I haven't played this in about a week and it feels weird. I played New Leaf for a couple of years every single day. Have I changed? I wonder if the terraforming feature was too big, too easy and opened too soon. Because it's so powerful, I could change my island and turn it from a generic AC island to something more special in the space of about a week... but then there was a loss of momentum afterwards because that was such a huge burst of activity. I don't know. It's a lovely game with some really nice features but I'm just surprised I'm not playing it all the time.

I think circumstances caused a large part of that, if I was at work I’d be playing an hour or two a day, rather than 5 or 6.
I’m glad though, none of the games in my unplayed pile would have filled a hole in the way that ACNH did, and I think the crazy sales figures tend to suggest that the rest of the world agrees..
Now I’m down to my daily chores, I might give FF7 or LoU2 a go..

It's actually made me realise how little I played New Leaf.
I remember how it was with the GC game, and doing an hour at most covered what was needed. On the weekend you might be on for a little longer.
I crossed 800 hours on NH this week. Just unheard of.
Thankfully I have a few more ideas as to how to decorate my island, so it won't be getting stale any time soon.

Yeah, I have a feeling that what you're both saying might be a factor for me. At the start, there really was so much to do. And then when terraforming becomes available, that amount multiplies massively. And there is still lots to do in the game, it's not a shortage of that at all, but putting so much time into it up front maybe just meant I couldn't keep up that pace. Whereas I feel with New Leaf, the progression and amount of activities was smaller and slower, even more drip fed, and the end result was that I settled into a steady daily rhythm.
I also feel that, by making some things easier or done in your house, like changing your hair for example or even crafting, it takes away a little from those nice little trips around town, from Reese's store to Harriet's, seeing what's in Kicks, having a coffee at Brewster's.

On a similar topic I have more nut bearing trees than cone bearing ones so I planted ten pines last night to have more to harvest from, and ended up getting the second award for tree planting. Turns out all the tress I have are either planted fruit or money so it turns out I hadn't planted that many actual trees it would seem!

Originally posted by Briareos View PostWait a second, I need some clarity on that. Do you mean if I keep shaking a tree that gives me nothing I might still get a nut? Or is it trees that are dropping sticks if I keep shaking may drop a nut? Lastly if I find a tree that drops a nut can it drop multiple nuts if I keep shaking it?
