There's nothing to do besides decorate your island and farm for bells or miles so that you can decorate some more. Everything is locked behind a timegated wall in some way, shape or form.
If the events are anything like egg day (a grindy piece of shit nothingfest) then wew it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
Memes aside with the copypasta list that is mad about no gyroids or Brewster, there's a serious problem with the lack of unique buildings or areas. They gave us sandbox materials and are asking us to play pretend, hence the people building coffee stands and other shit.
But the fans who have been playing since GameCube will continue to shit their pants the second someone points this out as a flawed game. I sunk 50+ hours into it and feel entertained enough for what I did but I can't imagine getting on everyday just to buy some rugs or see what 1 of 3 lines a villager will say to me (another significant problem)
Honestly at this point, isn't Farmville a better game?
Levi Walker
That's the hardest cope excuse to be popularized for this installment. The point of a life sim is supposed to be some level of immersion into whatever world. Even Sims isn't about decorating strictly.
Jordan Carter
The overlap in the similarity of game design between the two is pretty astonishing. Collect and decorate and wait real time for things.
Lucas Foster
go anywhere and people will tell you to play this game for 30m-1hr at a time. Don't try to power through the game for hours and hours or you'll feel the tedium. If you play the game at a moderate pace the game has a good amount of things to do
Brandon Diaz
Maybe Animal Crossing just isn't for you then. I have 100+ hours so far and love it. The game pretty much is what I wanted it to be.
The lack of content (buildings, NPCs, collections) is undeniable though and I do hope they will update all that shit back in. If they won't, it will still be a good AC, but definitely flawed.
Also this:
Levi Nelson
The longer you stretch out the game, the greater percentage of it is doing the same exact repetitive bullshit. You'll spend 30 minutes every singe time you log on finding your money tree, planting a new one, and also hitting all the rocks to find the money rock for money you don't need. You spend it walking the same routes to the shop. In a month's time, you may have played 30 hours but it was 15 slog hours repetitive chores. If it wasn't timegated, the entire experience could be more new meaninful things.
Isaiah Long
Animal crossing has always been like this and people like logging in and doing the same things every day with a few adjustments.
Brayden Myers
welcome to animal crossing faggot

>there's a serious problem with the lack of unique buildings or areas. >They gave us sandbox materials and are asking us to play pretend, hence the people building coffee stands and other shit. Yea, at first i was excited abotu furniture outside, but turns out it was in lieu of lots of buildings from previous games. They even removed the post office fcs
label showed up in my town and I think she's my favorite of the randomly appearing characters. Also her writing makes for some cute character growth.
also how the fuck did I manage to get 30 nook miles it's driving up me a wall how it isn't a multiple of 50 like it always adds up to otherwise
Matthew Barnes
I've seen that recommended before but is playing as little as 30m-1h so as to avoid burnout just a sign of a design flaw? Obviously everyone has a limit for binging something like an RPG or a shooter but there seems to be universal acceptance that this small window of time is the way to play this game so as to make it more palatable.
Like mentions, it seems like that window of time is accepted because the burnout is inevitable in anything beyond that.
Brayden Miller
>Decorating is literally the point of the game it was never the point of previous titles. New Leaf to an extent only
William Johnson
Nigga the game just came out, they're probably going to add a bunch of stuff in updates. I wouldn't be surprised if they already the next few updates ready to go.
Luke Brooks
So it's more akin to a routine someone would find in an MMO than anything else? Thinking along the lines of daily quests and other things that could best be described as "fun chores".
Brody Price
Have you ever even played Animal Crossing before?
Benjamin Fisher
ITT: mad as fuck snoy fans/PC masturbators can't cope with how popular Animal Crossing is. Don't hate, dilate.
Cooper Ward
You could not even get the coffee shop in the previous game until like a month in. They've already confirmed to be continously supporting this game with conent and villagers even speak about getting coffee.
That's never been a valid excuse nor should it ever be. Might as well call it early access then. Adding stuff once a few months or a year has gone by and content has been exhausted is fine. Stringing people along and drip feeding them things to do in an otherwise empty game is shitty practice.
