- Hey everyone, here is a video I have been working on for awhile. I have a lot of love for Animal Crossing New Horizons, but I do have one big problem with it and I am discussing it in this video. Please remember that this is my opinion, and I would love to hear your opinions in the comments below. Thank you all so much for watching.

#fixthevillagers
So true, I stopped playing new horizons for a while, because I was so bored. Every villager just feels fake and bland. Sadly I never got to play the older animal crossing.
#fixthevillagers
The best villagers have ever been was in Wild World. Apparently City Folk broke the hobby system, it remains broken until New Horizons where it’s been erased from existence.
#fixthevillagers
I got hornsby and Judy and rex
@@jupitervideos7702 Same Here
YOU FORGOT ONE THING THATS WRONG! The thing that’s wrong the biggest problem is that there....
IS NO FROGGY CHAIR!!! REEEEEE
All villagers need to be more like Sable, you get to know about her the more you talk to her.
Agree
even with sable, its still underwhelming :(
@@glitterat ikr I love sable but her dialogue is terrible
@@glitterat yeah... I love the older games and now I just feel so lonely playing the newer games
New Horizons has this dialogue for villagers. Talking to them a few times in a row will dig past the 'contextual' dialogue and will unlock more interesting things. I never knew Marshal used to be in a band and hated some guy named 'Nick' :o
I honestly despise the music in new horizons.
I hope that there will be a feature to change hourly themes to those from old themes, like a dlc pack.
The only good music is 12 pm and 5 pm. I'd really like to listen to New Leaf's 5 pm and 8 pm again
It's also too loud. When I play my juke box near resident services, I have to be right next to it to hear it. Wish we had the option to have the old songs back!
I only like 5am music.. That's all
Some of it is annoying and catchy but forgetable
I agree with every single statement! I also miss A LOT my neighbors showing me the letters I wrote to them and making fun comments about them. I miss them visiting my house and getting upset if I missed the appointment. I miss the relationship I had with everyone of my villagers.
i miss how the villagers had hobbies, likes and dislikes, more say on the islands appearance and major decisions, more propper personalities, that effect your friendship or even the way they build a friendship with you makes it realistic and kind of touching
Villagers still kinda have hobbies in new horizons, it's just not very obvious.
Playing hobby: Naruto run
Fashion hobby: Browsing in Able Sisters
Singing Hobby: Singing
Nature hobby: Smelling/Watering plants
Exercise hobby: Exercising
Those are some hobbies some villagers do. I'm sure there's more, but those are for sure some hobbies. They just don't feel the same as before.
I agree. In animal crossing new leaf, Kyle was in the first town I have ever created in the game. We became best friends with each other and he was so unique compared to other characters. But now. He's literally the same as raymond or phill, or O'hare. Its frustrating and the relationship building was the reason why new leaf and the franchise in general was so dear to me. Now it's more about looks and who fits the islands asthetic.
@@justicefoster955 you are absolutely right. I couldn't have said it better
Justice Foster oh god you explained it better than I did
I miss when villagers always talk shit about you and your appearance.
Sometimes, I just play the Animal Crossing for Gamecube for at least 10 times a month cause it still shows the true colors of a villager and their personality.
I definitely agree with this. Even New leaf had more interesting interactions, villagers would ask for things more often and come over to your house, or invite you over. In acnh I have been asked to do a scavenger hunt ONCE and I have been playing since release, and rarely ever do any of my villagers do anything fun, etc.
Your absolutely right I’ve been playing new horizons when It first came out and I’ve played new leaf all my life. I keep deleting my new horizons town and I’ve never deleted my new leaf town because all of my villagers want to play hide and seek and want to come over to my house but in new horizons... my villagers are just there
What's the scavenger hunt?
This is why people think there's more dialogue in older games when it's actually the same or less. It feels refreshing when a villager approaches you with different things to give you/asks you for something.
same.. though i have noticed over the last few days they are asking for more favors on my part.. i also only had one scavenger hunt happen (my mum also had one.. mine was positive because it was one of the villagers i'm closest with but in my mums case she got completely scammed)
For real! Although I didn't like how some of the villager types were in New Leaf (cranky/snooty especially, they used to be so much harder to be friends with in the older games), I liked how many different things you could do with them. Like hide and seek, burying time capsules, delivering gifts, coming over to their/your house at a specific time. I think they have asked me for scavenger hunts maybe 3 times, and I have played over 300hrs so far.
I just feel like in the other games it took time until you became close to the villagers, in New Horizons it feels like they consider me their best friend after just a few days :(
I also don’t like how Isabell now just talks about her “TV habits”
If I have to hear her talk about her sock one more time...........
Yeah, I liked her mentioning her parents but that was it.
Yeah :/ It would be more useful if she announced the visitor for the day or the weather. With Splatoon 1 and 2, at least Marina/Pearl and Marie/Callie they tell you useful info but Isabelle just tells you nonsense 90% of the time
And don’t forget the magazines
True like i just want to know whether there is someone on the campsite, birthdays, star showings etc
Animal crossings one big problem: we can’t move resident services
YES
And there is NO upgrade.
YES
mine is placed very good actually! I'm lucky I guess:)
YES mine is right in front of my airport BUT it’s not centered so it’s an absolute pain
It's true the villagers have no personality. The traits don't even seem relevant. My grumpy villager is so cheery it's kinda eerie. I also miss villagers visiting your house.
Same 😢
surprise visits were both the greatest and worst thing ever 🥺
i’d be moving my stuff around my house and a villager would randomly come in lmfaoo it was annoying as shit but i miss it
Or if you don’t save Rossetti gets mad at you and takes long time talking with him
Cranky villagers used to be my favourites, but now they've boiled down into just the "old man" personality, even though most of them dont even look old :I
the community makes it seem like theres only like 10 characters
Sadly :(
There's around only 10 disctinct personalities for villagers in the game too
Now all everyone wants are Raymond, Molly, Marshall, Sherb, Beau, Bob, Judy, Audie, Ankah, Fauna, and Stitches. Kinda disappointed no one wants Rocco, Penelope, Hans, or Alfonso...
I pick out the villagers that I think are cute and would fit in my island well. I dont think we should judge people based on the villagers they pick. If you like any of the "ugly" or "unpopular" villagers, you shouldnt be dissing other people on what they like.
Preferences are preferences, everyone has them.
8 actually.
I wish that the characters had more personality of their own it would create a better and more realistic experience
Also I think that's why people are getting tired of the game
Yeah, I mean look at Isabelle for example, she’s not nearly as useful in New Horizons as she is in New Leaf.
@@katylepetsos7512 I agree
Definitely
@@cherryberry9023 yup
Exactly!
"Oh, Audie, You lost your voice AGAIN... OH! And Peanut too! Great...."
It’s why I can’t stand the jocks, it’s just working out and nothing else and you can’t even create a workout area for Them because they won’t interact with it
RIGHT i had bud and he never used anything now bill lives there XD
Yeah imagine being around someone who talks nothing but their muscles. it gets SO annoying really fast when thats all they talk about!
I had to shove Mott into the gym while he was working out so it would seem like he was using it.
