It's a fair opinion, I can understand it. I agree to a degree, specifically from the point of 2.0 being how New Horizons SHOULD have been at launch. And the issue of villager dialogue is something that probably will never be resolved and will continue into future entries, sadly.

The villager dialogue doesn't bother me. What does bother me is that they didn't give reese a role at all. They could have had it where she gives you a diy you don't have yet (the game even has it where your cook would give you a new recipe in the dlc) I don't know why they didn't do that. It would make getting diys way easier since the game doesn't have it where new diys take priority over ones you know (outside of celeste) I know it's to share with friends but, it's annoying now that every diy I get now is ones I already have and I know I'm missing some like a gold rose wreath. If it was new ones are brought up first and then it would go back to random ones you already had, it wouldn't be an issue.

I really enjoyed New Horizons. But I just feel like things were too easy. You didn’t unlock things anymore because everything was handed to you via an update. There was no progression. The villager interaction was super watered down. The holidays were the worst for me. Halloween used to have you interacting with your villagers to determine what scared them so you could work for it. Toy Day used to have you talking to villagers for hints about what they wanted as a present so you felt accomplished when you got their present right. The Fishing and Bug Tourney used to have you actually competing with your villagers for the trophy. And the coffee shop mini game where you made coffee for your villagers was removed entirely. Also I wish we had Tortimer Island mini games since we got 8 people multiplayer. I did love the new features like villager hunting, the decorating, cooking/farming, and the terraforming. I just felt like NH was more a decorating game than a town sim game.

The villager hunting was not what Nintendo thought it was gonna be when people freaked out about not having Raymond, or Sherb in their islands. And they didn't think that hundreds of trips would be made in a single play session, that's why Kapp'n was made to where you could only visit the islands he could take you to once per day, cause since it was only 1k NM they had a reason to limit it imagine paying 3k NM to visit an island that normally will be similar to a regular NM island but they limit you to one trip per day, that would be dumb.

Villagers used to have hints of individual character too, even if a bit randomly generated, despite each being stuck into one of like seven archetypes. New Horizons really took that away, and only sort of gave it back later, yet still not to anywhere near the level of New Leaf. I love that you brought up Toy Day too. No joke, the first year I played New Leaf, I didn't get enough hints about what everyone wanted, had to guess my way through some, and left a few villagers disappointed because they didn't get the gift they'd hoped for, and I was so crushed upon seeing Kid Cat look sad and say "Oh... But I didn't want a drum set..." that I decided every December after, I'd make sure I got as many hints as possible to make sure everyone has a wonderful Christmas. The game made me feel a real drive to play all December long each year and give my villagers a happy Christmas, that's something powerful that no other AC game I've played has accomplished. Also, don't forget that in New Leaf, if you played on April Fool's Day, you had to genuinely know the villagers as people, as individuals, to correctly guess who was the real one when Blanca entered their homes and disguised herself as them.

I guess I never thought about the way the game would have played out if Covid never happened. Makes a lot of sense in hindsight. I get that the pandemic threw everyone for a loop but I think Nintendo could have been more flexible with their plans. I'm no game developer but I can't imagine it would take up too many resources to add some new items every now and then. Maybe some different things to do on the holidays. I'm not talking a whole rework of each event, but throw us a bone every once in a while to show they are still paying attention to the fanbase. It just seems like they dropped the whole thing.

Idk why they ceased updates as soon as they did, considering the crazy sales it had. Even if it's paid updates, it's better than abandoning the game all together. My biggest gripe isn't the shallowest of the series villagers, huge lack of Nintendo items/villagers versus NL or less nook store upgrades. It's a lot of the cool main street like areas at Harv's island only being accessible by yourself and no multiplayer mini games. It makes New Horizons too single player focused compared to New Leaf. NL simply has much more to see and do with other people.

Something that really limited my creativity ingame was how expensive it was to relocate buildings! if you didn't place something perfectly to begin with, you would have to spend so many Bells and days just to relocate one building. The DLC was much easier to use. it allowed you to fix your mistakes in a couple seconds rather than days!

