What kind of New Leaf player are you?

[TattMaylor]

I tend to play Animal Crossing in bursts, I'll be hooked for a few weeks then take a break. I played AC on GameCube and Wild World a lot, took a break when CF came out, and was instantly hooked on New Leaf! I've been trying to get myself to play NL more often.

 

[MOON TRIPS]

I've got a more relaxed approach, because rushing things in my old town was what made me wanna reset again. so yeah, I am taking things nice and slow now.

 

[treetops]

It always depends on my mood. On some days I just want to take a more relaxed approach and be with my villagers, while on other days I will be doing a lot of resetting to get specific items or villagers. Most of the time, though, I am more of a laid-back player, haha.

Although I still have my old save file, I recently started another town after several months hiatus. I simply like how relaxing the game is; sometimes I don't want to play the superhero. Got Avery and Lily in my new town; they're both so adorable.

Usually casual, although I play it regularly. Couldn't care less about plot resetting (although does really annoy me when someone moves in and bulldozes a load of hybrid flowers), or "dreamies," providing I don't really take a dislike to them(Groucho *cough cough*), I don't mind who I get, although I do try my best to make sure that Cheri doesn't leave, as I've had her since my town was created. Sometimes I'll decide to grind bells or medals to try to get the higher level badges, but usually I just mess about. Again though, it's kind of a part of the nostalgic value, since I started playing in Wild World, didn't have a Nintendo system after that for years and then picked up New Leaf which takes me back.

Plays for 2 months straight, then doesn't play again for another year... Just like with my Sims game.

I'd like to become a more casual AC player though.

Same. I get a little obsessive when I seriously get back into it... but then I take really long breaks until I miss it again and I go back into obsession mode. But I would still say I'm a casual player since I can only play 2 hours a day before or after work. It is stress relieving and I do enjoy doing trades, fulfilling goals etc. I never really get bored because I always have something to work on.

 

[mayortash]

I play as I've had the games since WW. I play because I enjoy being in control of things and this game allows me to indulge that. I play because I enjoy collecting things and this game lets me indulge that. I also play because I have so much real world stress with work that it allows me an escape.

 

[cats_toy]

I waver between obsessive and casual. Right now I am in obsessive mode with one of my towns. Finally got the wooden bridge so I'm redoing paths, removing PWP's and adding new ones.

 

[Kittyinpink87]

I play every day , but a very laid back player.

 

[Acruoxil]

I'm a pretty casual player, hooking up the game to kick back and relax from time to time, see how my villies are doing.

 

[visibleghost]

I play every day, but I don't play for a super long time every day. I try to design my town (even though it's kind fo hard with my main town because it has some weird areas) but some days I just talk to my villagers and chill out B)

 

[MayorVin]

Im a pretty casual player, but obsessive enough to play every day and its the first thing i reach for when i wake up XD

 

[nerdatheart9490]

I've always been obsessed with Animal Crossing. I didn't know about the games in between the GameCube version and ACNL, but I played the GameCube version for years and years until a friend told me about ACNL. Now I play it all the time. It's kind of a form of escapism for me, since I hate my real life so much. And I have mental health issues that make it hard to enjoy the real world. I'm hoping that changes some day, but for now ACNL is the best thing for me.

 

[Tikikata]

I used to be able to play everyday but I work now during the week so my play time has been cut in half. I also avoid time traveling because I like to play as if it were "real life" passing by, lol.

 

[Miele]

i will try to play every day to check on everyone, but sometimes i forget because school distracts me a lot. whenever i am on break though, i play a lot more than usual.

 

[Twisterheart]

I'm a casual player. However, sometimes I go through phases where I don't feel like playing at all. I didn't play for a majority of the summer, because I got bored of the game.

 

[Brain.Boy]

I like playing everyday just to keep up with things and do my duty to the town of Alle as mayor.
But then depression and uncertainty kicks in and I end up watching youtube videos all day long. T_T

I'm slowly working on it though! I've recently got into working with the stalk market! I'm also working on my badges and saving up lots of bells! A friend of mine has about 15 million saved up. And I want to try and catch up to him. I'm almost there, I have about 10 million bells.

@Twisterheart: I was the same way last summer and this summer. I got back into it when three of my friends finally bought the game and wanted to play with me. But now they don't play anymore / don't want to play with me so now I'm back where I started. ^_^;

I understand. The only one that plays with me *aside from trades, etc.* is my 12 year old cousin hahaha

 

[mayor-of-ivyvale]

I'm super obsessed. New Leaf is my first ac game - i got it as a birthday gift back in May and my love for it hasn't waned at all since.

I play several hours every day for many reasons, the two main reasons being that I suffer from severe mental illness (my current psychiatrist can't even put a finger on a specific diagnosis but it's probably bipolar type II) and the happy, bright, peaceful atmosphere of the game helps me tremendously, and my illness takes away my ability to express my creativity through drawing or crafting that I used to be able to do, so acnl is a creative outlet for me. It's just good for my health really hahaha.

Anyway, yeah, I'm a hardcore crosser.
