Sorry guys, Girlfriend Reviews is cancelled. We’ve lost her eternally to New Horizons. The next time we get a video is when the next Animal Crossing comes out.

The trivial stuff causes more stress than actual failures ;P
This review is exactly what I was expecting, boyfriend lashing out at the many gameplay absurdities and girlfriend thinking he is just cranky hahaha loved it
Yep. His criticisms are spot on. The constant repetition of puns and interactions is annoying. Think how absurd the process of “getting to a mystery island” is.
the only thing my bf did when I handed him the controller to explore my island a bit is use the vaulting pole to hop everywhere, and switched to the axe and immediately asked "how do I attack?" 😐
"Hey when you're out fishing with your buddies do they ever say anything like 'Hey I caught a string fish, 5 more and I'll have a guitar fish.'" "Shit no man, I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin something like that man." *Highlight of the video*
Matt when he "regrettably lost his temper": "I don't like easter, I don't want these eggs, this sucks" Me when I lose my temper: Florida man arrested for tossing gator into Wendy's
As a guy who loves AC maybe he would understand it better if he knew that you were slapping those rocks for epic gamer upgrades. (Just don't tell him that every sense of progression is entirely decided by yourself and your own values or else he might get confused again. :P)

Girlfriend Reviews: I LOVE ANIMAL CROSSING! Boyfriend Reviews: There are 3 PERFECTLY UNUSED BUTTONS on my switch that could be used to vault over rivers or go up ledges. BUT NOOOO P.S.: Love the content!
Ryan Duffy better, why can’t I just craft stacks of fish bait instead of doing it individually. I’m making 40 fish baits! I’m just mashing A button for 30 minutes!
And after fiving two of these buttons the function to climb and to jump over rivers there would be still one button remaining for Melee-Attack which would instantly force the person your hitting to "leave" your Island.
I had to buy my wife her own switch because of this game. A 40 year old, mother of 2, threatened to kill our kids for messing with her save. Now she has her own switch to play as much as she wants.
Animal Crossing New Horizons is so addicting that it has turned my mother into a gamer. Not even joking she was teaching me how to play the other day. Has anyone ever experienced this phenomenon of a non gaming mom teaching a gamer about a game?
The Legendary Skittle my mother and father have played every single day since it came out and I bought it. My mom will come in and tell me to get off the game because she wants to play...But at least my museum is getting finished pretty quick lol
My mother taught me how to play Ultima Online because one of her friends who played it got her into it. I was already a gamer by this point, but yes, yes I have.
My mom got addicted to plants vs zombies when it first came out, it got to a point where she would play survival on the hardest difficulty and be bored. She could play a round of survival for weeks and she also maxed out her money earned in the game. She said the game was too easy, and even though i play videogames regularly i have never got nearly as good as her in the tower defense area. She has since quit pvz and doesn't care for any of the new ones.
I adore New Horizons, however he makes really valid points about the game's flaws. One thing that *really* brings me down is the fact there's little to no way to interact with other players, mini-games, interactive expressions, interactive objects, you can use to have fun with your friends, that's what this game desperately needs, hopefully the updates made to this game will increase interactivity, it would be incredible.
He makes another good factor about crafting. I hope the devs make an update to the game where you can access the storage for materials, and automatically craft the things you want
No, those arent't valid points. That's how the game is and how fans like it. If you don't like Animal Crossing, don't try to change it, just stop playing. It's that easy.
@@mr.frenzy7304 "to me" being the qualifier there. I don't like call of duty, I find them bland and boring, so should I ask the devs to make the guns swords instead? For me that is. Animal crossing is a slow burn, and I completely understand why some people will never get into the series, but asking the devs change things you find bland and boring is just kinda... Pointless. That said, it could totally stand for some QoL tweaks, as mentioned in the video, so I agree with the reviewer there, but you specifically talk about tweaking gameplay, and (depending what you meant by that) that would be a huge no for me. Could they ADD to the gameplay? Sure! But don't change the fundamentals. AC has always been about playing it your way, so if you can't find fun things to do with the multiplayer as it is, then maybe it's you (not YOU specifically) that isn't fun, and not the game. I had my sister, her bf, my niece come to my island for Easter and made a fun mini game for us to play, all using what's readily available in the game. Would a premade mini game have been fun? Yeah, sure, but for how long?
My fiancé and I share an island. He leaves the designing to me lol he’s got his own corner of the island by his house he can design. The only time we almost ended it all was when I sent Beau away and then acted like I didn’t know why he was leaving 😂😂😂 BUT BEAU RATTED ME OUT TO MY FIANCE LMAOOO
Same situation with bf, I was trying to loot some furniture from trees and when bf found all those branches laying on the floor I was like 'it's not me' and this villager just straight up told him YOU KNOW WHO SHOOK ALL TREES ON ISLAND THIS MORNING? BOIIII YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE
