Honestly don't get the hype around this game... I probably spent 15-20 minutes and felt there was way to much chatter, hand holding and I felt the game was patronizing from every angle. It was a very simplified experience.

The controls feel clunky and un-intuitive, placing of objects could have been done with a little more finesse.

It's my first experience in the Animal Crossing franchise, but definitely not a positive one, going to assume it's not a game meant for my demographic which is perfectly fine.

The game starts pretty slow but after a few days to week it gets better.  If you still don't like playing it after a week or two then you can probably just sell the game for near what you paid for and move to a game more to your liking.  One good thing is resale value has to be high either to random person or retail.

The first 10 days of the game are more like a tutorial. You learn the basic mechanics and take a few quests. After you advance in the game you will realize some activities will become far less demanding.  

Co-OP and customization are the game strongest points imo. Co-OP will works better if you have an active community to help you  exchanging, cataloging, watering flowers, wishing to shooting stars, taking repeated DIY recipes, talking to random NPCs (Celeste, Redd) etc

Customization comes with full force only 50 to 60 hours after you start the game. That's when you will unblock app design to terraform your island. At this point you will also have a nice share of items and recipes, so you can start exploring you creativity 

You aren't very gregarious and are not into customization games then maybe New Horizons is just not for you 



I reached 325 hours yesterday

I think now I've done 50-60% what I want with my island. I only have two sections left to terraform, my oriental garden and Redd's beach. I expect to "finish" the game in something like 600 hours

The other things are just polish some areas and place nice furniture in empty spaces and finally start my home decoration (take notice I haven't place a new item there for almost 2 months now)

I will reduce my daily playtime from 4-5 hours a day to something like 1-2 hours now. Probably going to spend a good time browsing Nookzone to find nice items

Would anyone here interested participate in some catalog fair?

You can post a list of top items you are most interested in and I can check my catalog and real life friend catalog.  Between the two of us we probably would have a few items that you are looking for.

Right now I'm mainly looking for cherry lamp, apple chair, one of the fruit rug and golden toilet.   All items I'm looking for are diy crafted items.



More than 10 million digitally already? Incredible numbers.

I think it is almost time for a new poll...  I knew it was going to sell 15+ million about a year ago but never thought it would be selling so well.   I'll put up a new sales poll later today because it's pretty obvious it will be 20+ million.

I just... have them all? (Minus de Cherry Lump)

I'm pretty sure I've even discharged two apple chairs DIY already, but I can craft them to you

I'm here to say it's already 20 million+ or at least very close to that

Pretty sure it will be 25 million+ unless this game has very bad legs

Sounds awesome. Put down a list of your most wanted items and I'll see if I can make or order them for you.

Yes perhaps I should make the new poll even higher.  The sales are insane. I was thinking having it end on 30+ million would be suffice yet maybe I should have had it end at 35+ million.  I'll just keep it as is for now unless the numbers just come out massive next quarterly report.