I don't know. The only jock I have is Goose, and I've seen him interact with a few things and he talks about my muscles more than his.
I sort of like the jocks in a weird way, but this is also why the peppys are my least favorite personality! They always talk about wanting to be celebrities and bragging like spoiled children, having 2 peppys on the island, while I like them, they get annoying with their voice and conversations, very very quickly!
I feel like the community has majorly shifted from truly bonding with their favorite villagers to picking favorites solely based on looks due to the regression of villager personalities
Sadly. I did like in new leaf they would ask you things randomly like doing a small personality test or so
Not the communities fault, if villagers were more unique and had different, more varied dialogue then people will soon shift to wanting villagers for their personality instead of just for how they look.
It has, and it's sad. Villagers have essentially became 'walking furniture'
wow u paraphrased the 2nd half of this video, congratulations smart guy
The more popular villager, the more money you will get for him. This is like reality
The dialogue is short unless it's inconvenient, like talking to gulliver, crafting etc.
Yeah I wish it was switched
And Gullivarrr
@@markscarberry3882 yeah but he's the same person as gulliver lol
@@diamondrhino64 I agree with the crafting thing but I don't mind reading Gulliver's dialogue, he's one of the most entertaining characters in the game.
Also, Gulliver and Gullivarrr aren't confirmed to be the same person, although it's very possible.
No he’s not. Gulliver has eyes the same of a cross, while Gullivarrr has eyes the shape of X’s
Each villager should have three different stats to determine their conversations: Personality, Species and Style
and their hobby as well
yes!
Willow YES because there could be a jock that favors soccer over other sports, but they’re a bunny and so they’re quiet and dont like telling people but its super obvious because they always wear soccer related clothing AHH i want a villager like that
I feel like there should be one for animations, too, my girl Muffy likes to write about pickles. Why can't she write about pickles? The skill is kinda like an empty promise. It's like being an artist and never drawing,
Also
Flurry wants to be a superhero
Why can't she be a superhero?
Why can't the superhero villagers have code names for eachother or something?
There's no connection between you and the villagers, let alone the villagers with eachother, y'know?
This would be such an amazing feature...
It's also missing the lore. I miss it when it feels so calm and homey whenever I play New Leaf. Then when i talk to my villagers, I sometimes forget that they're animal NPCs. Unlike in New Horizons.. I agree
Raymond: “Ready for a rapping session with good ol’ Raymond?”
Everyone: AHHH HES SO CUTE!!!
Rodney: “Ready for a rapping session with good ol’ Rodney?”
Everyone: EWWW WHY DOES HE SAY THAT?!!!!?!
This is so true lmao
When Barold talks about having bugs in his house people think he is gross, when Sherb/Beau/Bob do it people think they are adorable.
the way i hate rodney and raymond
Yeah, and everyone just judges villagers on their looks
Be honest, we all do
I used to have Rodney in New Leaf and he was my favorite villager. Rodney isn't even that bad looking compared to other villagers.
I've been playing almost since release, talked to my villagers every day, got some photos and switched out some of the villagers.
I NEVER had a request from a villager. No hide 'n' seek. I don't even know what they can do. I've found 2 lost items and I've got most of the emotes but that's it.
The only interesting dialogue is when teo villagers bump into each other and start talking but I've shoved them together for so long I've got repeats even with that. 😭
I started with Wild World as a kid, and honestly it might not have been the best AC but at least it was fun to continue talking to the villagers in that game.
The game needs yo be more like the sims if there was a mash of tbe sims and animal crossing where more inveractive with the items and villagers that would easly be a 10 game most items are just a prop what's fun in that there are bikes and scooters but can't ride them props are pointless why have a basketball net if you can only bounce the ball you can make a ball shoot on the switch there in nba 2k it's not that hard is the guys from animal crossing not that good at programing because the game was delayed a year they said they delayed it to give us the perfect ac game it may be the best of the series does not mean it's perfect at all at most I give it a 6 still the game I play the most just really disappointed
I've been playing since release and i've got a lot a stuff from villagers giving me items, i've found at least 5 lost items, have most emotes, and i've done the "find the item" game twice. I've delivered only a few items and have helped one fight. I'd like to mention I time travel. Most of my villagers are repetitive and boring, so i usually kick them off and find dreamies or another random villager
@Necromorph-chan I don't think hide and seek is in nh unfortunately :( just treasure hunt. I checked on my city folk town a few months ago and in the 15 minutes I played it a villager already asked to play hide and seek with me lol
almost 600 hours put into the game and I’ve never been asked to do the treasure hunt. I have however been asked to deliver apology gifts between two villagers who have gotten in a fight which is cute. I wish they would ask to come over and hang out/ask you to come to their house it was so darn cute
I was asked to play Hide ‘n’ Seek with one of many villagers once, and that was about 5 months ago. I was so confused why they wouldn’t want to do it again or do more games... The last few months were boring, no tasks, no games, but recently, half of my villagers suddenly had thought bubbles about how they bought something they shouldn’t and also how they want me to give their gifts to another villager. It’s like some mechanics of the game forget to activate or something. I really hope they fix the game
It makes me sad because I was so excited to play with my favorite villager friends and build friendships. I havent played it about a month because there's no draw for me anymore. Like okay, cool, I have a perfect town but it feels EMPTY AF
exactly, i stopped playing in may. it sucks because it could be so much better
Same! Ive even considered bying a GameCube controller for my wii and ac population growing since its the only game ive not played and it sounds like a lot more fun
The thing is that while the whole lockdown did initially help to boost this games' (and the Switch's) sales numbers, it also made it obviously clear that we all spent way too much time on this game over an otherwise relatively short time span. Apart from the updates, it feels as if almost all player's have experienced everything there is to the game, no surprises, no new featrures to discover. We burnt ourselves out basically, in our quest to built the most stunning islands and fill it with the most popular villagers. By the end of May, there was hardly anything to do. I think AC isn't a game which should be played execssively over 8 hours each day, except if you're really inspired and want to get your terraforming done (which can be draining in and of itself).
@@D0MiN0ChAn agree
@@D0MiN0ChAn I agree too
I agree I barly talk to my villagers. We should all tweet this at Nintendo
i tweeted it. if these changes were made then i would wanna play more
Yes, do we have an hashtag?
Same. I barely talk to them. I keep forgetting who's on my island
Pai Natal #MakeVillagersGreatAgain
@@zomani1233
Lmfao 😂🤣
Honestly with the unique dialogue gone new horizons just feels like "animal crossing happy island designer"
@@oddity404 Yeah its not all bad it just needs a better script
@Tips in credits, there's so many characters they probably can't put more without the game breaking our switches
@Tips seems you do since you answered lol
@Tips you could've ignored it
I know there are loads of characters but its the same for every animal crossing plus the 3ds had more characters and text than new horizons does but the game didn't break our 3ds
I actually hate that jock villagers only think about working out like “um shut up look at my biceps”
Exactly, I honestly hate jock villagers in acnh
I had to get rid of Louie and when he was moving out he said "I will miss your biceps!" UGH! Someone did a poor job with the jock villagers.
