The painting of the roofs... ugh. My favorite villager was Kitty, I was OBSESSED with her. Her entire acre was filled with flowers and had a sign with a heart. One day she painted my roof a hideous color, I don't even remember what it was, but I snapped. I dug up all the flowers and replaced them with pitfalls, crossed out the heart on the sign, and hit her with a net whenever I saw her. How could she do this to me, she was my favorite? A week or two later she wound up moving away, and I had regretted everything. I ugly-cried into my pillow for an hour. (Did I mention I was a kid? LOL)

[@Mordavus]

I managed to get my hands on this game last year and agree with everything you listed. When a villager told me they repainted my roof, I didn't believe them until I went to save and saw the roof of my house all black. I think out of everything, the forced purchase is what really gets me annoyed. I was blown away when I had over 20 grand in bells taken from me for some terrible item. Now I make it a habit to stash my bells every chance I get before I start talking to the villagers because that lesson hurt.

Yes. Another thing I dislike about this game is the early villager bedtimes. Normals go to sleep at 9, while lazies go at 10. You have a favor to do at 9:30 p.m. and Mitzi's house is your next stop? Too bad! Wait until tomorrow, if you remember!

[@jvgsjeff]

Good point about villager bedtimes, I forgot about that! Although you can get around it if they happen to fall asleep outdoors, which they often do. I wish villager bedtimes were always like in City Folk--no one is ever asleep before 1 a.m.. Perfect for night owls like me!

[@caracalfloppa4997]

The bedtimes are more realistic but I agree that it's annoying. Meanwhile in NH there's always someone awake it seems

I'm pretty sure one of the main reasons for having fossils need to be mailed out was to create a practical use for letters in the GameCube game.

It's a really nice touch that Blathers is uncertified in this game. It only made the rest of the games more relevant to the fact.

Also, I know the force trades were changed to villagers just offering to buy or trade for an item in your pockets they wanted and you can say yes or no, but...the villagers being able to see into your pockets was always weird to me...

i actually enjoyed having to mail the fossils out. in new leaf, i shove all my fossils into my letters and hoard them out of laziness until i reluctantly have no choice but to go the museum and get them dealt with. in this game i can shove them into a letter like i normally did, then mail them off and not have to listen to a spiel. then it becomes a log-on routine to take whatever fossils are undonated, if any, to blathers. it doesnt actually save any time but somehow the routine helps me

I agree with this list! I wonder if the Faraway Museum was just a gimmick to force the player to buy stationary/use the post office...because you really don’t HAVE to send villagers letters (even though the game strongly encourages it). A complaint I would add: the wishing well’s responses to “How are things?” While it gives the exact acre for too many weeds or too many/few trees, when you get to almost satisfactory it just says “with a little more effort things could be great”, like what??? Can’t you just tell me what acre it is I need to work on! Instead of chopping/growing more trees to try and fix it and usually end up just making it worse!

[@coolmanjack1995]

I think it was definitely a gimmick to make you use the post office because I know I myself only used the post office for fossils really. Idk maybe I sent a letter once or twice to a villager, but that's about it. I think later games gave you more incentive to use the post office

I know people miss the sassy animals from the older games, but honestly I'm so glad the villagers in New Horizons don't pull any of this crap. I'd take the passive, often too nice villagers over this any day. Wouldn't mind if we got the sassy villagers WITHOUT the stuff mentioned in this video though. And I'm glad the storage is a near non-issue in New Horizons.

[@lauradixon1347]

Here's one thing I personally don't like about this game: Lazy villager: Hey, is that a GameCube model? Can we please trade? Player: Uhhh, sorry, but it's really special to me. Lazy villager: But why? I thought we were friends! *Walks off depressed*

[@BoganBrett]

You can use the basement as it doesn't count towards your HHA score.

[@LPSfan-vs4pc]

Here are a few things I hate about the GC version of Animal Crossing. I hate how Rover comes to talk to you at the train while you're traveling to another town. For me, this is time-consuming. I hate how Tom Nook gives you raffle tickets when you buy something at the store because the raffle tickets take up inventory space. I hate how villagers get angry at you when you talk to them constantly. It's actually not a big deal, but I just like talking to my favorite villagers a lot. Lastly, I hate how Tom Nook forces you to join the HRA. It bothers me how the HRA constantly complains about your house and fill your mailbox with lots of mail. Even though Tom Nook gives you the option to decline to join the HRA the next day after moving in, he'll be like "You can't tell me what to do" and makes you join the HRA anyway.

[@yoshig5278]

Completely agree on the lack of storage! You really do have to be SUPER organized because of it. Meanwhile in New Leaf, thanks to the Welcome Amiibo update, you have enough space for 720 items (locker, storage room, and letters if you do that still)!

