The ACNH Rant Thread

[Mick]

I’m FAIRLY certain the Nooks Cranny upgrade wasn’t there before 1.1 so I’m assuming they’ll add them when they should be available to prevent time travellers unlocking everything right away- cause although it may be how YOU play, it’s not how the game is intended to be played and prevents any spoilers tbh...

That would actually be brilliant, having content waiting until it's possible to unlock it. On the other hand, if people want to time travel and provide info, why stop them? I don't care. It's not like there's major plot points to spoil.

I'm not missing the gyroids. They were butt ugly and unnecessary and having to dig up and sort them after every rainy day was a pain. Good riddance.

The crafting is alright I guess. Sure, it's a grind, but what isn't in this game? Fishing and bug hunting? Hybrid farming? Unlocking furniture and town utilities? Come on now, this is basically what we signed up for and personally I don't think it's that big of a deal. (Maybe stop using flimsy tools, if you're still going that route.)

Yup, the island tickets are kinda expensive for what you get. Can't deny it.

What I am missing is the bushes, I do hope there's a good replacement for those buried somewhere in the item catalog...

If there really is no cafe, it'll be missed.

My personal biggest annoyance is the fact that Nook's Cranny closes at 10. I'm a night owl. 10pm is when I want to *start* playing. Especially after being able to get to them 24/7 the first few days, that was something to get used to...

Lots of people seem to be stressed about the lack of shops... I can only assume they will be added in DLC

I think it was there before 1.1, I recall reading about it before the game was released. I think a reviewer mentioned it or something like that because people were freaking out about there being just one upgrade.

I thought I saw that Nooks Cranny was in the game, but there wasn’t any signs of upgrades until the 1.1 . Even so, since the update there has been signs of Brewsters I believe

Just cause you don’t care doesn’t mean others don’t. There’s plenty of people that don’t want to time travel - Id assume the majority. And plenty of people that don’t want to know all the upgrades and every little detail about the game before they unlock themselves. It’s inevitable that they would see spoilers had they been in e game from the beginning because of the internet.

There might not be “plot points” but there’s still stuff people could be spoiled on. Especially when people are data mining the game.

It's my second day of the museum and I had extra fossils both times. I don't mind having some extra to sell, I just worry that it's going to take a very long time to find all fossils.

IIRC, dataminers have found no upgrade to the store pre 1.1.

Sea Bass
Black Bass
Dab
Yellow Perch

Enough said.

You seriously like horse mackerels? Wow.... I'd take a sea bass or dab anyday over the Horse Macks.

Whoops, let's break your fishing rod. Now you've got to go through the bore of chopping wood and crafting a rod

Umm, that's wrong. A rod only requires 5 sticks, which takes 5 seconds to get from shaking the same tree over and over. No chopping required.

This is why you can't really give a game like Animal Crossing an accurate review score without having played it for a few months. Animal Crossing isn't a short experience.

You've played it for less than a week and are ranting already? Should we not all wait "a few months" before ranting?

 

[Mick]

Just cause you don’t care doesn’t mean others don’t.

Ah you got that backwards - I don't time travel because I don't like it, but if people want to do it, why not? Some people don't have the time, others don't plan on playing for a long period, and they don't really hurt my experience much by doing what they do.

In fact, I quite like being able to look up game statistics and facts that have been mined or found by people that skipped ahead. Again for those keeping track, that's a personal opinion. And if someone doesn't want to know what's ahead, I guess that'd mean avoiding all information about the game, as you would with other games? Which would cut out most of the interaction these games bring, but hey, like with time travelling: do what pleases you, I don't care at all

Don't get me started on the missing content. We're paying £50/$60 for this game, give us more than enough in the base game, Nintendo. To echo what others have said, it's like they took a masterclass on how to release a game Sims 4-style (which is horrible).

It’s just like Pokémon Sword/Shield, where they not only cut out many features unreasonably and defended their decisions, the game is also much shorter and has little postgame, with a price of $60 opposed to a price of $40 (like Pokémon Sun/Moon). And to restore missing content or to port older Pokémon, players have to pay even more. Although ACNH is not as grim, Nintendo is repeating the same mistake Game Freak did. But if they’re doing this to suppress time travelers and make things fair for everyone, then it’s forgivable.

The villager dialogue is abysmal. Shame.

Hasn’t it been bad in New Leaf too? I think villager dialogue was at its best in the GameCube Version.

 

[s_heffley]

Does anyone have a weird problem with the voices? I feel like they’re too high pitched. That’s pretty much my only complaint so far.

 

[JKDOS]

Can I rant that my town has 5 villagers, and 3 of which are pigs? (That's 60%) XD
They are so out when I get my amiibo powers unlocked.

It was.

Honestly the gamecube dialog was great. Sure it was annoying when villagers mugged you for your items, or 50% of your bells, or that they got extremely angry if you accidentally press "B" when giving them something, but they didn't seem like mindless NPCs

At night my character looks like Rudolf the red nosed Reindeer because they didnt think that maybe the noses of those with darker skin should also have darker hues to it.

 

[Alolan_Apples]

I really hope they make Nook upgrades optional this game. So if I get Nook ‘N’ Go, I would like to leave it as it.

Also the eyelids are white. This bothers me as someone playing a dark skinned character.

Why is there a limit on catalog orders :'(

 

[Hesper]

Glad I'm not the only one glad to see gyroids gone.

I didnt even notice that! Thanks for pointing it out. Its nice that they added darker skin but I just wish that had paid the same attention detail in this as they did with most other things

 

[Neechan]

There was always a limit (10 in nl) I’d say it’s to avoid overfilling the mailbox (but I seen we have 300 spaces for mail)

I’m sad we don’t have a mail bag yet..., I guess it’s due to the fact we send postcards as mail...

 

[twistinfate]

The amount of sea bass and black bass I fish is getting annoying. Maybe it's me but I just want to catch some new fish.

 

[marea]

We only recive mail once a day, right? I would love it to be more like in NL.

It would be nice if they brought back that feature from City Folk where Nook asks you what store you want and you can change it or leave it, that way you could change it to Nook n' Go and leave it at that.

I'm pretty sure that in every other Animal Crossing game, mail goes out twice a day; once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Idk why they would change it in NH.

At least they upped the value of Sea Bass from 160 to 400 lol

In New Leaf, I think mail was delivered a second time at 5PM, in previous games, it was about 6PM, though could have also have been 5PM.

I was extremely disappointed to find no mail being delivered in the evenings in this game.