I have sheldon he is my starting villager...BUT, He keeps talking to me about his FREAKING 6-PACK ABS.
and we also need villagers not say like, only half a sentence when you talk to them
this is so true
Main Point: The characters lack the "conversational abilities" that they had in the old games and only talk about their personalities.
i started in wild world and i got attached to every single villegar that came to my town. same thing in new leaf. i got wild world when i moved to a diffrent country and lost almost all my friends. i was so lonely and animal crossing was the best thing i could ever play.
i barely even talk to my new horizons villegars. i just let them walk around like extra accessories to make my island 'look better'. honestly i just hope that they add a personality update.
yessss i loved portia the doggo in new leaf bc she was so sweet and now she’s all about material goods i mean she’s snooty but she was so innocent in new leafffffff she was my best friend
Obligatory homestuck callout (but also facts on what you said)
This entire problem kills the game. The villagers have become these dumb zombies. They used to be so immersive and actually have personality’s. If they replaced the new features and actually gave the villagers some personality I would not mind. #fixthevillagers
At least they aren’t heartbreakingly mean now as they were back then, talk about getting your feelings hurt by your own villagers.
This happened back in new leaf, all the characters act so nicely, it's a little uncanny
@@katylepetsos7512 Yeah I dont want them to be as mean as they were back then. That was too far imo although it was funny af
Katy Lepetsos I got rejected by a villager cause they said I wasn’t their type or something and it kinda hurt
My villagers all do exercise even if it's not a personality trait
The game came out unfinished. That's why certain parts seem fleshed out and others flat and weird. Chances are, Nintendo won't add more dialogue because they've been REALLY bad at improving games and listening to the fanbase.
It is finished, I really don't understand how in any way it is unfinished
Danbo 22 in all previous animal crossing games all features were in the game with no updates after the fact, given the limitations of the consoles and such. However the latest full installment besides new horizons only had one big update 'Welcome Amiibo'. So basically they couldn't get all the features in time so they added it in later. They wouldn't want to delay the release date AGAIN and people in quarantine really needed it. So they cut corners for the time being and released it without some of its features. I mean, look at the lack luster amount of buildings. That's has to be enough proof. Plus they're adding on to buildings like adding art into the museum later rather than having it at the start.
As much as I like New Horizon, it's an unfinished game like Kirby Star Allies and Mario Tennis were at launch. Nintendo philosophy to launch game with not much content and patch it later with free dlc...
Yeah new updates shouldn’t add old stuff that were in the previous games, they should add new stuff, but right now they are just adding stuff that is missing.
Also an another problem of mine with game, New Horizon have less stuff than New leaf since they gonna patch out New Leaf feature later like the sleep thing... Still waiting for the coffeeshop tho.
The music bothers me. The only hourly music I can tell apart from the rest is the 3am music. In Wild World and City Folk I could instantly tell you wich hourly music it was, when you played one randomly.
But NH? It always sounds... The same. And it doesn't have the same charme...
I would love it if you could choose to listen to hourly music from old games, like maybe an option at your mailbox or something?
@@elenapaints972 oh, yes PLEASE.
I would LOVE that! Nintendo, do it. Do it nooow!
No it doesn't??
I can only tell apart 2pm and 3 am
Yep. It all just sounds like bad porn muzak. There are maybe 2 tunes I like. One early in the morning, and the other in the evening. 5pm, I think? The one with the acoustic guitar, and it's because it reminds me of something from Wild World, which had a lovely soundtrack I still listen to now! There's just no heart in this one, and that is heartBREAKING!
I played Wild World growing up, and went back to it recently. True, there wasn't much customization, but the villagers made the game enjoyable. They had likes and dislikes, and personalities!! Sure, they were mean at some points, but if you got to know them they were nicer. They would talk about their past, and open up to you. You would know how they felt, and they felt more like friends. In New Horizons they feel more like accessories.
New Horizons is very customizable, sure, but we don't get the animal part of *Animal* Crossing. It's more of a designing and building game.
I just wish the villagers had personalities again. They don't have to be as mean as they were, but they're just cardboard cutouts in New Horizons.
I kinda liked how some were sassy or rude. Not saying I want people to be SO RUDE with me but it's like getting to make friends and enemys at the same time. I also want the type of drama too which would be really fun! My first game was also Wild World and I grew up playing with it. Ever since New Horizon came out I felt so sad because I needed to get enough money to buy a nintendo switch and the game. I'm probably still planning on doing that but I just wish they would change them into their normal personalities again. Now the villagers just feel like toys that yoy can do anything you want to and they have no sorts of feelings AT ALL. TO BE HONEST I had NO IDEA someone named Raymond existed when I played the game wild word. Only JUST figured it out. I kinda had a little crush on MY GUY MY DUDE Filbert. I still have the game Wild World but one of the sad things is that it's *TOO* overated. People are paying more attention to that and forgetting about the old ones. I'm saying is that people will assume new horizons is about creating your island and all cool like that and well-
Okay sorry I'm talking too much 😅 You get my point and I hope Nintendo sees this video.
Rude Villagers add the charm in humor. Not to mention they are animal, so they are wild beast!
But the more we talk to them, the more they will open up and you become one with the community. This is the principle of AC series.
I used to play wildworld and I really want new horizons but I want it less now that I know the villagers are different 😔
My first ac game was new horizons but as a 3ds and ds lover I knew I had to get ww and nl, it was a great choice. I love new leaf and new horizons, but I truly enjoyed wild world. Having one of my villagers call me ugly,shrimpy and boring was actually refreshing. Also, I loved that the villagers had relationships, like Dotty was dating every guy on my island at least once, pudge had dated like half of the girls on the island and everyone hated Elvis- it was so fun. I loved liking villagers for their personalities, not their looks.
it's also not helped by the fact 90% of the community all have the same 9 villagers, raymond, beau, molly, dom etc. villagers have went from being community to cosmetic items and i want the deep friendships back i had in wild world.
drake was my bestie in wild world and i refuse to get him in NH cos i want the old friendship back
-also low key want my villager to shout out my terrible fashion sense XD
I agree. Joined the community in the first month of the NH launch. It was fun but it started going down the hill after two months. I feel underwhelmed now that all I see are only the popular villagers and most of the newer fans don’t even bother to learn about the rest that aren’t so popular. (Don’t really blame them tho bc their dialogue is the same). Been here since City folk and my bestie was Bluebear. She moved away and I miss her :(
Dom was my starter jock lol but I get what you're saying about everyone wanting the same villagers. Its so boring when you see the exact same villagers walking around 😔
@@ovenbird1253 I recently started again but I hope to cycle through as many villagers as possible but with the very limited dialogue its pointless except just to say I'm not following the trend
I've been to island from Dream Suite and everywhere I go I see the same exact villagers that people have. Raymond, Audie, Shreb, Marshal, Judy, and Audie.
Yeees, drake! finally someone who said it! Drake was my absolute bestie as well, i even made him my island flag but i am afraid once I find him I will know all his dialogue already because i got 3 of his same type already :(
Everyone knows villagers in games after 2001 can't have interesting dialogue, all they know is bug, sleep, book, work out, notice paths, and see other houses.
