New Leaf It was a mistake

There is a reason why I don't come back Animal Crossing games after I stopped playing it. But foolishly, I decided to violate that law last week. I regret it.

What Animal Crossing: New Leaf released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2013, I spent many hours building my own Tennant city. It was sometime in early 2015 when I came out from my beloved New Leaf Life, leaving some of my favorite local residents.

In Animal Crossing, the imitation life game continues to exist or not. Calendar days and dates pass in real time. The seasons change. Local residents about their business. Weeds are growing. Roosters live in your home. Whenever I decide to stop playing i Animal Crossing game, I don't want to go back in fear of the beginning of an animal decision to leave town because of my apathy. If you've played Animal Crossing game before, you'll know that this a a real concern.

As the internal days are at hand Animal Crossing: New Horizonpress release on the switch next month, I was eager to see Tennant again. I wanted to look at my badly built city before the new entry Animal Crossing experience. I can't remember all my citizens except for a few animals and my favorite hipster horse, Colton. And I can't remember what this place actually looks like. Five years is a long time when you fill your head with so much more. Or maybe it's better that I don't care enough about who lived Tennant when I left.

My animal friends, however, had not forgotten about me.

When I walked into the town, Colton was chewing on a mountain in the middle of our house, as he always did. In New Leaf, your character plays the role of mayor of the city. Colton allowed me to experience it when talking to him, teaching me the importance of saying the elected leader, softening the pace by shouting his joy at seeing me.

All other Tennant residents have reacted differently. Each blames the emotional accuracy of the surgery – cut me deep.

The animal talks were far from the only shocking revelations I received when I first visited Tennant.

Animal Crossing is a deeply human game. You set your own goals and benchmarks to measure success. Whether it's neglecting Tom Nook's home loan, expanding it around is great, or developing a space filled with your favorite animal friends. It is a slice of life, and, depending on how you play, is a heavenly slide. When I turned back five years, I had already cut my piece of heaven as if it were a hell of a hell.

In New Leaf, players were able to plant metals (Animal CrossingMoney) for building community service projects – organized pieces, such as a picnic area or bench, that can be built in a village. I had forgotten that I was setting up a zen garden outside the town hall. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I really liked the idea that it was a secret, but when I looked at it in 2020 … it just seemed out of place.

In fact, many of my design decisions around Tennant were pretty bad. No clear directions, it seemed. Public works projects are found illegally throughout the city. The brick roads I decided to sleep in throughout the city, wandering from house to house, seemed bad. Trees block the roads and I refuse to build around them. At the time, back in 2013 and in the months that followed, I thought I was doing a service for everyone.

My house, which I had spent hundreds of thousands of expanding metal on, did not look any better. I collected a lot of great things – Triforce, Better Sword, and more – and even though I put everything in good places my construction still looked cramped. I had forgotten that I was building an ice hole in the basement. My bedroom had furniture designed by Gracie on it, which is available Animal Crossing& # 39; S fashionista NPC. At least that looked good.

Little did I know when I visited Tennant again, I would have to go through the motions of listening to the animals mourn my disappearance. I didn't expect that I would be so shocked by the circumstances I left them. To be fair, I invested a lot of time and money with Tennant's growth outside of public works projects. It's not like I left them in a developed city.

In terms of preservation of culture, I have spent a lot of my time making sure that the city museum is filled with almost all kinds of insects and fish. The collection of dinosaur remains was complete – a product of my passionate digging and donation. I took every opportunity to have the museum curator, the Blights, identify the fossils to be displayed for all to see. The train station was good. The entire store was open for business and upgraded to a higher level of refinement. It was all due to my hard work and hard earned money.

Anyway, I wasn't happy with what my past has done. All of these experiences were very stressful, and for no real reason, except for that dreaded feeling of being an outwardly visual person. I loved Tennant and my physical life as I lived. I have many fond memories of my playing time New Leaf for about two years. But frankly, taking a nap in my past was not happy. It made me slow, and then I laughed, how bad some of my decisions were.

What was I thinking ?! Probably not more than the amount of fun I had at the time. Thinking about it now, having seen my wicked city in 2020, I can't help but be amused. As it turned out, I was a mayor who lost and didn't have a plan to meet even though I had good intentions.

I'm looking forward Crossing the Animals: New Horizons. Personally, I'm ready to jump on a life simulator with the much-needed mental break from real life stress. Throwing a seafront line? Yes please. Stretching the river crosses the river like a daredevil? It looks fantastic! The power of the exterior decor looks great, but I'm a little worried. I mean, sure, I'd try not to sketch things out of this, but looking back is 20/20, as they say.

Sometimes, it is better to leave the good memories of the past. After playing well, here's hoping I don't repeat my mistake of trying to figure out what to do with my island home a few years from now. Because no matter what has passed Animal Crossing come in trying to cope, it's always better to start a new one.