Because his mistake was treating it like an actual video game for some unknown reason. That's one of those silly notions you must rid yourself of to become a true Animal Crossing elite
bumpin 100% I love the game (maybe not as much as my gf) but he’s absolutely right. I can’t help but feel “Really Nintendo? You had a decade and this is the best you can do?” I love animal crossing for many many many reasons but I actually think stardew valley is better/there is more to do and the mechanics make sense/are better thought out. Part of me wonders what everyone would think of the game if we weren’t in lockdown and had nothing better to do. Still love the game but thought it was a bit of a let down, especially for as much build up and time that had taken place since the GameCube version.
This game has so many quality of life improvements it makes all the things the didn't fix stand out. I love AC but hearing the same repetitive dialogue every time I want to fly to an island isn't charming after the 50th time nevertheless the 500th time. Sometimes being an animal crossing fan means suffering a lot of stupid pointless stuff to mindlessly grind towards meaningless rewards. Or something like that.
@@briansteele5804 Considering New Leaf sold 12 million copies on the single system it was released on I think people would be in love with this game pandemic or not, hoss.
When you started talking about Mister Rogers life lessons I started to tear up, but then you transitioned to mortgage, and the tears shot straight back inside.
When I played animal crossing with my girlfriend and ran out of stuff to do and got bored I just started chasing her with an axe and while hitting her with an axe doesn't do anything the sight of an axe murderer chasing his victim in the adorable animal crossing graphics was surreal and somehow quite entertaining 10/10
I have to say, Matt nailed the reasons why Animal Crossing is feeling like a real drag. That lack of multiple quality-of-life features sometimes makes me wanting to go back to Minecraft.
GriffJS This is understandable if you’re new to the franchise, but compared to previous games the QOL improvements are insane. Yes, these things were even worse before (example, having to identify one fossil at a time)
Honestly, hearing him slate things with his fairly monotone voice is actually the funniest thing. This with his _"why does ...?"_ is probably my second favourite before him completely shitting on Game of Thrones
@@BigBoss-sm9xj Dark Souls 2 compared to 1 and 3 is the worst entry imo. They tried a bunch of new stuff that didn't exactly work. Also despite having stories that aren't in your face and not related to each other, you can skip Dark Souls 2 and not miss out on anything.
@@romiarkan450 on the flip side, 2 did have the most content, some great music, and the best PvP imo out of all the games. If we'd gotten the game as it originally looked in early trailers it'd probs be my second favourite next to Bloodborne
@@SythonToTheZ It did have the most content, much like a Mcdonalds meal has more quantity than a 5 star restaurant. With the controls and hitboxes in the series. There's a reason it's the black sheep of the souls games.
@@waking00one people will love this game, and I'm fine with that, but it just seems to me that the end goal of the game is to decorate and that's just not my cup of tea
It's not about the trivial things tho, it's about the experience as a whole. You can't just knock a game off your list because of minor inconveniences the game has. Sure, they can add up in games, but animal crossing is a game where the experiences overshadow the minor things to the point where the minor things can even become charms in due time. Give the game some time.
@@carlosmaestre I mean, literally every animal crossing game is like this so I think it's a pretty distinct series where people either love it or hate it. :3 Tho I do agree with Matt's point on crafting tho. It's a pain.
3:50 this sequence with the 51 years reference, it unlocked a level of laughter in me that I did not know even existed. This is just an amazing channel all around; talent, wit, and heart always in generous abundance.
Just recently discovered your channel and it's such a breath of fresh air! Boyfriend and I recently got into gaming cuz obviously, self-quarantine. He's a lot more comfortable playing games growing up with brothers and I'm a total beginner. Your videos are exactly what I want from reviews haha
You'll get used to it, don't get discouraged by confusing controls and such. There is no better thing like playing a game with your girlfriend or listening to her talk about something fun that happend in game.
@@TinPrince Ba Ba has a point tho. Going to other people's homes and such not knowing what they have done or who they have interacted with and doing the "normal things" is one of many reasons the United States has the highest amount of coronoa virus cases. Being safe is top priority here, the coronoa virus is dangerous, and many people _still_ don't care about being safe. Granted, "ba ba" assumed an awful lot here, he/she assumed they weren't being safe, they didn't live in the same house, etc. Acting like they knew them. You shouldn't be so quick to dismiss people tho, that goes for practically everyone here. I also don't get why you call them racist, they said the n word to a person with a profile picture of someone who doesn't have a black skin color so I'd assume they are black and use the word frequently, like it's a habit. Many of my black friends use the word frequently, so I don't see how it was racist.