Nice reference
I completely agree. The villagers no longer feel as natural and real. For me it’s a reflection of the game’s evolution which I’m not the biggest fan of. It feels less like a community, it feels less genuine, the dialogue and characters don’t flow well with the overarching theme of the games.
I remember one specific moment from playing Animal Crossing NH that I feel illustrates this point, I was trying to catch a tarantula and one of my villagers reacted to it. She told me that she used to collect bugs but got bitten too many times. I felt ecstatic, I thought I was about to get a piece of her backstory but instead, she stopped talking and wandered off
God I hate Blathers, he's like a broken record, I have to speed through the same monologue every time I make a donation. Same with the dodos. Like I got it the first time.
Blathers sucks but he’s one of those “too cute to hate” characters and I hate it
I had three villagers with the same personality they said the same thing in a row asking me if I'd choose time, money or friendship it's annoying.
His name is literally Blathers. What do you expect him to do? Orville I understand, but Blathers’s dialogue can stay the same
Jared Arenas facts, he been like that since the game cube version or ds version😂
They need to add another character worker in the residents services for guidance in case you forgot, for example, how the dodo airlines work. Just ask the worker and you get a list of things you want to know about....
i used to think new leaf had weak villagers compared to gamecube so im surprised talking with them is even less interesting in new horizons
This feels like an Early Access version of the game which so many things missing and a lot of issues that plague the experience.
AGREE
It is tho they are not anywhere near finished with the game and it’s updates .
Eeveecorn yea that’s what they had announced when they were talking about the game .
I hate that I gave a crap about the villagers in new horizons yet they’re so bland. I’m gonna replay Wild World and talk to every villager
honestly one of the best games for learning villager backgrounds and lore 😍
I might play WW, but there's no chance of me seeing Tad at all since he was WA, so I'll probably just stick to the OG
Megan Rose also, the music in WW is the best AC music change my mind
This is exactly why I barely speak to my villagers, they repeat themselves way too much and it gets so tiring I don’t have the energy to stay and chat. My first game was ACNL, I played in 2015 and grew up with that. The dialogue in that game is so much more varied then in ACNH, and it’s disappointing.
I no longer have the want to consistently bug my villagers and speak to them- because now all they do is repeat the same lines over and over. Whilst in ACNL, I could have long conversations that I couldn’t even get bored from until said villager needs to take a break and think on their own.
i talk to mine just for the island togetherness nook mile achievement. i just mash B through the whole conversation. after i finish that i don’t think i’ll talk to them anymore
Its not just the villagers there are many other big problems with New Horizons:
1. You can only have one island per switch
2. Crafting is so limited when you can craft one at a time
3. The Online is so bare bones and the idea you have to wait to see who is arriving as a loading screen is the worst!
4. There is a lack of rewards when all you're doing is earning Nook Miles
5. Isabelle repeats the same announcements and only talks about her life rather than telling you which special villager is visiting
6. There is no way to store your flowers or diys
7. You cannot trade bugs or fish to your friends
8. There is no shop upgrades and we only 2 shops which is really not enough
9. The NookPhone is not as useful because there is just a lack of useful apps
10. Most Furniture theme sets from past AC games are not in this game.
YES I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE THE VILLAGERS.. I literally don't care about any of the other wee issues if they would just flesh out our villagers more :(
I feel like trading bugs and fish with friends would make the game a bit to easy for new players. It would ruin the fun of bug catching and fishing for them. Everything else on your list is spot on though.
YESS! and you can't change the town hall's location, something that if you put on a bad place, you're screwed.
@@purpleheadache6455 Well you need to realize that most of the bugs and fish are only caught on certain months and thats why some people choose to time travel to get them. It would really help those other people who don't time travel to get the bugs they need so they can get the golden net and golden rod.
11 you can’t buy in bulk at the Ables ughhh
Honestly it has come to the point where people on tik tok and other platforms will try and have the “ugliest” villagers just to complain.
ILike Waffles2 right! I honestly think all villagers are so cute, just look at them!
@@fluffless2769 agreed !!
Yea it's so sad... Before New Horizons no one bullied their villagers like they do it now...
@@mitchelleee6007 i mean i only bullied one but i just didn't like him overall.. he kept sending me these creepy ass letters and i was like NOPE
it makes me so sad to see them hit them with nets or trapping them:(
Yeah the villagers I REALLY REALLY don't like what they did with them in this game. They all say the same freaking thing which is why I had to move out 5 of my normal villagers because I had 7 of them and they just won't stop talking the same thing. I got more villagers with different personality and while that did shake things up they still end up talking about the same topics. I mean my god they are like robots and not really full of character development. Its so annoying when you're trying to talk to them yet they keep reminding stuff you already heard them say like 100 times!
I cared for my villagers at the beginning. It broke my heart even when the most annoying villager wanted to leave (peppy personality)... until I got a double personality wise. Then it just slowly declined to, eh, I don't care if you leave, maybe a cool unicorn could replace you
Same, they should have added more personality types at least
The lazy villagers used to always be my favorite. Now they're my least favorite (along with peppy villagers). When I think of 'lazy' I generally don't think of 'talking to bugs in the floor.' Seems more like a 'crazy' personality to me. I think I get what they were trying to go for though. Lazy villagers are too lazy to clean their houses. A dirty house means bugs show up. Villager doesn't care because he is lazy. So they befriend the bugs. But you have to do some mental gymnastics to come up with this stuff. All personalities need more dialogue though, definitely.
I agree with everything
i think the talking to bugs in the floor is also because lazy villagers seem to be presented as little kids in new horizons, ive heard lots of little kids call bugs their friends and stuff like that
I know I hate their “personality” in new horizons... (I started in wild world)
I started in Pocket Camp,
Cause I either can't find an avalible version of an old one, it's too expensive, or I don't have the console for it, But I DID get my mom to get a Nintendo Switch JUST for Animal Crossing New Horizons, I love watering my flowers, Putting furniture all over my house and island, Checking Nooks Cranny and the Able Sisters everyday, Attempting to fill the Museum and Having villagers I love!
But those Villagers barely say anything new! It's always, "The moon is so far away, I'm gonna walk all the way around the island until i've walked as far as the moon is!" Or "Have you been to _______'s house before?"
I Wasn't even born when wild world was out I think but my first gamme was let's ggo tto tthe city. And it was to confusing so I didn't pllay it

Kyubeyz_ I fixed it
My problem is that I don’t really feel the same connection to this game as I did with New Leaf, like I don’t feel the urge to play everyday for hours and hours, and idk why this is happening because the game itself is not bad
Same
I played animal crossing on the wii and I have to amt ITS BETTER THEN NEW HORIZON!!!
The gameplay is restricted and limited because of content held back in updates. That's what I felt for the most part when switching between New Leaf and New Horizons.
