I think this one (which I completely agree with): http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=88473914&postcount=3
EDIT: lmao, PigSpeakers kept quoting his post
Actually, Animal Crossing would make a great F2P game. The series isn't worth paying money for, after all.

real talk: New Leaf has resonated with me on an emotional and amusing level far more than Bioshock Infinite did

In being a boring piece of shit? At last, we agree.

The worst game franchise is obviously Sonic the Hedgehog. There hasn't been a good game in like 19 years and all the fans are furry creepers.

Finally, some fucking real talk.
ugh Sonic fans. How can they like that stupid franchise anymore?! All the new games are all about weird Sonic recolors and human x hedgehog bestiality stories. The games should've stopped after Sonic 2!
I don't think very highly of AC, but I can still believe that.
But it's so relaaaxing man
Nevermind that there's nothing to do in it that isn't a few brain-dead, boring, repetitive, bare-bones tasks with a heaping helping of unnecessary, repeating dialogue, a limited inventory and a clumsy interface.
But if you keep grinding and waiting for weeks you can make your town prettier!

"I enjoy Animal Crossing."
"BUT HERE'S WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT: -list-"
"...I enjoy it anyway."
guess who wins this argument

On the real though, Animal Crossing is Farmville made by Nintendo.
Yep...

Didn't Unleashed have the biggest budget of the most recent Sonic games? Isn't that why the presentation all around (in-game and out; marketing, Hedgehog Engine, soundtrack, Night of the Werehog, etc.) is so much more... ambitious and polished than the games after it? I've had this thought a lot recently, but I know I read it from somewhere, I just don't remember--NOPE, Found it before I even finished this post. It was from Wentos, the 4chan insider. He said Unleashed cost more than all the Dreamcast games' combined (halfway down the thread, the picture with Sonic and Shadow w/ Chao), and spoke on the WiiS2 version in his next post.
I mean, it just makes sense. They went all out for Unleashed in a way they haven't done (and in a way, haven't needed to do) since.

Pouring all that money in only for the majority of it to swirl down the Werehog sink hole.

They're almost exactly the same, though.
I'm legitimately going to make a thread asking why Animal Crossing isn't a F2P game when I get home from work tonight. Count on it.

There was no original question posed; there was "yo Animal Crossing is -insert hyperbolic nonsense here-", and the platform of discussion was limited (boils down to "play more games" and/or "formulate opinions better", basically) so I don't want to properly engage with it, honestly.
I was just making an observation on how conversations about whether Animal Crossing is "bad" because it just ends up in the same loop. Yet people still want to go out of their way to "correct" people's opinions about the series, unaware that (irony warning!) they're wasting their own time by doing so because the people that are gonna play are gonna play regardless.
Consider this a challenge, JC. I dare you to post a proper critical evaluation of your experience with those games. I know you have it in you, you've let your guard down lately and we all know how articulate you can be. In the meantime, I'm going to go and play Ace Attorney, and then write some stuff about that tomorrow; likely not resorting to lazy superlatives whilst doing so.

What a damn shame.
If only the Werehog was Knuckles...
If only it was Sonic and Knuckles 2.
It probably would have been just as problematic, but I want to believe it would have magically been a better game.
Nocturnowl

Stretchy armed Knuckles wandering through 20 minute long levels with sloppy boring combat and stiff shadowless platforming? yeah I think it would still be pretty bad.
Meccanical

By the virtue of it being Knuckles instead of a werehog the gameplay design would have to change.
I'm not saying to copy paste him into the werehog role.
Nocturnowl

Well in that case we'd just want them to make more platforming stages surely.
Knuckles can fill the role if he wishes.
I know that feel, but now I keep thinking of the future. 'Throw money into the next big Sonic, but do it right now since they've got Colors and Generations under their belts!' But things have changed in 5 years. Can Sega afford to do that now? (On the flipside though, if they can buy Index...) Have sales of Sonic games been diminishing this gen? Do they still sell enough to justify it? Hell, if Sonic's one of the few non-digital/PC things that make them money, doesn't that justify it?
I don't need to think about these things, but I do :|

Tighten the pacing of the werehog gameplay and I think Unleashed would actually be my favourite 3D Sonic. Just need to speed him up a bit, cut back on the number of encounters and/or the enemy health and shorten the stages and it'd be a pretty decent platforming/beat 'em up thing that wouldn't really detract from the game.
Though yeah, the Knuckles thing would be better overall since the werehog is a pretty silly idea.

Got old after the first ten minutes for me.
I don't remember anything about the stages except the music, and even then the fucking batle theme would come in interrupting the goddamn track, when it would be far better to not have a battle theme at all, not saying the theme is bad, its good actually but when it comes own 50 GODDAMN TIMES throughout the level when you are trying to get your groove on,, its a little grating.
Dammit.
I don't expect to change anyone's mind about liking Animal Crossing any more than I do Sonic and the Secret Rings, but I'll continue to post my opinion of it where appropriate.
I also look forward to that thread tonight.

Sonic 06.
ah good answer. video game hell in its purist form
did someone mention sonic 06?
I just got into Animal Crossing with New Leaf... and I think it's pretty fun. It also has Majora's Mask in the game, so that's good enough for me. Not sure what to do now that I have it, though. I guess I could keep expanding my house until it can hold all of those special Nintendo items... then I think it's done. Somehow collecting those items is the most appealing part of the game for me, I'm not really into the whole "mayor of the city" aspect. I basically don't play for more than 30 minutes a day... farm bells, get my two fortune cookies/nintendo items a day, save and quit. Then onto Pokemon and Fire Emblem.
god damn 3DS is good.

You can change the rules of the city of the town that gives you a nice advantage.
Also at some point in the game, if you've donated enough of each type of item at the musuem, you can get a 2nd floor with your own exhibits.
I think they consider their holiday lineup to be:
-Pikmin 3
-Wonderful 101
-Rayman Origins
-Wind Waker HD
-Mario 3D World
-Wii Sports HD
-Wii Party U
-Wii Fit U
What people who matter really care about:
-Mario 3D World
It's going to be a rough holiday for them unless they drop a bomb on Black Friday: $250 Wii U with NSMBU/NSLU, and 3D World just chillin right there for everyone to pick up.
while PS4 and Xbone are already sold out

If I had my way, those things would be in every fighting game.
Even combat sport sims like Fight Night and UFC.
That or the freeze frame zoom ins from Def Jam FFNY.
