Anyone Else Concerned by these Features?

[bcmii]

EDIT: forget this thread. It was more geared toward TTers. I went 3 weeks in and I'm still concerned, only time will tell.

We waited 8 whole years for this game, and the fact of thse things, is extremely disapointing to me:

~ Terrible Villager Dialogue
~ The feeling of "lacking" content in the game
~ no gracie, and potentially most furniture series/sets bein cut
~ those unnecessarily expensive Nook Miles tickets


I want to like the game, I really do, but it's drawng too much from Pocket Camp and I'm really concerned I won't be able to like it enough!

Yup. So many things were downgraded/watered down from New Leaf. So disappointing. I could go off.

So far, here are the characters who have been confirmed to be cut (via datamining):

There's no:

Brewster
Leif
Luna
Pelly
Phyllis
Harriet
Shrunk
Gracie
Kapp'n (and his family)
Katrina
Digby
Lottie
Wendell
Pascal
Lyle
Copper
Booker
Katie
Rover
Tortimer
Redd
Pete
Cyrus
Reese

Note: I didn't even bother listing the characters who were flat out replaced with new characters, such as Chip and Porter.

Here are the features that have been cut/downgraded from New Leaf:

Gyroids

The cafe

Dream Suite (or at least a method of visiting/seeing random people's towns)

Post Office

Police Station

Salon

Club lol

Fortune Telling Booth

Shoe Store (Kicks only visits; he is never given his own store)

Gracie Grace

Accessory Section of Able Sisters (Label also only visits)

An equivalent to Club Tortimer

Pitfalls (Not 100% sure, there's been rumors that they are craftable)

Being able to access your storage when in someone else's town (In New Leaf, you had the lockers at the train station. This game...NOTHING)

Bushes

Banana Trees

Redd's Paintings

Diving and Swimming

Home exterior customization (more than just the roof color; in New Leaf, there were different exterior themes and styles you could choose from)

Minigames like the ones on the Island in NL

Museum gift shop/observatory/personal rooms. Celeste's role has been relegated to an insignificant one-time character. Don't even get me started on how poorly designed the magic wand feature is...Nintendo took something that should've been simple and straight forward and made it complicated. Used it once, then put it away to never touch it again.

Unbreakable tools. Apparently even gold tools break in New Horizons.

A dedicated re-sale shop like ReTail (this one is not that big of a deal in my opinion).

And other things I can't think of right now...

Overall very lackluster and disappointing for an Animal Crossing game. I guess we were wrong for thinking that game was supposed to be an upgrade to New Leaf (it is in many aspects, but there are far too many things that were downgraded/completely cut). Nintendo really did us dirty with this one. Don't get me wrong, I like the game a LOT, it's just that I wouldn't recommend it as a newcomer's first game. I feel like it would give someone a wrong impression of the wonderful things the Animal Crossing Franchise has to offer. I'm hoping that stuff will be added/improved via the updates, but who knows what they will actually do (so far, it looks promising, though. After the day 1 update, lines have been added into the games files referring to the cafe and gyroids....they might be added in a future update!!!) It just seems unlike Nintendo to deliver what feels like an unfinished product...I especially would've never expected them to do us like that on an Animal Crossing game!

I'm not sure about all the villager dialogue complaints, wasn't NL supposed to have robotic dialogue everyone wanted changed?
In comparison NH has more situational dialogue and comments on many items, outfits and actions. I guess the villagers don't like talking much in the first days, but I think it's because they've yet to open up to you.

I was really bummed out over the cut content but I'm optimistic some features will return, according to the datamines. To be honest, I'm having too much fun that my worries about the game were forgotten.

 

[bcmii]

I will also just leave you all with my post from the rant thread to further illustrate my worries/frustrations about this game.

Crafting is so annoying. It's fine to an extent. But without spoiling anything, the game pretty much forces you to craft to progress. I think the game could've done without it. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like they REALLY downplayed crafting in the Directs. I got the impression of "hey crafting's in the game, but you don't have to use it if you want to...you can just buy stuff from the store." But no...you are FORCED to use the extremely annoying and stupid feature that is crafting to even make any progression in the game.

