindy to the point of redundant-ness...
@@rapha2028 I think it depends on how you play, it can be grindy if you're spending the day chopping down trees on your farm or going the mines and trying get more materials. But there is a limit to how grindy due to the time system of your character passing out at 2 am but besides that I'd say it can be.

My jaw DROPPED when you showed all those blue roses. Great video! I personally prefer AC to Stardew but you addressed a lot of the complaints I have with New Horizons. Def got a sub!
My main problem with New horizons is the fact that new leaf was so much more fun.
@@nevergivingup3434 That and the fact that all characters have no more than 11 different lines of dialogue makes the game feel stale, not to mention different personalities have their own dialogue which means if you have two smug villagers you're gonna be hearing the exact same stuff from both of them
@@goose7618 Which was the same in all other AC games.
stardew being a deeper game than you think that was all designed, coded, composed the music, all the art made, etc by one person
It’s incredible and inspiring how great indie games can be
Loved the video and appreciate the recognition of a great game, Stardew Valley. It can be overlooked but deserves a lot of love.
no farming game will ever beat stardew valley, especially because of shane's backstory. :(
AC is missing the character depth of the older versions where they had personality more than just being cute and nice, but also they would randomly move in and out of the town, though sometimes you could convince them to stay with enough letters and such. New Horizons they will not leave unless they get a thought bubble and then you specifically permit them to leave. Yea it gives more control over your island to show it off to people but it also is stagnant
Stagnant indeed
Stagnant? Then just have them leave every time they want to. I would play CF every day just to keep animals from moving and flowers from wilting, only to have a villager move out, because I didn't notice they want to move. If anything is tedious, it's that. The fact that everyone would be there even if I wouldn't play ACNH for half a year, is exactly why I play it regularly.
I agree. I got AC about 4 months ago and played it for around 60-70 hours. I started to lose interest in the game because I never felt like there was much to keep me going. But stardew on the other hand I got probably a week ago and have been playing it nonstop with almost no end in sight. The game is just so addictive. It feels like there is so much about stardew that I dont know but I felt like I knew everything about Animal Crossing 10 hours in. Stardew has so much more depth. And it was made by one person. ONE PERSON
I had play at least 120 hours (healthily since its release on mobile 😁) on Stardew Valley, seriously it just brings me back the great and wonderful nostalgia of Harvest Moon.😆
I’ve spent 500+ hours in Stardew and I still want to play, how is it so good!?
319 hours here lol! I am already on Year 7 and bought almost everything. I stop once in a while when I get bored but still enjoys the game everytime I start playing again. Imma try doing the wicked mode where monsters attack my farm and also try getting divorce haha!
5:09 Number 15: Dominant and recessive traits. The last thing you want on your Animal Crossing Video game is a complicated math equation, but that may be what you get.
Lol
Ooooh I get it now, I said it in the same tone, yeah that’s pretty funny
@@Craftymint6 ima get acnh cause i have just under 1000 hours in stardew and i havnt got much to do now lol
Passing out in skull cavern and waking up at your farm house and petting animals with the same adrenaline level and fight or flight response just doesn't hit as hard as animal crossing
Lol
My niece and nephew got a nintendo switch for Christmas. I have one myself so im always trying to find games they will like and can play together. So far they are loving super mario odyssey and mario bros deluxe. I wanted to get them animal crossing but I was thinking about getting them stardew valley first to see they like it.
I thought I would have loved animal crossing the most out of all my games, doesn't even come in top 5. Stardew is one of, if not my favorite game. I played it awhile ago but stopped playing due to other problems. 2 days ago I started playing again, and I love it so much. Currently I'm halfway through fall in the first year, and I'm having so much fun doing everything in the game, although losing money due to stamina and bedtime is annoying. But anyways, this is a really good video dude. Your editing is good, the way you talk is so amazing. You deserve SO much more attention lmao
Stardew will keep your attention for more than just the fall of the first year, it always does for everyone, you’re in for a treat! And thanks my guy, I try to put my love into these videos
That why u keep ur money low on stardew.. Just keep everything in box and sell them just when u need the money.. For stam just eat some food/fish
In my opinion.
Gameplay wise, stardew is better.
Aesthetically, AC is better.
I still think Stardew’s Aesthetic is better, but I still stand by what you say, Animals Crossing’s strong suit is it’s aesthetic
I actually like the stardew Valley aesthetic better it's more nostalgic and personally I don't really care about a game's graphics too much
Same here
The biggest crime about Animal Crossing is the absolute grindfest it is to get 30 iron nuggets
So true!!! 😂😂🥲🤣🤣😂🤣😇🙂😇🙂😇😇🤣🤣😇
I love them both! I like animal crossing to talk to villagers as much as I want yet I can’t play it for hours Started valley what so ever I love The farming aspect and that you can have relationships with villagers farther then animal crossing and if can play it for hours!
