Why do you people hate Tomodachi Life?

[MadCake]

I play both AC:NL and Tomodachi frequently, and i love both of them equally (for the most part), because they're both quirky and fun to play. What's wrong with it?
Don't resist the tomodachi.
Let it into your life.

Mostly from what I've seen, no one "hates" it, most people just find it disappointing since it gets repetitive and kind of boring after a while.

It's repetitive and boring after a while.
But it's not terrible, it's just disappointing.

I'd still like to try it...once I get a freaking 3DS...

My slightly edited two months old post is how I feel about the game.

While Tomodachi Life is a good game on its own, $35 is too much to ask considering on how shallow is the game. I mean, if you try to play longer than 15 minutes, you would be likely getting bored of its repetitiveness nature of taking care of your Miis. Unlike Animal Crossing: New Leaf, there's always something to do on every five minutes of gameplay, but most of them are essentially the same tasks you've encountered minutes ago. That's what you'll eventually encounter in the full game regardless on how many Miis on the island. Also, there's not enough variations in dialogues I've seen so far to efficiently represent said Mii's personality. I wish they were on par with ACNL's brilliant writing.
Part of the game's appeal is how your Mii representation of yourself (or people you actually know) reacts among various situations and the game's WarioWare-style humour getting you to smile. For example, Wario actually ending up marrying some random Japanese girl made me laugh. That's the only major redeeming factor of the game

As a owner of the Japanese version of the game, I'm having a hard time recommending Tomodachi Life. If you can find it for cheap enough, then go ahead. Otherwise, keep your hard-earned bucks for something much better than this game.

I own both Tomodachi Life and ACNL. Though I do have to agree that Tomodachi Life's price is a bit ridiculous considering the gameplay, I still thoroughly enjoy the game since it can be quite relaxing. The prospect of earning gold and buying things is not to the point of grinding, so it makes a great game to play while on break. When you play Animal Crossing, you tend to remember all the things you have to do, and it can be come quite a chore ^^;

Or maybe it's just me who always shoves things in Animal Crossing to the last minute OTL.

I haven't seen anybody hate it here, LOL. Most people here are obsessed with it.

It's repetitive. In New Leaf, I like expanding my town making it better every day. I don't want to babysit these Miis. If it had... more of a improve your island feel, then it would be better.

It's too repetitive. I really regret buying it because I got it on launch day and I even payed full price for it asdf. Digital copy too. I rarely ever pay full price for any games, with the exception of Pokemon. So much regrets.

But I do like playing ACNL. Although, I admit it gets boring sometimes. I also get frustrated about decorating about my town because I don't know what I should do with it, so I rage quit and don't come back for days lmao

 

[tamagotchi]

Lol, I got it for 5 bucks so I'm not complaining.

I like it, I think It's cute. It was a fun filler while I stopped playing Animal Crossing because it got boring for 5-6 months (Because, let's all be serious here. Animal Crossing is a little repetitive, too. Just not as much.).
It is repetitive, I'll give it that. But to be honest, I have fun playing it.

 

[EpicMeli]

It got both repetitive and very boring very quickly. Didn't last a week interested in it. >_<

 

[oath2order]

I dont hate it. I just wont play it until its dropped in price

 

[cIementine]

We hate it because we each have a personal taste in games, and some of us may not like the game as much as others.
I sold my copy since I thought it was repetitive and boring.

 

[Swiftstream]

I haven't touched my game in like a month...
But it got me really hooked the first 2 months I got it...
Then it just got so repetitive, and the content was extremely limited.

I ended up selling Tomodachi Life and Rune Factory 4 to be able to get Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright, since Nintendo gave North America a super big delay.
I don't know. It felt like Animal Crossing but it obviously wasn't as in depth or engaging and it got kind of repetitive. As others have been saying. Not to say that it's a bad game though! It's better than Animal Crossing for people who don't have the time to play daily. My friend says its really handy for him since he goes to school for the majority of the day.

 

[Twinrova]

When it first came out and I saw the ads, I really wanted it. But then my friend got it, and she said what most people on this thread are saying, that it's boring and repetitive after a while. So I'm saving any potential video game money for ORAS and SSB4 <3

Tomodachi Life, while has given me at least 40 hours of decent entertainment, is arguably not worth the $40 dollar admission price. It's like paying for a concert starring your favorite band, but they only play like six songs and then split. You're still satisfied about seeing them live, but at the same time disappointed because you feel like you didn't entirely get your money's worth. Compared to Animal Crossing New Leaf where you could do things on your own, Tomodachi just required a little supervision and then some maintenance to keep the Miis "alive".

 

[Aradai]

I found it once in the bargain bin lmao.

It's funny at first, but when you reached to about a week of playing, it gets repetitive and boring. I unlocked all the shops and upgrades in 3 weeks.

 

[LambdaDelta]

I hate life in general.
