Are you still playing regularly?

[.: Meri :.]

I've been playing pretty on-and-off recently—typically just if the mood strikes me, or if there's a TBT event that needs it. I'd like to play more, but most of my gaming energy has been going towards catching up with my backlog. ACNH feels like a pretty long-term game to me, so I've put it on the back-burner for now. Once I've gotten my gaming backlog under control, I imagine I'll play it more frequently.
I don't think I'll go back to playing daily like I did after I first got it though. That's a little too much for me to keep up with.

I wish. Right now I can't play New Horizons but hopefully I'll get my old island back so I can continue where I left off.

I had a long stretch of time where I wasn't playing hardly at all. Starting around Bunny Day, I stopped playing, and then in June I started playing again, but very sporadically until the end of last month. Now I'm playing regularly again and am looking forward to the autumn season. It seems that every year I wind up falling out of wanting to play in the spring and then come late summer I pick it back up. Even the first year when it released, I stopped playing much in the middle of May, was practically never playing by the middle of June and then picked it back up after the second summer update. Last year I stopped playing regularly in April and picked it back up in August. I just seem to get bored between Bunny Day and autumn. Maybe I just need to find friends to play with and do some kind of challenges and stuff.

I still play occassionally when work's not sucking up my spare time, lol. I don't plan on stopping until my island is finished.

I have still been playing regularly even it’s it’s just to do the basic tasks like water the garden and check my mail. But I’ve been playing a whole lot more this month due to the fair and I will be playing heaps more in October during Halloween as it’s my favourite holiday

I go through phases. I usually log on maybe once or twice a month but sometimes I will log of several days in a row if for example, I’ve got time off work and nothing to do. I do tend to play more in autumn just because it’s my favourite season and Halloween rocks.

i also go through phases with playing - i know logically that i *want* to play and work on my island and gift my villagers etc, and I’ll log on to start doing just that, but I usually end up losing motivation halfway through and after repeating this cycle for a few days in a row I’ll take another break. i do wish I still played as regularly as i used to though

I have not properly played since 22.12.21. The past couple of days I have been trying catch up on what I missed, mostly, collectibles since that date. I'm doing the same Nook miles everyday and chores, mostly bell trees, trying to get pictures, and fossils. I seem to have caught the ACNH bug again and became a little addicted but I can't help but feel tired too for multiple reasons.

The thing that makes me feel good about all this work is, seeing my villagers and their reactions after all this time, wondering what new items are in Nook's, and what DIY/Recipes could be waiting to be learned ♥

I took a super long break between 2020 & 2021. And even after the 2.0 update the game only held my interest for like a month. I was just really disappointed with Nintendo. I think I wouldn't have been so upset if they'd just given us a timeline of what updates and content to expect.

I picked the game back up in May this year cus I wanted to celebrate my birthday with my villagers. And it just awoke something within me. It made me remember why I loved AC so much in the first place... like yeah NH might not be the perfect game I wanted it to be but I've learnt to look past all it's flaws now. It definitely doesn't have the same magic as the older games but I still have fun decorating and pouring my own imagination into my villagers. I'll probably take a break again at some point but for now I'm playing almost daily! And being part of the forums here just makes the game even more fun!!

I played a lot during the TBT fair I am on holidays now so I will keep playing till then

When Halloween comes on on New Horizons and hopefully on here I will defiantly be playing every day of the week leading up to Halloween.

As its my favourite holiday

I've had a few month-long burnouts throughout the year, but I am playing regularly again!

I am still playing every day trying to get all the pictures of the villagers and the goals all over with the birthday one will be hard

 

[Braixen]

I sorta go through waves of playing? Definitely don't play as consistently as I did when the game first came out, but I still go back on to work on my island a bit or do some HHP! Only thing that sucks is all that there is left to do on my island really is finish designing it, as I've already collected everything. Sometimes I wish there was still some other stuff left to do, makes me miss new leaf :'(

 

[Gene.]

I try to! Having things like the TBT fair really help re-piques my interest in the game, so I'm playing a good bit rn!!

 

[LuchaSloth]

Barely playing at all anymore. Pop in once in a while...but it's mostly just to check which items are available in the catalog/store. Just a couple minutes to do that and then back out. I also use New Horizons as my go-to for the "play a game with online features" game for the Nintendo Online points.

 

[Romaki]

I started a new island to play again. It's just boring when everything's done.

I really wish the game supported multiple saves. Still baffling how Nintento missed the mark on this. - I just can't bring myself to let go of everything I've obtained. Realistically, the game should have a "New Game+" feature. It's insane that it doesn't.

Well, I'm back to playing more than I did before. I left for many months... I'm trying to play at least once a day, if not every other day. I still have bugs and fishes to catch and complete my museum.

 

[xSuperMario64x]

I have not played new horizons consistently for like two years now lol

I just restarted my island for the 5th time, so I think I’ll probably be playing a little more regularly for the foreseeable future. I go through lulls where I don’t play for a while, and I’ll play other games a lot. This happens with pretty much all of my games. I just cycle through them and kind of play one at a time. Like right before my new kick with ACNH I was playing BOTW a lot. I feel like I never completely drop AC, but I do take breaks in between playing. It’s helpful to know that none of my villagers will move away if I don’t play for a while
