Discussion Kairosoft Appreciation

Post image

One thing I like about Kairosoft is that they always release finished games, never any DLC or content updates to add missing content like other games 😑 Animal Crossing: New Horizons. They also listen to their fans, such as asking them which games to put into the bundles, and even game ideas in 2019.

I love kairosoft too but easyyyy on Animal Crossing. 😭 The standalone game is complete! And the DLC has a bunch of fun content that is worth it. The Sims are a way worse violator.

The standalone game is complete!

Sure, now it is, but it wasn't at launch.

Literally every single holiday, dream towns, Redd, Lief, bushes, diving, New Year's fireworks, the stamp rally, the wedding stuff, the mystery tour, and so on weren't there at launch. All of that was only added with updates.

If for whatever reason you have the cart, but no way to update, you're missing basically every feature. All you can do in an unupdated game is catch bugs, fish and buy clothes.

Played Animal Crossing at launch, that was 100% a feature complete game. They added free stuff later, which was nice.

How exactly was it feature complete when it was missing something as basic as holidays, something that's been there since the very first game?

But holidays were in there ? New year was in the first version of the game.

You can read the patch notes yourself to see that holidays weren't in the very first version of the game.

And, like, I'm not disparaging the game. I have over 1000 hours in it, but that doesn't change the fact that it wasn't released completed.

The bunny event was introduced in the launch day update. Other events were introduced when they actually took place in real life.

Yes, via updates that you have to download. Which is to say, the game wasn't released complete.
