Hard agree on the golden tools. Takes a long time to get them, they shouldn't break at all.

Maybe they are meant to be more like trophies than practical tools. I mean realistically gold is not a hard metal, not even a little bit--you can dent it with your fingernail.

[@KhanadaRhodes]

i agree, as much as i love how much we can decorate the entire island now, even down to our villagers' houses, i really hope they improve upon the other aspects of the game for the next one. we've got plenty of options for decorating now, so they could just bring those to the next game and focus on things like more dialogue and coming up with more daily activities within the game.

[@KhanadaRhodes]

also agree that wild world is the worst of the mainline games for the reason you gave. and i say that as someone who played it when it came out, it was such a step down from the first game. i mean heck, you get half the villagers that you had in the first game. i'm guessing there were so many limitations because of the switch to a handheld console, but honestly i feel like if they were going to have to trim that much content out of the game, they should've just made it for gamecube instead.

Getting mad at people for time travelling is like saying "your not allowed to eat that donut because **I'm** on a diet"

[@michellethaxton7786]

I disagree. People time travel because they don't wish to wait. They don't want to wait because they want things as fast as possible. They want things as fast as possible to be "first" or to have relevance and relevance is a huge deal in games like this. When the people who time travel do it they destroy the relevance of other's games. It absolutely DOES affect other people's games. It's just our culture has taught us to be "me me me I want it now now now the way I want want want don't tell me what to do!!!" But things have been changed due to the unfortunate folks who abused time travel to get money from interest and to manipulate the game. That affects others games as well. It's cheating and people will do it because that's our excuse me culture but my personal and unpopular opinion is people who time travel destroy the relevancy and surprise of others' games and Nintendo caters to and changes rules and such to stop those abusing the time travel option. So the immediate cry of "Let people play the way they want!! It doesn't affect you!!" Is just not true. But people will continue to cry it and will continue to find ways to destroy and cheat all games to help themselves because that's how the world is now. Chips!

[@maybemaye_]

@@michellethaxton7786 that's complete bull for 90% of people who time travel. I don't have time to play every day, I work and have a life outside of gaming, so once every few weeks I'll go in and grind the days I haven't played. there's nothing about that that has ANY effect on you or everyone else. sure a few people go on and play early but you don't get to be mad at them for playing their way 😂 no one is forcing you to TT but saying they're "destroying the relevance of others games" is the stupidest thing I've ever heard

[@TotallySquirrel]

@@michellethaxton7786 You do know some people can't play every single hour of every single day right? Some people work, some people have health issues, time travel is a way to be able to play according to what you are physically capable of doing in your life. I was really sick this past week, so there were days that I couldn't even bear the thought of looking at any type of screen. So yeah, I time-travelled forward/backwards a day here and there so i didn't miss out on anything, especially since I've only just started playing.

[@SeannaRose]

It would be nice if my island villagers would interact with stuff the way the HHP villagers do. The HHP villagers seem a lot more dynamic imo

[@ToaderTheToad]

Happy Home Designer had so much personality in the villagers. Heck, they even revealed that Lazy villagers read Manga in that game. I wish the mainline series took after HHD more, instead of Lazy villagers being like "Hoho food is very good and I have very many bug friends" all the time

[@ganyu2637]

EXACTLY

[@Hollzie_2814]

I agree with the villagers dialogue. I personally really enjoy talking with my villagers on my island. I get where other people come from saying that the villagers don't have diverse personalities and people mainly talk about the villagers' physical appearances, but I just don't really see them that way. I'll pay attention to what my villagers say when they talk to me and I'll kind of round out personalities for them. For example... Pashmina always talks to me about plants, so I picture her having a love for gardening. As a result, I gave her a garden outside her house. Thanks to her sisterly personality, I also see her as a very chill villager but would still sometimes tease and joke around. She also talks to me about failed cooking attempts, so I picture her being interested in cooking but she's not good at it.

[@sarap6862]

The main thing ACNH is missing for me is mini games. It would be perfect if the included those.

[@mad_dumm]

agreed, I would love it (I remember buying the Nintendo Console on NH bc I though that it had a mini game inside)

[@MindlessMisfit]

agreed, I remember in the beginning the villagers would ask you to play with them and give you a time limit to find a buried treasure but idk what happened to that interaction

[@regsun7947]

The mini games in NL are one of the rare times when I enjoyed mini games in another game.

[@Glockenspheal]

Expecting the game to become infinite is unrealistic, no animal crossing game has lasted forever as some people might lead you to believe, there will always come a moment when you feel burnout and run out of things to do, and that's ok, I do feel however New Horizons has by far the most content, and most QoL updates, despite the obvious shortcomings the game still has.

