The ACNH Rant Thread

After looking at quite a few villager interiors, they look very much the same...like all penguins pretty much seem to have the same ice furniture, lots of characters have the same diner set, etc...I loved seeing villager interiors in NL, every house felt like it had so much personality because there was so much furniture to give them...the lack of furniture is really becoming more of a bummer the longer I play. And I kind of doubt that even if we get old sets back or even just more variety of furniture that they'll go back and update villager houses to better reflect their character. They're already bland enough from the personalities being watered down and slowly merging into one...now the houses don't even give them any character.
 
blathers talks way too ****ing much. if you're trying to fix up your town and a stupid fossil on the ground thats an immediate loss of 5 min of your time if you dont ignore the fossil. identifying is even worse. oh hey this fossil isnt in our collection yet. also spending a wholeparagraph saying thank you and another to say good bye is more important than asking the player if he wants to donate it. jolly ho

tbh i lot of characters have really dumb dialogue choice patterns.
using dodo airlines/construction services is tedious because of it.

not counting ables only allowing you to buy whatever you can fit on your body or being only to craft one thing at a time.

sigh.
 
Man, I feel bad finding new things to keep coming in here with, I swear I don't hate this game. lol

But, when you put the custom designs on the paths it completely gets rid of the sounds the path makes...which is really sad, but I guess that will free up some room in my designs now.
 
I have skipped forward one day at a time from April to mid-July, haven't seen a single soul at my campsite. I mean literally, not a single one. The campsite used to work, even at max villager capacity 10/10, and then suddenly stopped. I haven't had a campsite villager since before they added the Easter event...
 
I know it's been said to death already, but man it sucks not being able to buy everything I want in one go at the Able Sister's shop. I don't know if I'm especially dumb or what, but I have a hard time remembering what colors I already nabbed and I'll buy multiple of one color or forget the other color and it's just so cumbersome and frustrating. I wish this game had been properly screened for all of these quality of life issues.

Another thing that got me today is that if I made a mistake with house placement, I can't just slightly nudge it into the correct place. No no no, instead I must spend double the bells and double the days to move it twice, once to some random area and once to where I actually want it. :rolleyes:
 
Another thing I've been thinking about recently .. man it SUCKS that you can only have one island per Switch. I've been a good Aunt, letting my niece and nephew play animal crossing, and there's about 100 reasons why them not being able to have their own island sucks. On their side, they don't get a lot of the tutorial information, they needed a lot more help from me than they ordinarily would. Also, pretty much anything they catch my no-life butt has already donated, which is obviously disappointing to a kid.

On my side? Well, for one, I wasn't going to be overly controlling about their play experience so they ended up naming themselves "pixel gold" and "cute bunny". Not capitalized or anything. As I'm sure a lot of people on this forum can relate to, this is .. annoying. Seeing my villagers ask me if I know what movies cute bunny likes is immersion breaking and never fails to get an eye roll outta me (sorry, kids!). The kids are pretty good at not destroying the town but boy cute bunny loves stealing my picnic set, I always find myself having to put things back in place once I'm back on.

I'm trying not to be too concerned about my town, but no one ever touched my WW town or NL town so the change is unwelcome. I dunno, I do like seeing their houses near mine, I think that's cute. But the fact that we didn't even have a choice seems absurd to me. If I had to buy another copy, fine .. but a whole new Switch?? Cmon nintendo, get into the 21st century please.
 
-The lack of furniture variety in this game is actually insane. Tons of ‘realistic’ or themed items (bathroom, kitchen etc even digital scales like.. what lol) and seemingly little else. I got all of the items from the fishing tourney today and it was basically all fishing equipment.. made me miss the furniture set that looked like different aquatic animals. I guess this is why the rooms in your house are small now, there’s nothing to put in them. :b

-I completely hate the lazy personality in this game I just gotta say it ohhh my God why do they never stop talking about the “bugs that live in the floor”. If it wasn’t for Hornsby I would not have a lazy on my island because their dialogue is just so bad.

other than some minor technical gripes already mentioned in this thread (can’t buy multiple colours of same item in Able sisters etc) that’s pretty much it tho

And my god, there is nothing to do! I would spend literally hours on New Leaf (and that game didn’t have particularly interesting characters) but you could play mini game’s with your villagers, visits each other’s houses, go to the shops, visit the dream suite, go to tortimors island and play the mini games there along with the basic bug and fish catching.
But in New Horizons you just bugs and fish and collecting resources. I’ve not had a single villager visit my house or ask me to visit theirs. I’ve not had a single villager ask me to play a mini game with them or deliver a gift to some or bury a time capsule. And of course tortimors island isn’t a thing.

The lack of content in this game is really starting to get to me. I want to like it. But every time I boot it up I realise that I could be having a better time in New Leaf. And I’m so bummed cause I was so excited for this game.

I’m sorry for the rant. I just needed to get it off my chest.

I agree, I don’t hate this, but after a few weeks of playing I’m just bored. Mystery islands are stupid, same freakijg flowers and fruit as my island 90% of the time. What the hell is even the point of that? I’ve had one villager ask me to deliver something for them, that’s it. No villagers asking for projects to be built and I don’t like most of my villagers. Tools are a nightmare, and trying to visit people takes forever and isn’t worth it.
I think I’ll go start a new game in New Leaf.

oh my god you just made me realize how much i miss the goofy fishing tourney prizes from before. i want my jellyfish lamp back. that on top of no more ceremony at the end makes me sad lol, i had fun with the actual tourney but still... and god i get what you mean about the lazies, i don't hate them because they were always my favorite personality and i love so many of their designs but ugh, all the bug talk grosses me out, i don't get why they added that. i guess the idea is that they're lazy so they don't clean their houses and get bugs but come onnnn can't you just talk about video games or sleeping instead??

I was surprised how kind weird they made the lazy villagers this time around. They used to be just, well, lazy! They were very good-natured and loved eating food, but now they act disconnected from reality or super rAnDoM and it just doesn't make me feel good. They used to be my favorite personality!

Of course, maybe it's because they remind me a bit of my mom when she's having a psychotic episode and hallucinating. IDK. I know a lot of people find the bug dialogue funny, but it just makes me uncomfortable.

I let Spork move off my island, and he was replaced with a peppy. I thought I would miss having a lazy villager, but I actually don't at all. Unless I randomly find Zucker on an island, I think I probably just won't bother trying to get another lazy villager.

you know what's funny to me about this whole bug thing, actually? the lazies in new leaf specifically say when you're inside their house that it might be messy but it's "a cockroach-free zone". now all of a sudden they're obsessed with bugs and talking to the bugs that live in their floors.
