I was thinking of making an Animal Crossing thread but I'll just ask here: if I've only played the original AC on GameCube would I like the one on Switch or should i just not bother?
Do you want a tedious godmode dollhouse with way less content than the sims in exchange for collectable animals neighbors? If so, yes. If you liked AC for the comfy feeling of being a simple resident in a quirky little town in the middle of nowhere with villagers who treat you as such, no.
The only thing New Horizons did right was finally implement that the villagers won't move out unless you allow them to. New Leaf had this weird in between thing and the original, you'd lose villagers anytime you visited another town. But if that doesn't bother you, New Leaf and the original did everything else better. If you want the dollhouse aspect, just play Happy Home Designer on the 3ds, it's better.
I don't even care about collecting real things so collecting digital things doesn't interest me at all. I guess if I want comfy and chill I gotta just play the original again.
>New Leaf had this weird in between thing
It wasn't weird, it was way better than how NH or even the original handles it. The only problem is they'll basically ask you for permission when what should happen is villagers should have a real affection/friendship stat that determines whether or not they'd tell you, ask your opinion or just move out. You should not have total control over your villagers, they're supposed to be your neighbors, not dolls or pets to customize your town with.

That and the ability to actually place furniture outside. The problem is it came at the sacrifice of literally everything else that gave animal crossing its identity. Boring character interactions, unnecessary dialogue boxes stacked on top of each other, an online experience that's the equivalent of drinking lemonade made with salt instead of sugar. Doesn't help its only aspect that was actually put together well that being the furniture was constantly getting shit on and looked inferior to what was being pumped out on the god damn gacha mobile game. That shit is still receiving updates.
>would I like the one on Switch or should i just not bother?
Youll like it for a month or two
Pirate it and enjoy, it has very little staying power like the older ones though.
>>nips liked it so much they retranslated it back
Treehousegays keep spouting this meme with zero proof when the more likely scenario is the nips just copypasted their original text back into the game because they only liked the added holidays and furniture.
This isn't actually true, all the text that already had an equivalent in DnM and DnM+ stayed the same for DnMe+.
What is correct is that they carried over many of the localization's changes to the character designs, furniture, landscape (e.g. shrine to fountain) and holidays. They seemed to like those more than the originals, so they were the basis for all future games to begin with. This is why Tortimer wears a top hat instead of a beret, or Tom Nook's apron has a leaf instead of kanji, in the Japanese versions of Wild World onwards.
How do they frick up the dialogue in these games so badly?
You only get dialogue per personality and you run through that in a month even when played sparingly, they could have given lines per personality type, animal, special characteristics and lastly a few unique lines per character so even if you run through the villagers you do have you'll always have something that you haven't seen.
GC Animal Crossing is one of the few things that makes me feel like an old man.
When I think about it, I understand the cliche of old people talking about the "good old days"
I was 12 when AC came out, and its insane how different my life (and the world) is now compared to 2002.
The worst part is, my favorite part about AC being unapologetic and rigid means I probably dont have the patience or time to play it these days.
Makes me sad
post ankha
there's nothing remotely sexy about this cat coomers are deranged
homosexual
No, fight about whether the game is called "Animal Crossing" or "Animal Crossing - Population: Growing"
That's always a riot.
back when NES games were included
I miss that aspect
>We will NEVER do online subscription
>Hey guys here is online subscription
>Oh heres some microtransactions too
Ecards were DLC

I want a dollhouse more tbh
Then I'd recommend an older sims game first, AC second, but if total control dollhouse is what you're after that is what modern AC wants to be.
Sims is life sim and microtransaction sim. I want mother fricking cute animal DOLLS.
Okay, I'll save my time then. Thanks for responding.
Okay what game are you trying to shill? Post it. Or is it just frickin sims...
I just wanted to know if the newest AC was anything like the first one. If it's not then I'm not interested.
lol stop trolling. Also Ace Combat 7 is GOAT.
I was talking about Armored Core, moron.
First one is ps1 kino for sure but it is also clunk core. No reason for from soft to make such a smoll game these days.

But all people want is more control over their towns and villagers.
Women are not all people and that's the problem. AC used to be for everyone, now it slants way too heavily towards what women want.
>now
It's been like that since New Leaf, arguably City Folk.
It's been getting more and more like that with each game yes, but NH was by far the most egregious about it. Game was practically made for twitter.
NH just expanded upon what NL started.
but they like me, I am the mayor

Don't bother.
I don't have to remember, I'm emulating e+.
Me too buddy
Modern troony animal crossing fans would rope if they played the original

Wouldn't be hard to prove if anyone spoke nip and looked at e+

>objectively improved text
nu-AC maps made by the autists here when New Horizons came out were better
>waterfall not to the south
>that tiny speck of land you can't access without the swimsuit
instant trash
I bet the campsite fricked with this fricker's autism.
not to the south
Why would you want this over it being to the north like in that image?

It looks better.

I miss when the game first came out and anons would go into these turnip selling worlds to steal tips that randoms would drop on the ground.
So what is your favorite hourly tune?
They are all good, but by far the best song in the whole series is the original Rainy Day song.
Love the melancholy feeling of this one.
reject dollhouse sims
return to tradition
City Folk was the beginning of the end with the lobotomized villagers and lack of soul. Not to mention the awful grass deterioration.
The only good entry in this series is the original because I grew up with it.
>lobotomized villagers and lack of soul
you didnt play it
