$100?!?
I got mine for about Β£25 and I can count on one hand how many times Iβve used it. Most, if not all info is available online so itβs really just a collectors piece. I wouldnβt be willing to spend that much on it.
$100?! It was around 25 new and the info was outdated by the first update
If you like having a big book of visuals as a collectors' item, then it's worth it (at least to me, that's how I mostly use it now) but I'd say wait until you can find it at a much better price.
The real worth is whatever someone is willing to pay for it, so if it's selling for $100 and people are buying for $100, it's worth $100. That said, it was literally outdated the moment it came out, and given the mass appeal of the game, all of its info is freely available online on various sites and resources, such as this forum. So I can't say I recommend being one of the people paying 4X the original price for it
Yeaaahhh.... I say no. I mean there is many guides and tutorials on YouTube that explain how to get started in New Horizons so I would not get it if its at that high of a price.
It's a fun thing to look through, and there's some interesting things like weather schedules, TV programs, villager houses, and Happy Home mechanics, but a lot of the guide is either outdated (nothing beyond launch is included) or just wrong (the flower breeding mechanics seem to be completely at odds with every other guide I've ever seen).
I'd get it just for fun if you find a cheap copy, but it's not worth $100 as a guide.
people mention it already being outdated from the updates, but the big negative is that even some info in that book for the time was confirmed dead wrong, via dataminers
$100 is incredibly overpriced. As many others here I bought it for Β£25. Its really cute and the book itself is actually really big, the illustrations are nice. But truth be told, I havenβt looked at it since last year but I really wanted to collect it anyway. Itβs outdated but that was to be expected, its just a good reference for all the base game items and variations. Plus handy for the bugs and fish.
I would recommend to wait till you find one for a decent price. This is definitely overpriced and not worth the money at all, regardless of whether for actual use or just as a collectible, especially since it's outdated already.
I've bought the companion books in the past to help me keep track of my collections, but with smartphones and the apps they make as companions now, I wouldn't waste the money. When the game first came out, the book was $20-$25 new, but I've been using an app called ACNH Life pretty much since the game launched and it's been super helpful. I appreciate it so much that I didn't even mind paying/donating $5 to make it ad free.
Yes and no. I got mine for Β£30 from Amazon when it was released. Itβs okey. It does have a lot missing. And I mean basically everything that was added in through updates; Redd, art, museum upgrade, Lief, bushes, diving, sea critters, events and holidays etc
Its an interesting book to flick through and definitely a good gift for a die hard fan. But I wouldnβt say that its worth any more than like Β£20
for $100? hell no. especially since from what iβve seen, the guide itself is incredibly outdated by now and the publishers havenβt stuck to their plan of sending out free information updates to everyone who bought a copy after nintendo launches a new update.
In the past I collected nearly every Pokemon game guide because I loved the franchise and collecting books. I still have a lot of them. I also have the Sims 3 box set of guides. They're nice to look at now and then but I wouldn't drop $100 on any guide though cause that's a bit out of my league. To each their own.
