The ACNH Rant Thread

[Raz]

The empty line by the stairs. Some stairs refuse to put pathways, so there's the line that bothers me

Oh, now I see it haha

Yeah, I only use the wooden staircase and the normal paths so I never had this problem but it's something really strange. I remember seeing a post here a few months ago that this person had found a glitch involving a custom path and a bridge.

I can't stand it when people get so defensive over criticisms of NH that they feel they need to start multiple topics on why those of us with valid complaints are all wrong. :-/

i see this when i get on and its like....people have opinions. nobodies opinion is more valid than the others. i dont get why people feel the need to go and make a whole new thread over it instead of, yknow, putting it where it belongs??

also people can rant as much as they want. people experience things differently, just because someone rants daily doesnt mean they hate the game. i love the game so much and i see value in every single animal crossing game. people really out here thinking because they dont rant a lot theyre superior, huh

I can’t stand it when people get so defensive over their criticisms being challenged that they complain they are being unfairly targeted when in fact maybe the problem isn’t the people challenging them, but actually themselves, not because they have critiques, but because all they do is spam negative, not-discussion-constructive posts and while yes, their criticism are valid, and yes, they may say these things because they care about the future of the franchise, there comes a point where spouting the same issues you have over and over isn’t discussion inducing, but rather polarizing and seemingly a cry for attention and sympathy, so when people start to get a bit fed up with this negative attitude, they decide that even after all their instigating, they are the victim. :-/

at the end of the day people can post what they want, whether it be a rant or not. not every post has to start a discussion, its a rant thread, people are just coming to vent about what they dislike.

jesus christ, i just saw the thread and i'm so. i don't want to say hurt but... uncomfortable, definitely, and like i'm not allowed to have an opinion on NH let alone express it just because it's """"negative"""". no offense to the staff, but maybe when people are making whole threads that are passive-aggressive and clearly targeted at a group with a specific opinion to make them feel like they're unwelcome on the forum, you should step in and do something. the thread should be removed, frankly, even if it wasn't by a user i've seen deliberately target and insult people who criticize NH in the past.

like i came to the forums because i had nowhere to vent about my frustrations and this seemed like a nice place for it, i dont even just stay in this thread and go out to other threads because i felt welcomed. but in the about month ive been here its gone downhill and im just starting to not feel comfortable. not to sound like a "victim" or anything, it just feels like people are going "you cant vent your frustrations anymore because you annoy me"

You're coming in to a rant thread to gaslight me?

Thanks for perfectly proving my point.

Trying to wish on shooting stars but CJ won't back off and I missed a bunch of stars while listening to his overlong spiel. Ugh, CJ! Get away from me!

no, no, i totally get it, and believe me when i say that thread is not the first of its kind. in the last few months, i haven't interacted much with the forum outside of the christmas fair because of it. since that ended, i've only come over to check this thread because i know it's not going to devolve into valid criticisms and frustrated people being unfairly demonized.

As someone who hasn't played past AC games, is there really a big difference between them in quality in content and such ?

the last games did have more furniture sets and items than new horizons has at the moment, as well as events (i believe over 20 events werent included in nh?) villagers have less lines and no backstory like in past games (thought thats been going away with every iteration of ac it seems)

i have a list in my memos app detailing the majority, if not all, of the missing features. the most notable removals though are definitely of furniture/clothing and NPCs though, with a large majority of both being missing. in the case of NPCs, some of their original functions were "simplified", and they were dropped instead of easily being given another purpose, and others were just... scrapped for no real reason at all. i suppose another big change would be tortimer's island as a whole, which was a private island you could visit whenever you wanted -- there was a local one, a national one, and an international one -- to catch summer creatures and play mini-games to earn medals, which you could then spend on items/furniture exclusive to the island.

tortimers island sounds so fun!!! i didnt realize that was a thing

 

[Poppies_92]

oh man, I also wonder why all the Nintendo items were also cut, as I seen on YT videos from past AC games. I know we're getting Mario Items in March, but I hope we also get items from Metroid, Zelda etc...

The best part of all was that it was always summer, which means you could escape the snow and catch sharks all year round.

tortimer's island was so great, and i genuinely cannot fathom why they dropped it in a game where they push for multiplayer so hard you literally have to trade just to encounter all fruit types. there were loads of different mini-games (mazes, a variation of whack-a-mole, various bug/fish/diving tours, scavenger hunts, hide-and-seek, making pairs, gem hunting) and they were fun enough solo but even better with other people. the island even had its own ABD which is hilarious to me given that you can't even access another town's ABD in NH. pretty sure it's also where you got the new (and now removed) tropical fruits like mangoes, lemons, lychees, bananas and durians.

 

[Boidoh]

I can't fathom why they removed all of those things in a game about LIVING on an ISLAND!

Man, sounds more fun then mystery islands...... Even when I got big fish island, most of my catches were from Sea Bass, Oliver Flounders and Red Snappers. It took me so long time to even catch an Tuna or Marlin.

ohhhh my gosh i could get those dang beetles i want

Oh yes. IIRC, you could make about 800,000 bells an hour just catching Beetles there. It wouldn't be as nice in New Horizons though since Nintendo extremely nerfed the spawn rate on everything.