[@thePANDAfiles]

The GameCube animal crossing was my first animal crossing. I miss hating my snooty and cranky villagers because well, they hated me! And if they were ugly, then it was extra fun hating them until the lucky day they decided to leave. Now everyone is nice. It is hard to hate a villager who is always happy to see you.

[@B33LZ3BUBxxx]

Yeah, as a kid (WW was my first animal crossing game) I felt like Elvis was straight-up bullying me. One day he told me he had a nickname for me. I was excited and thought he didn’t hate me anymore until he told me my new nickname was “Skippy.” I was SO INSULTED LMAO!! Now I think Skippy is hilarious but anyways back in the day you had to actually break the ice with villagers and WORK for their friendship.

[@Boredom_Reigns]

Dude tbh...I agree all the way! I love how the villagers hated me back then, but now they can't hate you back, and it takes even more to get them to leave now too

[@2hr1ne]

I agree on the decorating thing, it needs to be more balanced. It's annoying that the villagers feel so robotic and have so few things to say and do.

[@briannabushman7677]

I think the villagers and the dialogue aren’t as boring as a lot of people say. As far as repetition goes, that’s pretty much any Animal Crossing game 🤷🏼‍♀️ so it kinda annoys me when people complain about ACNH being too repetitive because like...that’s kind of a staple of the series as a whole. The villagers were definitely more sassy in the older games but it doesn’t mean they’re boring now. With that said I also try to consistently have 5 male villagers & 5 female villagers on my island at all times, with at least one but no more than two of each personality. Having 3 or more of any personality does start to be a bit much and for me that’s when I tend to get bored of villagers.

[@LittleDemonInside]

This is probably an unpopular take, but I think they should bring back villagers being able to get angry or being mean. It would feel more like you're talking to an actual villager if they could have a range of emotions, rather than a mannequin forced to be happy all the time. Less unpopular take: I wish they had brought back multiplayer minigames so I could play that way with online friends. =(

[@wowjennawow]

this!

[@missawsum4918]

exactly, they never really feel real or like theyre my friends since theyre too kind. its like theyre pretending to be our friend just so we'll do things for them and ik thats not whats happening but it just makes me feel like that. lazy villagers arent too bad though since they remind me of children so dont see them being mean but in past games even peppys would be rude at times which i miss

[@lazy.crossing6658]

Your voice reminds me of the start of animal crossing era. I started playing during the first lockdown. And it’s nice to see the face behind all the interesting and useful videos I’ve watched. ☺️

[@catherinekazmierczak71]

Kappn was great but after a while feels like the mystery islands were a bit of a let down. Love the various weather patterns, shooting stars, and glowy moss and vines islands... but New Leaf had more co op playability in game because of Tortimers island. I'd love to be able to play mini games for rare currency and buy special items.. especially since it makes the game more enjoyable to play with friends!

[@MissMTurner]

I really liked the streetpass feature on the 3ds. I remember bringing my system with me to Walt Disney world and picking up all kinds of people's houses. Given the Switch is a hybrid console and thus portable, I would live a reason to bring it around with me if it meant I could unlock something like that again. It was a lot of fun discovering people near you sharing your love of the game.

[@wyld3r]

omg i forgot about street pass YES! MAN i miss that...alot of the 3ds games had it. It was so much fun to see who u passed, what games they were playing, and see what neat stuff u got for going outside xD Was always exciting leaving and coming back :)

[@B33LZ3BUBxxx]

Yes! I loved going home from a convention and exploring all the streetpass homes I’d collected throughout the day.

[@megsyworld]

Wild World was my first AC game and for that it’ll always be my favourite :) I must admit I haven’t played NH for a long time now, maybe about a year, because I just got bored of it. I agree with what you said about a game that combines decorating and interaction more. I’d like to do more things with the villagers as well as grow the world. That’d be the best of both worlds.

[@marywallace3620]

I definitely agree that all the villagers feel like mindless dolls we use to just decorate our islands with. I mean back in the day when I played New Leaf and Wild World, Chief would be my grumpy old guy who was secretly best friends with the peppy Rosie and they would get into an argument but then an hour later, they'd be talking again. Also in the older games, the villagers were always gossiping and always wanted to do something with you but now it's, "Oh hey, I was thinking of eating my favorite snack!" or "Oh I just wait until I become a pop star!" or "Yo, bro, let's do a milliion stretches and then have a race! It'll be good for our abs!" or "I like being alone, leave me alone...." I have mostly jocks on my island atm and all of them challenge me to something sport related.... then i have two lazy villagers who talk about eating snacks...

