Why is this game so fucking soulless?

Why is this game so fucking soulless?

It's like they focused so much on crafting and outdoor furniture that they forgot to put everything else in the game.

Where are all the NPCs? There are barely any NPCs in this game. The only permanent NPCs are the Nooks, Isabelle, Blathers, the Able Sisters, and the dodos (who are essentially glorified menus and don't have any character or ever leave the airport).

There are 3 traveling merchants, there's CJ and Flick who are just zoomer reskins of existing characters, Celeste who is essentially useless and doesn't even get a wing in the museum.

There are no new NPCs. And yet

i’m having fun with it, but i can’t help but think about how much better New Leaf was.
New Horizons is definitely focused on decorating and... crafting.
i don’t even want to talk to my villagers because they took the soul out of them. they’re all SHIT now.

Persona 5 is better for friend simulator. Animal crossing is for women who like to dress up dolls

the villager dialogue is atrocious in this one

almost every personality type is legitimately fucking annoying (most likely a terrible localization, thanks NOA), they're all insanely repetitive too. I've only been playing for like 2 weeks and I get repeated dialogue to the point where I don't even want to interact with them anymore.

Persona 5 sucks.

Yooo wtf? Did you find this out? Didnt know about this

I had a villager stood next to a radio i have on a public bench singing the tune earlier. Was really neat.

>be me
>talk to a villager that’s sitting on a chair outside
>”hey user, i’m sitting! :^)”

He shows up on an internet error screen at least. Also, I like to imagine he's in the Zipper costume.

Is Lottie Dead?

Lottie is dead, but her amiibos live on.

WHOA SO HECKIN CUTE WHOLESOME 100

I can't believe Aris is actually playing this shit

He's really a 10 year old under that beard

Everything in this game is half-baked and obtuse. You can't even make a fucking diagonal path.

i dont understand why people compare games like this, even with all of those NPCs gone the game still is a lot of fun a lot of the features that make AC good are fused in other NPCs and the crafting table so it just makes playing it feel more efficient plus with all those buildings out of the way you can fucking put gnomes everywhere instead

>i dont understand why people compare games like this
Because it removed so much and barely added anything new to make it worthwhile. You don't have to include everything from previous games, but you need to take steps forward which this game does not.

>no NPCs

You haven't played the game we get it , give up already

>Because it removed so much

What is this "SO MUCH" that no one is caring about worldwide

post your copy of the game with timestamp please

Already conclude New Horizons has would especially where it counts , every intricate detail bringing the world to life.

This forced and failed struggle you guys keep pusbing is making past installments look bad, and that's a shame

Has anyone got the NookLink QR code scanner to work in an emulator yet? I've tried using OBS as a webcam output as well as pointing a webcam at my screen, but it never recognizes the QR codes no matter how clear the image appears. I don't want to have to buy a smartphone just for some shitty meme patterns.

>that no one is caring about worldwide
I don't care what female casual gamers think.

It's insane to me that you guys get your feelings hurt by imaginary animals being like "hey wow we keep bumping into each other" are you all just giant pussies?? Like what is the deal, their "oh hey we saw each other earlier too" dialogue is not NEARLY as aggressive as you morons like to pretend it is.

i wish villagers would shit on my lawn
sigh

I have a very bad feeling Nintendo will bring back NPCs throughout the year and will promote them in videos. Fans will eat them up as "look Nintendo is listening! Wow a coffee shop!".

Anyway, might as well run through each one.