Daniel Kelly
Ok. So I have literally never touched an animal crossing game before this one. My friend was super fucking hyped for it and got me to buy it last week after he had been playing since launch. I just got my museum opened yesterday and the second upgrade to my house as well. Thing is, I don't really know what I should be doing after that. He won't say, just keep playing. For what though? After this it literally just keep making my house bigger? Decorate it? Put villagers houses up and decorate them? Is that it? Real question from a real confused newcomer here. Did I get bamboozled into a decorating and fill the museum game?
Tyler Peterson
Anyone got a spare Cherry bonsai recipe? I can give either a nook ticket or picnic set recipe.
Angel Green
It is designed to be played for a small amount of time each day, though the first few days/weeks you can play longer. After that, it's getting to know villagers, decorating, earning bells. That's what it is designed to be. That's why people don't like time travelers and people who use glitches. In the end, it ruins the experience because you progress too fast and will get burnt out. Gamedesign like this isn't for everyone. For some people it's just not enough. That's totally fine. It's not a flaw though.
Joshua Reyes
I literally only check in just to talk to Sable desu. Her and Mabel are the only characters that ever grow throughout the course of the game. The villagers are just dumb robots.
Nolan Lopez
ITT AC fans attempt to derail the discussion of the games design
Ryan Cook
I abandoned MMO's because the grinding was so boring, but yet I seem to enjoy the grinding in games like Minecraft and now Animal Crossing. Why is that?
Caleb Gomez
The worst gaming purchase I've made in the last couple of years. This game truly sucks, even as a "slow based life simulator". There's literally nothing to do besides garden and that's shallow as fuck, just like the bug catching and fishing. The time mechanic is cool, but severely underused as the only thing to track is flowers and trees growing.
Jose Jenkins
What does to matter in a game like animal crossing where ypure supposed to be playing little by little each day?
Does it matter that Christmas isn't in the game currently when you wouldn't even experience it until December?
Omce this is all done itll have the most content of any AC by far.
Caleb Turner
Fuck you, I'm not going to /vg/
David Torres
Holiday events are the only form where this is acceptable. I'm talking more about shops, more fossils/fish/bugs, clothes and whatever else goes beyond the stretch of a day or week.
Eli Cooper
problem with animal crossing is that it improves on decorating but ignores improving villagers. could we at least get a bit of unique dialogue for villagers or give them a little backstory? the villagers all feel the same.
Ethan Miller
All this time and i found 2 sakura recipes. One was a duplicate.
Hey we're gonna have a limited time event with rare recipe spawns but we're also going to fill the sky with garbage that isn't it. The other balloons are still going to spawn though.
Oh and we still haven't fixed the bug that you can get locked out of balloons after 300.
Jonathan Jones
They did fix it. The only balloon that will spawn is the golden balloon once every 20 minutes instead of 5 and you won't get regular balloons back until you pop it.
Grayson Morales
>people disliked the bell grind new leaf implemented with town decorations >ok lets fix this by making materials everyone has to grind for
whyyyyy
Jace Williams
Then why are the rooms in your house so small? Why did they take away room size upgrades that have existed in every previous title?
Jordan Gomez
So you want every bug and fish to be available year round is what im getting?
Justin Watson
>binges 50 hours into a game >THERES NOTHING TO DOOOOOO shut up nigger
Jeremiah Hughes
>the rooms in your house so small wait aren't they still 64x64?
Hunter Bennett
I bet he's a dirty TTer.
Robert Phillips
Im pretty sure the attic and basement are already huge by default.
Nathan Taylor
It's been 3 weeks in quarantine numbskull Inferring isn't your strong point user
Bentley Allen
Well that's good at least. It still doesn't help me get my cherry blossom set but at least I don't have to worry about locking myself out.
Nolan Flores
>ITT >Completely missing the point of Animal Crossing.
Alexander Foster
Nintendo didn't predict the quarantine and supply us with enough content now they have to suffer the consequences >:(
Sebastian Rodriguez
>The villagers are just dumb robots. this, seriously it's awful
Jaxson Brooks
Main room is 8x8. Side rooms are 6x6 (fucking shoebox) and the upstairs and basement are pretty decent at 10x6 (I think)
I'm mostly complaining about the 3 6x6 side rooms, they're way too small. Everything else is fine though.
