ACNH unpopular opinions?

[ayeeprill]

You’re not better than anyone else for disliking the popular villagers and liking the unpopular villagers. Seriously gives me the vibe of those kids in high school who listen to indie bands and hate them when they become “mainstream”

 

[Bilaz]

The dialogue is way better than the dialogue in new leaf. I feel like people seem to forget that they’d talk about your town ordinance or give tutorial dialogue over and over.

There were so few lines that people used a specific line to figure out if anyone was moving. Let that sink in, getting one specific line from the entire dialogue bank from a villager before they got tired of talking to you was reliable.

That’s nothing compared to having to go through ‘good morning’ once, they fixed the dialogue priority I don’t hear about my previous day anymore

I don't think Nook's Cranny should get an upgrade...at least not in the way everyone is thinking. I love the way their shop looks and I'd hate for it to get bigger or less rustic. What I think they should do for an "upgrade" is allow us to go upstairs and maybe up there could be more items. Of course, I think this would only be useful if more furniture was released and/or we got access to all variations.

Otherwise, if people do want to it to change its rustic aesthetic then in a not-unpopular opinion, they should allow us to customize the building to fit different themes like modern, fairytale, zen, etc.

I really don't care for the background music, at least, not nearly as much as I did for New Leaf's soundtrack, I love the music in NL so much, there's just something about it

I have another one. All the villagers are just clones of each personality, they don't have anything new to say and they all just copies of ones each personality. I just wish they had their own story and character to them here's whats wrong with the personalities no matter who you have:

Jocks: Only seem to talk about their muscles and workout routine.
Peppy: Only seem to talk about being famous popstars all the time.
Smug: Only seem to talk about being more full of themselves.
Lazy: Only seem to talk about food and their bug friends.
Cranky: Only seem to talk about the old days
Snooty: Only seem to talk about fashion and their looks.
Normal: Only seems to talk about doing their laundry.

The only personality I don't have an issue with is Sisterly. They seem to have more character to them and they always are neutral around everyone. Its a shame that there wasn't many Sisterly villagers made and the only one that stood out to me was Cherry which is one of my favorite villagers. With all due respect I get every villager looks different, but can I just ask why do they have to have the same story and personality as each other? This is why trying to have variety of villagers on your island is one of the hardest things to do.

I really hate when people act like those who dislike some popular villagers but love some unpopular villagers, are edgy kids.

It seems so prevalent to think that way, but I'm sure every one of us would never have one of the most popular villagers, but adores one of the least popular.

Its crazy to me that some people think it's crazy to dislike the most popular villagers.
But im certain if we polled to see who disliked them as well, they would have their fair share of votes.

Really Its insulting when people act like it's acting out to not like who they like

 

[maria110]

I really really like jock villagers. They are wonderful!

 

[DarkSlayer1331]

The developers don't have to give us all the same stuff we had in previous games. We had that stuff already. This is a new entry, with new things. People need to get over the fact that their "expectations" are all self made.

You got lots of company with that opinion it’s one most popular opinions actually.

Might of been said before I don’t believe that Club Tortimer I would make or break the game.

 

[Solio]

It's a little bit of a disappointement that the Roost is incorperated into the museum instead of being its own building.
I would have loved to have a Café to decorate around.
I don't care if it "messes with people's layouts". Here we are, complaining that there is nothing to do, but also unwilling to remodel our town layout a tiny bit for a single building, which would give us something to do...
Also, I don't get why people cling so much to their one town layout, completely unwilling to change anything.
I get that it's hard to part with a design you like, but there are so many possibilities out there that it feels like a waste to me to stick to one town design.

I think this might be the most unpopular opinion, but I am not quite fond of New Horizon's graphics. Yes, it is very realistic and very HD, but that's kinda the problem I have with it, I don't think "realistic" fits the AC world. I much preferred the New Leaf or Pocket Camp's graphics and by that I mean, the bright, pastel almost color palette. New Horizons feels like it has too much shadow and the lightning inside the house is... ugly, it's either too yellowy or too white.

 

[SoftCrowbar]

I don’t like pretty much any of the new villagers (Cyd is the only exception)

I don’t like most of the super popular characters, especially one (I’m looking at you, Marshal.)

Redd’s spawn rate doesn’t bother me at all.

Diva is one of my absolute favorite villagers.

The free updates don’t bother me at all. I don’t mind that there’s not too much with each update.