It not a scam but honestly the game bored me. Let me make it clear that I was an essential worker and so I never got to stay home I also hate being near people so being indoors or away from people was my favorite part of COVID. (I miss places not being so crowded) Now my biggest issue with New Horizons was that the villagers are so repetitive and boring, in New Leaf I actually wanted to talk to my villagers in New Horizons I find it a chore. I also miss the public works projects and being able to remodel the town hall. I miss the multiplayer mini games, I used to play with my siblings but now there’s no multiplayer. Theres a lot of my favorite furniture that’s missing and the fact that the updates were just the whole game. I miss New Leaf it felt like I actually cared about my villagers and town I played it for years. New Horizons is pretty and there are plenty of things I like but honestly I haven’t been able to go back.

they should totally make an option in the beginning on whether or not you want meaner or nicer vilagers.

I'm pretty sure this was a Wii U game at first. Fortunately the nedt one should be made from the ground to Nintendo next console.

Fans like me who played previous entries weren’t upset at New Horizons because it wasn’t like the past games, but rather because there was objectively less to do. It’s not only about bringing back features from New Leaf that were included at launch but weren’t in New Horizons. Not only did they fail to do that, but they ALSO failed to bring anything new to the table except for terraforming (and godforsaken crafting which being honest, is a complete waste of time meant to pad out gameplay). It’s not an Animal Crossing game because it’s not a life simulator. It’s a design-an-island simulator, with nothing else to do once you’ve finished the design you wanted for your island. They focus so hard on the designing elements of the game that everything else got left behind, including the essence of what makes Animal Crossing, Animal Crossing. I understand COVID-19 made things more difficult for dev teams, and definitely has a part to play in how lackluster and few updates were, but that’s not an excuse for the core issues of the game.

I think the interview that mentioned the game having "new things to find/do for the next 3 years" or whatever it was at the very start, only to have a slow drip feed on the year of release and then barely anything until 2.0 a year later and to be told that was it made many feel like we were given misleading information (not a scam persay, but the flase expecatations many felt did hit many harder than others.) My biggest annoyance was that there were no Zelda crossover items/villagers for the anniversary like they did with Mario. (Why no Master Sword for my Island Nintendo?) I do think if there is a switch upgrade which allows optimization and backwards compatibility, ACNH could have a deluxe release with new furniture and features from pocket camp/older games that could be highly profitable for Nintendo, a la MK8D. Now if that is what players would want over a brand new title, that's the question.

“If you want to play new leaf go play new leaf” that’s it that’s the tweet 🙌🏾

Reminds me how the switch was released not being Bluetooth compatible until some later update. Nintendo is rude

the only struggle I'm facing with the game is my lack of creativity and that's nobody's fault 😂

Since New Horizons is my first animal crossing game, I’m biased and think it’s great, even compared to older games. I’m still obsessed even after all this time. It definitely made a billion mistakes, but I think that just means that the next game is going to be INCREDIBLE. And I’ll be ready when the game launches to jump right in.

I never felt like acnh was a scam. The update thing was new, and weird, but I think that because of the panorama, we all kinda rushed thru the game way faster than anyone woulda expected us to had the world run normally. And because everyone was so focused on looking into the data to see what was coming, people focused more on what wasn't there that they wanted than what we already had. I really liked acnh, even with the update schedule. Mainly cuz I didn't care about reading into data mines to see what was coming eventually, and also cuz I had a couple other games I cycled thru with acnh to fight the boredom. But I think because I was more focused on working with what I had, rather than comparing acnh to other games and complaining that this and that isn't available, it was more enjoyable. If I could've asked for any new feature, I'd have liked to turn off the rare bugs, or at least the scorpions/tarantulas. I don't know if I could call it a phobia, but that's prolly what I got. Either way, I still found my way to enjoy this game despite that. I didn't mind the building and how slow it was, it kinda went with the real-time feel of the game. I dunno, thats just my experience... maybe it was a mindset thing

Unlocking Katrina in New Leaf… I feel this. I JUST unlocked her shop this year and I’ve been playing since a year after it launched.

The other problem is that people speedrun this game and get terraforming within a week after starting a new island and get bored of it weeks later. This game is a life simulator game - meant to be played for several minutes a day, not to be played like a normal video game. Some of us also bought several Nintendo Switches and got burned out that way because we're going from one island to another several times a day, sometimes doing the same things on five islands.

And the only reason why I'm still playing it is because I know if I don't, everyone will leave and then random villagers will take their place and ruin all the rare fruit or flowers that I spent so much time on.