[@DVal-bl7hm]

When I played this game regularly, I actually made multiple characters, primarily so I could use multiple houses for storage, decorating, etc. And I STILL had a lot of junk littered all over my town.

[@cooladee]

Animal Crossing on Gamecube is my favorite in the series, but there are the same problems you mention in this video that I don't like. Storage is a big problem in my Animal Crossing towns. When it comes to storage New Leaf did it the best with the large storage areas in houses and the Museum 2nd floor as secondary storage. In my Gamecube town I would actually take many of the items and fill my brother's house with them. I agree with your list. Additional problems I have are things such as the permanent 13 villagers, The same 13 villagers for 17 years. I like all of my 13 permanent villagers, but I know some who hate a villager and the only way to get rid of them is to travel by train. And the 2 villagers that move out every few weeks, you can get one you like and it moves out in a few days. Adding on to the Farway Museum, I have a problem with letter storage, making it harder to mail fossils. Only being able to save using the Gyroid. There have been times I have been on the Island and I needed to stop playing and it took a few minutes to get back to the Gyroid. Not being able to shoot down balloons, they always have to land in a tree which rarely happens. The first time one landed in a tree for me was the Harvest Festival my 2nd year playing.

[@jvgsjeff]

Nice list. I agree with all of that.

[@christopher32074]

Here’s my list of what I despise in New Horizons. If you were expecting lack of NPCs like Brewster, some of you already had that feeling but that didn’t bother me that much. Now without further ado, here they are: 7. Only craft one item at a time if you have spare materials to craft more like fish bait. To remedy this, I just get a controller with turbo and I turbo the A button. 6. Can only eat one piece of food at a time. This wouldn’t be a problem with a bunch of Turnips or snack foods like Boba, Cotton Candy, or Ice Pops. 5. Certain shells on the beach look the same and it’ll take a while to get the shell you want for your DIY even if you go Island Touring. 4. Times where fish bit the lure firmly but when you reel in, the fish just disappears. 3. Really rare timid bugs like the horned Hercules. When you creep up from a small distance, the insect just flies away. 2. Not being able to group dug up flower plants to one space in your pockets. This becomes a waste in pocket space. 1. Really long announcements when someone enters/departs the island. This happens mostly in steamed treasure islands where you find your desired item and while doing so, the announcement interrupts your progress. When someone leaves, it goes to loading, saving, then the announcement, and loading again back to the game. When someone arrives, it’s much longer. First it’s loading, then saving, then you watch a cutscene of an airport display board showing the visitor’s name, the home island, and the progress of the arrival with 5 lights. After that, you watch the visitor entering the gate, then loading again and finally back to the game. On the bright side, the game saves so you won’t lose your items in case a crash happens but this is the one thing I dislike the most.

[@charlisbookbox]

Mailing the fossils was a royal pain, but hilarious if you accidentally sent the museum something else. I accidentally sent them a mop once.

[@shygato4989]

The faraway museum now has their very own Moppina! :D

[@sunmarsh]

These are all really good! The fossils are #1 on this list for me. It’s gotten to the point that I only dig stuff up after it rains for gyroids and any I fossils I pull up go straight to the DUMP. The only thing I would add to this list is the cost of the Post Office Model at 999,999,999 bells is absolutely ridiculous and unachievable.

[@jvgsjeff]

Yeah, I forgot about the post office model. I'll be lucky if I ever save up 100 million bells in my lifetime, let alone a billion (minus one). That requirement is INSANE.

[@sweets7737]

The major things I didn't like about this game was the lack of storage and having to mail fossils to be identified. Those annoyed me so much when I'd play the game

[@jackmartin6502]

I just got the gamecube one, and I've gotta say, mailing fossils isn't that bad. I like it because you can put the fossils on the backburner so you can assess them later, and clear out inventory space until you mail them. I always keep a few letter to the museum in my inventory, and just put the fossils in whenever I find them.

Unpopular opinion: I Don't like rude villagers. Some people say they miss how cruel the villagers can be and say new horizons villagers/Islanders are lifeless. I have some personal opinions on that and it's alright if you disagree. 1: after a stressful day of work, I don't want to get yelled at by a game. To me I like to play calming and relaxing games. The most action packed games I play are Pokemon (series) games and klonoa 2. 2: I learned an interesting fact, them being rude was for the western releases, in the Japanese games they are actually pretty friendly. 3: I never thought my villagers had 0 personalities tbh. Yeah sometimes they'll repeat things but they updated the game so it's not much of an issue. I learned that the more you interact with a villager, the more of a personality they'll build. Or that's what I've seen compared to those I ignore

[@Twinklethefox9022]

Also I am so glad they updated the game with more quality of life improvements. This game doesn't seam as relaxing compared to new leaf and horizons
