Pet peeves on acnl

My pet peeves with the actual game:

1) The entire process of deciding spots for PWP is incredibly infuriating to me. How Isabelle repeats the same "WE NEED X SPACES BLAH BLAH BLAH" speech after every failed attempt. I also hate how touchy everything is. There have been times where I've been half the map away from the plaza and Isabelle will still say it is too close to it even if it isn't anywhere near the screen's view. Maybe if there was some kind of transparent grid of the PWP around you instead of you having to guess how big it would be or what would get in the way. (Sort of like placing furniture in The Sims or something)

2) Not being able to grow perfect foreign fruits in your own town. I understand the reasons why you can't but there are a lot that I love the look of and would like to see growing in my town.

3) Not being able to hang villager pics on walls.

4) The megaphone lol. When I had Cherry and Avery in my town it never worked on them no matter how clearly I would enunciate their names. Well, except for one time with Avery when I completely butchered the pronunciation of his name on purpose just to see what would happen.

5) Rocks. Just go away. They can build or demolish Stonehenge in a day but a measly rock is impossible to remove?

Other than those five and a few other minor things I can't think of the game is nearly perfect.

In the next game you should be able to build PWPs/houses on top of rocks, and then the rock should appear in another random place the next day. So it's still in your town and still permanent, but you can move it.

I think rocks force us to be creative! But yeah that'd be cool too.

Also I think villager pics on walls!! that's the best idea I've ever heard.

'More creative' is one way to put it >v> I don't mind them for the most put but there's this one rock directly inbetween a player house and a villagers that is impossible to ignore when putting down paths. I'd kill to get rid of it, or at least move it. There should be a fee to remove a certain amount of them

And I'd give up all my KK Slider albums in exchange for pic hanging. It'd save a ton of space.

- wish you could move rocks
-wish you could relocate villagers

Both if anything could be random, that way you have some control


I also wish that all houses/PWP had a standard 1 space no build zone

OMG I wish you could pick where to move villagers. Like the PWP, and Isabelle would just ask where to plot people. THat would be wonderful

Brilliant. This. This so hard. You hear that Nintendo? It's a great idea!

I now imagine a few dedicated people who keep placing PWP on rocks until they have them all gathered together somewhere in the map. That would be kind of cool (and convenient) lol
 
I miss the villagers being funny. Anyone out there remember when they were funny... ? Like GAMECUBE funny, and when you talked to them too long they would get all mad and call you names. These new games dumb it down too much for dumb people. Yes I know I can use a shovel and hit a rock. Oh really I can place flowers next to each other and get new colors? That crap needs to stop, I've been playing for X amount of months and don't need any freaking tutorials anymore about anything. They've added so much new stuff to the game (which I like) but they forgot to write more witty banter for the animals. I mean it's called ANIMAL CROSSING so ya know, I think those animals are important and should have more to say. So Nintendo needs to patch that.
 
ALL religion is fake in that all of them are man-made. Same with so-called gods. Goodness...out of the billions of gods that have "existed" since man could reason and speak one is no more valid than any other. *shrugs*

This is a game, and having fun with it is what it is designed for. Just as movie stars have fans, so do villagers.

I used to have a pet peeve about the villagers who call themselves super-stars, but I must have just been in a bad mood. Now it doesn't bother me and I find it kind of cute.

AC Board peeve - people taking things way too personally and looking for any reason to be offended. Goodness...every word someone says or types will be "offensive" to somebody. I always remember a famous Harry Truman quote "no matter what you do there's always gonna be some *** who doesn't like it. Boy, was he right. So he ignored them and so do I.

Also the posters who tell everybody else what should or should not be said or in what context. I'm way too old to just let people bully me into what I should or should not say on a forum. Well...I just plain do not take well to bullies at all.

Every day game peeves are most listed -

lack of storage
limit to items in a room even if there is space for them
PWP placement
repetitive speeches
villager catch-phrase contamination
how long it takes to go thru the speech about having too many items in your inventory when picking fruit or whatever else

People are so easily offended.
My biggest in game peeve is that NL has nowhere near the amount of dialogue WW had.
I've been playing it since 2007 and I still am finding new dialogue!

A proverbial "amen" to that!

I haven't yet played WW but my husband bought it for me. I really can't wait to see what it's like. I know I'll have to get a part time job and that the fruits won't stack, but everything else will be a surprise.

I do have to admit that New Leaf has more personal inventory space if my husband is right about the lack of it in WW.

I won't spoil anything, but yeah WW has MUCH less inventory space lol
you have to conserve it!
 
anyone who doesnt get the bob thing probably started with wild world, bob was probably the first "weird" type of villager, it was a purple cat called bob with a flower dress on, was it a guy? was it a girl? was it a guy dressed like a girl? he just stood out.

bob is just a classic AC villager and he's the first villager i think of when i think of AC villagers.


Awe. Sweet bob. I had him as a starter in my very first AC GameCube town :) him and Rocco will always hold a special place in my heart.
