      To be honest I'm suspecting the subscription service and the premium currency is coming back as soon as people forget they said that won't be coming back.
      That and I'm sure those annoying monthly things are still gonna happen so I'm thinking on dropping it by October it's just so stressful and repetitive it ain't worth it

    I'm definitely gonna check out paid Pocket Camp (although HOPEFULLY it's not 30 bucks hahahha), but I think my biggest worry is that it will suffer from not getting the live service drip feed of new content. If I remember correctly, Pocket Camp is a little bit threadbare when it comes to mechanics, so I know a lot of Pocket Camp fans were really into the drops of new content (particularly new furniture.)
    Hopefully the game has enough clothes and furniture stuffed into it now to hold my interest! Otherwise I think the looming idea of "this is never gonna get an update" is going to be on my mind as I play.

    • @itswavelengths
      @itswavelengths  3 месяца назад +21

      this is a good point. i think for people who have been playing pocket camp for a while, they may end up bailing with the lack of content. for people like me who played once in 2017 and haven't since, there are seven years of content updates and additions to work my way through.

  • @beeshrooms

    Pocket Camp not having other players and friends show up as npcs on your map areas, not having market boxes where you and your friends can buy and sell fruits/fish/bugs to trade materials, not having cooperative elements where you can water eachother's flowers and share event creatures to people gardens to finish tasks faster, and not being able to send each other gift packages (which contain materials and sometimes even a free fortune cookie!) is going to be so sad.
    I'm incredbily interested in seeing how they're going to manage to adapt this game into an offline, single-player experience.
    Pocket Camp's online features that allow you to help and cooperate with people on your friends list even when they aren't currently online is such a game-changing feature that I wish and hope they will bring to the main series in some way.
    The way you can be on opposite sides of the earth, never playing at the same time, but still exchange little gifts everyday or get notifications that they helped you get into the quarry after you requested help 6 hours ago- it's just nice. I don't even actually know these people, but we're pressing buttons in a game every day just to make it a better experience for one another.
    It also sorta reminds me of Gamecube Animal Crosssing, where it was designed so a parent and their child could both experience the same video game and share a town, even though due to work schedules they couldn't both be home playing together at the same time.
    Scheduling meet ups in New Leaf or New Horizons and baring through long loading screens and the being at the whim of your internet connections was a cruel fate sometimes.
    There'a a lot I could say about the Pocket Camp or about the direction of the Animal Crossing series as of late, but I'll wrap it up there.
    Basically, I enjoy Pocket Camp as its own thing. It sorta falls into the dollhouse gameplay of Happy Home Designer or New Horizons (where you pick your favorite characters to live with and design your perfect little diorama of a campsite), more so than being a life sim like the older games- but that's okay for a spin-off.

      i personally didn't like the online features honestly. i felt like i was obligated to water peoples flowers and send gifts every day. my favorite part of the game was befriending all of the villagers and catching all of the bugs/fish. i always viewed animal crossing as a chill collecting game instead of an online interactive experience so switching to offline won't change how i feel about it at all

    ive always hated this game because the idea of having to buy blind boxes to obtain furniture that most people will actually want to decorate with. you can say “oh but its not necessary to the game!” but when youre playing a game thats focus is decorating, having so many items essentially locked behind a payway is basically pay to win. also hate hate hate limited time events. like, sure, make it so you have to pay to get the items, but at least keep them available to purchase at any time,,, i know thats how all mobile games work but its just so particularly un-animal crossing, so i totally agree when you said it didnt feel like ac
    hopefully with this offline version, youll be able to freely unlock everything as you progress, although im wondering if theyll exclude some of the items

  • @olgabranska609

    I'm fairly sure they're making an offline version because of a new legislation in the EU that will force game studios to create offline versions of games after they're cut off online service. The legislation is still in the works but has a good chance to become official soon. I doubt they're making it out of some pro-consumer sentiment, because they've been super greedy with paid purchases up until the announcement - for e.g., they did a leaf ticket summer sale just a few weeks before announcing the end of the game (and leaf tickets are apparently not going to work in the offline version, that was so vile and disgustingly greedy of them lol). Something tells me they're just doing this out of legal obligation and the offline version is going to be very barebones, since there's way more game mechanics that rely on internet connectivity than just visiting other players. I have my doubts and I won't be surprised if the offline version turns out to be a throwaway mess just to comply with this new legislation.