I'm looking forward to the next Animal Crossing game, and I'm hopeful that there will be a lot of features based on community feedback!

Yes. They cut hundreds if not thousands of items from series, themes, and sets. 😢 I decorated four houses fully in NL and was planning to do 8 on the switch, but I don’t have any drive to since all of my favorite pieces were removed With the big 2.0 update when they said “thousands of items” would be coming, I foolishly thought “ooh maybe they’ll bring some/all back”….no. They just had stuff like a backpack or chair in 40 different colors, and then counted them all as separate items 😭 I haven’t touched NH in years. I never even bothered to finish the KK stuff.

One thing I do think is new horizons is still a really good game even though I think new leaf is better game too. There is a few things I dislike about new horizons. I wish we could have a dragon musame instead of dinosaurs to change it from new leaf and I wish we had a butterfly house where you can raise butterflies then release them during spring and summer. Then instead of diving and catching fish we could have dive and take photos of fish and sea creatures and have a photo gallery in blathers museum and he can tell you about everything. Then catching fish and catching bugs is still optional where you can perticpate in bug and fish contest still. I love the art gallery but wish it was a little bigger and had more famous art.

When I play New Horizons i miss what's in New Leaf, but when I play New Leaf I miss what's in New Horizons. I think the perfect Animal Crossing game would be a combination of both of them.

Personally I was disappointed by the game in it’s final state. It released barebones, and 2.0 was decent enough. A single nook’s cranny upgrade too? Every other game had like four.

Same. I don’t regret buying it. I even have played NL and the first game cube version, but I still go back to NH. Probably because I LOVE the possibilities of decorating everything.

As you said this game is fun but god they really missed the mark, I found Bunny Day not that annoying as most people did, but the fact that new content was scarce for this game and old content from prior games comes back in some new paint really sucks, while the actual new additions to the game were good, the old ones added later felt like a slap to the face. (Also the star fragment trees were so cool and they never made that into a thing, literally was already coded into the game, and they were like nah don't want this one time tree that can't regrow these stars to be in the game.)

I feel like the biggest problem about this is the fact that NH is such a departure from the previous games in both its priorities and the genre that it’s caused a split between the og Life Sim crowd and the newer Decorating Sim crowd. I don’t have New Horizons (would like to try it, but $60.00 is a lot for a video game :’) ) but from what I’ve seen from both sides, the game tries to be both types of simulators at the same time and fails to do it well. There’s limitations on the decorating aspect that make it tedious and a little unlike typical other decorating sims; there’s limitations/downgrades on the living life aspect that makes it feel less immersive and way more superficial than the previous games. Basically, I think this is why the tweet shown in the video is causing such diverse opinions about New Horizons: the game brought over two different crowds that have different takes on the core and small problems with the game and what their ideal Animal Crossing game would be that they fully agree with the other about it. Like before, it was largely just the Life Sim crowd prior to NH so the lacking Life Sim aspects and previous games’ features would be very important to the longtime fans of the series. The folks who first got into NH would not only not know about this, but especially those in the decorating crowd would not like the weird limitations and quirks that the game has on crafting/decorating/terraforming for the player and wouldn’t necessarily enjoy the previous games either. Even though there’s problems that both sides can agree on, the severity and number of problems definitely depends on which type of sim you play New Horizons and Animal Crossing in general for, to the point where it can easily make or break your enjoyment of the game. (Also if anyone is curious, my ideal Animal Crossing game would have a better balance of both sims with an in between of GameCube and Wild World villagers, more features from all 5 games and and more stuff/story to explore. I’m more of the Life Sim crowd because I don’t care that much about creating the most aesthetic town (outside of the fact that putting items outside of your house is really cool) and I do love talking to the villagers, but the balance of both would make this hypothetical game great for a lot more people when done right).

This was my first game so it will forever hold a special place in my heart that introduced me to the franchise and all the amazing characters that became like my extended family. I played this game for countless hours for over 2 years and i still go back from time to time. For me i could never call it a scam, i enjoyed the many updates it was so exciting to see them release additions to the game, it made the game feel new again. Though i wish they hadn't stopped updating it but im so excited for the next game and adventures i will have with my furry little friends.

