The ACNH Rant Thread

[Story]

I feel like this is where Cyrus should had came in if they didn't want us crafting and customziing everything. They should had brought him back to customize the Nook rewards and orderables we can't customize.

Yeah I totally agree. I miss the fossil miniatures as well from him.
I get that they did this to encourage trading, but I’m really not a fan with their being just so many items.

I’m still not a fan of item color variants. I hate that I have to trade to get everything in order to realize my vision. It’s not a good feeling.

THIS. So much! I have said so much the thing about bringing cyrus back. Why can't I PAINT THE THING THE COLOR I WANT? Trading is so tedious and unnecessary!

i agree, but at least she felt useful to some degree because of time travel, deleting villagers and deleting towns. now it feels like she's only there as filler content... i'd even go so far as to call it fanservice... i don't remember her telling me that she finished her cross word puzzle for the hundreth time in acnl xD

I kinda hope she be fixed later on, because the developer didn’t understand how annoying it would be to hear the same dialogue over and over, its like that saying, if you have nothing to say, don’t say anything at all. XD

Yeah, Tom Nook does that now if you go to the settings Via the start screen (pressing— on the control) with the profile of the character you want to delete, but boy, they make you feel like crap for doing it... (mentioning that they will basically have their memories wiped and won’t remember you at all, kinda makes you feel bad for doing it...)

Just like how the very first residents with you are a jock and an uchi, the first campsite visitor is smug. Consider yourself lucky with Julian, though. At least his house is super cool and he’s tradeable. I got Rodney. *shudders*

My first campsite visitor was Wolfgang!

 

[necrofantasia]

the campsite card game fills me with so much hate, why oh why did they have to remove the other minigames for this!!!!!!!!!!! you know THEONESTHATAREACTUALLYPOSSIBLEANDNOTRIGGED

 

[Shawna]

this giant Trevally is a freaking nightmare to catch ;——;

I feel like a lot of points can be pointed at the games industry as a whole. But, with New Horizons specifically; I am just kinda sad that full games aren't released anymore. Always updates. I am probably just a boomer of the gaming world but you used to pay 60 dollars for a complete game. Of course, they weren't free of bugs or glitches or had things they could improve upon. I still prefer New Leaf, to be honest. I liked the Welcome Amiibo update of having that gameplay that was generally good, and updates were more to fix things and make things easier for the player rather than... New.. Content..

Now don't get me wrong; I sincerely commend them for having real time released events so that way people can't spoil what happens on them. But to have entire series of furniture missing, removing features from the old games that we like and have come accustomed to JUST to add it on later?

I may be in the minority here, but the crafting of tools is getting really monotonous. I get that Pocket Camp was successful but did people really like having to craft stuff THAT much? We see the way everyone is rushing to get the stuff they want (myself included I won't lie). And on that I really hope that they add a durability meter for the tools. If they take away being able to reset the durability by customizing, they are really corralling the players experience in to how they intended to play the game; and if they really wanna stick with this route of making your island your own they shouldn't do that.

I still love animal crossing and I do love things about New Horizons but in general I still find myself liking New Leaf better.

I fully agree. This is why I'm not a fan of modern gaming right now. A lot of it feels rushed so you end up paying for a half finished game but apparently it's okay because don't worry, they'll provide updates!

Just take a look at Pokemon Sword and Shield. The game came out and like under a month later they introduced DLC for stuff that could have and should have already been in the game. It's a pathetic money grabbing scheme that people seem to either be alright with or fall for. I'm sad Animal Crossing is heading down that tunnel. I'm just happy the updates they provide are free because they should have been in the game from the getgo.

I also fully agree with the SW/SH! And yes, thankfully animal crossings updates are free. I hope they stay free. I am a bit afraid that so many people are just happy that we have a game after 8 years; which I am too! But it is lacking SO much for a huge title.

To me it's only been 3 years since the WA update kept me interested for the remainder of the time. I wasn't playing it religiously, but I played it every now and then and a lot during the update. So stepping down from that and going into NH is like going from eating a great hamburger to eating just two buns and a pickle.

I start to chew and something's missing. I open the buns and...where's the beef!?

I felt the same way. People were complaining about NL being old and all but I fully respected Nintendo for giving us a free update for the game. It was great!

NH feels rushed. It's gorgeous to look at but lacks any real depth. Especially compared to the content we had in NL.

For sure. It was like a half baked piece of toast thrown at the fans to shut them up. Plus the game was already delayed so it just makes you wonder what it was delayed for.

 

[Zane]

I can’t believe villagers are programmed to pull out their fishing poles and come over and start fishing in the body of water you’re clearly in the middle of building

 

[Jessi]

Ugh I really wish the light post would actually create light. Like they look nice, but it would be nice if they actually created light around them so nighttime would look nicer. Just makes them feel pointless

 

[PajamaCat]

It hasn't rained on my island in over a month. Before that it rained maybe three times. I just want to catch a coelacanth and wear my cute raincoat and boots!

 

[DaviddivaD]

I am missing four or five fossils and it's been two weeks since I got one that wasn't what I already donated.

this! i usually like engaging in this forum, but all i see are the villager polls and nothing actually worth discussing.

also, i don't understand why isabelle doesn't tell you from the start of the day that you'll have a meteor shower that night? i don't actually remember, but aren't they announced in the bulletin board in nl? why not even give players a headsup, even in the daytime?

The bulletin board is so underutilized in this game.

 

[-Blue-]

Yeah I kind of hate that the board isn't used at all. It was always on fire when I played NL and the other games. Sometimes it was cool stuff. Other times it wasn't. Like the Nook shop would make announcements about sales, something rare in, someone buried treasure, ect.

I don't know if it's just my island, but it rains all the time. I have the opposite problem of you Pajama. I wouldn't mind a clear and sunny day for once. I kind of hate it now. Rain used to be something unique that I would be excited to see in my other games.

 

[Arjh]

What's really annoying me right now is house expansion, I just finished paying of my second room and it's a whopping 798,000 bells for a 3rd room when it was a max 598,000 for full room expansion in NL. What really annoys me is that you no longer have the option to choose where you want to add the extra room or to increase room size instead. I hate how small my back room is, I only have the shell bed and arch and if I add anything else it just looks so cluttered.

I also really miss Nook's Homes for changing the outside of your house, I miss the variety and how you could update anytime before upgrading your house first.

 

[-Blue-]

That's another point I can get behind. When I was upgrading my entire house, I was expecting Nook to ask me what I wanted to expand or what room I wanted next.

I mean what if someone just wants a main room and a basement? That's kind of crappy on them. 'Craft the island the way you want! As long as it's our way.'

 

[Romaki]

I really don't know how they expect us to build snowmen in how we're supposed to set up our islands. Paths, items, flowers, trees... it's gonna be so annoying.

I was so disappointed that the other rooms wouldn’t expand like our main room! My kitchen is just too small and I don’t like the idea of putting it upstairs or in the basement....

I’ve mentioned this here before but I really wonder if some people’s games are bugged or something re: meteor showers, because it’s baffling to me every time I see someone complain that she doesn’t mention them. She always has without fail for me, if it’s early in the day she says we’re in for a rare treat of shooting stars tonight and if the shower has already started she says the sky above our island is full of shooting stars. If her not announcing it for everyone is a bug I don’t understand why it hasn’t been fixed yet.
