if you keep talking to Sable over the course of a few days/weeks, she'll open up to you and start talking more. it's one of the few things that makes the characters really feel alive in this one
Yes! And although this also happens in New Leaf and Horizons, I think Sable not really talking much with Mabel because she is snappy and short of affection would make the player feel more sympathetic towards her, making them want to come by more often. And the more you get to know sable, she starts standing up for herself and starts bonding with Mabel because of it. Idk I think that's a cool headcanon thing for me lol
In my playthrough the feeling of Sable feeling like an actual character went away after she kept repeating the same lines about Mable and Lable, but something is better then nothing
Your animal crossing commentary nails it every time. My first animal crossing was wild world and I also remember the villagers back then being so so much... more. I feel like in wild world, the villagers weren't as mean as the original game (probably) but also had more edge than in new leaf, which is a good spot I think. I was a very nice "sensitive" kid but I never felt bothered by the villagers, I just liked that they felt so alive and that it was hard to tell sometimes what personality type they even were because the dialogue was so layered. In New Horizons, imo, the villagers feel more like your standard NPCs like in any other game, which you can really notice when they spew the same three sentences at you instead of having a real conversation. It's like the creators cared so much about "convenience" and "new mechanics" that they forgot the original point of animal crossing, like a great looking customizable teddy bear without stuffing. This video has really made me want to play the original game, it looks so fun!
I think New Leaf is the best game in the series when it comes to the sheer amount of content and things to do but Animal Crossing GameCube will always be not only my favorite game in the series but one of my favorite games of all time. It’s just so charming and really nails the social sim aspect that the creator was going for. The soundtrack is so wild and wacky and I love all the little things you can do like writing in your journal, playing NES games in your house, or kicking balls around with your villagers.
it's funny that you mention hamphrey - he's my favorite! my first ac game was new leaf, and he was one of the first villagers who moved in. he started off being this big angry grump and gradually became loveable and kind the more you engaged with him. to this day he's my best hampster grandpa
I remember reading about the first GameCube AC game in Nintendo Power for months leading up to the release. They ran multi page features about different aspects of the game each issue for quite a while leading up to the game. They were really determined to try to make people 'get it'cause a game without a goal was pretty new. I was hyped and got it at least near launch and had a great time. My mom also started a character and she's been a fan ever sense as well. If some of the villagers weren't jerks I don't think it would have caught on as much for either of us cause we could dunk on shitty villagers in our town.
I would consider the gamecube game to be my true childhood game because of the true sense of community it gave me each time i played. I remember very well how i felt mad at some characters and then extremely happy to find the nicest villagers to talk to. I would avoid mean ones, i would call resetti names when he scolds me for no reasons. It was annoying. They were extremely mean, but damn, i mean, so as some people in real life. And the true contrast you can find in characters who slowly become nicer because you start knowing them better with time, share events with, and characters like resetti who are just there to mess with you truly make you feel something for the characters, even those with tougher personalities. They are pretty much ALIVE and that's what i've felt so attached with throughout the serie. It's simply because with time, you get to know them, they open up to you and they become familiar faces, just like how it is in real life ! My second animal crossing game was Wild World, which still had this sense of community. You could join discussions between two characters and share your opinion, and mean characters were still there too. That's why i was so hyped when i learnt New Horizon was in the work, and I even bought a switch and pre-ordered the game for its launch day. But how disappointed I was when the social aspect of the game was reduced to the bare minimum. I felt so uncomfortable talking to my villagers because they felt like they were faking their kindness although they don't even know you well. I ended up dropping the game and I still feel very sad how the game ended up being more akin to a customization game than the social simulator I used to know. Apparently a shift was already starting with New Leaf where characters were mostly less mean, but I didn't play it so the contrast between early AC and New Horizon was HARSH to me. I wish Nintendo could go back to the original formula, but since New Leaf they decided to neglect the social aspect and I don't think they'll reverse. So i sort of accepted it and lost much of my interest for the franchise's future. However, your video really made me want to restart the gamecube game. There isn't much to do in this game but it feels so cozy and chill. And the music... Wild World's is great but the gamecube one's musics are so memorable ! Great video btw ! I will also check out your let's play, i'm so curious to see how a person who only played the most recent games would react to the original hehe
The world has an obsession with positivity right now to the point that it becomes unhealthy. However, despite the theory being that living in a paradise place where everything you could want is given to you and nothing bad ever happens would lead a human being to complete madness, the majority are... happy with New Horizons! And I find that frightening. Makes me feel like I am in that island, the only sentient creature for miles knowing something is wrong.
