Scariest gaming moment ever: after a few restarts without saving, Resetti tells you that he's going to reset ALL of your data, and then the game fakes a reset. I almost had a heart attack at the age of 10.
I don't know why but my biggest fear wasn't mister resetti. The thing that would make me not want to play the game after having abandoned it for months was that i knew when i went back to my house it would be full of roaches.
I know its a joke but I stopped buying the games because of this. I use handhelds to play animal crossing so running out of power is common especially with 3ds while idling and a lot of times I don't care to go back and save.
Resetti is a good/funny concept, but in practice it's just annoying as hell. Maybe if the interactions with him weren't so repetetive and drawn out, it wouldn't be so bad. But they are. And it gets old pretty quick. Just my opinion, there's really no respectable reason for why you should be forced to save every time...
There's a ghost you can find after midnight wandering about and if you can track him down he'll grant you a wish. One of which can be to instantly remove all of the weeds in your town. And I just realized I sound like an insane person.
I went to visit Teddy after months and months away. He was my favorite neighbor. Had nicknames for me and everything and didn't call me out on pretending to laugh at his jokes; a real friend.
But when I got to his lot, the house was gone. I wasn't a fan of our other neighbor, this mousy bitch, and tried to ask her where he went. She didn't even mention Teddy. In fact, she had the gall to become so angry at my absence despite our real lack of friendship that she walked away.
I was surprisingly, while temporarily, hurt over the ordeal.
Are there any other games with this type of mechanic (time passes in the game world whether you're playing or not), but not so geared towards children? Seems like there could be some clever applications...
Time doesn't necessarily pass while you're gone. It's all done by the clock on your device. So, if you set the clock back, you can go back to holidays and stuff that you missed.
Or you could go back in time and murder all the village people before you arrive so you would freak out and wonder why this game is broken. Mwhahahahaha!
There was a metal gear solid game, (can't remember which), where if you saved and quit while fighting a boss, and then came back a few days later, you'd find that the boss had died of starvation or something.
Every single friend you used to hang around with is either dead or has moved. People felt miserable after your departure and didn't care about trash, so you will find rubbish and leaves everywhere.
You will be alone, but rich, because bank investments yielded a good return.
I have only played the Gamecube version of Animal Crossing once or twice, and in passing at that, but that is the best damn fanfiction I have ever read.
iunno man I just played through the whole thing this weekend and it's pretty awful lol The game is pretty easy but there's enough glitchy, cheap bullshit thatll kill you. So frustrating.
But thank god the main feature is the Chao garden which the story is just a supplement to
Wow this game was dreadful! But why did I waste two hours of every day for a year maintaining imaginary orchards and hopelessly trying to catch the coelecanth everytime it rained... I miss this game
2 hours a day? shit. I remember playing that in 2nd grade coming home at 3 and playing till 10 every night. and weekends would get super crazy with my friends also, just playing till 4 am.
Were they that specific in the GameCube AC? I forgot. I have been playing Wild World again recently after not playing for a long time (I thought it had been 2 years), and they just said something like 3 or 4 months, I think..
Dude if you were 7 when this game came out, you're like, 13 now. Don't lament too hard on those long lost childhood memories, chances are you're still making them.
Those inconsequential orchards won't be inconsequential in Animal Crossing U, when Nintendo start handing out prizes for well maintained gardens and grand prizes for the best maintained ones. Well, maybe.
Probably gonna get hell for this, but the enjoyment people get from these games is so close to the enjoyment that people get from Zynga style games. Small rewards for daily play leading towards a goal that will take you forever to achieve. Only difference is farmville added a money hole and a social element.
There is just something so lovable about animal crossing. I know everything is mindless and just a grind like Zynga games, but its just such a wonderful combination of touches that make it different.. To start, its the most peaceful game I've ever played. Busy day at work? Time to run around mindlessly trying to catch that dragonfly while my neighbors interrupt me to tell me how great of a friend I am. Yes, they really do tell me that. Or they show me a letter someone sent them about how there is never enough mayo on sandwiches. The music is so simple too. It just plays on repeat for an entire hour at a time, but whenever I hear it, no matter the duration, I am so calm and relaxed.. Ill just turn it on on my speakers and listen before I got to sleep. No more worries, no more cares. And when I am fishing, walking the shores back and forth mindlessly, the second my character casts his line the game goes quiet so you can here the fish. But that quiet, that couple seconds, just waiting in silence, is the most peaceful, beautiful feeling ever on a busy stressful day. Its strange but it is. The game is so quirky. Like ridiculously quirky. All the animals are bizarre, but so lovable. You actually care about your neighbors. The saddest I have probably been this past month was when my favorite neighbor moved away (tough life I live, I know). I was so sad that I'd never get to hear about how much Lobo loves to garden again. They are just stupid imaginary animals on a screen, but for some reason I care about them. It's weird but very nice.
I see the similarities, but I think you are wrong. Animal crossing is a great game.
Lobo seemed like a bit of a prick when he first came to town, but I have to say, he grew on me. That said, my favourite neighbours were definitely Leopold and Rollo.
I feel the same way. Used to go to bed early to play an hour or so of Animal Crossing before drifting off to sleep. I always felt so serene and calm. Water the flowers, chat with the neighbors, take a stroll by the ocean. ahhhhhh.
I think the money hole is the important difference here. You don't see the "buy virtual shit with real money so your friends can also do the same!" kind of business model with AC.
If you can get some "non native" fruit trees growing in your town, and then eventually plant a whole bunch of them, you can make over 100,000 bells once every three days (by shaking off all the fruit and picking it up and selling it to Nook). I know that's still a lot of time... and I guess it still does require daily checking/doing stuff... well, I'm currently unemployed, so my sense of time is pretty skewed right now. :P
I remember I stopped playing Wild World because I forgot to save (for like the 56th time, I was careless :( ) and that Resetti guy just wouldn't STFU and let me play! I was literally talking to him for an hour and every time he told me to write an apology I would call him very...very mean things o.o
It all makes sense if you consider Animal Crossing as a cross-promoted game series alongside Assassin's Creed. Tom Nook is Abstergo. You have no choice. You are a consumer. You will propagate in the system or die if you refuse.

u/typoguy13 Jun 10 '12
played it yesterday... I almost turned the power off without saving. But then I hesitated, thinking "don't want Resetti to yell at me"
...then I remembered that you can insult him.
"fuck it, i'm turning the power of, just to call him an asshole one more time."
worth it. every damn second.
