Funny thing about Happy Home Designer, it actually DID get expanded on in New Leaf, the welcome Amiibo update was HUGE and it brought the customization system from HHD to New Leaf
at first i thought you were one of those annoying people that think that any gameplay slightly deviating from the main genre is "bAsIcALLy JuSt A diFFeReNt gAmE" but no wow that is literally what they said in the video wow 😂
@@ivorreal i think someone is annoying when they say something that is wrong or ignorant or actively stops games from improving due to the need of staying in a box of a certain genre
I think new horizons is the best in its customization, mechanics, and general aesthetics. But it really bombs the villagers. I shouldn’t have to think about having too many “lazy” villagers because they will all say the same things when im picking the ones i want.. you lost the connection to them as soon as you meet another new villager of the same personality type, or find yourself wanting to “trade” for cuter ones.
Im playing through PG and my gf is playing through NH. There’s some things NH does that PG doesn’t but it felt like villagers were another gameplay aspect like fishing in PG in NH they’re like set dressing.
11:30 Jerry Atricks: So, you got upset over a game from a franchise you don’t even care about. Scott the Woz: That’s right. Jerry:……WHO! THE FUCK! IS THIS GUY!?
I just started the gamecube version for the first time because of your videos, I've never played AC but I'm having fun so far. Also I appreciate the included subtitles.
@@CodyMKW Also as someone who has played every single Animal Crossing, I beg to differ. Listen, New Horizons is a great game, don't get me wrong, but all "omg you can place a couch on grass!!!!" aside it's a blatant downgrade from New Leaf. Customizing your island is only so fun for so long until you're done.
Admittedly, losing the NES Cartridges was a bummer. Nintendo started realizing wait, people love our old games still, we can pay wall the Hell out of them. Smash Bros Brawl just had demos of games, which already showed they were being stingy with bonus content. It's a far cry from Zero Mission having Metroid 1 included and the aforementioned cartridges.
Honestly no, these reviews se pretty standard. City folk was basically a port of Wild World, (more of an expansion), but it didn't so much for the series itself. New Leaf game it an excellent shift and I'd rate it above even New Horizons, which Honestly has less content (even post updates). HHD is kind of an experiment for New Horizons, being able to customise the outside, slide through small gaps, anything. Like the only thing that you can do in NH that you couldn't in NL is Customising your island's layout, and placing furniture. They made villagers more dull, and made them ask less from you. I have yet to have a villager say something like "hey can I buy that off of you". I do agree that villagers now just feel like props Something else they removed was Nintendo Amiibo characters, and Nintendo items in general. The Amiibo Characters is an unfortunate loss, but that's fine I suppose. The removal of Nintendo items is Honestly just shocking. Something they could've done was to put them into those balloon presents or something, but no, all you can do is buy classic Mario stuff and nothing else at all. But yeah, I think that New Leaf is the better experience overall
just comin in to say my villagers ask to buy my junk all the time lol I'm redecorating and goldie begs to purchase the vital decor piece i just pulled out of the storage shed... or they want to buy the trash I'm taking to nook's cranny, awful clothes included haha. no sherb, you are definitely not getting my tee with bib that just fell out of the sky, no matter how many bells you offer.
@@qtfoxe lucky lmao Wish my villagers would come asl for random stuff I pick up or just have in my inventory. Oke good change that NH has is that Villagers will randomly come to your house without having to ask you in the village (Don't think that was in NL at least)
I also don't think that the Scorings were so weird, but what I think is that this Dude was probably triggered cause New Horizons wasn't on the top of the Scorings. By the way in my opinion it would be below the rest of the of the other Animal Crossing games, which shows, that there are more opinions than just one in this world.
I completely agree, I would add that the way they implemented the customisation took away a bit of the charm of the game. We lost a lot of the new leaf very special art style to have more blocky standardised world, these got rid of the texte bubbles, the menus have no personality, it just lost a lot of the charm. And the town itself is somewhat worse than even the one from wild world. There are only 3 buildings, none of them particularity complete, interesting or engaging. New horizon just feels like "cute Minecraft" where all the role play elements that made the spine of the series are gone.
@Rivers Grace Well the fact it's a sandbox does mean the world has to be a bit more blocky, but for the rest I don't think it's justify by the sand boxe nature of the game. In fact, a sandbox game should allow me to have more than 3 public buildings in my town and be able to customise them to make it the way I want. And the charm of the game shouldn't take a hit as well. Trust me, I liked the sand boxe aspect of this game and it certainly helped to draw people to the franchise, I just think that the serie has sacrificed a bit too much of its DNA. I hope the next animal crossing game will keep and expand on the sand boxe aspect without impacting my immersion and the charm of the game. And the fact that it takes days to do anything really creative in the game, days during which there wasn't anything else to do beside filling the museum and growing money because the NPCs in this game are useless and there is almost no interesting activity on the island like their was in the last games really didn't help me. In new leaf and wild world, I would talk to every villager and someone is gonna give me an interesting quest, I would go on tortimer island, in every building of main street, talk to the special villager on plaza, that would give me quests, see the town get bigger and the shop gradually upgrading ... I think this could have easily be implemented in NH without making the game less of a sandbox.
ngl i feel like new horizons coming after new leaf is justified. i wish it had actually been a full game, with more content than new leaf. sadly it is not, even though they had so much time to develop it.
Tbf there's only so much you can do with it without changing the entire concept of the game. Do wish there was more stuff to do in multi-player though.
I kinda get why NL is better than NH Its because of the updates (in my opinion) NL was already finished and got a 2.0 update who added so many thing too NH got so many updates but it was updates that a lot of AC games had like bunny day,Halloween or Christmass the game wasnt complete when he released
Finally I don’t dislike NH but all the other games were way better. It’s probably because the NH changed so much like no post office (or town hall) but population growing and Wild World just hit me and I still have my DS playing Wild World and I still have my GameCube playing Population Growing.
I think they only included the holidays in NH as updates because they didn't want people to spoil everything, especially for new players to the franchise and because some things worked slightly differently (like Toy Day and Halloween) from previous games. They intended for things to be left to as much surprise as they could manage. That, and they were following the trend that a lot of games seem to be doing these days which is constant updates for new features and whatnot - but they already had a plan as to how long they would do them which is why we got nothing else after awhile. That, and they had to leave out some features to implement the new ones and see how things went. Best case scenario is that the next main game takes the best parts of NH and the best parts of NL and manages to slot them together nicely
They gave Battlefield 2042 a higher score than Kirby Triple deluxe one of my personal favourite games of all time. Just saying IGN doesn't have the best track record
Not only was IGN pretty hard when reviewing the Sonic games, but they were also pretty hard on "Freedom Planet", "Dust: An Elysian Tail", and "Super Lucky's Tale" for the same reason why they hated Sonic (and not because of the gameplay, BTW).