An idea just popped into my head that would be really cool in an animal crossing game. You know how there’s friendship levels in acnh that go from 0 to 6. What if it went from -6 to 6. The friendship level could even be random starting from -2 to 2 which is randomized whenever a villager moves in. It would be meant to characterize some of the villagers liking or disliking the player more than average. You would gain friendship points by doing chores and talking to them and giving gifts but you would lose friendship points if you failed their tasks or ignored them for too many consecutive days or giving them disliked gifts or hit them with a net. High/low friendship levels could even make certain things more likely. If you’re low friendship then the villager is more likely to try and rip you off but if you’re high friendship the villager may give you a deal. The friend levels (and personality types) would dictate how nice/mean a villager is. The levels would not be displayed in game but maybe use Katarina like in new horizons to approximate the level. In regards to multiplayer the villagers interactions with the visiting player could be dependent on the friendship with the main player. And if a villager moves from one island their friendship with the new player would be half of the previous player (rounded down). Ex: Boris is at friendship level -4 and he moves to a friend’s island and is now at -2.
Best hourly song in the franchise for sure. I’d actually rather have that one song in New Horizons than all 24 hourly tracks we got in New Horizons, that game’s original music is mostly garbage
New Horizons was my first Animal Crossing game. Elmer was my favorite villager - until I met other Lazy villagers and noticed that they all talked exactly the same way he did. And around that time, I started to lose interest in the game and play it less and less. I had a feeling like I'd already seen everything, despite still missing a lot of fish, bugs, and DIY recipes. After watching your Animal Crossing videos, it makes a lot more sense as to why. Great video! You always use just the right footage, music, jokes, etc. and your commentary is so relaxing and fun to listen to. Looking forward to seeing more (as long as you enjoy making them)!
i never had a gamecube so my first AC game was wild world when i was around six. when i say that game scarred me.... i mean it. nothing haunted me as much as not saving and having resetti forcing little me to type the same sentence over and over on the keypad and making me to redo it until i got it right or apologize over and over while yelling at me that he didn't believe me. phyllis' and gracie's insults under their breaths made it all the more sweeter when i went to go talk to my best villager friend right after. it's so unfortunate that AC has lost it's attitude and wit and is now basically a god sim. waiting 7 years for NH only to get what we got was wild
I played the gamecube version as a kid. Played new leaf when it came out for a while but found it kind of boring. The immersion and charm of the game was just gone. The new additions to gameplay are great but it just felt like a shallow husk. I still have so many core memories of the gamecube version but I barely remember anything about new leaf besides the shops to the north and the rolling pin world.
I too have probably over 2k hours in New Leaf. Since Horizons disappointed me I can certainly say I would 100% buy a remake of this game. (Ain't gonna play it through Switch Online though)
Despite having the least amount of content, this game is extremely charming and it’s filled with character. I miss when Villagers were mean instead of always nice, a bit of rudeness makes the villagers feel more alive
my first was new leaf welcome amiibo, i've got my hands on new horizons recently and the first thing i felt after talking to villagers is being overwhelmed from how /unnecessary/ nice everyone is. even more compared to new leaf. talking to someone for three days at best and constantly receiving gifts 'just because' and letters saying 'best friends forever' doesn't feel deserved at all. girl you can't thank me enough for what i've done nothing over the week except checking turnip prices not limited to new horizons, but i find receiving a gift after coming to someone's birthday the weirdest thing, it doesn't work like this in real life. i wish villagers would be more reactive to the player's choices, more upset or angry when you refuse or fail to do something for them, comment on gifts differently depending on style (does nh have dislikes even?) or their mood or refuse a gift just because they don't feel like it. i don't have strong favorites or a 'dreamie list', i like going with the flow and get attached to villagers over random game events i myself add context to, like receiving a strange clock via mail and being asked to keep it a secret, as if it's some doomsday machine. (after this villagers kept gifting me clocks lmao) i liked interacting with special characters on the other hand [dirung the main storyline], tom nook is hilarious in nh and i like his and nooklings' character development over the game series especially, others too, though it's sad that we're seeing old faces less recently (keeping in mind some were added in later game updates, never got to experience that bc i'm always years late to releases lol) and there's a great room for improvement too, i'd love to see different characters, special and not, interact in different ways more. (god tell me blathers ever said anything about redd because it would make so much sense)
I wish that I had this level of writing so I could make my own AC:NH review lol. Yours was fantastic! I played the Gamecube AC (200+ hrs I guess), Pocket Camp (I got bored and uninterested real quick with this one), Wild World (played a few hours but the screen resolution and aliasing gave me real eye pain so I was forced to quit...), then New Horizons (1.200+ hours, still playing by this day), I'd say that I agree 100% with you. My wishes for a new AC game is : bring back "real" personalities and a more fleshed-out behaviour system ; make the solo game worth playing (I want to bond with my villagers, I want to be able to having them visit me even after they quit the town, or maybe call them back if we were "friends", IDK there's a lot to dig in this part...) or just being able to play some actual games with them, or calling whoever in my town to actually follow me so I make a volleyball team on the go, and I ask them to play ! (Note, I'm not an online person) ; also, if Nintendo wants to invest in online play, make it so the players actually DO something together while they play, like seamless, real time interactions not the half-backed thing they serves as "online play", or even a better system to move in or out of islands, having a second island with same account, IDK... Nintendo should free the potential of this franchise, they can do it.
