I mean you’ll get burnt out on anything if you do anything for long enough.

The fact that a lot of people aren’t burnt out on this game after two months of the game being out is pretty impressive imo.

Most other games I play I’m done with within a week to maybe a month if they’re really good.

Still playing for a few hours everyday. This is by far the best game in the series, and I'm excited to see it evolve into something even better with time.

I'm still playing, but not as often as I was in the beginning... I still have to finish decorating and breeding flowers as well as collecting items/DIYs from others.

Honestly, can’t really understand anyone who doesn’t think this game is the best in the series...like objectively. Even with the missing content it still has more to do than New Leaf. The AI is better, the writing is better...nostalgia is the only thing that keeps me thinking well of New Leaf in comparison.

I've been verrrryyy casually playing NL in between NH sessions, and it's rough. The dialogue is 100x more repetitive. I talked to a villager 5 times in a row, and she said the same thing three of those times. They do give errands much faster in NL though.

Mostly just playing so I can compare accurately, and without nostalgia goggles, in light of discussions like this. The only clear edge I still give to NL is furniture variety.

I play everyday, admittedly less but still for several hours a day. I'm waiting for bigger updates like furniture, shops and NPCs though, beyond events

Personally, I believe that Animal Crossing plays the “long game” the best, and with planned updates, it’s only gotten better.

Those who love to TT can do so freely, move forward quickly, discover a ton at a time, but still not divulge everything. With updates, the whole of the AC community can experience new content together. So even as you feel, “Ah, I think I’m burning out...” Bam, they’ve introduced something or someone new (Well, for most of us, probably old friends ).

AC has always been all about getting “rewarded” in small but appreciable doses. I’m happy to ride out the wave, and while I’m sure there will be some hiccups, I’m confident they’ll finish with an absolutely incredible game.

The writing is better?

In the past five weeks, the only thing my villagers have talked about besides apps, is my clothing.

Really great interaction.
Fantastic script.

yeah i was about to say this. i've played almost 300 hours already and for other games, that would have taken quite a while for me to achieve. obviously, we're all gonna play less when our islands are designed and we have the villagers we wanted. considering that this game hasn't reached its full potential with future updates still coming, i really think i've already got my moneys worth. i don't understand why people give nintendo so much bs. i've seen people who TT (on twitter) complaining about how there's nothing to do. hmmm, i wonder why??? (again, not a dig towards time travelers--i've tried it myself to do the campsite trick, but don't complain if you do it constantly!)

So you've never played AC before this?

LOL

What apps do your villagers talk about? I'm at 300 hours almost, and I can't think of a single conversation about apps. I vaguely remember a cranky villager saying something about kids and their smartphones... But never apps?

Wolfgang and another villager.

The other villager said, in caps "APPS, APPS, APPS, Apps are great!"

I walked away kinda disgusted.

yes i remember people were complaining there's nothing to do anymore, we don't even have art!!! then BOOM they posted the update with leif & redd. it just takes patience. i don't remember completing acnl that quick anyway. at least now, we'll experience new content together. because of social media it's easy to compare and see other islands, see how much they've evolved and we'll feel FOMO if our islands is quite not there yet. with slow roll outs, it gives some of us a break and still get excited from time to time as we haven't unlocked it all.

though it would be really great if they at least tease or give a clue what's actually coming. cafe & original furniture sets anyone?

I'm not sure if it is just nostalgia but, even though I haven't really gotten burnt out, I can see where some others are coming from. My experience when I first started playing New Leaf was a lot different to New Horizons. I started playing quite a bit after it came out (I just sadly played Wild World and City Folk until I was able to get it lol) and the first thing that hit me was how much there was to unlock and do. There was so much you could do with developing your town and your Main Street and it took me a long time to fully unlock and upgrade everything (even with TTing). With New Horizons I don't really have anything else to currently work toward besides how my island looks and my house. I think that's why a lot of people have been resetting as well, because they've unlocked everything there currently is and all they have now is those two things (and their museum if they haven't done that yet.) Otherwise we're just waiting for more updates to add something else to unlock or upgrade. Just my two cents. ; v ;

 

[Pyoopi]

Honestly, the only thing I've found pretty boring is playing with friends, lol. There's one guy I dread when he asks me to play.
All he does is follow me around and whacks me with his net.

Sometimes I feel like playing with strangers is a lot more exciting. Even if I'm just a watering can slave.

i do hope they do add more buildings, but that would require more area. & i wouldn't be against that.

one of the reasons why we feel like there's more to do on ACNL is the fact that there are literally 8-9 buildings on main street. just load up your game in the morning and there's so much to do by checking each one out. and STILL, that doesn't count the visiting NPC's. i still think they went overboard with the "deserted island" thing, that feels more like spin-off concept to me, or should have been an earlier concept. almost a step back, because we've had towns before and now deserted getaway? i mean sure we get to design our islands now with terraform but i wish they still made it more civilized. i guess it'll take time? i hope not a year. pocket camp went from camping to whatever it is that you want it in just a few months lol.

Wait, so just one conversation? If this was the GC game, they'd be teaching us how to use our nook phones for the 1000th time

Idk what's going on but I've had Wolfgang complain to me about how convenience is overrated......I think I might have seen that conversation between Apollo and Mira? But it was never glorified as "APPS ARE GREAT XD!!!1!!1!!!!!" but rather Mira getting annoyed with Apollo for not being able to use a phone correctly, idk.

wAIT I FOUND IT

Okay I took pics of some parts of the conversation. It was kinda funny but it wasn't that awful tbh. For context, the conversation was about Mira teaching Apollo how to use a phone. I think the best part was when Mira said "Have you tried looking up old friends? Apps are great for that" and Apollo replies "Friends? I ain't got no use for folks I don't talk to no more! I left 'em behind for a reason!" @TheKryptoKnight

LOL. I haven’t seen that conversation happen but to me it’s very clear the writing is better. Not only just the better characterization and more colorful dialogue of the villagers in general but the whole set up from the start. I was just watching a New Leaf play through an hour ago by SimplyPressStart and wow the dialogue is bland.
