The ACNH Rant Thread

[Fridaynightcatlady]

Is the Nature Day event a joke? What event is this? I can sell weeds.... I can now plant bushes. Is that it...? Am I missing something? Pocket Camp events have more to them then this. Sorry.

I never player PC. What was the event like there? Tbf, I don’t recall Nature Day being much of an wow event in previous games either, but I could be wrong though. I would’ve hoped for some furniture

I was in the middle of catching a butterfly when Rasher called out to me and starting running up to me to get my attention. I caught the bug, turned to him, and tried to start talking to him but I accidentally hit him with my net! Twice!!! I felt so bad, and now I'll never know what he wanted

I don't know about PC. In New Leaf weeding day was a day you can get the weeding furniture set. I just expected something more. Hahaha. More furniture would be nice. So if they can't do furniture, do mini games or something. Idk. I guess maybe it isn't really an event anymore. Just visits like Kicks now. I just expected more of something they kept out until an update came.

People have had the same complaints about the character dialogue since New Leaf now. When Animal Crossing first came out, it was advertised as a social game, something entirely new, and that was the primary aspect of it. You could only decorate your home. Now it's like the opposite, and it's more of a town building game with some social stuff on the side. The series needs to do a better job of striking a balance between the two. A part of me hoped Nintendo would do a better job from New Leaf's stale dialogue, but they dropped the ball again and maybe even harder this time.

I agree to an extent but i see new dialogue all the time and ive played over 500 hours. I also would hope they would add more with updates, especially since they add update-specific diologue.

I can only theorize, but most people don't bother with such "useless" stuff as social aspect of this game, they more bothered about Cuteness of villagers and posting Cute pictures of their towns and cute villagers, plus Nintendo in their modern
manner is very pleased to appease this audience (less work for them). And as of now you see very rare complains about dialogs, and only recently you can post complain without being torn to shreds. Just some things to think about. Correct me if I wrong.

Is it just me or do villagers pick up each other's catchphrases a lot quicker to the point that it's getting a bit annoying?? I have had villagers that took on other villager's catchphrases within two days of moving into my island. I never even really get to see what their original catchphrase is because new villagers don't say much during their first day.

I think it really depends on everyone's appreciation on the game's dialogue. Personally, I love it and see nothing wrong with it. Sure, it can be repetitive but so were other games. It's a matter of how much people like the dialogue compared to previous entries (without clinging too much on nostalgia, bc frankly, while GCN and WW dialogue were good, they're not much different to what we see now; I'd definitely recommend going back to those games to check it out ). So, I think everyone generally likes the dialogue and don't see it as a downgrade. But I can see more dialogue being added with future updates (say, if Brewster is added, I imagine more dialogue will be included whenever villagers visit the Café).

My only rant about the game currently is the villager dialogue. It is better than New Leaf in my opinion - I got bored of New Leaf in under 50 hours because of how stale the dialogue was (it was my favourite thing in Wild World and kept me playing) - but especially the crankies are way too nice in both games.

I guess this is just the result of people getting ridiculously upset about even the tiniest bit questionable/not positive villager dialogues. Can't really blame Nintendo for this one.

I don't think they will add anything beyond couple generic event-related lines. I can't appreciate this dialogs, especially after looking to datamined dialog list. Call me hater, or whatever you want, but I think I'l pass on this Cute Diorama for some time.

If my villagers aren't going to give me the option to tell them what I think of their outfits, then why in the world do they bother asking me what I think of their outfits!? I don't remember if GC has the ability to actually give my opinion when asked and I haven't played CF at all (I bet they do, though) but WW and NL definitely do. So why on earth does Marina keep asking for my opinion if she doesn't. actually. want. my opinion. What is the point? Why can't I tell her she looks cute or that I think she could change like I could do before?

i changed sheldon’s catchphrase to ‘peanut’ two days ago. agnes picked it up literally today. i felt horrible about it, but i reported her immediately.

Not really on topic, but I wanted to mention that the cherry blossom event for Pocket Camp was so much better than it was for New Horizons. I had to time-travel to get all the cherry blossom recipes because Bunny Day ruined everything in NH, but in Pocket Camp everything was easily attainable. It looks like a similar situation for Nature Day, but I'm just happy for bushes honestly.

wish there was more villager dialogue. idk it's just interactions are low-key getting dry and i don't even talk to everyone that much- i hate it when multiple villagers use repeating lines bc it doesn't sounds like a villager exclusive dialogue anymore.
i wish there was more interactions or things you could do with your villagers

I didn't notice it still happens. No one yet in my town has a copied catchphrase so far and I hope it never happens in my town.
