• Guest, can you feel the love in the air? Valentine's Week at The Bell Tree has begun with a new mini-event featuring four activities to enjoy -- new and returning collectibles are up for grabs! Dive in to the love here.

ACNH unpopular opinions?

-Waterfalls are incredibly bland and the sound is annoying
-The Crescent Moon chairs are also mehhh and seem to just get plopped everywhere
-The goat villagers creep me out with their tooth-shaped heads
-TTing ruined my enjoyment of the series in previous games and I don’t plan to do it NH

I swear my only negative opinions about the game are the unpopular ones! :p

I don't like it when people decorate with dropped items like star fragments.
I don't like it when people decorate with an overabundance of custom designs like someone said prior.
I think houses on the beach looks really cute and people should do it more often.
I don't mind when people sacrifice the openness of an area in order for it to look cute.
 
I loathe crafting and all the bland wooden furniture.

I feel like I'm in a hell made of wood.

I loathe the Nookphone and apps, and NM+ to the point where my enjoyment of the game is dying.
I no longer fish or hardly talk to villagers, because I don't want to hear that sound when I've earned miles so I avoid just about everything.

At the point where I'm hating the game.

The ACNH hill I'm willing to die on is my hate for cottagecore and the over use of autumn items, it just doesn't look good to me at the moment probably because it's summer here where I live and it just doesn't look organic

Aww I love cottagecore, but I'm also making a whole summer area on my island near the beach! I guess some areas will always look unnatural with the seasons

I think the reason why it looks strange to me is because I don't time travel and it's just really disorienting when I see it 🤷🏻‍♀️
 
i don’t mind isabelle’s rambling about what tv show she watched or how she talked to her parents or peeled a fruit all in one go - i skip that dialogue, though, but i’m not annoyed by it like a lot of people seem to be ;u;
 
personally:

while i understand the new villagers getting hyped, raymond isnt that special and shouldnt be "worth" hundreds of NMT (he's basically just another smug to me) and going off of that, smug is my least favorite personality

random move-ins are pretty nice, actually
so are campers deciding who gets to move

time travel isn't cheating but too much can deffo cause burn out

cherries are the best fruit and deidre deserves a lot more love!

also pietro isnt my favorite but hes not scary (not sure the ratio of pietro lovers to haters tho)


also also new horizons is actually a pretty cool game with a decent variety of items and things to do and collect

i'm same here! I wish she announced more but i find the babble cute
 
  • I love the gorillas, mice, anteaters, and hippos
  • I’m not a fan of villagers with overly human features, no matter how popular. From Barold to Raymond, Monique to Gloria. No.
  • I too cannot be bothered with fish bait
  • I don’t really bother with the wand either; it just feels weird to me?
  • Nintendo should have prioritized the animals themselves over customization this installment
  • I would prefer updates to add in new features (like diving), even ones that are just seasonal, rather than bloated events like Bunny Month or Wedding Eternity that are too specific and repetitive to feel fully integrated
  • Villager popularity is a huge influencing factor in how often people choose those villagers—everyone always says “I just pick the ones I like!” and thats totally valid (and it would be super weird of me to care whether someone prefers Marshal over Benedict the chicken), but people tend to overlook the fact that popular villagers are so publicized that most players’ “dreamies” are chosen from the pool of villagers they’ve seen frequently, not all 400+, and even if you look up a list, popularity primes your brain to have strong positive associations with certain villagers and to default to perceiving most villagers as ugly and undesirable because that’s just how online discourse is.

I have no idea what to do with the Crescent Moon chair, I just plopped it down next a star viewing area and called it done. It looks so out of place on my natural island. I cant imagine someone wanting one in real life.
 
The way some players choose to play the game reflects big problems in society, IMO. Wanting to complete the museum, catch all the fish/bugs/deep sea creatures, achieve a 5-star island, etc. to me sounds like "If I'm not making X amount of money by age Y, then I'm a failure" or "If I'm not captain of a sports team, straight-A student, do 500 hours of community service, then I'm doing something wrong" that I see and hear a lot among peers. :/ I'm in support of people playing the game and living their life as they want, but I think it's also important to consider playing/living sustainability and, life is a marathon -- not a sprint, -- and everyone is on their own unique journey in the game and in real life.
 
Here are mine:

- Raymond is ugly... There I said it.
- I also really don't like Judy's design all that much.
- Alfonso is baby and the best alligator.
- I think ACNH is the best game so far, but definitely has room for improvement.
- I don't mind the NPC rotation. At least we are getting them.
- I don't care for fish bait. I literally only craft it for trading.
 
Okay, this is my biggest unpopular opinion about ACNH, which I personally haven't heard before: it's way too bright! Unless you're playing on a rainy or foggy day, or maybe in autumn or winter, everything is just. So. Damn. Bright. It throws off the kind of colour schemes and vibes I want to go for with this almost neon reflectiveness from the sun. The colour scheme make a tropical island look great, but for anything more nuanced I'm urged to put a filter on any picture. I think it's also more apparent because it's a bit more "realistic" (if you can even say that about an AC game) than earlier games. Remember how the grass had more detailed patterning, in different shapes? How the stones on the ground and the clouds in the sky looked? The waves in the water? New Leaf already went a bit in this direction, but now the texture is gone a bit, so the bright colours pop even more. It almost makes it look cartoony or uncanny valley when I look at it too much. I'm used to it now and don't notice it much when actually playing, but once I try to make something fit the feeling, the atmosphere that I want the colours make it very difficult! I honestly wish we could through a light filter over our entire island, or make it overcast on most days.
 
  • The clothing variants are a huge disappointment. Whenever I see something in the window display which I like the shape of, I don't get excited anymore because there's an almost certain chance that it comes in a lot of cute bright colors but not black. The lack of black clothes kind of ruins the fun of dressing up my character.
  • Zipper is the best NPC so far.
  • I liked the wedding event. While the picture-taking itself got old pretty quickly, the items (especially the chic variant) are gorgeous and I'm happy that we had the chance to get multiple.
 
•I liked the wedding event

•Imo, TT can be cheating if you use it to make 25253663653 bells or travel back and forth to Celeste or something. But people get so hung up on the word “cheating” like it’s inherently bad. Yes it’s technically cheating, but it really doesn’t matter in the same way that hacking a million bucks in the Sims doesn’t matter.

•I’m not running out of things to do, nor does the update schedule upset me. I like it tbh.

•I’ve never seen people get harassed for TTing. Honestly in most discords, it’s more normal to TT than to play day-by-day. I’m not saying that it doesn’t happen, but in all the ACNH places I’ve been, people will get mad if you say it’s cheating or something.

•Isabelle isn’t annoying or worthless, she has pretty much the same duties as the pelicans.

•As much as I want more villager personality, I value the look, the customization options, and the ability to decorate more.

•It’s really not hard at all to get a 5 star island if you have a lot of furniture. I’m disappointed it’s so easy