[@Magikalic]

I know that a lot of people want it, but I think if the game added the "mean" dialogue back in then a ton of people would actually complain about how unlikeable their dreamie is now. That being said, I do miss it when villagers would actually argue with each other and have these big extreme reactions. Like sometimes they'd get so angry or sad you couldn't actually talk to them for a few minutes. Now when they talk it's mostly exchanging catchphrases, but back in earlier games I'd always rush over for all the latest gossip.

[@regsun7947]

I'm still confused by people saying things are "missing" from the game. I, personally, don't want a copy of the older games with the exact same features. I can easily play the old games, why does the new one need to be exactly the same?

[@jewelxiat]

Yeah because f--k higher resolutions, better graphics, and taking old mechanics from older consoles that not everyone got to have and importing them into a console that they DO have, right? xP /lh

[@missawsum4918]

i dont think anyone wants the same game but some things need to be the same like npcs and some feutures, its not animal crossing if theres no charm, good dialogue and older npcs. sequels to games are supposed to improve on the franchise and yes new horizons did with the island decorating stuff but ever since new leaf the dialogue has been getting worse and new horizons removed most npcs that have made animal crossing what it is, i get that they wanted a change but i think og animal crossing players deserve something back too

[@hippopajamas]

@@jewelxiat in that case, you just want the old games remastered. Which is totally cool, but that's not what this game claims to be.

[@MarcusTalks1]

@@hippopajamas I don’t think that’s what they meant. As a long time player of the series, I thought NH was a nudge in the right direction for some people. I’d rather have a smaller focus on decorating and pretty much most of the content from the older games. That doesn’t necessarily equate to me wanting the older games remastered. Just have them evolve in a more natural way than, the game is just magically pretty much only about decorating now.

[@smOVERCOMINGITALL]

from my understanding you could unlock a lot of different things to do in the older games that you just can't do now. I find it missing the element of activities in the game. Even if you don't time travel you can basically get 3 stars, terraform and upgrade all of your buildings fairly quickly. once you decorate your house and island... what else is there to do? i think the core of the game is really missing that old interactive element people talk about where villagers would give you random tasks to do for them, different buildings and unlocking new areas or items. all you do in ACNH once you reach a particular level of the game is talk to villagers, give gifts and find bags on the ground. after that you just do daily tasks that at some point you don't really need to keep doing. especially once you are set on your island and like the way it is or looks, you don't really want to keep planting trees or fruit for nook miles or even go to new mystery islands to forage for things. im personally at the point in the game i have no interest in changing the way my island looks, my museum is done and idk how many times i can drink coffee for the 'fun" of it. i like my villagers, i have nook miles, money, i don't want to spend it on anything in particular. so all you do is log on, make sure your villagers are talked too, maybe if you are lucky find a new diy but even that gets repetitive to the point you don't get very many new ones from villagers or bottles on your beach. so, what do you do? after you are totally cool with the way your island is set up? the DLC made it fun for a little while but even then it got a bit mundane after you reach 30 houses and got your new things. What's the point in it? I feel like they dumped a lot of the old stuff people continuously played for and introduced everything the game has to offer WAY to fast. personally the museum should have been harder, the diving into the water was BUNK and a bit boring considering it's not like the villagers go out and swim, the DLC was cool and i still play a little if i want too but it's easy to get 30 houses and after that... nothing you get nothing from playing. i think that's the issue at the root. once you basically are happy with what you have done there is no point in playing and you get nothing for playing.

[@MarsJenkar]

I don't really have any hot takes of my own, but I do have a few responses to the ones that showed up in this video: With the tools breaking, I personally would feel better about it if we had more warning about _when_ the tools were going to break. Something like visible signs of wear as the tool gets used. That way if the tool is looking in poor shape the player can do something about it, even if it's just to have a backup at the ready. As for golden tools, either make them unbreakable or repairable (preferably even when broken) if you want players to use them! Re: time travel... If you play with time travel a lot, that's your choice; it doesn't affect me as far as I know. As for myself, I don't have a hard "no" on time travel, but there are a LOT of restrictions on when and why I will do it--basically, any time travel that would either go to a future time, or would cause negative effects on my island, is forbidden in my copy of the game. This limits the utility of time travel but does not reduce it to zero. (Example: I forgot to shop at Redd's ship last night, and haven't yet visited the game today... time travel to last night, after my last logout, and shop away. This is an acceptable use.) But an opinion that "time travel is _always_ morally right" is, by definition, going to conflict with my personal view on time travel. While I won't stop you from doing as much time travel as _you_ want, declaring that it's _always_ morally right seems disrespectful to the opinions of those who have serious misgivings about it, like me. Re: "boring" villager personalities--another part of it is that players only interact with the other villagers in a limited number/set of situations. For example, the first interaction with a villager in a day tends to pull from the same limited pool. Once you start talking with them more often, you reach into more and deeper pools of interactions. I've noticed people praising "new" interactions with some villagers that are actually not new at all--they've been part of the game for a long time, if only you'd known where to look.

