I wonder that as well. But yea I don’t think it would have been much different. They might have been planning for a slow release of things even if there were no lockdowns.
Yea if we at least had a touch screen it would better.

Basically this. Imo, getting rid of things from earlier games is generally a bad idea. It's like you're going backwards. That said, I'm okay to take away something, only to replace it with something better: example would be ditching the PWP thing in NL with just being able to place whatever anywhere for free.
I think it was one of those threads where I commented the same thing. That I didn't mind them getting rid of old content. But the idea is that they got rid of old content and didn't replace any of it. That's the main issue. The game is really watered down to what it used to be, unless you're really huge on designing.
The bug and fish tourney was such a big let-down. It's legit just Club Tortimer's fish and bug mini-game, but glorified.

goom?
I just feel like the devs were trying so hard to appeal to newer generations of gamers, and newer gamers in general...and that's a good thing to do...but at the same time I feel as if they didn't even consider the past fans. Cutting or getting rid of beloved characters is similar to Pokemon cutting iconic gen 1 Pokemon from the series. DIY is trendy, but imo a lot of the furniture in NH is ugly and there's no excuse for fan-favorite furniture sets to not be craftable or buyable. Heck, they could've even reused the models from NL and I would've been okay with that. And I keep saying this, but the game is so focused on designing that the animals feel completely optional. Tbh I'm surprised they didn't remove "ugly" villagers to make room for more cute ones.
Also, earlier in this thread, someone shared a twitter post of this person talking about how they were getting harassed by a smug villager? To be honest, I always thought that the smugs were charming and goofy with their flirtatious personality, but I fear that by the next AC installment the villagers will all have the personality of cardboard.

I wonder how many fans would consider purchasing the next installment of Animal Crossing, considering the monstrosity that is New Horizons. It’s not a bad game, but it’s way different than it’s predecessors.
I'm just one person but you bet that I'm waiting and doing research before I buy a new AC game. If I had known this AC was just a glorified designer sim, I wouldn't have wanted it.
The mailbox in New Horizons is definitely a step up from how it worked in past games, but sending mail is 20 steps down. It takes so long to send 1 letter, that after sending 1, I don't feel like sending anymore. In the past games, you could just buy a pack of stationary, write up a bunch of letters and then hand them all off at once to the post office. Even if they were to take up inventory space, I'd like to be able to buy stationary in New Horizons and just dump them on Orville when ready to send.
Agreed! Like, why the change to make things more inconvenient? That goes with ordering stuff too. Why the pathetic max of 5 a day? I remember in WW I could order tons, I'd just have to clear my mailbox to make room.
I agree. The lack of a touchscreen really threw me for a loop. It’s annoying to even type out during WiFi. I also forget sometimes how to even bring up the keyboard. I’ve had to search up a tutorial on google. I think a touchscreen would be an obvious choice, but I guess not.
On top of that, you could get your mail twice a day. It was so nice to order some catalogue items and look forward to receiving them later in the evening.
I know I would without hesitation
I actually love all of the changes currently being discussed.
Like the bug off is way better and I no longer have the clunky way of writing letters like in past games.
The only thing so far I have agreed with being a downgrade is the fish containers.
They used to look like display cases and now lots of them look like temporary housing while you wait to put them in in real tank. Not something you want to put on display
The “five items per day” is ridiculous. This game is so obsessed with decorating, I thought Nintendo would’ve jumped on allowing players to order more items. Now it takes about a whole week to order 30 items? That’s crazy to think about.
Yeah! That too! I looooved that! It made redoing my rooms in my house so much better.
But nope, they decided to take that away and make things more time consuming in order to hide the fact that there's a strong lack of content.

For real. The game's a designer game essentially, but yet, everything in the game goes against the player's desire to design. 5 orders per day, terraforming manually 1 square at a time, bare bones furniture and items, no bird's eye view style to lay down anything like fencing (or even terraform for that matter), no bulk crafting...
I don't get it.
I would too. While I am unhappy with some steps NH has taken, I've been a big fan of the series since the release of Wild World. It's about the only franchise I look forward to with each Nintendo Console/Handheld release. Every AC game leaves me wanting more.
I might look into it a bit more. I bought NH without looking much up since I wanted to be surprised and find things out as I went. I probably will get the next one.
The five items per day...don't get me started on this! This is why I time travel. Time traveling helps me get the items I need when I need them. Do they expect us to make 1 library wall in 2 days? I guess they do...its ridiculous like you said. If they honestly wanted to make a game for AC fans doing things like this won't help them.
Trust me, I also time travel. I always have in every Animal Crossing game, and that’s just the way I play. I stockpile on books whenever I see them in Nook’s shop, because the five items per day is ridiculous when it comes to books. It’s ridiculous period.
Its hard for me to see anyone not time travelling. From ordering books, magazines, etc to farming Redd and Gulliver items to moving out villagers. Time travelling seems to be the only way for me to play this game. I get it that they want to time lock holidays but at the same time it restrict players like me from enjoying a game that for intents and purposes still seems like its missing a lot of content and features.
This is why I found the whole anti time travel debate a year ago hilarious. It's almost impossible to not want to time travel, unless you have amazing patience. In that case, then congrats cause I am not like that lol.
