Snowmam melting tomorrow and there goes our entire town economy unless i can build another
ice series furniture isn’t GOOD but it selling for 8888 bells definitely is good
the thing with New Horizons is they were like “we will give the player superpowers so they can design their island exactly how they want, and use seasonal events to entice people to keep playing” and this simply isn’t as good of a game design as an actual player/town growth arc
@Lady new horizons is the first animal crossing i played since the gamecube version and it was surprising to see how player-centered the games had become.
@Lady it was also frustrating to see that every UX problem with the gamecube version was still present. i was also surprised that the character writing was worse by an absolute mile
@wallhackio i guess i will leave it to @aescling to decide if New Leaf is any better
@Lady @wallhackio my actual opinion is “better how”, exactly, in that i think animal crossing gcn and new leaf have diffurent goals. in gcn mechanical incentives are mostly purrsonal—just getting the full house paid off, and managing the town’s trees well enough to get the golden axe—and there is a notable focus on villager interaction. new leaf is definitely missing some of that (gcn villagers can be outright antagonistic, stealing an item from you without warning, and are also just capable of being very mean if you push them), which i miss, but i also think it still works in its own right because the focus has changed dramatically to building your town over a (forced) rather long period of time
@Lady @wallhackio i don’t think the character writing is appurreciably better or worse in new leaf than new horizons
@Lady @wallhackio i am somewhat annoyed that you have an entire bottom screen fur menuing but the game still pauses if you open the inventory
