Reviews are starting to come in. Looks like the only major complaints people have are that the tool durability is a bit too low.

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

Question that sorry if I've missed - is it known whether the additional users on a switch that make their homes on your island cut into the actual number of animals available to move in? I.E. if 5 of us are on one island, does that mean we will only have 5 animals move in? Thanks!

Yeah looks like only certain special NPCs aren't in the shipped vanilla version, and even they've already got posters of themselves you can buy once you scan them and make an in-game shrine for while you wait for them to arrive in an update.

Gyroids are what the bodies and souls of villagers who have passed on turn into.

No gyroids found on the island means it's a truly deserted one. No soul has ever stepped two feet on this soil before us.

Now nobody can say Nook is a colonizer.

Is there a way to organize the friend code doc by newest additions? It keeps being alphabetized which makes it difficult to track who I've added versus who has been added to the doc.

I dunno, seems reasonable to think they could be added. As of now the game doesn't even have online functionality for reviewers and all are pretty early in their towns. Even if they are currently NOT planned to be in the game, given the online nature they could be added pretty easily I'd think if there was an uproar?

no rover, no kappn, no resetti

tool durability sounds kind of annoying: there's no indication of when a tool is close to breaking, the first tier of tools' durability seems too low, and making higher level tools involves multiple steps of first crafting the basic tool and then crafting the next tier with the basic tool as an ingredient

I couldn't get into gyroids. I never found one that fit a look I was going for. I might have liked them in New Horizons if I could place then creepily outside just barely behind trees for Halloween during fall.

Did somebody say gang tag friend stamp? I would like a gang tag, please. I mean friend stamp.

One island per switch. If she has her own switch she can have her own island. You can add an account for her on your island and vice versa, meaning that you can have your own island and an extra house/character on your other partners switch. Kinda like having a dacha.

It sounds like the best option is to have our own copies and visit each other I think. Thank you!

If you scroll all the way to the right, it shows when people added themselves. I haven’t tried it myself, but you could try a ctrl+f “today’s date” to highlight the new ones that day

I wasn't making that part about people/reviewers talking about colonization up BTW:

quote:

But, let's be clear, it's also about claiming new lands and stripping them for resources in the pursuit of consumer goods, and leaving them destroyed and forgotten in your wake.

I may not be displacing a native people or anything like that, but it's still hard to wash off the politics of the frontier when I play. The idea of finding "unoccupied" land and taming it, turning it into an urban society, is so entangled with colonialism that it is impossible to unravel that knot. But the analogy to real-world, extractive colonialism gets much more pointed when it comes to New Horizons' two new mechanics: Nook Miles and crafting.

...

Using a Nook Miles Ticket to gather enough resources to say, build a few wooden tables, is the first time that Animal Crossing has felt violent to me. Because the Nook Miles ticket islands are essentially disposable—you're not going to face any repercussions from destroying all the rocks and cutting down all the trees—I would just go to these islands and demolish them. It felt purely mercenary; it became something I would do as I watched reality television, which is how I handle the boredom of most other chores. I would pick every flower, chop every tree, hit every rock, collect every bug and fish. Devastation laid in my wake. It was like a cutesy cartoon version of what happened as European explorers ventured out into Asia, Africa and the Americas. They took everything.

Wow they really reduced the rescue cost. In the Nintendo direct it took half your miles but in that review it only costs 100.

So Thursday at 9pm pst... Is it really 4 days away

Exploration is ill-advised.
Vice is extremely woke, in the 'rich white trust fund kids and probably rapists who act progressive to look trendy' definition of 'woke'.

Also def care about the abstract idea of colonisation and will run away fast when presented with real-world consequences

Accepted a whole bunch of friend requests just now. Looking forward to seeing all y'all's islands!

Also, IGN laid out a strategy for forcing a day change. Looks overcomplicated so I won't be doing it, but I can't say the temptation won't be there. IIRC, it took like a week to 10 days for everything in New Leaf to open up, right?

EDIT: a week IS 7 days

It's been awhile since I've played New Leaf, but yeah I think it took about a week.

The main negative I've seen in the reviews is that the first week of play is very slow while your island slowly opens up. That doesn't bother me to hear that as I've got all the time in the world, haha.
