The ACNH Rant Thread

I deeply miss the International island and the cafe :(
Yeah, I loved Tortimer Island! It was fun to meet all the internationals. You met a few trolls who would spam and be rude, but you got the occasional nice person in the island. I really hope they bring the island back. It was a great way to meet new people!
 
I really hate how Isabelle just keeps repeating the same stuff about her personal life in her announcements. I wish we can just turn off announcements because she is really getting annoying
I just started playing Splatoon again because of the Championship here. Pearl and Marina have an even longer unskippable announcement. And every time you hop on that day, it goes through the same announcement and also on the hour when the online modes rotate.

I'm saying this because the NH crew also worked on Splatoon. So it becomes a lot more clear in hindsight. And also why they're probably so slow on the updates and the such because of Splatoon 3.

I agree!! -.-

if there’s nothing that actually has to do with our island/game, she should just say “Well, I have no announcements today. Let me load up the game”

Her announcements wore thin on me in like the first or second week. She never said anything worthwhile that I've accidentally spammed through her real annoucments and had to save a vid file just to rewatch and see what I missed.

Not going to lie, she came back simply for fan-service. I liked Nook's annoucments in the very beginning a lot more. I'm not sure if it's because he was outside doing them opposed to being in a office setting or that even though it was scripted, his announcements were useful. Probably a little of both.

I wish she would come for event days and holidays, or maybe a weeks before. Or even some sort of calendar on the phone

Does Isabelle even wear socks 😩 why does she have so many?? None of the villagers wear shoes or socks so it’s baffling that she’s constantly losing hers oh my goodness 😔

I mean seriously? Imagine if you turned on the news network and all they talk about is their personal life. Like come on talk about "actual news" instead of just speaking about your personal life.

What I would do to fix this is to make Isabelle say who the special villager is visiting (I know you can talk to your villagers about that, but its RNG with their Dialogue), tell us about how the Weather is going on, and for once in her life just tell us like what Nook's Cranny or Able Sisters is selling that could be a hot item or they have a sales discount. Its the little things that I don't ask for much, but at least it would bring life to her character.

This would really improve daily game play as well honestly. I mean I always want to know the weather first, and i NEVERRRR check the hot items so please tell me what to sell. And then she can talk about her parents for a minute 😂😂😂 (girl needs to WORK first)
 
@RoxasFan20 That would be so much more manageable. Hearing things like 'There may be a chance for snow flurries later this evening!' Or 'It looks like it might clear up this afternoon!' As in it is currently raining.

And she could announce the Nooklings having sales like you mentioned like they did in NL. 'There is a 20% off today until 3PM at Nooklings, hurry on over before the sale is over!'

But no, let's just hear how every show she watches puts her to sleep.

This.
I loved visiting Tortimer Island. When I was bored or just to see who was there. Met some nice people too. I really hope they'll bring a similar feature back to this game.

And while we're here:
There's a special place in hell for whoever made the outfit-wand system. It takes effort to make something so inconvenient.
 
I gave up on getting villagers pics. I've gotten them gifts and talked to them every day and they still refuse to give me their pictures. Not worth it since I can just get their posters for a lot less effort.
 
Every time I tell myself it's ok because all these missing things will be in the next game... I just feel dejected. Because after my experience with my $80 game where I can't do a bunch of things I did in the last game, and I still don't get basic things I got in the last game unless I pay even more, and my $300 Switch Lite that started breaking a month in, what if I don't want to be buying a whole new console next time?? Because the only reason I buy the consoles is for one game...

A bit heavy because I'm in a sour mood right now lol.

Well she does wear 'shoes' in this game so .... maybe? Also she needs some help if she keeps losing socks she never wears. Like why would you buy it if you won't use it?

Me too, although the trolling was (and still is) annoying, I miss it! Especially the nice person who gave me a toy hammer when I said I was having trouble getting one. Though if they bring it back, they might remove the rental axe and shovel so so people won't get trolled. Even so, I hope they bring it back even if it's dlc, so the dock has a better use besides catching 'rare' fish.
 
This shouldn't be a thing, the villagers sitting and blocking the way.
They do this when there is water nearby and it's annoying.

These pictures are old, but this is possible..
I haven't seen stair and airport blocking for a while, But I have seen them still blocking each other doors!

Oh boy time to rant about sword and shield... Wait this thread is for new horizons, well I have some frustrations.... Limbergs existince, just what were the devs thinking, okay so there are popular villagers, now may I ask how people think 1000000+ bells isn't scalping, like really, why do we allow this, next is the morning announcements... Isabelle we don't care about your sock or your tv show, also you can stand in resident services for 24 hours, exit the game, and bam she had time to go to her nonexistent home to find her sock, or watch a movie, and before you ask about her watching movies on the computer, if you go in to the building while she and Tom nook are doing yoga or something they will keep doing that, so she couldn't have been watching a movie, now, why do all the villagers have a skill and interest in the games code in at least the previous game ( don't remember which game), why are villagers of the same personality carbon copys, when there are interests and skills in the code, and finally, why don't kicks, Leif, and other visiting shopkeepers have their own store, like we have able sisters, why not kicks shoe store or something, this is even more annoying considering they had this in previous games, any way there's my rant... Carry on with life
 
Terraforming in a populated area is a nightmare! The villagers love to get in the way. I'm fixing up an area between my Airport and Resident Service building (they are kinda close to each other), the villagers are coming and sitting on the ground and Hazel running around (her hobby is play).:cry:
I would use a fence, but it will get in my way.

This bothers me so much, too! I don't terraform or place pathways that often but I swear every time I do my villagers flock to me. Any other time I play the game they're content to sit around under trees or hangout in the town square but as soon as I put on the construction hat they all rush over. I wish when we wore the construction hat it was like... a little forcefield, lol. Pushes the villagers away from our immediate area so they can't sit in the important spots.
 
Whoops not me commenting in the rant thread again.

I hate the New Horizons music. I hate it. I've tried to tell myself it's not that bad and insist that I don't really mind it but that's not true. For me, personally, I hate it. I don't like the tracks they've chosen or the direction they've gone in terms of composition with this game. The only exceptions really are the night-time/early morning tracks but I've only heard a few of those. They seem to have more of a New Leaf sort of feel to them, though.

An Animal Crossing "relaxing music" compilation video popped up on my recommended and that's why I'm here. I've been listening to it and New Horizons always sticks out like a sore thumb when one of it's tracks are played. Not all the games sound the same by any means - the games all did something a little different with the instruments but I just feel like New Horizons is a lot more different from the rest? Like this 6AM City Folk track is kind of giving me Wii vibes (like the music that the Wii homepage or store would have) which is definitely a little different, lol, and not my absolute favourite but I'd take it over the 5PM New Horizons track in a heartbeat. The 7pm New Leaf track just started playing and gosh it is so pretty.

Anyways yeah. Just grumpy again with the music direction they went in for New Horizons. It's not my jam. And it's fine if one or two tracks aren't my cup of tea because I don't expect to like everything but I can't think of a daytime track (so like 9-5 pm lets say) that I like in New Horizons. There's some I don't mind but none that I actively like.

You aren't alone there! While I think the music of NH, is ok ( I don't like it and I don't hate it minus the 8am theme which is the only one I like) I think they could have done better. I hate to be rude to the people who actually like nh's music but compared to the other games, NH's ost is like nails on a chalkboard (and don't get me started on the 2pm or 5pm theme cause you'll be here for 3 hours reading this rant. And minus 8am theme of NH of course) while the other games sounded beautiful. I think that if Nintendo wanted to make the ost different, there are ways to do that, and still have the ost sounding good.
