i play less for sure. mostly because i feel like i'm stuck and while i still have so much terraforming/designing left to do, i don't know where to start. but i still like that i don't have to know immediately, i just enjoy talking to my villagers and seeing what's for sale every day in able sisters especially.

I still play every day and likely will until quarantine ends. I vary my play between finishing my catalog, doing trades, and villager hunting. The villager hunt slot machine is still pretty fun for me.

I'd be curious though if the people who are getting bored with the game are anti time travel? I would definitely get bored with the game if I was anti TT as well as being forced to stay inside due to quarantine all day lol

youre not the only one thats disappointed with this game. you can do everything that you need to do in it in a half hour at the most. the rest of it, the terraforming i wont even do because i know there will be more shops coming in later on and i dont want to have to go grind random islands *like i do almost every night* for the cash. also they could have added a lot of the past games in here, it seems theyve made it more for children than they ever have and most of the people that i know that play this game are above 40 years old.

I'm still playing on and off, not as much as I did say a week ago. I have a very nice area set up in front of my plaza, everything is lined up lovely, but for the side where I wanted to put my villagers houses, my river mouth makes it impossible for me to let them have their own little customised gardens like I wanted. I really do hate seeing their houses looking all small and cramped with fences, so until I've figured out some way of doing it, I haven't really picked it up for a few days.

 

[Shellzilla_515]

Sad to hear you feel that way. Though it's understandable because you just get burnt out playing the game so much. No game is safe from this if played for many hours at a time.

As for myself, I'm still playing it fairly often for a few hours each day. I do plan, however, cut down the hours per day to avoid burning myself out. My goal is to have fun with it, not playing it like a chore.

i don't TT, because it's basically a new game to me. my hubby currently doesn't, but is considering it, just to try and get campers/villagers to move out as we've both finished our houses(3 in my case) and all current buildings... plus he's never gotten things like a meteor shower yet etc.

 

[niko@kamogawa]

It's a long road for me. My search for Felicity is taking longer than I thought. I don't time travel so getting her is really quite difficult.

And besides, I am having so much fun so far trading with people here. I am not ready to stop yet!

My play activity has definitely decreased, I originally designed and filled my entire island, realized how unoriginal I was being, and I gutted everything out again. I'm going for a slower pace now and changed my islands aesthetic from neon to a tropical theme with neon hints. Got rid of neighborhoods and general clutter, so now things are going back to a New Leaf feel instead of New Horizons (which i much prefer).

Gonna hang out with my villagers, design clothes, and plant trees while I wait for the next big update. I can maybe get 30 minutes a day from it now, but I start bigger projects here and there which keep me from quitting

 

[MyLifeIsCake]

I missed four days of playing and it was... refreshing? I feel like taking a break and coming back in gave me a fresh set of eyes on where I wanted to go with my island. Also revisiting my villagers and not hearing their same repeated dialogs was nice.

 

[UglyMonsterFace]

I still play every day, but I haven't really been progressing development of my island. I do my dailies like digging up fossils, checking stores and my hybrids, having my bf over to water my flowers, and mostly DIY hunting, trying to finish up my non-seasonal collection! I've been happy with the game only with the knowledge that it is not a finished product. The game will continue to evolve and get updated, and so taking it at this slow pace has been very good for me ^_^

 

[justina]

I still play every day! I never play more than a few hours at a time. Mostly just an hour and sometimes before bed to look for Celeste/Wisp. Also to get a new diy.

 

[Matt0106]

Nah I still play a few hours every day. I get that people are annoyed with the updates, but it doesn't mean the game is not as good as New Leaf. NL may have had the buildings and furniture right away, but it also didn't have crafting, terraforming, new flowers, and (this one is my opinion) a better way of hunting villagers. I have put 400+ hours in just two months of having the game and I haven't slowed down; that's the beauty of not rushing and not TT'ing.

It also helps when you have friends to play with. If you're playing this game alone, then yeah, you're gonna get bored even faster. I have friends who help water my plants and just overall do stuff with.

This is in no way a bad game, and in fact, it is quite the opposite. Nintendo putting in regular updates makes for better pacing; they want people to play this game for the long-run and want fans to stick out their first year at he very least. We all know what happened to New Leaf; half the community TT'ed and everyone was practically done in a month, and that spoils everything (No problem against those who TT though, you do you boo).

I took a break for about a week from ACNH. I was playing a few other things that had come out recently, or that i recently obtained pretty much nonstop. But I've gone back to AC now, and plan to play pretty much every day.

 

[SarahsNY]

I still play pretty much every day, but it is getting a bit boring. I still have to landscape my whole town, but it’s so overwhelming I’ve been avoiding it.

As for that user who said everyone should think this is the best ac game? Lol, I guess I’m crazy. I personally enjoyed every ac game more than this one with the exception of city folk. It may have more features on a surface level, but it doesn’t have the same atmosphere and personality past games have had for me. I still love this game, but it’s overall been a disappointment for me.

 

[Aleigh]

I get how you feel 100%. I try to go on every day just to at least get the daily things done, but I'm starting to lose motivation for it. I didn't play yesterday or the day before, which is insane noting that I've played every day since launch. That could also be my depression tho lmao I don't quite have the motivation for anything

Same. With quarantine I've been playing daily but in the beginning it was all day every day. Now it's only a little here and there. I hate terraforming so I suppose I need to spend more time looking at what other's have done with similar maps. I know how I would like to decorate my island more or less, it's just the actual terraforming that gets me down.

 

[AlyssaAC]

I've been playing since March 25th, but just started a new island about a week ago. I play literally as much as I can everyday trying to get a lot done since I just started. I'm hoping I won't get too burned out, but I love this game too much to quit now. I might start up one of my other games, but for now, I still play New Horizons everyday. I do understand though what you are going through.

 

[FaerieRose]

Nope, I'm still playing hours every day. ACNH is one of the few things keeping me sane during this pandemic. I'm in the vulnerable category, so I'm still locked down tighter than Fort Knox.

 

[flurrylovebot]

I've been playing almost every day, but I had a small lull two weeks ago. My island was overgrown with flowers (hybrid farming) all over the place, and it made it really hard to terraform and decorate. I was feeling lazy about shovelling all of those flowers up, but now that I've done that, I've been working on my island a lot more!

 

[edsett]

Nope, still going strong. I’m about to start terraforming and landscaping a new area in my island too!

Personally, I’m having a blast and for me NH is the best game in series. Sure, there’s a bunch of things I miss from NL (furniture sets, exotic fruit, the jock personality) but I’m much more invested in NH. For a long time while playing NL, I didn’t do much besides talk to my villagers, check the shops, check the visitors and so on. After maxing out my house and unlocking all of Main Street, I was like done. What really made me get back into NL was getting into landscaping and town customization along with the typical day-to-day gaming.

NH has waaaaay better customization and added terraforming. (I cannot take anyone who says NL had better customization when you couldn’t pick your skin color. :/) I also like the graphics, having my villagers walk around instead of hang around their houses like in NL and so on.
