I’m so glad sso has competition now, but I’m disappointed with the state of this game and it’s story though. It should be considered early access with how buggy it is, but at least the devs are proving to be 100% on top of things and they’re always responding to people’s criticisms on steam so that’s a really good sign. I think this game has SO MUCH potential.
Its not competition, any game released by a recently established company will take years and potentially decades to actually pose a threat. I will never understand why everybody automatically concludes these games are going to do extremely well and steal SSO audience and they flop terribly. SSO is realistically so far ahead of any recently released equine games it is practically impossible to 'beat'. It would take a larger company, say the developers of Call of duty or Red Dead to make a game targeting an entirely equine audience.
Hey, they pushed out a new patch yesterday. It didn‘t fix all the bugs, but the most annoying ones. But yeah, it feels like it is a beta. But even big companies do that *cough* EA with every Sims 4 expansion*. For this horse game though, the developers at least seem to listen and try to make things better. Hm, I think it isn‘t really competition to SSO since SSO is pretty unique for a horse game due to its online multiplayer.
SO glad you're playing this! The game is wonderful and has a LOT of potential. The team is working hard on crushing bugs, so hopefully it will be in a more playable state soon! Can't wait to see you play more of it :D
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who STRUGGLED jumping that river!!! I've been playing a couple days now and I'm slowly getting used to the controls, just wish the camera would just stay behind you, I hate having to move it myself!
Dude the visuals are so pretty, such nice contrast. I don't remember what it reminds me of though lol Also the instant regret when you said "this games making me feel things" 😭😭
If anybody is interested to get to know more about the game or want help with anything, I and a few other lovely people have made a Discord server for all things related to Horse Tales: Emerald Valley Ranch! There you can find guides, maps that locate where wild horse herds spawn or where certain resources are located, help chats, announcements, reviews, bug reports and much more~ (Also, the camera on PC is *SO* sensitive, but you can thankfully fix that by adjusting it in the settings!) There are a lot of bugs in the game on both PC and consoles (especially Switch), but the developers are taking in all the reports and reviews and are working on fixing and addressing all these issues currently in the game. They often post updates on the game's Steam Page :D
What's the discord please? I bought the game on Switch and it's bugged so after beating Lili in the race when I next go to play it hasn't saved me winning and I have to do it again! Twice now, I refuse to do it a third time!
I finished the main quest in 3 days😂. Currently focused on completing side quests and building up my estate. Hope they add more quests in the future though.
@@0Doves0 Yeah, it was honestly super disappointing when the quests were over.. Especially since that was my prime motivation for playing the game daily, till well, after Sunday 😂
When the new Belgium war blood horse comes in sso on double starcoin weekend I will be buying 10k starcoins and I’ll get 1-2 warmbloods spend some on tack and save the rest for the Tennessee walkers and I’ll get 3 spend some on tack and save the rest for the possible winter magic horses!
Yasss finally a new horse game! I started Star stable last year and was paying for months but I totally missed its prime. Was all sad I never got to see it when it was actually fun so I’m def playing this asap to get the full experience 😭
ayyy happy to see you try this one out! you always have great critiques lol The game has such a great potential the graphic style is awesome for what it is. the crafting mechanic along with the breeding is pretty promising it adds a neat personal touch per player. The ability of our character to jump is funny too (for those items on the rocks you were trying to get 😂😂). i'd have to say what's been bugging the heck out of me is the camera and constantly petting the horse (btw yes better horses seem to need it less); the one you're on likes the d + s + d combo. I feel like it's hard to control the horse and actually play. I would suggest catching yourself one of the wild horses since they added the irish cobs and using the better grade horses especially for that one lilli race ppl keep getting stuck on cuz the starter horse gets too stressed to sprint. Also to get the wash station you have to talk to kikki near the crater lake close to a race. I'm happy to see we have a new horse game in general that offers the rare breeding mechanic, especially for an open world 3D casual type of game. I'm doing the same wanting to come back to this game and seeing it grow for now. also did ya see there is a new free realms planned? i think it's called Free Realms: Sunrise but granted still beta until next year I believe so if ur interested you can keep an eye on that
I've really been looking forward to this, but after watching a few other people play this game too, the camera controls are making me nauseous. Hope they change it
its now the second day of binge playing this game.... and im through i feel empty... well back to sso haven't played the update anyways... it is a great game but i hate that theres no fast traveling, well if there was u would pprobably get through the story in 4h or something
This game low-key gives me if star stable was recreated by the new Animal Jam creators I haven't played that game in YEARS but it reminds me of that in a way XD.
