Seasonal Tomato Blight

Hey folks, This is Patty.

I am one of the few nintendo fan boys left in this world. That being said, I like the Wii and DS a lot.

However; I must say I got beef.

To the makers of Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness, you have vexed me completely. This series has endured the test of time, and I admit that I am a fan, but the newest DS variant has driven me to the point of screaming.

Beef number one: when you begin you are able to spread seeds in a 3x3 square in your field. The n you water according to the plants needs. Then the game decides to throw new farmers a fuck you. once the plants sprout you cant walk through them to water the plant in the center (my discussion of why it is incredibly inefficient to water a farm with a watering can will have to occur at a later date). It seems incredibly cruel of the developers to condemn 1 out of nine of every crop to death via dessication, which is inevitable unless the weather decides to favor your plants inescapable damnation.

Beef numero dos: As in every iteration of the harvest moon series, the year is divided into four seasons as opposed to the twelve month calendar that we are so accustomed to, and certain plants are better suited to certain seasons. That being said, why must every plant that is best grown in the spring suddenly shuffle of it's mortal coil with the coming of the fall. I find it hard to believe that the temperature difference between the last of spring and the first of fall is so drastic that every one of my thriving tomato plants are suddenly stricken down with some seasonal tomato blight.

My theory, the harvest sprites are behind it, no wait, the developers at Natsume are probably just douchebags.

I leave you with that pearl of harvest based frustration
