yeah! Put RPG-like progression into everything and you end up doing nothing.
The unlockables-feature is the death to replayability and gameplay.
Imagine that: Harvest Moon, but in the beginning you can only milk a cow and sell the milk. You need to repeat this process 10 times to gain a level to unlock "kill cow for meat". Do either of those 10 times to unlock xyz. Fun? No!
Limited options lead to limited strategies and those lead to dumb games.
Fable is a game that has fantastic progression, some of the best I've seen... WoW also has some fantastic progression, but it can be rather slow sometimes
anyways, I've heard Harvest Moon is amazing, but I've never really gotten into it. thanks for this review, I think I might rent it the next time I see it, or hell, even buy it if its below $10 or so...

Less "Progression"/Limitation, more Presentation!

Nice vid man. Harvest moon is definatly one of my favorite series.
Personally though, I think HVM: A Wonderful Life is probibly one of the worst in the series imho
If you get the chance, check out:
HVM: Magical Melody on gamecube or better yet
HVM 64 for the nintendo 64.
I find these two to be more representive of what makes the HVM series truly great.

I used to love Harvest Moon but I haven't played one in so long. Maybe I'll pick up the DS version and play again.

Thebgbb you will go down as one of the major forum members. You wish to give us more understanding what goes into the games we play.
I respect you for that.
