I Recently saw a video about 'new updates coming to Animal Crossing New Horizons', meant to look like a Nintendo Direct. It was fake, but seeing that video made me realize just how deliberately frustrating and obtuse Animal Crossing actually is. Just a lot of forced redundancy and purposefully clunky controls meant to make you go slower and struggle more. I just went looking for it and apparently it doesn't exist anymore (It was either deleted or went private; Nintendo probably filed a lawsuit because...well...I love Nintendo games and products but seriously fuck their iron grip on their IPs and complete lack of respect for their audience) But yeah, little things were always slightly naggy to me in this game, and seeing about a dozen of them outright laid out for us and all the remarkably simple ways the game could be made better made me realize....nope. I went from playing this game 5-8 hours a day and loving it to...I think I kinda hate it now just for how little it respects its players. I put over 75 hours into the game making it I think my 5th most played game on the Switch...and I might never touch it again now that I really saw how deliberately frustrating and time-wasting the game is. |
You cynical, entitled brat. How dare you complain about this game that Nintendo clearly over delivered on. You should be grateful to have payed $60 for this great act of generosity. You need a shift in perspective.
More seriously, this is pretty funny coming from you. "Do as I say, not as I do" and all that I suppose. The thing is, the comment of yours I'm parodying was over a game with a situation very different to this one. There was no sudden shift in quality or content standards. It was clear from the get go that New Horizons was going to be an Animal Crossing game that improves on it's predecessors, but is still very much an Animal Crossing game a.k.a. slow actionless tactile chore simulator. You only have yourself to blame for not realizing this before purchasing. I'm not just trying to ridicule you here, keyword being "just" hehe, but hopefully you learn from this and will better research games before buying in to future.
Also, don't completely abandon the game, just take a break from it. Come back to it in a few months when there will be a new season with new stuff to do as well as all the free updates since then.
