He's right, though. Peaches are the worst fruit. They don't even have their cool, pointy shape anymore. Pear supremacy.

This is madness. If I get some mushy disgusting pears I'm requesting a refund.
They went too far in the butt direction with the peaches. It was a fine balance before, now they're skanky.
I'm gonna be avoiding all reviews cos I want everything to be nice and fresh. May check out scores, but to be honest I don't really bother with reviews anyway. I find they cloud my judgement.
The game looks cute but also very standard for the genre when it comes down to gameplay. Grind materials to build and upgrade shit. I don't see anything that hasn't been done a million times. But it's a Nintendo game and has a lot of charm because of the inhabitants and quirky dialogue. So 80-84 or 85-89 seems like a safe bet. I'll go with the latter because there is quite some hype around this and it has been a good while before the last game came out.
I think games like this are hard to review just like Sims or Minecraft. These games are in a category of their own, like an acquired taste, you either hate them or love them to bits. Moreover, how can AC be reviewed within a short span of time, the events etc have not arrived. It's kinda a long term game.
Lol @ City Folk but that's is easily the worst one.
predicting 91 for this one.
People talking about "AC is a hard/impossible game to review" as if its previous 4 entries didn't all review perfectly fine, while 3 of 4 have really respectable scores in the upper 80s.
Especially now with the 5th main game in the series, the reviewers will definitely know that Animal Crossing is the kind of game that gets its charm from playing it over a long period of time and will have that in mind when evaluating and scoring the game.

I'm expecting 85-90. I think people are going to LOVE the game, but they won't give it that high of a score because they will claim it's not a big enough leap for the series.
I feel like one of these entries has to have diminishing critical returns - catching a coelacanth for the 6th time in a post-Stardew Valley world which has far more meaningful character development and interaction. So then the next AC entry completely overhauls the game in bold new ways. Maybe? I hope this is the title that sparks that revolution. 79.
They probably also think doom eternal is more of the same and FF7 will be tanked in reviews because it's so old
The day Animal Crossing turns into Stardew
Valley is the day I part ways with one of my favorite series, what a nightmare

I think the idea that AC is niche needs to fade away. It has a similar fanbase to and is just as popular as The Sims and I doubt anyone would call that series niche.
Dear Nintendo,
I'm preloading this right now. Please unlock a 40 hour demo so I can effectively structure my days away from work until Friday. Thanks!
Oh, and 88ish.

New leaf sold 11 million dude. Animal crossing sells almost as much as mainline 3d mario. Its everything but niche.
85-88ish easily but I see it struggling to go above that. I think people will ultimately give into the misguided temptation to compare this to Stardew Valley endlessly and that will be the critical point of comparison in the lower scoring reviews.
It looks to be the best in the series by FAR and I think it will sell spectacularly well out of the gate and throughout the rest of the year.

not sure you can call something that has the potential to sell 20 million copies an aquired taste.
SDV and Animal Crossing are completely different games.
i love SDV but it doesn't even come close to scratching the itch that AC does.
neither should become the other.
Reviewers have apparently been given multiple save files at various points in the game so they can experience all the systems that open up mid-game and end-game despite only having a couple weeks to play.
Yeah. TBH I probably played more of Stardew Valley than I have of any Animal Crossing game . . . But I would never ask for Animal Crossing to be more like Stardew Valley. The games have a very different feel and focus. People who want it to be more like Stardew Valley need to accept that Animal Crossing likely isn't catering towards them.
Also, i'm gonna say it.
The idea that animal crossing is niche, or that a game like it doesn't deserve 90 comes from the games industry still male-focused bias that always existed. It isn't a realistic dark game, or a shooter. It's a cute game and has a fanbase that is female on its biggest part, and because of that a lot of people think it "doest count", or just try to diminish it. And that happens with any franchise that isn't aimed just towards young males, and it also happens here, no matter how progressive this site wants to pretend it is.
