Animal Crossing: New Horizon is not a console game!

[X0XGabbyX0X]

It’s kinda premature to start discussing what can be done better when most of us haven’t even played the game. There definitely will be a time to discuss that, every game has something that we wish could be improved on but it’s more logical to wait until we have actually tested and tried it before rushing to a decision. I think at the end of the day developers would appreciate that type of meaningful feedback and constructive criticism, you can see that ACNH did take into account many of those criticism from past games such as deciding where to place villagers homes etc.
This thread is not meaningful feedback. It’s just venting and panic.

That is true, but the specifics as to what the OP is discussing are things that have been confirmed. Besides villager dialogue, I think it's fair that they can discuss both villager limit & map size. Although I disagree with their claims, they still have every right to discuss their thoughts and opinions on them, even if it's something that was not yet confirmed.

This so much of this...Play the game yourself and you can give constructive feedback that can be useful for Nintendo...going off the rails due to "datamining" Good or bad its will always be Nintendo call in what goes into a game...and what does not return. Judge it if you put hours into it.

Regardless if you perceive this and other threads as meaningful feedback it is not okay to be rude to someone because their opinion. is “negative” whether they have played the game yet or not. This is not Nintendo’s feedback thread. This is a forum where people are meant to speak their mind about the things they love. People who want to vent about something should be allowed to if they do so please.

Agreed.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. This forum should be a welcoming place where everyone can post what they think without getting attacked. There is a lot of information going around right now and it can be very overwhelming. Some people come to this forum looking for a safe place where they can discuss their thoughts, and it can be very hurtful when they automatically get belittled. Please be courteous to everyone and their feelings!

People are certainly entitled to vent about disappointments, sure. But what I believe the OP did with the title of this thread was make a blanket statement which surely received much backlash. (The OP has since stated that perhaps the title was a mistake/not the best way to convey his/her thoughts) Anyways, all that aside, I just keep seeing how they wished there could be more villagers because they get lonely. The root of this person's frustrations and motivation for their post stems from loneliness, and I am sorry that they feel that way. Now I could be all wrong, but perhaps in these times compassion rather than reaction is the way to go

 

[X0XGabbyX0X]

I don't want the game to feel empty and lonely.

I'm sure that with how much the villagers have improved, you won't feel lonely.

Hmm... so somehow op being disappointed about a few things they personally wish were possible in this game (which they have stated have been wishes of theirs for years) is an affront to the community who has waited 8 years? Perhaps op has also waited 8 years : )

14 years to be exact. While I enjoy both WW and NL, I would always prefer to play on a big screen TV. Never play CL since never own the Wii or Wii U.

Why not? Its 2020...have you seen what games like No Man's Sky have done with updates? They've completely changed the game.

What makes you adamant that this is not possible at all?

Nintendo is clearly adapting to player feedback, based on the "no cloud saves at all" to "we are evaluating a cloud save solution and will implement this year".

Because No Man Sky developers had to save their reputation and No Man Sky is there first major title. Also because Nintendo has never done this. I'm not saying it impossible, but I wouldn't count on it. Also where can I go to give them my feedback?

To be fair, Nintendo does seem to be listening.

1. Villagers no longer move in chaotically ruining our guardens, or taking spots we had reserves

2. With amiibos, we can now get our favorite villagers in our town, and at the same time, if full, kick out a villager we dislike.

3. Buildings and houses can be moved. We don't have to reset to get a good placement, or a new placement.

4. We can terraform. We no longer need to hack or get Homebrew just to edit the map the way we want it

5. We can now change our skin, eyes, and hair on demand. We no longer need to do asinine quizzes to get the right hair and eyes. We no longer need to reset to get new eyes.

6. We can place furniture outside. Something we've asked for since day 1.

7. We can break rocks. Something we've wanted forever

8. We can now make real paths.

9. We can now have an extended number of patterns.

10. 8 players online

11. Much much more

This is very true! Nintendo did a very good job listening to us players with the new AC. Although you may be wanting more villagers & a larger map, it seems that other features were more prioritized by both players and Nintendo. Maybe in the next installment they will in fact expand the map and the villager count.

I just remembered, they've also changed their stance on cloud backups, and are now looking into a compromise that will suite our needs.

While Nintendo may not have done anything like people are proposing before there’s always a possibility things could change. It may not come in this era but there’s still hope for the future! I don’t know if you have heard of Splatoon but the same team that works on that game works on Animal Crossing and Splatoon has experienced many major updates since its release. Who knows what the ac team has planned for this entry.

Don’t forget the Welcome Amiibo update. The update introduced a lot of awesome things to New Leaf and after Nintendo heard about players frustration of villagers moving into cumbersome areas Nintendo listened and introduced a mechanic that would prevent villagers from moving onto pathways people laid out.

All to say, I hope that one day players will have the ability to choose how many villagers can move into their villages to make more people happy!

I'll definitely have to see for myself once I get access to the game! Most of us haven't had a "feel" for the game yet as we haven't actually played it, but have only seen photos and vague gameplay videos

Yes you are 100% correct and it something I been wanting since WW. I got NL knowing it won't have that # of villagers but I was okay with that since it was only a handheld and it increase villagers population form 8 to 10. So for NH not to increase villagers population is very disappointing and my dream island layout cannot be complete as a result of too few villagers.

I'm sure that with how much the villagers have improved, you won't feel lonely.

In every handheld AC game, I had to place villagers house in every corner and area of the map so I wouldn't have to go far without seeing an animal house/villagers. But I always wanted to have a whole neighborhood of animals right next to each other.

My dream villagers # would be between 16 to 20 as I could set up my perfect map layout without feeling lonely. For example have 8 to 10 house next to or near one another and call it the "urban area", while the other 8 to 10 houses will be spread far apart which I call the "countryside" so I get my own neighborhood aka "urban" while I can still roam the entire map with houses and animals litter all across the map.

I hope that make sense. My English isn't the best.

That's actually a really good idea! And, don't worry, your English is great.

If you notice all those change have to do with quality of life. The only unique change is the 8 players online but that has nothing to do with the single player portion. None of those trend show an "increase" in anything. That why I say it highly unlikely for Nintendo to increase map or villagers size.

I honestly miss the cranky's and snooty's comments so much. Fingers crossed we get some spicy dialogue in ACNH!

I want all of these so badly! We won't be getting it, Game Explain answered my question and they said they didn't see any after 80 hours of gameplay.

And more than 10 villagers isn't quality of life?

I would be really happy if I was wrong. Honestly all of these things could be fix if modding exist on the Switch.
