Well, the beans suck

[nightglow]

I read most of the comments here. Stories of the beans from NL sound amazing. Ive only played NH and thought the beans were pretty fun as they were but didnt understand the hype on the forums about beans. This was insightful to me.
I did see some complain about the size of the beans being to small to decorate with. I just wanted to share that I put mine near my crops by my workbench in my farm area and another on a table in a food cooking area. They look like they belong. I was also surprised to not see posts online using beans to pretend plant in farm photos or those with fairytale inspired island not try to make something with the jack and the bean stock story. Maybe later when Festivale ends?

They still make the little bloop noises when they hit the water and that’s enough for me. Everyone is being so negative about this game. Take a break maybe?

I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion about the game, but I also think sometimes people get so wrapped up in what's gone or different that it stops them from enjoying things that are great about the game (no hate towards anyone! Just an opinion I've developed after reading various threads.) There are things I def miss, but the game still has my heart. Where is everyone getting the beans from tho!?

You have to order them from the little Nook shop you access via your phone or through the ABD in the town hall! I think they’re still available along with some other limited edition items!

"New Leaf did this, New Leaf did that." Yeah, but New Horizons is not going to be New Leaf 2.0 and people need to realize that. I'm glad they do different things even for items that were in previous games. Change is good, not everything needs to be a carbon copy of New Leaf.

Take a deep breath, and re-read what you just said. As said in another thread, for many people AC (and life) is about the little things. These little things add up.

Was the thread complaining about the absence of the New Leaf campsite? No.
Was the thread complaining about the absence of Public Works Projects? No.
Was the thread complaining about the lack of Club LOL? No.
Was the thread complaining about the absence of that streetpass place with Digby? Absolutely not.
Was the thread complaining about the 3DS/Wii U items being missing? Nope.

So other than showcasing your disdain for those of us who appreciate the little things in Animal Crossing, what intelligent thought were you trying to portray with that statement?

"New Leaf did this, New Leaf did that."

The beans are just one item. They just function in an objectively lesser way than they did in the PREVIOUS ITERATION of the game that existed on weaker hardware. It's not psychopathic to expect at least the same level of quality on something like that.

This isn't doing different things. This isn't "change". This is a cookie cutter example of laziness.

Folks, it’s just beans.

Do you know that meme that’s like “when you hate someone so much, that everything they do is annoying”. This feels like that.

If you’re too annoyed about the game, take a break. And there’s is also a Rant thread already, btw.

Again - you're dismissing the people who enjoy the little things in life. This isn't "you hate someone so much, everything they do is annoying."

I don't see why "negative threads" also known as "anything that vaguely criticizes New Horizons" should be relegated to a single thread.

Exactly, if you want your precious beans back from New Leaf take a break from New Horizons and play New Leaf again. The amount of hate for small, trivial things like this in New Horizons is just becoming annoying and nitpicky.

I get that, it’s just hard to see so much hate on here sometimes. I’ll refrain from engaging in similar threads in the future.

I don't think it's hate. I think people play the game having subpar expectations, and somehow the game disappoints on that too! You know, you (and many others) seem to be heavily annoyed by the "hate" you read on here about this game. You could say that random internet users negative opinions on a game you like is insignificant. You could say it's small and trivial - but yet here you (and many others) are complaining about it. Have you ever thought that the same feeling you have about seeing these threads, is a similar feeling others like myself get when we boot up ACNH? When the game turns on, and these things you claim are "small and trivial" appear and just dampers our enjoyment of the game?

The user-made rant thread is unofficial and not endorsed by staff. Users are free to make new threads to complain about specific things if they wish. If you dislike the content of a thread it is better to not engage with it.

Preach!

No, this is terrible. I paid $59.99 + tax to receive free beans that, when hitting the floor, do not make a sound matching the note of F#, prompting a triple rainbow, doves to fly across my island, jump right out of my television, and swiftly zoom around my room as angels resembling Timmy and Tommy Nook sing a holy tune in acapella.