Y'know, Matt is right, there are absolutely an absolutely massive amount of inconveniences in the game that does make it a chore to watch and play sometimes
@CarlyKpdx Like if they want people to enjoy a slower pace, don't put in BS artificial time wasters!! Do things like increase timers or add timers for building and such, but allow you to do multiple diferent ones at once. That or like...making things harder by requiring more sources an other stuff.
@CarlyKpdx I mean you can still have a nice slow pace but being unable to craft multiples items of something, etc etc it's just little quality of life stuff to make the grind a little more enjoyable
@CarlyKpdx There is absolutely no reason the gold tools should break at all. We still have to craft pretty much everything else, why not just reward us for getting every fish in the game with an indestructible fishing rod? And you can't even customize the gold tools to reset their durability which makes them almost worse than regular tools.
I'm guessing this has something to do with the title flying in really slowly and weird singing? I wouldn't say I was confused, just thought it was random silliness.
Years ago I was working at a Gamestop when the _Dead or Alive_ volleyball game came out, and we had two pre-orders - both made by women. I only saw one pick up, a girl with her _very_ embarrassed boyfriend. She claimed she wanted to play it because it was about making friends and giving gifts. He didn't want any part of it. Just a funny anecdote this reminded me of.
Narffet Les I’ve heard that series was surprisingly popular with women, they liked the tropical environments, the costumes and social interactions. When I was younger (female) I wanted to buy it myself, it looked so relaxing.
As I've learnt from every anime recommendation made by one of my female friends, straight women seem to be COMPLETELY unphased by fanservice. It has no effect on them, negative or positive
@@Besayren that was a shorted version of something like this: "How dare you, developers, make me "stop, open the item wheel and equip something" (which is 4 button presses and annoying as dang) to do something so a) simple and b) extremely often used in the gameplay as hopping over rivers or climbing ledges? Things like that should be a lot easier and faster to access, and you could have done it easily, since you have three buttons on the controllers that literally have no functions at all. This crap is important, bad usability is what makes people leave and never come back. Imagine UA-cam making you expand a list of reactions to leave a like or dislike, or ask you every time after you click on a video if you REALLY want to watch it. Annoying, right? That's an example of making things only ONE click further away than they should be. And you bloody make me do four moves to perform the most basic maneuvers that I sometimes need to do several times in 20 seconds! This is unacceptable and how dare you make this game so annoying!" Yeah, I think it's something like that.
I’m a big fan of animal crossing but this one just feels like there isn’t anything to do but the core gameplay loop. The island tours are barren compared to the island in new leaf, and there aren’t mini games to play with friends anymore. Whenever I play with friends, I just show up, buy from their shops and leave
@@CapnNapalm it's true, the island tours are a complete downgrade where rng gives you the chance to experience ONE of the cool aspects of the old islands, where you could have gone and gottem all of them at once, every time. I suppose they were trying to balance the progression speed, but boy is it annoying.
@@azurepulse1870 Progression in the game is already slow enough though. Took forever to get terraforming without time travel. I wish the island tours were either more like the dream world shop or the island from new leaf. Heck, I liked when there were villagers on the mystery islands to meet. It reminded me of the gameboy island in the gamecube one. Either way, seeing something cool 1/10 of the time isn't fun
I've seen this channel in my recommended feed so many times and never watched anything. Now I'm wondering what took me so long, the editing is amazing and it makes me laugh so much.
I bought this game for my wife. She had never played an Animal Crossing game before. She loved it so much she bought her own Switch and another copy of the game. I decided to give it a go since it was on my Switch anyway. I got hooked. I can't explain why I love this game, but I play for 4-6 hours daily, minimum. Gotta say though, I wholeheartedly agree with every single thing you were nitpicking about. They all drive me insane and I complain about them regularly. I also can't begin to explain how glad I am that the Easter event is over and that stupid bunny and his crappy eggs are off my happy little island.
Shelby's rendition of the "Would You Be My Neighbor?" song actually made me tear up, her voice was that extra bit cutesy and that with music and AC visuals was just really beautiful
6:37 I use bluetooth headphones, so you said "your gonna hear trivial stuff like" and then my headset cut in and said "battery low" at the EXACT perfect moment.
I'm literally Shelby, freaking out over everything, but I love that my boyfriend will just look over at me and smile and say that he's happy I'm enjoying the game and buys it for himself to play with me ;_;
Matt: That's why our comment sections have been relentlessly demanding that I perform a boyfriend review. And it would not be really funny to make them wait any longer. Also Matt: Makes us wait even longer
i love how the mr. rogers montage got me feeling all choked up and ready to cry and then it segued into loan problems and tiger king had me burst out laughing. i have never felt so many emotions in such a short period of time.
