If you're gonna upgrade your watering can check the weather forecast for a rainy day then do it. Otherwise you lose 2 days of watering.
Or do it on the 27th of each season.
Okay, so two things I've noticed this morning: If you craft something, and it takes up a spot in your inventory, you cannot drop what it replaces. You have to trash it, which is a little alarming.
Also, in the community centre menu, you can't see the name of the requirements, only a picture. I'm sure this is not like the PS4 version, and it'll make accumulating those items pretty tiresome.

Just had my first crash that made me lost an entire day of removing weed and wood. I was playing one arcade game of Cowboys vs Aliens and when trying to find the button to get out the game I pressed the minus button and the crash happened.
Fun game though, I would have appreciated some tutorials and guidance from NPCs about the activities you can do but nothing. I wanted to go blind on this but it's starting to be hard.

Just done 4 days and not really sure the best way of going about anything. Feels like I can't really do much without getting exhausted (and then what do I do for the rest of the day) and not really sure the best way to accumulate money because I don't know what I might regret selling.

I have owned this game for PC since it was released, but this game is like crack on the Switch. I have been carrying my Switch all around the house and playing it non-stop.
At the beginning I purchased as much of the cheapest seeds as I could and planted them to make some quick cash.

Are the save times unique to the Switch or has it been like this for all the console versions?

The UI changes size to prevent that. It's actually rather clever

Is this game worth it for somebody who spent 250+ hours on Animal Crossing New Leaf?
This is a serious game.
Only bugbear is the main character model. The male one. He looks like a goddamn goof. Like Big Bird's head on a middle-aged office worker's body.
Is the female avvy's face any better? Can I change after the initial character creator???
I did this too, on another tutorial quest. Worried I knocked myself out of a tree of 'tutorial' quests. Some other quests seem to keep popping up but there's no way of knowing if I missed any.

Mine disappeared on me too, not sure if you can get it back for the reward but you can just look in your relationships tab to see how many people still have ???? Under their picture.
I've really been enjoying my time with the game so far, but I'm having a few grievances.
1.) No way to drop items? I've had to trash a few things right in my own home in front of my chest because there doesn't seem to be a way, or had to throw away food when opening a chest when I would've like to either back out or drop the item so I could eat the food. I've since learned to make sure to keep an open item slot when crafting or opening chests, but this still seems like a basic feature that should be there.
2.) What the fuck is going on with the crafting screen? Why is it so hard to pick the item you want? There are a few items I simply can't select like the campfire or the ring. Even a simple list would've been better.
3.) Also, it's annoying that I can't see how much I would get from shipping an item in the item box.

I know I dropped an item, I think I took the item and moused over ok to get it to drop at my feet rather than trashing it? I'm not too sure though.
There doesn't seem to be an ok button?
Hm, looks like it might only show up when you're fishing and you have a full inventory already, which makes it really not useful. Looks like you're right though. That does seem like an oversight. Was there a way to drop on PC?
It's a PEGI 7 game in Europe, and ESRB 10 in the US.

This reminds me so much of the fun I had with Harvest Moon DS years ago!
So far I have hardly grown anything, spending most time mining and wandering around foraging stuff. There seems to be a ton of stuff to do.
In terms of value for money, this game is incredible. I think I am going to end up playing hundreds of hours of this, for about a quarter of the price of an 'AAA' retail game.

Yeah, it's terrible. I had to fill out more of the crafting screen by acquiring blueprints so I could take another "route" to the campfire with the cursor.
I can also only get to the community center menu from the inventory screen even though the button is visible on other screens as well. Just can't get the cursor to go to the button.
I hope they fix this.
Well that's just realism then.
I'm worried about later when I want to upgrade my tools!
Also as someone who has more than 200 hours in the PC version of this game I'm having some difficulty getting used to console controls. I miss that KBM control fidelity.

Got this today. Totally loving it. About an hour into it.
Have only found 26/28 people to talk too though. For the life of me, I cannot find the last two >.<

The parts that contradict what everyone else is saying?
Im just worried itll suck, since Ive been looking forward to this for a while and never played the PC version.
Were you used to the PC controls?

Nah, don't worry. I was used to the PC controls and it's mostly fine. There's some weird stuff in the menus where you sometimes can't select certain things (see above) and apparently the controls of one minigame are messed up but other than that it plays great.
No, and they game doesn't suck so you can stop worrying. And there are other people talking about the controls on this very page.
It's just silly stiff like not being able to drop items or cancel out a crafting choice ( ie if you open the crafting menu and press A ( I think ) it build whatever you clicked and if your inventory is full you've no choice but to trash something - you can't just press B to cancel the build or choose an item to drop in the floor ).
Other stuff like not being able to drag an area for laying your seeds or whatever seems like a missed opportunity on a touch device and unless I'm missing something it can't be done with buttons either so every single tile had to be done manually.
Haven't tested this, but earlier someone wrote you could just put the item back into the crafting menu to cancel. Does that not work?
I tried that and could not get it to work, once you craft something there is no way to undo it.
There is a quest structure and an ultimate "goal" that will take you hundreds of hours to achieve. You can ignore all that and play however you like but the RPG elements are there, which is what sets the game apart from Animal Crossing.
Hmmm interesting..
Yeah this was driving me insane! Will see if I can 'mouse over' anywhere to drop.
100%. It's pretty complex at times but totally age-appropriate.
I loaded this up for the first time yesterday and I was VERY surprised by how much structure and narrative there is. There's actual lead-in for you coming to Stardew Valley and an actual contention/drama in the world.
This game is loaded with story when you compare it side-by-side with Animal Crossing. Even just talking to people they feel like fleshed out people rather than cartoon cut-outs. (I do love AnCro though.)
