ACNH Pet Peeves and Petty Complaints Thread

I actually kinda miss flowers dying if you run over them. Sure, you ran the risk of losing valuable hybrids, but stomping your big clumsy feet through the garden was a great way to get rid of a bunch of flowers without having to put them in your inventory.
 
I’m still kind of surprised Katie wasn’t implemented in ACNH and still kinda bummed about it. For the mere fact it was one of the only reasons I interacted with people in NL and it would add to the “connectedness” they seemed to have been going for with ACNH.
It’s not that big of a deal but man I liked Katie a lot.
 
I'm annoyed about Kapp'n coming to the game. The pier was my favorite spot to watch fireworks and meteor showers. Now Kapp'n will ruin it with his boat and I'll have to find a new spot and move my pier decorations somewhere else.
 
I’m really, like really, happy about getting more and new villagers, but I’m annoyed that that’s just yet another thing not included in the guide book now.

I get it, we should’ve known since they did say the game would have updates and additions. It’s still irritating though, especially because the book came out so late that it was already out-of-date by the time I finally got it!

This is a hilarious petty complaint. I kind of want you to take a pic with him in the background and you looking all grumpy!

I'm considering making my own PDF guidebook with Canva.com or another graphic design software/tool, using various sources online. It will be complete with fan-made resources as well: MeteoNook, 3D Planner, turnip exchange, Nookazon. Would you like me to notify you when I come out with the first part?

I would absolutely love that ♥
Please do let me know, especially if there’s anything I can help with. I’m a pretty good editor, so I could help proofread if you’re looking for people!
 

I think its completely unfair to expect a company to make a game that lasts more than a year of fun and excitement.

But for those of us who lasted a year with this game. The year was a blessing. And frankly if we got a year of fun. We should have paid more for it.
The game should have been $20 and then $20 dlc. The entire series doesn’t have much content to begin with. Sandbox games in general are WAY cheaper than $60, with more content, honestly we’re just paying for the brand and nostalgia at this point. Not saying I don’t love this game, but definitely shouldn’t pay more nor do I agree with its price as of now.

I know myself, one of my irritations with NH was the price point and the lack of content/promises being carried out.. or just the flaw of poor expectation I created myself.

Either way, I do think $60 was steep before. After this update, I think the $60 is "ok" because well, it has Nintendo slapped on it which makes the price go up.I think $25 for DLC is fair from what I've seen in the trailer.
I think $30 would have been fair for NH prior to this last upcoming November update. $20 at launch in 2020 since they had missing holidays because to me, that version of the game was more like early access than a game that was getting "free updates". I don't care about the locking and unlocking of holiday stuff, I feel like that was a poor excuse to make holidays seem like something it isn't.

This! I more or less agree with your take--I'd say maybe $40 would be a good price point? $60 was definitely too steep for the unfinished and lackluster product we got on launch day.

Also, I'm with you: as much as I love Nintendo and their games, I'm not going to glorify a multi-billion dollar corporation to the point of saying they deserve to take more of my money. The game is okay, but it is DEFINITELY not worth more than we payed.
 
Oh, I have another petty complaint.
The very hypocrisy of cicada shells.

One of, if not the rarest 'bug' drops in the entire game with a paper-thin catching window.
Sells for 100 freaking bells.

In that case I believe breath of the wild should be 15, odyssey should be 10, and pokemon should be 5.

Because at my 1500 hours played on new horizons, and none of the others reaching 100 hours, I don't see how they could ever be deemed worth more than new horizons is.

Your take honestly baffles me.
20 is a joke if you don't think all other games in general should be slashed to that point
 
Why can't I interact with objects while in camera mode? I hadn't noticed this before. Tried to make a short video playing an instrument without the UI and it's impossible.

I also really miss the short depth of field from the early days of the game.

That’s where I think you’re incorrect. Odyssey and BOTW are games with tons of content, and are EXACTLY what was promised. Pokemon sword and shield wasn’t worth $60 before the DLC either. If you have 1000+ hours in a free to play game, is it all of the sudden worth $60?

All other game prices should not be slashed, I wouldn’t even consider New Horizons a game before this dlc. I don’t think the games in your example can be compared to NH, just because they’re by the same company.

New Horizons is fun, it’s cute, it gives me comfort and maybe a few hundred to thousand hours. But if that’s all it takes to make a GREAT game then the game devs of the world need to do some serious rebranding.

I just can't understand you at all here.
I honestly can't. Not even a little bit.
But its interesting to know that there are people out there who can say a game isn't good enough to count as a game but is good enough to willingly put 1000 hours into.
 
For some reason, after a villager gives me a request and I talk to them again, the dialogue option to chat is gone! I like to talk to my villagers several times in a row, even after they give me a task, but in NH my villagers just ask me to finish up their request for them.. like noooo I wanna talk to you :(
 
its probably been said multiple times but im a little sad that theres no catching beetles for money in acnh, it wa smy favourite thing to do in acnl and it was a great way to make bells. now im still lost about how to best earn bells in a fast way and catching scorpios and spiders etc seems so stressful to me i dont even want to try it T_T acnh is a lot more grinding in general and it feels more exhausting

Same! The tarantulas and scorpions are so scary 😖 it sucks that Nintendo made them available all year round instead of just the summer cause now I'm afraid to play after 7pm 😞

I completely respect your opinion, but personally I think it's a matter of quality vs quantity. Sure a game may keep your attention for x number of hours, but does that necessarily attest to the quality of the game itself? I'd say that the terms "keeping someone's attention" and "high quality" are not synonymous. There are low quality free mobile games/apps that have kept people's attention for hundreds of hours---does that mean that people should have paid $60 for those too?

I guess I'm not entirely following your logic that quantity of hours should be the sole determiner in a game's monetary value and that we should have given Nintendo more money for this game?

I mean when I own lots of other games on the switch but I chose to play animal crossing over all of them, because I find it more fun.
Its a quality and quantity thing.

I dont understand why someone would chose to put that much time into a game when they own others and can play the others at that moment in time, but don't. And then say its not good. So why chose to play it and not something else?

That's why I don't get it

The game is both good, and has longevity.
That's why I chose to play it over my other games.
