I bought Animal Crossing for Gamecube. It dominated my life for a month and then I realized it wasn't fun anymore. I have no desire to play another one.

I get the draw but what KEEPS people playing this series?

Calming, great soundtracks, something different every day, various ways to design, challenges (the bug and fish catching), holiday events, and the characters.

Once I realized I could just keep fucking with the Gamecube's internal clock and thus didn't have to wait on stuff, it was over.

Once a friend was calling me and asking me to come chill. I was like "Dude at 6 o clock ____ happens in Animal Crossing." then he said what I should've already realized. "DUDE! Fuck that game! Come hang out!"

It's been many years since I've played Animal Crossing, but from what I remember the game actually penalizes you pretty heavily when you time travel. Every time I did it there would be weeds and junk everywhere and the town in general liked you a lot less.

Maybe Isabelle can be promoted to mayor, since she's obviously going to be a character that sticks around. Or Tortimer could return to the position.

Animal Crossings problem for me is that real-time calendar does the game a disservice. There isn't a whole lot to work towards, upgrading and designing your home doesn't offer any mechanical/utility upgrades, and once you do your item hunting for the day, you are basically just forced to wait til tomorrow for anything fun or new to happen. Contrasted with the Harvest Moon / Rune Factory / Stardew Valley Formula, where you are constantly working towards improving the engine of your success, and not gated by a real time calendar, Animal crossing comes off as terribly boring.

I'm surprised Pocket Camp failed as hard as it did, since the animal crossing formula is perfect for the mobile market of 'daily check in' games.

There was quite a bit to do in animal crossing. Just by having the debt and your house increase alone encouraged you to constantly fish and seek out money rocks, while the revolving door of your residents made you constantly try to keep in touch with them and get their picture before they leave. The end goals in most console ACs were significantly more multifaceted than in Pocket Camp

That's precisely it. Being mayor adds nothing to the game and Isabelle calls all the shots anyway.

Of course, however, I'm saying that compared to HM/RF/SV those handful of things you do in AC rarely even have a mechanical or utility relevance, so why keep coming back over real time weeks to do them? and I think that is Animal Crossing's main problem. It is a very unusual attempt at balancing the players attention and I honestly think it is a flaw.

You offer a very small selection of things to work towards (even in main series animal crossing), You make the rewards for accomplishing them primarily aesthetic, and then you gate the player from accomplishing them by using a real-time time system. But who knows, maybe this Switch entry will include more interconnection mechanics to add a little depth and make things more interesting.

Pocket Camp failed? They made tens of millions of dollars off of it last i checked

Also being mayor was a good but underdeveloped concept. It lets you have more control over the town. I heard theres also an ordinance that lets you play later (shops arent closed) and thats always a good thing for those of us constrained to certain schedules

New Leaf felt very soulless compared to the others for me. Everything lined up on a main street, very little character to that. The island was overpowered as a money mine. I'd like a second swing with the City Folk idea: have a much bigger city you can go to that already exists when you start the game with plenty of esoteric shops and such.

No not really. The main series games are more like harvest Moon with a larger focus on the towns & people and doing the odd jobs to pay off your debt.

Pocket Camp was like, you log in, shake trees, sell some crap because it doesn't all fit in your inventory, then leave. There was no real goal. You might argue that wasting time is the entire point of the game but I got more enjoyment just browsing the internet.

I hope they try again and maybe add a little more interactivity.
