The ACNH Rant Thread

[trashpedia]

I really don't like how the fish behave in this game. Sometimes they get really close to the shore and you have to step away or aim at an odd angle to get the line in front of them. Also iron tools (especially for the bug net or fishing rod) break so frequently it gets annoying when you are trying to grind fish for more bells.

i feel like i'm the only one who's mad furniture sets are not there? like is it just me?
i reaaally like the game but it doesn't feel like the full AC experience without the sets... i feel like i'm decorating my house as i would in the sims

Don't have many complaints honestly I think the game is lovely. However, I do dislike how we are unable to craft multiples and how nearly everything HAS to be done via the island rep. My little sister and I both play the game, and since she isn't the island rep, she couldn't see what was needed for the 3 houses plot early game.

Like I appreciate the control they give to the main player, but I do think that the other players should be able to help out with smaller tasks like these.

You mean the missing sets? I'm sad about the astro series. I really liked that one! Very 60s 'futuristic' spy stuff.

EDIT: oh man, I had forgotten about Gracie's furni. I really miss the Sweets series. Saharah does sell a dark chocolate wall.

Wait, what does he look like now?!

punchy is a fave of mine and i have him on my island, and comparing his new leaf render to a screenshot from NH he looks literally the same to me but just with a different default shirt like every other villager... i'm not sure if i'm missing something or what but i don't get this complaint.

I really love the concept of the patterns smoothing together but I feel like it also causes problems!
Things always seem to blend where you don't want them to blend, so you have to be careful with your palette and sometimes need to pick inaccurate colours to avoid unwanted blending in certain areas of your design.

though when it works, it works really well and makes the design look great! So I do mostly love this feature though it has caused me some issues.

I would love the Gracie sets. I don't think I've seen a balloon furniture item.

Maybe a difference in the ears? Or is that just the compression of the picture?

Ahhh my heart, he's so adorable I wish he would move in for me too

 

[Galbador]

Punchy was in fact my first new villager and he is absolutely amazing. And he likes pizza, hehe.

 

[jiojiop]

Utterly unfair! Doesn't he know I have him as my avatar?! This is embarrassing, sighhhh...

WHAT DID THEY DO TO ISABELLE’S VOICE

 

[Gingersnap]

My only complaints are QoL changes they could add (crafting in bulk, being able to craft from storage) etc. Other than that, I'm having a lot of fun! I think people are getting worked up over content that isn't in the game that Nintendo said in the directs- twice now- that they would add. Be patient! This is the team that worked on Splatoon 2, and look how amazing that game got with post-launch content getting added.

Spoiler

The fact you have to get a five-star rating on your town in order to unlock the landscaping feature. I don’t even have patience for that.

You do not!

 

[hoodathotit]

There's nothing to rant about. The game is perfect. Best game in the series.

I gave this post a like because I was certain that it was sarcasm. If it wasn't....well...

 

[PajamaCat]

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

Yes x100. I don't care how many bells they're worth, tarantulas can get off my island!

 

[rezberri]

i dont know if it's because im going crazy or not, but i keep hearing the wooshing of the wind when u get a present from the game. it's kind of annoying bc it'll trick me into running to look for a present, and then i look at the time and see i've just been a clown.

im also slightly upset with kody because he put the 2 fishes i gave him up in his house. i thought he just put up one, but no. he put 2. im gonna have to be careful with what i give villagers now. i dont want to mess up and give them a present or item that doesnt match with their home's theme. and the fish don't even look good; he put them on a skinny dresser so the tanks hang over the front part. how will he open his dresser???? kody i luv u buddy but u rly have no thoughts head empty.

He is! My favorite boi <3 It’s not that I dislike his redesign or anything, I’m just confused about it ^^;

You can see the difference best when he makes this face, especially his eyes

We get these house sized, bullet proof, rideable spiders on our walls (well they're freaking HUGE) here in Australia, so it's like you go to the game to relax after battling huntsman's on your wall all night, and are faced with house sized, bullet proof, rideable spiders. O_O

And yet apparently, Label will only visit your town to do fashion contests about 6 times with no Gracie update or anything as a result. The Nook's Cranny upgrades once. Kicks never sets up shop and is always a vendor that appears very irregularly.
...
And the tool breaking feature, I mean, really? What are we in, Minecraft?

what happened to labelle being apart of the able sisters? and gracie's luxurious store? what happened to nookling stores upgrading four times like in new leaf? why did kicks get downgraded from a shop to just a pop-up store?

also, i agree with the tool breaking feature being reminiscent of minecraft. implementing a feature from a survival game into a supposedly relaxing, laid-back game like animal crossing is the wrong way to go.

i can understand that nintendo wants people to refrain from time travel and are planning to release dlc at their own pace as the game advances. however, i find that the lack of buildings and vital special characters (with no announcement as of yet) could be demoralizing to players, especially those who have played other games in the series. i will be patient for now and just hope that nintendo has a large surprise in store for us with great dlc and features we want back.

somebody has to confirm whether gold tools break. there's no solid evidence to suggest that it does (or otherwise, either). i don't see why nintendo would make that a thing, unless they want players to craft 24/7, which was one of the most disliked features of pocket camp.
