Animal Crossing: New Leaf

[LocoColt04]

This thread totally should have appeared by now. I cannot be the only grown ass man playing this game. Just a thought.

So my time between work and socializing to actually play is a little sparse, but I've done some of the multiplayer events with friends online and locally. The island with all the minigames and medals, the contests, etc. I've seen a couple of little mentions here and there around the board while I successfully lurk the trout out of everything, but let's all fess up:

Who else is playing ACNL?

And then let's talk about it, because this game is seriously the cocaine of games.

I will if you buy me it.

[LocoColt04]

This can be arranged. I've already purchased three copies. :3

[Freya]

WHY? xD And i'll love you forever if you gimme it :3

[LocoColt04]

Obviously one for me, and then one for my sister, and then one for a friend who had just bought a 3DS and had no games... and now you!~

So, in the new ACNL you get to play the Mayor. Tortimer's not dead though, so don't be all morbid about it. The game still sets you through the paces and makes you run the gauntlet, but there are so many more things open right from the very beginning. I'm absolutely adoring it so far, but I'm stubborn and refuse to "time travel" in order to get ahead. Fortunately, I have many friends who have no shame, and are already weeks ahead in the game. It's useful, because I've been able to access all kinds of things through them already! The multiplayer minigames are fun too - you get a whole island to ship off to and play together, fetching medals for successful outings together, and giving you unique items obtainable only from there. It's definitely a little different, but I love it. Can't wait to unlock KK's club.


edit: Ugh, I just realized that's $140 in copies of this single game. :3

YOU DID IT! I WAS JUST JOKING! YAY ACNL!

[Agent Proto]

I'm thinking of getting this game soon! I guess you can blame Tumblr and Villager's appearance in the new Smash Bros for this.

I named my town Lindblum

I actually have bought it as well, but I haven't played it yet. I accidentally had it shipped from Amazon to my parent's house. I'm grabbing it this weekend though, and it shall be glorious.

I dont like that I can't do anything at 2 am in the morning Come one AC i'm a night owl!

[LocoColt04]

One of the things you can do once you earn your mayor's permit is issue an ordinance to make the town lively at night! I just did that tonight, and it'll go into effect tomorrow. Shops will be open later, villagers will be more active later, etc. Put a little daylight in and you'll be there in no time!

[Freya]

Do I have to wait til time passes cause i'm out of things to do in my town! No more oranges to sell! No fishies biting! And I have to wait til tomorrow for my house to be built :/

[~*~Celes~*~]

My husband and I both want this

[Nicolas]

This game is thoroughly addicting and hard to put down. It was worth every penny. Now time to build up my town and make is sparkle... I mean, awesome. Yeah, awesome.

I do enjoy the fact that you can visit other players' towns and do all the same stuff you would do by yourself, like fish, dig, and catch bugs. Just seeing the differences in the towns is great.

Been playing my copy nearly every day since Launch. Initially, I started to build up my town and house like crazy, but now I am taking it easy doing other random stuff around town. Vastly improved over the other titles.