Honestly, no for once, I would argue IGN did a good job here. These are all pretty much where I would mostly place all of them as well. Maybe their REASONINGS for it are a bit meh, but the scores themselves I agree with. And btw I would rank 5 as a game you can find enjoyment in without major game-breaking glitches and the like, or you can get through and say “yeah that was a game. Which as bare-bones as amiibo festival was, I would say it fits that 5 rank exactly. It’s no more complicated than something like, idk, candy land or the game of life. It’s meant as a baby game that adults can at least half enjoy.
Sure, City Folk takes alot from Wild World, but I think that's a good thing, and I don't know how City Folk could be worse than Wild World. Remember, Wild Wold was a DS game. It had a low resolution screen and crunchy audio. The size of the town in Wild World was pretty small and all the players had to share a house. With all that in mind, it makes sense why they wouldn't change too much. It's great to have a Wild World experience on a big widescreen, with high quality music and visuals.
I liked where this video was going at first, pointing out stupid things like IGN basically implying there's nothing to do in AC without the NES games, but the latter half of this video seemed odd to me. Your whole point in the second half seems to be based on you believing New Horizons is the best Animal Crossing game and therefore deserves a higher score than other games, despite the context of those other games' reviews happening before New Horizons came out. You are arguing that IGN should go back and lower the scores of the other AC games to make NH look better? I think this is kind of a silly point. Everyone knows that the Gamecube game was reviewed in the context of the game as a standalone, not as a ranking for the game in the series, since the series wasn't a series back then. I'm not going to assume an NES game that was given a score of 10 back in the 80s would be objectively better than a modern game on the Switch given a 9. These reviews are meant to be read in the context of their time period. Saying that IGN needs to go back and lower the scores of older games to make them look worse than modern games makes no sense, since, again, these reviews must be viewed in a historical context. If they went back and changed AC's scores, they would literally have to go back every day and say "Is Bubble Bobble for the PS1 really worthy of a 6 out of 10 in modern standards??" Which is a lot of effort for no profit and it doesn't even make sense to do so. Also, New Horizons is definitely not the best AC game, imo, so it does deserve to be below some older games, but this is all based on opinion, so....
I know new horizons has MANY missing features from new leaf and I know why it was ranked that low. This was before the new updates so the ranking makes sense
Lol I’m gonna have to agree that New Leaf is top tier. New horizons won’t ever top it for me or my friends and I dropped it after the first few months during the pandemic. 🤣
city folk was definately the low point of the main line games, as it felt like a sidegrade from the game cube. If you had either wild world or the og animal crossing there was no reason to play city folk. A 7.5 is not a bad review, its a perfectly functional game but, that is all it was. Overall I think their reviews were mostly accurate as a free game/ cheaper game should be rated more leniantly.
It wasn’t it was peak much better then wild world. Back in the day I can Unterstand why you would think that but still I do love wild world and let’s go to the city but let’s go to the city was overall more enjoyable. To be fair it is not the fault of wild world but more of the ds the screen is just almost to small for me and the graphics are terrible. Wenn I started to play let’s go to the city I never wanted to go to back everything was better. To be fair it was 2014 and I was playing on a good tv with good speakers. But there are so many improvements in city folk that many don’t notice. You have to play both each for a long time to really appreciate city folk. Let’s go to the city= cityfolk (European name) That there was no reason to play it. I don’t think so for me it was GameCube and wild world animal crossing mixed together. And I still think expect new leaf it is the best animal crossing game if you don’t care about mobility. The city also was beautiful the music there is so great! In general the audio quality is better and finally no frame drops when it rains and 60fps which is for animal crossing extremely smooth. (New horizon runs on 30fps and wild world to) The dialog was worse but it wasn’t bad. The dialog from villager to villager is still great and mean. Conclusion: In my opinion new horizon is the low point because it did launched unfinished as fuck half of the content from new leaf was missing and cityfolk was nothing completely new but you have to think about it they only did have 3 years time, for new horizon it was 7 years. And it still did came unfinished. I do agree that city folk is the one that did the last new but I still think this doesn’t make it worse then wild world or GameCube animal crossing for me because of cityfolk I don’t have a reason to play wild world unless I want to revisit my old town
Some people in the world have very limited internet access and their exposure to the game is the cover, don't really care what the excuse for an unfinished game is, what're you 12?
For what it's worth, Amiibo Festival is the perfect drinking game 🍻 Also I think 9 is too high of a score for NH. It's a huge disappointment compared to NL, I expected a lot more from it and it couldn't even have half the features that NL had at launch- they had to add that in later. And then they pretended it was all new. It also focuses too much on customization and expects you to be happy with that 90% of the time. You can't even upgrade the shop more than once! I play AC to talk to villagers, and when the villagers spit out the same 5 phrases and tell me what I did the day before like I have dementia, I get really tired of playing. It deserves a much lower at-launch score, I can't believe they struggled to find things wrong with it because as someone who's played every single one I found a lot to complain about 😂
For once I agree with IGN, New horizon is a worst game than New Leaf, especially at launch. The only thing better in new leaf is the customisation, but at this point just go play Minecraft or other decoration games. The core of animal crossing is the atmosphere and role play elements and both are completely downgraded in New Horizon. The Villagers are completely lifeless, they offer nothing else than their designs, they have boring dialogues with no meaningful interaction. Shops are worse than even in Wild world, you no longer feel progress through main street growing, nor do you feel the charm from the special events and characters, everything is so standardised. The hourly soundtrack is painful and repetitive, that's one of the reason that made me stop playing alongside the complete lack of content compared to previous entry. I honestly think the game has less quality of life than new leaf, since everything is so centralised and locked behind punitive menus, with pointless overcomplicated and repetitive dialogues, and since the game want you to carry lots of ressources and build lots of stuff, doing it should have been more ergonomic. I'm not against customisation but the price we had to pay for it is honeslty way too high. For me the game is like a 7.5 when New leaf is an 8.5 and Wild word either a 7.5 or and 8 with the way I rank games.
I liked early IGN. I also enjoyed it when Greg Miller and Collin Moriarty worked there, it seemed to go downhill for me when a lot of staff members quit to found Kinds Funny.
Back in the day, Elwctronic Gaming Monthly would have multiple people review every game, with their scores averaged at the end. I wish IGN and other companies would do that, so you get multiple opinions and if one reviewer is kinda dumb you get others to bounce off them
The "too much water" thing for ORAS was hilarious given it was a remake of a game that had large expanses of water when there were soooo many valid criticisms for that remake that they didn't touch on at all.
Before this video and (even still, honestly, if I were quizzed) as far as the first few Animal Crossing games go, if you showed me a screenshot of each and told me to identify them, I couldn't. They all look kinda similar graphically, as someone who hasn't played any of the games.