I’m SOOO glad you like it cuz I just found it and I’m obsessed. I’m so excited to watch you play. Not gunna lie it’s hard at points but at least there is a challenge unlike starstable
Played this on steam and it was too buggy but I liked the mechanics & the graphics! I requested a refund & now I’m waiting for it to release on PS5, I think it’ll be better on that. The camera was driving me nuts though. Hopefully in future updates it’s fixed.
Ahhh sad I won't be able to play this unless they fix the camera situation - just watching gave me EXTREME motion sickness. I can't even play Minecraft because of how nauseous it makes me :,)
Honestly I'm very disappointed with the game right now, the camera is wild and the game lets you figure everything out on your own. One of the issues I can't get over with is my horse keeps getting stressed (I started with Molly, the black one and am still using her atm) I can't even finish the first race without my horse getting stressed and refusing to gallop, and every time I make sure my horse is 100 % relaxed before each race, I bought the game on pc and don't own any console or controller, and now I realize that the reason why the controls are so bad especially for the camera is because you 're supposed to use a controller? On PC? I'm sad to say this but this game has every aspect every star stable player wanted: male characters, horse personalities, breeding, a challenging racing system, interactions with your horse, a care system etc.. But oh my gosh I wish the game was more like sso actually because at the moment I feel like it's not playable, the male characters are weird female reskins, the horses keep getting stressed over jumps, you aren't able to free roam out of the road and into the bushes, you keep crashing and failing everywhere and the camera makes me want to tear my eyes out and on top of that the breeding system is still broken as you can get an Irish cob by breeding two Selle français... And the game really doesn't direct you to side quests, you have no way of knowing if you have sides quests available in the area, except if you power through it and roam around the map 24/7 Sso honestly doesn't have competition right now with how the game is currently Also, I'm French, the game is french. In france we use azerty keybord (instead of qwerty) the fact that you can't (or at least not to my knowledge) change the controls from qwerty to azerty just kills me, i can change my keybord on my pc but then the letters don't match up and I don't know their order in qwerty, so this means I'm playing with the arrows on the right and casually switching my fingers to the far left of my keybord to accept dialogue or even during races (when jumping for example it's really not practical)
In case you somehow still haven’t figured it out: you can change the camera settings. I don’t understand why nobody frigging checks game settings before they start a game. Tame a better wild horse to do the races, because the starters are trash.
the misson are easy why didnt you see xD lol you had to talk to the red head to finish the quest. dont say its to confusing if you just to dumb to see it xD
people tend to talk about "competition" whenever a new horse game is released or is in the works, but the truth is these are not MMOs, therefore could never stand up to or even compete with star stable. Its nice there is more story horse games, but they are all single player. I know a lot of people are looking towards Astride, but what everyone fails to mention is how these games can be played in two maximum, if even. Star stable is still the only option for the majority of people, and apart from Red Dead Online (which is practically dead) there is no other horse MMO worth playing. While Horse Tales, Astride and all the other games may in a few years be solid, they do not really pose a threat to star stable, because single player games and MMOs just cannot be compared, plus alot of people play online games for the social aspect., which single player games lack, unfortunately leaving us with nothing to choose from.
You can change the camera settings. And I still don’t understand why every person struggles so much with jumping?? Stop jumping 20 miles beforehand friggin god
@@xenay911 Lmfaoooooo, it got me the first few times, mainly bc I was so used to sso, but after a few minutes of playing it I got the hang of it. It's easy to learn when to jump
Ahh the first thing I noticed in this game is the fact that both masculine and feminine charas are wearing the enby flag hoodie , my hearttttttttttt. Over all this looks like an amazing game!
Its not competition, any game released by a recently established company will take years and potentially decades to actually pose a threat. I will never understand why everybody automatically concludes these games are going to do extremely well and steal SSO audience and they flop terribly. SSO is realistically so far ahead of any recently released equine games it is practically impossible to 'beat'. It would take a larger company, say the developers of Call of duty or Red Dead to make a game targeting an entirely equine audience.
I don't agree with everyone comparing EVERY horse game to sso, saying EVERY horse game is 'SSO competition'. No game is SSO, no game is the same as SSO. No game has the same feel that sso does. If you're tired of sso, stop playing it. Don't try and make yourself feel better by comparing every horse game to SSO. That's like saying that every multiplayer game is competition for Roblox.
I definitely agree with you on the competition bit, if you really want to call something 'competition' the closest thing that currently exist is RD and that literally poses no threat unless they entirely change the plot. I also think the whole inflammation thing should influence the overall quality of future content as opposed to shitty new games.

