I too am sorry you didn't enjoy the game. That frankly, you felt cheated. The game isn't for everyone and there were many improvements (my own wish list) that I would have loved to see added. Yes, there is some disappointment; I would love to have seem the totem poles, someway of knowing you the collectables were found, the cooking pot and a school for the children, veggies along with the fruit and fish, a way to prevent parnet/child, brother/sister matching, paarnets interacting with their children, even a romance or two without us having to matchmake, but overall, I still enjoy the game and do not see the 20.00 as a waste of time.
I agree, the game is way too long; too long to gain tech points, skills, find mushrooms, rare collectables, etc. and it is sad to watch your villagers starve, leaving you the choice to hope for a miracle or restart the game.
And once you solve all the puzzles, the villagers just keep fishing, researching and having babies...just as they do in VV1 and VV2. I will give VV3 this; this is the first time I felt the storyline of the game was going somehere. Now I have some idea of what happen to Isola and how it can be restored.
And while I have brought a game in the past I was disappointed with, I was able to returned it, without the drama you speak of and leave the matter there. I have found everyone @ LDW to be nothing but helpful and kind to me, working out whatever problem I'd had with my games and even during a painful time in my life, their support has been awesome.
So,whatever problems that you and LDW had should be left between you and LDW. That would have been the adult thing to do.