[@mrselfdestruct7605]

You do understand you personally having issues with time traveling can exist alongside the idea its always morally right to time travel? Your personal morals on it do not affect or reflect the fact that in the broad sense there are no moral issues with it, IE people are allowed to time travel if they please and it does not mean theyre doing something bad

[@MarsJenkar]

@@mrselfdestruct7605 No. The fact that I have qualms about time travel--and I'm not _just_ talking practicalities here--means that I fundamentally _disagree_ about time travel being _always_ morally right. While I can acknowledge that others have the right to play the game as they wish, _and_ that their decisions don't affect me, and that it's not really _worth_ challenging people on these grounds... it doesn't mean that I think the practice is good or right in _every_ circumstance. And that's what the statement implies. _Always_ morally right is a _very_ high bar. If you can think of even _one_ circumstance where time travel is morally wrong, the statement is false on its face. If you say "always" in a case like this, you better mean it.

[@mrselfdestruct7605]

@@MarsJenkar youre putting way too much thought into this. Its a video game, and your Personal qualms with it are just that- PERSONAL ones that do not mean everyone else must adhere to them and they do not affect the general moral standing on fast traveling. It can be morally correct in the general sense at the same exact time as you and others having PERSONAL MORALS you adhere to that are the opposite. You personally having an issue with it DOES NOT mean its actually a bad thing people are doing that is immoral or incorrect, especially when the creator of the game series actively supports people who choose to time travel

i agree, new horizons is the first one ive actually really wanted volume control just so i can either listen to wild world music in the background or just my own music. i have gotten used to it now but still dont like it and theres also some other problems with the sound in general like waterfalls being really loud it wouldve been nice to have control over the volume. also another thing i wish they had is a way to listen to kk sliders music instead of the hourly music like imagine if there was earphones or something in the game

[@MusicWolfGX]

That’s kind of what I was trying to get at in my opinion that got featured in the video. Maybe the term “worst” was too strong, but the game just had a lot of shortcomings compared to what I expected from an Animal Crossing game.

I have nothing against people who want to timetravel, that doesn't affect my gameplay in anyway so idc, but I think it ruins a lot of the fun of ACNH. The waiting and seeing how the island gradually changes over time is a huge part of the fun for me, which would be ruined for me if I timetravelled. Besides, timetravelling helps you finish the game faster, which makes it so you have less stuff to enjoy.

[@poolelasssb]

Totally agree about the mini games and I absolutely love acnh and it's my favourite ever nintendo game. So much so I played every day since launch and even brought a second switch the oled switch to create a second island because I love this game so much. With the 2.0 and the dlc. I have almost 100 games for my switches now but I still don't go a day without playing acnh although I do get so jealous of pocket camp items and that there now on 5.0 would love them in acnh but who doesn't ever want more lol. I've always been a really creative person making stunning cards for friends and family. So this is the perfect game for me to create and have so many hours of fun and never get bored.

The first one is so true . I hope in the next animal crossing it goes back to how it was with new leaf where you pay off a public works project and you have to gain permission for every one. You can still decorate but very slowly and it’s not the main focus because there’s not a wide variety of smaller accessory decorations and no terraforming . I feel like there’s too much pressure to make your island look nice and that takes away the simplicity of the game

[@epic5895]

Personally I ddint really like the public works project mechanic in nl, I rarely ever finished any projects because there was no real motivation for me. However, I think the villagers would feel more like actual living beings (and not just accessories)if your relationships with them somewhat affected what projects you could do, maybe if you have a poor relationship with a specific villager you would be prevented from moving their house, it would be annoying if you don't care about that villager but it would give more purpose to interacting with your villagers.

[@Myshora]

I hate many things from New Horizons, but what I hate the most are dialogues. Unecessary repeated dialogue with Isabelle, Blathers, Tommy and Timmy every day, would love to have a menu where you have to press A two times instead of spamming 30 times A. This also adds to my hate towards villagers, I wish I could live alone on my island, I always feel they force me to do things, specially during my tasks, and they do nothing. I loved Wild World and City Folk because its exactly the opposite, if you didn't care about villagers they wouldn't bother you, everyone was at their own unless you wanted to talk them, without expecting a reward from them because you are being polite. Locking crafting recipes under social interactions is the worst that could happen to an introvert person like me.

