The ACNH Rant Thread

- batch-craft and craft max bait. And also allow me to buy it. Dear lord.

- it takes 3 button presses to get to Nook Miles+ to then claim your reward (w/ another press). There could easily be a contextual shortcut here that takes you right ot your Miles+ goals

- no visual indicator for when your tools are close to breaking. It's a real pita when one tool breaks after another, or when you've just climbed a cliff or gone on an island tour. If it could just change appearance to look worn/cracked, that'd be handy

- pull resources from storage or a special toolbox when working at a crafting table, not just pockets. Carrying around your tools and resources together take up 2 rows of inventory, which kinda makes it like you have less space than past games!

- kinda annoying you have to craft a flimsy version, then use that to craft a stronger version, rather than just directly going to the recipe for the stronger version and making everything that's needed at once

- really, I can't store turnips still? :-/

- it's annoying that there's an inconsistency in that the A button speeds up animations, but the B button speeds up text, so you have to alternate between the two when doing a bunch of crafting, keeping proper timing because you can easily press the wrong buttons (A is also accept and B is cancel)

- really, still no quarter turns of furniture?

- where the heck are the other flower species? I have to rely on rng to get them on island tours?!

I'm a filthy cheater, but did they really have to patch the duplication glitch out? I was finally having some fun with it.

Here's my list of current rants hahaha.

- The dialogue of villagers at the start of the game is SO bad. Like, the first 5 days is just "this is my personality type and that's all you get". I understand it gets better because omg my villagers are really diverse now, but for anyone with no patience they are going to hate the game and villagers super early.
- There are so so many balloons! I'm happy to get any I can shoot but I think it was nicer when you didn't see them very often.
- I hate how you have to actively switch to a pole or ladder especially when doing something like scaring away bugs/fish for a spawn. I would have loved it if they made it so if you pressed A without a tool it would automatically use the pole or ladder. Or have the pole/ladder on a separate keybind.
- You can just plant money trees now? Without a golden tool no less, it's a bit of a shame.
- CRAFTING BAIT ONE AT A TIME!!!! I'm trying to farm the barreleye and oh my god it makes me so sad.

I hate when people complain that this is an incomplete game.
Like its not meant to be played super fast and TTing often every day to the point you unlock everything right away and have nothing to do. You are supposed to enjoy it slowly, thats how its meant to be. And them releasing new stuff every so often is amazing because it keeps things interesting without having people just be able to TT ahead and do everything in a month and then get bored and put the game down.
The new crafting system is not for everyone, i get that. But it really makes you work for what you want and tbh It feels more rewarding to work hard gathering materials for something you want. The ONLY complaint I have about this game is that gold tools break and theres no indication when something is gonna break. That would be the only thing I can think of to change lol.
Everything else is fun and new, without straying too far from other AC games.

I feel like we got an incomplete game and are at Nintendos mercy to get the updates

yes. this game took them a long time to make. why should we have to wait for updates?

 

[N e s s]

for everyone saying the criticisms are dumb or trivial, remember that some people care about certain things more than you do. try not to be dismisive. the game is a lot of money, and to some it's understandably concerning that certain features were cut from the base game, dlc or no. not everybody is capable of blind faith in dlc/updates

I wasn’t being dismissive, I was giving my opinion on the game; so far I really like it and disagree with many criticisms. It’s fine if people dislike certain aspects or miss other things previous games had, I’m not telling them “your opinion is stupid.”

i was addressing more than u but ok. u specifically mention that 'most' complaints were trivial and i think it's bc u don't personally care about those things. ur experience isn't universal and you don't really have the right to tell other people that their complaints are insignificant. all i'm saying

 

[cicely]

Are violets not in this game? I miss them. Leif, please deliver :[

So, how exactly am I telling anyone their complaints are insignificant? I said trivial because I think a majority of people here can agree the game is really good. And yes, I do not see eye to eye on many of the opinions stated, but I never once was condescending to anyone here.

To say that anyone that thinks most of thing said here is personally telling people their opinions are insignificant is hyperbolic. All I’m saying.

 

[HappyTails]

Everyone's opinion matters, even if you don't agree with them. Come on people it's just a game.

Now let me rant about said game.
Game, keep raining after 4pm please so I can catch the rainy day fish. The two times it rained on my island, it stopped before 4pm.

you referenced others by saying "critcisms on this thread", and said you find them trivial. it's not rocket science. also, just because you're part of the majority who does think that the game is good, doesn't mean that the opinions of the minority that doesn't don't count. a bit weasley to say that imo

i like your little passive aggressive 'all i'm saying' at the end. real cute. doesn't hurt to be respectful tho

 

[N e s s]

Love or hate certain aspects, it’s certainly not a bad game. No disrespect if you dislike things about it, all the best to you.

I do miss the music from New Leaf and I wish bulk crafting was a thing, the fishing bait hurts my thumb.

 

[twistinfate]

I agree that bulk crafting should be a thing. How else I am going to make money off of weeds by making leaf umbrellas and selling them for twice the price. Crafting items individually gets to be a pain after awhile.

I don't know if you're half serious or not, but crafting Leaf Umbrellas is the absolute slowest bell making trick in the game. You can earn anywhere between 20k-50k bells just fishing for 20 minutes.

WHY IS THE GAME SO GOSH DAM GORGEOUS!

WHY IS THE GAME SO GOSH DAM GORGEOUS!

Which reminds me, the game appears to be running at a higher frame-rate when docked. One reviewer said it was locked at 30 FPS in both handheld and docked, but I want to disagree after seeing it for myself. I'm not sure how I can measure frame rate. My capture card caps at 30, so that won't work..

 

[DinoTown]

I have no complaints about the game whatsoever. A lot of the common ones here seem to be issues relating to later game content and running out of stuff to do, which shouldn't happen to any non-time travellers. My town hall building is gonna start tomorrow, I'm working my way towards the 198k house upgrade and generally am having a jolly old time.

On second though, I do have a complaint. Tarantulas scary. First night I caught two and every night since I've run away like a wuss because I'm arachnophobic. Why so scary Nintendo lol

I don't know about leaf umbrellas (prefer to either save my weeds for crafting materials or sell them by themselves since there's Nook Miles rewards for that) but I do agree on bulk crafting. That would help so much for bulk fish bait making. Tapping A helps, but if I could just select (for example) 7 fish baits for my 7 clams, and then have to see the animation only once, that'd be nice.

 

[Beehaw]

I really hope there's a "being able to craft from storage if you have a workbench in your house" feature planned, cause it seems like such an obvious choice to really enhance their crafting system.

Also, Why WHY is this the second time this week that my "hot item" is a tire toy! Not only is it just a paltry 40 bells, tires are somewhat hard to find! I need those Nook mile+ points, man!

I didn't think of that until I saw that mentioned today, but I agree that crafting from storage would be nice. You know what else would be nice? An item that lets you access your storage from outside of your house.

You've just had bad RNG luck for the hot item. I've never had it be the tire toy yet, and it's been different every single day. I agree with you though - not worth wasting a tire on that.