Wow that’s an odd thing to say. The original looks like a late N64/early GameCube game, wild world looks like a ds game, City folk and wild world look similar yes, but it’s mostly because of how similar they are, New leaf looks like an early 3DS game, and finally New horizons is the HD one.
The customization makes new horizons super top tier and the only complaint i even have is that the dialogue feels more stale and less genuine, that’s such an easy fix tho and i agree that the ign ranking system is so flawed
Why do people talk about IGN like its this single person reviewing games? "How could IGN rate this game higher than this one?" because they have different people reviewing these games. Do you expect them to go through every other game reviewed on the site to make sure their score matches with every other game? Its a website with different people reviewing games, its really not that crazy.
I came across your channel yesterday and have watched several videos since. The audio in your videos slowly gets quieter from start to finish of each video.
I think it's dumb that you say that a spinoff should have a lower score than a main game. Pocketcamp has an 8 because it is really amazing for a mobile game. Hhd also has an 8 but it is a better game because it is a game on a console and it has higher standards.
IGN is painfully bad at pretty much anything they do now. I used to really trust the reviews back in the ps1 days. Ever since game website writers started calling themselves “journalists” it’s been a downhill ride. It’s kind of sad because they used to be a lot of fun to read. They never took things too seriously but we’re still informative. But that being said they are nowhere near the worst gaming site. That’s Kotaku.
Hey, I just wanted to point out a small error in the crediting of this video. I noticed at a few parts that Protendo is credited for video footage, but the footage playing is from Chuggaaconroy's New Leaf Let's Play. Other than that, it's a good video and I love the points you brought up! For me, City Folk is the weakest in the series, so I understand it being reviewed as lower than Wild World. City Folk didn't capture me as much as Wild World, New Leaf, New Horizons, or even GameCube Animal Crossing has. And keep in mind, I've only had a copy of GameCube crossing for about 4 years, while I started playing when Wild World was the most recent game. And I don't even have and NES games, I just enjoy it more than City Folk.
My tier list for AC games: S- New Horizons, New Leaf A- B- Pocket Camp C- D- F- Amiibo Festival Haven't played- Every other AC game (including Amiibo Festival)
I think some of the low scores are definitely attributed to it being a "girls" game. If there's one thing gamer bros do well, it's letting themselves be held back from enjoying things by misogyny
My take 1: New Leaf 9.7 Huge game packed with content. So much fun stuff too do everyday. Welcome Amiibo gave us stuff we didn’t even need, they added to content to a complete game and it was amazing 2. City Folk 9.0 far better than wild world, more limited online play but used Wii Speak. Adds more content by the city, so I’d always find myself playing longer since there was more content. The motion controls make my arms tired but are incredibly satisfying at times. 3. New Horizons 8.9 launched with little to no content, with time traveling you could play the whole game in a day on launch. Normal stuff that should have been there from the start like previous games were added in free content updates. It’s dumb we have to pay $60 for an unfinished game then wait for stuff that should have previously been there. We wouldn’t have to worry about keeping the game alive if all of that was they because there would be enough to keep us playing for several years like new leaf, people stopped playing for time periods simply because there wasn’t enough to do. Happy Home Paradise was like Welcome amiibo and it worked fine. 4. Happy Home Designer 8.5 Happy Home Designer introduced new ways to decorate you home, which actually made it worth being done. It offers loads of creative freedom which brings a lot to those who play just to decorate. And there’s so many villagers you’ll be playing for days. Not to mention how much cool stuff you get to add beyond the requirements. It’s just s spin-off so there isn’t loads to do, which is why it’s lower. It’s also very repetitive. It’s still s fun game. It would be nice if we could design our own house in HHD and invite friends to it via online play. 5. pocket camp. 8.0 it’s a mobile game so I didn’t have high expectations for it, only reason I played it was for my love of animal crossing. It’s free to play and it’s easily accessible. It’s very reseti it but is charming and decorating it is so fun with the Nintnedo console themed items you can get form fortune cookies. Only complaint is you have to use real money for leaf tickets which are very useful. 6. Wild World 7.8 Wild world isn’t bad, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not as good as it’s made out to be.. it’s a huge improvement from gamecube but there’s not enough, online is fun but you can’t even do that anymore. There’s only two shops, the upgrades to nooks shop aren’t very good, and we can’t do chores for villagers anymore. Chromes we’re dreadful I. Gamecube because of the camera, I would actually enjoy them with the way the camera works from wild world going on. Anyhow it’s just kinda boring and it removes holidays which city folk brings back. City folks is such and improvement and all wild world did was make the game more accessible. 7. Population Growing 7.5 So many issues, you pretty much can only store clothes and and only 3 at a time, the house payments are ridicules and you can only seek one thing at a time. You cna only donate one thing at a time and you can’t shake trees while holding a net or fishing Rod. You have to mail the fossils to get them assessed and the villagers are so rude. The camera works horribly and the music is dreadful. It’s an okay first game and it is very charming but that’s about all I can say good. 8. Animal Forest 7.4 Only one point lower. It’s just population growing but worse. That’s literally it. There’s so few differences and what there is isn’t mainly game changers. 9. Amiibo Festival. 2.9 It’s not as bad as people say. If you buy every animal crossing Amiibo figures and play through all of the events each season with at least 2 players you can have a good time it’s dumb that’s there are actually mini games but you have to buy them and they aren’t in the main mode but if you decorate your party board with villagers and public works projects and then unlock all mini games it’s pretty fun. I mens I wouldn’t pick to play it but if someone asked me to play one party I probably wouldn’t mind. That’s my take. There’s also a GBA mini game you can play on gamecube called Animal Island And a Miiverse type software on Wii U called Animal Crossing Plaza. Just thought I’d mention those.
its crazy how many people keep pointing out the unfinished or unrealistic villagers in acnh, im currently playing gamecube and the villagers with the same personality type also say the same exact things often, sure they are more rude but that doesn't make them more realistic and imo barely more interesting because there is no real way to interact with them outside of them monologuing to you, there is no way to really have them react to things you do around town. Which is why to me, the villagers are kind of secondary/a single part of the general ambiance and vibe of the game which is the real focus. Also, even in gamecube, the villagers are written like exagerated characters; they exist through their personality type and don't really deviate, they either praise you all the time, belittle you all the time, or say funny stuff, and imo the ones who shine are the ones who have funny writing. but all in all, having not really played animal crossing as a kid, i don't feel like i'm forming a connection with the villagers.. maybe thats just me though!