Great video. Very well made. Definitely deserves more attention. Keep up the good work.
I clicked on the video and watched all the way through, and i looked at your subs and was like ?????? dude you deserve so much more, fantastic video!
I think what makes Stardew Valley such a popular game is that you can take it at your own pace. You can methodically strategize so you get all the major things done in a few years, or you can just meander around and get there when you get there. I haven't played Animal Crossing, but from what I've seen, it only really has one pace. This can be good for some people, but for others it can be annoying.
Absolutely, there’s so much freedom for how you want to play the game
Hmm i understand what you're saying but i love animal crossing. Ive played for 700+ hours. In comparison i played stardew for 200.
My problem with stardew is that once i finished the main story i didnt have a reason to play. The customization avaliable to you in acnh is great. I love designing my island. I can always change up my island so i never get bored of acnh.
i agree that acnh is tedious in crafting and going through certain dialogue. I wish the villagers had more complex personalities.
But for me i love having creative control over my island, choosing residents, decorating the island. Stardew valley and acnh are both chill games but i think they are different types of games. One feels like a sandbox, the other a crafted story. Both are great
Yup, you definitely seem like your playstyle fits AC a lot more than Stardew Valley. Somethingn imma just mention is that Stardew also gives you a lit of decorative options, they aren’t just plain out given to you. Plus in the game there is no true “main story” in my opinion, there are tons of small stories for each character you come across and it’s fun to go through their lives. That’s my opinion anyway, I can still see why you play AC and I encourage you to continue
@@Craftymint6 I think having no main story fits the game, life doesn't have a story and thats what its trying to repulicate, everyone has different life styles and plays the game a different way that a story just wouldn't feel like the game was personalised to you.
Yup that’s a great thing about Stardew
Not only is the video good, but you are very underrated and the thumbnail is gold
I loved the Animal Crossing series and was happy to hear the next game was coming out. When I finally got it in May, it felt a little.. undone. A lot of the features that you would have thought would have been added were just.. not there. They came with the updates, but it was a bit irritating that none of the features were already with the game. I love it, it's just really hard to stay on it after a while and just.. one island per switch. And the online mechanics? Please.
Ah yes I was a really swell AC fan too, I’d play New Leaf for months on end. New Horizons was just a disappointment I’m sad to say. The main reason I stuck to it is cause I love doing genetics puzzles with the flowers, and that’s not even supposed to be a key part of the game (as explained). Me and you, brother
This. At first I was content with AC, because I wasn’t really sure what to do in SV. Then AC got too boring and tedious for me, I couldn’t continue and I’m still not sure if I’m Interested in even getting to a 5 star island. I picked SV back up, and just got sucked in.. it feels much more mature, and I like that you actually have consequences to some actions in the game, and more than one goals to hit. The game really feels endless, even when taking care of animals feels tedious lol.
It's actually mature game. The story of Shane are mature.
Yeah i sunk hours into ac and i love thr stylr and many aspects, colleting items etc... But then i just completely lost interest in it and haven't picked it up since. But still, it was a good time! I think ill try Stardew Valley next, though im not anfan of the pixelated style (but im guessing the game is so good nobody cares in the end!)
Great video, really well done, nicely formated and funny.
However, from my point of view, it's really not possible to compare Stardew to ACNH; they may seem similar on the surface but both aim to acomplish completely different things.
Stardew is the game you play when you want a more fast paced, interactive experience that'll take hours of your day. ACNH is the game you play for a more relaxing experience and to have a little something to look forward to each day, and the real-time system complements that goal really well. After you've made your island the way you want it, you're really not meant to play more than 2 or 3 hours a day.
A great way to visualize the difference between these games is the fishing (which you've talked about, but leaning more towards the "active" side of things). Stardew's fishing is fast paced (especially for harder to catch fish) and requires your constant attention. It's more "gamey" I guess. ACNH's fishing is the kind of thing you can turn your mind off to do, it's the type of thing you can do to get away from the world a bit and chill to the sound of rustling leaves. Again, it's unfair to compare them because of how different their goals are.
Of course, I know this entire video is just your opinion on things but I feel bad whenever I see someone saying one is better than the other because it's like saying Chrono Trigger is better than Mario Kart, it's an apples/oranges situation from where I stand.
Adding to this, NH does have a lot of flaws (such as the fish bait situation and the villager dialogue getting bland), and for those points I agree. The game needs a lot of improvement. But again, I do think it's better to compare them to past AC games, not an entirely different franchise; just like how you could say Minecraft's crafting system is better than ACNH's and be right but that'd still be seen as kinda silly.
Damn. I don’t what to say other than that I completely agree. It’s true I’m more into activity where I’m making constant progress instead of letting go of headspace. Yes, I’ve tried to make it clear that it’s an opinion and these are the kind of comments I love to read, different ideas from the community and different perspectives.
they're not similar but they're similar
You basically did my same thing😂
I've played animal crossing new horizons since my birthday and it is my 4th game in the saga (Wild World, City folk and new leaf) but then... Steam summer sales came.
