Animal Crossing New Horizons (Player list in OP)

RedRochey · 22-03-2020 10:05pm

Played this game on gamecube years and years ago, seeing again now got me all nostalgic so I went ahead and ordered the console

Hopefully it'll be here before next weekend!

ShaneU · 22-03-2020 10:41pm

Had a party on my island today, about 6 people. Annoying how long it takes for players to arrive

Sephiroth_dude · 23-03-2020 7:55am

Not sure what to make of the game being honest, I paid the loan and then took out a mortgage lol...are you only suppose to play it in short bursts? The fishing is annoying they always get away from me ☹️.

RobbingBandit · 23-03-2020 8:00am

As soon as the drop happens fishing press the button you usually get 3 or 4 bobs but sometimes it'll drop on the first bob it's a series long system if this is your first Animal Crossing it will take practice if you have the ds or 3ds version try them out for practice on fishing once you get the hang of it go shark hunting

No they're additional residents on your island not separate players with their own island

I dunno that doesn't sound right, if I have 2 separate users on one switch and start the game separately surely everyone has their own game?

What have I gotten myself into, what is this... I don't get it.

This is EXACTLY how I felt when I bought new leaf on the 3ds. I bought it because everyone was going on about it and I never got into it.
Since then I've gotten into stardew valley and similar games and finally "got it" so decided to buy this and I'm enjoying it, as are my family which has turned into a problem as we only have one copy of the game purchased.
As I type my missus is in bed playing her 3rd day and has paid off her second mortgage and has the upgraded house while I browse the internet with my tent :mad:.

You can ignore the loan completely. Only pay it off when you want the next (bigger) house.

Yeah it's meh for me, after an hour or more I've just gave up, the character noises are grating and it's an ugly game, apart from the 3 Toms is it? They're cute, the majority of human characters are nightmarish with weird eyes and faces. I'm not hating, fair enough if you like this and yes I know it's for kids I just wanted to see why my age and even 40 year olds are going mad about it too... guess it's "you need to have played it as a kid like Mario and Zelda" Onto Adverts it goes now haha.

Youd probably get good money from cex. It definitely isnt for everyone as I learned myself so dont feel bad about it. I will say maybe try give it a few more days and put in a bit more time because it is actually very enjoyable when you get into.

RobbingBandit · 23-03-2020 12:16pm

Anyone wants to help out if you are able to craft the better tools and go visiting a friend donate some spares and bring a ladder for them too if they're not that far yet

Banjo · 23-03-2020 12:24pm

LADDER!!!!:eek: I just got the pole, thought I was the fanciest dandy in the village. Clearly not!

I take it you need the online sub to visit another player's island?

Back in the day when I was a kid with 3 games a year I'd be willing to give it a few days but not in this day and age, there are far to many more enjoyable things to be doing if ya get me.

I would have thought the bevy of tools in the Nook shop would be enough

Have set up my island to receive it's three new guests (hopefully the three I met while travelling). The game is ON!

holly_johnson · 23-03-2020 3:56pm

My friend code is 5977-8954-4666 if anyone wants to add me? My first time playing Animal Crossing & I’m having a blast I have to say!

Yes it's the three you met while you are waiting for them to move in there won't be anyone else on any other islands you go to until they've moved in

Banjo · 23-03-2020 4:56pm

Loving the Dodo's top-gun way of talking Animal Crossing. "Go catch some bees and chop some trees!"
I feel the need
the need
to weed!

I only sussed that after the second person, I thought "huh, I wonder if these are my prospective islanders". Was going to hold on and not talk to them until I saw a cat villager (every time I've played Animal Crossing in the past, I've had a cat) but then a WIDDLE DUCK IN A HAT APPEARED AND I COULDN'T STAY AWAY!!

I've forgotten who the first was but my second villager is a lion that speaks like a 3 year old. Pasgetti instead of Spaghetti etc.

Their little flappy logo is great during the load screen. The redundancy with them is so funny, "we are leaving November Oscar Whiskey".

rumplyconch · 23-03-2020 6:18pm

Hi guys,
Got the game yesterday for Mothers Day!! Have played all the others so know I'm going to be addicted in no time!!! Would love to do some island hopping to share fruit etc.
My FC is: SW-4622-4628-7988

Looking forward to welcoming you to Ile de Gil!!

RobbingBandit · 23-03-2020 6:22pm

I want Blue Bear Olivia and Stitches they are my favourite three would love Bob the cat too.

rumplyconch · 23-03-2020 7:04pm

I ran into Gala this morn on my first flight! She's one of my faves (well, all the pigs are!!) And Meringue n Tia are on my wishlist too, hoping they are in this game!!

breakfast roll · 23-03-2020 7:34pm

Omg I've just realised I can sell items in a group instead of individually. I've just spent the last 4 days clicking each item to sell one by one.