Idk if this last one is unpopular, but I wish ACNH had more bold colors like in the previous games/Pocket Camp.

also I thoroughly love Tom Nook and it pains me when people vilify him

edit: I don’t give a hoot if new stuff would ruin people’s layouts, I still think more buildings would be a good idea.

edit 2: I really actually love the ACNH soundtrack and play with the music on only. It doesn’t compare with NL but NH’s music I really love.

also, I think people get too uppity about what villagers people like/dislike as though it’s a personal offense. It’s not that deep

 

[konijntje]

- The villager dialogue system is...bad but the New Leaf and City Folk ones frankly were not any better and no offense it is rather lazy

- We really do need more than like...3 buildings I don't really care about other people's layouts

- I really, really miss GracieGrace and would like it to come back! Why only in two games?

- Again, the realistic graphics look odd to me with an Animal Crossing game I don't really care what people obsessed with "pristine" graphics have to say. I despise pastels.

- I like most of the supposedly "ugly" villagers and they are all so charming to me

- I know this is a popular opinion but the music is not my thing and the fact that you can't turn it off makes it worse. They should have never switched composers. Totaka's soundtracks really brought AC to life.

- Very "neat" looking islands are kind of odd to me since its...an island

 

[Scrafty]

I love most of the soundtrack. The bass sounds so good when you listen to it with headphones.

 

[DaisyFan]

Fashion is one of my favorite villager hobbies. I love seeing some of my villagers wearing an accessory and carrying a pink purse.

This. I find it incredibly ironic that the same people complaining that they have nothing to do in the game are often the same ones who scream bloody murder if there is even a hint new buildings are coming and they would need to redesign their layout. It has been highly implied in marketing/commentary since game launch that new vendors, and by extension, new buildings, might be in the cards. Those people might have lucked out with the Roost, but the island really does need more than the current five buildings plus houses, and there are plenty of people who would happily fit in new buildings into our layout.

In my island hopping, I have yet to come across an island, even the maxcore ones, that could not manage to fit in additional buildings. You don’t need a dozen picnic blanket scenes on one island!

And can I just say sometimes I don't see people even think about navigation on their island. I've been to dream islands and I just need to express this, Narrow pathways are not really good for navigation. I Just find myself walking around find out where to go and I often get lost in an island where its so cluttered with all these decorations that people put on their island. This would not bother me if there was like more open areas or like directions of where to go on the island.

For me on the other hand I would much rather navigate on simple island that has open paths and clear navigation of getting to places quicker and faster. On my 2nd island Daybreak is a good example. I know where each bridge and incline is suppose to go, and I make sure that it is easier to get to the cliffs and back to the plaza really quickly. With all due respect I know people have their own ways of designing their island, but if there is one thing they often overlook is the navigation of how people explore your island and how they are suppose to get to said areas.

YES. I 100% agree with this opinion right here. When I first saw the New Horizons trailer I was like the graphics are amazing but I don’t think it’s very fitting to an Animal Crossing game. I miss New Leaf’s and Pocket Camp’s style, I also would of loved if Nintendo stuck with the beta style:

I know it looks kind unfinished and it needs to be cleaned up a little but I like it. I feel like it’s truer to the franchise than what we currently have.

IMO making the graphics more realistic was a major mistake and the worst thing to ever happen to AC. I sound dramatic but it’s so so sad we can’t go back to something like PC’s or the graphics pictured above, I just feel like Nintendo ripped away everything fun and playful about AC graphics.

I always skip Bob and roald. Forgive me pls.

Redd’s spawn rate doesn’t bother me at all.

me neither! my museum’s been complete for quite a while now, but his spawn rate has never bothered me, not even when i was still trying to complete my art exhibit. he shows up when he shows up, and that’s fine with me!

edit: I don’t give a hoot if new stuff would ruin people’s layouts, I still think more buildings would be a good idea.

- We really do need more than like...3 buildings I don't really care about other people's layouts

i agree 100%!! i can understand that having to change up your layout to accommodate new buildings would be frustrating for quite a few people, but i’m definitely hoping for some new buildings eventually.

and while we’re on this topic, i’m also genuinely disappointed that the roost is going back into the museum. it’s not that big of a deal and i appreciate the nostalgia of it, but i really was hoping that the roost would be its own building again like it was in new leaf. oh well.