I think yes, a lot of companies are in the nasty habit these days of knowingly releasing games unfinished, and patching their way to a finished game over time (I understand the strategy for early access indie games, but AAA studios don't need to be doing that). Except I don't think NH was ever finished. It has a lot to offer in terms of decorating, but what else? It felt so much more like a collect-a-thon than any other animal crossing game. Catch all the bugs? Get a decoration. Catch all the fish? Get a decoration. Even during holidays, find the holiday material, craft it into a holiday decoration. All activities in this game amount to collect mats, turn mats into decorations. There are hundreds of pieces of furniture and decorations, but a lot of furniture staples never made it to NH, which I believe is fine but others may find dissatisfying. The game just doesn't offer a lot to do outside of becoming a decorator. If you like AC games but don't enjoy the building/decorating aspects of games, you'll be stuck with less to do. No Island minigames, no built-in multiplayer minigames, barely any minigame interaction with villagers. I got maybe two minigames to play with my villagers in my 800+ hours. Speaking of villagers, they feel like they have much less dialogue and personality in NH, there's a huge pool of villagers available in this game, but they all feel very copy/paste. If you have two of the same villager personality on your island (inevitable with the maximum amount of residents you can have), because of the lack of dialogue, they will start to feel very samey after only a short while. I could rant forever but I think it's so disappointing because the aspects of NH that are good are AMAZING. The visuals are stunning, animations beautiful, this is the most customizable AC title to date. It could've been perfect, but it's just missing so much content and substance. *I forgot to mention, even the DLC, which had the opportunity to add new gameplay to the already customization/decoration heavy game, added a whole campaign where the main gameplay is customizing and decorating. Like we get it, the decorating in this game is amazing! But, does it have to be ALL the game offers to do?

new horizons is really fun! i love the clothes customization and being able to place furniture outside. it's a really fun game! and while i certainly wouldn't call it a scam, as a long time AC player, it is rather disappointing. i remember when we heard about NH getting regularly updates and was so excited for all the new things they were going to add! but i was kinda sad to see that most of the updates just added old content from previous games. new entries for a game franchise should be enjoyable for both old and new fans! i'm happy that new AC fans can enjoy NH so much, i just wish most of us older fans could enjoy it as much too.

Scam? No way. It's far and away my least favorite mainline tho. I miss all the progression the other games have. If they released another paid DLC i would buy that so fast😊

As someone who, when I picked up NH in 2021, hadn't played a mainline AC game since Wild World (I had played a bit of Pocket Camp, but still), NH was a huge improvement in my eyes. I played WW as a kid so I don't think I had many complaints about it at the time, but it was still huge seeing how far the series had come since I'd last visited it. I was a bit sad about no Brewster, because despite most of my WW memories being pretty vague, I do distinctly remember that I loved going to get coffee at the Roost- I was like 6-7 and wasn't allowed to drink coffee so it made me feel like a grown-up- so that was probably my only real disappointment, but one I could live with. And then we got him back last year anyway, so you can say I was stoked. I haven't played much of ACNH lately (not entirely on account of finally getting to play TOTK, but it sure helped), but I do still love the game. After playing NL for a time though I can see where some people are coming from, and even agree to a point. I now understand why everyone wants NL on the Switch- frankly I'm waiting for the WW port myself /j

I like NH, but there isnt really much to do other than design stuff. In NL, I loved going to Club LOL, playing snowman bingo, working at the cafe, playing minigames on tortimer island, and especially upgrading the stores. NH also had stuff I didnt really like, like crafting and tool durability.

people saying that acnh is too baren doesn't make any sense.... the point is to build the island.... you don't even need to terraform

I never played New Leaf, so I don't super care about those differences. imo the biggest scam of New Horizons is that all the tools have finite durability, it's just inconvenient and annoying to have to constantly buy/craft new tools when we never had to worry about that before(besides axes which at least gave a visual indicator when they were gonna break). I could deal with those wooden tools being limited but once I can pay thousands of bells for one tool that should be able to last forever. If I wanna buy a starnet let me keep my starnet. And yeah the villagers could be better, that is the biggest thing that could add to longevity. Wild World is a very lacking game feature wise relative to New Horizons, but I never get bored of talking to my villagers and that really would make a difference.

i played new leaf for the first time in 2019, and played for about six months (not nonstop, but put at least 50 hours into it). that being said, i never unlocked a LOT of the game, i never knew swimming or diving existed, or the roost! so for me new horizons may as well have been my first experience. i wasn't a total newbie but i also absolutely was. new horizons was such a lifesaver during 2020 and i'll forever be grateful for that. it wasn't a scam to me because i didn't know what i was missing, and i enjoy decorating so i used my time well lol

my thing is as soon as i finish my island in new horizion i immediately am able to come up with a new theme and redo my whole island . i dont restart i flatten and i dont time travel. it defiantly keeps the game fresh, not as easy to burn out.

