I knew about the 100ppp option, I just prefer 50ppp*
But I see your point, I'll set it to 100ppp now, then change it back to 50 when I'm a member!
*Mostly, I prefer how it doesn't make my computer blow up in gif-heavy threads.

I'm assuming the embargo lifts at 12 PM EST?

I think one thing to keep in mind with respect to the reviews for this particular game is that they're mostly going to be coming from a new generation of game reviewers, young folks who are perhaps experiencing the series for the first time. The concept is still going to bowl over folks who have never dipped into Animal Crossing before.
For the rest of us, though, we look at it, and yeah, it looks like...Animal Crossing. I'm looking forward to it because I'm bored and I've had enough of a break from AC to be ready for it again. I have to admit being exhausted by it, though, when City Folk released. It didn't do enough new and was just more of the same, really. I'm guessing that's what this essentially is (after the few new bells and whistles wear off), but again, I'm ready for it once more.
I'm wondering if this has pulled Brad away from DOTA at least a little bit. He seemed to be enthused about it on the Monday video.

Great reviews. Not that I care, I just knew ACNL is going to be awesome just for existing to improve on the series. :3

Lmao, you got a chuckle out of me at least. :3
What's this about? The game will not work in 30 years? What?
After 30 years the utopia falls apart, the bells become worthless, and the animals eat each other and the hellgate opens
The time stops going after 30 years?
That sounds right...
Time will end and unending darkness consumes your town and the only one left is Bob laughing maniacally.
It's when it gets to 2030 because that's the gamecube clock's limit. Dunno what the 3DS limit is.
I think 3DS' is 2099.
I'd say yes, most games get a thread.
I'm glad most of the reviews coming are very positive, it's been a trend with 3DS games as of late. I'm really excited for the multiplayer but I only have two of you so far. I'll try and go through the form when I'm on my PC.

This needs to hurry up and come out. It's falling at a perfect time for me just before a vacation. Now I just have to worry about my fiance not hogging the 3DS and the game for herself.
You'll give it to her. Yes. Yes you will.
Fantastic scores all around as expected. I agree with the EDGE review that this game's approach is a bit more like an "AC: Ultimate" than "AC:New Leaf." Nintendo has applied a ridiculous amount of polish to the original game's premise and has created the definitive AC experience.
Given the expectations of long time fans and the huge amount of content they've put into this title, Nintendo is going to have a tough task making a genuine "new leaf" AC game after this one. Having the player be mayor is a good step in introducing new gameplay features, and I think future AC games will have to continue to innovate in this fashion, introducing new gameplay columns rather than expanding the content base.

Not surprised by the scores. *chuckles* They could have all said it was shit and I would have bought it anyways though.

50ppp - because I don't like drowning in this thread anymore than I already do.

It's a good thing my girlfriend already has a 3DS or I'd never get to play.
It got 17/20 on jeuxvideo.com (french)
Cons :
-Friend codes
-Same gameplay as before
-Mostly playing for short time

Yeah. And it'll continue the way like Harvest Moon series did. Hopefully.
And then Nintendo will make a spinoff series called Rune Crossing...
Really looking forward to this since my cousin is going to get it at the same time. Friendly competition is the best.

He knew that I'm getting the ACNL Bundle before I did. :3 That's my precious husband for ya.
Which games did you register to get it? I got MH3U, FE:A and DKCR3D.
Can't wait for my free ACNL!

It's so unfair that we didn't get this for free <_<
We just got a back catalog...
The debt in the game will be like my real life debt of over 20,000 xD (that includes my car)

Sure will.
It makes the 8 months almost worth it. Almost.
Ah, thanks for making it.

Awesome thread.
She wanted the bundle too but then her laptop has been acting up and with money being a little tight we'd rather get her a new laptop since she already has a 3DS, though I wouldn't be against surprising her with one if there's any left down the road.
