The ACNH Rant Thread

It's not a huge deal but I wish custom paths could also have sounds like the default paths do. While I do like the custom paths I'm using, I am heavily considering replacing my custom paths with the default brick path because the brick paths sound a lot nicer.

Ugh yes! It’s sooooo weird walking over them
 
I find most of the special characters' voices incredibly annoying. whenever Isabelle or Blathers talk, I just wanna get it over with asap because I really can't stand how their voices sound. Mabel's is pretty bad too. sometimes I don't mind Orville's, and sometimes I do. and then Lloid is way too high-pitched for my liking. jeez
 
I love the game but I hate how so much of the game's content and new mechanics are locked behind a massive time gate and a "story" that railraods you harder than Pokemon Train Version. So much so that I started TTing WAAAY sooner than I thought just so I could get past it and actually play the way I want (terraforming and all that). I'm also left rather disenchanted from how much fun I THOUGHT I'd be having with how much awesome stuff is missing from NL.
 
It can be improved but let's be honest, you couldn't decorate a house in a realistic way with the furniture available in New Leaf.
maybe, but having both ways would be nice... i feel like now in NH you can only decorate a normal realistic house and i want all the fun wacky stuff back :( for me, i actually like quite a few of the new sets and items, i'm just missing the old ones and i feel like there's not nearly enough variety at nooks with how they removed like, every old set--where are my tables and counters? what do you expect me to put all these kitchen appliances that i find every single day on without them? and can i get even just one couch? why isn't the mermaid stuff included in the island game?
 
I actually don't mind the lack of furniture series, since I always thought that pushed people into creating bland, repetitive rooms. What is starting to bother me though, is that I can't seem to find any surfaces to put my stuff on. So many cute items and nowhere to display them! I'm three weeks into the game now, and I have 0 options that aren't either very generic starter furniture or meant to be placed outdoors.

Beds are also scarce, now that I think about it. Unless I pick something outlandish like the shell or egg bed, I'm stuck with my cot, the basic bed, or cardboard boxes. Not the luxury Tom Nook keeps talking about when he's trying to tempt me into yet another upgrade I can't really take advantage of anyway!

The best bed I could find was a futon. I like it, but would like to be able to customize it's fabric, which is impossible, unfortunately.

Every AC game has been like that to an extent. You had to spend a lot of time in NL waiting for shops to appear and upgrade, and let's not even get started on PWPs. I agree that that NH starts off pretty slow, but it speeds up quickly and at least you're not waiting a few days just to complete your tool collection. NH also has much better shop inventory early in the game. I don't mind that terraforming is locked at the start. It wouldn't be that satisfying to completely remake my island on day one or two. There will be plenty of time for that.

Also, for the bed topic, I was able to land an imperial bed from a balloon pretty early on which was nice.

I had a tradition of collecting the Robo set in every game, I was really bummed out when I found out that you can't get it in NH :( the missing furniture sets are by far the most disappointing part of the game for me

Are you sure you can't customize it? I found a futon, and the game let me customize the print on it. I used one of the designs I got from Sable.

But yes, I also wish I could find a decent bed. Luckily I found plenty of desks and console tables to use as counters, but just the basic bed and futon so far.

I'll need to try again and see what i'm doing wrong
 
*You found an Earth egg*

Screw it, I'm just not going to look for fossils anymore until Egg Hell goes away. Making fossil hunting extremely annoying.
Earth eggs aren't that bad, it only takes 5 minutes at most to find all of the fossils and eggs. Water eggs are the worst when you're trying to catch 5 fish for the nook miles task and you find 10 eggs and 2 fish
 
I hate that you have to wait a day for a home to relocate / can only move one a day. I just unlocked terraforming and I wanted to make a little neighbourhood but it's gonna take me 8 days to move them all ;;____;; (No do not suggest time travelling to me - not interested)

Yeah, there are some bad things like the villagers being in tutorial mode for a whole week, and not having an hourly music for a whole week as well. However, I immediately felt like there was so much more to do early on in NH than there was NL. Having the fishing rod, bug net, and other tools available on day one is great. Also since I started before 5am on release day, I was able to get Blathers in his tent on day one, and get him set to upgrade right there on the first day.

One of them problems I still have with the game, though, is how darn long it takes some shops/buildings to open versus others. Like Nook's Cranny, you placed the tent and it opened the next day. The museum and Able Sisters have the tent placed one day, construction the next, and then they finally open after that. I remember after waiting so long for Able Sisters (she didn't even appear in my town until much later than everyone else's) and finally getting to place the tent, I was so happy to have the shop the next day. But when I opened up the game the next day... Nope. It's in construction. *sigh*