Yes I put on a specific time where I go on new horizons for an hour everyday and grind then swoop out the Nintendo and get on that game
I’ve only played 2 Animal Crossing games: the first one, and acnh. I spent my entire childhood playing the GameCube game and talking with my villagers to the point of them getting GENUINELY annoyed with me. Now I talk to them in acnh maybe once a day and it feels like a task I never look forward to anymore. When I played the first game, I didn’t know there were specific personality categories. I just thought of each villager as an individual. With acnh, I talk to Elise and get the same exact vibe from her as I get from Eunice (one of my other villagers.) I had Eunice in both games. In the GameCube version, she felt like a sweet grandmother I’d love to talk to and get advice from. In acnh, she feels like the old lady next door who you question if she’s still alive until you see her out walking her chihuahua three months later.
One thing that I don’t really see people talking about is how clunky and slow it is for almost every action. Almost every action in the game is behind 4 dialogue boxes, a few emotes, and sometimes a cutscene. It’s really frustrating when it takes you 10 minutes to craft fish bait or 5 to move a building.
thats true, but when you talked about emotes i thought you were talking about the actual emotes you can do, that's also slow! In new leaf you could touch the icon and find any emote in like a second or 2, but now it favors 8 emotes and if you dare want to do an emote that's not in your 8 favorites then you gotta open your favorite wheel, open the "all emotes" menu, find the emote my moving case by case, THEN you can emote it,and it takes likes 10 seconds, which makes reacting in online very awkward when sometimes you'll react about 10 seconds late to something from the other player
@@starlite5154 with so many buttons on the switch, not all of them are even used in the game.. and you cant even keybind them so like you're basically left with L/R unused when they could keybind it to another menu shortcut
I actually like that the game is not rushing. I think it fits the vibe to take a step back, enjoy the moment and not try to do everything uber fast
I feel like back then (I started with wild world) there was also a progress in how nice villagers were to you based on your friendship level. It felt like you could really bond with them and they revealed more of their personality with time, rather than in every sentence like in new horizons. There were visits and flea markets and hide and seek (or was that in new leaf? It's been too long) and I miss the interactions and characters we had back then. Also, weren't villagers sometimes rude or insulted you? This always friendly clean slate of a character who always repeats everything is frustrating and it feels like a chore to talk to them in nh.
Also the updates. It may be nice new content for someone who never played animal crossing before but really: everything they released so far (and even more!) should have been in the base game.
I miss being insulted by Phyllis 🤣
Honestly, NH is my first game and the fact that they decided to give more design slots after a while..... I agree with you.. And even then, they're not enough (for me at least)
"If we explain the faults to Nintendo, they'll listen and improve"
Paper Mario Fans: If only...
They basically said "We see you, we hear you, and we have no respect for you"
They did listen by putting the HUD removal on the camera as a feature.
@@gizmothedoge5803 They did listen with Animal Crossing ngl, not with Paper Mario, that's the joke
*Like that will ever happen*
Also long-time, adult Pokemon fans: If only...
i remember when i started in city folk, i hated my snooty villagers, and i HATED mr resseti. god i miss those days. now the snootys just compliment me and talk about shoes.
You don't like shoes?
@@Daniel328DT wrongest possible takeaway
I started with New Horizons then used my graduation money to buy New Leaf and Wild World and man, what a difference. I have five of my villagers' photos in Wild World now and Angus and Rasher are probably my two favorites in town. But the villagers I have there feel so different than New Horizons and it's kind of sad. I loved Hornsby when I met him in New Horizons, but after learning that he's basically the exact same as Zucker or Beau on my friends' islands makes me sad. It makes him feel less special to me. Angus and Rasher feel worlds apart from Rolf, my cranky NH villager. I have 3 normal villagers in NH and they're amazing, but it gets tiring. I usually stick to just talking to one of them which is usually Coco. Kid Cat and Lyman on my island feel so hollow compared to Boone in my New Leaf town or Jay and Kody in my Wild World village. And Lucky in Wild World feels vastly different from Hornsby. I talk to my villagers a lot less now, using my imagination to make up for the lack of character (something I'm used to doing with stuff.) I like each game for a different reason and for what each one does uniquely, but the lack of villager dialogue in NH and the personalities being boiled down to being so dull is really disappointing. I used to talk with my villagers so much when I first got the game, but now I'd rather talk to my villagers in Wild World and New Leaf than my New Horizons ones. I have recorded me playing each game to show one of my friends, I like sharing the experience with her, and she told me she sees the difference too despite having only play New Horizons.
I really hope that they try to improve this or fix this at some point. It can make the game difficult to play once you get far enough into it and it's really disappointing to see.
NOT TO MENTION that if you god forbid try to talk to them more than once in 24 hours they act like you are some kind of mega stalker and not like you literally only live with a few people on a deserted island.... like, let me talk to you :(
I absolutely love this video. This is a perfect examination of why New Horizons just doesn’t click with me. That definition of the game being a “crafting and customization sim” rather than a “life sim” is perfect, and it stinks for me, because I don’t care about crafting and customization. It’s fine, but it’s not special at all to me. New Horizons quickly ended up becoming my least favorite of the main series, because it doesn’t fulfill that definition of why the series was made. Huge bummer for me. Great video though dawg
You took the words out of my mouth. I can’t be bothered designing my island because what’s the point? It’s called Animal Crossing. I want to maintain an island for the sake of the villagers and they ask nothing of me. Hide and seek, time capsules, visiting my place, that bug/fish in my pocket, flavourful dialogue and I get none of it.
I wouldn’t have been so burnt out with Animal Crossing if the villagers had personality.
I mean, I like making my house look nice and such with actually good furniture sets (in other words, the new leaf and earlier stuff. I liked the mushroom and ice sets prior to new horizons and miss how they looked back then) but we need the communication as well.
Also, I feel like majority of games are just trying to copy Minecraft at this point for the whole crafting thing and such. Idk, if I wanted to craft like a hundred items just to decorate my house, I'd play minecraft with mods on.
We need more personalities and more dialogue and make each character unique and special. Make some backstories. Not needed but I kinda want new villagers.
I miss the way the old neighbors were
It's saddening to say, watch a video of a specific villager's evolution, and just see their personality being watered down until their just, a jock, an old man, or being defined by eating, sleeping, and just being lazy. You could never mistake their dialogue for another personality nowadays
I kinda wanna get bullied by them 😅
@@mirandanneee I want all of my villagers to steal my stuff and just paint my roof whenever they want
hol horse yes.
I have this exact problem
I started with new leaf and my favorite villager became Kabuki. He was in my original New Leaf town and I fell in love with him. I thought he was so cool!! I spent so much time gifting him things and I just love everything about him.
So imagine the heart break when I get on one day after a break from new leaf only to find a letter in my mailbox saying he moved away. I was so upset. I ended up saving the farewell letter and carrying it in my mail inventory at all times (still have it too)
Fast forward to my New horizons town. I end up trading for Kabuki because I just had to have him. I was ecstatic when the individual trading him agreed to my offer. He was the only reason I ever time traveled in NH and the only reason I ever will.
But now, he has the exact same dialogue as Octavian :( i feel stripped of everything I enjoyed about Kabuki in NL. I still love him and will keep him for sure but I wish I didn't talk to Octavian, walk over my bridge, talk to Kabuki, and get the exact same dialogue constantly
Sorry this is long i just wanted to share my personal experience with the lazy villager writing
Kabuki was one of my starting in new leaf as well and he wasn't my fav but I loved him, but he moved as well:( I will try to get him in NH but... It's not the same.
