Animal Crossing I finally got my first gaming console, a gamecube, after wanting to play Animal Crossing again for over a year now. I have given in and crossed over to the dark side of console gaming experience after ONLY playing PC games, and mostly just the Sims at that! Sooo... seeing as how Animal Crossing is a game where you do things like socialize with your neighbors and decorate your house... does anyone else here play it?
Nope, because I'm playing another game: The Waiting Game, and it seems like I wont be done with that until the GC comes out with more quality games and/or lower its price. So please, for my sake, post ALL you could about AC. Please!?
Nope, sorry. I don't play Animal Crossing other than the ocassional one at a Toys 'R' Us store. I contemplated buying a GCN just for it but decided that wouldn't be the best financial decision. When I manage to play it somewhere it's a really fun game. I like how the seasons change and there are many different things to keep one interested.
Right now in the game I've had fun watching the season change from fall to winter, the ground color and leaf colors change a little every day, and it's started SNOWING and I love that! What's funny is I saw in the little snippets of game they show at startup that they have fruit on the trees year-round, I can harvest my cherries in the snow, haha! Thanksgiving was funny, a character who was a Turkey was invited from out of town by our town Mayor... to be the main "guest" at our feast... and there was a big empty platter on a table with a knife and fork next to it being guarded by one of the town animals. I got to sneak and steal the knife and fork and bring them to the turkey for rewards! It's a very cute game.... I need to tear myself away from final fantasy a couple of times a week to play it!
I bought Zoo Tycoon and gave it to my granddaughters and had to buy them an expansion pack later. Michaela's favourite trick is to let animals out and let them eat the humans.
Hahahaha! I've played Zoo Tycoon too! Someone made a download for a Pikachu for an animal... that was cute... but very out of place with the other creatures... I heard that the penguins in Zoo Tycoon can attack any other animal in the zoo and win!
I play Animal Crossing. Im obssessed with it. Of course I end up time traveling alot when I've missed something I wanted to do......
Yes... I made the silly mistake of giving into temptation and going back in time one year to see what happened on your birthday... I wanted to see if I should change the birthday of my second character to a different date or if it would let two characters both get all the birthday features. It both of my characters got birthday cakes, but only one of them had a neighbor animal give them a present, so now I plan to change my second character's birthday to my grandmother's birthday instead of mine. I got back to the real date and my WHOLE TOWN was COVERED COMPLETELY in WEEDS! Every single bit of ground that I didn't already have stuff like fruit and furniture and paper laying around on had a WEED and it took me over an HOUR real time walking around and pulling each weed! So I'll never do THAT big a leap time travel again! But I will go back a little this week to catch myself up from the last day I was playing it.
I have been time traveling in my new town between dec. 24 and 25. it hasnt been any other day yet. I don't think you CAN change your birthday but w/e it'd be v cool
Now that Christmas has died down in real life I'm thinking of spending the rest of today catching up on Animal Crossing... time traveling back to Thanksgiving and playing through New Years just to get caught up with time in the game!! Of course, I won't play games the rest of the day till I've finished cleaning the HOUSE first... it'll be my motivation! :bunny:
hehe I HAD to play on Thanksgiving. I got all the harvest furniture and got a house rating of 'round....125,000. Course I missed Jingle on Christmas Eve between 8pm-midnightand I wanna see the fireworks New Years Eve this time. Last year my borther took the game with him so I couldnt lol
Well, since we're all lamenting lost opportunities, I might as well join in with an irrelevant rant of my own too. Ya see, I was planning on upgrading my rig, buying FFXI, installing it, downloading the monstrous patch and actually be in time to celebrate Christmas, Final Fantasy style, right? It didnt go thru, just like most other things in my life. So I ended up being the outsider watchng from... the outside again. It looked danged fine this year too. The festivities in game actually rivals some of those in the real world, but I missed it, so I'm now here venting about it. The End. Danged fine story writer I am too.
Keep up the story writing Oink! Well I'm slowly catching up towards Christmas in Animal Crossing land... I have my christmas trees up in the homes of both my characters in town, and I'm through the first week of December and surprised the ground STILL isn't covered in snow? But at least it seems the neighbor animals have stopped harassing me about putting up heaters too early... and the fishing tourney is over....
This question has been bugging me for a while now, so I'm gonna ask it once and for all: Is there an end to AC like in Harvest Moon, or is this game eternal? I hate games that end after only 50 hours or so. I am in dire need of a game like SC and The Sims that I can lose myself completely in for as long as I like.
... I knew that. The question's still unanswered though. Has anybody played AC long enough to see the ending, if there actually is one?
Terchnically there is NOT an ending. You can complete paying off the loan at which case you have a statue but it keeps going on and on. I think it was that it had a 50 year span.
Ya know what? That just brought the biggest silly grin to my face. I can not take games that end after only a week or so real time. Especially a GOD of a game such as AC. On a completely irrelevant note; how could I have forgotten about Metal Gear Soild: The Twin Snakes coming out for the GC this year!? There's more than enough reasons for me to wanna get the GC now. Long Live the Dreamcast by the way! I only hope my GC purchase doesnt turn out to be like my DC one, reguardless of however fond of it I still am.
Since I've been doing the time travel cheat, I checked it out... and you can go back in time to play though the late 90s and then into the future till the year 2030. So you can play through over 30 years!! It seems once you have a raffle at the end of the month that raffle is over forever, but other than that it seems you could just go back in time and play the same year over and over if you wanted to. Is that close enough to an eternal game for you?