I feel both ways about this game. I LOVE IT. I'M SO ADDICTED. MY HOUSE AND TOWN ARE ADORABLE. That said, Matt's complaints are TOOOTALLYYY right. They need to fix some stuff for sure x-x
I agree 100% I played the game literally every day since it's come out, and I see the mandatory wait times for some things as part of immersing myself but all the quality of life features he mentioned beyond that like being able to craft with stuff in your storage, having customization not be a separate menu, and being able to purchase nook miles tickets at the airport would do so much to improve the overall experience.
@CarlyKpdx I think if enough people complain they might fix some of the minor QOL issues or add more activities for multiplayer. In the previous game New Leaf there was an island called Tortimer's Island that had minigames, I don't see why they can't add those. I haven't played New Leaf in years but I remember they were similar to how the fishing tourney and bug off work in this game where you could compete to see who could catch the most fish/bugs in a set amount of time, things like that.
@CarlyKpdx They'll likely add some things that were in the previous game, like extra facilities and some other activities, but these quality-of-life improvements mostly won't be fixed because they were intended to be there.
As a girlfriend who does not own their own switch, but who has stolen her boyfriends switch to play the copy he bought me for my birthday...this is exactly how he feels right now. 217 hours of game play and counting.... 😅
if he baught you the game he gave you free reigh to use the console whenever he was and submitted to not being able to kick you off it it you are playing your game.
I hope he's okay with that being your switch now, your animal crossing village is locked to the system so even if you played your game on a different switch you would have to make a new village. the only way to play your village is to play on that specific switch.
animal crossing is supposed to be a world of contradictions. Cute house, hunted down for your mortgage. Tons of fish, all sea basses. CJ comes to town, infinite water eggs
Some of them sound trivial alright, but only before you have to do them like a million times and start cursing the developers for turning something relaxing into a chore
I'm doing my ritual Animal Crossing morning chores right now and when I'm done I'll start up Doom Eternal to finish 100% completion I think I understand Matt completely
@@czproductions It's your choice for missing out, but there's no hate because it's not a game for everyone. Just like how some people don't like Doom, some people don't AC and that's just apart of finding your own appeal, my friend :)
My wife and I actually really enjoy playing on the same island. We get to pool our resources and ideas together to make our island awesome, and we still have our own spaces (houses/yards) to express ourselves as individuals. There are money-rocks and shiny spots every day for each of us, and we simply share things like fruits and fossils. We work together on decisions like who we'll invite to our island, how we'll build our town, etc., and we get to share the workload rather than grinding endless hours on our own. This is the most fun we've had in a video game together! With that being said, I definitely agree that there are many quality-of-life improvements to be made in the game. Crafting and the dialogue often feel sluggish, and we find ourselves mashing B through our characters' frequent inner-monologue. I think the game could feel a lot more fluid without sacrificing the Animal Crossing's unique, lovable personality.
Fiance: "You chopped all the wood?" Me: "A log bench was the hot item of the day!" Fiance: "UAAAGHH," My Brother: (sarcastically) "How'd you guys break up? Animal Crossing..."
Honestly, I did the same thing and now I'm really happy I did because our island is turning out really nice and it's genuinely heartwarming to hear her get excited over a new villager moving in or catching a new species of fish. She's caught, like, seven Oarfish by now and I have measly Coelacanth lol
@@trickytreyperfected1482 We definitely share, but with the Nook Miles Tickets, I don't really need to fret over things like crafting resources and I've learned how to read Sow Joan's Stalk Exchange well enough to profit off of it without needing the money rock; and that's without mentioning the convenience of selling things at night and having the money go directly into your account for debt payment. New Horizons has made it so I don't care of she takes all of the fossils or gets all of the tree items, I can still progress rapidly enough for my own enjoyment. Besides, if she buys something she thinks I might like, she orders it for me from her catalogue the next day and vice-versa.
He's absolutely right about the Nook Terminal cancer. Trying to purchase multiple things from it is such a pain because the dialogue is constantly stopping you. And then I realized, each of the stores has WAY too much dialogue in general. Every time you leave they stop your character and say bye. Why not just let me walk out the door and wave as I do? I know it is only a couple of seconds, but jeeze I'm getting tired of mashing the b button to make the dialogue go by faster every time I walk into and out of a store.
It's a very Japanese thing. They're accustomed to store employees always greeting you and thanking you for coming by, so of course that influence would make it into AC.
Sorry guys, Girlfriend Reviews is cancelled. We’ve lost her eternally to New Horizons. The next time we get a video is when the next Animal Crossing comes out.