That's why I still play new leaf again! The conversations are way better
i think kabuki and octavian are cranky not lazy
It’s true. I wanted Judy so bad because she was so cute, but her personality type makes her super boring and unlikeable 😞
I wish they would add updates for the people who still play old games and have like at least a dlc for the new villagers so they don't act like robots
I feel like there should be a option to make the villagers mean
I mean, there a lot of Villagers with a cranky personality. They all have their own personality. You can annoy them with your net and then they will be mean (but just for a short time).
@@mojio7232 they needs to be more mean
Erick Castillo I hate how you can push them and hit them with nets and they will still be nice to you like nothing happened
@@Twat_Dirt yeah like get mad at me not act like a robot
It would look something like this,
>Peachy
>Normal
>Mean
>NIGHMARE
To be honest I would probably go mean or nightmare.
I gotta say, I completely agree. When I got new leaf I loved just talking with my villagers and I had grown to love my one villager, Kyle, and I got lucky enough to get him on my new horizons island and I felt a little heartbroken because when he moved on he said the exact same thing Marshal had said when he moved on and it just wasn't the same. I had always gotten happy walking up to Kyle in new leaf and he would say "seems like we need a little more dancing right now" (or something along those lines lol) and now he talks about how he wants to be famous, just like Marshal and it kinda makes him feel as special as he did when I first built my relationship
nintendo really fucked up big time imo
I have a similar story with Keaton. He'd send me letters and we'd talk every day in my acnl town. And if I missed a day? He'd ask where I was and that he missed me. He was ALWAYS popping over when I was in my house, it was so sweet.
I got his amiibo, so I was ecstatic to add him to my acnh island. But then he arrived after Marshal. Their dialogue was either exactly the same or Keaton's was worse, because he had a lower friendship level. They also ruined his house - he used to live in a beach house and now he lives in a parking lot! A parking lot! If you look at acnh guides, you'll see the lack of furniture in the starting game really impacted how repetitive and ugly a lot of the villager houses are now.
I love acnh, I do, and have definitely gotten my money's worth, I am just sad I'm going to have to crack open the old games to get the villager friendship that made me love the series.
I had Kyle too!!
@@NikoleBensing1693 I think that's just an ongoing issue with AC, of the devs not always establishing consistent characters for the villagers, rather than a specific issue with NH. In previous games, a villager's personality has been outright changed. There's no reason Keaton couldn't have a beach house in NH, other animals have that kind of look. I had Marshal in NL and he's not the same as in NH either, but there's no reason his house had to be so stylish in NH when in NL his Sloppy set gave the air of a just-about-held-together-disaster, he could've had some of the cardboard box furniture. Personality-wise, Smugs seems to have become more actually smug, while Lazies got some of the goofball and mild flirtiness that Smugs had in NL. I don't think it's purely NH, because the Lazy line where they say they were thinking about your face, with the heart emote, and then that oops, they didn't mean to say that aloud, I'd have found adorable and fitting from Marshal in NL, and I do find it adorable when Cranston says it in NH, it's not a worse line. It's just AC just isn't very consistent.
well said! i completely agree with every point you made. ive found myself not talking to my villagers for days, when in previous games i formed genuine bonds with them
same
"a majority started with newleaf or new horizons, maybe even some cityfolk."
me over here playing wild world
There’s too many villagers they focused on quantity over quality
I'd agree with you but there's less villagers in ACNH than their are in previous games.
@@SethAurelius94 um new horizons has the most villagers
I agree with everything you’ve said! Maybe they could make it so that villagers have hobbies. Like Lazy Villager A likes fishing and Lazy Villager B would like bug catching. Maybe some Villagers could be rude and ran over your flowers and some villagers be best friends with each other. There is so much potential in this game and i hope they could work on the villagers first before giving us the other features. Because it makes the game boring when Raymond and Marshal talk about the same things all the time. Like what even is the point of having 10 villagers when there is only 8 different personality types and sets of dialogue.
I remember being 9 years old and so freaking excited when Population Growing came out. Does anyone else remember those absolutely nightmare inducing commercials where real people wore like felt suit costumes of the humans in game? Hahah I could play for HOURS just talking to the villagers, running their little errands for them while they hardly ever repeated the same dialogue.
I also absolutely love all the new changes in NH but really miss the villager personalities too. I also miss when they would mail you back a letter with a gift if you sent them one, the old friendship building systems from WW, and the hide n seek games/villagers asking to come to your house/scavenger hunt type things that made the game feel all the more immersive. I can see Nintendo listening to everyone and adding a dialogue update in the near future.
It feels like they rushed to get this game out bc of covid and released an unfinished game, and they're slowly adding the rest of the game.
Yeah, I can see that. I do have one idea to make the characters somewhat more unique. Remember how in WW villagers talk about their hobbies. Nintendo can do that but for New Horizons. New Horizons has hobbies of its own, but villagers don't appear to talk about them. I believe it'd be good to make villagers a bit more diverse. I do see the problem with that bit, though. And that is a majority of lazy villagers like to play, a majority of normal villagers like to educate themselves, and a majority of jock villagers talking about their fitness hobby. Some villagers will have the exact same personality and hobby from each other, thus making them less unique. I do believe they can bring back othet hobbies, too. Like eating, fishing, bug-catching, gardening, etc. If some villagers were granted those hobbies (if they ever make it back in NH), it would make the villagers a little more unique too. Either way, I hope Nintendo finds a way around that so we get back the old feelings from the first games.
Tl;dr: Basically I'm saying if we add new hobbies and correlate them with the personalities, it can make villagers somewhat more unique.
I miss those commercials.
imo, TheBigOReview, Saltfactory, and Sulky,Games address the "animal crossing problem" so perfectly
I started playing Animal Crossing when I got Wild World, I liked checking on my villagers in that game but there's not much point in ACNH and I have noticed dialogue repeating. Wild World is still a great game (apart from connecting to the Internet to get Nookingtons and Resetti being too harsh) and I'd love to bring back some of the conversations that we used to have in the older games.
i totally agree and the worst part is that there are more slots for villagers on your island than villager types so you have at least two pairs of villagers that are identical in dialogue.
“Just listen to the creator himself.....”
“PEPES CHICKEN NOW HAS HOME DELIVERY”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was watching this yesterday I think and I think I got an ad that said "Election day is on November 3rd! "
I thought about this so much, pls can someone inform them that we all want more individual, entertaining villager talks? That’s the charm of Animal Crossing, the other stuff builds on this.
so, to summarize, the problem is that the villagers have been simplified and less diverse, resulting in them coming of as more shallow and generic. this in turn make the game feel less personal and immersive.
