Stylized games have soul, if they're obvious cashgrabs I don't think the designers will dedicate that much effort into quality.

I'd fuck them both

Why did I get bored of new horizons when I enjoyed the n64 version so much

>tfw still have my town named "!"
>started it when I got it as a bday gift
>the year it came out
>gamecube cmos battery just died recently
My wii is homebrewed and I dont wanna risk it. I'm considering swapping my cubes cmos battery though. Still the only AC game I enjoy. Maybe it's all the NES roms and the ost.

I mean the GameCube Version lol

The general idea is the opposite, if something is buggy, unpolished and ugly then the makers cared more about it, harboring more of the creator's souls

ehh, i never cared for the n64 texture quality. the animal text in new horizon is beyomd gay, tho

>what gives a game soul?
giving a shit beyond
>how can we make money with this?

then why not call it effort you meme spewing cunt?

The original game characters were designed as chibi's. The new game makes the characters taller with longer limbs, giving them uncanny proportions and reaping the soul.

Original soundtrack was peak soul. A complete genre of its own, 80% of the songs had a warm cozy feeling. New game is soulless I can't even begin to explain where they went wrong. Maybe some hack music artist who thought they could do it better.

Most importantly the game was from an era when the playerbase was normal. I'm not sure what happened and why milennials are such faggots now. Everyone seemed normal growing up then BAM half of young people look like a fuckin hipsters hellbent on destroying everything with their half baked neo-arxist ideology.

neither does "soul" you fucking retard
AC1 is full of tons of jank and is missing tons of features and QoL that the later games have yet people jerk off to it like it's the best in the series for good reason

*no good reason

AC1 actually had a patched version to fix some of its bugs and add features but it was Japan only.

That old one looks like shit.

Because it is, at its core, the most focused on what it wants to be. Jank and bad QoL is not dismissed, and is a fair point, but none of the follow ups address the core of the game in any meaningful way, opting to just pile more stuff on and simplify villager interactions. AC felt like moving into a new neighborhood and trying to get along with your neighbors. NH I am borderline god.

I think its because the villagers in the older games had personality, hell all the characters did, and the game was about making new friends in a small village. The colors were a lot darker which made it feel a whole lot cozier. Meanwhile the new game is basically one of those city builder mobile games with animals, mixed with minecraft. Theres more emphasis on designing an island rather than making a home for yourself. Even though youre new, everyone sucks your dick. Youre pretty much god. Everything is pretty much cosmetic, from the villagers who repeat themselves constantly to all the fashion and the grafix which make everything look like shiny rubber. Hell, the game isnt even finished because theyre dripfeeding seasonal events. Theres also no GYROIDS WHAT THE FUCK NINTENDO WHERES MY MEGA DINKLOIDS

>soul
When a dev attempts to make the most out of a new concept, don't shy away from abstraction, and fully realize that their game will have a niche audience, because it a game that they largely made for themselves.

>soulless
When a dev kowtows to the whims of publishers, shareholders, or social pressure to make their game ultimately designed by committee. Tired norms, predictable mechanics, the bland and mundane are seen as "safe", in their attempt to appeal to a broad market audience. Abstraction is shunned, conceptualization is broken down into flowcharts and speculation-driven metrics. If it has an audience that is anything less than the mass market and lowest common denominator, it is deemed as a failure - no matter how devoted its niche following might be.

You will never be a woman.

Not a footfag in the slightest but I would kiss and lick those 'till the cows come home

>but none of the follow ups address the core of the game in any meaningful way
I don't agree at all. The customization alone makes the newer games feel way better than the first one. Hell having actual storage alone is more than enough reason to play the newer games instead of just stuffing junk on your floor like a fucking degenerate. The only thing that's really gotten worse with the games is the villager dialogue.

I miss the viking hat the male character used to wear