I hate the linear progression in New Horizons. Literally the entire story is: (Some things may be out of order, I haven't played the beginning since I started) 1. Arrive 2. Go do the tutorial, set up villagers, build tools, etc. 3. Set up Nook's Cranny (After this I think you have to wait a day) 4. Set up the museum (After this I think you have to wait a day too) 5. Get the ladder and shovel 6. Set up plots for more villagers 8. Upgrade Resident Services (And FINALLY get hourly music) 7. Build campsite 8. Get 3 stars and complete Project K That's it. Like, seriously, a game like Animal Crossing shouldn't be this linear, or quick. I think that's the main reason most people quit; they felt like that was all they did. However, in past games, your town developed much slower and much more subtly. A lot of it was the player developing it on their own, while in New Leaf, you could actually make your town in a non-linear fashion. It didn't seem like a list of goals, rather just... Making your town better. THAT was the goal. Likewise, in City Folk, (Which is like either my favorite, 2nd or 3rd-favorite AC game) it wasn't much, but you could see it transform, but it was still a humble town. In ACGCN, I'll be honest, not much happened. But that kind of encouraged you to just... Play. Just hang out, have a good time. That's what the original was going for, but I can understand the newer games' goal of developing your town. Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

[@DarkWickedGamer]

I really like ACNH.. it's my first Animal Crossing game, sure I have heard of the older ones, but never played them.. The things I don't like about ACNH is the golden tools breaking.. but I'm okey with the normal tools breaking..but the golden tools to me feels like an achievement, like "you have worked so hard for this one.. now you don't have to worry about your tool breaking ever again." One thing that I really miss in ACNH i some sort of Map Maker.. or a new tab in the Island Desinger App that makes you, just like in HHP, move stuff around freely, like then you do the exterior of the vacation homes, where you can move around the house and stuff in the grid.. That would save alot of bells when you placed someone's house a square wrong from where you wanted it to be.. and then you have to wait, pay bells to move the house, found somewhere to place the house, then wait again, pay some more bells to move the house again to where you wanted the house in the first place.

[@lunarozegaming]

This is a popular opinion most likely I find Wild World the worst AC game due to the fact they took out real life based holidays and tried to put their own orginal holidays. The fact you have to be extremely precise in order to have a perfect town (like how close the trees are and how many you plant.). I don't like how players have to share a house, it takes away from each person having their own house design.

[@missawsum4918]

ive always let them away with these problems because the ds was limited on what games you could make for it but i do think they couldve improved on so many things and it wouldnt break the game

[@lunarozegaming]

@@missawsum4918 I think some of the problems were just trying to do something different, the house being shared by 4 players would make sense honestly with the limitations on the DS hardware

[@cartergamegeek]

My unpopular opinion is that this fandom has kind of turned into a lot of toxic entitled babies. Not everybody here is, but I feel like so many people are just never happy no matter how much they get. Everybody has opinions on what they want, but so many people come off like the opinion they have is a fact and that Nintendo is just trying to anger fans or ignoring them. I think this series only got better so I love where we are now. Yes I think New Horizons is better than New Leaf, but my point here is I feel so many people are acting like this thing or that thing is a birth right Nintendo owes them. I see so many people that just seem deeply entitled with demands on what they want. 2.0 was really good and yet so many people are still asking for more, something you really do need to stop and think of the good things you got. This is by no means saying New Horizons is perfect, but I think it does so many wonderful things that most people never stop to think about. Nintendo could have never given us 2.0 at all so I just want more people to slow down and thank them for all the good they did. I just get tired of people that seem to have a list of wants turn more into entitled demands. Just something to think about.

time traveling is actually useful because there are some people that come home later in the evening, the shops can close early (even though now you can have the change of schedules) and these people would never see a day of sunlight without TT😂

[@katieusbrownius]

I said it on the community tab and I’ll say it again here - I think flowers are overhyped. To me, ever since we’ve been able to plant vegetables, shrubs and even fruit trees being a thing, I think the flowers look like weeds in comparison. Especially as they just grow freely too, no matter how much you plan the layout.

[@slyar]

Your turnip price chart also resets if you time travel at all

[@DannyPageOfLight]

Personally, I don't really understand the sentiment that seems to go around the AC community that the villagers need to be complete a-holes to be complex and interesting. Admittedly, I came into the fandom at New Leaf, so I don't have the experience with older versions of the villagers to say whether or not the newer versions feel more simplified and one-note by comparison. But even still, people saying they want their villagers to "treat them like garbage" feels weird to me. Especially considering just how many people have talked about how Animal Crossing helped them through serious depression. I mean, if that's how you like your villagers, you do you. But if mine treated me half as bad as people made them out to be in the GameCube game when I started ACNL, I probably would've quit fairly quickly.

[@coffeejinx1502]

I agree to this. I mean I understand why people want to rudness back, but if it affected me there would be some nasty consequences.

[@BobBrownBIS]

I understand this sentiment, but man, watching a Jock and Peppy villager get into a verbal fight with each other, then both of them walking away with the pissed off animation is something that I'll always miss.