Honestly? I don’t get the hype around “collecting” certain villagers. Of course, I have villagers I want, but the community shaming having different villagers? (I’ve seen it before) I don’t personally see what the “A Tier” Villagers have that others don’t except that technically they COULD be harder to get. Even though I have “A Tier” villagers (Raymond and Merengue) I got them because I thought they looked really nice and I loved talking to them. I honestly talk to all my villagers every day because they’re fun for me to talk to. It’s definitely a little flawed with the conversation, but do I enjoy talking to them. Yeah, I do. Do I get the hype about “A-Tier” villagers? Absolutely not
I agree with you, I only have villagers that I like or want to see if I like them. I do have some of the “popular” ones but that’s because I either started with them or I’ve become really attached to them overtime. I don’t really get the whole thing of people putting them into a tier list.
didn’t even know that was a thing. i think it’s cuz some villagers are rare.
My most favourite villager is so unpopular, that he doesn't even have fan art. Literally nothing when you search for him. And I love him because he always gave me such energy and optimism everytime I talked to him
I never cared about tier lists. I've heard of loving your neighbours before but Animal Crossing: New Horizons is not like that. It's crazy how you see a villager like Barold and the first thing someone might say is "ew" when they look at him because of his appearence. I know that it's just a video game and people can treat anybody they way they want but I don't feel like judging someone on the outside and say "stay outta my life" brings anything good in a person.
I agree and I am one of those people who don’t care about the look
I have barold at first I hated him but as I spoke to him I started to like him I don’t care weather a villilager is ugly or cute
One day I was trying to get Bonbon in my island and after I got her I realized that she says the same thing as tangy and Audie and then I just got sick of hearing what all of my Peppy villagers said because they always said the same thing and eventually I just stopped talking to all of my villagers
You know, I thought I was the only one who felt this way. There is an animal crossing game for phones called animal crossing pocket camp and the same thing happened so I was sad to find it on new horizons also :(
Broccolo was my favorite when I was little. Everyone dislikes him now cuz he's not "cute" :/
I had him in New Horizons and he's adorable. I miss him.
wtf broccolo is literally adorable
If I had Broccolo on my island I'd try to be nice to him so he could be nice to me.
I feel like back in the older games the more you talked to a villager more of a connection you’d get with them, but in NH the more you talk to them the more fake and robotic they seem
I’d be cool if there were some species specific dialogue too. Like if the female Kangaroos actually talked about their Roos and just being a parent in general - so they feel more like they have a young kid and less like they’re carrying a weird copycat doll (Maybe Astrid could talk about how her kid loves to pretend and he going to be a great mime when he grows up).
It hurts me when I go on tik tok and all the girls are complaining about their ugly villagers...I had a strong connection with a so called ugly villager when I first played animal crossing. He was Gruff. He was so fun to talk to though he was a cranky villager. But there is a lot more to him that meets the eye. I wish most of the girls that play animal crossing new horizons will stop judging a book by its cover...
Ive seen quite a lot of people on there getting the "ugly villagers" just to complain about how much people hated them
Swisin Wisin tsk tsk tsk attention seekers
It's a really disturbing side to the current fandom, and it makes me avoid so many videos or interacting with strangers in the game community. (Luckily, I have real life friends and family playing, since the economy isn't fun for single player play imo.)
I had some issues with seeing people behaving like that in New Leaf, but it's gotten 1000× worse.
In ACNL I had Rocket move into my town, and I just adored her and enjoyed the different conversations I had with her. Then I found out how awful the fandom was about gorilla villagers. It was heartbreaking to see all the nasty comments or hear them talking about how they loved to bully ugly characters. So I created a second town on a used copy of the game to create a gorilla sanctuary.
I'll give any villager a chance in my towns, and I've discovered that I love many of the so-called "ugly" ones best of all. They seem to have such lively and endearing animations and facial expressions. Rasher, Moose, and Cesar are some of my favorite villagers ever now. They just warm my heart. I would love to have Hazel in my town too. My friend has her, and she's great.
My conclusion is that there are no ugly villagers, but there is a sad amount of ugly hearted players.
FenrirInFlowers you are a good man and I respect you 👍🏼
zσmσk вєαn *P R E A C H!*
I agree a lot, when I first played Animal crossing new horizons and found out there was no requests from villagers ,and no invitations to there houses, I was disappointed and bummed out.
I just wish Kapp’n was in this game, he was one of my favourite characters
I play New leaf every day and i love to listen to him sing on the way to Tortiner Island.
This aged well.
To this day the Villagers are STILL saying the same things despite all the updates we've been getting.
Ikr? When I got a new dialogue I got so excited that they secretly updated speech. But I was wrong. It was just convince
Honestly thought this was another video picking at the “efficiency” of AC but then you said villagers are the problem and I was like YESSSSS. I started on New Leaf and played bits of Population and City Folk and the contrast is striking. I used to talk everyday to my fav villager Prince in NL and I tried to do the same in NH but honestly I barely speak to anyone in NH anymore. I have Prince and I think he’s adorable but he’s really just a cardboard cut out of his former self. BRING OUR BOYS BACK.
I think the dialogue really needs work and that says something since I haven’t been very active with the animal crossing game until new horizons so I’m not very familiar with the dialogue in the game. The personality’s really need work as if you have 2 of the same personality villagers on your island, they can say the exact same thing! Nintendo please fix this!!!!
as a person who's first game is new horizons even i can tell that the villagers are bland. it feels like they're all carbon copies of one another with one key thing they focus on to make their personalities "different." (ex. lazy = me like bug, cranky = me old, snooty = me fancy)
Same here! I'm new to the series and even I noticed how repetitive the dialogue is in this game.
I totally agree. The conversations, which are ‚missing‘ in new horizons, are the most important point, that should be changed.
But I have to admit, that I‘m very disappointed about the music there, too. Especially the music at night in previous games were so... beautiful.
Nostalgic, melancholic, almost sad. In new horizons its getting annoying ....
Yes ! you're the first person i've seen mention the music...I mean don't get me wrong its great and all, but the older games had much better music IMO, especially at night!
@@spidurmano the music in new horizons just feels very safe & pretty, the older osts werent afraid to sound sad or even spooky at night, but theres none of that now :( its nice but it has little personality to it. its like seeing a pretty minimalistic room on instagram, ur like, well thats nice but pretty boring lol
Yes!I miss the music from ACGC. I find some of the music in ACNH annoying also. I try to tune it out. And the night music was the best. The closest I've found is the KK song 'Forest Life'. I have it playing on the juke box outside of residential services and have found my villagers singing it, even when they aren't near the juke box.
@@katana1194 The same with me with "Animal City". It's the tune from the city in city folk (abviously, lol), which is btw named let's go to the city where I live.
The *second* biggest problem with animal crossing is the island representatives. When you are the secondary player on the switch, there are limitations of what you can do, like for example, you cannot build bridges or inclines, you can’t help build a shop, you cannot demolish some thing, etc. But the first player on the switch is different. The first player has no limitations in the game. They can almost do anything which isn’t fair to the secondary player. I am the second player on the Nintendo Switch that my sister owns and I have to hop onto my sister’s account to build bridges, help build shops, etc (my sister doesn’t play New Horizons that often.) All I want is Nintendo to fix this issue which has made me go bonkers! I also want island representative in my account as well so I can help build different shops, build bridges, move certain buildings, etc. Not just collect bugs, catch fish, pick up fruit, collect Nookmiles, etc. So if Nintendo comes across this video, looks in the comments and finds this then *probably* they’ll fix this problem! Also I can’t get another switch because my sister says no.
why not just get another new horizons game instead of a new switch 😂
Wolfz Music My sister can’t do that either since she just wasted $299.99 dollars on a switch. She won’t let me either so we just have to share one switch and not another game. Soo yeah.