I had to buy my wife her own switch because of this game. A 40 year old, mother of 2, threatened to kill our kids for messing with her save. Now she has her own switch to play as much as she wants.

“You’ll never find me...”
LOL!!!!!
Animal Crossing New Horizons is so addicting that it has turned my mother into a gamer. Not even joking she was teaching me how to play the other day. Has anyone ever experienced this phenomenon of a non gaming mom teaching a gamer about a game?
The Legendary Skittle my mother and father have played every single day since it came out and I bought it. My mom will come in and tell me to get off the game because she wants to play...But at least my museum is getting finished pretty quick lol
My mother taught me how to play Ultima Online because one of her friends who played it got her into it. I was already a gamer by this point, but yes, yes I have.
My mom got addicted to plants vs zombies when it first came out, it got to a point where she would play survival on the hardest difficulty and be bored. She could play a round of survival for weeks and she also maxed out her money earned in the game. She said the game was too easy, and even though i play videogames regularly i have never got nearly as good as her in the tower defense area. She has since quit pvz and doesn't care for any of the new ones.
Yes, that happened to my mom with the Gamecube Animal Crossing. She completed the museum and paid off her fully expanded house before I did. XD
My mom used to be obsessed with farmville
I adore New Horizons, however he makes really valid points about the game's flaws.
One thing that *really* brings me down is the fact there's little to no way to interact with other players, mini-games, interactive expressions, interactive objects, you can use to have fun with your friends, that's what this game desperately needs, hopefully the updates made to this game will increase interactivity, it would be incredible.
He makes another good factor about crafting. I hope the devs make an update to the game where you can access the storage for materials, and automatically craft the things you want
No, those arent't valid points. That's how the game is and how fans like it. If you don't like Animal Crossing, don't try to change it, just stop playing. It's that easy.
@@eltopomayor there's nothing wrong for making suggestions and opinions for improving a game that seems pretty bland and boring to me
@@mr.frenzy7304 it's selling millions, so there's nothimg wrong with the game. If you don't like it don't play it, clown.
@@mr.frenzy7304 "to me" being the qualifier there. I don't like call of duty, I find them bland and boring, so should I ask the devs to make the guns swords instead? For me that is.
Animal crossing is a slow burn, and I completely understand why some people will never get into the series, but asking the devs change things you find bland and boring is just kinda... Pointless.
That said, it could totally stand for some QoL tweaks, as mentioned in the video, so I agree with the reviewer there, but you specifically talk about tweaking gameplay, and (depending what you meant by that) that would be a huge no for me. Could they ADD to the gameplay? Sure! But don't change the fundamentals.
AC has always been about playing it your way, so if you can't find fun things to do with the multiplayer as it is, then maybe it's you (not YOU specifically) that isn't fun, and not the game.
I had my sister, her bf, my niece come to my island for Easter and made a fun mini game for us to play, all using what's readily available in the game. Would a premade mini game have been fun? Yeah, sure, but for how long?