      @@yogfan1139 Frankly, that's an initiative mostly in its infancy in terms of legislation as it currently is a petition as well as action in terms of contacting representatives. So, if it's successful, it'll be so in several years. And no multi-billion-dollar corporation will comply to something that could become legislation several years down the line. At the current state it's more likely they think they can squeeze a bit of additional profit out of Pocket Camp before it's completely abandoned by them.

    I think the lack of online will make this game suck tbh. everyday getting onto this game its not to talk to the villagers or interact with them. its to do the like auto task completer pick up fruit and fish and mainly, visit other peoples camp sites, and do the built in online stuff ex. shovel quarry, stickers, gifts. that's most of the game, and it will suffer without it. its closer to social media in that way..... so I just can't imagine the game being ok without it . I'm still excited or the offline version since I have put seven years into this game...lol but it won't be the same at all

    i heard about the closure and i actually came back to the game. I played at launch until they added fortune cookies. The fortune cookies were a step too far. Before the leaf tickets were for speeding things up. Fortune cookies cost leaf tickets, and they're the ONLY way to get certain items.
    But now I'm back and I'm actually having fun, ignoring these items, as hopefully there's a way to get the back in the offline version. I am SO down for a new handheld AC game. I'm the same, AC is better on handheld, and Horizons doesn't count for some reason

  • @SlyAceZeta

    As a fellow "only consistent Animal Crossing player among my friends" person, I played Pocket Camp religiously for a few months before eventually putting it down. I actually just redownloaded it a couple of days before they announced the shutdown (...the third thing to do that to me this year... I'm getting suspicious). I'm really glad that we'll be able to keep our save data.
    To your first question, I'm hoping for $10, but I could definitely see $15. I'm scared that they'll go to $20 and force my wallet, but higher than $20 is not worth it to me.
    To your second question, what I'm most concerned about them doing is keeping the game in a static place where 1) there are no seasonal events, even for the big seasons, and 2) we can't get any items that currently cost Leaf Tickets. If that happens, there'd be little point in picking it up when a lot of people will already have most of the items they can get. I never spent a penny on Pocket Camp before, but if I'm buying an offline version, I want to be able to get everything that's in the game.

    • @NataliasClips
      @NataliasClips 3 месяца назад +1

      Same, play it for a few months until you put it down it's actually how I got through the game, I played during the Sanrio event, and played until the second anniversary, never liked how money hungry it was, the only reason why I appreciate it is because it got me into the animal crossing series what's new leaf, the game that it was somewhat derivative of. I hope that you can get all the items in the game still, like all the Halloween events are at Halloween, are all the spring stuff is in spring, and they make way to get the items built into the game.

Here’s to hoping for some sort of furniture integration 🤷🏽‍♀️ secretly I was hoping that pocket camp would turn into an island that you could visit and be able to move villagers onto your Main island, participate in the monthly goals, be able to transfer furniture, and collect more crafting materials buuuuuuuuut I guess not

I know friends will be gone which makes me sad since it's (imo) one of the big things that keeps the game play loop fresh aside from events which.. is that even gonna be a thing? or is it just gonna be get reissue material and craft it? tldr I dont like uncertainty :, ]

    ACPC soft died for me when they added leaf tickets but I knew they were were gonna add a 2nd currency and they also made it pretty easy to earn them so it was kinda like whatever. I completely left when they added the fortune cookies and then made those items in the cookies required progression in certain things. Yeah, you could also earn these but not as fast as leaf tickets and in a game where the cosmetics are more than half of the point I was pissed that they'd put them behind a paywall. It definitely felt like a different kind of grind than normal AC games and that grind was not fun. And then the 3 tier subcriptions 😫... Everything's optional. You don't need to spend anything to play this game but they made it so that a chill animal crossing game is achievable behind microtransactions.
    I never really hated ACPC and at times it can be chill until it's not, after picking it back up for these last couple of months I am waiting for the offline version. I personally can not stomic paying more than 10 bucks for an app (i'm looking at you square & capcom) so if the offline version does come out at something like 14.99 I'm just gonna nod at it.

    my question is are they going to implement ways to get all the items that were previously locked behind a paywall or do those go poof? I used to love pocket camp, played it before they implemented the fortune cookies and the excessive paywalls, but it became grind-y and boring for little to no reward. (ex: you could never finish events in time without paying for items). I'm a completionist, so grinding for reward isn't really my problem, it's the kick in the teeth of the pay-to-win.