I would love a AC New Leaf port on the Switch with New Horizon graphics.

It's quite poignant you showed Genshin Impact as an example of a drip-feed game because it shows really well what New Horizons could have been with monthly updates bringing people back. The first year should have brought back things from the older games (that fit the NH theme) and then after that for at least 1-2 years we should have been getting monthly updates with one big update in March for the anniversary of the game. Genshin Impact, in a similar way, releases who entire expansion-sized regions every summer. The reason why people say New Horizons was a scam was because Nintendo used our knowledge of today's gaming scene against us. When they said they would be updating the game frequently with new things most would immediately think to Genshin Impact, Fortnite, CoD, and other 'live-service' games that go on for years. We got one major new feature in an update right alongside being told that it's over, game's dead. The DLC was so lackluster and did nothing to address the numerous issues: - crafting more than 1 fish bait - further customization of the island (change the airport color, bridge and incline colors) - changing the location of resident services - villager interactions being lackluster - airport dialogue - no second upgrade to the Cranny - numerous quality of life updates - more than island on one Switch - interior rooms can't be made bigger (even with DLC) in our house Then it goes further to these small nitpicks but for me the inability to connect inclines and paths is a crazy oversight. I can connect them to bridges. The custom paths we can use make no sound (how hard is it to allow us to choose what sound it should make). I will stand by the fact that if any other company did the things Nintendo routinely does with their franchises, they'd get eaten alive. Can you imagine EA making a game like this? We were promised, marketed to this new next-gen game and instead we got the Animal Crossing equivalent of The Sims 4... and I love The Sims 4 but COME ON.

i would’ve been happier with acnh as a whole if they hadn’t nerfed modding so swiftly

My only big issue with ACNH besides the lack of story is the fact that they decided to go with updates over time but every update was just them adding things that existed in past games besides one or two things (sanrio crossover, farming, and HHP which is just a remake of HHD)

People are just too addicted to constant instant gratification. I have hundreds of hours in ACNH and most were stress free. BTW I used your Factor code today. TY!

I get the argument about not wanting just a port of New Leaf but I still miss being mayor, playing the mini games, the unique stumps, and Main Street.

Can they just make the tools not break anymore?

currently thinking about getting my first switch ever, and as the animal crossing lover i am, i wanted to get acnh as soon as possible, do you think it would still be worth it getting it now?

@@Rachel-tv6nb ahh makes sense. I wouldn’t recommend it but if you’re curious go ahead. I enjoyed it the first 3 months after that I never played it again

I think the major reason for New Horizons' downfall was just updates in general. Updates aren't a bad thing but the common trend of releasing an unfinished game and finishing it through updates is not the way to make an amazing game. As many have already said, 2.0 should've been New Horizons at launch which I think would've at least made it not have been criticized as harshly since there’s not many players who stayed from release till today. Although New Horizons imo is better than New Leaf, I do have some gripes about it compared to New Leaf and some things I dont think New leaf does any better in (Villagers included). Hope the next animal crossing game can release similar to New leaf's fashion where its complete and we dont have to wait for everything.

I started the game 2 weeks ago however the only thing I don’t like is that my tools break it just gets annoying

new horizons was my first animal crossing game, so i was never disappointed because i had no expectations. however i can see why the og fans were let down considering how much new leaf offered in comparison

Why would it be a scam? In my opinion, some mobile games are more of a scam. I used to play a mobile game that was really fun and did it daily. Then it became more of a pay to win type of game. They had a cooking event and you could easily win with 85% pass rate. After a while.... it felt like they changed it. Now it had to be 100% or you would fail it. And around this point.... They added game packs... They also made changes that alot of players made. I miss my character but, the game isn't what it used to be.