bumpin This is like the only game I ever see my girlfriend play, and a solid 30 percent of what I hear about the game is how absurd the mechanics are
bumpin 100% I love the game (maybe not as much as my gf) but he’s absolutely right.
I can’t help but feel “Really Nintendo? You had a decade and this is the best you can do?” I love animal crossing for many many many reasons but I actually think stardew valley is better/there is more to do and the mechanics make sense/are better thought out.
Part of me wonders what everyone would think of the game if we weren’t in lockdown and had nothing better to do.
Still love the game but thought it was a bit of a let down, especially for as much build up and time that had taken place since the GameCube version.
This game has so many quality of life improvements it makes all the things the didn't fix stand out. I love AC but hearing the same repetitive dialogue every time I want to fly to an island isn't charming after the 50th time nevertheless the 500th time. Sometimes being an animal crossing fan means suffering a lot of stupid pointless stuff to mindlessly grind towards meaningless rewards. Or something like that.

I have to say, Matt nailed the reasons why Animal Crossing is feeling like a real drag. That lack of multiple quality-of-life features sometimes makes me wanting to go back to Minecraft.
GriffJS This is understandable if you’re new to the franchise, but compared to previous games the QOL improvements are insane. Yes, these things were even worse before (example, having to identify one fossil at a time)

It's not about the trivial things tho, it's about the experience as a whole. You can't just knock a game off your list because of minor inconveniences the game has. Sure, they can add up in games, but animal crossing is a game where the experiences overshadow the minor things to the point where the minor things can even become charms in due time. Give the game some time.

@@TinPrince Ba Ba has a point tho. Going to other people's homes and such not knowing what they have done or who they have interacted with and doing the "normal things" is one of many reasons the United States has the highest amount of coronoa virus cases. Being safe is top priority here, the coronoa virus is dangerous, and many people _still_ don't care about being safe. Granted, "ba ba" assumed an awful lot here, he/she assumed they weren't being safe, they didn't live in the same house, etc. Acting like they knew them. You shouldn't be so quick to dismiss people tho, that goes for practically everyone here. I also don't get why you call them racist, they said the n word to a person with a profile picture of someone who doesn't have a black skin color so I'd assume they are black and use the word frequently, like it's a habit. Many of my black friends use the word frequently, so I don't see how it was racist.

Y'know, Matt is right, there are absolutely an absolutely massive amount of inconveniences in the game that does make it a chore to watch and play sometimes
From what I've heard it's even WORSE compared to previous games in the series for some horrible reasons
@CarlyKpdx Like if they want people to enjoy a slower pace, don't put in BS artificial time wasters!!
Do things like increase timers or add timers for building and such, but allow you to do multiple diferent ones at once.
That or like...making things harder by requiring more sources an other stuff.
@CarlyKpdx I mean you can still have a nice slow pace but being unable to craft multiples items of something, etc etc it's just little quality of life stuff to make the grind a little more enjoyable
@CarlyKpdx There is absolutely no reason the gold tools should break at all. We still have to craft pretty much everything else, why not just reward us for getting every fish in the game with an indestructible fishing rod? And you can't even customize the gold tools to reset their durability which makes them almost worse than regular tools.

“There are three unused buttons, and how dare you” I had to pause the video I laughed so much 10/10 review
@@Besayren that was a shorted version of something like this: "How dare you, developers, make me "stop, open the item wheel and equip something" (which is 4 button presses and annoying as dang) to do something so a) simple and b) extremely often used in the gameplay as hopping over rivers or climbing ledges? Things like that should be a lot easier and faster to access, and you could have done it easily, since you have three buttons on the controllers that literally have no functions at all. This crap is important, bad usability is what makes people leave and never come back. Imagine UA-cam making you expand a list of reactions to leave a like or dislike, or ask you every time after you click on a video if you REALLY want to watch it. Annoying, right? That's an example of making things only ONE click further away than they should be. And you bloody make me do four moves to perform the most basic maneuvers that I sometimes need to do several times in 20 seconds! This is unacceptable and how dare you make this game so annoying!"

