Animal Crossing: New Horizons Player Commits To Two Whole Weeks Of Non-Stop Livestreaming

So when his villager sleeps he sleeps I hope. 336 hours of fishing seems horrifying.

Thats a hell of alot of fishing, bug catching and chopping wood. No thanks. 2 hours is my max

This sound so dull, I doubt I would want to watch this idiot play for five mins, let alone two whole weeks.

Good luck to him, and a good publicity stunt I guess – but seriously, that does not sound like an interesting watch – It would be far better for his viewers to just play the game themselves and youtube specific things along the way.

I just watched a few videos to see the limits of terraforming, specifically to see if caves and tunnels were possible. So stuff like that is good to watch – but this. No thanks mate.

That sounds dangerous, I hope he knows what he's doing.

@Incarna I went all in for 4 days (and all in for me means it shows I've played 35+ hours) and I haven't played more than 20 mins since. Just sold it on ebay. It's a lovely game, but once I realized the hours upon hours to put into it, I lost interest. I'm more of a "small samples" for enjoyment kind of guy. A Mario Kart race. A couple Smash battles. I couple rounds of Splatoon 2.

@Incarna that's how I've been playing though my mini-sessions usually last 2-3 hours

I don't l really don't understand twitch. And I really don't understand wanting to watch him play animal crossing? Two weeks?

@SkullDragr I can totally understand burning out after playing that much in 4 days. Animal Crossing games are best played in 30-60 minute sessions in my opinion.

I know some people play them longer, but I have fun just popping in for a bit every day. I’ve already played my hour today, so now I’m off to other things.

@nimnio oh wow, is that it? I wasn't aware there were recommended or even required ways to devote time to a game. Thank you for that, Mr. Game Master, thank you. I feel so enlightened today. May I list all my games so you can educate me on how to play which one?

Playing video games for one week Nonstop can be very dangerous.

@SkullDragr
Wasn't he agreeing with you? I took his statement to mean he can absolutely see how you could burn out on Animal Crossing binging it for a week. Yes it was designed for shorter sessions as evidenced by certain things only happening at certain real-world time. If you play non-stop, you're stuck doing filler activities while you wait for different fish or bugs to spawn; for flowers to cross pollinate, fossils to spawn, or fruit to bloom. Acknowledging that developers make games with a vision of how it's intended to be played is not logically equivalent to telling you how you personally are allowed to enjoy the game.

I think this game is best to be played in short bursts, it would really get tiring and probably annoying if I tried to play it like that.

Depending on what I am doing in the game, I can easily play for 4 or 5 hours in one session. Last weekend I spent like 7 hours in one go after I unlocked terraforming. There's a lot more than bug catching and fishing to do. I imagine this person will be visiting islands, making custom designs and doing some serious, high detail work, on his island.

My concern is - leaving the Switch on, all day, every day, for two straight weeks. That doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Even if he takes short breaks to restart the Switch once a day, running the thing constantly like that would worry me.

that’s at least a C+

I'd be lucky to hit an hour of time a day let alone weeks. Must be torture watching some random guy play.