And I'm so glad someone said that about new leaf. So many people talk about how amazing new leaf is and how new horizons is trash. But new leaf feels super hard and unfair compared to new horizons. Like in my game a villager moved on my perfect pear trees (new horizons let us choose so we didn't have to worry about loosing any rare trees/ plants) coco moved without me knowing (it maybe more realistic but it's not relaxing, knowing that if I don't play a day, everything I worked hard on could be ruined over night) And I don't even bother with the mini games that much as I've gotten everything from them that was possible to take home. And I even made 3 more players so maybe I don't get bored but I'm kinda feeling burned out but the fear of a villager leaving or a perfect pear I started to grow will be gone because someone randomly moved on it keeps me playing it daily. It feels more like a chore than a relaxing game at this point.

It was fantastic as a new player. Until I realised I couldn't move the town hall...

Having played AC since Wild World I think the new generation of AC players want more. There have been issues in every single AC game, that I feel as an older player Nintendo haven’t addressed. I am in the camp that believes this game was never meant for the switch. It was designed for the Wii U. Covid hit, and most people were at home with time to spare. A game that is designed to be played for a couple of hours a day was being played for hours. Nintendo, like the rest of the world was not expecting a pandemic. People were sprinting through a game that would usually take months. All the games had issues, and, I think as long Nintendo work on these for the next game we could be looking at something amazing!!

This is the first Animal Crossing game I've ever played and I love it. I'm sure the other ones are good too but for now this is my favorite. It's pretty much the only game I play and the main reason I got a switch in the first place.

As someone who didn't get the game until winter 2022, I feel likeI had a different experience than those who hot it upon release. I had everything upfront and loved it.

Animal crossing fans when you ask another good thing about the game that is not "it helped me on quarantine"

I hate that you have to have not only a brand new copy of the game, but a whole other switch to play another island. That’s ridiculous!

I think the only annoying thing in this game is how I need to hear the same dialogy 100 times when I just wanna craft some fishing baits :D

Honestly if you compared New Leaf to New Horizons. It is a scam. How is it a 3DS game has more content and features than new Horizons which was on Nintendo Switch?? They have 2 years to add updates to the game. They just call it quits after the happy home paradise Why? We don't have upgraded shops, we still don't have the Gracie Grace furniture line set. We were suppose to have Legend of Zelda, Monster Hunter, Splatoon villagers. We don't have a police station or tortimer island mini games. We don't even have a mini game in form of a furniture item (Remember the survival island mini game from the wii u furniture item in new leaf?) Where the heck is Club Lol at???? Dr. Shrunk is the soul of Saturday Night live in Animal Crossing with K.K Slider. Without Dr. Shrunk, K.k. Slider doing solo is just weird. We're also missing the Happy Home Acre from New Leaf run by Digby. Whenever we street pass folks, or meet them online, we can order furniture from their houses. Dream Suite was suppose to be its own standalone building, just like the cafe. everything about New Horizons is all wrong, except for the designing.

Shortest video of all time!!! 0:03 was amazing and it helped me alot!! my view of the game has chnaged completely. Thanks Koramora

I feel like people fail to count the new things acnh has, but are very specific about what's missing.

I actually got screwed over by Factor they charged me twice in a row and did not give my money back just to let you know be careful not to mention their meals are extremely expensive just wanted to give you my opinion on it

You know, one of the things with data mining is that you need data to mine. Do not include those function in the final version

ACNH was my first ac and i spent a whopping 1,300+ hours in it, got two islands in different consoles and boy shall i say, its one heck of a charming game, i left it for about a year or so because, burnout obviously, i even played dreamlight valley cause i heard people say it solves problems we have in acnh, i enjoyed it yeah but its noting like acnh, it charming, pretty and relaxing, sometimes stressful too, does it have flaws? hell yeah but its still fun asf and its one of a kind game that gives you one of a kind feeling and i would def. recommend it to literally everyone

I loved ACNH, and I cant wait to play the next one (if there is a next one)

There will be a next one, ACNH is the second most highest selling game on the switch. Its definitely getting a sequel.

This game helped me get through the pandemic, so I'd say it's worth it. But when things went back to normal postpandemic, plus me working a job, I did get bored of ACNH for a while, and stopped playing games for a while as well. Life got pretty busy.