I’m a big fan of animal crossing but this one just feels like there isn’t anything to do but the core gameplay loop. The island tours are barren compared to the island in new leaf, and there aren’t mini games to play with friends anymore. Whenever I play with friends, I just show up, buy from their shops and leave
@@CapnNapalm it's true, the island tours are a complete downgrade where rng gives you the chance to experience ONE of the cool aspects of the old islands, where you could have gone and gottem all of them at once, every time. I suppose they were trying to balance the progression speed, but boy is it annoying.
@@azurepulse1870 Progression in the game is already slow enough though. Took forever to get terraforming without time travel. I wish the island tours were either more like the dream world shop or the island from new leaf. Heck, I liked when there were villagers on the mystery islands to meet. It reminded me of the gameboy island in the gamecube one. Either way, seeing something cool 1/10 of the time isn't fun
I've seen this channel in my recommended feed so many times and never watched anything. Now I'm wondering what took me so long, the editing is amazing and it makes me laugh so much.
I bought this game for my wife. She had never played an Animal Crossing game before. She loved it so much she bought her own Switch and another copy of the game. I decided to give it a go since it was on my Switch anyway. I got hooked. I can't explain why I love this game, but I play for 4-6 hours daily, minimum. Gotta say though, I wholeheartedly agree with every single thing you were nitpicking about. They all drive me insane and I complain about them regularly.

I agree 100% I played the game literally every day since it's come out, and I see the mandatory wait times for some things as part of immersing myself but all the quality of life features he mentioned beyond that like being able to craft with stuff in your storage, having customization not be a separate menu, and being able to purchase nook miles tickets at the airport would do so much to improve the overall experience.
@CarlyKpdx I think if enough people complain they might fix some of the minor QOL issues or add more activities for multiplayer. In the previous game New Leaf there was an island called Tortimer's Island that had minigames, I don't see why they can't add those. I haven't played New Leaf in years but I remember they were similar to how the fishing tourney and bug off work in this game where you could compete to see who could catch the most fish/bugs in a set amount of time, things like that.
@CarlyKpdx They'll likely add some things that were in the previous game, like extra facilities and some other activities, but these quality-of-life improvements mostly won't be fixed because they were intended to be there.

Steven O'Brien he doesn’t want to play it. He has been playing Doom on PS4. Win/Win
I hope he's okay with that being your switch now, your animal crossing village is locked to the system so even if you played your game on a different switch you would have to make a new village. the only way to play your village is to play on that specific switch.
“So immersed in the game she talks about them like real people” Sounds like you with stardew valley

My wife and I actually really enjoy playing on the same island. We get to pool our resources and ideas together to make our island awesome, and we still have our own spaces (houses/yards) to express ourselves as individuals. There are money-rocks and shiny spots every day for each of us, and we simply share things like fruits and fossils. We work together on decisions like who we'll invite to our island, how we'll build our town, etc., and we get to share the workload rather than grinding endless hours on our own. This is the most fun we've had in a video game together!
With that being said, I definitely agree that there are many quality-of-life improvements to be made in the game. Crafting and the dialogue often feel sluggish, and we find ourselves mashing B through our characters' frequent inner-monologue. I think the game could feel a lot more fluid without sacrificing the Animal Crossing's unique, lovable personality.

We definitely share, but with the Nook Miles Tickets, I don't really need to fret over things like crafting resources and I've learned how to read Sow Joan's Stalk Exchange well enough to profit off of it without needing the money rock; and that's without mentioning the convenience of selling things at night and having the money go directly into your account for debt payment. New Horizons has made it so I don't care of she takes all of the fossils or gets all of the tree items, I can still progress rapidly enough for my own enjoyment.
Besides, if she buys something she thinks I might like, she orders it for me from her catalogue the next day and vice-versa.

Hahaha this was an amazing change of pace. Love this
He's absolutely right about the Nook Terminal cancer. Trying to purchase multiple things from it is such a pain because the dialogue is constantly stopping you. And then I realized, each of the stores has WAY too much dialogue in general. Every time you leave they stop your character and say bye. Why not just let me walk out the door and wave as I do? I know it is only a couple of seconds, but jeeze I'm getting tired of mashing the b button to make the dialogue go by faster every time I walk into and out of a store.
It's a very Japanese thing. They're accustomed to store employees always greeting you and thanking you for coming by, so of course that influence would make it into AC.
