ACNH unpopular opinions?

[WaileaNoRei]

Now that I weighed in on wolves I guess I will answer the question properly.

1. I think I’d rather have an ugly villager than one who is boring to me.
2. I have no strong feelings about Raymond, Sherb, or Audie. They are cute enough, and it great that people like them so much, for me they are more like in my personal b tier. A
3. I really like anticipating future updates
4. I don’t think the game feels incomplete and I have not gotten bored of playing.

I don’t know if any of those are truly unpopular opinions.

I agree that people hating in Raymond are often worse than those who are obsessed. Why do you want to devote so much of your energy into hating on a character? (This is not aimed at you people who are just commenting here that they don’t get the hype or don’t like him, since that’s an appropriate response to the question.) Isn’t it more fun to love the characters you love and find people who also love them?

Another opinion I have is that I don't get why a lot of players online hate when people pick villager favorites based on looks when it's the only thing that differentiates against different villagers of the same type. Even if you pick only unpopular or ugly villagers, you're still selecting based on looks (or nostalgia I guess).

I want to like them but animals with little bangs that are only on the front half of their heads bother me. They just have no hair at all on the backs of their heads and it bugs me.

Fuchsia, Tammy, Charlise... all of them I used to want on my island really bad but now I have Fuchsia and I can't stand it.

There are way more animals that I'm not remembering right now who have this bang situation going on.​

I have thought of more, haha:
- Agreeing with everyone saying that Raymond and Marshall hate is more annoying than obsessing.
- The easter event was fun even though it went on too long.
- I don't like the mermaid set, and really hope they don't keep adding "cutesy" items. So far there is a lot of kiddie and "kawaii" things, and while I get it's a children's game I hope they add more sophisticated sets like the other games had.

I feel like the “Raymond bad” vs “stop saying Raymond bad” war has gone on too long. If ya like him, fine; if ya don’t like him, fine. We don’t need 500 threads saying “x villager is miles above Raymond in style.”

I feel the opposite! I'd actually prefer the backs of villager's heads to not have hair, in many cases. Have you seen the back of Caroline's head? I have her on my island, and I have to get used to the spider web of bright blonde hair against the bright orange back of her head. Very odd.

I used to have Midge and the back of her head was worse...

People get way more worked up at Isabelle's dialogue then they should. Most of the time it’s like 2-3 text boxes, sometimes it’s just “no news today happy Monday!”

plus you can talk to villagers to find out who’s visiting that days if it’s too difficult to scan the plaza/beach

True true. And I mean, if an ugly villager grows on you, you’ve come to like how they look. Maybe you appreciate their look rather than considering them beautiful, but same thing, really.

Do a lot of people really hate people for liking villagers for their looks?

Isabelle’s dialogue isn’t even a big deal. Most of the time it’s like 2-3 text boxes, sometimes it’s just “no news today happy Monday!”

On that same note: once you’ve gotten past all the public works projects NL Isabelle is just as useless as NH Isabelle (possibly even more annoying as you have to see her every time you boot up the game rather than the first time). This is coming from someone who likes Isabelle as a character.

We can't have an unpopular opinion thread without Raymond, it's pretty much impossible

I've seen on Reddit where people will say that they don't like popular villagers and don't like how people who choose dreamie lineups based on appearance

-Raymond is the greatest gift ever bestowed upon humanity by the gods.He is the alpha and the omega.He is the eighth wonder of the world.He is a large box of Extra Toasty Cheez-Its with a six pack of cold brew....oh,wait.Did I say Raymond?I meant Joey.......

-Some islands just have too much stuff on them.

-I would like a complete game right out of the box rather than having to be baby-fed updates every few months.

-K.K. Slider has a limited vocal range and only knows four chords.

If New Horizons is your first game, you don't have anything else to base your judgment on other than other people's opinions and social media.

I think people who have trouble deciding between two villagers for anything should just leave it to rng. Let the first villager that ask to leave or take the first one you find.

The islands that have a custom design, path, or flowers on every single tile drive me crazy. There's too much happening and its like they don't like the idea of having empty space. In my opinion it makes the island unplayable and the frame drops must be crazy

I agree, especially since adding custom paths on top of existing paths mutes the sound of you walking on it. There's nothing more satisfying in this game than walking over a real stone path and hearing the click clack of your shoes against it.

In general I think players should try to be more patient with a lot of aspects of the game.

 

[Your Local Wild Child]

I think some aspects needed to be patched out (the crazy tarantula spawn rates come to mind)

 

[craftyshack]

I feel like this is a really unpopular opinion haha since I think most people do it XD But I don't like decorating things outside with indoor items. I think it looks really tacky, and things end up looking very cluttered. But I understand that there isn't really anywhere else to put a restaurant or jewelry shop otherwise.

ACNH is a good game, but it was released incomplete and needed to be in development longer.

i mean this in the sense of: yes there will be updates and content added, but there are very basic playing functions of this game that ought to have been streamlined and created/fixed before release. these things include
- amiibo adoptions causing glitches for SO LONG (no excuse for this. acnh is a $60 game and amiibos cost additional money. did they not beta test this at all?)
- the unaccountable amount of small glitches (for duping, for jumping out of bounds, items not loading on display, moving out , diy-ing when supposed to be moving out, learned recipes disappearing, cataloging errors, etc, etc.)
- inability to purchase multiple items at any store (i cannot think of another game that touts its character design as much, but makes it as HARD as ACNH does, to actually purchase clothing)
- NPC visitor rate (we've recently seen an update to this and i argue it should have been like this from the get go bc this has been feedback from day 1. again, beta testers and advance copy players?)
- lack of furniture (in a PAID game that is entirely based around furniture and design, for this game to have so little items in comparison to a free game like pocket camp or even new leaf, is really just lazy and not good game sense)
- over dependance on RNG and no way to combat this in the game/increase chances of finding items you are looking for aside from a PAID online nintendo account aka moneygrab. (this creates such a frustrating atmosphere for a game/players. ex. cherry blossom DIYs and ballon RNG)

the tendency of gaming companies to push releases of games that haven't been adequately beta tested or function-completed into sale is really mindnumbing. games can have updates, but out of the box, the game should stand and work well and fulfilled on its own. i think it's a crutch to fall back on updates.

bottom line: acnh is rather simple game that is fun bc of that simplicity. but also bc of that simplicity, the game needs to do what it does well, without glitches and with attention to quality of life gameplay.

-Some islands just have too much stuff on them.

This. I used to go on a bunch of island tours, but maneuvering through half of those islands were a chore.

Didn't they nerf the tarantula/scorpion spawn rate a few patches ago? I honestly haven't seen a scorpion in a week and I've played after midnight more times than I can count? Maybe I'm just unlucky.

It was like 3 months ago now. The thing is that the rates we saw in the first month were WAY off of what it was like in other games. Now it’s more like the previous games.