Such a shame they stopped updating the game…. It was only 2 years of updates if I can remember…

People always talk about how boring the villagers are, and I can absolutely see why, but I just wanted to shed some light on the other side of the argument. As someone who also grew up on Animal Crossing, I really appreciated not having 40% of the population constantly yelling at me. At the beginning of release, there was very little dialogue so the villagers were easy to get tired of, but I kinda thought this was because Nintendo had spent time giving them new actions. Little things like singing, dancing, or running around made them ACT much more alive in my opinion. The villagers are so cute now that playing is a free source of serotonin. Back in City Folk, my villager best friend used to gossip about me behind my back and yell at me for not doing things that weren’t mechanics in the game. I would MUCH rather have villagers who run and sing without a care in the world.

Thank you! This is why I'll never play the og game. I'm not gonna befriend someone who's rude to me. I would actively avoid them. I thought NL handled them well. They didn't yell at you but there was still a little sass.

Once I finished the museum I kinda lost interest, and I guess lockdown finished too.

I feel like if it wasn’t bc of the pandemic this game would have been a very bad sequel tho… it’s got very good things but the thing is that they just give u the basics and after u just gotta search uf or ur life doing everything by ur own which they call freedom of customizations and things

Actually, the fruit was really just laziness. It wouldve been very easy to add them.

I love this game, I'm from a time when there wasn't any updates or DLC so that's not a problem for me, but I did love the hhp DLC 😁💜💜

I was playing pokemon Violet while watching thinking the whole time how this game was a scam compared to ACNH

Best AC ever... at least once 2.0 dropped. I hate drip-fed content, and it was made much worse by Covid, but objectively, I think the "complete" ACNH experience is as good as it gets. My first AC was on the GameCube and I've played every entry since, including the Japan-only releases, and 2.0 NH is just fantastic. Not perfect, as noted by villager dialogue or the clunky UI (I'd love one last QoL update more than new content, honestly), but easily the best AC we've seen.

I’ve spent over 200+ hours on Animal Crossing since 2020, I took breaks, and I didn’t really get to do anything cause my older sister did all of the work now I finally get to experience the joy the game has to offer cause now I have my own island

This is my 1st Animal crossing new horizon is the 1st game Ive gotten. I'm 67 and love it💞👍

Zipper didn’t (and will never) bother me due to both time traveling, and i got my game in November 2022. And by April I didn’t even care. Only problem was that I had to get customization for HHP. Wich I speedran. On accident!!

As someone who is not a gamer and hasn’t picked up a game controller since SNES was a thing (early ‘90s), I only found ACNH in the summer of 2021. I find it a delightful game and when I tried to play the other variations, I found I didn’t like them. Basically, like you said, if you prefer any of the animal crossing iterations , play that game. As for me, I’ll continue to play catch up on my Switch Lite with my beloved ACNH. 🥰

I love this game i never thought of it as a scam and I spent waaay to many hours on it to be a scam

hope your doing good Kora I argue being able to time travel in ACNH was the worst thing and ruined the game for so many people

Honestly that's why I stopped playing (and the inventory space. NH spoiled me with theirs).

I do compare new leaf and new horizons with each other but I wouldn't call it a scam, it's just disappointing but I got two additional switches to create more islands because I do love the decorating aspect which is new horizons main focus. I have well over 2k hours in BOTH games, I got my money and time worth it and I'm happy. I just would not really recommend this to players that don't like decorating bc if you're going to play it like new leaf/cityfolk/wild world to unlock things and bond with villagers, it's not really good for it. However, I will be bitter if the next main game doesn't have landscape/decorating outside LMAO. They could have just done better with new horizons but bad timing with the pandemic, it was still game of the year but it did start falling off early 2021 and even when the dlc released, it didn't exactly cure the burnout either. One major complaint I have with the developers is that for old players, all the updates were pretty much old content and the developers ended the updates within a year when they promised at least 2 years. They moved to work on Splatoon 3 which that game I would call it a scam. I have the oled and only 170 hours which makes me sad compared to 2000 in Splatoon 2. The updates they're doing to Splatoon 3 is not good either. All the fun modes are just limited or they somehow ruin it. Both games have not been done well and just yikes when the dev team went from Acnh to Splat3 and both of them have issues and complaints, and gets bad talked on.

Sending you my deepest condolences. You and your family are in my prayers.

This is the farthest reach I've seen in a while..

"New Horizons is a scam because... slow updates!" Wild World: no updates in its life (besides re-release a decade later that you have to purchase again)
