GAF, sell me on Animal Crossing!

Same saw the thread title and thought of this immediately! Did anyone ever say this was fact or fiction? I remember seeing it awhile ago now with a daughter of my own it chokes me up thinking about this. It also gave me a awesome idea of something I can do for my baby girl. Sorry to derail I think I'm picking up the 3DS game as well never played any of them and seems kind of fun. Do I get to decorate inside and outside the house?

I remember reading it was fiction, but no real confirmation. Regardless, it hits home for me because my mom used to literally give me random things because she thought I would like it, especially when I went away to College. She passed away 5 months before I graduated and I soon realized that stuff should have meant a lot more to me and I had thrown it all out. Seeing it for the first time killed me and it still gets me all choked up.

Now I'm at work all glassy eyed. Stupid Animal Crossing.
 
The carrot didn't entice me, but this sums up my feelings about the game nicely.

This gif always get me ;_;
And now I feel bad for disliking it.
 
yeah. If he wants to be sold though I guess he only wants positive comments? Well, in case not...

My experience with Animal Crossing 1 was enough for me to call the series the worst series of games I've ever "played":

When I first heard about the game, I didn't really think it'd be a chore simulator. I thought it'd be like, you know, you have to manage your life, and if you do poorly at it you'd die. Instead, I was subjected to the most torturous gaming experience of my life.

Dropped off in my new town, I was told I was now to pay off some debt to this fucking guy. Ok, that's cool. Apparently though the fact that I am in debt means I must suffer a lifetime of endless torture, because the town was a dead world with no real means of entertainment, so I was stuck into an endless bitter cycle of horrific fishing mini-game after garbage fossil digging mini-game after awful bug catching mini-game. It was like living in North Korea. All of these mini-games played worse than 99% of the freeware shit on Newgrounds, but that was just the start. The rest of the game was me going up to an Animal, pressing A to get some item, and then wandering to the other side of town, pressing A at the other animal to deliver said item. It's one big ponzi scheme, because the only real goal is to get yourself deeper in debt by buying more items or making your house larger so you can fill it with all the useless detritus the villagers pawn off on you for doing their shitty fetch/deliver quests.

And the game is an asshole. Potentially one of the biggest asshole games of all time. Let me elaborate.

Nintendo put in some option to write letters to the animals. Why? What is the point of this? I'll tell you what the point of it is. Somewhere there is some poor little tard child with no friends playing Animal Crossing, and he's writing letters. Dude is putting real effort into his letters too. "DEAR MR. PIG, I REALLY LOVE THE FLAVOR CHOCOLATE. I AM SENDING YOU A PEACH SO YOU'LL BE MY FRIEND. MY DAD HITS ME SOMETIMES AND MY MOM DRINKS AN AWFUL LOT, SO YOU'LL BE MY SPECIAL FRIEND AND PROTECT ME." And the animal will send back something like "I LOVE THE SKY. BALLOONS ARE COOL. I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER, HERE IS A RUG. <rug attached>"

What the poor kid didn't realize was that he could have wrote "DEAR FUCK YOURSELF, $*#&**SJSJSSJKA" and the animal would have still responded with this fuckin' rug, because the animal A.I. is the worst garbage shit ever conceived.

And why did my stupid fuckin' gullible ass stick with it long enough to allow myself to be tortured with this non-game crap? Because Nintendo put a fuckin' carrot at the end of the stick. Oh yeah. They said 'you know how we're always so cheap? Well, we're feeling generous. On Animal Crossing, we have released a set of classic NES titles. Oh yeah, you heard that right! The catch? You have to spend potentially hundreds of hours doing horrendous, tedious, lobotomy-worthy activities in order to get them all!" So I spent those damned hours, I did my time, and it was like what I imagine getting ass raped with a gigantic AIDS-infected spiked dildo would feel like.

Looks like someone has some childhood problems...