The fact that all the sso youtubers came on my fyp for trying out the game but I’m only watching Denis because he has the best judge of character😂
THANK YOU
same lmao
i watched them all lol
same
SO glad you're playing this! The game is wonderful and has a LOT of potential. The team is working hard on crushing bugs, so hopefully it will be in a more playable state soon! Can't wait to see you play more of it :D
I've been playing this non stop for days, There are quite a few things that could be improved but it has great potential
This game has a ton of potential so i hope the developers change the controls/camera system and fix all the bugs!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who STRUGGLED jumping that river!!! I've been playing a couple days now and I'm slowly getting used to the controls, just wish the camera would just stay behind you, I hate having to move it myself!
you can switch it in settings
@@juicymellon6242 Are you serious?! Holy crap Imma have to check that out, thank you!!!
Dude the visuals are so pretty, such nice contrast. I don't remember what it reminds me of though lol
Also the instant regret when you said "this games making me feel things" 😭😭
it might remind you of breath of the wild?
This game makes me feel rather nostalgic - is the game it reminds you of perhaps the old PS2 games Pippa Funnel? ^^

this game just came out?
@@mellowhny oh lol ur right the one I’m thinking of is horse riding tales 😂 they’ve got similar names not my fault
I love how it said “long press for long jump” and you completely dismissed it just so that right after your had to do a long jump over the river lmao
Please record this game more often :D
i got so lucky when my game glitched and i could repair the same sand castle infinite times so i have like 1000 favors from esmee
I finished the main quest in 3 days😂. Currently focused on completing side quests and building up my estate. Hope they add more quests in the future though.
I got the game on Thursday when it released and finished all the quests and stuff on the game on Sunday, it's way too short for the price of it.
@@Im_Iconic-Youre_Ironic Yeah. I was thinking "that's it?" when the main quest was over. Hopefully they add more.

Yeah, it was honestly super disappointing when the quests were over.. Especially since that was my prime motivation for playing the game daily, till well, after Sunday 😂
@@Im_Iconic-Youre_Ironic fingers crossed🤞🏾
@@0Doves0
Definitely
Lol you‘re the first UA-camr I’ve seen to nail the first jump on first try
And the first to fall into the water on the long jump
Can't wait for you to realize that the entire game is just running from point A to point B 😭
How can you say this when you're literally the main character of the game?! MISTER GABRIEL KINGMOON
@@DenisWisestorm I HATE THAT UR RIGHT
At this point you’re just arguing with yourself. You’re literally leasing Denis from point a to point b 😭

I had a stroke with the camera movement and controllers BUT its a cute game XD rly giving 2000's (beginning of) but with better graficts
I've really been looking forward to this, but after watching a few other people play this game too, the camera controls are making me nauseous. Hope they change it
Make sure to claim the DLCs while they’re still for free!! You only have until the 10th!!
how do i do that?
its now the second day of binge playing this game.... and im through
i feel empty... well back to sso haven't played the update anyways...

if you hold space, you can jump further (you probably already figured that out, but might as well tell you anyways)
Had a feeling you'd play this game! :D
In the settings I’m pretty sure you can fix the camera so it isn’t so slippery! Hope this helps
I used to play Freerealms, the og devs are remaking it. It's currently in beta testing I think!
Heh heh I bought it. I wouldn't of known about this without youuuu thanks lovvvee
I highly recommend turning down the sensitivity of the camera so it becomes less like a motion sickness feeling XD ♥
Wow just starting the video and it looks greatt :o
I have this game love it but need help I’ve completed the beat lilli task but it still saying I need to do it I can’t progress
Played this on steam and it was too buggy but I liked the mechanics & the graphics! I requested a refund & now I’m waiting for it to release on PS5, I think it’ll be better on that. The camera was driving me nuts though. Hopefully in future updates it’s fixed.
does anyone know if this game is going to be multiplayer?
Omg I have to playyyyy
Ahhh sad I won't be able to play this unless they fix the camera situation - just watching gave me EXTREME motion sickness. I can't even play Minecraft because of how nauseous it makes me :,)
o.O huh... where do you find this game now? steam?
I been looking into this game but, is it worth it for me to pay about $30-$40 for the game on ps4?

The part where the game forces you to go back in time and redo any missed obstacles really bugs me and alone makes me not want to get it.
the game has more bugs than features in game lol

eh.. i didn't like anything about this game. it looks bad. ok maybe horse animations are ok but that's it. not worthy of any attention
This game is terrible on Switch. Blurry, pop-in textures everywhere, some of the worst controls I’ve ever seen. This feels like a $3 iPhone game
