ACNH unpopular opinions?

[bam94-]

I find it strange that people say ACWW and the other much older games have more to do,,

Me too! I loved Wild World, and New Leaf, but I just love Animal Crossing in general. There was lots to do in NL, but there’s so much to do in New Horizons too. I found myself getting bored and running out of things to do in every past AC game, because that’s just the nature of the games; they’re not meant to be played hours at a time. Just my opinion though and I totally get people wanting more things to do. I just didn’t find the additional shops, or Club LOL, or Tortimer’s Island really made my gameplay any longer than it is in NH.

• I hate the crafting. I wish it would burn and die in hell. It doesn’t belong in an AC game.
• Daisy-Mai is gross. Her snot drop is disgusting and I purposely avoid playing on Sunday mornings so I don’t have to see it wiggle as she walks around.
• Time Travel is down to each persons preference, but isn’t wrong. It bugs me that Nintendo tried to put a stop to it by locking away events.
• The updates are utter **** and it irritates me that others say “just be grateful we’re getting updates!” as though I didn’t spend a huge amount of money on a half finished game. No, I’m not grateful. I’ve paid Nintendo, they should do their damn jobs.

For me it’s not that there’s not much to do verses that the game just doesn’t punish you for playing it.
I could spend literally hours fishing, catching bugs, playing mini games with my villagers, rearranging flowers in Wild World.
In NH your tools break constantly, mini games are all but absent and the villagers are as interesting as a stone. Like what’s the point. Playing NHs for more than 15mins just becomes frustrating and a chore.

- calling having a theme a "core" is dumb (kidcore is just a kids theme, cottagecore is just a forest theme with a focus on cottages etc) and it locks people in to dumb limiting styles and "rules".
- Marshall is overrated
- Flowers not dying is boring
- being able to terraform takes away the aspect of adapting to circumstance that this game series excelled at. Same with not having villagers leave.
- I miss having to pay for changing my hair. It made it special.
- I got more out of 400 hours new leaf than 900 hours new horizons. No not progress or gameplay, a mental reprieve from life, a feeling of a second home that didnt change all the time where i wasnt in control but i didnt need to be.

Not sure if this is really unpopular, but I don’t think they need to add any more “reactions” to the game. They have been added in the past few updates, and I think they should focus on areas within the game than that.

I don't know if these are unpopular or not but:

- People who complain about 'spoilers' when new items are released are kind of selfish. Its only a 'spoiler' to them when they haven't seen it, but once they do they don't care that others haven't seen it either.

- This game will end up being the best AC game in the series when the updates are finished and as understandable as the complaints are, I also wish long-time fans would give it a chance. But with that said...

- This game needs a waay more content than it was released with(I know this opinion isn't unpopular, I'm just saying).

• Pudge is underrated! I mean, he controls the weather, for goodness sake...

• The aesthetic/graphics of the first Animal Crossing are still the best

This is so true but also, in my unpopular opinion: I don't understand why it can be considered a spoiler to see the new items before discovering them in game. I could probably miss a lot of seasonal stuff if I didn't check it beforehand and that would make me more upset than, you know, knowing they're there beforehand

Unpopular opinion... I think it’s strange to complain about “lack of content” in a game that, according to another thread happening right now, lots of people have already played for 1500 to 2000 hours or more. To put it in perspective, 2000 hours is the equivalent of almost 84 SOLID 24 HOUR DAYS of doing nothing but playing ACNH!

TBH I don't really feel like ACNH relies that much more heavily on trading than other games did, just that in this pandemic, it's more noticeable since you can't just meet up with people IRL. Back in the WW days, I remember hanging out with a friend, going through each others' catalogs and writing down the things we each wanted from the other so we could order them for each other.

Sure, if you want to complete and collect everything, you'll most definitely have to play online (and pay up for it nowadays, although even the individual plan for NSO isn't that expensive), but I don't get the feeling most people, who play the game for, like, three months and then maybe in short spurts now and again, play that way. Heck, one thing I like about the trailers is it feels like the trailer islands are progressing at the rate most normal players play at, so they're just now starting to really develop, rather than being a perfect, fully decorated island someone made in a few months of obsessive play.

I love the music. It's like wild world but island-y

 

[Mu~]

Why are Isabelle and Digby so cute while the dog villagers look so meh in comparison?

 

[JKDOS]

The exterior of the current museum expansion looks ugly compared to the smaller initial museum.

The events kinda suck— Halloween was the worst.

- I do not like Rolf's design and I really, really REALLY, dislike him
- I LOVE the 3AM music in NH
- Marshal is kinda boring and over-hyped
- Velma is VERY under-rated
- Sea bass are NOT the #1 worst fish. They are #2, and horse mackerel is #1
- I am happy gyroids are not a thing (though I would be okay if they became a thing in a future update if we didn't have to dig them up)

Bob is ugly.
I dont get how people think he's cute when he's just so far from it. He has a face you just want to punch.

I dislike any island that has "the path" or follows a "core". Im all for taking inspiration but sometimes it goes a little (a lot) bit beyond that.

 

[xhyloh]

not sure if this is unpopular but i really can't stand the normal villagers in this game. with every villager being so nice to you already, it really just makes it seem like they have no personality at all

 

[meo]

I’m not that into Isabelle; she’s always felt lacking in character to me. I wouldn’t have really minded if she wasn’t patched in since NH hasn’t really done her any favors so far.

 

[t3llusagi]

Cyd is the best new villager
over cluttered islands are ugly
most cottage core islands are not that cute
You can't spoil anything in this game
People care way too much what others are doing in this game, me time traveling doesn't have anything to do with anybody else
the update system is trash, please me the full game upfront

 

[magicalgrrrlz]

Unconventional looking villagers are the cutest (Canberra, barold..) i think them being "different makes me like them more.

I never understood why people want cluttered islands, I know they look nice but then the frame rate drops when you walk around.

Snooty villagers feel more "sisterly" than sisterly villagers

Flick is just "goth lizard" and nothing else, CJ has more personality
