is it worth getting into? is it too late to get into?
how many hours a day do you sink into it?

Half a hour a day. It's fun in small doses.

it's a boring grind and the new content, which was promised to be a dripfeed, has somehow been less than that

Zig Forums got filtered by it.

You'll probably like it if you have a low iq. Otherwise sell it and play the original in dolphin if you have any interest in the series at all.

The longer you wait the better, it's missing a ton of content

>is it too late to get into?
It's Animal Crossing, not a PVP gacha game. Yes, you can still get Twitter likes and Reddit upvotes if you post screenshots online.

i like daily grind games, right now i just do that with free-to-plays. is this the game for me?
how about a single player game for someone with no friends who's not on social media?

It's easily the worst game in the series, it's essentially in early access. The only people saying otherwise are people who have never played an Animal Crossing game before.
If you like "daily grind" games, I'd absolutely recommend New Leaf or the original, those are the best two versions of the game. New Horizons removes mountains of daily activities/content in general.

>ow about a single player game for someone with no friends who's not on social media?
The GameCube one is better for that, honestly. You can do anything you want on the Switch one, but the item catalog is lacking and you're encouraged to trade items with friends to get alternate colors and shit like that.

thanks for the information user. hmmm, i'm thinking i should really return it and get another game instead.

i've only played the switch version and just a little bit, it was kind of fun visiting my siblings villages, but now i have no one to play it with. it just seems like a boring timehole to me desu

not "daily grind", just a fucking grind
>oh you want to build this furniture?
>you need a bunch of wood
>and to get the wood you need an axe, which is going to break after a few uses
>and you also need this other random item that's a bitch to obtain
>just for a decorative object

sorry i meant the wii version, not the switch version

the last couple games have been boring timeholes. new leaf had a bit more to do behind it but there was a pervasive grind for bells in order to do anything with your town, seeing as there was an expectation of 4 people all playing on the same cart, contributing bells

I genuinely think it might be worth playing after two years of updates. The game has great graphics, and it's not like they haven't added good things, they just take absolute fucking centuries and the game is still behind the original in complexity. Plus it has the worst furniture selection out of any game, and collecting furniture is kinda one of the biggest parts of the series.

that doesn't sound fun at all... i want to exchange it for mario kart but i know i'll sink 1,000hrs into it lmao. fucking love mario kart
i still remember my siblings villages, there really doesn't seem like there's a point in playing animal crossing if you have no one to play it with desu

do you think maybe you have stockholm syndrome

hmmmm yeah i don't get the point in playing it... is it relaxing?

No, trust me, the game is fucking dogshit and I loathe these faggots for turning Animal Crossing of all things into early access cancer.
But now and again they do nice things, it feels like if they stopped sitting on their hands and holding back content for the sake of stretching shit out, the game could be good.

>there really doesn't seem like there's a point in playing animal crossing if you have no one to play it with desu
the older games had a nice balance of collecting shit for the museum, helping villagers, filling out your house, and paying it off. it wasn't bad for a "play a little every day" kind of game.
The newer games focus on one area over others and it causes the rest to suffer. especially villager interactions, oof.

okay i 'could' win the lottery but telling people i'm going to buy them shit prematurely is just bad sense. don't spout positives based on your own optimistic hopes and dreams

no, it's frustrating keeping track of how to get this and how to obtain that and oh god should i go on a discord and find someone to trade with so i have this

it's just not fun anymore

>mario kart
Take the CTR pill instead

ever played New Leaf? well, this is New Horizons. go figure...

I mean, much of the appeal is about customizing your house and the town, as well as collecting items, bugs, fish, etc.
New Horizons in particular suffers greatly from how terrible the furniture selection is, and how absolutely grindy everything feels. There are constant season-exclusive DIY recipes which require you to just stand around and scan the sky of the island for floating presents. New Horizons has the benefit of terraforming and placing furniture items outside for the first time in the series, but these two pros are greatly outweighed by how many features are drastically worse or removed.
For example, every game in the series but New Horizons has had feng shui- if you decorate your house the right way, it manipulates your luck, making rarer furniture appear more often, getting better fish, having better relationships with villagers, and so on.
Oh, and don't get me started about villagers. Villagers were made shallow in New Leaf, but they're a fucking tragedy in New Horizons, they're literally not even worth talking to since you only get dialogue events when they talk to you first, not the other way around, which is again, pure random, so that's more grinding.
It's just a fucking mess I could complain about without end.

i kind of feel bad about returning the game but i definitely will...

this makes it seem too wrapped up in social media and i'm not on social media anymore.

why not Garfield Kart Furious Racing?

thanks for this post user. it really sounds like the soulless entry in the series

The game basically requires you to trade online in order to get shit. It's some of the worst shit I've ever seen.
So, in every other animal crossing game, the shop will have certain item pools with different rarities, with items in these pools showing up less commonly, and these pools are random for every town.
In New Horizon, instead of just making a percentage of the items more rare, the shop only HAS a minority of the items purchasable in the game. In order to get the items that aren't in your shop, you either have to get them randomly from random floating presents, from random villager gifts, or randomly from trees.
To make this even more frustrating, most shop items in this game have "variations", which are unchangable color palettes of that furniture. Each variation counts as a distinct furniture item. Thus, obtaining items all of one set that are all the same color is extremely tedious.

wtf... this game sounds like it'd just make me feel even more frustrated and alone than i already am lmao

Depends on what you do
Terraforming may take days or even weeks if you are not good at planning
Once you are done with tutorial and paying off all home loans, there's just daily stuff like fossils, weeding, or collecting crafting material. Again, this will depend on what you want to craft.
This is my usual routine after paying off all of my home loans:
Clear the island (pick up weeds and sticks, dig up fossils)
Gift villagers (either fruits or some clothing)
Check new stuff in shops and nook shopping
That's it. It gets boring, but I only play because I don't want the island to turn into a mess and I want to interact with villagers daily
The events are decent and add some new dialogue and interactions, but it lasts for a short time and then its back to usual daily stuff
Honestly, I don't think it's worth it if you are not looking forward to do this daily. Updates are free, but there's no guarantee if the game will even have as many updates to add content from past games and maybe even more.....
The devs already skipped september and november, and now they're skipping january

Yeah, it really is a fucking abomination of a title. It's frustrating that most people are quick to brush it off as "just another animal crossing title" when it's so absolutely devious in how flawed it is.
It plays like a F2P mobile game that's meant to get you to pay for the freemium currency by having tons of random mechanics and intentionally giving you bad pulls, except that there is no freemium currency and no escape to how awful the game is.

This too. The latest updates have been pretty lackluster. So it's not even worth looking forward for updates

>It plays like a F2P mobile game that's meant to get you to pay for the freemium currency by having tons of random mechanics and intentionally giving you bad pulls, except that there is no freemium currency and no escape to how awful the game is.
oh man, it sounds so soulless. i am 100% going to return it.

lookup a guide on how to advance the story and unlock all the essentials

Gotta relax quickly

I'll recommend returning it then
You'll probably have much more fun with mario kart. Sadly, acnh feels like an empty game

>using a guide
cringe

It's sad this game quickly became a decorator simulator instead of an island life simulator
normies, faggots and trannies ruin everything as usual