Of course I've searched in the store for a game I could buy becuase I needed to have maximum 30€ for a 5€ discount, and then, searching and searching, I've seen Stardew Valley, and it had the right price, I was like:"Oh yes let's start a new game, I mean, it's like Animal crossing for some ways"
You know what, I've been playing a lot of Stardew in this days and I do prefer Stardew in some ways, and Animal Crossing in other ways.
Nice video, subscribed!
I definitely agree that Animal Crossing can be liked in different ways than Stardew, even though they’re both life sims they have so much different playstyle, my playstyle faces more towards Stardew but even with different playstyles, Stardew is literally a freaking improvement to AC’s mistakes lmao
as someone who loves both stardew and animal crossing to death, I think I prefer animal crossing. not because one game is necessary superior to the other, it's just that a slow game like animal crossing is what I need at this time in my life. whenever I play stardew I always cram in everything I need to do because I don't want to waste a single day. with animal crossing, however, I can just... be. without having to worry about the future. that's just me though, and your points are valid too!
Thank you! And yeah this video reflects a ton on my play style and I’m glad you noticed.
Yeah I prefer it too, I also don't enjoy rpg games too much but i'm trying to like them since I've tried pokemon a few times and I want to try stardew valley again. While Animal Crossing is a rpg its not the typical one. It feels more like a simulation which I really enjoy and I just prefer the feeling animal crossing gives me and the way it looks.
Solid video I am strongly on the side of stardew I just don't understand AC hype I'm trying it out but can't seem to find the appeal over stardew especially when on stardew I have mods... Well on Android and PC anyway
How do you mod on android
Its weird since its the opposite for me, I may try Stardew valley again since I still have it but I don't really like rpg games that much.
This video was really helpful!! I definitely wanna get stardew valley now! You deserve way more views! ❤😌
Although this review is slightly biased, it is a really good review. Definitely kept my attention the whole video
Every review is biased. lol

@@Craftymint6 awesome! I'll add you now. blue roses here i come! :D
Animal Crossing has always been my go-to but sadly this new incarnation, i have to agree with you. It seems that they just made it into a build-your-own-island simulator and scrapped anything that gave it it's charm. (the vast amounts of furniture, the villager relationships, etc)
YES
Dang. In my opinion I thought Breath of the Wild contributed to some of the ways Animal Crossing messed up, but they used that factor of doing what you want stuff in a really exciting way, so I have nothing to complain about.
@@Craftymint6 Mm, i think it's the fact that AC has been living in it's own bubble. New Leaf was the first game that really let you create your island to your liking with PWPs and more use of custom pathing by the community. Island designers were a very vocal part of NL so I assume they saw that and went 'oh thats what they want'. Not to mention villagers have been slowly dripping out of personality over the years, I think my favourite iteration of them was in Wild World and that was in 2005. BoTW does a great job of going 'here, we are throwing you in, do what you want' because it was designed to be open, you can do things so many ways but NH for the most part is still a very conformed experience imo because it was never meant to be this grandiose thing, it was always meant to be contained and simple for the most part.
Fluffy bear yeah Nintendo is slowly losing sight of what’s important in their games. callie Without a doubt AC games were so much better in the past
Which Animal Crossdressing game is the best in your opinion?
i enjoyed this wayyyyy to much, when you talked about the blue roses lol i heard that commercial where all they say is "free"

ooh i really liked the video, you are hilarious and yeah i really love stardew valley. My cheap ass dont ever pay for anything so i always download games on google especially games where you need to buy to play but with stardew valley im willing to pay my fricking savings just to support the creator for making such an amazing game
also you earned a new subcriber, hi!
Oh yeah it seems like an even greater choice when you consider that Stardew Valley is 20 bucks or less and ACNH is 60 bucks. And thanks for the support ❤️
Great video! Would love to see more like it. Subbed.
I think Animal Crossing is relaxing, it looks better and I prefer it way more to stardew valley. I just love the villagers it’s a lot less complicated and your character is so cute. I like and play Stardew Valley but I prefer Animal Crossing but that’s just my opinion.
I was wondering if AC was still worth buying, and you just convinced me to play more Stardew Valley lol.
My main problem with Stardew is that dialogues repeat a lot, it kind of breaks the immersion for me.
I have never felt that dialogues repeat themselves, you’ve probably just been doing the same thing over and over. I’ve modded this game and edited the dialogue of Alex to change it to a person I know IRL and wow there are TONS of dialogue for the characters in the game, all depending on day of the week, place, wheather, season, or gender you are. And that’s not even including marriage and cutscene dialogue. And yeah it doesn’t have limitless script but it has a ton more than AC.
there's additional mod dialogue in nexus tho. But last time I check is not compatible with 1.5 update which is ashame...
