Happy Home Designer: To Buy Or Not To Buy?

[Diancie]

Hi guys!

So, I'm planning to buy AC HHD in July/August of this year. But I have a few issues.

- I'm buying it almost 1 year after release so the hype will be over. I cannot buy the AC amiibo festival because I'm not planning to buy a Wii U anytime soon.
(I cannot buy the game earlier because I'm really busy with school)

- There will be better games released in those months. (I haven't been keeping up with the Nintendo news so if you want to recommend some other game, go ahead!)

- Some reviews say the game is 'boring'

I want to buy the NFC bundle because I have an old 3DS.

What should I do? Should I go ahead and buy the bundle?

Personally i really enjoy the game, i really enjoy the design aspect of AC games so having a really advanced set of tools to really design rooms of my liking is highly enjoyable for me.
However, villager dialouge is very limited, which is sad for me becuase i always enjoy the cute little conversations greatly! But their new animations are all quite adorable.
Ive only had the game since december and can only play it ever so often, so im sure after a while there wont be much left to do in it, unlike other AC games.

I got the game for Christmas and I love it. It's fun if you wanna play for hours or just decorate one house and put it down. The limited dialogue doesn't really detract from the game for me but the new animations really add a little something to the game play. It's definitely worth it.

I found the game to be quite dull actually. It just doesn't have any lasting appeal.

It depends on whether or not you would find designing house after house fun in and of itself. No real rating system, no rewards. Just a library of houses you've put together to look back on and feel good about creating.

I would and did buy it, but if you're someone who needs more action than that, it's far too humble a game for you.

if you like designing stuffs like me, then yes, its worth every penny. the only downside of the game is that the game has no 'rating' system. you can just decorate a villager's house with an item or two (including the items they unlock for you) and they will like you even if it looks garbage.

Do you have the ability to share your designs over the Internet to others?
Can they come visit your rooms?

yes you can share your rooms to the hhd network and you'll get a code that other people will be able to visit, kind of like a dream address for acnl