Rosy Crossing1094 wdym wasted? switches are good & cant your family get you the game? or cant you use christmas/bday money
Wolfz Music You can’t get another game, you need another Switch if you want to play on a new island. The data is saved per Switch, not per game cartridge.
Violet WOOP that’s stupid.
this is SO TRUE!!! I have felt this emptiness the whole time, and I used to love it when my favorite villagers barged into my house, and my favorite was a snooty because the personality wasn’t shoved in my face, they were there but what shone through more was their individuality. Thank you so much for making this and I think you really hit the nail on the head :)
People: * talking about dialog*
Me: *thinking about breakable tools * haha... yeah..
I thought of the same thing and also not having Tortimer's Island.
At the very least I wish they’d bring back a feature from Wild World where tools would start to crack as you use them. I hate it when my axe breaks unexpectedly. And what’s the point of having golden tools of they’re still going to break?
@@Starfire861 I dont't mind it at all. Also i have a pretty good feeling for when it is about to break. Then i customize it.
The ony issue i have is that i have to choose a different color! :(
The two characters I miss the most are Phineas and Wendell
Wendell was so cute but I wish they went more indepth in his lore
I miss Bam. Hes a blue deer
@@XDeathwingSilenceX hes still in the game?
Me: See’s the name Phineas
Also me: What about Ferb
@@XDeathwingSilenceX I have him on my island, he's still in the game
One of my new favorites is Graham, my friend didn’t like him and after he left her village he ended up coming to my village, while she hates Graham because of the little black eyes and his blue glasses I think he’s pretty cute and interesting because of the bubblegum posters he has hidden near the roof. But I will agree it seems like there’s no interactions or new dialogue options it’s all the same. You can’t do any activists really with your villagers. It feels like a fashion contest all most where everyone wants the cutest stuffed animal they feel like little place holders with no personality’s. That’s actually the same reason why I stoped playing poker camp a month after I downloaded it because the game felt empty ever “villager” asked had me going on the same fetch quest to get them a seashell if it was seashell week. There was no interesting dialogue, no reluctance from a grumpy villager nothing not even any favorite things or dislikes where the villagers will refuse a gift if they hate sweaters.
how about when villagers would be mean to you, i think those interactions make it more realistic, because if you talk to a person too much, at some point they'll be pissed, and that makes villagers seem more like actual people
I think Pecan was my favorite for this. She was always pissed off and snobby, and I loved running into her and making her MORE pissed off! The squirrels were the best back in Wild World! :)
My first game is ACNH and even this upsets me I find myself outright avoiding my villager because of how empty they are like I had Sprocket as one of my first villagers and really wanted to make a bond but then he just started sending letters of his abs over and over again which explains the issue and it got to the point where I didn't like him because of how boring he was so I never spoke to him again and let him go....this shouldn't be a thing at all even as a newcomer I can notice this and that it's bad and I also hope other ACNH newcomers know this also because being blinded by these things just makes the game a husk of what you might expect.
I think the most interesting and intriguing conversations I heard in the game than my villagers' are Mabel's and Sable's conversations at the store.
And even then is just a repeat of the Wild World and City Folk stories, they just blend both together to make it sound like "we have problems years ago but now not". I don't know you but I like to see more stuff than the one we already know.
Or when you see them talking to each other.
Hey everyone! I'm so happy to see you guys reacting to my video. However, I do see one common complaint and I want to address it. I know the beginning is long as I am discussing why I made this video, criticism within gaming communities, and the Animal Crossing Community itself. I am sorry this is a long intro and I will work on this for future videos.If you would like to skip this and get straight o the point of the video, I believe that skipping to 4:55
I hope this helps anyone who just wants to get to the "Problem" with Animal Crossing New Horizons. Also another thing I have heard and will be changing is the blurry screens. I do that as filler for the most part. However, I have seen that it has been hurting peoples eyes and making them dizzy so I will be removing it for future videos. Thank you all so much for watching, liking, and commenting!
Thx

since i have a lot of friends that visit me and have my sister in my island, all my villagers do is talk about them. and it is so annoying. i liked in other games that you could have more dialogue with them. but in NH u only get like one line from them:(
Why doesn’t this have more views!! This makes me so sad that this is actually so true..
Nintendo needs to up their game :(
To me there’s another one, the music. I thought it has lost of charm because of it, too grovy
YES THIS TOO
The music is a big reason new horizons lost the soul of the older animal crossing games.
I love the music in NH, very chilling and tropical, which fits with the island theme, I absolutely hated the music in NL, it tried too many genres and was lousy in my opinion, back then I was very disappointed with the change from City Folk, but then again I'm also a person who finds Judy absolutely hideous so I think they're just unpopular opinions
@@ihavea1tbshotahentaifolder431 I agree with that to a degree. I guess it matches the whole tropical island theme but it's all too similar and not really the same chill, sparse instrumentals we used to have.
On another note I hate that stupid synthesizer that's the lead of every single song. Every song feels like it uses the same 4 instruments and the main motif for new horizons pops up waaaay too often. It's too repetitive and too loud and just doesn't feel like Animal Crossing.
Also, back off the NL soundtrack, 5 PM is God tier.
Christian Vazquez, I always liked Population Growing's soundtrack the most. I guess I'm just not really into the more atmospheric tracks in the later games.
Have you guys heard the nook shop music at 9 o'clock just before they close? It's my favorite music in the game.
100% agree, the reason why the game was made was really lost in new horizons. Still love it though.
I started in New Horizons and automatically noticed this because I wanted the focus to be on community and building relationships with your villagers.
THIS! You have said it perfectly. This is legit my biggest gripe. I do love that the villagers can't move away without permission, since I hated that my fave in the original moved away when I was gone for a winter break. That said I want my villagers to be "people" to remember what we discussed like in past games, not to be part of my island's aesthetic and nothing more.
In my opinion, I think this whole "DIY" mechanic feels like an afterthought. I mean I'd rather cough up 2500 bells for a slingshot than go on a wild goose chase for a slab of wood. I mean c'mon this is a LIFE simulator, not a survival game like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild!
Yeah, it's like someone was playing the game Lost in Blue (where you are on a deserted island and have to craft stuff to survive) and thought oh let's add crafting to this game. I always buy my tools now too.
@Abi_Lou Okay, I respect your opinion
To the one person who disliked: I know we all have our own opinions but really i bet you didn’t even watch the video to it was probably one of you suggested.
I disliked because it made me cry
It could be a bot too like 4 dislikes
Sweetpea that’s true I ain’t because people don’t like it u just get dislikes
Not everyone agrees man, don’t get mad at them for not liking an opinion
Good Day no I did not mean it to come out like that and it’s impossible to stop them and I did say we all have our own opinions but at the time it was only one so at the of the day there’s always going to be dislikes and I’m not mad so don’t worry.😉