I always take reviews with a grain of salt not only can opinions differ so can experiences and thoughts So for example a reviewer says they had issues with online and the game shouldn't have been released In this state they could easily patch the issue and by the time you play the online Is perfect or maybe the reviewer Is looking at an old game compared to new games as to reviewing It historically
6:56 lousy City to walk in... I'd love to see how they reviewed COD or Fifa. Considering its more of the same. Now that doesn't make thoses game bad persay. Just repetitive. But there wasn't a city there before, now there is, and its bad because you can just go outside? Okk BRB imma go chop a tree and talk to random cats, dogs, owls, hippos and be mayor. If it was that bad, people wouldn't play simulation games like cycling ones.
New Horizons being ranked below New Leaf is fair actually. New Horizons had so little content at launch, and it still has less content than New Leaf after a year of updates.
I will say while new horizons is a good game I do think when it came out it was a lot less fun than now. I also think that logically it shouldn't be worse than GameCube and I could see an argument for it being better than new leaf. It all depends why you play the game. If you play for the character interactions and mini games then new leaf would be better, if you play because you like customizing and making your own little town in your own aesthetic then new horizons would be better. And of course if you want the characters to burn you so bad you need medical attention then GameCube is best lol
Actually I agree with the review, the game gets boring fast and the characters are sometimes annoying, If I wanted to build and live in a village I would play minecraft, Plus your only limited to building and upgrading your village in animal crossing while minecraft has that already and more, And minecraft is cheaper so ratio
new horizons was so easy to give up after a few short months or even weeks, came out incomplete, final update and it still feels incomplete its only good if your favorite part of animal crossing was making things look pretty, which is valid, but what happened to the personality that just oozes out of older characters? what happened to all the fruit? what happened to nook upgrades? what happened to having to actually interact with certain villagers for special features like sabel, new horizons feels so rushed and so incomplete, especially when someone has a very nice and full island and you get 20 frame running through it on original nintendo hardware.
I decided to make a list before watching this video and it perfectly lines up yes new horizons added a lot but in doing so lost a bit of the charm of the series I played animal crossing new leaf when new horizons came out and played hours every day for a month then got new horizons and played about 3 days before forgetting i had it
to be fair, people who play Animal Crossing to get immersed would enjoy New Leaf more than New Horizons because of the villagers having more personality and actually being able to do things on their own like move away. But if you just wanna play Animal Crossing for the ability to decorate and be a dictator who bans ugly people than New Horizons is perfect for you I guess. But hey, this is from someone who feels _much_ more comfortable on a 3DS than a Switch. Even if the circle pad on mine has seen better days.
So, never trust an ign review? Got it 😂 animal crossing is one of the best games out there idc what anyone says, also, I think if they had younger people like in their 20’s reviewing the games, they’d be more accurate. Shoot, I’ll do it 😂
Apart from amiibo festival I think all those reviews were spot on. New horizons was NOT a 10/10 game by any means and to say it is is just a lie. It's an amazing game that I put over 1000 hours into, but damn it had a ways to go.
One ironic thing about most negative reviews of New Horizons is that they said you can only have one save file per system, despite the fact it was also like this in Population: Growing and Let's Go to the City, I mean I do get that there's a multiple profiles system on the Nintendo Switch, as well the Wii U (I just included it because it has it without a mainline Animal Crossing) but like the most likely theory of why they did that is to not make the one system multiplayer complicated. Now the other negative reviews? Nyehhh... I mean I haven't played any of the older titles, but I think New Horizons has the best customization options since you can properly make the humanoid into a self insert rather than being able to take control of a humanoid that can behave like you, and the town no longer changing up that noticably like in the earlier titles after a hiatus is also something I like, since it's technically also healthier, because who is unaware of the consequences on repetitive playing? You know, I think I enjoy New Horizons due to how experimental it is compared to the older titles.
Having some precedent doesn't really mean it's a good feature. I'd say the whole "one save file per system" is a sacred cow they need to kill in the next version. It would be really nice to have multiple islands with different themes, or to allow different players of the same system to have their own saves with islands designed as they like.

Funny thing about Happy Home Designer, it actually DID get expanded on in New Leaf, the welcome Amiibo update was HUGE and it brought the customization system from HHD to New Leaf
“I can’t believe they got rid of the parts of animal crossing that were literally different games, it was the only reason I played it”
at first i thought you were one of those annoying people that think that any gameplay slightly deviating from the main genre is "bAsIcALLy JuSt A diFFeReNt gAmE" but no wow that is literally what they said in the video wow 😂

I like New Horizen, tho I do wish they didn't make the villagers so stale.
i hate how they are unfinished. Not even having functions that the first game had.
Kinda like a doll house but atleast they still yell at you for hitting them with a net
I think new horizons is the best in its customization, mechanics, and general aesthetics. But it really bombs the villagers. I shouldn’t have to think about having too many “lazy” villagers because they will all say the same things when im picking the ones i want.. you lost the connection to them as soon as you meet another new villager of the same personality type, or find yourself wanting to “trade” for cuter ones.
They probably did this so that they won't scare off children with pissed off and rude villagers
Im playing through PG and my gf is playing through NH. There’s some things NH does that PG doesn’t but it felt like villagers were another gameplay aspect like fishing in PG in NH they’re like set dressing.

I feel like they legitimately picked people with very specific nitpicks that no regular human would have
I just started the gamecube version for the first time because of your videos, I've never played AC but I'm having fun so far. Also I appreciate the included subtitles.
I think new horizons below new leaf is pretty justified
as someone who has played every single Animal Crossing ever made New Horizons is the absolute best one in the series
@@CodyMKW yeah, you can do way mutch
@@CodyMKW Also as someone who has played every single Animal Crossing, I beg to differ. Listen, New Horizons is a great game, don't get me wrong, but all "omg you can place a couch on grass!!!!" aside it's a blatant downgrade from New Leaf. Customizing your island is only so fun for so long until you're done.
There is 0 justification for having new horizons rated higher than most animal crossing games, let alone new leaf which is arguably the best one.
yeah even though new horizons has godly customization, it's just not on the same level as new leaf
Admittedly, losing the NES Cartridges was a bummer. Nintendo started realizing wait, people love our old games still, we can pay wall the Hell out of them. Smash Bros Brawl just had demos of games, which already showed they were being stingy with bonus content. It's a far cry from Zero Mission having Metroid 1 included and the aforementioned cartridges.
They were reviewed by different people, their biases are going to have an affect on the scores.
Honestly no, these reviews se pretty standard. City folk was basically a port of Wild World, (more of an expansion), but it didn't so much for the series itself. New Leaf game it an excellent shift and I'd rate it above even New Horizons, which Honestly has less content (even post updates). HHD is kind of an experiment for New Horizons, being able to customise the outside, slide through small gaps, anything.
