When fad genures are bought, the genure becomes stronger, now with the inlightment of smaller sleeperhits, such as the Survival Genure and the Farming Simualation Genure. I look into all genures, to see what is wrong with the most popluar in that genure.

Last night I riped through and talked about Survival Games, now its all about Farming Simuations. The crust of the simuations which is probably one of the most strongest and popluar Farming Simuation, I’m talking about none other than Harvest Moon.

If you are all fimaular with the series, than thats fine. The article can stop now, can I can just complain about the series and define whats wrong in a gamer point of view. But many people are not, so sadly I must talk about the series.

Harvest Moon is basicly a popluar farming sim, in which you rasie cattle and all that, as well as plant ramdom food crops to satisfy the needs of the dull and boring villages or the even more probably ‘no exisitent’ city fok, which are allways talked about by your friend/helper/some ramdom person someone you know/in your famly knew.

But what the series and the genure are dieing from is…its getting more and more like Animal Crossing.

The latest title in the HM series, divied what was farming into what is known as Animal Crossing, another game which dips into many simuation genures and laps up popluarty almost as quick.

While there is nothing wrong with Animal Crossing, a genure in the sim series which is hardly even like Animal Crossing, becoming like Animal Crossing is something to worrie about.

Some ideas taken from AC worked out well for the series, such as allowing your character to have a farm in 3 diffrent locations, have more choice in where buildings and such are. As well as be a girl or boy in one title rather than a special ‘girl version’.

But the sad thing is, the game, rather than having its own art/graphic style which it had from a few PlayStation titles is becoming more Animal Crossing by itself, with the cartoony kiddie animal, pokiey style of graphics allmost which Animal Crossing is famous of.

Well thats anough babing about the series, I dont want to wreck its greatness. Now how to fix the series/genure/i dont know :-

1# Needs more character deepth. Playing the current range of farming simuations you will notice the lack of deepth with the other characters unless they are going to marry you, or if you go to there shop to by some food or what ever they sell/have.

2# Needs more locations for farms. I say…all of the ones I have played and even the upcomming ones, lack a good ammount of areas to have your farm. Heck even the town is static, so when your farm insnt there its just empty land.

3# Needs more landscape. Going on from the dry land ect. There needs to be more landscape, such as caves and other areas in which lead to intresting areas of land formation where edvents could happen.

While there dosnt seem like many I have colplained about, there probably is more. Besides that today I’m giving two articles so I need my brain for them