[@wyld3r]

i think its less about the rudeness and more about the change from rude to best friend. Just made things interesting especially seeing them interact with each other. They just needed to tone it (rudeness) down abit xD

[@MarcusTalks1]

I’d say part of the problem is some villagers took time to start acting “nice” to you. The cranky villagers would be a bit rude because of the mood they were in, but you became friends with them and they loved you. It’s the fact that my “cranky” villager moved in and is treating me like their all time best friend that feels wrong.

[@thecrazydisneyparksfanatic921]

I do agree on the take of the whole decorating thing at the beginning because that while I like decorating my island and everything else however there’s not as much for me to do after I feel like I’m running out of ideas of how to decorate my island and I feel like I’m losing interest

[@wowjennawow]

i desperately miss new leaf and 100% prefer it to new horizons. the only reason i don’t play anymore is because villagers will move out if you aren’t consistent :(

[@MarcusTalks1]

I don’t mind that so much. It’s the random moving in that’s annoying. I don’t want to pick where they move in either because that feels like too much control.

[@wowjennawow]

@@MarcusTalks1 i’m quite attached to most of my villagers and don’t want to lose them lol

[@MarcusTalks1]

@@wowjennawow well it’s mostly personal preference. The villagers moving away was meant to feel bad, because that’s how you react to someone in real life doing that. With NH they have so severely drifted from what AC was meant to be.

Well Bob's Gang, thanks for the video. ACNH is my only game. Been playing since launch. Played older games and pocket camp too. I have bought 3 regular switch games and 1 switch lite. Gave away 1 reg switch and sold switch lite. Down to 2 separate game systems and 3 characters to take care of. I have a couple issues. 1, why doesn't the golden casket open like the wardrobes and other storage things to change clothes? 2, why can't you give someone else a fish or bug? You can give them art. Why not the other 3 critterpedia items? Inconsistent. Ok that's my rant. Gotta get back to playing. Best regards from beautiful Wisconsin 😂

[@squid-knee]

Great video! 😁 I love that you’re expanding your content, I think you’re genuinely interesting to watch/listen to!

[@suddenenigma]

I'm gonna comment on all the opinions, sharing my own thoughts. Decorating vs Living opinion: I like your take on it. The reason I don't interact with my villagers as much as I could is because there isn't a lot to do. And the visits are usually at a bad time and get annoying (wish there was a Do Not Disturb option in your house). Tools breaking: It's to put emphasis on crafting. Still don't like it. But what if they added Platinum tools that don't break? There's a good idea for DLC that would sell quick. Time Travel: It's a personal choice. Myself, I only use it when I'm doing a lot that requires waiting day after day. Such as mass catalog ordering. But if it's only a thing or two, like a bridge, I don't bother. Too much time traveling takes away my enjoyment of the game, but so does too much waiting. Finished or not: I think it's complete enough to say it's finished, but I also think there's a lot of potential for small updates, even through paid DLC. A minigame island DLC would be especially welcome. Pocket Camp: It's about the money. Free PC is frustrating, and has become almost unplayable with the aggressive microtransactions. My mom has played since it launched without paying, and she's considering quitting because of them. I don't want this for NH. And I wouldn't want even one DLC pack with some of the items, because they won't/can't include them all. Dialog: Villagers also have an interest on top of their personality. It makes a small difference, but it is there. Such as Tia and Flurry. Both Normal. They share some dialog, but Flurry also has parts where she seems to have a lot of self-doubt, while Tia doesn't, having much more positive dialog. Vs. New Leaf: I don't think they tried to compare NH to other AC games. They just made it they way they saw it, and did a great job. Personally, I don't like comparing games, even in the same IP. Each is its own entity. My top opinion: Some features people want just won't happen. Such as batch crafting. It would be a coding nightmare, and just not worth the effort to add.

[@samyb4566]

For the tools, you can customize them in order to reset their durabilities.

[@MellowGirl2000]

The soundtrack sucks. I religiously played NL and I’ve played all the previous games so I can confidently say the soundtrack doesn’t FEEL like animal crossing at all

[@michaelraun4459]

For me, in NH, I feel like once I pay off my house and complete the fossil exhibit, I loose steam in wanting to play more. So if they had more "end-game" objectives I would be more motivated to keep playing everyday rather than once or twice a week.

So I have diagnosed OCD and I have such a hard time getting past the fact that my island is not finished... Like my museum is far from even one third of the way done, and now the added stress of making everything pretty for some unknown reason... Is actually preventing me from using the archipelago... I've had it for like ever since it came out but I have not used it because I want to make everything as pretty as possible... Or at least I feel the need to be more creative than I think I genuinely am.