There's a lot to say about how the gameplay is all about making something would always be for material deeds, and AC:NH is a very much capitalistic videogame for a game that introduce you to the "life in a survival / bushcraft context". This was my first, and biggest disappointment in the series, because I love nature and survival, and I hate being fooled by videogames that surf on such trends if they don't even try. Fortunately there's been more good than bad in the balance, I love drawing patterns and designs, I've found villagers that I like (favorites are Léo/Rex, Maiko/Hanako, and Roy/Sheldon)... even though now I know all of their limits, they appear like they are holograms who repeat the same catch phrase, so I edited what I could around them to flesh them out a little more, but that's all. I may be still playing the game, only because with ALL its flows there's absolutely NO competitor out there, and I don't count Terraria or whatever, I mean there's no game LIKE Animal Crossing. There could have been Disney's Wonder-Town or whatever the name, the one that checked the most squares on the Animal Crossing checklist, and I tried it but it happen to be very tiny and relies on a marketing scheme that I disapprove entirely (advertising ingame and selling pay to win and micro transactions to KIDS is a strong no-no to me). + Disney's game just happened to have a disappointing world outside the player's town, so... meh.
I got into AC last year and decided to start from the beginning with Population Growing and Wild World, and I'm so glad I did! The onlder games are missing some features, but they're so full of joy and charm. The villagers weren't just mean, they felt like real individuals that you could form meaningful relationships with. Every AC player should take the opportunity to get to know these games and see where the franchise started. Not to shit on NH, but to make informed and constructive critique about the franchise going forward.
Ac GameCube is so engraved in my soul I still listen to its hourly music a lot, and play it often, I will say there not much to do unless u go through time tho so that’s a plus the newer games get atleast
You say no one probably found their new favorite villager in new horizons, well I found Bam and he is indeed my new favorite after my original favorite being Bob from the n64 game XD
I really hate that people diss on amiibo festival so much - I really freaking enjoy it, and I don't dare say it on most platforms, because I've seen how vicious people can get towards people who enjoy it. But it costs €0 to just not say something scathing about a game that some people like. Bleh. Anywho, i'm only here because I accidentally clicked your name in the comments of a Hunter R video, and i'm so glad I did. This is awesome, and it's so fun to see someone realise just how awful Nintendo's been to the villagers lately
Amiibo Festival is just such an easy target, the black sheep of the series. I'm glad it has it's fans though! Oh and thank you for checking me out! Hunter and I are good friends, his videos are AMAZING! Happy I could entertain in a similar way! :D
Quennie would hurt my feelings and till this day I still don't like her 😂 but yes! These personalities are everything and should make me feel happy, sad, mad, like these characters were amazing good or bad
TBH, I feel like they're just going to leave animal crossing dead in the water in the sense of not TRYING. not doing new things, adding player favourites (NPC's, events, personality, etc). They have kinda left new horizons in favour of pocket camp, because pOcKeT cAmP maKEs MoNEy and horizons, does not past buying the game/dlc. I could go on an entire rant about how frustrating it is to see pocket camp, an older game, get constant updates and features while horizons has been left to die after the last major update despite them saying there would still be updates, just not major ones (and they have not done minor updates) however I will not go on this rant, New Horizons is the Sims4 of the animal crossing instalments.
The biggest reason I don't like NH is that there are so few scripts for characters. You know what they're going to say. And if you have two with the same personality, you get to hear the same freaking thing every dang day. If the personalities don't improve, i'm not getting the next game. And this is coming from someone who's been playing the games for the last 22 years, and whose special interest was animal crossing for a while growing up. I've played every game since GCN, barring the happy homes games, and... NH is just so bland. There's so much to do, and it baffles me how nintendo managed to make it so bland. I managed all of 200 hours on it. I did more than that in a few months on the previous games, and then kept going. No, we don't need the meanness of GCN villagers back, but there's personality in every other game's villagers that NH doesn't have. Okay done ranting
Calling it a cope, but I hope that the next game has better dialogue as well, because even as someone who started with NL, the villagers in NH are so damn boring. Like man IDC if I can basically make the island anyway I want, or that I can finally play as a black guy instead of needing to get a tan (lol), if the dialogue is boring, then why would I play?