>Mr. Resetti removed
Irrelevant due to autosave, but he does the Rescue Service. You don't actually see him unfortunately, but he talks the same way.
>Rover removed
Replaced by Timmy and Tommy. Makes sense considering their role in the "story" and introducing you to island life.
>Crazy Redd removed
Art is in the files, so probably a future update.
>Tortimer removed
No personal island, and he's no longer a mayor.
>mail pelicans removed
Mail is now postcards, making them irrelevant. The mail system in the previous games was infuriating anyway.
>Kapp'n removed
See Tortimer. No personal island. Travel is by plane now. Shame.
>Brewster and the cafe removed
He's in the files, along with gyroids. Probably a future update.
>Digby removed
Streetpass isn't a thing and I can't think of something they would have him do.
>Katrina
This one bothers me. Katrina's fortune telling was always fun.
>Lyle
His role has changed multiple times since his introduction. Due to permanent mail, there is no need for Lyle since the HHA will mail you every Sunday anyway. It would still be nice to talk to him for tips though.
>Gracie
Label's "story" has made Gracie irrelevant. Label is working on being an independent fashion designer. You can see Gracie's bow on Label's bag. I do miss Gracie's furniture and clothing though.
>Shrunk
The emotion system was refined so villagers approach you with a new emotion every day, rather than you having to remember to go see him. That said, I did enjoy Shrunk's jokes.
>Booker and Copper
In New Leaf they were used for recycling, which was changed to the recycling box in the tent/town hall. But having them back would make it easier to know who is in town.
>Pascal
Pirate stuff sold normally, implied to be CJ's dad.

Idk, I think this game has soul. I was overhearing a conversation between Dom and Margie earlier and ended in him warning her to be careful crunching her abs too hard because she might...toot. The exchange kept going and their reactions were hilarious.

Also my gf just got back from a town and was looking up for shooting stars when she got back. On return, you can see jet cloud streaks across the clear full moon sky, 5 or 10 minutes later they're a bit more fuzzy, then eventually they're gone.

There's just so much detail put into this game in so many little things. And maybe it's also that everyone's locked up right now so I'm getting to experience a new AC with all my friends together online and finding stuff out together and keeping in touch. It does feel special and comforting.

So why could you just have a villager of every type instead?

I wanna buy this game but fucking scalpers have bought all the switches. Fucking christ I hate scalpers.

Who?

All the little incidental actions the villager have now are really cool. Love to see them goofing with items I left on the island or singing or excercising or sprinting.

He's implied to run the rescue helicopter too.

There's a save editor by kwsch that let's you import designs and add them to your save. I didn't even want this feature when I downloaded it, I wanted to change my char's eye color, but it's a great tool.

The only thing I hate is they’re all talking about fucking bunny day and eggs and apparently each one only has two fucking lines about it.

there are 10 villagers and 8 types

HEY user THE OTHER DAY I HIT A COCONUT TREE... AND EGGS CAME OUT

New horizons has more soul than New leaf. NL has the shittiest soulless dialogue in the series.

It doesn’t even feel like there are different personalities

So what your saying is that you can't have only 8?

These.

70% of the NPCs were consolidated into other features, 20% of them were no longer relevant and maybe 10% were genuine losses. Were getting DLC this month so we can then confirm to what extent exactly the DLCs will expand upon base game. Im hoping it works like an expansion that will add a few NPCs, several catalogs of furniture and seasonal content with maybe a new feature. The Brewster and Museum datamine keep me hopeful but Im not holding my breath.

>Were getting DLC this month
what are you talking about?

>There are no new NPCs
You literally just mentioned CJ, Flick and the dodos retard.

No, 8 personality types.

Cranky
Jock
Lazy
Smug
Normal
Peppy
Snooty
Uchi

You can have 10 villagers.The point is youll start getting a few villagers with the same trait and they feel samefag as fuck.

Didnt the direct say we were getting DLC soon?

likely just referring to events, like the blossoms or the fucking dead rabbit

youtube.com/watch?v=ubRf4zyEvG4

Fast forward to 9:16. Theres gonna be an Earth day event with Leif and new content is pretty much stated to be in, not exactly what though.

Say what you want, but I've enjoyed it alot.

I think he's talking about the Earth Day event with Leif.

I want to see the post office come back(even if it’s just built into the airport) just so we can get twice a day deliveries back.

i got a lottie amiibo because i like her. she is the only animal crossing amiibo i have. she was the last one at the store when i went. that picture makes me sad. at least i have her poster in my room

WHAT

The first animal crossing is the best one. Nu AC isn't actually about being a game but being an autism simulator for girls and trannies.

>for girls

why does this always pop up it's the HIGHEST selling game since the DS version but somehow only girls are playing it?