Like the only thing that you can do in NH that you couldn't in NL is Customising your island's layout, and placing furniture. They made villagers more dull, and made them ask less from you. I have yet to have a villager say something like "hey can I buy that off of you". I do agree that villagers now just feel like props
Something else they removed was Nintendo Amiibo characters, and Nintendo items in general. The Amiibo Characters is an unfortunate loss, but that's fine I suppose. The removal of Nintendo items is Honestly just shocking. Something they could've done was to put them into those balloon presents or something, but no, all you can do is buy classic Mario stuff and nothing else at all. But yeah, I think that New Leaf is the better experience overall
just comin in to say my villagers ask to buy my junk all the time lol
I'm redecorating and goldie begs to purchase the vital decor piece i just pulled out of the storage shed... or they want to buy the trash I'm taking to nook's cranny, awful clothes included haha. no sherb, you are definitely not getting my tee with bib that just fell out of the sky, no matter how many bells you offer.
@@qtfoxe lucky lmao
Wish my villagers would come asl for random stuff I pick up or just have in my inventory. Oke good change that NH has is that Villagers will randomly come to your house without having to ask you in the village (Don't think that was in NL at least)
I also don't think that the Scorings were so weird, but what I think is that this Dude was probably triggered cause New Horizons wasn't on the top of the Scorings.
By the way in my opinion it would be below the rest of the of the other Animal Crossing games, which shows, that there are more opinions than just one in this world.
I completely agree, I would add that the way they implemented the customisation took away a bit of the charm of the game. We lost a lot of the new leaf very special art style to have more blocky standardised world, these got rid of the texte bubbles, the menus have no personality, it just lost a lot of the charm. And the town itself is somewhat worse than even the one from wild world. There are only 3 buildings, none of them particularity complete, interesting or engaging. New horizon just feels like "cute Minecraft" where all the role play elements that made the spine of the series are gone.
@Rivers Grace Well the fact it's a sandbox does mean the world has to be a bit more blocky, but for the rest I don't think it's justify by the sand boxe nature of the game. In fact, a sandbox game should allow me to have more than 3 public buildings in my town and be able to customise them to make it the way I want. And the charm of the game shouldn't take a hit as well. Trust me, I liked the sand boxe aspect of this game and it certainly helped to draw people to the franchise, I just think that the serie has sacrificed a bit too much of its DNA. I hope the next animal crossing game will keep and expand on the sand boxe aspect without impacting my immersion and the charm of the game. And the fact that it takes days to do anything really creative in the game, days during which there wasn't anything else to do beside filling the museum and growing money because the NPCs in this game are useless and there is almost no interesting activity on the island like their was in the last games really didn't help me. In new leaf and wild world, I would talk to every villager and someone is gonna give me an interesting quest, I would go on tortimer island, in every building of main street, talk to the special villager on plaza, that would give me quests, see the town get bigger and the shop gradually upgrading ... I think this could have easily be implemented in NH without making the game less of a sandbox.
ngl i feel like new horizons coming after new leaf is justified. i wish it had actually been a full game, with more content than new leaf. sadly it is not, even though they had so much time to develop it.
Tbf there's only so much you can do with it without changing the entire concept of the game.
Do wish there was more stuff to do in multi-player though.
@@loli_cvnt5622 minigames. Nuff said.
seeing the graphics in the first game makes me so nostalgic.
I kinda get why NL is better than NH
Its because of the updates (in my opinion)
NL was already finished and got a 2.0 update who added so many thing too
NH got so many updates but it was updates that a lot of AC games had like bunny day,Halloween or Christmass the game wasnt complete when he released
And honestly it still doesn’t feel complete at this point. Still so much missing from the AC experience in NH.
Finally I don’t dislike NH but all the other games were way better. It’s probably because the NH changed so much like no post office (or town hall) but population growing and Wild World just hit me and I still have my DS playing Wild World and I still have my GameCube playing Population Growing.
I think they only included the holidays in NH as updates because they didn't want people to spoil everything, especially for new players to the franchise and because some things worked slightly differently (like Toy Day and Halloween) from previous games. They intended for things to be left to as much surprise as they could manage. That, and they were following the trend that a lot of games seem to be doing these days which is constant updates for new features and whatnot - but they already had a plan as to how long they would do them which is why we got nothing else after awhile. That, and they had to leave out some features to implement the new ones and see how things went. Best case scenario is that the next main game takes the best parts of NH and the best parts of NL and manages to slot them together nicely
@@jettash0720 Then why not in the other games ?
@@Wanesaie Idk, probably because it was easier for them to do updates like this on Switch?
They gave Battlefield 2042 a higher score than Kirby Triple deluxe one of my personal favourite games of all time. Just saying IGN doesn't have the best track record
cry about it
And as a Sonic fan, this is familiar as well.
@@amesstarline5482 As Both a Sonic, Kirby, Animal Crossing and Pokémon Fan, I am seething with anger.
Kirby Triple Deluxe kinda sucks, Robobot is much better, 3D is just worse Return to Dreamland
Not only was IGN pretty hard when reviewing the Sonic games, but they were also pretty hard on "Freedom Planet", "Dust: An Elysian Tail", and "Super Lucky's Tale" for the same reason why they hated Sonic (and not because of the gameplay, BTW).
Honestly, no for once, I would argue IGN did a good job here. These are all pretty much where I would mostly place all of them as well. Maybe their REASONINGS for it are a bit meh, but the scores themselves I agree with.
And btw I would rank 5 as a game you can find enjoyment in without major game-breaking glitches and the like, or you can get through and say “yeah that was a game.
Which as bare-bones as amiibo festival was, I would say it fits that 5 rank exactly. It’s no more complicated than something like, idk, candy land or the game of life. It’s meant as a baby game that adults can at least half enjoy.
thats an opinion
Amiibo Festival getting a 5 is completely fair. It's not a godawful game, there's just basically no reason to play it over any of the Mario Parties.
Sure, City Folk takes alot from Wild World, but I think that's a good thing, and I don't know how City Folk could be worse than Wild World. Remember, Wild Wold was a DS game. It had a low resolution screen and crunchy audio. The size of the town in Wild World was pretty small and all the players had to share a house. With all that in mind, it makes sense why they wouldn't change too much. It's great to have a Wild World experience on a big widescreen, with high quality music and visuals.
I loved your 100 days in og Animal Crossing and I hope you do more videos like it.
