Giveaway 100 TBT

[-Apples-]

Need some TBT to get some items from ACNH? Here?s a giveaway you can participate. As we wait for the new AC game to come out, we should have a review festival as we can rate the changes and what stayed the same between two Animal Crossing games. Here?s how to play:

Spoiler: Rating Changes

Changes between two games are rated from -3 to +3, where positive scores mean changes you liked, negative scores mean changes you hated, and 0 means changes that you don?t care about or are changes that are just as good as they are bad. A score of +3 or -3 means you feel strong about it to where it affects your overall opinion on the latter game. A score of +2 or -2 refers to the other changes you liked or hated a lot. A score of +1 or -1 refers to changes you are mostly neutral about (because your opinion is either weak or ambivalent), but you lean more positive or negative. Once you rate all the changes, you must find the total score and divided it by the number of changes listed as its average score.

Spoiler: Rating Similarities

When it comes to rating similarities, they are on a scale from -2 to +2, where positive scores mean that you felt that the developer was right for not adding/removing/changing it, negative scores mean that changes should?ve been made, and a score of 0 means you don?t care if they changed it or not. Just like rating changes, the further you are from the center, the stronger your opinion is. Once you rate all the similarities, you must find the total score and divide it by the number of similarities listed as the average score.

To enter the giveaway, I want you to rate the 20 changes of interest between City Folk and New Leaf and the 12 similarities using this rating system. Be sure to comment on why you gave that rating. The giveaway closes on June 30th at 6:00 AM Central Time. I will randomly draw the winner.

I rated the changes of interest as mostly +3 except Shopping at Redd’s and Changes in Resetti’s role because I actually liked having to get a letter from one of your villagers to allow you to shop at Redd’s, and it was nice going to the city in his little run down corner, I don’t know, it just brings back good memories of CF. Changes in Resetti’s role imo wouldn’t make a difference as he’ll always be the same cranky guy (kinda fun though) no matter what game he’s in (which I like). Train Station instead of Town Gates didn’t get that extra +1 because it brought back memories once again of seeing friends walking through those doors, it was so fun.

I rated the similarities of interest as mostly +2 except Roaches exclusively as pets and Gyroids got a +1 instead of a +2 because I mean it’s be okay if we were able to catch roaches in the game but it was fun chasing them around in your house as for some reason it just brings out an Animal Crossing notion and I keep saying memories but it’s true, I keep thinking about the old games and I’m getting nostalgic. Gyroids got the +1 because I never really wanted Gyroids in my house, I’d just sell them, but I like the different sounds they make, and if you put some together with a song they sound quite nice.

I like features that give me more room to create and customize or have ease of access, that is primarily the +3 ratings. The other remaining ones of that are just features that are more or less the same and work fine as they are.
- The island's a +2 for mostly the online.
- Roaches I don't find particularly exciting to catch.
- Don't know what you mean by biomes.
- I liked being able to store gyroids previously.

I'm a decorator to the extreme, and all the new house and museum space still wasn't enough! +3 though. xD
My favorite thing about the items was that they could be refurbished, plus all the rv specials and country exclusives made hunting for them fun. So +3
I miss seeing Redd in his tiny dark corner though...and Resetti can stay in his hole. xD
Roaches I don't find particularly exciting either way, so ehh.
I liked being able to store gyroids previously, cause now I just sell them. It is nice to keep a few though.
Personally, just the lullaboids though for me.

I thought just about all the changes from City Folk to New Leaf were good. The more customization options allowed for each town to feel different from the others. Diving was fun to do, and campers were an interesting feature. PWPs were a great example of this. However, I feel like some of the charm was lost. Resetti was now relegated to being a character you choose to having. The museum lost the Observatory and the Roost. I also really liked that they brought villager pictures back.

For similarities, I feel like the wallet should have been expanded and some new holidays added. Other than that, I think they made the right call on a lot of stuff. Biomes for towns don't exactly appeal to me, and more than 10 villagers would have been a hassle on such a small town.

What’s wrong with this giveaway? I wanted people to try out this rating system.

There’s nothing wrong with it, don’t worry lmao. I think some people are just too lazy to write all of it out, but if anyone’s reading this, give it at shot. We get to see what other people think abut certain improvements from the game. Everyone on here has different opinions after all, so let’s see what stuff everyone likes/dislikes compared to others. Fairy similar to just talking about the game itself like everyone is doing for NH, except putting it in numerical form to see how strongly we agree/disagree with some of the features.

I don't think there's anything wrong with your giveaway. I would enter but I never played City Folk so I don't think I can really assess the changes.