I’ve tried it out and it was the cool
@@Craftymint6 what? I always get the same dialogues over and over again, I've only played two years of the game and everything repeats a lot
Then you've been doing the same thing over and over and over
I was telling myself I wasn't going to play SDV today because I've already put in way too many hours this month, but...
here we go again.
Good vid, by the way. Quite funny. :)
Thank uuuuu! :3
Underrated channel ahh! I loved your lil critique!!
I've done nearly 300 hrs on SDV n on my main file I'm nearly at Year 7. I love the new island! And all the characters are great. Like even characters you'd think at first are jerks rly aren't n they have a reason for being the way they are. And even if you get bored, there are so many mods you can download
Thanks so much! I agree that the character development in Stardew is tremendous and that there’s always something to do in the game
I officially started playing Stardew tonight...have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm excited that I've finally giving it a shot
So i'm a new Nintendo Switch owner. I bought it for Pokemon Snap. A friend recommended SDV, while SO many of my friends already have Animal Crossing. Part of me is leaning towards AC because so many people I know have it. Does SDV have a social system like AC? Can I visit my irl friends farms? Perhaps that's the allure I have to AC is social interaction.
Thanks for the great breakdown of the games. Perhaps I'll just need to get both!
YES! You can visit your friend’s farms and there are zero limitations, and guys can share the farm and whatever they can do you can do (unlike AC). I suggest getting SV mainly cause it’s cheaper and then if you like it you can buy AC later. It really just boils down to what TYPE of game you enjoy the most. If you’re into games that are there just as a casual thing to be a part of and play over a while to relax I’d suggest AC, but if you’re into getting into a large word and building up to a bigger and better person in the game or are into, well, actual gameplay, I’d suggest SV
If I'm honest I hated the terraforming aspect. My reason? Minecraft. Minecraft has so many more options for terraforming that leaves animal crossing looking like a complete mess. If I want to terraform I will play Minecraft for a streamlined, intuitive, and freer experience. The only part of animal crossing that I think was executed flawlessly is the museum. God that place is beautiful!
I love it too, just wish there was a flower museum cause those were the one thing I enjoyed collecting all of
Personally I really like teraforming, its no longer an already made town its an island that we are pratically incharge of so it makes sense that we have more ways to customise it. It creates more ways for people to have more themes and you don't always have to teraform if you don't want to if you wanna keep it natural. Also not disagreeing with your last point I actually think the museum looks beutiful but I never wanna go in there since I always get lost lmao
Yeah the terraforming definitely deserved the spot in the end of my video
The jingle is the "start of level" jingle from Yoshi's Island.

Yes yes, contact me on Twitter or Discord (@Craftyman6 and @Craftymint6#0629 respectively)
Thank you for making this. You have convinced me to buy stardew.
There are probably a good three or four videos I have that better shows the delightfulness of the game. When I made this video I had about 10 hours in the game. Now I have 300
@@Craftymint6 that goes to show how amazing the game is, when it’s convinced me at only 10 of 300 hours.
I know right! I appreciate it so much that you’ve chosen to get the game after seeing my videos, it means so much!
I don't knownif I even dare ask this but... does the pixel style graphics bother anyone when you play? (I only have animal crossing and I'm super curious about stardew valley but I can't help but look at it and wonder why no one has mentioned that it honestly looks quite ... eh to me). 😬 inc hate I am sure, I don't mean to offend anyone and I totally understand the games are way different 8n price and with a huge difference in amount of people working on it etc but still... does it bother anyone or do you not notice or care when you play?
I actually agree with you on the interface of Stardew Valley, many of the pixels aren’t the same size and it can be clunky at times, but everything I think is amazing, but that is just me. There are many people who love realistic graphics and many who like simplistic graphics, so I like and encourage your opinion on this, there are pros and cons of pixel graphics that some people just don’t enjoy, and that’s ok.
i have put in almost 100+ hours in playing stardew valley and I don't even notice the pixels that much and it's also my type of aesthetic so maybe that's a factor
You should have way way more than 500 subscribers,you're better than some large youtubers out there
Thank you thank you thank you
I love Stardew and AC to bits and I agree with everything you have said, except the dialogue. I don’t know if it’s just me being picky about an amazing game, but stardew could probably have a few more dialogues. I’m only 100 hours in, and I know I haven’t married everyone or anything but the standard lines of dialogue with normal villagers could be added to a little bit. Animal crossing just needs to completely revamp theirs, I’m not even going into that. I love stardew, and I love the characters, I just want to hear more from them! Character interaction is one of my top favorite things to do and I just constantly hear that Shane’s going to the saloon tonight _when he’s already in the saloon_
I still gotta stick with my claim the Stardew has tons of dialogue. I once made a mod replacing a character with a new villager, and I needed to edit the dialogue, and by gosh, there’s SO MUCH dialogue for almost every day of the year and for different genders and weathers and locations, and that’s not involving cutscenes or marriage dialogue. Now compare that to AC where literally two people can have the EXACT same lines, yipe. Anyways, if you wanna know how to find the dialogue files on Stardew (if you have it on pc) I can show you
@@Craftymint6 I have it on switch sadly, but I get what you mean dude. I guess I didn’t think about it from modder’s perspectives 🤔 maybe I should just talk to different people in the game-
Oh yeah I definitely suggest befriending as many people as you can, there’s SO much to experience
@Fluffy bear i don’t have a computer to play on, but hopefully someday 😔🤙🏻 I hear that the mods do really help you stay engaged in the game, and with how addicting the base game is I can’t imagine how much more fun it is when you can customize your playing experience to that extent
Your voiceover has a lot of background noise. What program are you using to record it?
