DS #3875: Gardening Guide: How to get Green Fingers (Europe)

[agentgamma]

If you have green fingers, theres probably something wrong.

Reading through the 2 pages here, has nothing to do with the game itself, we are so off-topic

wtf is up with these groups right now?....do they somehow think we want THIS instead of things like Guitar Hero: Modern Hits.

what're they smokin'

They do what they've always done, which is dump and release whatever hasn't been dumped and released yet. The groups don't care what you want. They don't say to themselves, "well we've got this gardening thing which hasn't been done yet, but a small minority on the internet will complain, even though we do all the work and they do fuck all. We won't bother with this one."

n topic:

These games are what drag the DS down, sure ....there to get "women" and the older generation playing but i bet you anything that when they put this in there DS they think "is this the crap my son/daughter spends all there free time on? this fuckin sucks!!!"

....gardening game...something like harvest moon, maybe its not solely gardening but its a helluva lot better than this tripe and the huge following means it must be good right?

Huge following? Where? The cooking version of this app has sold almost 3 million worldwide and is in the top 30 for overall DS sales, the combined sales of all the Harvest Moon games on the DS barely scraps 2 million. So by using your logic, the cooking version of this app is better than the majority of other DS games? The huge following means it must be good right?

The truth is that the DS has the widest demographic of any system. Nintendo market the system to almost everyone, just look at the adverts. This week they're advertising the Layton Bundle as a fathers day gift. They use Patrick Stewart and Julie Walters to push Brain Training to the maturer market.

It appeals to men and women of all ages. My mother has one, my grandmother has one, my neighbours 3 year old has one. They wouldn't touch Harvest Moon, Guitar Hero or the majority of the other DS games with a "huge following", because it doesn't suit them. My mother likes the Cooking Guide because she thinks it's interesting, she also likes the idea that the DS doesn't just have games on it.

You say these games drag the DS down, but what you really mean is that they open the DS to a new (untapped) demographic which isn't you.

Even all those crappy "imagine" games they could have just put it all on one cart and be done with it, we dont need to have a seperate cart for everything a little girl would "imagine" enough already!!!!

On another note, why arent there "imagine" type games for the lads?

"Imagine: Drinking"
"imagine: Kebab"
"Imagine: Masturbaiting to porn"

Its only fair.

You haven't got the basic foundation of business yet have you.

Yes most of the Imagine series could be put on to one cart, but why sell one cart with all the games on for £39.99 when you could sell each one separately for £19.99? And they do sell, by the bucket load apparently.

As for Imagine games for "lads", their series is "Jim/Sam/Tim Power" from Ubisoft. The Imagine series has always been aimed at pre-teen girls.

Good point. One thing I have noticed is that the size is tiny compared to the Cooking Guide. There's no voice over on this one as far as I can tell, you don't need spoken instructions when gardening, which is probably where the saving came from.

Also I really think my Grandmother would love this. She loves gardening so she doesn't really need instructions but the Encyclopaedia would really interest her.

There once was a woman from Leeds,
Who swallowed a packet of seeds...

She woke up one night
With a terrible fright
And found her P***Y was covered in weeds

Sorry couldn't resist it..


On topic, It does not matter what the game or app is, some you are going to like and some you are not going to like. The fact that the console is supported and the available software is diverse will ensure further support for all genres including the stuff you like... Why do people feel the need to fill up a thread saying this is shite or they don't know why they release this type of thing. The fact these are release gives companies funding to create the stuff you do like, and the expanded market gives software houses the ability to take risks as the number of potential sales will be higher because of the bigger the install base.

Software availability and diversity = Console sales = Software sales = Software availability and diversity ( repeat loop )

A. People, stay on topic. This is a thread for this game/cart/program/whatever.
B. Yes, this was dumped. And Guitar Hero wasn't. GH will be out when someone dumps it. Chill.
C. This is a decent looking app. Cooking Guide is fucking great. Will be checking this out for sure. It's good timing, as we are starting a garden this summer.

Just because this is not for you doesn't mean its a shit release.

At least its not Imagine Gardeningz. >_>

 

[djleviticus]

If it tells me how to grow marijuana then I'm into it.

Look under the legal alias, 'tomato'

depends what province you are growing

ON - in a rented house using hydroponics

QB - In the basement with bright lights

MB, NS, PEI, NFLD - from QB

AB, MAN, SK - In a corn field

BC - In your backyard

1) Replace your fingers with the tentacles of a Facehugger

2) Dip your fingers in green paint.

MYSTERY SOLVED!

(english accent: I think I've gawt it!!!)

 

[Overlord Nadrian]

Put your fingers in your nose...

 

[itsRANDELL]
