The ACNH Rant Thread

I really like Mabel and her voice in this game. She is a lot more cuter than previous titles. Is it possible you're more frustrated with the fact she stops you with dialogue every time you want to use the changing room?
I like Mabel a lot as a character! but the voice irritates me. I actually don't really mind the dressing room dialogue in and of itself.
 
I actually don't mind the lack of furniture series, since I always thought that pushed people into creating bland, repetitive rooms.

But what I'm confused about is that this new furniture is also putting people in a corner. There are only like 4 sets with 4 variations! Everyone's rooms are kinda looking the same. Far less furniture than new leaf, and there's no reason why they couldn't include both AND more....
 
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.
You did have to unlock things in NL, but NL didn't force you to: invite 3 villagers, build/place the store/museum/camp early on, invite your first camper, unlock hourly music with a building upgrade (leaving you to listen to ONE song for a week or longer, I liked the song but not that much), fill your town to 7-8 villagers, build a bridge and then spam your town with decor until you got a 3-star rating just to unlock the ability to use Mayoral features (or in NH's case, terraforming). If terraforming unlocked early on and let me build the island the way I want so I could place things in places I actually liked, I wouldn't mind the little storyline at all; I'd love it even. That would have made me greatly invested in my island's design. I think it's ridiculous for someone to say "playing your way wouldn't be fun" when the solution to that would simply not forcing you to play that way (y'know, like how the game forced me to play your way?). It's totally fine if you wouldn't want to terraform early on but that's no reason to lock us out of it when it could just be optional (letting us both play the way we like).

It's the fact that it forces you to do these things before I can build your island the way I want. Now I have to move everything around as I terraform which is expensive and time-consuming. I don't aim to have a perfect town full of dreamies within a month of playing (though saying you're not allowed to play that way is just being a gatekeeper), all I want is to terraform my island slowly as I build things up over the course of this year as I did in NL (which I played for 5 years). NL gave me tons of freedom so why is NH railroading me? I did not enjoy this "tutorial" part of the game at all.
 
I hate that when you move a building I can’t see what it would look like just a few spaces over because the building is still in the spot when I go to move it. I just want to add it three spaces back but I can’t because there’s a whole ass building in the way and I can’t stand in the middle of the space🥺
 
it feels like they cut half or most of the furniture in the game.. it kinda made me sad that most of my favorite arent in the game yet.. theres more small stuff than the main furniture items :/
I was actually looking into this last night and yea they're missing a LOT of the previous furniture sets and the ones that are there, all had name changes and a lot of the furniture was altered and some pieces are missing now. Like it seems Cabana is now Rattan, but it's missing the little bookshelf and the screen! The screen would have looked great in this game! And the low table no longer has the glass middle. Classic Series is the Antique Set, which mostly looks the same, but the loveseat is gone completely. The Lovely Series seems to be replaced by the Cute Set...but that's a little bit of a stretch considering how different the items look, it just has the heart theme about it, but the pinks were dulled a lot. I think it's a pretty set, but it's vastly different from the Lovely Series. And I mean, none of the original Series of furniture is really in the game by name, just a bunch of stuff that seems it was more inspired by the originals. It's really bizarre they took that turn in the game. Out of the 37 furniture series we had in NL only 12ish sets really seem to even somewhat be in the game and that's a huge stretch because I was counting the Wooden Set you craft as a replacement for the Green and Blue Series and that's only because you can paint them blue or green.

Sorry that was a bit long, but I've been trying to see what's going on and I'm really sad so much OG furniture was just canned completely and what does seem to be in the game seems to be more from inspiration than those sets actually being back. I'm just really hoping stuff comes back in the form of updates.

Yeah I do agree with you there. Maybe it’s just seemed more open because I haven’t seen as many interiors yet.

The sets felt very restrictive to me—especially because the HHA rewarded you for using them in the same room. That said, I do wish they were included again, since I did like a lot of the furniture individually.
 
What is with all the missing furniture in these games. It's ridiculous. I would guess there are at least 200-300 missing furniture pieces and it makes it so much harder to fill out your house.

But we got furniture colors hardwired to save files, aren't that good compromise? /s
 
Another thing I’ve realised is when shopping for wallpaper and flooring there’s no option to display it and it’s really hard to see the detail of it up close? I wonder why they took the display option away.

I absolutely hate this. It's hard to tell from it being so small and so zoomed out. Like, I've purchased wallpaper cause I thought it looked good from the preview, only to get home and find it looks stupid.
 
I had posted on this thread early on, but seeing the latest conversation.

I'm taking a whole point out of the game by just realizing that their OG furniture series is gone. Seriously.

9/10 for me. Just for the furniture.

Also, has anybody found that, our human villager has a very strange anatomy?!
I find the legs to be seriously ugly. They look WAY too real only to end in weird appendages. The feet and ball hands genuinely disturb me.

Also: the villagers, they're bland. af.
I had seen a lot of memes in the past and I started remembering that in wild world, the snooty villagers were snooty. They were mean until you befriended them.

I have a villager (Lucha) which I thought was a smug. But now I'm confused if he is a jock.
Uchi fuses with normal so hard. Even with Snooty. Seriously.

This will be major when the dialogues get old like they did in NL.
 
Had to rant somewhere - I opened my island to visitors to shop and get some DIY recipes. While I was talking to an IRL friend that dropped by, someone picked almost all of my windflowers. I wish I could remember who, but they just left me feeling frustrated and betrayed. Makes me not want to host again.

Other than that I’m loving things.

Wait, isn't only people on your best friends list (in game) allowed to take your flowers/furniture/other stuff? I thought that random people visit via Dodo Code could only shop, talk to villagers, fish/catch bugs, plant flowers/trees and shake trees.

They can’t dig them up and take the whole plant, but they can pick the flowers off the top apparently. I might have given them some I picked from storage if they’d asked, so it was shocking to find so many gone.
 
Why is Kicks just a random appearance? That is ticking me off. I loved getting new shoes in New Leaf every day, but if I want the ballet slippers I gotta wait until he shows up and hope he has the colour I need? Oh wait, I'm southern hemisphere so I have to also wait until spring in 6 months, it's annoying.
 
I love this game a ton and it's been taking up all my time lately. But I still have a few complaints that I really hope nintendo listens to the fans on and fixes in later updates. I will give them the benefit of the doubt that the game hasn't even been out a month yet (gosh that's weird to think about).

The crafting is annoying. It's a cool feature, but annoying. Mainly how quickly my tools will break. It's so frequent that I don't see the point in customizing them cause it feels like a waste. I'm not even sure if the gold tools (which I don't have any yet) are worth customizing cause if the other tools break really quickly then what about those? Also the fact that we can't craft more then one thing at once. Let me craft in sets!

The fact that I can't buy in bulk at the able's sisters. I get you can buy a whole outfit in one go which is great, but I want all the colors of this pair of shoes, LET ME BUY THEM ALL AT ONCE!!!

The watering can annoys me oddly? I have such an annoying time watering my flowers because I'm not used to how this watering can does it. That's just me mostly lol

The islands are annoying mainly for how frequently I get duplicate ones (same fruits, flowers, layout, etc.). That's just my luck though and I have gotten lucky a couple times, but not nearly as often as I was expecting.

Sadly, you cannot customise golden tools, and they too... break.