I liked it too
I liked where this video was going at first, pointing out stupid things like IGN basically implying there's nothing to do in AC without the NES games, but the latter half of this video seemed odd to me. Your whole point in the second half seems to be based on you believing New Horizons is the best Animal Crossing game and therefore deserves a higher score than other games, despite the context of those other games' reviews happening before New Horizons came out. You are arguing that IGN should go back and lower the scores of the other AC games to make NH look better? I think this is kind of a silly point. Everyone knows that the Gamecube game was reviewed in the context of the game as a standalone, not as a ranking for the game in the series, since the series wasn't a series back then. I'm not going to assume an NES game that was given a score of 10 back in the 80s would be objectively better than a modern game on the Switch given a 9. These reviews are meant to be read in the context of their time period. Saying that IGN needs to go back and lower the scores of older games to make them look worse than modern games makes no sense, since, again, these reviews must be viewed in a historical context. If they went back and changed AC's scores, they would literally have to go back every day and say "Is Bubble Bobble for the PS1 really worthy of a 6 out of 10 in modern standards??" Which is a lot of effort for no profit and it doesn't even make sense to do so.
Also, New Horizons is definitely not the best AC game, imo, so it does deserve to be below some older games, but this is all based on opinion, so....
Kirby series: *You challenge me mortal*
No but, really, IGN, HATE Kirby
All of the ratings seemed pretty fair lol
I sense 5 unnecessaey words in the title.
based
The rating I'm most familiar with is Pokemon ORAS' 7.8/10 (too much water)
I have no clue what's going on at IGN lol
Ign is just team magma in disguise
These ratings all look fair to me
No point getting pressed over City Folk's 7.5 because that still means it's a good game, and let's be real not every video game should get 8s or 9s
New leaf is objectively better, content wise and it's not that surprising its scored better than new horizons.
they gave new horizons a nearly perfect score and mans is mad about that. BRUH
I know new horizons has MANY missing features from new leaf and I know why it was ranked that low. This was before the new updates so the ranking makes sense
... It's still not finished after the new update.
The Niintendo 64's Doubutsu no Mori had framerate issues, which were fixed in the GameCube port.
I think the reason is because everyone enjoys animal crossing diffrently as it is such a unique game.
New Leaf over New Horizons, is completely fair by far. Horizons was such a let down after a month
Actually Decent reviews. I feel like this title is clickbaity af
Lol I’m gonna have to agree that New Leaf is top tier. New horizons won’t ever top it for me or my friends and I dropped it after the first few months during the pandemic. 🤣
city folk was definately the low point of the main line games, as it felt like a sidegrade from the game cube. If you had either wild world or the og animal crossing there was no reason to play city folk. A 7.5 is not a bad review, its a perfectly functional game but, that is all it was.
Overall I think their reviews were mostly accurate as a free game/ cheaper game should be rated more leniantly.
It wasn’t it was peak much better then wild world. Back in the day I can Unterstand why you would think that but still I do love wild world and let’s go to the city but let’s go to the city was overall more enjoyable. To be fair it is not the fault of wild world but more of the ds the screen is just almost to small for me and the graphics are terrible. Wenn I started to play let’s go to the city I never wanted to go to back everything was better. To be fair it was 2014 and I was playing on a good tv with good speakers. But there are so many improvements in city folk that many don’t notice. You have to play both each for a long time to really appreciate city folk.
Let’s go to the city= cityfolk (European name)
That there was no reason to play it. I don’t think so for me it was GameCube and wild world animal crossing mixed together. And I still think expect new leaf it is the best animal crossing game if you don’t care about mobility. The city also was beautiful the music there is so great! In general the audio quality is better and finally no frame drops when it rains and 60fps which is for animal crossing extremely smooth. (New horizon runs on 30fps and wild world to)
The dialog was worse but it wasn’t bad. The dialog from villager to villager is still great and mean.
Conclusion: In my opinion new horizon is the low point because it did launched unfinished as fuck half of the content from new leaf was missing and cityfolk was nothing completely new but you have to think about it they only did have 3 years time, for new horizon it was 7 years. And it still did came unfinished.
I do agree that city folk is the one that did the last new but I still think this doesn’t make it worse then wild world or GameCube animal crossing for me because of cityfolk I don’t have a reason to play wild world unless I want to revisit my old town
When new horizons first came out it was missing a lot of features that were in new leaf, and I was highly disappointed
Which is dumb, because they told you it would come and the reason why. Dont be disappointed at that, what're you 12
Some people in the world have very limited internet access and their exposure to the game is the cover, don't really care what the excuse for an unfinished game is, what're you 12?
For what it's worth, Amiibo Festival is the perfect drinking game 🍻
Also I think 9 is too high of a score for NH. It's a huge disappointment compared to NL, I expected a lot more from it and it couldn't even have half the features that NL had at launch- they had to add that in later. And then they pretended it was all new. It also focuses too much on customization and expects you to be happy with that 90% of the time. You can't even upgrade the shop more than once! I play AC to talk to villagers, and when the villagers spit out the same 5 phrases and tell me what I did the day before like I have dementia, I get really tired of playing. It deserves a much lower at-launch score, I can't believe they struggled to find things wrong with it because as someone who's played every single one I found a lot to complain about 😂
I absolutely agree with everything here.
IGN is a good gaming news resource, just don't rely on their reviews. Check other website reviews before theirs.
For once I agree with IGN, New horizon is a worst game than New Leaf, especially at launch. The only thing better in new leaf is the customisation, but at this point just go play Minecraft or other decoration games. The core of animal crossing is the atmosphere and role play elements and both are completely downgraded in New Horizon. The Villagers are completely lifeless, they offer nothing else than their designs, they have boring dialogues with no meaningful interaction. Shops are worse than even in Wild world, you no longer feel progress through main street growing, nor do you feel the charm from the special events and characters, everything is so standardised. The hourly soundtrack is painful and repetitive, that's one of the reason that made me stop playing alongside the complete lack of content compared to previous entry. I honestly think the game has less quality of life than new leaf, since everything is so centralised and locked behind punitive menus, with pointless overcomplicated and repetitive dialogues, and since the game want you to carry lots of ressources and build lots of stuff, doing it should have been more ergonomic. I'm not against customisation but the price we had to pay for it is honeslty way too high. For me the game is like a 7.5 when New leaf is an 8.5 and Wild word either a 7.5 or and 8 with the way I rank games.
IGN is painfully bad at reviewing games.
I liked early IGN. I also enjoyed it when Greg Miller and Collin Moriarty worked there, it seemed to go downhill for me when a lot of staff members quit to found Kinds Funny.
Back in the day, Elwctronic Gaming Monthly would have multiple people review every game, with their scores averaged at the end. I wish IGN and other companies would do that, so you get multiple opinions and if one reviewer is kinda dumb you get others to bounce off them
I don't know who it is doing the transcripts for your videos but they have a couple of errors!
IGN will have a stroke when they realize you can make your entire island water in new horizons
The "too much water" thing for ORAS was hilarious given it was a remake of a game that had large expanses of water when there were soooo many valid criticisms for that remake that they didn't touch on at all.
Before this video and (even still, honestly, if I were quizzed) as far as the first few Animal Crossing games go, if you showed me a screenshot of each and told me to identify them, I couldn't. They all look kinda similar graphically, as someone who hasn't played any of the games.