I just record on my phone and import it to adobe, it’s pretty sucky but it’s better than my computer mic I used on my Celeste video a while back, I’m probably going to invest in a new mic soon
@@Craftymint6 Also, I replied to your comment on Do Judge a Game By Its Cover 9, but it took me a day to notice it because I wasn't notified.
I replied back if you didn’t see it
@@Craftymint6 I saw that there were eight comments earlier, but I didn't realise that the eighth was your reply.
you can install a mod that can make jas a yandere, want more?
Oh please no lmao
stardew valley is a really good game and imo in alot of ways it is better than acnh, acnh just seems to keep my attention far better than stardew valley can
(i have 200 hours in acnh, got it in september 2020.
stardew valley, maybe 60 hours dragged across 4 years and multiple save files because i got bored of the last one.)
Indeed, acnh is meant to be played over a much longer time period that stardew.
@@Craftymint6 not really stardew valley is overrated
@Eddie W how so? What weren’t you happy about the game?
Dude you're gonna become a big youtuber, mark my words
marking... marking... they have been marked!
as an animal crossing player that just started playing stardew valley, I dont know which I like better-
I'll stick to animal crossing for now but stardew is probably my 2nd favorite game right now ^^
Im glad these incredible games exist in this world! 👍👏
i LOVE the Animal Crossing franchise actually, but New Horizons in the one that messed up
me and my stardew valley husband approve this message
Yay
I wish Stardew Valley uses the
real-time system too.
I feel like I can't do much
with time-constrained games.
😟
What you can't do today, remember, there is always tomorrow. And with stardew valley, there's no massive bills being passed to you by a God damned scamming raccoon. 😂 I play and like both equally. Plus stardew has modding on it's side so I lean more towards it.
Sometimes I feel like don't have enough time, and sometimes I just go to bed at 7AM after kissing my spouse and pet my cat lol
I hate games where the time follows real time because you can’t do as much. I don’t want a game to be based in the reality I’m using it to escape from.
Facts
The real comparison that needs to be made is between harvest moon and stardew valley
i love both. but i find stardew valley kind of tedious. i’ve had it for a few weeks now and i’m already burnt out.
That’s really interesting, people here mainly say the complete opposite and say the same for Animal Crossing. It’s cool to see different perspectives on different games
I have a similar opinion I started play sv about a year or so ago and played for like a week I got up to the point where I had a chicken coop after that I kinda forgot about it only to come back recently and once a got to a point where I felt like I was making leaps and bounds of progress I couldn't stop still can't someone please help
He’s caught the Stardew fever
To me animal crossing new horizons just got boring really fast. I haven’t touched it in months because I got frustrated on how I could never make any progressive after hours of playing. Gosh darn it I still can’t terraform
Stardew valley on the other hand has so much to do. I can make progress at my own pace. I never get bored with how much there is. I’ve had it for years and still play it.
AC is meant to be played a little bit over time and there are very few people who prefer to play games like that. Stardew going at its own pace is great, and it’s a million times better when there’s always something new to do!
In AC you just do the same thing time by time and waiting for changes, waiting for new furniture, you always waiting. But it's a nintendo game. You enjoy the process, not the result. It is difficult to compare these games for real
Animal Crossing gameplay scenes with Stardew Valley music.
The heresy!
I may have brought the Heat Death of the universe a little sooner with this contradiction.
*Frantically searching for chainsword mod*
Given the elements you presented here, you might enjoy the Rune Factory series (or at least 4, the only title I played) somewhat similar! You have various dungeons you can crawl through, you can befriend villagers, and, to diverge slightly from stardew, marriage but only opposite gender ones. Additionally there is some light farming, and crop sales, and a somewhat long story, at least in contrast to Stardew, which might be fulfilling to you.
In regards to Animal Crossing, I've played every title since the Gamecube, and I feel like it gets improved in some aspects but completely misses out on features in older ones with each passing generation. For example, in the first title (released outside of Japan anyway) you could have NES titles and play those ingame (I theorize these got left behind because of the inbuilt virtual consoles and more recent home re-releases), the villagers had more variance in their personality -- that is, they were kind of mean at times -- and you could change the background of your menu with stuff like tshirts (no idea why that's gone now!).
