Are you happy with Animal crossing Horizons ?

[Bcat]

Actual image of me, present moment:

I was skeptical initially about the crafting. But I've since embraced the idea! Being able to build a town completely from scratch is exactly what I wanted going in! I love the level of customization it's implied we're going to get, and all the other new features look stunning as well!

I have a lot more questions about it however, particularly about the more advanced stages of gameplay, but I'm confident that nintendo will polish it to be absolutely amazing and I'm patiently awaiting march 20th

I admit I was really hesitant about it with just the trailer, but the Treehouse presentation sold me on it. It's a little less than 10 months away, and still in development. New Leaf had a totally different look in development too, and it turned out to be visually and mechanically great. The team knows what they're doing, and this is clearly a relatively early build. The game will be great, will end up selling like 20 million copies, and I can hardly wait for it!

i love it , haha <3

 

[Ras]

Only having seen the trailer, I don’t like it at all.

Edit: But it does look better from the Treehouse footage.

 

[TheRealWC]

I have mixed feelings. While I do think it'll feel like an Animal Crossing game when it's said and done, there are still a ton of questions I have and am mixed on crafting. There are some quality of life improvements (skin tone, paths, hemispheres) that make it seem like the game will be extremely expansive. So I'm excited, more-so than when I saw the trailer for the first time, but I still want to see more.

How do you feel about New Horizons so far?

Is it what you expected? Would you have preferred something else?

I'm actually really excited for it. I replayed Wild World recently and I even thought to myself, "it would be nice if I could actually customize all of this myself instead of it just given to me, but they probably would never do that" but they just proved me wrong.

What are some things you like or dislike about what you saw so far? What do you hope for?

 

[satine]

I am super pumped! But that wait will be gruesome . This next year is very unbeliavably busy for me and it'll be a sliiiightly inconvenient time but oh well, that's okay. At least it's not September... I would have failed my classes next semester if so.

 

[Twisterheart]

I'm excited.

At first, I didn't know what to think. It seemed so different I almost didn't like it at first, but after watching some gameplay and rewatching the trailer a few times I can say I'm excited. There are a few things I'm still worried about that I'm hoping they'll show soon enough.

 

[drowningfairies]

It wasn't like anything I expected, but I am excited to see more about it.
I'm not bothered much about the delay as I thought I'd be, tbh.

I really love the art style in this one, and how nice everything looked outside in the trailer. Plus putting down actual paths is amazing.

 

[Paperboy012305]

It's everything I wanted it to be, except for the deserted island part...

I really wanted the next gimmick of the game to be able to move to a town with no civilization and you bring the civilization to life from the Ground Up. It's all I wanted it to be.

 

[Jason Voorhees]

I was excited at the gameplay trailer, then a little disappointed after watching the entire thing.

The Switch can do better.
Hopefully it will improve.

 

[EpicGamer12]

Super excited - I am looking forward to seeing all the new features they'll reveal as the game gets closer to launch.

 

[cornimer]

I am super excited, it looks better than I was expecting. I love that it will be something new and seemingly different from New Leaf. For some reason I thought they wouldn't make it that different, but as soon as I saw that it's set on an island I was so thrilled. They showed a lot more gameplay than I expected too - I was expecting a short trailer and nothing else, not a Treehouse feature.

 

[Bowie]

I honestly don’t like it. The art style is awful, it feels more like a fan game than anything else, and unless they polish the graphics in the same way they polished New Leaf’s, I can’t honestly say I’m excited.

That being said, I’m buying a new Switch for Bayo 3 (sold my old Switch), so I’ll probably get a bundle with Animal Crossing included if they decide to bring one out.

 

[maple22]

I don't think that I can say much yet, but I'm just excited as I already was.

 

[Duzzel]

I voted disappointed, but I may be more skeptical. I new the next installment would be customization heavy with HHD and PocketCamp being released since NL. But I was hoping they would stay true to the heart of the original game where community and making a home in a new place took the focus. If I'm being completely honest, I didn't really see that, only that you can create an island however you want.

I'm still quite excited for NewHorizons. It definitely has animal crossing feel and sentiment, and I'm looking forward to updates from nintendo, but I'm not sure I'll be getting the Animal Crossing game I was hoping for.

 

[Liability]

i'm excited because it's a new game and the graphics look so good, but i'm really skeptical about the gameplay and the crafting. i don't like to craft much in games, and i feel like the materials could be an excuse for Nintendo to use microtransactions

i don't mind it being on a deserted island. in fact i like it even more because it's not like other games where you have a town, and that new aspect is very interesting. we'll just have to see how shops and such get implemented, and if we have to build them up ourselves. same goes for houses. i do think it's a bit of a downgrade to only have two villagers when you start on your island, though

 

[DJStarstryker]

I'm pretty excited. I'm totally cool with crafting. Crafting generally gives more to do in a game like this. However, like others, I hope it doesn't make Nintendo put in microtransactions. I absolutely WILL NOT buy this game if it has microtransactions in it. I don't play Pocket Camp or any other microtransaction game, and it bothers me that these kinds of games even exist at all.

I'm seeing a lot of neat things in this. You can move your house. You can put your house on the beach. You can put furniture outside. It looks like grass wear may no longer be a thing. You can make natural dirt paths without running back and forth. Basically, customization is one of the things I enjoy a lot in Animal Crossing, and NH appears to have a lot of that.

It also appears as if maybe NPCs will interact more. I saw the Nooklings walking around on the island during the Treehouse stream. That made me very hopeful. I've always wanted the NPCs to do more in the games. I'd love to see them walking around town randomly, appear in shops and such randomly, maybe even have houses to visit. I don't know if we'll get all of those things, but even some would make me happy.

I'm really indifferent to the graphics. I don't understand the people saying it's a downgrade from New Leaf. These are clearly much higher resolution graphics. It also may not be the finalized look. But I don't think it necessarily looks beautiful either. It's just... Animal Crossing looking? I don't know how to describe my feelings about that.

 

[kayleee]

it's not at all what I expected but I am really excited for it. I'm actually glad that it's significantly different from new leaf, because even though I would absolutely love an updated take on new leaf it's going to be exciting to experience something entirely new. at first I felt a little disappointed, but after re-watching the direct and watching gameplay during the Nintendo treehouse my attitude completely changed.

 

[SnakeEater]

I've been excited since the initial reveal. The prospect of a HD Animal Crossing that can be played both on TV and portably is very intriguing. It seems like they've added a ton to this one so I imagine it'd be an even greater time-sink than New Leaf.