When you are visiting another person's island, you have NO way to access your storage. In New Leaf, you had the lockers at the train station, but in this game, your inventory is all you get. That's not the only thing that was downgraded from New Leaf, though. There are so many things that they DOWNGRADED from New Leaf, and it's extremely disappointing, because I was given the impression that this game was going to be a huge upgrade from New Leaf.

Going along with my first point: Even after you upgrade your storage, crafting materials take up way too much room. You can store them in your home storage, but then it gets really annoying to take them out to craft. You could also just put them on the ground, I personally don't like having stuff littering the ground.

The island tours are a HUGE downgrade from NL's Island. Half the islands you come across are super generic and have nothing but your native fruit and flowers. Also in NL, you were given tools to use on the island for FREE. Here, you have pay Nook Miles when your stupid tool breaks. Also, as with online multiplayer, the only storage you get is your inventory. In NL you had the bin where you could put everything you got on the island!

That brings me to my next point: Literally all the tools break. Apparently even the gold tools break! It's so annoying how the game forces you to use flimsy tools in the beginning...which break every ten minutes, and then they trick you by giving you recipes for "normal tools" which also break! So frustrating. I remember back in the good ol' days when the "normal tools" they gave you in the beginning were unbreakable (except for the ax). And even then, it doesn't help that Nook's Cranny ONLY sells flimsy tools! The game literally forces you to craft just to make a slightly better tool that's going to break anyways. Then when it breaks, you are forced to craft again...

I find pole vaulting kinda annoying. I wish the bridges were there from the start. I thought it looked so cool when they revealed it in the direct, but now, I find it annoying having to switch from whatever tool I was using to the pole vault just to access the other side of the river.

Something that really worries me is the recent data mining which has revealed that the vast majority of the special NPCs were cut. Literally several characters who are staples in the Animal Crossing franchise have been flat out CUT. That being said, I just watched a recent video about some datamining that was done after the launch day update, and it does look promising. Not going to spoil anything, but right now, it looks like a certain cut character and a certain cut feature might possibly be coming back soon in a future update!

Also, I find it EXTREMELY annoying when I am trying to grab flowers and I accidentally grab the petals instead of dig up the entire flower and then I have to wait for the flower to grow back.

And this final point is probably going to make a lot of people mad, BUT...I feel like Isabell was a cheap throw in to appease the fans and that there are far more worthy characters who have been cut (as of right now) that should've made it in instead. Just my opinion tho, don't come at me.

So, while yes, this game does have several features that are new/upgraded from previous games, there are just way too many things that were flat out cut/downgraded from New Leaf that it makes it hard for me to see the overall game as an upgrade. If anything, it feels like a slight downgrade from New Leaf. Still REALLY love the game, it's just really frustrating how it feels like this game has a regressed a lot of the progress and innovation the series made with New Leaf.

Also, there has been talk about most of the sets and themes having been cut. I was in one thread where people were talking about having barely come across furniture belonging to any sets besides like a same handful of sets (and everyone was saying that those were the only sets they had come across as well). If it turns out to be true about them cutting out most of the furniture sets/themes, that's when I will just quit the game all together. I will also be upset if they're in the game, but we can't have them without having a stupid DIY recipe for the individual pieces/having to craft them. Ugh. I am still playing in hopes that Nintendo is going to redeem themselves (and I still find it to be pretty fun), but I am VERY concerned about this game. I thought that when this came out I was never going to play New Leaf again, but now, I could very well see my self quitting this game to go back to NL.

I don't personally like to tt and wouldn't want to visit a town farther along than I am, but I have no problems with people who want to tt in their own game.

That being said, I do think that Nintendo is trying to heavily discourage tt by not adding everything to the game from the start. I can understand how that might be frustrating to people who do like to tt though.

