About four or so months ago, I bought a good handful of games at a yard sale. Once I got home, I pretty much immediately shelved them and haven't gotten around to playing them since. As New Horizons was ever slowly approaching release and hype was building up, I kept thinking "Oh, I want to play Animal Crossing so badly!" At the time, I didn't have New Leaf, so my only real choice was Pocket Camp. And I'm "decently" enjoying that. But I knew it was just a really bare bones, stripped down version of the real games, and even that's being a bit generous. If only I had looked on my shelf, where I keep all my games. Fast forward to today, I now have Pocket Camp, the GameCube game, and New Leaf. I'm doing some routine house cleaning when suddenly I spy on my game shelf... an almost "like new" copy of Animal Crossing: City Folk for the Nintendo Wii.
And in great disbelief, I smack myself on the forehead, realizing what an incredible dunderhead I am. All this time, I had a copy of City Folk and I was not even remotely aware of it.
In all seriousness, it's probably good that I didn't play it first, because I've heard it's a pretty bad introduction to the series and was just kind of bad in general. But before I dismiss it entirely, I thought I'd ask you guys' thoughts on it. Is it as bad as I've been told it was? Has it aged better? Worse? Are there any tips and tricks that make the game more bearable or even fun than it was over a decade ago? Any thoughts you might have before I dive into it would be appreciated!
Also, as I'm still a newcomer to this series, please kindly speak under the assumption that I was born yesterday, and thus won't be familiar with any fandom specific terminology or extremely or obscure esoteric gameplay elements. Thank you!
