>>43282269>npcs removedI miss them and want them back, but they aren’t in the game because their purposes have gone away due to new features. This is not dexit where less Pokémon were put in the game out of sheer laziness
>less furnitureFor the sake of streamlining DIY, which is, in my opinion, the biggest improvement to the series
>lack of eventsThese are only being added in updates so time travelers don’t spoil holidays (and it opens the door to change holiday events)
>tools constantly breakingPeople had the same complaint in BOTW. Breakable tools, or weapons, encourage the player to be constantly alert when using those tools. I thought it was bad in older animal crossings when you bought a tool and it just worked forever, I felt like I didn’t earn the use of that tool and crafting solves that.
I do not like the comparison of ACNH to SWSH at all. ACNH is polished and filled with new innovation and excellent game design. Is it a perfect game? No game ever was. Was it a waste of money? Hell no, I’ve played it every day since launch. However, I want my money back for every Pokémon game since sun and moon. None of those games lived up to their price tag like animal crossing does.
