ACNH unpopular opinions?

I feel like Brewster wasn’t really needed in New Horizons. I’m still happy that Nintendo added him, but I never understood why everyone wanted Brewster in the next update. Even if Nintendo did release something good in an update, people would still be screaming “WE NEED BREWSTER”. Besides, New Horizons gave us the ability to place furniture outside, so people could just build their own coffee shop.

Cooking is so pointless in this game. What is the point of giving villagers food items if they are not going to eat them?

Brewster was one of my favorites from earlier games, so I was very happy to see him added. (In fact it inspired me to reset my island and start over when I basically hadn't touched my old one for a year.) When the Roost theme music starts playing it just immediately lowers my blood pressure by about 10 points.
I tend to agree, once I got my basic crops planted and did some recipes, it was like..... ehhh..... the native fruit is still your best value (and less hassle) if you need to power up to dig some trees or destroy some rocks. It does have some value if you're trying to earn a lot of bells especially if a pricy recipe is a hot item. Like, the Tomato Curry is the hot item at my shop today so I'll definitely sell a handful of those for 5040 bells each. But, overall, not a super compelling addition for me.
My unpopular opinion? Gyroids are pointless. So then, ironic for me that they were introduced at the same time Brewster was.

yeah
I really miss the days in New Leaf where they'd eat the whole fruit right in front of you after you gifted it to them.. Now they just put it in their pockets.
It would have been great to see villagers enjoy the meals we cooked for them!
For me, I liked the concept of the roost. I thought it was a relaxing feature and I liked the soundtrack. I wish K.K. Slider played at the roost instead. He just gets in the way when he’s sitting in front of Resident Services.
Anyway, I think no matter what Nintendo adds, people will always have something negative to say. It’s okay to be upset but Nintendo really can’t please everyone. They’d have to make hundreds of copies catering to each person’s needs. It’s impossible. I see people upset that “Nintendo doesn’t listen at all to what we want” but I think this update was great. It gives us more to do in this game and it’s better to look at the positives. We should focus on what we do have over what we don’t.

No clue if this is unpopular or not, I'm nearly done reading through this thread and this is something I have thought about often
The ability to share your island via pictures and videos has made the game feel way more... Vain and less fun. When I first got the game, I despised it because all I ever saw was super put together, complete islands with a ton of cool things going on just a few days into release. I felt like I would never be able to achieve even a small amount of how put together the islands were.
I'm replaying the game now that it's "less popular" and a lot of covid restrictions are gone, so it's not a constant thing I'm seeing (even in dedicated acnh groups) and it's way more enjoyable now.
What got me thinking about this was I saw someone on FB talking about how they hate it when people upload their unfinished islands and they get sent to them in a dream because they see it as a waste of time. I personally enjoy unfinished islands, especially when you know they have an idea in mind and are working towards it. Makes the game feel more like other ac games where it wasn't a competition to have the "best" island.
Other unpopular opinion: idc if your town has the most popular villagers, most unpopular villagers, etc. They all have such bland dialogue that you might as well go with which set of pixels looks more appealing to you. My dreamies list is a mix of villagers like Sasha and Jambette.
Adding: I love winter in the game. I love the snow on the ground. I'm over the snow irl, but I adore how pretty everything looks in the game

Alrighty, here we go.
I really don't like Isabelle, and I don't like the fact she's become the face of the franchise. There's something about her that really winds me up. I really didn't like her in New Leaf and the fact that placing PWPs was such a hassle. I get she's a fan favorite, but there are other characters that they could have used instead of making her.
It annoys me that they put so much into designing NPCs for them never to be seen again, Pelly and Phyllis? Pete and Gracie? I get that only so many can fit into a game, and there's only so much they can do, but don't just leave them out.
Gulliver is an incompetent pain in the backside, his crew probably chucked him off cause he was annoying, and don't want him back. The amnesiac sailor spiel was cute for the first few games, but there's only so much patience I can have for him.
I also don't get the hype for villagers, especially not in ACNH, since all the personalities are pretty much the same. I had the same conversations with Stitches as I have had with Clay.
The new NPCs replacing the old (Daisy Mae for Joan, Flick for Nate) are IMO, better than their predecessors, apart from CJ, he's annoying.

I feel like there should've been a grading system to Happy Home Paradise because it almost feels "Too easy" just to complete a villager's home. You can easily rush through the DLC just by putting the items in the home that the villager wants and you tell them that you're done. They do say you finished fast but they don't seem to care that you did little job to the home.

exactly, i was one of those people who were like we need brewster but honestly we don’t. i came to realize that he’s basically useless, sometimes i forget about him. we don’t have the cafe mini game in new horizons so there’s kind of no point in having him.

very true, its like whats the merit???
List of Unpopular Animal Crossing Opinions: (Please Don’t Attack Me)
1. I am attached to the unpopular villagers rather than the popular ones.
2. I am not fond of popular villagers because these TikToks on YouTube I watched just made me mad. They just hate a virtual lazy bear cub and obsess over some virtual office cat.
3. I despise bullying my villagers because that is just mean. Give them some love guys!
4. I wish I can work at Brewster’s on New Horizons.
5. I wish I could SING in New Horizons.
6. My least favorite villagers from the 2.0 update: Sasha, Shino, and Ione.
7. Speaking of Sasha, there are plenty of lazy rabbits in this game. Personally, my favorite lazy rabbit villager is Claude.
8. My favorite villagers from the 2.0 update: Quinn, Zoe, and Petri.
9. Anteaters are cute.
10. Megan is criminally underrated.
11. I loved T-Bone in my New Leaf play through. I loved how he would say “Wa-woo!” (I wished I made it his catchphrase.)
12. Cousteau is a great frog villager. One of my personal favorites.
13. Limberg isn’t that bad. I do appreciate his fall-themed house in New Horizons.
14. Based on playing New Horizons everyday back then, the villagers have repeated quotes. This is pretty lame in the game.
15. The Superhero themed villagers need more love. Ex: Agent S, Rocket, etc.
16. Imperial KK is legendary.
17. FINALLY: My final unpopular opinion of the day: Freya is a super underrated villager. One of my most favorite villagers from New Leaf.

I like Rocket.
More seriously (but what I said is true) I'm going to talk about notation of this game. Before 2.0, I could give the game a 13/20 because too many things were missing. Brewster, quality of life update, stuff, actually I judge I could do just a few things in the game, mainly decorating. But after the big update few months ago, I can now give the game a good 17/20. The three points missing are because of poor dialogues, quality of life non-existent, the events I don't find fun at all (all the time the same principle and looong dialogues, especially for Festivale and tourneys). Even fishing tourney is not fun. Before, in old games, we had to catch the biggest fish. Now, we have three minutes to catch fishs. Not really interesting, but items are nice. Sometimes, the game looks empty. It losts its soul. But it's just my opinion.
I love the dlc. I don't really know how it works because I've never tried it, but I remember of HHD and had incredible souvenirs. Can't wait to try it and make my villagers and others cute places to stay! (and discover all the new stuff)

Taking a break :3
This is probably not an unpopular opinion, but the hourly music is not it. I really don't vibe with it. I think I can only really tolerate the super early music at like 5AM XD
I almost always listen to my own music and have the volume turned down. I can always enjoy the late night/very early morning music, though — between 2:00 AM and 6:00 AM.

There are no such thing as "overrated" villagers, but there are such thing as underrated villagers! But no villager is "overrated" imo because every villager is cute and special in their own ways, and each one means a lot to at least one person. If some villagers mean a lot to more people, then that's okay! ♡
