I will totally dub random things as Wario in September on my channel if ya'll want.You, me andGuh-Huzzah! will be the only people ****ting up the thread with Warioware for a good two weeks.
Curious to see how the box office performance does for this film. I just hope this, Free Guy and Shang-Chi & the Legend of Ten Rings does well although this is hard to tell considering that we are still in the midst of the pandemic.
Godzilla vs. Kong, F9, and A Quiet Place: Part II: Are we a joke to you?
Twitter is a ****show.Just Twitter being Twitter. I wouldn't worry about it.
Now if it was up to me, that space would be used by thisSo, the school let's people buy out parking spots, and then customize them.
Whoever customized this one is especially based.
Damn, that must be a cool school you go to if they let you do that.So, the school let's people buy out parking spots, and then customize them.

You almost got me there ngl

I only go back in September.It feels weird to think that school is starting for me in just 5 days now.
I am not ready for senior-year math
My man over here with the FFVII Remake Part II Early Access.
Yeah, and it somehow runs really well on the Switch. I didn't even know they made a Switch version, but there are no downgrades to be seen
I'm doing the Chocobo side quest to get the Knights of the Round eidolon.
LET'S ****ING GOOOOOO
Yo dude, that's crazy, my copy on the Atari has Mickey Mouse:
I've got no issue with the "Free Content Update" formula; once you do what you can in one of those games, you can check out another while waiting for the next update to come out, and when it does come out, you can bounce back and check out what's new. It's great for encouraging one to look into their backlog or engage in other pursuits.
Simon was leaked, so that’s definitely the only reveal we’re getting.
I hate this. ****ing troll.
I admit, maybe I acted a bit touchy about that, I'm just tired how nowadays if you don't praise a game, you're called being a whiner and being made fun of and on the flipside if you say anything positive you're being called a shill. Feels like people nowadays don't realize you can like something while also criticize it (not directed at you personally, just in general).Just as a clarification, my earlier post was made to be a joke, I wasn't trying to stir anyone up or touch a nerve, so my apologies.
As for the rest of the post:
I have absolutely no issue with someone criticizing a game. I think it's good! Nothing is perfect, and things will only get better with constructive criticism. However, I will fully admit I disagree with the "New Leaf is better than New Horizons" argument, personally. A lot of New Leaf was restrictive, and clunky for me personally, and I definitely don't miss the Publics Works system at all. Things like Brewster were a neat novelty, but you experience all there is to do after two minutes. The mini games were fun, but again, nothing super noteworthy IMO.
As for New Horizons being unfinished? Yeah, I'm gonna have to disagree personally: It isn't that the game is unfinished IMO, it's that they changed priorities. HD development is waaaaaay more intensive than making a 3DS game, and everything as a result takes longer. Deadlines have to be made, so it most likely came down to this:
Port all of New Leaf's content, and run into the issue we did with City Folk where people complained the experience was too similar and felt like a port.
Or, try something new, and shift priorities over to expanded on customization and island personalization, which were by far the biggest complaints against New Leaf, as the OG Animal Crossing games had next to no way to make your town stand out outside your house. Creating your own, custom island with Public Works and patterns was a HUUUUUUGE part of NL, so the devs saw that and chose to make this the focus. This means that due to limits to how much you can do in so little time, not everything can just come over: Video game development is a long, hard, often thankless process, and sometimes, sacrifices have to be made to try new ideas.
As for "Why don't they just update it, then?" Well, the biggest issue comes down to:
Money.
See, Nintendo (so far) has kept all of these updates free. This severely limits how much effort and manpower they're going to put into a project, as, hey, people gotta get paid, and making free updates cannot sustain actual substantial content because of that. You're not gonna pay a huge team of devs to work on something that won't keep consistent revenue coming in.
As for Villager dialogue...Agree somewhat. Jocks feel horrible in this game: The yell about muscles and that's it. The other types, though? They...Feel about as good as they did in New Leaf. Heck, even when they visited you in NL, they barely said anything different: The dialogue was super limiting and repetitive.
EDIT: Oh, and buildings.
TBH they didn't get rid of their functionalities, they just...Streamlined them. Those shops functions still exist, it's just you can access them through quick menus now rather than being forced to go to a location. I personally view this as a QoL thing.
That all said...
It's all subjective! If you don't enjoy the game, then I'm sorry it isn't for you. I personally think it's the best one yet with some flaws and things that bug me (furniture sets are limited, a lot of annoying timegating, etc) but it doesn't ruin the experience for me personally.
To each their own, as they say.
That's where I personally disagree on. A lot of shops were relegated to being random visitors when you could properly unlock them previously, like Katrina and Leif. And there's no substitute for the police station still, something that simply tells you if you have a visitor in your town, something that very easily could've been done by Isabelle's PSAs. I'm all for QoL changes (crafting multiple things at once when?), really, but at least give us the option to have buildings, too. It helps making your town actually feel like a town. And as for the Roost, sure, you didn't spend a lot of time there, but it was nice to have. You got to meet the special villagers, like Resetti outside their normal roles. Was it important? Not at all, but it was nice to see and made the game feel more alive. It's the little things and they add up.
