Sure, it's great for the convenience factor (Ex: Not having to look at guides to get the face/hair you want), but it kinda takes a bit of life out of the game. what a weird sentiment imo the game has added SO much already in terms of convenience and beauty and fun but you'd still rather have your character creation stuck behind a once-a-day choice that not only requires you to remember what choice is what or that you cannot change at all tbh, it sounds like just nostalgia speaking lol its one thing to love the characters, and i also hope the harriet and rover make a reappearance, but i have no fondness behind what they did in game which was, at best, annoying ace 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm all for streamlining things, because having to look up guides to choose to get the face and hair you want was no fun. Though, having things like changing your hair now being done via a menu, which you access through a mirror in your house kinda takes a bit of life out of things. Your're no longer going to the hair salon and interacting with the owner/stylist. Now, if you actually had to go to Harriet's Shampoodle salon and talk to her to access this menu, then I wouldn't really mind at all.

Ithrak Utopia Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 If there's any issue, the convenience is taken a little further than it probably needed to be. I agree that the options should have been accessed via specific characters as to keep those personalities around if they have in fact been removed. I also feel that Animal Crossing could have become more convenient without needing to be basic. I don't think the player should be taken out of their home environment to a basic menu. I think I would rather the camera change its perspective to whichever way the mirror is facing, zoom in a little and have the options on the side. The preview would occur actively while within the player's home and the backdrop will be that section of the room the mirror is facing. To access one's inventory in this game for example, you're not warped out of the island environment to a menu. It's just a little off to me for there to be any break away from the immersion of the player's home. alienboyva 1 Quote Link to comment
alienboyva Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 That's cool there's a drop-off box for selling items when Nookling's is closed. Though, of course, they have to charge a fee for using it. Also, I like how you can change the volume of music playing in your house. Still, it makes me wonder if we'll be able to change the volume of the hourly music for when outside. Quote Link to comment
bel Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I like the easier customization, it was always really annoying having to look up a guide every time and waiting an entire day to change it if you ended up not liking it. Quote Link to comment

EH_STEVE Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 The new Doom and the new AC come out on same day and there's a meme going around about how they should do a crossover Quote Link to comment
alienboyva Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) We assumed this would be the case, but we now have official confirmation that island names can be up to 10 characters max... I'm wondering will your island be referred to as " _____ Island" and how will animals living on your island refer to it? I know in the town hall they refer it to as an Island now instead of a town, given the options to change the 'Island Flag' and 'Island Tune'. I was thinking of adding Isle to my island's name, because it'd be weird to have town or ville in its name, since it is an island after all. Though, if animals refer to it, like for example "I love living in _____" instead of "I love living on _____" then having Isle in the name would be weird. *Click to see full comic* Edited March 4, 2020 by alienboyva Quote Link to comment

alienboyva Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) OH MY.... There are ANIMATED wallpapers and floors!!!!

The Albraskan Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I’d be surprised if that wasn’t the wallpaper and flooring for completing the aquarium at the museum. Or more likely it’s from Sahara. Quote Link to comment
alienboyva Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) You can now handwrite/draw messages on the bulletin board... Why didn't hey add this before? In past games you could draw patterns with the touchscreen on DS/3DS and the Wii Remote pointer, so why not on the bulletin board as well? Anyway...It's cool that it's now there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New comic... *Click for full comic* Forget "How are your going to charge your Nook Phone on a deserted island?", because Nook already has power issues figured out. He has that Nook Stop terminal in Resident Services and he also makes island-wide broadcasts everyday on his intercom system. I'm more interested in how this Nook Phone gets cell service in the middle of nowhere on a deserted island? 📶🤔 Edited March 12, 2020 by alienboyva Quote Link to comment

alienboyva Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) ⚠️ This seems to happen with every big Switch game noways just before release, so it's pretty much a given at this point. I know there isn't much you can spoil about AC (especially when official guides release), but if you prefer not to know about things, like certain items, things you get after you've built-up your island, etc., as the tweet says, BE CAUTIOUS! If you post anything late-game related here that we don't already know about please use spoilers, until we've reached the point where most people have reached the late-game. *This mostly goes for big things. Though, as for smaller things, please use you're own judgment* - Thanks! Edited March 13, 2020 by alienboyva Quote Link to comment
Fuzzer1 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Are there any guides for the game available on Amazon right now? Just curious. Quote Link to comment
