When a villager invites you over their house, they won't let you leave for some amount of time.

I feel like I'm being over-dramatic but I've actually refused to play the game at 2pm for most of the time I've had it. I don't know why they had to make that theme so annoying and ugly-sounding! If they were going to do stuff like that then why couldn't they give us an option to either mute the music or play older games' hourly music instead. Makes me mad.

Omg 2pm is awful! Now that you mention it, I think it's the 'intruments' they used. They're just not my cup of tea personally. So I guess any song using them would be questionable

I would love to have some music options. Having a mute option would be great when looking for balloons since I have a hard time locating where they are coming from. It would also just be nice to not always have the music playing. I like some of the music but not most of it. Would be nice if you could pick one song for the day instead of it changing every hour. Or if you could play a K.K. Slider song instead of the hourly music

This would be so awesome! And even a thing where you can lower the song volume a bit. That could also go for the waterfall sounds since they're crazy loud.

And let's not forget they made waterfalls obnoxiously loud. I feel like the music is okay, but honestly still don't like it. I just kind of tune it out and deal with it. Whereas with the other games the hourly themes matched the tone and really immersed me in the game with their whimsical tunes.

2PM sucks and 5PM is kind of alright but not in the sense for AC. There used to be a member here who did fan versions of all the hourly themes. This one is for 5PM. Like no offense Nintendo, but one person, a fan, managed to make a track I could get behind by remastering your crap track.

Again why this game never had a "Settings" option is questionable and its funny because if you go to your phone on the Nintendo Switch Online App and select ACNH on the Nookphone there is LITERALLY a "Settings" Icon on the Nookphone thats on your smartphone yet that is nowhere in the actual game. It just blows my minds its like (to quote AVGN) WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!

Yea not sure why they have it on the app but not in game. I don’t think they were thinking.

Yea I love waterfalls but they really are way too loud. Being able to lower certain volume levels would be great.

Oh man I really wish there were audio 'settings' options. The hourly music is just a tad bit too loud for me compared to the rest of the game. It especially bothers me that you can't hear the music boxes over the hourly music unless you are standing right next to them.

Yes Mabel, I want to enter a changeroom, you don't need to tell me it's open, just let me in. I think about how it would be like to have that pointless dialogue be cut everytime I enter the dressing room. Like imagine how awesome that would be if it were gone.

the amount of pointless npc dialogue in the game is honestly kind of crazy. like, i personally don’t mind mabel’s changing room dialogue much, but orville’s dialogue on the other hand is just... so unnecessary when you’re just trying to go island hopping or visit someone else’s island lol.

they made it so that you can get to harv’s island from paradise planning and vice versa, so i really don’t see why they couldn’t implement a similar feature for island hopping and travelling. a “go to another island” option would’ve been amazing instead of having us sit through the same 2-4 minutes of dialogue every time. island hopping is especially frustrating — at least for me. like, you really gotta sit through orville’s “by the way, i see you have a nmt” and “are you all packed and ready to go?” dialogue, him contacting wilbur, your character and wilbur’s gate animation, and wilbur’s dialogue when you arrive on and leave an island for every single island. i love island hopping so much, but the amount of unnecessary dialogue you gotta mash through to do it sucks.

also, sorry for kinda hijacking your original point LOL. you mentioning pointless dialogue reminded me of how much i hate orville’s.

Agree Orville’s dialogue gets on my nerves. There really is no reason why they can’t let you just go from one mystery island to another. He repeats himself too much. I also don’t get I can’t just write one letter after another. Why do I have to interact with the post cards each time.

Leif's Weeding Service is so useless. Like if you want it to be useful you must have more than 300 weeds on your island just so he can actually clear the weeds out for you. It costs 100,000 bells to do it. I mean seriously? This is only used once during the time when your island is still covered in weeds at the beginning. I had to plant weeds on my island just to make Leif more satisfied to clear all the weeds on the island. Its so dumb.

I have never used his weed service so had no idea it was that much. Definitely seems like a waste. I’d rather pull my own weeds for that price.

You're so right. They made Harv's island actually have a purpose in the update but with all of Orville's dialogue you mash A through, it makes you not wanna go. It's such a shame.

Also why does Orville kinda look like Bryce Papenbrook. Lolol

I hate terraforming water so much. It's s infuriating and it's so easy to make a misclick. Making waterfalls is also annoying.

Oh yeah its annoying, especially when trying to make diagonal paths for the bridges. I spent 20 minutes trying to get the right angle and width and that was a real pain.

 

[Lotusblossom]

everytime I put away a tool or change a tool whatever the character turns to the front. that's really annoying to have to turn it back everytime.

the flowers over growing everything
got to be kidding me

the fact that I never have enough room in my pockets

the fact that I still haven't unlocked storage


the fact that this game has taken up so much of my time only to be a waste of my life. made me miss out on important things and for what? I'll probably NEVER finish my island. takes so long!

Why couldn't they have changed the method of terraforming and decorating your island to how it's done in HHP??? I would've killed for that. Leave an option there to do it the 'old way' for those who prefer it but give the option for those who like things fast lolol. But seriously, hopefully they change it to more of a grid method in the next game.

 

[Shawna]

I know this is already been talked about, probably multiple times, but there will be a lot of times where I want to give a villager something, like a daily gift, but they will be doing something, and I would have to wait Lord knows how long -_-

It's funny that Mabel will kick you out of terraform mode so you can go into the dressing room, but a swimsuit draws the line. Like every time that happens when I had the diving suit on, I just walked right back out of the store. Inconvenience turns us off Nintendo.

The dialogue in this game is so stupid. Flick and CJ just need to shut up. I love how a majority of people were like 'omg they're so quirky it's so great!' and now no one talks about them because they realized their redundant and bloated dialogue sucks.

Or how Oriville will ask you twice if you really want to go to Harv's island or somewhere. If I said I wanted to fly somewhere, don't ask me again. 'So you want to go right now?' What kind of question is that? If I say no I'm just going to have to button mash through your crappy bloated dialogue again.

I'm almost convinced that this was just another way for them to artificially pad the game because they knew it dropped barebone.

If they would've just add the feature "I want to visit someone via Dodo Code" then maybe all that pointless dialogue of orville will be cut down. Whats funny is that when I choose "Local Play" when playing with myself Orville gets straight to the point and he asks you the island you are going to instead of how when you choose "Online Play" He constantly asks you questions of "How do you want to travel?" and "Hey would you enter the dodo code?".

it's been almost a year since i bought New Horizons {i only remember because i did May Day when i first played} and i've reset about 3 times, and my 4th reset will probably be selling my whole copy, since i am thoroughly disappointed and a bit mad at this game LMAO

Granted that this game is not my favorite AC title, I don't think I could ever reset even once. I feel like if I ever reset any of the AC titles, I'd probably never put the same amount of effort into it. Let alone if I even followed through and didn't abandon the game. Especially with this game with how I would lose all of the DIY progress.

On that note, why couldn't they have you sell the island to Nook like they made possible in NL? You get a certain amount of bells and retain all of your catalogue. That would soften the blow with having to gather all of the DIY again.
