I felt like it gave an actual purpose to your starting fruit instead of determining bell cost and drinks your villagers hold.I know it's probably been said, but:
I want my perfect fruit back
I've seen that a lot in previous AC games, but not in New Horizons yet. That's unfortunate. It might be all the photos on the wall adding up.
Well to tell you the truth I tried to remove one photo and it still didn't want to work. What I had to do was remove the Frozen Scuplture and then place the rug down but then of course I could not put down the Frozen Scuplture. This is such a dumb restriction in the game.
I'm a day one player since 2020 and I played this game a lot. I am just over the villagers just speaking the same way as each other. It bores me to death and I really just skip through dialogue, gift them gifts so I can get their photo and then they are out of here. That may seem harsh but I have become too numb to their repeative dialogue and I will agree it needs to be improved. Also I don't care how ugly or cute they are as long as I get their photo thats all that matters. It just sucks that these villagers have become collectables and not much "bonding" with them since they keep talking the same topics over and over again.
The game is a designing sim and less a slice of life like previous entries. It's very clear they went this angle with all the features that are mostly about designing. It's a shame for those that want more, but a goldmine for those that like it the way it is. It's a great game, but I feel a bit superficial regarding everything else.
Nintendo: This is a designing game! You can design to your heart's desire!
With crafting in a game you would think they'd make something where you can salvage materials from pieces you've made and obtained. Maybe not 100% what you put out, but it'd still make it a nice feature that is available in other games that have features like this.
Sadly, it comes down to the one indie developer having actual passion for video game design vs a corporation that tries to increase profits wherever they can.
I doubt Nintendo's devs are passionless about their job (although I don't doubt Nintendo are trying to profiteer off a game), in this case I think it's more "this is a game about being on an island with limited resources. It is also a game that utilises a real-time mechanism and is designed to be played steadily over the course of multiple days, and also a game that encourages social interaction with others in order to get other resources for people, and also in addition to that a game in a series that used to have an angry mole scream at you if you reset the game if you made a bad decision, of course it's not going to have a feature where you can magically get these assets back"
