That's because I wrote it on Thursday, so I could go over to house at 10am PST today and stream rhythm FPS Metal: Hellsinger for hours and hours. Hey! So, you might have noticed that this went up at Midnight. And now they are taking their rad co-op chops… and turning them toward some kind of farming/dungeon crawl thing in Fae Farm?! Trys is gonna lose their shit.

We loved that loop, which was like a dubstep remix of Monster Hunter. I can still remember when Graab hauled me over to the Phoenix Labs booth to see Dauntless, and we played the shit out of Dauntless and one hundred percent engaged in microtransactions for a minute over there. But Kotaku had a whole slideshow about farming elements in the Nintendo Direct announcements, and there's a lot to see. I think it sorta speaks for itself, with a novel interplay of investment, debt, time, and the ravages of the chaos winds, but I also grew up playing something called The Farming Game that might mostly be a Washington thing. I was wounded deeper than I could have imagined by the death of this imaginary chicken, and I never played it again.įarming, broadly, just makes sense as a game mechanic. They were probably trying to teach me about how medicine worked or something. One of my chickens got sick, more or less during the introduction to the game.

I tried to play one of these games a long time ago - these farming games - I think it was one of the old Harvest Moons.