But for those of us playing at the normal pace, we are just now getting RS upgraded, we only have 5 villagers and pretty recently got Nooks Cranny. We still have weeks worth of stuff to unlock and then Bunny Day will start. I believe by that time Nintendo will slowly start rolling out updates that line up with the pace of non tt-ers.

the game doesnt feel sparse to me. every missing feature has a reason to me. missing npcs--no reason for them to be here. things are going to change and be taken away, and honestly for me personally i had no grand attachment to one-off NPCs or new NPCs presented in NL besides like, isabelle. im only really a little upset about brewster, honestly, but the NPCs never "made" animal crossing for me, so them lacking cant break it. for me its always been a sandbox design game, as well as a collectathon, and i think this game has restructured it a little bit, cutting out the unessentials for a more streamlined experience. of course stuff is missing--you have to build it yourself! get closer to villagers and you get better dialogue. this way you dont get tired of the same dialogue because you unlock more the closer you get (this is the first AC game where ive felt a palpable friendship scale when interacting with villagers. i can tell they are starting to like me more. i could never understand if they liked me in old games)

as for sets of furniture being missing... honestly, im glad. it seems instead of making it where the only way you can have a cohesive room is to use one plain set, it encourages customization and for you to make your room your way, with plenty of options for everything to look good together. honestly, i hated the majority of AC furniture sets and found them tacky, like doll furniture. my current home in NH is my favorite ive ever made in AC and thats with only a little over a week of items and customizing.

i think the frustration experienced is in the fact theyve restructured it to favor customization, streamlined features, and a cohesive look, and thats wiped out a lot of the nostalgia, but i welcome the change. i wasnt looking for a copy of the previous game +some new features. im glad they werent afraid to change it.

this is the most accessible animal crossing game that ive seen, with tons of new people starting it, people i know who have never played a previous installment having a great time. id argue the only thing missing are the things weve been nostalgic over, but not really anything crucial to enjoying gameplay.

regardless, its your choice if you like it or want to play it. if what it took away is a dealbreaker, then you dont have to play it. id say by no means is it a bad or empty game, though.

I guess that's the issue...when you cut out the so-called "unessentials" you are left with Minecraft, but with a time gate on features. When I think of Animal Crossing, I definitely don't think of a sandbox-style Minecraft ripoff where there's almost nothing to do beside design your house and town. I guess this new image the series is taking on doesn't interest me. I completely disagree about the furniture sets...in the previous games, you were never forced to use one plain set; you were free to mix and match. The only difference was that we weren't forced to used the annoying and clunky crafting feature to decorate our homes.

I need to ask why you think these NPCs and concepts are "confirmed" not in the game? They aren't confirmed not in the game because you can't find them on a datamine. That doesn't mean they're confirmed to not be in the game, they just haven't been added in an update yet.

You can also do exterior home decorating... Not sure when you get it, but there is literally footage of someone changing the ENTIRE look of the exterior of their home.

You're complaining about the game being lackluster/boring/empty/whatever when you're technically not playing it in the way it's supposed to be played. If you Time Travel, that's fine, I have NOTHING against it, but it's on you if you decide to Time Travel and run out of things to do within the first week of playing.

Nintendo is not giving us everything at once because, sure, it may not be finished, but if you're playing it the way it's meant to be played day by day, by the time you get to the point where something SHOULD be unlocked, Nintendo will roll and update out for it.

So yeah, they may have given us an unfinished game, but what do I care if the final expansion of Nook's shop isn't in the game yet? I have MONTHS until I'm able to even get to that point, so it doesn't bother me because I don't time travel.

 

[Fruitcup]

I kinda like the limited dialogue. I feel like this did this so that you progress the dialogue with your villagers as the days go on, at least thats what I'm hoping it is...
I bet we'll get a seasonal update in summer with new fish, bugs, flowers, and whatnot!The developers have taken their time and I bet they have put a lot of thought into it all, do not give up hope!!

Did you not bother to read the section where I noted, and I quote "I'm hoping that stuff will be added/improved via the updates"? All I am saying is AS OF RIGHT NOW (as in as of the most recent update), those characters are confirmed to be nowhere to be found within the game's files.

Also, I don't time travel. My post is essentially a compilation of what other people who time travel have said. As such, I do apologize for any inaccurate information. Also, to address the part where you are griping at me for complaining about the game being lackluster - I don't time travel, have been playing as intended for the past week, and find the game VERY lackluster. My apologies for having a different opinion than you~

Nice assumptions about me and how I play, though.