It pains me to say that New Leaf is better in comparison to New Horizons, but the latter just feels like a more rushed, soulless version of the former to me, and maybe this is less a comment on Animal Crossing on a series and more a comment on how gaming has changed with an "always online" setup with stuff like updates and patches able to compensate for titles/games that are incomplete on, or rushed to, release. I perhaps only played through the first few months of New Horizons before growing tired of it, and perhaps it's growing ennui in the wake of what was lost through time, or maybe it's just aging... but I have to agree with you here. If I'm stuck with downtime and want to play a life-sim I enjoy, I turn to Stardew, not ACNH, for time I actually enjoy spending.
Also apologies for writing an essay here, but one last thing: I wouldn't say ACNH is even the worst title in the series. That is, of course, Amiibo Festival, WOAT, requires an individual Amiibo for each player, requires multiple playthroughs of the VERY BORING boardgame to unlock minigames, etc.
(I actually really liked Happy Home Designer because the design aspect was fun to me -- another way I thought ACNH could have improved was incorporating elements of that or being able to import designs from it into this game or even New Leaf, but it never happened, so.)
First off, wow, you wrote a ton for my video, I’m honoured. Second, I’ve actually heard a bit about rune factory myself, I’ll give it some more research. Next, it’s fairly obvious the Animal Crossing “feel” has been lost, I loved the whole feel of living in a town where I slowly get to learn everyone and improve the island. And in New Horizons, some of those elements were either straight up given to you or not there at all. I don’t consider Amiibo Festival part of the series tbh, but yeah it kinda stinky. Thanks for the feedback!
i got bored of animal crossing nh after an hour but I can play stardew for months without getting bored
I hAve oBjeCtioNs: (these are all my opinions too, coming from a biased person of course lol)
Money:
Well yeah the animal crossing series is all about money
Fishing:
Sure it’s much more simplified and irritating but uh... i got used to it, and isn’t like, fishing hard in the first place?
Time:
The whole series is based around real-world time, and you CAN time travel. Play the way *YOU* want
Farming:
Yeah yeah i guess farming trees takes *days* and i don’t like it, but that’s the gist of it, it’s designed to be played only a few hours a day minimum... sure you could play for 7 hours straight or play for 20 minutes in between online classes to relax a little bit
Interface:
I... don’t know the interface of stardew so no objections
The text are slow, but that’s animal crossing.. slow and peaceful
Villagers:
10 villagers only is kinda annoying, but i think it makes the villagers you WANT more special
And plus some might not like the bland, 8 personalities some might be the most wholesome person and talk to them constantly
(Like me lol)
And you can get married in stardew? That’s uh... cool...
Credit:
Stock market is realistic...
*i haven’t even touched it*
Terraforming... i haven’t unlocked it yet lol so no comment
Conclusion: so uh yeah just voicing out my opinion, i will eventually try stardew, but uh... i’m gonna go pay off my 98,000 bells of debt now
Edit: WHO HAS GOOD TURNIP PRICES
I NEED A PRICE MORE THAN 105
MY TURNIP PRICES SUCK
luckily i only bought 10 turnips just to try it out
*still lost money though*
I NEED A TURNIP PRICE OVER 105
ah whatever
what ya have against marriage punk
@@rosemile2112 I... don’t lol
I just can’t get into AC… i tried so hard to like it and hated it and didn’t understand why all my friends like it. I played SV and I’m hooked…i think there’s 2 types of people in the world. Those who like SV and those who like AC 😅
Screw your zodiac sign folks, you a stardew gamer or an animal crossing gamer?
In stardew valley I made a fully atomated sweet gem berry farm in the green house(most expensive crop)and made 200,000g every season
Niiiice. I never really messed around with autograbber mods but they’d be pretty dang useful. One stardew player to another, gem berries are not the most profitable crops in the game, you have to replant them every time, it takes 24 days to mature and aren’t even considered a fruit or veggie so you can’t turn them into wine or preserves. What I use are Ancient Fruits, which take a week to regrow, stay planted, and sell for more in the long run. I put them all in my green house, turn them into wine (which conviently also takes a week) and sell the wine, making over 260k a WEEK. I hope this helped for future runs of the game, keep innovating!