Mason Garcia
user it takes 30 days to get the 2nd store upgrade in New Leaf. This is a game you're supposed to play a little bit each day over the course of months, not 10 hours each day. If you feel like you've run out of stuff to do, feel free to stop playing. Theyll add more shit down the line. The next big update is in like a week. Half of AC is making your own fun anyway. At least for me it is. You're allowed to not like how these games are designed but a lot of people like it this way.
Elijah Morales
>Nintendo didn't prepare enough content for 50 hours of play over 3 weeks
Ftfy numpty
Wyatt Cook
>REEEEEEE THERE'S NOTHING TO DO I got a telescope and put it with the little campsite I made on top of a cliff today I don't really intend to make that a whole "thing" but the way it's slowly becoming one is kinda neat.
other than that I'm also having fun just getting new outfits at the able sisters all the time, even if it's a moneysink that's killing my ability to upgrade my house (but that's probably for the best since I still dont' know what to do with the living room, nevermind a second extra room at this point. All I've got planned and set up is the small bedroom in the back.)
Samuel Miller
Absolutely false. Here's the list of things to do in older Animal Crossing games:
>decorate your house/town >talk to villagers and run errands for them >hint bugs and fish >fill out the museum
And that's about all these games have ever has to offer in terms of activities aside from NES games on the Gamecube. All of which you can still do in New Horizoms aside from the less readily available villager errands.
Ian Peterson
>another newfag buys Animal Crossing because everyone else is enjoying it without having played the older games HOLY FUCK CAN YOU GAS YOURSELF OP YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE GETTING INTO
Ryder Morales
As folks have said, the game is intended to be played an hour or so each day.
Unfortunately for Nintendo, a global pandemic happened and now folks are stuck inside with nothing to do BUT play games and poopsock them.
Dylan Evans
Will there be a furniture store or something? For the last couple of days items in the Cranny have been quite shitty, and or duplication of what I already own.
Nolan Brooks
>and or duplication of what I already own. I've noticed this as well
this game has no fucking furniture
Chase Campbell
Yes, it's similar.
Jacob Bailey
Over 2,000 items were lost in the move from New Leaf to New Horizons. One thing in particular that's gone are all the furniture sets/series. That means no Modern/Lovely/Sloppy/Blue/Green/etc series. Which also means that staple items like beds, couches, chairs, lamps, and wardrobes are are all very uncommon and your choices from the ones that are in the game are very slim.
Lucas Rodriguez
Is it a legimitate discussion though? Animal Crossing is meant to be a game about routine, about decorating and talking with people you see, picking up shit and selling it to buy new shit. Don't like it? Good, don't play it. It is what it is, you don't "fix" the game unless you substantially alter it and there's no need to do that because people like it as it is.
People comparing it to Farmville are fucking retarded. If you honestly think that's a valid debate, you need to step outside of Yas Forums because this shit is toxic.
Andrew King
How the FUCK do I get to 3 stars? Isabelle told me the other day to plant more flowers.. so ok I planted a shit ton and even got different varieties to plant from a friend's island store. plant them all and then go talk to her and she still mentions flowers and how I should water them so they bloom.. next day I talk to her and she says you need more fruit trees and more kinds of fruit, even though I have all the kinds of fruit on my island, I plant a few more fruit trees.. and I go and talk to her again and now the bitch says I need MORE FLOWERS
I JUST WANT THE FUCKING KK SLIDER CONCERT FUCK THIS FUCKING BITCH CUNT FAGGOT
fucking thanks ive been thinking ive just been having shitty luck but it feels like there are no recipes in this game from about day 4 i was getting dupe recipes and items
best way ive found is tree shaking for new items (once a day and once on an island thats regular) and the amiibo villagers for new recipes
but man i need some fucking tables and shelves just give me some shelves fuck
Leo Kelly
She bullshits you until you have at least 8 villagers, right now she's just cycling through various things that raise your rating
Nolan Ramirez
I have 10 villagers
Dominic Lee
amazing how you brag about playtime and quote a post saying "pace your playtime"
this game brings out some braindead people
Aaron Bell
How do you get the amiibo posters?
