It's upsetting that we're stuck with the 6x6 rooms and can't expand them any further

So far I got two colors of the basic fridge, maybe everyone can have a limited amount of versions as well?

huh, maybe, or it might be possible to find other colors from balloons/villager gifts if there's a chance you got one of your fridge colors that way? they do seem to be limited in some way at least but i'll admit all i have is anecdotal evidence from myself and my friends. either way, having to trade for nook miles items and not being able to reorder the other colors at all when you catalogue them is really annoying to me.

Slingshots take 5 hardwood to craft, while fishing rods, and nets take 5 sticks. Am I the only one who sees a problem with this?
What if we all report it to Nintendo as a "bug". It may get attention if enough people report "Help, Nook is selling the same color everyday"

Love animal crossing more than anything, enough to have a tattoo of it lol.
But LORD.
This is the first animal crossing game where I felt empowered to make my town pretty. So I ran with it.
And now...flowers are a plague.
I wish I could just rip them out of the ground. Or at the very least put them in storage? It's been so fun to customize but flowers make me want to cry. I planted so many initially without realizing I couldn't store them so now I'm having to dig up flowers I don't even want. I'd rather raze them and plant new seeds somewhere. It's ridiculous. Makes me want to cry lol
I'm also very forgetful and so switching between the DIY recipes to figure out the materials I need to pull form storage to then go to the craft table and realize I forgot another material or that there was another item I wanted to make.
It's so much to go back and forth between sotrage, recipes, and the table.

After spamming over 300 flowers around my town for both the Nook Miles achievement, and 3-star town, digging up all 300 for both cleanup and terraforming has become a huge nightmare. And there is nowhere to store them, so I am forced to sell them.

Considering axes break even if you hit "empty" trees, it seems to be expected.

Only 1 Nooks Cranny upgrade, no dreamsuite, no brewster cafe, no resetti "hideout", no police station, no kicks shop, no Leif shop, no museum upgrades, no Katrina shop, no Retail, no club lol, no diving, no paintings, no exotic fruits, no perfect fruit, no gyroids, no bushes, no club tortimer, no minigames, no Kapn shop, no Gracie shop, no town square, no room size upgrades
(Nintendo what am I gonna do with these overpriced closet size rooms)
No Katie, no post office, letters aren't physical anymore, more convinient but I dislike the change.
8 bridges, and incline limit wtf?!
Etc etc.
The game feels more like Happy Home Designer than a proper animal crossing game, feels like a demo, and it seems to stem from them wanting 8 player characters on every island taking up all the space... When nobody wanted that, in fact we wanted the opposite, and island per profile.
As much as I want to believe that most of these things will return in updates the 8 characrers makes me doubt it since they take up so much space.
The game have pretty much been boiled down to designing your island to be pretty, but have no features, it's hollow, just to have their crap local "multiplayer" and having support for ridiculously huge families to play on the same island.
Right now pre updates, New Leaf is so far superior that it's not even funny.

I can definitely see why this game was delayed. Almost all of the events are missing and Brewster/ReTail/Celeste and her observatory/Redd/All paintings/gyroids are gone.
Not to mention the villagers hardly talk and it's annoying. At most they will talk a whole 4 sentences. In the older games you could actually have a conversation with options to respond. All the villagers just kinda feel like cutouts with minimal dialogue

HSJFGKSHD SAME ugh it makes me so mad that they don't stack and can't be stored, i put some of mine on my beach since they can no longer breed there but it's just TOO many to get out of the way and digging them all up gets tedious. hopefully there will be an update so that flower plants either stack, can be stored, or both at some point but i'm not expecting it.

I dont think so. They still refer to the villagers as him/her if you want to invite them to your campsite with the amiibo through the nook machine. I invited Lolly yesterday and they called her a girl. I always thought Lolly was a boy. Idk why but yeah

The game does too infact ask you to pick a gender. Also, Isabelle will refer to villagers by his/her pronouns.

okay i just need to get this off my chest.. i have played every single animal crossing game (except for the game cube one because i don't have the console) and it made me so hyped for new horizons it isn't even funny. i talked about it non-stop and tbh now that its out - i'm disappointed. yes the graphic is amazing and i'm a fan of terraforming BUT there's so much stuff i don't like. here's a list of stuff i am not very fond of cause i feel like it
- the beginning is really slow without time travelling with no shops and only two villagers
- sooo many characters - just gone??? i mean okay but at least give us new ones. so many shops/services are missing and i'm devastated
- the focus is too much on crafting. the golden tools can break and it's definitely not just an optional thing
- the nook shop can only upgrade once
- there's basically nothing to unlock after a short time
- the 'conversations' with villagers don't even seem like actual conversations, just one sentence
- also villagers are easily annoyed by you
- don't even get me started on the nook miles islands. i only get my native fruit/flower and they are not at all comparable to tortimers island
- why are there no paintings? and why doesn't celeste have her astronomy office back? i wanna make constellations oop
- the multiplayer is lowkey boring because there's nothing to do
- the customization options are weird (like previous posts already said)
- the fish shadows are glitchy
i don't hate the game - i've still played for like 100 hours - but there's a lot of stuff i don't like. they had so much time for this game + the delay and this is the result? i don't think the updates will fix everything but let's hope something will change

The game simply asks you to pick a "style", an option which does absolutely nothing to affect dialogue or customization choices (outside of certain languages which are heavily gendered, but in English it does nothing) and can be changed at any time. Many people view this as you effectively not having to choose a gender because it's referred to as style and makes no difference as to anything! Villagers may be referred to as his/her but that's only because they do have definitive genders that were decided by the creators a long time ago. Human characters, however, are absolutely always referred to as they/them when pronouns are used for them. If Punchy talks about my brother's character? He says "them". If Marina mentions my girlfriend's character who visited? She says "they". He/she are never used for the player in English in NH and the "style" you picked isn't even shown on your passport.

Actually it doesn't! It now asks you to pick your "style" no gender indication just icons of a "male" figure and "female" figure - before New Horizons you were asked if you were a boy or a girl, they've removed that completely from the new game. Had no idea about Isabelle though, not fond of her so I try to avoid dialogue at all costs
Post automatically merged:
The villagers still have genders - I only said that they removed the feature where the color of their name is specifically related to their gender. Eg: Blue = Boy, Pink = girl. Now the colors are based off of the villagers general aestheticI dont think so. They still refer to the villagers as him/her if you want to invite them to your campsite with the amiibo through the nook machine. I invited Lolly yesterday and they called her a girl. I always thought Lolly was a boy. Idk why but yeah
