• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

ACNH unpopular opinions?

My unpopular opinion is that I don't like cluttered islands. I appreciate how they look in photos, but once I tried visiting a couple islands that were cluttered.. my view did a complete 360. The lag was so unbearable, I didn't even bother checking out their island. =/
Agreed. That's why I always make sure there's still "space" on my island. I feel as if a lot of people cram way too many ideas into one area, and as you said, it looks great in photos, but once you're actually on the island experiencing it, it can become overwhelming.
 
Yeah I really prefer to have all the stuff still be functional on the island and not all cramped together to the point where it's unusable.
 
1. I’m not actually a fan of the “cute” characters with big sparkly eyes. I like my villagers to have spunk and be a little mean; that way I feel really rewarded when I break through their tough exterior and see the sweetheart in them. The normal/ peppy villagers i have still have a bit of a darker look to them.
2. I actually prefer towns that have a lot of nature, and even a wild aspect to them with plants and trees. I think they’re really pretty. I don’t like the look of towns that have a ton of objects outside everywhere, like amusement parks and arcades and such. Yeah it’s fun to design spaces but personally I just don’t like the look of it. I feel like people just try to jam as much stuff in a space as possible and it just feels cramped. Im trying to make my outdoor objects minimal.
3. Even though I was excited for it, I think terraforming is really stressful and I think it’s actually kind of ruining my experience of the game right now because I can’t decide 100% on how something should look, or if I should change it. The fact that things don’t line up symmetrically in the game either (building and incline width) drives me nuts.
 
This has been on my mind for a couple of days now.
As much as I love the 2.0 update, I'm feeling slightly burnt out already. Will be definitely taking a break from NH when Pokémon BD/SP are released later this week.

To put it into perspective, I brought Brewster to my island and continue to have my 1 cup of coffee each morning or more depending on if Nook Miles+ are involved. Unlocked all of the stores on Harv's Island and am enjoying venturing out with Kapp'n daily.
To top it off, the recipes/cooking aspect of the game is really exciting. Just adds that extra bit of playability especially since you're able to collect different DIY food recipes just like with item crafting DIY. The new catalogue of items is great as well. I haven't seen any new wallpaper/flooring options in Nook's Cranny. Though, I guess because Saharah has set up shop, it's less of an issue at the moment.

For me, the biggest highlight of the update so far is having the ability to have access to a wider variety of customization options thanks to Reese and Cyrus. Certain colour schemes I've wanted in the past for redeemable Nook Miles items is finally accessible and not exclusive to island per island at random.

I think what boils down to for me is that my island is roughly 75%-80% completed. Because of this, there isn't as much of a reason for me to play the game daily anymore. Just venting I guess. :p Still enjoying it.
 
Personally, I like major updates being distributed over time. I think the game had lots to do in the beginning and with more updates happening over the years, it enabled us as users to look forward to something fresh. I don't think the game was "unfinished" when it came out (this ain't the sims bby), they were able to give us just enough, flesh out other activities, and keep giving us more so we wouldn't get bored after too long.
 
Smug villagers were infinitely times better in NL than now. Were they weird and kind of creepy? Hell yes, but that was their charm o”:
I was one of those few that always low-key loved when Smug villagers flirted with me tbh despite always being flustered by it and never though of it as creepy or weird or anything. Instead I was like "Wait... Flirting, ROMANCE? In MY Animal crossing game?...... Sign me up :p"
I honestly miss the Smugs flirting with me in this game. I get the player character doesn't really have a gender anymore (Since it's "styles" now. >.> I hate that change honestly, makes no sense), but come on, it was still fun to see them be cheeky with the ladies! It was a nice little change of pace for how villagers acted towards ya and I kiiiinda want it back.

i genuinely think that acnh is the best ac 😭 the only things i would change are small quality of life menu things and having more dialogues but tbh the last one is probably ok i just know them from memory bc i have a lot of hours hahah
 
I like Raymond but I agree he’s definitely overhyped he’s just like another cat/smug villager and this is coming from someone who loves cats/smug villagers.
I feel like the update is too little to late. I loved new horizons when it first come out but after a year I grew really bored and stopped playing even though I’m back to playing it since the update I still don’t have that love I used to have for the game and can’t sit down and play it all day like I used too. However it’s a lot better then it was before the update
I really don’t understand why people charge ridiculous prices for villagers. Like if the villager didn’t have an Amiibo I sort of get it within reason but now that all the villagers have amiibos I just don’t understand the need to charge especially if the seller owns the villagers Amiibo. That isn’t fair to players who haven’t had the opportunity/luck to get the Amiibo of the village they like.
 
You mean gorillas?

I agree with a lot of your points, but this is quite literally the coldest take I've seen on this thread so far. 95% of AC players wouldn't dare let a Gorilla touch their uwu soft fairycore island and they're really hated by most people.
As someone with Boone on their island, I've grown a bit soft with him. Therefore, I can say that not ALL of them are bad. I still really dislike Hans though. And yes, I meant gorillas.

The reason why I don't like most of the gorillas doesn't have to do with aesthetics because I literally don't have one to begin with. And this post was a while ago, so my opinions on the gorillas have changed a little.

Yeah I agree the gorilla designs are on the weaker side save for a few like Pewee and Hans for me, I was just saying that saying gorillas are ugly is not an unpopular opinion.
 
I don't get why people go crazy over when new villagers are introduced. This is the same reaction people had when Marshal was revealed back in New Leaf and Raymond last year when New Horizons came out, now its happening again with the 8 new villagers and people are going crazy over Sasha and Shino. I really don't like when people try to pick sides of "oh if you don't have this villager then you are not cool" or "Oh you have this villager you must be so proud of yourself" I remember people behaving like this when Raymond was a thing last year and I refuse to be associated any of the popular villagers. This is the dark side of the community I always tend to see every single time.
 
I'm probably going to get maimed for this but

The islands with the less known and less popular villagers are the best ones. But hey, my opinion. Every time I'm randomly dream teleported to an island that has Raymond or Marshal on it, I actually roll my eyes.

Nothing against the villagers, don't get me wrong, but just like the Patriots in the Super Bowl, it's gets fatiguing seeing the same things over and over and over again, especially in multiple places.
Anyone who gets on you for an opinion is a weirdo I don't think they're hype is like they aren't a good villager it is just everyone has them it feels like so it can be draining I'm sure in New Leaf my sister wanted me to get him bc he apparently talked about manga? and thought it'd be cute for me to have but Peanut and Poppy are superior to Marshal (IMO) as for Raymond I do believe he is one of the better-designed cats but I really love a lot of the cats Kiki is probably my fav bc it seems like a reference to an anime studio I adore!

I feel like Ankha is also in the overrated territory but at the same time, she is REALLY unique kind of like Lucky maybe? and at the same time if they are overrated it is kind of deserved ofc unique animals will most likely be more loved! but that is just my thoughts apologies
 
i dont like ione or sasha but im glad people are happy about them!
also weeds are cute and i love them
 
At first, i really really like Sasha, but the time goes and he gets so overrated that im really tired of him. i already say this on another thread but i think i really really really really like Ace. i dont really like birds at first but i have this weird connection and wanting him on my island lol. also he looks cute but i prefer if he was a smug. 🤔

Yeah Sasha is becoming the new Raymond so I am not surprised by that. Quinn however, is like the better villager for me because she reminds me so much of both Apollo and Ameila.