![Just how bad is Megamind vs The Doom Syndicate [EPISODE 1]](/img/n.gif)
The problem is that, in the older animal crossing, you felt that you were living in the world, whereas in new horizons, you basically ARE the world.
if you keep talking to Sable over the course of a few days/weeks, she'll open up to you and start talking more. it's one of the few things that makes the characters really feel alive in this one
Yes! And although this also happens in New Leaf and Horizons, I think Sable not really talking much with Mabel because she is snappy and short of affection would make the player feel more sympathetic towards her, making them want to come by more often.
And the more you get to know sable, she starts standing up for herself and starts bonding with Mabel because of it. Idk I think that's a cool headcanon thing for me lol
In my playthrough the feeling of Sable feeling like an actual character went away after she kept repeating the same lines about Mable and Lable, but something is better then nothing
@@TheIrishDino in new horizons she warms up to you in like 2 days 😭

New leaf was my first experience with animal crossing too. And to be honest I do like it a bit more then new horizons
it's funny that you mention hamphrey - he's my favorite! my first ac game was new leaf, and he was one of the first villagers who moved in. he started off being this big angry grump and gradually became loveable and kind the more you engaged with him. to this day he's my best hampster grandpa

someone’s gotta put you on the dev team
I still remember when Amiibo Festival was first unveiled.
I still haven’t forgiven Nintendo for that 😂
5PM from the original is my favorite song in the series. Perfectly captures what 5PM means and feels like to me.
Such a good jam I agree :)
Best hourly song in the franchise for sure. I’d actually rather have that one song in New Horizons than all 24 hourly tracks we got in New Horizons, that game’s original music is mostly garbage

not limited to new horizons, but i find receiving a gift after coming to someone's birthday the weirdest thing, it doesn't work like this in real life.
i wish villagers would be more reactive to the player's choices, more upset or angry when you refuse or fail to do something for them, comment on gifts differently depending on style (does nh have dislikes even?) or their mood or refuse a gift just because they don't feel like it.
i don't have strong favorites or a 'dreamie list', i like going with the flow and get attached to villagers over random game events i myself add context to, like receiving a strange clock via mail and being asked to keep it a secret, as if it's some doomsday machine. (after this villagers kept gifting me clocks lmao)
i liked interacting with special characters on the other hand [dirung the main storyline], tom nook is hilarious in nh and i like his and nooklings' character development over the game series especially, others too, though it's sad that we're seeing old faces less recently (keeping in mind some were added in later game updates, never got to experience that bc i'm always years late to releases lol) and there's a great room for improvement too, i'd love to see different characters, special and not, interact in different ways more.

Baby wake up new Dino the TRex video dropped
no way
way

Amiibo Festival is just such an easy target, the black sheep of the series. I'm glad it has it's fans though!
Oh and thank you for checking me out! Hunter and I are good friends, his videos are AMAZING! Happy I could entertain in a similar way! :D
another great video Dino!

frick boris
Thank you and FRICK BORIS!!!
Great video
Thank you!!!
You know, I never played any other game, but I always felt there was a lot missing from New Horizons.
Quennie would hurt my feelings and till this day I still don't like her 😂 but yes! These personalities are everything and should make me feel happy, sad, mad, like these characters were amazing good or bad
Another great video! I wonder what Nintendo will do next, will they continue NH's path or listen to feedback?
Thank you! I hope they listen to fan feedback
TBH, I feel like they're just going to leave animal crossing dead in the water in the sense of not TRYING. not doing new things, adding player favourites (NPC's, events, personality, etc).
They have kinda left new horizons in favour of pocket camp, because pOcKeT cAmP maKEs MoNEy and horizons, does not past buying the game/dlc.
I could go on an entire rant about how frustrating it is to see pocket camp, an older game, get constant updates and features while horizons has been left to die after the last major update despite them saying there would still be updates, just not major ones (and they have not done minor updates) however I will not go on this rant, New Horizons is the Sims4 of the animal crossing instalments.
@@KaspYAR Is anyone playing Pocket Camp though? Lol
The biggest reason I don't like NH is that there are so few scripts for characters. You know what they're going to say. And if you have two with the same personality, you get to hear the same freaking thing every dang day. If the personalities don't improve, i'm not getting the next game. And this is coming from someone who's been playing the games for the last 22 years, and whose special interest was animal crossing for a while growing up. I've played every game since GCN, barring the happy homes games, and... NH is just so bland. There's so much to do, and it baffles me how nintendo managed to make it so bland. I managed all of 200 hours on it. I did more than that in a few months on the previous games, and then kept going.
No, we don't need the meanness of GCN villagers back, but there's personality in every other game's villagers that NH doesn't have.
Okay done ranting
Calling it a cope, but I hope that the next game has better dialogue as well, because even as someone who started with NL, the villagers in NH are so damn boring. Like man IDC if I can basically make the island anyway I want, or that I can finally play as a black guy instead of needing to get a tan (lol), if the dialogue is boring, then why would I play?