Currently figuring out how I'm going to refund a game that's a year old, that I've put 1,000+ hours into, and still play daily but with an angry face on. So frustrating.

I get that this was probably for the laughs - and it was kinda funny, but it also makes a mockery of those who enjoy little things. Am I personally offended? No. But I've made less condescending statements before and am pinned with words such as "aggressive", "rude", etc.

And no, the beans (like the updates, ha!) aren't "free". Nintendo hasn't given us any "free" updates despite being marketed as such. Almost everything in these updates (other than select few things that mostly happened early on) are staples of the series.

Simple: be a problem-solver and don’t play the game if you don’t enjoy it, just like I will no longer be engaging in these type of threads if I don’t like the content material.

I'm passionate about Animal Crossing - so that doesn't solve it.

And good for you!

Being passionate about AC means having to force yourself to play a game you don’t like all the whilst complaining about it?

Yeah, I don't get that.

"Look, everyone, I'm too passionate about a game, and there's this thing and this other thing in the game that I don't like, so I will keep playing a game that bothers me and then I'll go to a forum on the internet to tell the world how I dislike a game no one's forcing me to play".

Sounds very... 2020ish

It's people like you who insist that if someone "complains" about a game they don't like it. I "like" ACNH. I just think it has a lot of shortcomings.

I don’t really know what else to say to you other than: you’re free to voice your opinion about the game, but so are the ones reacting to your opinions about it. The statement I made about the rant thread was precisely because there’s tons of threads like this one (or yours) weekly or daily, so to me there’s no point in making new threads about complaints or rant where there’s one uniting all of them together. But the mod made its point and I have no other say in that, so that is that.

I don’t care if people like the game or not. Nor if you like it or not. Tbh, I don’t really care about you. I enjoy it, I play it (pour long hours into it) and my friends play it with me. I’ll still disagree with people who claim the game is barebones or push the “lazy devs” narrative onto a game where players are logging 2000+ hours in.

To be honest, I’m kinda over this discussion with you and I don’t intend to engage again. Good luck to you and I hope you enjoy the game or stop playing, or whatever.

Imagine playing a game you hate and complain about it but call yourself a fan lol

Imagine grossly misrepresenting people and saying that they hate a game because they have issues with aspects of it.

I know right imagine that. Couldn't be me lmao

but that literally was you? it's like you think criticism and enjoyment are mutually exclusive when they're not.

No. All I'm saying if you don't like something leave it alone.

think you need to reread what i said: "criticism and enjoyment aren't mutually exclusive"

 

[Cosmic-chan]

I read what you said. If you dislike something leave it alone. No need to constant hurt yourself and pain yourself playing a game you dislike. If you can enjoy the game with a few problems that's fine to. But if all the problems causes you to not enjoy the game walk away and put away the game

 

[Junalt]

Imagine writing a whole essay about how bad NH is compared to AC GCN on top of all your other criticism about how NL is superior about this or that aspect (many of which are not constructive - developers lazy, all furniture ugly etc), on top of saying in this very thread your enjoyment has been dampened by all these things and then getting surprised when people assumed you don’t like the game. You grossly misrepresented yourself in that case.

Something can still be good if something else is better. Just because I wasn't all peaches and cream about NH doesn't mean that I hate the game.

you didn't. people have the right to complain about, criticize and/or dislike aspects of something while enjoying the rest, and i'm not entirely sure what part of that is so hard to understand. your initial statement wasn't cut and dry a la "if you flat out hate everything about the game, stop playing" because i could agree with that, even if it's not my place to tell people what they can and can't do. no, you said (or implied, whatever) that people who complain whatsoever can't call themselves fans and/or shouldn't play the game which is a ridiculous thing to say given that, again, criticism and enjoyment are not mutually exclusive. you can do both, plenty of people do, and there's nothing wrong with that.