I have played Stardew Valley for a while (haven't played any Animal Crossing Game yet, I just ordered it and it will arrive tomorrow probably). I believe that you can put more hours in Animal Crossing than Stardew Valley because imo Stardew Valley is fun until you get to the Ginger Island and complete the guy's (I forgot his name) quests. Once you do that it becomes boring because at that point you are probably rich and don't need any more money, so you just stop playing and return to Animal Crossing :)
Well, the same can be said for Animal Crossing. Once you plant tons of fruit trees and complete the museum you could stop playing and return to Stardew Valley. The main differences I see is that in SV, once you’re done you can very easily start another game and play it again, and with the amount of variety (farm types, characters with 100x more dialogue than AC, and different community goals) each play of the game is different. But I’ll admit, it’s great to go from game to game after finishing them. Only replay games if you really love it and will get value from playing them again. ❤️
@Craftymint6 I am usually the type of guy that plays the story of a game and if there are other quests after that I will just play for a short while and get bored then play something else. The only reason I said that Animal Crossing will get you more hours is because in Animal Crossing there is no story and you can just do whatever you want. Idk maybe it's just me, but after a story I just stop playing
So the absense of a story makes you no longer care about the story? I really think you should continue playing Stardew Valley once you’re done with its story, the essence of “doing whatever you want” is plenty present in that game as well.
@Craftymint6 yeah, but once you have a decent wealth that can get you basically everything is just not fun anymore. There is no point in playing when you get there
That is a situation that applies to any game
How dare you talk down Erik like that.... i love him 😭
I hate Erik so so much, he moved to Mintys island from mine and I celebrated
Subscribed ONLY for putting the Giant Enemy Spider theme at the end.
I see it paid off
@@Craftymint6 Nah i was joking, the rest of the video was excellent aswell. I just started playing Stardew and, having my experience with AC, i give it a 10.
Yey
I only get frustrated when playing acnh cus it is such a grind. I hate how much time literally ANYTHING takes and i have no patience for it anymore lmao. Im not playing it again until they get a quality of life update(which they wont) rip
Stardew on the other hand is just fun and relaxing
I'm pretty sure that the beatbox in the credits is from jerma985
EDIT: the song is from this video minute 5:10 ruclips.net/video/f7cyaC8Q1f8/видео.html&ab_channel=Jerma985
It’s the giant enemy spider from Jerma, it was very popular when I uploaded this
Animal crossing forces you to do stuff and wait. Stardew valley is a game that lets you go at your own pace
I love that
I guess thats good, I was going to say that it would be way easier to get burnt out but tbh that game was made to not burn out people unless they played for hours on end.
Yeah the thing about Stardew is that you can go at your OWN pace, it’s great to be able to have that choice. I play incredibly fast paced and can beat the game without letting a single year go by. It just really hurts me personally that New Horizons forced you to play at an incredibly slow pace. The AC series does that too, just not as much and with exceptions.
@@Craftymint6 I prefer the slower pace but tbh placing inclines and moving buildings does get annoying at times but I usually just time travel if I really want to get something done.
I immediately stop playing animal Crossing New Horizons due of the lack of content & it get so boring after finishing the game completely & I played a different game & it called Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town & that game have more content instead of freaking animal crossing new horizon & i immediately skip that game once I got Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive town & I never go back to my island anymore because of lack of content & using real time & calendar too & villager ask to move out a lot now & that why I stop playing it immediately
Yeeees there are so many alternatives to ACNH, it’s whack how this huge AAA company makes poopy game while simple indies can create so much more charm
@@Craftymint6 yeah & I believe that Stardew Valley & Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town take the number one spot for game for Nintendo switch & Animal Crossing new horizon take the last place & bad game for Nintendo switch of the year & if people still playing animal Crossing New Horizons i believe they will get board after this no matter what & I can feel it right now
We both married Leah, yeeeeez
SHE’S MINE
Cough cough....Alex is bae
Maru is my big brained girl
7:00 actually that's a little off because you crafted 5 in Stardew but only 1 in AC. So multiply the time it took you in AC by 5: roughly 45 seconds for AC vs
So true!
@@Craftymint6 that's my biggest problem with Animal Crossing. It takes forever to do the tiniest little things. You try to do your dailies but then your tools break but gathering and crafting takes forever
I love games that achieve the ability to simulate something accurately, but sometimes repairing tools and waiting stupidly long to fish and craft doesn’t make for a fun game, does it?
i kinda rlly like animal crossings fishing system
Everyone has their own entertainments. I was still able to get the gold trophy for the fishing tourney so I can definitely say it kept my interest.
Same, it only gets hard or annoying when i'm nervous or something but most of the time I enjoy it I could even played for maybe a full hour just fishing if my tools didn't break lmao
the main drawback to acnh for me is that it is centered around real time. I have things to do in real life and I don't want to feel back if I miss a day or two in a game!
Yeah they never really considered that fact that people can have really busy lives
Stardew Valley has many enduring npcs and the music is so charming. Way better than AC.
Not to throw shade on AC’s soundtrack but Stardew’s soundtrack is an absolute banger
@@Craftymint6 Love the winter music, the music that plays at the pub and some of the while mining. I couldn't get into AC.