Wow that’s an odd thing to say. The original looks like a late N64/early GameCube game, wild world looks like a ds game, City folk and wild world look similar yes, but it’s mostly because of how similar they are, New leaf looks like an early 3DS game, and finally New horizons is the HD one.
The customization makes new horizons super top tier and the only complaint i even have is that the dialogue feels more stale and less genuine, that’s such an easy fix tho and i agree that the ign ranking system is so flawed
Why do people talk about IGN like its this single person reviewing games? "How could IGN rate this game higher than this one?" because they have different people reviewing these games. Do you expect them to go through every other game reviewed on the site to make sure their score matches with every other game? Its a website with different people reviewing games, its really not that crazy.
I came across your channel yesterday and have watched several videos since. The audio in your videos slowly gets quieter from start to finish of each video.
I'd say New Horizon is too high lmao it's a 8/7.5 at best
City Folk was my first AC game, and I absolutely loved it
I think it's dumb that you say that a spinoff should have a lower score than a main game. Pocketcamp has
an 8 because it is really amazing for a mobile game. Hhd also has an 8 but it is a better game because it is a game on a console and it has higher standards.
Wait is this the Halo 2 Laso guy?
Remember when IGN panned star fox 2 (the SNES one not 64) for it's graphics?
IGN is painfully bad at pretty much anything they do now. I used to really trust the reviews back in the ps1 days. Ever since game website writers started calling themselves “journalists” it’s been a downhill ride.
It’s kind of sad because they used to be a lot of fun to read. They never took things too seriously but we’re still informative. But that being said they are nowhere near the worst gaming site. That’s Kotaku.
Hey, I just wanted to point out a small error in the crediting of this video. I noticed at a few parts that Protendo is credited for video footage, but the footage playing is from Chuggaaconroy's New Leaf Let's Play. Other than that, it's a good video and I love the points you brought up!
For me, City Folk is the weakest in the series, so I understand it being reviewed as lower than Wild World. City Folk didn't capture me as much as Wild World, New Leaf, New Horizons, or even GameCube Animal Crossing has. And keep in mind, I've only had a copy of GameCube crossing for about 4 years, while I started playing when Wild World was the most recent game. And I don't even have and NES games, I just enjoy it more than City Folk.
Pocket camp was what got me into animal crossing as a whole. And I loved new horizons and new leaf.
My tier list for AC games:
S- New Horizons, New Leaf
A-
B- Pocket Camp
C-
D-
F- Amiibo Festival
Haven't played- Every other AC game (including Amiibo Festival)
I agree with that list. As I only have played new leaf, new horizons and pocket camp
I think some of the low scores are definitely attributed to it being a "girls" game. If there's one thing gamer bros do well, it's letting themselves be held back from enjoying things by misogyny
I think the title of the video could have been stopped at "IGN is Painful", "IGN is Painfully Bad", and "IGN is Painfully Bad at Reviewing".
My take
1: New Leaf 9.7 Huge game packed with content. So much fun stuff too do everyday. Welcome Amiibo gave us stuff we didn’t even need, they added to content to a complete game and it was amazing
2. City Folk 9.0 far better than wild world, more limited online play but used Wii Speak. Adds more content by the city, so I’d always find myself playing longer since there was more content. The motion controls make my arms tired but are incredibly satisfying at times.
3. New Horizons 8.9 launched with little to no content, with time traveling you could play the whole game in a day on launch. Normal stuff that should have been there from the start like previous games were added in free content updates. It’s dumb we have to pay $60 for an unfinished game then wait for stuff that should have previously been there. We wouldn’t have to worry about keeping the game alive if all of that was they because there would be enough to keep us playing for several years like new leaf, people stopped playing for time periods simply because there wasn’t enough to do. Happy Home Paradise was like Welcome amiibo and it worked fine.
4. Happy Home Designer 8.5
Happy Home Designer introduced new ways to decorate you home, which actually made it worth being done. It offers loads of creative freedom which brings a lot to those who play just to decorate. And there’s so many villagers you’ll be playing for days. Not to mention how much cool stuff you get to add beyond the requirements. It’s just s spin-off so there isn’t loads to do, which is why it’s lower. It’s also very repetitive. It’s still s fun game. It would be nice if we could design our own house in HHD and invite friends to it via online play.
5. pocket camp. 8.0 it’s a mobile game so I didn’t have high expectations for it, only reason I played it was for my love of animal crossing. It’s free to play and it’s easily accessible. It’s very reseti it but is charming and decorating it is so fun with the Nintnedo console themed items you can get form fortune cookies. Only complaint is you have to use real money for leaf tickets which are very useful.
6. Wild World 7.8
Wild world isn’t bad, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not as good as it’s made out to be.. it’s a huge improvement from gamecube but there’s not enough, online is fun but you can’t even do that anymore. There’s only two shops, the upgrades to nooks shop aren’t very good, and we can’t do chores for villagers anymore. Chromes we’re dreadful I. Gamecube because of the camera, I would actually enjoy them with the way the camera works from wild world going on. Anyhow it’s just kinda boring and it removes holidays which city folk brings back. City folks is such and improvement and all wild world did was make the game more accessible.
7. Population Growing 7.5
So many issues, you pretty much can only store clothes and and only 3 at a time, the house payments are ridicules and you can only seek one thing at a time. You cna only donate one thing at a time and you can’t shake trees while holding a net or fishing Rod. You have to mail the fossils to get them assessed and the villagers are so rude. The camera works horribly and the music is dreadful. It’s an okay first game and it is very charming but that’s about all I can say good.
8. Animal Forest 7.4
Only one point lower. It’s just population growing but worse. That’s literally it. There’s so few differences and what there is isn’t mainly game changers.
9. Amiibo Festival. 2.9
It’s not as bad as people say. If you buy every animal crossing Amiibo figures and play through all of the events each season with at least 2 players you can have a good time it’s dumb that’s there are actually mini games but you have to buy them and they aren’t in the main mode but if you decorate your party board with villagers and public works projects and then unlock all mini games it’s pretty fun. I mens I wouldn’t pick to play it but if someone asked me to play one party I probably wouldn’t mind.
That’s my take. There’s also a GBA mini game you can play on gamecube called Animal Island
And a Miiverse type software on Wii U called Animal Crossing Plaza. Just thought I’d mention those.
Thank you for making this!!~
its crazy how many people keep pointing out the unfinished or unrealistic villagers in acnh, im currently playing gamecube and the villagers with the same personality type also say the same exact things often, sure they are more rude but that doesn't make them more realistic and imo barely more interesting because there is no real way to interact with them outside of them monologuing to you, there is no way to really have them react to things you do around town. Which is why to me, the villagers are kind of secondary/a single part of the general ambiance and vibe of the game which is the real focus.
