Yeah I'm going to wait a few weeks or months or until it's on sale.I bought this at the twilight hour last night to get those pointless pre-order items.
I'm a huge HM/RF/AC fan, so I'm sure I'll eventually love this one too, but I might not even fire it up until a few more patches come out.
There was an AMA for this game on reddit yesterday. From what I can gather, the console versions will receive a patch within the next few weeks to bring the content in line with the PC version. This includes story missions, the time slider (to adjust how quickly each day passes), and presumably other options like facial hair.
The dev team is also looking at whether or not they can implement grass on the Switch. Which the Switch is obviously capable of, so I hope they don't make up some excuse.
Sounds like plenty of additional optimization fixes are needed too, even after the day one patch.
I felt really dirty buying this last night, because spending $30 on a game the devs clearly haven't finished yet is an ugly practice, but I'm reasonable confident the game will get to where it needs to be in the coming months.
Regardless, still looking forward to reading impressions in the meantime.
Haha, I pre-ordered for the same reason. Really lame items.I bought this at the twilight hour last night to get those pointless pre-order items.
Switch version is ROUGH. No voices from what I can tell, hitches everywhere (Especially when breaking down a tree or rock which is inexcusable), looks meh, and the framerate isn't good. Definitely recommend the PC version over it.
Curious how it is on the X1/PS4.
Here's a recent review that gives a nice overview and covers both strengths & weaknesses.
Presenters are slightly cringe (not in a bad way...'A' for effort), but I think it might they're just targeting a younger demographic or something.
Worth a watch to get a sense of what you can expect.
Oh this is the planet explorer devs? Yeah stay well away people, that game was left in an atrocious state despite claims it was "done" when it very clearly is not.I'm tempted by the Switch version but seems like these guys are up to their old tricks. They abandoned Planet Explorer in a poor state to kickstart this game. And now this seems like the Switch version is a mess too.
Not getting my money until that gets in order. Could always buy on Steam but I rather play this sort of game on the couch while watching TV.
Too bad. PC it is then.Limited or no sound fx on ps4. No birthday or beard options. Time goes to quickly.

Overall rather disappointed. Any eta on a patch?
There was A Patch released today(?), but I'm not sure what it did. It didn't seem to add any new options, there's still an uncomfortable amount of stuttering, and the start up load time (the initial load screen + the credits/auto save message + the load screen before the title) is like a full minute. Also I can't find any documentation for it so that's fun. Edit: Their twitter says it improves load times, but that start up loading sequence is still long as hell
I admit I'm not really very tech savvy and I don't know anything about the actual technical challenges of game development, but I admit I'm a little baffled that a game that ... looks like this... has such lengthy load times.
h o n e s t l y pc is probs an all around better fit for this game, because I kind of get the sense that a lot of the interface weirdness on PS4 work better with a mouse.
Damn.. I'm bummed. My wife just 100% Yoshi and I was going to surprise her with this but from this thread it seems the game is HUGE disaster on Switch?
As of right now it runs slightly better than the Switch version, but both have frequently short freeze ups.

Related to what you're saying, is this the only yonder switch thread we have? https://www.resetera.com/threads/yonder-the-cloud-catcher-chronicles-announced-for-switch.29340/Oh this is the planet explorer devs?

This sucks, I was so keen but I think I will just rebuy Yonder on Switch. I've got it on PC but supporting my Aussie brethren is way better.
Neat, yah I'm a huge HM fan. I will likely give it a shot :)I have put many hours into it. It's very good, especially for 20 bucks, but it's still constantly being updated with QoL features ranging from NPCs being voiced to player character customization options (my brown character still had a light redhead complexion character portrait since that's the default look, for example). If you like Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley you should feel right at home.
I have not played since January and there was a big patch recently so a lot of things may have changed since I played, looking to get back into it soon til Shadowbringers comes out.