I'm pretty sure even though Nintendo has mildly disinterested time travel before, that the time locked events were to prevent leaks and spoilers at first. I liked wild world but I 100% agree there was almost nothing there aside of the personalized fetch quests from villagers which I do miss

[@Pandacalifornia]

Yeah, I thought the creators confirmed time travel wasn’t considered cheating.

[@boocrimson7720]

Basically yeah. They try to "deter" people from it so they don't spoil their own experience of the game but they don't consider it cheating and never have. They want people to play their own way. Outside of maybe hacking :P

As I’ve only played new horizons and pocket camp, I think new horizons is wonderful. But some of the opinions did have good points. Thanks for a fun video.

[@blake_playys163]

One thing I do not like about the game is that non island reps can't change were buildings are and do certain side quests. This is because the Island Rep of my island stopped playing the game so now its just me working on the island but I feel if we get more building upgrades I won't be able to unlock them!

[@missawsum4918]

i know i have a lot of bad opinions about new horizons from all my comments but i just wanna say that i have enjoyed it the most out of the ones ive played and got the most out of it and thats because i do like designing and how diverse it is especially with the clothing since character customation is important to me, ik that does conflict with my other opinions but thats because i think the original idea for animal crossing was really unique and made it feel like you were actually there and you had real friends but even if i think its the worst animal crossing i still think its an amazing game. animal crossing is definetly one of the best series ever and while i miss past games i guess one positive thing i can say is at least they tried to go for a change even if they failed (well to most older animal crossing players they did) but i can see them improving on the series in the future and maybe one day everyone will be happy with it

[@JillMarie303]

[@sherbertshortkake6649]

I know you mentioned the high focus on decoration, but I was mostly upset at the amount of control. I was really excited for what I thought would be one of my first RPGs which ended up feeling like a high quality Minecraft. I wanted to be placed in the homely village and suffer the consequences of my villager friends and neighbors. Even after creating perfect islands there's very little buildings and having the village feel is so hard to get.

[@johnwerner69]

[@CallaSoreon]

My hot take is: I don't understand why people care at all about the mini games from NL. They were boring and repetitive. NH is missing NOTHING by not having them.

[@mutantbrain92]

I think people mostly want it for something to do when your friends come visit your island. When they show up, there's nothing to really do now so it would be fun to have at least something to do while they visit.

[@TheArtsyGamer_]

Unpopular opinion: you should have covered the Rose is blue/purple debate with a #blameCaito hashtag at the bottom. Also, I also agree with the first "unpopular" opinion, but I think it can be a personal choice to focus on the village living aspect versus decorating. I would LOVE more of the former being provided in the game's mechanic, but I agree - I hope the next AC game balances island living and island decorating a little better.

[@nufi20]

[@SixxOClock]

I personally find it a bit annoying that certain DIY recipes are only available through certain personality types. Like the tension pole rack DIY can only be obtained from sisterly villagers. I get it's like that to coax people into getting new and different villagers, but some people don't like certain personalities so forcing them to have a villager they don't like on their island just so they can try and get the DIYs they want is just unfair.

[@TFSHam]

You can get all the personality-related recipes through message bottles. Having the different personalities on you island gives you more chances, but you still get at least two daily opportunities (more if you want to try your luck at Dodo Mystery Islands).

[@SixxOClock]

@@TFSHam I guess I'm just super unlucky then because I very rarely get anything new in message bottles, and when I do get something new it's a basic recipe I somehow haven't gotten yet.

i personally love that animal crossing new horizons has a large focus on decorating your island, it’s what attracted me to the game and i honestly wouldn’t have bought the game if it wasn’t, that said i don’t think it matters if you don’t want to spend a large amount of time on it, there are plenty of other things to do, especially if you also have the happy home paradise dlc.

[@tanyadiedrich7851]

Bob's gang! Interesting....Personally, I'm obsessed with everything ACNH

[@FabioCapela]

You know, I dislike golden tools breaking in ACNH for the same reason I dislike weapons breaking in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, to the point I consider those two Zelda games the worst games in the whole franchise that aren't for the CDi "console". Heck, I rate those two Zelda games as much worse than the other two Zelda games for the Switch (the remake of the first GameBoy one and the remaster of the Wii one), and even worse than the original NES one (as weapons breaking frustrate me so much I actually have more fun with the oldest Zelda ever made). (And no, I don't consider the two Hyrule Warriors to be proper Zelda games. Those are blasted Musou games. As much as I love the idea of playing with other characters from the Zelda series, I can't stand Musou games.) Heck, I always considered tools breaking in previous Animal Crossing games to be a downside, and what convinced me all those years ago that time-travelling was the only possible way to play the game, as I would never accept being stuck without the tool I wanted to use just because my previous one broke and I didn't have a spare while playing after Nook Cranny's closing time. And yeah, I time travel. A lot. In fact, Nintendo locking the seasonal events so we couldn't go early to them through time travel made me stop playing - and distance myself from any and everything Animal Crossing related - in 1.1 and only get back to the game a couple weeks ago, when I was finally made aware that all seasonal events are unlocked for time travel and no further events are going to be added. If there's one thing I almost never do in an Animal Crossing game, it's to play in the current date, so for my play style an Animal Crossing game without all the festivals (and, thus, what it was before 2.0) felt like only half a game.