Also, even in gamecube, the villagers are written like exagerated characters; they exist through their personality type and don't really deviate, they either praise you all the time, belittle you all the time, or say funny stuff, and imo the ones who shine are the ones who have funny writing. but all in all, having not really played animal crossing as a kid, i don't feel like i'm forming a connection with the villagers.. maybe thats just me though!
Amiibo festival is so bad it has its own tier
I always take reviews with a grain of salt
not only can opinions differ so can experiences and thoughts
So for example a reviewer says they had issues with online and the game shouldn't have been released In this state
they could easily patch the issue and by the time you play the online Is perfect
or maybe the reviewer Is looking at an old game compared to new games as to reviewing It historically
6:56 lousy City to walk in... I'd love to see how they reviewed COD or Fifa. Considering its more of the same. Now that doesn't make thoses game bad persay. Just repetitive.
But there wasn't a city there before, now there is, and its bad because you can just go outside? Okk BRB imma go chop a tree and talk to random cats, dogs, owls, hippos and be mayor.
If it was that bad, people wouldn't play simulation games like cycling ones.
New Horizons being ranked below New Leaf is fair actually. New Horizons had so little content at launch, and it still has less content than New Leaf after a year of updates.
Yeah it's pretty goofy, especially considering the fact that they give every CoD game a 7-10 without fail.
Growing up, I actually made the original animal crossing a m rated game. Just pretend Tom nook is the head of a mafia and you have a deadline
Sonic franchise: First time?
i just found this channel and love it
I will say while new horizons is a good game I do think when it came out it was a lot less fun than now. I also think that logically it shouldn't be worse than GameCube and I could see an argument for it being better than new leaf. It all depends why you play the game. If you play for the character interactions and mini games then new leaf would be better, if you play because you like customizing and making your own little town in your own aesthetic then new horizons would be better. And of course if you want the characters to burn you so bad you need medical attention then GameCube is best lol
🎶🎵“a perfect 10 but only on IGN“
Sad days!
IGN gives ACNH a 9 out of 10.
Rocket Elijah -> 😡😡😡
"Unfortunately you can't connect online in Super Mario Bros 3. Nintendo needs to embrace online technology."
-IGN probably
This is literally true to most Nintendo games, especially Kirby smh
IGN can't rate anything, I mean, they gave Sonic Pocket Adventure a 10, but Sonic Mania, the best Sonic game, not even an 8.
Wild world is my all time favorite ac game to date
Animal crossing is in the top 5 games I regret buying, so no I don't think so.
Actually I agree with the review, the game gets boring fast and the characters are sometimes annoying, If I wanted to build and live in a village I would play minecraft, Plus your only limited to building and upgrading your village in animal crossing while minecraft has that already and more, And minecraft is cheaper so ratio
You make it sound like a 7/10 and 8/10 are bad scores. Those are still pretty good scores. It’s like if a game isn’t 9/10 or higher it’s garbage.
City folk is my favorite one and so many people hate it and I don’t get it
It's ok. IGN hates Sonic games too. IGN are not to be trusted.
the IGN reviews are pretty justified I think new horizons is praised way to much.
Personally, the Animal Crossing series is not for me. If you enjoy it, more power to you.
new horizons was so easy to give up after a few short months or even weeks, came out incomplete, final update and it still feels incomplete its only good if your favorite part of animal crossing was making things look pretty, which is valid, but what happened to the personality that just oozes out of older characters? what happened to all the fruit? what happened to nook upgrades? what happened to having to actually interact with certain villagers for special features like sabel, new horizons feels so rushed and so incomplete, especially when someone has a very nice and full island and you get 20 frame running through it on original nintendo hardware.
i think that ign guy has a problem.
For me:
AC - 9/10
ACWW - 9.5/10
ACCF - 8/10
ACNL - 10/10
ACHH - 9.5/10 (idk why, but I just really loved this game)
ACAF - 2/10
ACPC - 6/10
ACNH - 8/10
ACNH and ACNH???
I think New Horizon received too high a score tbh. It feels so stale and lifeless
Actually they were pretty accurate
algorhythm comment
you sound familiar
almost as if you constantly talk about space conflict
I’ve played all installments. New leaf is by far my favorite
I decided to make a list before watching this video and it perfectly lines up yes new horizons added a lot but in doing so lost a bit of the charm of the series
I played animal crossing new leaf when new horizons came out and played hours every day for a month then got new horizons and played about 3 days before forgetting i had it
New leaf is awesome
Pause at 4:01
Why is there a full grown man in animal crossing
...That's a Mii Mask. 🤦♂️ That's your player character anyways.
@@themarioking7127 Oh I had no idea you could do that, did it stop being a function after city folk?
@@WS_Studios New Leaf. I'm pretty sure everything stopped being a function after New Leaf, actually.
to be fair, people who play Animal Crossing to get immersed would enjoy New Leaf more than New Horizons because of the villagers having more personality and actually being able to do things on their own like move away. But if you just wanna play Animal Crossing for the ability to decorate and be a dictator who bans ugly people than New Horizons is perfect for you I guess. But hey, this is from someone who feels _much_ more comfortable on a 3DS than a Switch. Even if the circle pad on mine has seen better days.
So, never trust an ign review? Got it 😂 animal crossing is one of the best games out there idc what anyone says, also, I think if they had younger people like in their 20’s reviewing the games, they’d be more accurate. Shoot, I’ll do it 😂
ACNH below ACNL is justified.
Ign is just team magma
Apart from amiibo festival I think all those reviews were spot on. New horizons was NOT a 10/10 game by any means and to say it is is just a lie. It's an amazing game that I put over 1000 hours into, but damn it had a ways to go.
One ironic thing about most negative reviews of New Horizons is that they said you can only have one save file per system, despite the fact it was also like this in Population: Growing and Let's Go to the City, I mean I do get that there's a multiple profiles system on the Nintendo Switch, as well the Wii U (I just included it because it has it without a mainline Animal Crossing) but like the most likely theory of why they did that is to not make the one system multiplayer complicated.
Now the other negative reviews? Nyehhh... I mean I haven't played any of the older titles, but I think New Horizons has the best customization options since you can properly make the humanoid into a self insert rather than being able to take control of a humanoid that can behave like you, and the town no longer changing up that noticably like in the earlier titles after a hiatus is also something I like, since it's technically also healthier, because who is unaware of the consequences on repetitive playing? You know, I think I enjoy New Horizons due to how experimental it is compared to the older titles.
Having some precedent doesn't really mean it's a good feature. I'd say the whole "one save file per system" is a sacred cow they need to kill in the next version. It would be really nice to have multiple islands with different themes, or to allow different players of the same system to have their own saves with islands designed as they like.
