The ACNH Rant Thread

Yeah, that's very dumb about New Horizons' villagers. It should take more than a couple conversations before they start mentioning how much you're talking to them.

For example, back in Wild World, I never talked enough to an animal to see they were getting annoyed, but yet here it only takes two interactions and they're already implying they're seen me a lot, even if those two talks were hours apart.

While I'm on the subject of Wild World, seriously, where did the interesting conversations, questions, and sliders go? Now it's the most basic questions (and other times they force you to say "yes")…

I mentioned this in a different thread too that it’s funny how they imply you talk to them too much but if you’re away for a few days they think they did something wrong.
 
I haven't played this game in over a week. The interest in the game has really dropped because of how lackluster a lot of it is from it's predecessors. I've also been busy since I am not on lockdown and have to work almost every day and than when I get home I have more chores to do. So I get exhausted, but with how lacking everything in this game is for me I didn't usually have the motivation to power it on.

Anyway I powered the game on and guess what my first villager said to me? They talked about the fossils I've been collecting, how they had a dream about it, and dinosaurs were fighting to pay off their mortgage. I didn't even fossil hunt for a week.

It's just so...lazy. I immediately regretted talking to any of my villagers. People say here that if you talk to them enough every day they will start to say more interesting things. That usually never works for me. And should we really have to power through garbage dialouge each and every day to get a meaningful conversation?

If that's how your neighbors and friends were would you keep them around? Would you even bother with them?
 
Minor point here but I'm not a big fan of the flowers getting out of control everytime it rains. I know you can surround them with patterns to prevent this - which I have done in many areas - but I'd rather be able to enjoy a rainy day knowing I don't have a big clean up job to do the next day.

Exactly. Like it's been raining a lot in my town lately and I have so many flowers I can barely run around anymore.

Another vent pertaining more to the fandom I guess? I hate how it's looked down upon to want popular villagers or villagers that are more cute looking. At the end of the day, it's my island, and I happen to like a lot of popular/cute villagers.
 
How come when you wrap something with your own wrapping paper, and then unwrap that thing, you don’t get the wrapping paper back?

I mean, I guess it makes sense, but it sucks when you accidentally wrap something you aren’t meaning to by accident...
 
That's something that would be interesting, but they never had any furniture interact like that in any of the games. Even with beds you can't go in the covers, hop in a bathtub or hotspring piece, actually interact/play with the playground furniture. And with how they're cutting corners with this game I can't see them doing any of this.
 
I've got a lot of cool fruit recipes, but I can't craft any of them since I only have cherries and pears and won't ever get the other 3 without paying for nintendo online.
Why can't villagers just give you the other fruits in letters or as gifts as in other games? Or Leif could seel them? I'll pay 1 million bells, Nook, just give me a freaking apple.
 
im so frustrated with the tutorial sequence it takes soooo long omg. mable came to my island two days in a row but then decided to take a vacation or something so its been a century and im just now getting her shop which is the only thing i needed (along with another villager but that was sorted before the shop) and i still!! have to wait!! 2 days. at least tomorrow i can start murdering all my trees and such in preparation for terraforming.

Pashmina will literally ask "minutes have been treating you well?" even if it's been hours since I last talked to her. It's terrible and makes you feel bad for no reason!
 
Some villagers clothes and houses changed. Like who is Peanut anymore with that pink heart nightmare of a house design? Where is her red stone flooring with K.K. Salsa playing?
 
I'm a little peeved that starting villagers have the basic interiors and you pretty much have to move them out and reinvite them from someone else to get the interior that matches who they are. Also, I gifted kiki a witch hat thinking she would actually wear it, but she displays it inside her house on the floor when she has a table and I hate the way it looks xD
I wish there was someway to make villagers use the furniture you gift them in a smart way... or give you the option of deciding whether or not they should display that sea bass they requested me to catch... like they could ask you "hey do you think this would look nice?" and you could respond with yes or no or tell you to rate their interiors and how they could improve it.
idk maybe im being a control freak ahahaha
 
This game is turning me against my all time favorite villagers.

The dialogue and exercising is depressing me to the point where I'll delete my game.
 
So I have never been all that obsessed with villager houses looking good...
Until now.

Rodney, look. Ik none of the accessories I've given you fit your preferences to a T. But... you have storage, don't you?

A red candy machine, a dartboard, his blue pinball machine (I gave him that black one but it went in the place of the dartboard) and a cacao tree have all taken the fall to his accessories. Also a blue gas range I gave him in a spot that was previously empty. This is absurd. I think it's a problem for him specifically because he has a lot of 1x1 items. Why can they even display clothes/accessories in this game?

It's like they designed this mechanic as if the "give a villager a thing every day" option wasn't there and your villagers got new clothes every so often like in the past (unless you spammed letters), not potentially every day.

I don't even have the red candy machine or the blue pinball machine... I have the pink candy machine but it probably won't go in the same place

I also can't give them their furniture back if I'm not done giving them clothes first bc this'll just happen

why

They say better things when your friendship with them gets better, but only a little better. Talking to them only gives you like 1 friendship point, which means you'd have to talk then them for a couple hundred days to reach a high level. You need to do gift them something (expensive) everyday, and do things for them.

I have blue, red, and pink. If you want, I can order some from the catalog and give you one of each.
