[@Jrod859]

You're the reason I got addicted to Rune Factory. I was looking for a life simulator game that was fun and had romance, and I watched your Rune Factory 5 review 2 days after you posted it. Since it had farming, I didn't think that I was going to be too into it since I haven't played farming simulators and never considered it my cup of tea, but like you, now I'm like, "I gotta level up my crops and make a lot of money from harvesting leeks!" I started with Rune Factory 5, and now I'm playing Rune Factory 4 Special! I'm so hooked! I love the characters, and the way that you describe the series with so much love makes the game feel amazing while playing, I don't why. But thank you!

[@Pollymichaelis]

[@davidbonhote2660]

Ircha Gaming, formally first, congratulations on shortly becoming married! I just hope he'll cope well with your video gaming. I'll be buying Rune Factory 5 next month, however it'll be sometime before I play it because I've got 7 other JRPG's that I'm eventually going to buy also. It'll be for setting up of doing a JRPG gaming marathon that'll probably take at least 7,500 hours for all of them combined plus another 1,500 hours once Genshin Impact is available in a few years on the Switch. I finished Breath Of The Wild this past May which I had entirely played through both modes that took me 2,155+ hours since I had initially began last year as of Feb.19th 2021!

[@ircha]

Over 2000 hours in Zelda BOTW? What did you do for all that time? 😁 I hope you'll be playing Rune Factory 5 soon, it's so good 🙌

[@davidbonhote2660]

@@ircha I'm not sure if you noticed how I mentioned that I had entirely completed BOTH modes in BOTW as to why it took me over 2,100 hours. I literally did everything there is to do, including having collected all 900 korok seeds.....TWICE(which that alone took me 2 straight weeks to get them all), got ALL key inventory items, upgraded all the armor sets + dlc sets to lv.4, did all 136 shrines, AND even went out of my way as for getting 8 Savage Lynel Crushers, each with 100+ durability. Though I do have just a few minor tasks left on Master Mode as I'm at 99.91% completion, as I'll be finishing that up once I get my Ipad charger replacement from Samsung. And I'm sure I'll be enjoying Rune Factory 5 as you've expressingly emphasized on, as it looks very similar to Genshin Impact as with the character graphics, and how their attacking style seems to be identically the same.

[@deejay3297]

That ending was incredible 10/10

[@chopstyx6228]

It's nice to find someone that loves the series as well!

[@OtterloopB]

Personally speaking, I've never had such a fine time with a game with obvious performance issues 😂 Eventually, you have to stop listening to reviews and learn to judge a game for yourself. Even if a game is receiving middling, even negative review scores... if something inside of you is still tempted to try it out, you know what you should do? Try it out. Blaze your own trail and leave the critics behind. So if you're out there and tempted to give RF5 a try, you know what you should do? Take the plunge. You may just be glad you did.

[@dukenukem7043]

yeah but honestly if the game is going to run like dog poo, then discount the game and don't charge a full 60 dollars. if it was maybe 30 bucks i'd be able to look past the fps, but because i paid full price, i expected a cleaned polished game or a promise of future patches/updates, but we got neither, i seriously want to sue the company if it were possible

[@spartan-0885]

Loving this channel. Finally a place to go where Sim/Slice of Life games are appreciated. I'm a bit behind on my game list but I'm currently 100 hours into Rune Factory 5 and still no sign of slowing down. Can't wait for Story of Seasons this June. It's gonna be a great year!

[@sonartech7721]

Unfortunately, these types of games aren’t for me. However, when Ircha was showing all of her stuff in game I really enjoyed it because you can tell her enjoyment of the game.

Ircha Gaming, I'll DEFINITELY be buying RF5 in September when I get my SSDI surplus. So all that progress you were showing, that just from the 100 hours you've invested so far? What I find very appealing about the game is how the graphics of the characters looks just identical to those in Genshin Impact. Which suffice to say that I can't wait for GI to be available on the Switch in a couple years from now!

[@lumpytoad1357]

Your game hasn't crashed on you? Two or three times my Switch says "an error has occured," or something, and the RF5 app closes, and I think it happens when I have to put the game down for awhile and the Switch goes in to Sleep Mode, and then return to playing. I also think cutscenes were possibly culprit. Either way, I try to save at every save-point now in-game. The auto-save feature I thought would be a failsafe, but it has made me repeat 1-2 days at a time already, and productive days in RF5 are *long*.

If I already have RF4 and RF5, would you recommend getting any of the other RF games aside from collection purposes? It's probably too much work to collect them all, so I'm happy just playing the best ones.

[@SpiralKipz]

RF3 was the game that revolutionized the series imo. Honestly the games took a few steps back after 3, but added different kinds of QoL features. The biggest upset is that none of the games past 3 have co-op multiplayer. In 3 you were able to do the original Sharance Maze (The game literally takes place in Sharance) with a friend in real time, and you could actually play as the villagers in it.