Some of the new 1.5 update soundtracks are amazing
I prefer animal crossing soundtrack (mostly the new leaf ones) , that's the only thing I prefer
I still very much enjoy New Leaf. If it weren’t for that game I wouldn’t have gotten new horizons. I mean I probably still prefer SV OST over ACNL OST, but still, great soundtrack
I honestly never played Animal Crossing, i didn't even know that game existed until i started playing Stardew Valley 3 years ago and everyone on the internet was saying "oh it's like Animal Crossing" i was like: oh idk that game but I guess it must be good right?
So i am here to see for the first time how that game is and also got interested in your opinion about both games. I see the appeal in both games but I think I'll stick with Stardew. Nice video btw
That’s very interesting. In my opinion if you were going to try out Animal Crossing, DON’T GET NEW HORIZONS. That game is incomparable to the previous games, which have a much better feel for what the true AC model is.
@@Craftymint6 i don't have any nintendo console so maybe that is why i didn't know the game franchise existed, i mean I'm good not experiencing what i don't know haha but thanks anyway
Why are you so underrated??
Cause I don't know how to make well written analytical essays lol
That really shocks me how Stardew Valley does a lot of things better than Animal Crossing New Horizons.
The entire team of one of if not the largest gaming company, Nintendo, vs some dude who made a RUclips video of him at work staring at his phone doing nothing for a straight minute with “Celebrate Good Times” looping in the distance.
I love this game so much. I even got the fan guide book when i started over and got the check off the lists in the community center and museum. I also married Leah. I enjoy animal crossing too
(long) ive been playing stardew valley since the day it came out. my brother heard about the game before it came out and the day it was released on the xbox game store he bought it. the came looked boring back then but boy was i wrong. as soon as my brother opened the game i wanted to play. i was one of those siblings who watched their older siblings play on the tv so im really glad my brother stopped caring about the game in a couple of days. i figured out how to make my own farm and my dumb self thought the river land farm (aka the worst one and the hardest farm to live in the game) was a yacht..... i then discovered the mines and thought it was the coolest thing ever. I also really loved the fact that stardew valley has the dynamic of a life simulator while also being able to get op and grind for materials and stuff like that. that farm was my first ever farm so it took me many in game years to figure things out. thats why my game has 16 years and 380+ hours of play time. Still to this day its my favorite game even after 5 years. A couple of things that wish were in the game in the ability to freeze time. even if i can only freeze it for like a minute it would still be really helpful. i think time in stardew valley passes really quickly. especially after my daily routine its alreayd like 12pm. still the best game in my opinion! i also really do like animal crossing and have played since wild world. however stardew valley is just so much better
Dang, it’s always super cool to hear the charming stories and experiences of people who were enlightened by video games. Stardew Valley is one of the only game that is able to have such a grab on people. (Also there’s a mod that let’s you control the time in the game 😉)
I prefer Stardew because I can transfer it between my phones. I have nintendo switch but I prefer SV on mobile. Animal Crossing reminds me of Harvest Moon which I really really loved but it feels AC is quite a kid’s game for graphics. I am already on Year 7 and spent 319 hours on my SV account😂 so I am not really sure about playing another farming game haha. There is so much to do in SV like mining/farming/cooking/fishing so it still gets me hooked every time I start playing again. Still waiting for additional update on mobile version.
Wow, it’s rare to find someone who plays Stardew Valley on mobile (and also someone who gets reminded of Harvest Moon from AC and not SV (because Stardew Valley was literally made to replicate harvest mood)) but this is really cool, I hope Eric still stays up to date with even the mobile players
@@Craftymint6 it’s more convenient for mobile for me because I don’t like bringing my nintendo switch to work haha. He is still working on the mobile update as per last checking. I hope he does because I already completed the game pretty much and just waiting for Ginger Island update
I also actually played it on mobile during work, it’s a really convenient game to play on the go, I’m sure we just gotta be patient and the update will come sooner or later
Great video, friend! Subscribed 👍
Yay my first friend
@@Craftymint6 it was bound to happen eventually lol 😁
I was really disappointed about Animal Crossing because I haven't played since City Folk and NH seems.... Unfinished. I am VERY late to the Stardew Valley train but better late than never, right? I downloaded it yesterday and played 14 hrs. 😳
I think both games are good IF you don't compare them. I made the mistake of buying AC after playing Stardew in hopes of finding a similar game and even though I like it, I wish I would have bought it before Stardew. It introduces you to the mechanics and the thought process behind farming sim games but Stardew is superior, especially to the adult target group. Stardew ruined me for any other farming sim game and I am really sad for it.
I'm playing AC and all I can think about is "Stardew made this easier, Stardew doesn't have so much dialogue, OMG where is the button for switching tools and resources like in Stardew?, Oh, a shadow of a fish, remember Stardew's little game while fishing?". I will start recommending to friends to start from AC and then go to Stardew in order not to ruin the AC's experience.
I want to bought Nintendo Switch just for Animal Crossing. After playing Stardew Valley for 100+ hours and knew all Tips and Tricks. I don't know what to say anymore.
