The ACNH Rant Thread

[SirOctopie]

I'm suffering from some of the worst NH burnout right now. I haven't touched the game in over a month. Not even the Toy Day and New Year events could motivate me to play... I hope the January (or whenever it's supposed to come out because the month is going to end soon) update breathes life into me again. I miss playing, but I just have no motivation to turn the game on. It feels like a chore.

I agree that Nintendo needs to add a sink for Nook Miles so they don't keep piling up. I think a lottery (fortune cookie?) system where you get a random item of a color you don't have yet for 1k (or whatever) miles would make nook miles have more inherent value. Or, ultra high-end furniture that sells for 100k nook miles (or more lol) each.

I can also picture Nook Miles being used to travel to Tortimer Island or even "the City", if either gets added later on.

They could bring back the lottery from ACGC, it's something that I talked about some months ago and I would love to see it coming back, especially if it was a way to get color-locked items of other colors and maybe, even some seasonal items (when they're out of season).

Being evicted at will because someone in the town hates you sounds very wrong though.

IRL that could be bad, in a game not so much. But if that's really too wrong for a game, they could have just made it like the amiibo method but there's no villager. You just talk to Tom Nook and he gives you the list of your villagers that have been "thinking of moving" and you choose whichever one you want to go from all 10 and then they move out. Much more simple and less aggravating.

It's so frustrating that we can only order 5 items a day. We could order 10 in ACNL and they delivered TWICE a day! The worst was when Cyrus imposed the same limit on the last day during wedding season as the other days. They should've let us order as much as we wanted since it was the last chance for us to order.

Nintendo real bold for waiting to release that update last minute when we all damn well know there ain't gonna be **** in it.

Also this promo photo as well!

Omg that's so cruel of them to tease that but not give it to us. Also, this is just me being nitpicky but I prefer the non-textured hair of the previous games and this promo pic.

i hate the snow now. i have been terraforming and making areas, trying to get my island up and running again and yet im finding myself not wanting to get on some days. yeah i could tt but i just dont want to, i wish their were patches on the ground like older games had, it broke up the stark white

i understand nintendo keeps adding things to pocket camp so people will continue playing, but why can't they also put all the adorable items in NH??

my sister just sent me all the clothes, furniture and accessories that will be added to pocket camp but that game is literally so boring i can't bring myself to play it anymore
whereas i'm constantly playing NH, but there's barely anything good in it

theyre made by a different team and theyre made for one thing; money
with a mobile game you need to keep updating to keep the userbase coming back. so you need to make items that will grab peoples attention and make them part with some money

nintendo is keeping things from nh i believe because they want to drag out how long updates will be added so that people stick around longer. doesnt make it right at all, i think rn that nh is boring too, but that just seems to be what theyre doing

Pocket Camp's items would bring NH up a notch. Like we'd be able to have so many diverse town decorating options.

NH has such a horribly small furniture catalog with so much removed from previous games. All of that needs to be added back. I also want to see the PC items, and I would be willing to have them available through a paid Expansion Pack.

Why is it that the beach towels don't act like a rug you can walk over? It has a barrier and you got to fall on it like you would a bed. It just feels weird. I had to pick them up off my beach and just sell them. Yet they can make the bugs Flick gives you in the tourney have no barrier and be able to be walked over? Where's the consistency?

So... Twitter's just starting to realise that New Leaf is the superior game.

AS THEY SHOULD!

I'm joking, but honestly the fact that people are defending Nintendo's crappy practices of releasing updates in order to attract attention and interest in a game that should've already had those features or at least not been priced at sixty bucks because it basically released as an early access... It's kinda a bummer.

lol I mentioned that twitter had New Leaf trending in the trailer thread and a discord channel I joined. I kind of knew why it was trending before I even checked to see why. I don't hate the game, but realizing it's been almost a year and this is all the content we have to show for it is kind of disheartening.

I expected so much more back in early 2020 and figured we'd be having beefier updates by December and now with March all I am expecting is the Mario update. And at this point I wouldn't be surprised if the Mario stuff is like the big bro/little bro hat from NL.

I'm about ready to quit this crappy game.

It's dull and lifeless.

NL was the better game.

Another useless update with nothing anybody has been asking for.

We waited an extra year for this, and now almost a year has gone by since it's release, and we've be given nothing back from NL.

Animal Crossing: Insidious Horizons

Done.

I like the fact that in the trailer thread where people stated how underwhelmed they were, some people took it as an attack against them and attacked the people sharing their opinion. Granted it wasn't as bad as other threads, but it still took moderators a bit too long to step in.

yea, I get that nintendo might be having a tough time with covid and PC has a different team... but how come they're team is able to work so hard on new PC items and NH team is slackin'? That's all I wanna know

Probably because with PC you have to pay real $$$ to get some of the stuff they're bringing out and with NH it's free updates. So I guess they're not as inclined to work for something that won't net them a profit in the future. I don't know.

I totally understand that they're profiting off of it more but... don't they see how it will skew their relationship with the fanbase? Nintendo is plenty rich. It makes me wonder why we are excusing them for being greedy. The game means more than that to us.

They're starting to mimic the tactics of other game companies like EA and Ubisoft, just as Sony did because it bags them extra cash. Why give players the full game immediately? They'll still buy it. If you do bi-monthly updates it produces more attention.

I can definitely see that. It feels so frustrating to me and almost insulting.
