Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

not available outside of Aus yet? read some write-ups yesterday, kind of not bothered about a reduced AC, especially in freemium format tbh

you really get the freemium vibe when things which normally take three minutes (getting furniture made) start to take 10 hours. other than that it feels completely nintendo, right down to the pointless super-slow dialogue bubbles you have to step through 500 times a day, and the inexplicable nature of the tasks (e.g. an npc asks you to find one peach, you pull one off the tree that's right next to them, they lose their shit with glee and give you a heap of rewards).

i really don't understand it being available in just one country. it's not like this is a beta test, and they must have a pretty good sense of server demand. we were day one for pokemon go too for some reason, but game-breaking server issues didn't stop them rolling it out to more countries.

this is not in any way an interesting game

awww

:(

[first day] fuck i'm going to be playing this for nine hours a day!!!!

[several days later] playing about 20 mins a day, totally underwhelmed when I rustled up the leaf tickets that I earned for K.K. Slider's chair

animal snoozing: grind camp

Yeah this is a little disappointing. It takes the grindiest elements of the game and distills them so completely to their base essence that you're left thinking "why did I even like this game in the first place?"

Also the variety of bugs and fish seems ultra limited thus far. Will there ever be emperor beetles and sharks and things? Will it snow?

Add me tho if youse like.

the worst crime? can't get my animal friends to swear

and yet the first person i met was called “tits mcgee”
