Onions

AH DUN GEDDIT

i don't get it either OP, it's a fucking snoozefest. It's like Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley but without anything to do.

okay since no one will answer in the other threads

Same reason the sims is popular. no-stakes life simulator / dollhouse game.

You don't actually have to put effort into it

CLIP YOUR NAILS YOU FUCKING SICKO

The issue is that Animal Crossing fans always try way too hard to act humble, so they don't put any effort into trying to sell the game to people or at least explain the appeal of it. They just go "it's a comfy little town simulator teehee" and leave it there without expanding on it any further, leaving people to believe that the game has no point, but it does, it has many points. If you are having trouble understanding the game then I don't blame you, because it seems like no-one wants to try and articulate why they enjoy it.

I'll do my best to explain why Animal Crossing is so addicting:
The main gimmick is that it’s a living and breathing game that’s active and running when you’re not playing. Every time you come back to the game something has changed while you were gone because it simulates a real town 24/7. Think of it like an advanced Tamagotchi except instead of raising a pet, you’re living a second life in a little village populated by animal people.
Everything in the game has a unique cause and effect reaction, everything you do has a payoff that feels genuinely rewarding, and the whole game is all about setting up things so that when you come back the next day you will see how your actions have changed the game world.
You can't achieve or obtain anything easily in Animal Crossing so the payoff feels great and that dopamine rush is what keeps you hooked, you're always seeking that next high, the game is way less dull than it looks because you're always working towards something.
People don't play Animal Crossing because they just loooooove listening to the stupid animals talk and repeat the same sentences over and over, it's because the sense of progression in the game is addictive by nature.

There, you literally no excuse to continue asking this stupid fucking question now.
Trust me, Animal Crossing wouldn't be as popular and successful as it is if it was just a "boring and aimless town simulator with nothing to do."

Is this the hourly "durr I don't get animal crossing *drools*" thread?

It appeals to a wide audience. Simple as

Tits or gtfo

watch faggots ignore this legitimate answer and then continue to ask the same question of "what's the appeal?"
people like OP don't want an answer, they only want to hear their own suspicions be validated

because you can masturbate to the cute furry animals. :)

Better than the tri-hourly "durr i love soi crossing *drools*" thread

the rant you did in the first post was plenty you probably shouldn't post more

Fuck off it makes it easier to tap the screen
I am not a woman

I didn't write that post, saw it in another thread, but it'll make great pasta from now on

Thanks user, I'm actually beginning to see the appeal. Most people can't explain what they like about it which makes me not interested

tbf it's hard to explain the game as there isn't really any game quite like it. It's sorta sims-ish and sorta harvest moon-ish, but only vaguely.

>NOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST TALK ABOUT VIDEO GAMES ON A VIDEO GAME BOARD

fucking gross

This is a game for people with no goals in life, no desire to learn a skill or improve themselves. Animal Crossing is the epitome of what video games are - a waste of time. It cannot even be said that by playing Animal Crossing you're developing cognitive abilities, reaction time or puzzle solving skills; instead every interaction is meant to be carried out over a period of weeks.

'The dopamine rush and genuine feeling of reward' that you get by playing AC can be better had by going outside and planting a garden. You could easily put comparable effort into such a task and reap the real-life rewards of those. Try drawing for an hour a day, or reading a book. This game is a perfect microcosm of a world gone wrong, what happens when your dopamine receptors get fried from excessive sugar, salt, porn, constant stimulus. I bet you look at your phone while playing video games after smoking a bong while eating, right? In essence, it's the perfect video game because it doesn't even pretend to wow you with spectacle, fast gameplay or rewarding content. It knows exactly what it is.

Imagine talking about having your dopamine receptor fry up when discussing motherfucking animal crossing.
Which retard wrote this horrendous pasta? Was it you?

It's a capacitive screen, you can't operate it with fingernails.

>people say this game is for lonely people
but most of the fun comes from playing with friends? that's how it's been since the original?

The user above literally described Animal Crossing as having "your dopamine receptors get fried".

That's one greasy controller.

animal crossing is actually a game to recover from having your dopamine receptors fried
it teaches patience, as long as you aren't a time traveling nigger
log in for a few hours and do some things around your island then do something else

>Neo-Yas Forums trashing animal crossing
You never saw this happen when New Leaf came out. Too many zoomers on this board nowadays.

Everyone "gets" it, they just don't like it. It is a literal waste of time in a genre that is a waste of time.
The sin Animal Crossing commits is being a waste of your time while also demanding so much of it to even experience.
You can waste your time as much as you want if you enjoy it.
I think Yas Forums is just tired of nintendo fans more than the games. There is no reason why half the catalog needs to be useless duplicate Animal Crossing threads, or BOTW threads, or Smash threads, or Switch vs whoever fake console war threads.
The games are childish, but they are fine, there is a place for that in this world.
There is no place in this world for you the people playing the games though. You lot make this board worse in every possible way.

nah if that were the case then you would have seen this shit when new leaf released, but that didn't happen because gamergate and election tourists hadn't invaded yet
hating animal crossing is exclusively a newfag thing, you may think that's a bold statement but it's also a true statement

I rarely post anymore, but that's a solid response.

>rededit spacing
>rededit typing
>rededit structure
holy shit, go the fuck back to rededit already you nigger cum guzzling soiboi faggot

it's pasta

jesus fucking christ dude clip your god damn nails

have SOME self respect come on

I trashed AC back during the Wii release, stop crying that not everyone likes your tranny game

I've been here for 15 years, and if you actually read the content of my post I wasn't hating on this game. The people, the fans, are the problem. The game is fine but you people have some sort of cultlike mentality about everything nintendo and everyone is just tired of dealing with you.
We were tired of it in 2008. There is a reason /vp/ is its own board now. There is a reason people constantly advocate for a /smash/ board. You ruin all you touch and we just want you to go away.
We genuinely want you to have your own board for nintendo where you can be happy and post in peace without bringing everything down around you.
I loved and played DQBuilders 2 for hundreds of hours. I didn't create threads about it every few minutes, I didn't lash out at people saying they don't care about it, I didn't make Yas Forums worse just to make it worse.
You people don't understand that mentality at all.

Yes, I've been continuously mad for twelve years while doing nothing else.

Just like Splatoon on the WiiU, Nintendo fans need to justify their terrible purchase.

I think the point he's making is that you've never moved on.
And yes, that is quite sad.

Why should he move on?
What harm is there in an individual forming an opinion and sticking with that opinion?
Why are you passively prescribing to the notion of "infinite progress in all things?"

boo fucking hoo, dark souls is still one of the most discussed franchises on this board since it's initial instalment with 10+ threads daily and I don't see you crying about it
if you don't like to see people discuss a game and if it really does bother you that much then just ignore the threads or use the filter tool, you snowflake
I don't particularly care for smash but you know why you don't see my getting upset about it? because I never go into the threads, the only way you could actually be annoyed by them is if you enter them, which you must be doing because there can't be any other reason why games like smash, animal crossing and pokemon just really get on your nerves

People will talk about Nintendo games and you're just gonna have to deal with it, user.

>whataboutism

Don't be stupid, user. Calling something a "tranny game" isn't an opinion, it's an attack made to deliberately stir the pot and cause shitposting.
The fact that he is still out there after all these years doing namecalling like kindergardener obviously alludes to some deeply rooted anger.

It's quite popular among the transgender community.

He brings up a good point. You’re honestly just being a little bitch.
