Animal Crossing: New Horizon is not a console game!

[thelonewanderer]

To each their own.

Thank you instead of some members attacking me or telling me to buy a different game. I guess everyone has different reason why they are buying this game. Most people who buy this game are not sad so it just like any other game for them meanwhile people like myself buy this game to distract ourself from the mismanagement of reality.

maybe we shouldn't feed the troll...

Idk why they're so upset about nh not being enough like pg/gc but too similar to new leaf when it sound like they've only played new leaf

It's because you're spreading rumors as fact and arguing with people for the crime of thinking differently.

We can't compare NH to the GC version

m8... isn't that what you started this thread for?

 

[shendere]

I guess it great if you have a big family or lot of friends because those people are already rich in their lives as is. Further just prove the rich get richer.

I'm sorry, I'm a bit clueless and don't want to misunderstand you here. But, what did you mean by this?

you said you don't like new horizons but you like the gamecube game





so yeah... play the gc game

pretty simple solution

I think the developers chose the map size for performance reasons. Yes, the GameCube map may appear larger, but that's because everything was split into small acres, low texture detail, little to no clutter around, and, probably the biggest of all, the world was static (trees don't move). In New Horizons, every leaf/fruit moves independently. And that's in addition to the gorgeous textures and 3D models, clutter, and so on. AND of course, all of the furniture we'd have laid out around our town at varying levels. So, to me, that's console quality.

With that said, I do hope we one day get a world that feels as large and immersive as the Mario Kart 8 track or the anime. I personally think that'll be the direction the next game takes. With that said, New Horizons is still making huge strides.

Edit: Completely forgot to mention furniture outside, lol.

The people who I talked to were all hoping it would be like Mario Kart 8 track because the Switch is certainly powerful enough. I had more realistic expectation since well we are talking about Nintendo here. I just want a big map size with lot of animal villagers so the place feel active and alive instead of feeling empty. The graphic in NH is absolutely fine to me but even those who didn't want the same amount of animal villagers as me still thought we were getting 12 villagers.

Grant I been disappointed with every Switch game I purchase to date compare to their GC counterparts so I guess this is more of the same. I'm not saying that the GC version is better than NH because it is not especially with all the quality of life improvement this game has. I don't think I'm asking for a lot here. Literally just asking for the three things that is in the original game.

they mean they're mad the world doesn't revolve around them and they think every game they're interested in should be developed specifically for them

We didn't all get what we wanted but we have yet to try the game as is to see if it's still enjoyable for ourselves. If we don't try, we'll never know. We can't just go off of what people assume or say. You also have to keep in mind, you and your friends set those expectations up yourself, if Nintendo didn't meet them, it's not their fault or problem. It's like if i expected them to add 6 new cat Villagers but they didn't, there's no reason to be mad or upset, i set up that expectation and disappointment for myself. I'm sure if I give the game a try myself, I'll actually like what it offers. In NL, the villagers barely did much, it seems in this they really spread around a lot and it might be very busy and bustling. Give it a try first, then share your thoughts. That's fair, especially to the people who worked to make it.

don't buy them then? modern games aren't for everyone and I get that for certain genres... idk why you need to complain about nh if you already knew it wouldn't make you happy?

I'm not sure if you're being serious or you're just a troll. We will be getting most of the missing content as well as additional content post-release. It may even be added in tonight's update if my suspicions are correct. If you don't believe me, just look at Splatoon 2. It got tons of negativity during launch for less content than its predecessor and look at it now. This is the same dev team, there's no reason to think they wouldn't give this game the same love they gave Splatoon 2.

You continue to be rude. I'm hoping you are not an adult with that attitude. It such a simple solution because getting a working gamecube is so easy much less finding all the cables require or...you know the fact that those cables don't work with modern TV. No I guess you didn't thought about all that before you went on to tell people what to do with their money huh?

Not to mention, no where did I say I didn't like New Horizon. I said New Horizon is not a fully feature console game because its missing feature from the original console game. I have the right to express my disappointment especially as a long time AC fans and probably even longer than yourself.

It like telling Pokemon fans to get over themselves because Sword and Shield has to much cut content!

 

[Cranky Squirrel]

I'm amazed at the number of complaint threads that have started since the publication of reviews. 92% favorable rating average on Open Critic, with a 100% recommendation score--yet so many AC fans who haven't played the game yet are anxious and setting themselves up to be disappointed. By all means, voice your opinions, but be aware that there are many of us just watching and scratching our heads wondering what in the world you're talking about. The reviews have all been raves, but there seems to be so many people reacting as if Nintendo gave us nothing more than a lazy port of a game that wasn't very good in the first place.

As a person that has actually played the GC version, I can tell you that just by looking at NH it's 100% a console worthy game. Animal Crossing through the years has repeatedly added and removed several things so this is nothing new.

 

[DrewAC]

We can't compare NH to the GC version because the Switch is newer and more powerful. What I can say when it comes to game development and this applies to all games with multiplayer aspect is that any amount of development for multiplayer is time and development not use for single-player. However in this game with the # of animal villagers, the single portion is being replace by multiplayer. I guess it great if you have a big family or lot of friends because those people are already rich in their lives as is. Further just prove the rich get richer.

We can compare them, even in a positive viewpoint, just as you compared them to make your negative viewpoint regarding map size.

Sheer size of the map isn't important to me. What's important is whether or not I feel immersed in the world, and with the HD textures/models, advanced shading, physics, dynamic tree/leaf animations, and more clutter (including furniture placement), it definitely accomplishes that.

 

[tajikey]

Jeez. Round and around we go. New Horizons is whatever the individual makes it. For me, it's a console game.

I'm not a troll, I been here for 4 years hence my note at the beginning of my post. I even played New Leaf with a few members on here and sold several villagers as well.

I'm not talking about content, I'm talking about map size and animal villagers size. Those things will never be in any update. There is no update where the patch read "increase animal villagers numbers" or "increase map size". It simply won't happen.

I don't wanna get burnt again like what happened to Pokemon

 

[shendere]

Honestly, I hope you enjoy the game when you get it. Maybe when you play, it'll kill all your doubts and you'll find the peace and enjoyment you want. I get you're upset everyone has their own opinions, and everyone words it differently. If things are getting too rough, just try closing the thread.

Nintendo Switch is a console with handheld capabilities. That alone makes Animal Crossing New Horizons a console game by definition. Despite how silly I think your opinion is, you're entitled to it so to each their own.