Exactly! While I certainly have my gripes now, I am trying to not jump to get super disappointed yet! There's hope for the updates! Let's try to stay optimistic, that's all that we have left to do!

y’all saying the game is lacking npcs and features bc of time travellers are absolutely wild. devs said they don’t consider tt cheating as early as this week, and no way on earth would they do it just to ‘tackle time travellers’. it’s in no way beneficial to them whatsoever.

if a base game is released unfinished bc of unannounced dlc that may or may not happen, then hell yea bro that’s a problem. stop promising people dlc/updates you know nothing about just bc ur a purist that looks down on tters. you can say you’re fine with tters without throwing shade about how you disapprove of it

 

[tajikey]

This game had my heart the moment the camera tilted down in the opening scene. All I do is play, and when I don't, I think about playing, and when I don't, I'm talking about playing. Resident Services will be upgraded tomorrow, and maybe I'll get the campsite. I don't talk to my villagers because I'm waiting to add the 10 Amiibos I have, which means I'm still missing a significant part of the experience.

There's just so much to do and not enough time to do it.

Actually there's exterior decorating when you completely pay off your loan, and you get it for free to use once a day

Also, I like that even gold tools break because it gives us something to do! They last for way longer than a regular one (I imagine) and it's not like in NL where once you get the set, that's it.

I think the whole idea of the game is to have some longevity to it and give us things that we can be doing everyday. While it may be tedious to some to always be crafting, it keeps us busy because we have to activity go searching for the materials whether its through your island or a Nook Island.

I don't consider it as cheating since it's something built into the game. Cheating would be using that duplication exploit to get a ton of bells or a ton of royal crowns.

When New Leaf came out everything that was in the game was spoiled within a couple of days. Even though they said they didn't consider it cheating doesn't mean they're not putting certain things in the game to prevent people from spoiling stuff on Day 1.

I time traveled in New Leaf. I def don't look down upon them or disapprove of it. I'm just trying to give a reason as to why Nintendo may have not put EVERYTHING in the game on day 1. This is the era of DLC. No games are released fully "finished" these days... Nintendo games are no different. So I'm not sure why people are deterred by the mere thought of DLC.

dlc completely cucks those without internet, and when paid, isolates those who can’t afford to get past the paywall. they can finish a game and if they want place measures so that tting is deterred. fact of the matter is we don’t know why so much was cut and people should stop assuming they have the answers

 

[Mairen]

Goodness gracious it seems there's quite a few people here with building hostility. It makes me sad to see such tension building up in an Animal Crossing community. This game is supposed to encourage relaxation and an easy life. Let's all take a deep breath and remember why we're playing this game in the first place ^-^

 

[Aubrey895]

Not worried a bit. And the villagers really do become better as you progress and build your friendship. I doubt furniture sets have really been cut lol. That’s a very strange thing for them to do. Anything else missing I’m sure will be added with updates. Yeah I wish there was a way to just see everything in the game so everyone could relax a bit. But I’m loving absolutely everything in this game.

- - - Post Merge - - -

This game did something different. Sometimes change is good. They can only do the same thing so many times. Really how fun would you have if it was new leaf but in HD with a few changes? How long would that keep anyone entertained.

 

[AppleBitterCrumble]

Can I also just say that we can't have everything we want? Ideally, yeah we would like to have anything and everything, but the idea of the "perfect" game is different in everyones eyes. I think as of right now people should enjoy what we DO have and trust the process. It's not even a week into the game and we havent even seen what the holidays/main events are like.

Thank you! Finally someone with some common sense! I am going to try to focus on the positives from now on, but I find it SO annoying how everyone here is acting like they have the answers as to why everything was cut. They are pulling their personal theories about it being due to TTing out of thin air, then trying to act like they know it to be the truth.

For the past week unfortunately it has been like, when either people make thread about disappointment on supposedly missing features or TT. How animal crossing games are laid out, I think it still too early to say with absolute certain if we haven't seen yet it removed. TT will be always be debatable do it or not do it. Completely up you but It not intentionally built into the game. If it was up the Devs they would love it if all would play as intended if even they say it not cheating. To TT in NH from my udnerstanding you have to manipulate the time on the actually switch because they took away that feature of being able to change the time and date.
