@LavaTwilight I'm grateful animal crossing was released at that time and it is interesting looking at how big of deal it became with most of the public. It really had its community population bloom and I think it really helped a lot of people connect and cope with the terrible time everyone was having. I think looking back it's kinda amazing at how everyone was playing and helping each other out. People we're helping each other get recipes, fruit, furniture, etc. I think the only comparable thing would be how Pokémon go took over everyone for a good while. It's rare for games to have that kind effect.
@catabyte Dang, that makes my 600 hours feel like rookie numbers. I still have my og island but I don't touch it unless I need to grab some of nmt for my new island on my oled. The freedom for creative decorating definitely makes it so you can revamp your island in an endless variety of themes. I picked it back up recently because I was craving the unique relaxed game play that other games couldn't quite satisfy. Farming Sims weren't relaxed enough and for some reason hokko life wasn't the perfect fit for my mood and then I remembered animal crossing. That's what I was wanting to play. Also kudos for almost being done collecting gyroids...I'm impressed! I'm not even close..
I was playing just last night but it's because I recently started a new island. Playing the game now from the start feels like a more complete animal crossing experience. Now that most of the missing content was put back it gives me more to do daily. It was really janky having to wait months and months for features to be put back and made it a stop and go experience. You picked it up when something was returned and then stopped & waited until the next update. Your island would go for periods of time of abandonment which would make you feel bad when you played again. Imo animal crossing is meant to be something you play a bit everyday but it didn't feel like that launch. I've got about 600 hours in so I did enjoy it.
More games for me to enjoy. I just hope people would judge games as their own experience and not just "how much it's like stardew valley". And then getting upset when its too similar or not similar enough. I personally don't love to play SV but think the creator is awesome. Especially since SV is also another game created by inspiration from another title it's silly to get upset at other games for being created from the same inspiration. Ofcourse quality over quantity is important. Different types of experiences will be more fun for some people than others so it's a good thing to have variety.