Banjo · 23-03-2020 7:36pm

If you're eating fruit, you can dig a whole tree up.and plant it somewhere else! I just took 3 coconut trees, fruit n all, off the beach of a random island, planted them and then shook em to plant another 6 coconuts trees! Whoooop

Edit : note, they don't stack.

nintendoo · 23-03-2020 9:17pm

Kids have managed to sort out the limited resource that is AC and one switch! So far ...

It's such a polished game, funny and charming. Cute as hell. All of the little bits make this game come to life.

My daughter says she likes games like this - games that don't end.

holly_johnson · 23-03-2020 9:19pm

Just popped on to the game to see what it’s like at nighttime. Spent a lovely half hour wishing on shooting stars! Just lovely.

RobbingBandit · 23-03-2020 9:27pm

Hope you wished that crook death all our homes go into probate then

Been attacked by the tarantula two nights running.

Haven’t found one of them yet thankfully. I’m terrified of spiders!

Gyan84 · 23-03-2020 9:39pm

Enjoying this so far. Have my first house, better tools and expanded storage space already. Had 2 animals that said they wanted to come to my island but neither have showed up yet ? Do I have to finish building the museum/shop first ?

Was playing last night when something the size of a small terrier shot out from behind a tree and knocked me out. It was a tarantula that I don't think I'll ever be fast enough to catch one.

RobbingBandit wrote: »

Met the traveler on the beach this isn't lilliput ya drunk

Did you figure out what he wants ? He told me to search the beach but I found nothing and today he wasn't there.

Banjo · 23-03-2020 9:49pm

You're looking for these little holes that spit water. You need a shovel.
Some of them are shellfish that you can use to craft bait, some are what he wants.

I thought those were just the graphics for rain hitting the sand

. Haven't had a chance to notice they weren't since it never stops raining on my island.

Also of course after my last post I manage to sneak up on a tarantula and completely miss-time my net swing and get knocked out by it

RobbingBandit · 23-03-2020 10:59pm

Talk to Nook about anyone moving in he's the boss give blathers one assessed fossil then sell the rest craft them weeds in fact craft everything you can as you get more for selling DIY items than raw materials.

Plant your native fruit or bring it to friends islands and check the beach for bottles very valuable stuff inside.

RobbingBandit · 23-03-2020 11:03pm

The bugs are very realistic this time like blathers they creep me out

nintendoo · 23-03-2020 11:16pm

So, long term AC players, is this the best version ?

AMGer · 23-03-2020 11:49pm

Just realised this evening. You can actually catch the Wasps that attack you when you knock a hive from a tree! You have to have your net ready though, and act quickly.

RobbingBandit · 23-03-2020 11:52pm

If you get stung by two nests you faint you do get miles for it though

SMC92Ian · 24-03-2020 12:05am

Is this in real time or is it like Minecraft or Sims with sped up days? Not sure yet.

Banjo · 24-03-2020 12:26am

It's real time but you can turn off your switch's network time.sync and timetravel that way if you needed to

I found a load of sea shells during the night and left them outside my daughters tent for when she was playing. She was delighted to find them. Feels nice playing something as positive as this for a change.

Gyan84 · 24-03-2020 1:25am

It only took two more knockouts but I finally caught a tarantuala :pac:

The trick is when you get close it spins around and stands on its hind legs. If you stand still while it does that it goes back to its idle animation instead of going full sonic speed hell demon.

Yeah I'm still trying to find one, as soon as one appears it ms gone in seconds!

Did the same, now have a beach full of coconut trees

the fruit is a double-edged sword though, can shatter rocks (though they do grow back... somehow).

What other fruit trees are there do you know? I've got pears but I've heard people talk about cherries as well.

RobbingBandit · 24-03-2020 10:00am

Cherry apple orange peach and pear are the five island availability all with a possible perfect variation coconuts are the dodo flight island fruit I'm assuming there are others too but the five listed are what you can potentially start with

rumplyconch · 24-03-2020 10:18am

I've got cherries as my native n Mom sent me apples. Dug up a few coconut trees too.

Did anyone meet Wisp yet? Got him last night while tarantula hunting! You scare him n he loses 5 pieces of his spirit. Track them down n he gives you a prize!! Cutie

Banjo · 24-03-2020 10:37am

I met him last night too. Got a neat pair of slatted 80s shades for my trouble, which cover up the bruising and swelling caused by the wasps that Nook insists were acting independently and of their own volition.
I owe that crook nearly 200,000 bells. I'm in deep....

My mam sent me Pears but the trees aren't up yet. Will look at an online sub then and get some fruit trading going on

Osmosis Jones · 24-03-2020 3:50pm

Making Blathers tell me all the facts about bugs and never letting him tell me about fish or fossils.
