Uhm... what ist Stardew Valley?!

Lol, exactly what i was thinking.
Not a common genre then.

Farming is actually a relatively big sub-genre. Harvest Moon comes to mind straight away. Good for them.

Admit it folks we only check this out each week to see if CS GO has finally fallen out of the top 10. Close call this week at number 9.
fantaskarsef
hehe true... GS:GO has it's lowest rank in how long I can remember I think.
Yeah, Stardew Valley, SNES graphics farming simulator... I guess it was a weak seeling week for steam.

What is surprising to me is, for the first time in a while we do not see GTAV up there somewhere in the list, which reminds me that holy cow they kept selling in top 10 on steam until today!
And who said making games on PC yields no profit O_O

Stardew Valley has sold over 425,000 copies as of the beginning of last week. Why I can't fathom, but it is doing very well (all developed by 1 guy too).

I don't wanna ruin the game for you if you're having fun with it but its basically typical Ubisoft stuff, progressively making games worse but this time they made it less noticeable.
The crafting system is the same.
Hunt this sh*t to craft this sh*t to equip more sh*t.
Gathering crafting materials is literally the same since Far Cry 3.
The stealth system is the same.
The outpost system from Far Cry 3 basically just got changed into a fitting pre-historic theme.
The bow dynamic is literally copy-pasted with a different skin.
Traveling is exactly the same with the exception of beast riding. (Think replacing cars with beasts.)
Skill tree system is literally the same, one tree for stealth and striking and the other for endurance and toughness. (AKA stealth VS guns blazing)
Its literally the same sh*t just with a different theme to it.
Aside from being close to copy-pasted garbage the melee system is pretty bad with close to early-access animations. The spear animation is just awful and the rest of the melee weapons aren't better.
Totalbiscuit himself said himself he was just asking himself why he wasn't playing far cry 4 half an hour in the game.

I've always been under the impression that when it comes to a sequel, more of the same in a new setting and with better graphics is what most people want.
Originality is what new IP's are for, not for a sequel and this pretty much applies to movies and games.
As for Stardew Valley, can't say gameplay wise it interests me in the slightest. Reminds me of Farmville.

I wasn't arguing whether Primal is a good or bad game, just that the principal of more of the same in a different setting with better graphics is what most people want.

I have actually watched many, it's Farmville i have never really watched.
Saying that, i never realised the comparison to another farming game could be so controversial lol.
I'm sure it a perfectly enjoyable game for some people, and well done to the guy for making some money it's just not my idea of enjoyment.
Darkest
I don't think it's so much because it's a farming game, it's more a case of Farmville being a click-bait social game that's heaving with micro-transactions and advertisements.
