Thats the face of someone who wants to make you feel uncomfortable......Mfw when they announce Bunny Day is back with new items
Well, I guess this is it for me. I expected nothing and that's what they delivered, in my opinion, so I guess I'll do what I said I'd do, which is leave the game, or at the very least, only log in during times in which you can purchase a (mostly) useless item through the Nook Stop and that's it.
I have no use for more custom design slots since I have created a grand total of zero and this addition is not going to make that number change. I'm not going to purchase or invite the Sanrio villagers because I only like Etoile and I'm certainly not buying the whole thing for only one villager. They still haven't upgraded the damn shop. They've removed Blanca and probably all minor holidays will be replaced by a cushion or something. They intentionally removed holiday NPCs just so they could add them throughout the year to give the illusion that every update was adding something new. There's so much more than that but the list could be endless.
All in all, it's pretty clear to me that New Horizons is going to be lacking throughout its entire life span. I mean, if this is the so-called anniversary update (which, by the way, is acknowledged by giving us a cake, woo-hoo), then there won't be any other more meaningful update. I tried to cut them some slack because there's this whole pandemic situation and remain positive but they've made it so hard and I'm done waiting for something that will most likely not come. If they decide to add everything that's missing some day, I might come back, but until then, I've just stopped caring.

Luck was the WORST!

Yeah... no thanks, I'll pass
I would be happy if she came back but with a new job. Problem is they already have so many npcs without jobs due to them making the game more streamlined. What could they give her?
Personally I would be happy with just a generic fortune that has no impact on your gameplay and an item from some fortune teller themed series. Make it have like 20 or so items and you'd get a years worth of stuff from her.

I think you just need to take a break from the game. I understand how you feel and I too was feeling the same way when I just feel so fed up of what this game was. You can come back to the game whenever you want. Its not like no one is telling to play it everyday. Its only you have to decide when its the right time. I get there is things in this game that haven't been addressed and I can see where you are coming from.
I learned that playing this game too much is only going to leave you feeling frustrated or not having a good time. So again take a break and come back when you have a refreshed mindest or if there is a certain update that will interest you in checking out the game. I know many people told me this when I made a thread "What else is there to do in the game when you complete everything?" but you're better off playing a different game if it doesn't bring any joy to you whatsoever. This not me trying to be rude or telling you what you can or cannot do but again, its up to you to decide what makes you feel good about yourself.
I mean, I basically play the game every day for 30 minutes, tops, and I always do the usual chores (pick up tree branches, dig up flowers if it has rained, hit rocks and craft stuff with those materials...). It's been like this for months, so I understand and know why I'm feeling frustrated and bored with the game. I guess I was kind of hoping they'd address if anything SOME of the issues, but I feel like they've addressed none of them, which is why this is the straw that broke the camel's back to me.
As I said, I'll just log in to order stuff through the Nook Stop every other day even though I feel like most items are useless, but since it appears that that's the only way to get new items, then I might as well use it. I just feel bad about dropping the game because I really like my villagers, but at least they can't leave unless I let them.
I'm about to quit too.
I finally bought another game, and going to escape into that for a while.
NH is a constant let-down.
It's just one disappointment after another.
It's the death of AC at it's core.
I no longer give a crap.
I picked up Final Fantasy seven recently and intend to play it for the first time. I think it'll be my go to when I want a break from playing NH.
I ordered Mario Odyssey.
Sounds like fun.
It is, have fun.
I think I'll focus on Super Mario 3D World, which I still haven't finished after a month.
Well at least the extra design slots will come in handy, since I'm currently doing a full island re-design. It's an absolute shame that Bianca got replaced by a single item. I really wish that they'd make the shop an actual shop, and not just a let down compared to NL. This was their chance to bring back multiple characters, and add multiple furniture sets... which is a huge letdown imo.
No. We were expressing our disappointment IN the update, and mentioned that it's driven us away from AC, and towards other games.
Hardly off topic.
I just want to add that for me, it's story of seasons when it comes out later this month.
Just thought I'd add that before going back on topic.
On topic, the friend I play the game with was actually my date to prom back when I was at school. So it will be fun to do prom with her again 10 years later. Our prom was 2011
I think everybody's AC criticisms are valid and definitely encourage people to play other games if they are tired of Animal Crossing. I share some of the criticisms and disagree with others.
That said, I think sometimes AC gets held to a different standard than other games. I've finished both the Mario games mentioned (as while as other Switch games), and the content in most other Switch games is about a fraction of that compared to an AC game (even with the features AC is missing). They are fun games, but if amount of content is the thing being criticized, they are shorter experiences and people aren't likely to be playing them for months (or years) like an AC game.

Well I Have Mixed Feelings. The Extra Design Slots? Amazing. The Way They Implemented April Fools Day: Horrible. They Just Should Have Brought Blanca Back. And The Extra Customization Is Great Too

so it's true 
yay ^^
yay ^^
i didn't mean u specifically but there were posts that mentioned other games and nothing related to the update
so i was just saying that the post is about the update and so i'd prefer if everyone could stay on topic but whatever i don't even care at this point
I have mixed feelings about this.
The content of this update is definitely something I did not expect, but then again, the "anniversary update" is nothing but optimism built by the fanbase. So once again, I admit that I disappointed myself because of my own expectations. Of course, not everything is all bad. This update is bigger compared to many of the previous ones, so I'm still glad about that.
These are just initial impressions since the update isn't out yet. I honestly hope there's more hidden when the update drops. But I doubt it.
Looking forward to April, which is the series' 20th anniversary. Still looking forward to Brewster and the gyroids. I know I'm setting myself up for another disappointment. But hey, it's been a year. I'm already numb.

- First, we have 6 returning villagers, each with their complete furniture sets and clothing. That in itself is technically better than watered-down events we've been getting.
- The anniversary cake is so cute. I kinda want that in real life.
- The Pro Editor + is definitely a game changer, at least to those who like to bombard their islands with custom designs. Personally, I'll probably use the cutout standee the most.
- Very bummed about April Fool's. Kinda wish this whole thing IS an April Fool's prank.
- Bunny Day being shortened to a week instead of 12 is good thing. And having new items is great. Looking forward to more items that I'll probably never use.
- As for other seasonal items, guess the prom set is another set to collect. I like the guy's crown though. The Forsythia looks pretty. The globe is perfect for the living room.
- Item-exclusivity to the NSO App kinda sucks. And poor Katrina.
- The Island Tour Creator will definitely be of use. I kinda want a promotional thingy for my island.

Yeah I think that's why people being overly critical wind's me up.
My second most played game on switch is my time at portia with 90 hours, and then breath of the wild at 80 hours.
On new horizons I have 680 hours and I'm still going strong. I couldn't really ask for more after that. At least not for free.
I thought the update was just going to be sanrio stuff which was okay but not super my thing.
Now they announced this and I'm more than hyped for it. More design slots and I really want the prom stuff.
Bigger updates would of course be amazing and I would be thrilled for one.
But since I've already got so much out of the game...
Plus, it's all but confirmed at some point we are getting a shop upgrade and brewster.
I've got 8 times more time out of this game than any other game on switch and if I spent the time at the cinema, it would have cost me over 8k.
I would be interested to see the play times of those who think they should get bigger updates and compare it to what they put into other games. Because it really does feel like it's unfair to expect so much when we paid so little.
