The actually say the text in the written dialogue, just really fast so it sounds animalesque (or whatever the name of the speech they have is called), becuase its a reading program.Man I'm tired of the Banjo-Kazooie voice mumble that Nintendo does. It's 2020, let's move past that.

Welp, game of the year is locked then!
The pathing is fine but the mention of rivers and shit is like... ugh, just let the random seed be a random seed, and that really freshens everything up when you're too used to everything and finally start a new town.People were building bootleg paths anyway, might as well let them do it for real
That's exactly how I feel too. Same game with cheats.Ok I need to get this off my chest, take the reactionary punches that follows and then I'm done here.
HUGE AC fan here, easily my favorite Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS titles and I have limited experience with the home-console games. What drew me in was just the vibe. It's as simple as that, but what kept me was the charming design, of having random seeds which breeds "unique per player" content, and makes it really satisfying once you burnt out after 3 months on your village, constructions and management to say "Ok I'm gonna do-over it all, give me a new seed and a clean town!" and the joy of being in those 3-month sprints where I actually played it was all about the lived-in feeling. It would update my calendar spontaneously (even if it's all pre-planned systematically) and I would "log-in" every day and be surprised there was almost always something new happening. That hasn't changed but the rest of the experience has... and I can already tell it won't improve what I think makes the games work.
What makes it all work is the subtle and "hidden" nature of the way the games are systematized. It's the random terrain and town seeds, pattern generation, face generation, who comes and goes.
They literally took everything that used to be a reactive and organic element of the game engine and said "HERE YOU GO, PLAYER! YOU CAN CHEAT NOW." and we just get to decide literally every thing right down to almost stats that determine what is in your world. This is a cop out. Almost none of these things are actually new features to the game or its engine, they just give you the keys to them. I was already a bit leery about the Mayor thing in NL but it was a nice balance between the generated and the player-driven content. This is like 100% more player-driven and it takes out too much of what made AC stand out from any other "SIM" franchise.
Very, very disappointed right now. It's like "Animal Crossing: Materialist Edition".
Really debating whether I am getting it day 1 now. I hope they mitigate this lameness via good post-launch support so there's still a sense of an immersive and ever-growing world that changes with the clock.

"Optional but heavily UXed to let you frequently know 'hey you can do this too!'" kind of optional yeah, I don't need that.

Are we really at the point where we're complaining about the option to have the freedom to customize the island's geography to your liking?The pathing is fine but the mention of rivers and shit is like... ugh, just let the random seed be a random seed, and that really freshens everything up when you're too used to everything and finally start a new town.
It's so heavily UXed that people had to only sort of figure it out from advertisements, and... Nintendo revealed it in a video going over new features of the game, where they emphasized that it's for late-game only and optional."Optional but heavily UXed to let you frequently know 'hey you can do this too!'" kind of optional yeah, I don't need that.
To me this is like saying "Don't like shooting? Why don't you speedrun the level".Are we really at the point where we're complaining about the option to have the freedom to customize the island's geography to your liking?
Really?
Just don't use the tools!
Thank god about that.I just don't like the game's vibe right now. It's incensitivizing grinding, work and player-servicing which is the polar opposite of what the franchise originally was.
I've always just dabbled in Animal Crossing games, but I was hoping to make New Horizons the first one that I really sink my teeth into since my Switch is my most-played platform by a country mile. That said, all this time as new footage has slowly trickled out (culminating in today's Direct) I've had this nagging feeling of disappointment with the game's shift away from small-town life to a deserted island theme.
I haven't seen anyone else mention disapproval of this shift, but I was wondering if anyone else around here felt the same. As a deserted island starting from nothing, it feels like something more akin to a survival game than an Animal Crossing game. And I really, really don't enjoy survival games. Yes, I realize that it's still very much Animal Crossing, mechanically, but that "moving into a small town" vibe has always been one of the biggest draws of the series for me.
Anyone else feel similarly, or am I truly alone on this island? 😏

Animals can come to your island via Getaway Package, just like yourself, or if you visit a remote island and see someone, you can invite new guests to live on your island. There's also a campground option for temporary animal visits.
It's not going to to tell you evvetytime you start up the game that you should start terraforming."Optional but heavily UXed to let you frequently know 'hey you can do this too!'" kind of optional yeah, I don't need that.
Like, just to say Hi? Is there anyway to coax them into living on your island?
Apologies if I'm late on information. Just started watching now!
Not even remotely similar in any way. Nothing about this obliges you to participate in terraforming. It's completely and utterly optional. If the problem is you can't control yourself from partaking, that's on you. But the same exact AC experience can be had if that's what you really want.To me this is like saying "Don't like shooting? Why don't you speedrun the level".
Man I'm tired of the Banjo-Kazooie voice mumble that Nintendo does. It's 2020, let's move past that.
The fuck is wrong with the Phoenix Wright dude disappointed at so many customization. Just don't customize if you want the same kind of experience you had on the other ones. What the fuck. It's just options. Don't create roads, don't terraform. Jesus Christ.
I'm honestly surprised by the negativity from some people regarding the terraforming. If you don't like it you can completely ignore it's there and you can go and have your own vanilla experience with no problems at all.
That is a horrible simile. Doesn't make any sense really?To me this is like saying "Don't like shooting? Why don't you speedrun the level".
- This game does not currently support the ability to transfer your save file from one Nintendo Switch console to another. However, a function specific to Animal Crossing: New Horizons to move users and save data to another console is planned for later this year.
I believe there's such a thing as "too much of a good thing" and this is that. I enjoyed the slow-paced, almost unachievable endgame of the original games. I played it to live in it, and I never ever saw the biggest upgrades and I liked it that way.from all what I played and how my friends played was playing every day to grind new furniture, insects, fish another shit if you wanted everything.
All I needed to know time to use my voucher.Not sure if known but console to console save data transfer is planned
Start your new island life!
Start your new life on a deserted island, where you can do as you please and craft your very own paradise, in Animal Crossing: New Horizons for Nintendo Switch!www.nintendo.co.uk
No, the campground functions like it did in New Leaf so you can use the cards to get the villagers you want on your island. Some cards like the DJ KK card (and I guess other special characters) will not work at launch.Like, just to say Hi? Is there anyway to coax them into living on your island?