[@rickyv8709]

I agree that ACNH emphasizes decorating your island a bit too much. I think it’s fun, but it’s not what the focus should be. Terraforming, while one of my favorite additions, seems a bit too much for Animal Crossing. Character dialogue is really, really bad. Etc.

[@Reepicheep-1]

NH is my first, and I'm shocked it's only a '2D game' with no free camera and only one side of anything visible outside houses. Inexcusable on a console game since 2010, especially a game all about customizing and decorating.

[@lanepear607]

Honestly I probably wouldn’t be playing ACNH if I couldn’t time travel. For me, a single day can be very boring once I do everything I need to, and I just want to move on. Also I’m the type of player who plays constantly for a few weeks than forgets about it for a few months (I do the same thing with Stardew Valley and Minecraft) so time travel is extremely valuable for keeping my interest in the game

[@AdminAddy]

Bobsgang! (is it one word or two?) Also, imo.. I really really enjoyed ACNH. My only complaint will be that the decorating is still not perfect. I still can't put fences in between spaces- Can't make it perfectly line up with things.. I personally hate how the wall decorating is treated, not being able to see what's on the floor really sucks, but honestly- I still had a fun time with ACNH. I really hope that they take their time and not rush out the next installment like Pokemon is doing right now. PLease please please Nintendo, don't make Animal Crossing a cash cow... I hope they put even more effort into the next installment.

[@morganqorishchi8181]

They should've kept villager dialogue from the last game. Villagers in NL asking you about food preferences, asking you how you were doing and giving you different answers depending on your response, asking you about what flowers you like or if you believe in UFOs, etc. made them feel more alive and it would've been easy to copy and paste the pre-written dialogue from NL into NH, instantly boosting how much variety in dialogue there would've been from launch. (Also since all that dialogue is already translated into all the languages the game is localized in, Nintendo wouldn't have to pay any extra translators for it.) But honestly the thing keeping me from playing more often is that I've finished decorating and thus have nothing to do, and redoing any part of my island would mean crafting, which is a lot of mashing the A button. The lack of bulk crafting makes it kinda tedious to do any decorating, tbh.

[@zona347]

i actually really hope they don't make a new game any time soon. i think people are pushing too hard for it, when we only JUST got this one. it's feels to incomplete imo, and would be a bad market move on nintendo's part to just give up on this game the same way part of the fandom has seemed to. i would love to see a new game eventually. but i want to see what THIS game can continue to offer first. "no new major updates" or not, the game will still be updated. new features can still be added. it just won't be as big as adding a BRAND NEW cooking mechanic, or HHP. if you expect them to go all out every time, you'll be continuously disappointed. have patience and see how the game evolves

[@abracadabra8501]

I wish that popular ACNH Instagrammers would stop complaining that “anyone can make their island pretty now” when new items were added and stuff. Like I’m sorry I’m not very creative let me have fun and stop sulking I’m not trying to one up you, sit down. Their ego is hurt for no reason…

[@smOVERCOMINGITALL]

i'm not going to lie i legit bought this game at the beginning bc i thought there would be more... to do. don't get me wrong you can spend months DOING things but the first opinion is right, it's just about making your island pretty and then after you do that.... then what? you finish your museum, then what? you start over? I never played any other animal crossing game so idk how it use it be but i thought it would be wildly different than it is. I totally get there's no real objective to the game i guess, I just don't see how this game can last much longer without any major updates or any major changes. It had it's peak in 2020-2021... i find myself not even wanting it pick it up anymore. with that said i disagree it's a complete game. There could have been things added in more like stardewvalley to where it's almost required to follow a story or have objectives, but at a slower more open world pace. there's plenty of games who have this feature and the game stands the test of time. Especially if you can't add on islands or make your island bigger or unlock other area's around the "world." as someone who absolutely LOVED this game at the start, it's ultimately disappointing i feel like the only thing to actually do in this game is to spend and make money, decorate and then... i guess start over? lmao. as far as interaction i don'[t even see the point in interacting with them that much. from my understand there used to be tasks they would give you in older games. I just hate talking to a peppy villager and constantly getting the SAME dialog from that one villager. It's not so much that ALL the villagers have the same dialog it's that it's nearly boring the interact with them all together with the same 5 or 6 phrases they say.
