No Keyboard and Mouse support?

[Nikorasu]

This is stupid. If they don't have keyboard and mouse then there's no point in buying or play this game on PC. Why were we able to play old harvest moon games with keyboard and mouse but not this one just because it's new? I might as well play it on my Nintendo switch then unless they can fix this. Screw Steam I'll just play it on my switch

Exactly. it's ridiculous and unacceptable on steam.

I'm convinced every talented person who used to work on Harvest Moon games has long ago moved to other, better companies. If a single man can make Stardew Valley but these guys can't even hobble together a game without forgetting kbm support 😄

[Siamese55]

I was looking for an answer on this as well. Why are they selling on PC if it doesn't support PC hardware?

[Legendary]

I was just thinking this the moment I saw it. What is even the point of bringing it to Steam if you can't even use keyboard and mouse? It defeats the entire purpose of bringing it to PC. They would have been better off releasing it on consoles only if they were going to do this.

Normally it's the other way round. lol

It's more because Natsume didn't program any of the old Harvest Moon games but was only used as a translator and distributor. The original series was released in the West as Story of Seasons after Natsume was fired as translator and distributor.

Natsume has the trademark rights to Harvest Moon in the west and has been using the success of the old games to sell their crappy versions. In effect, they killed this brand.

When I see the "Only controller is supported" orange box, it's a red flag to me that every other aspect of the PC release or the game in general is going to be a rushed mess cashgrab. Such a great self report from the game publisher that it's glorified Steam sale fodder.

And despite that warning, you bet that the controller support is not gonna be great either. XInput support only, Xbox prompts only, no action-based input rebinding. A glorified Xbox debug build that they could probably export from Unity/Unreal with no tweaks required, and people would not notice a difference.

oh boo hoo, i cant play a game because i dont know how to play with a controller or too poor to buy a cheap xbox controller and would rather spend $10 on boba/starbucks drink or spend $20 on door dash.
PC entitlement people these days. REEE REEEEEE, EESH.

Woosh. Go post on r/GamingCirclejerk some more.

Who did you have in mind when you came up with that strawman personality to get mad at?

This and it pisses me off to no end. Some of us are adults who have to use a keyboard and mouse all day at work and want to use controllers to play video games.

That era hasn't existed since the early 2000's at the latest, and the only game I could think of that had that issue as of recent was Mass Effect 2, and that was back in 2010 and has mods and a remaster that fixes that. lmao.

Talk about picking at straws to make your incoherent point seem more sound.

I own many controllers. That's not the point.

Incoherent point? Do you struggle with reading comprehension? All he said is it's usually the other way around, and he's right.

[Hairy Goober]

I mean, at least I don't need to wishlist this for later cuz they're letting us know the game sucks before it even comes out. Kind of a plus

I’m guessing, since there have been complaints about poor kbm support in the past, they decided to just say it’s not supported and release what they have. Their games seem like they have little in the way of resources, this one looks to be an improvement so maybe they reallocated into the gameplay.
