Re: Nintendo And Oxford University Want To Know How Animal Crossing Players Are Doing Mentally

I stopped playing due to the music; it wasn't as cute and relaxing as in previous titles. Really wish there was an option to turn OFF the music. I think getting to play while just listening to the ocean waves and other sounds of the island would be way more relaxing.

Also the "daily grind" of running around foraging and collecting things felt too much like actual work, gave me anxiety.

Something I miss, from the original, is being able to ask villagers if they need help with anything. Just feels like trying to work your tail off to pay off the house mortgage, which yeah some of us are already doing that in real life; decorating the house doesn't make up for the fact that it's just work, not as fun as it used to be.

I didn't put more than 3 or 4 months into it after it came out. Then uninstalled it. Sadly it felt like a let down to me, when I loved all the other games in the series.
