Animal Crossing OMG

[tacoX]

I just rented that game... and its such a great game. Its soo much fun just to play and get shit! I played for like 3 hours last night.

Does anyone else like this game/interasted about it?

[Jamesadin]

I rented it, and it was pretty fun.

[BlueCube]

I have it. It's great!

BTW... there's a new code for Donkey Kong 3..

www.animal-crossing.com

You have to input your game character's name / town. There's a flash banner there that you have to click on a few times.. but you'll find it pretty fast.

I still play it, and I've had it for.. let's see.. 2 months. I usually only play an hour or two a day, though.

[Randuin]

what is this game about? crossing humans with animals?

[BlueCube]

Nah, you buy a house, furnish it, talk to the neighbors (all animals), pay off your mortage, go fishing, dig up fossils..

It's like the Sims, I guess, but a lot better. (And there is no Bladder Meter)

Though, you can just chop down all the trees, trap neighbors with Pitfalls, beat them with nets, write them nasty letters, etc. (Though, they are unable to read those letters, it's funny to get a reply like "I loved your letter! Here's some fruit I found.")

[Randuin]

sound like harvest moon :D

[BlueCube]

Yeah, but it plays in real time.. no "going to sleep at 4:00 PM and waking up at 6:00 AM a few seconds later" stuff. Unless you "adjust" the Game Cube clock.

[Randuin]

there's a gamecube clock?!

[BlueCube]

Yes. Yes there is.

Hold the "A" button when you first start (with the little cube rolling around).

You'll go into a menu thingy. Hit "right" and you can see the current time / date. Press "A" to adjust this time / date.

Animal Crossing lets you do this within the game though, before you load your game off of the memory card..

[Randuin]

wow cool :D

[Xenn]

I wish you couldn't adjust the clock though.

[Randuin]

ya so you can do that 6 second sleep thing :D

[BlueCube]

Just don't screw up and set it to 2003... Your entire village will be overrun with weeds, and you'll get cockroaches in your house.

Yes, it happened to me. I didn't want to wait a day to upgrade my house, so...

"Where have you been? I haven't seen you in.. let's see... 12 months!"

That's really all I use the clock trick for.. skipping ahead a day so something happens.

[Randuin]

rofl that is crazy

[Raziel]

I set the clock back if I miss a day or two. That's the only time I ever jack around with it.

By the way, Bluecube, how the hell do you use Pitfalls?! I haven't been able to figure out what the fuck they do!

[BlueCube]

You bury them. If anyone walks over the little X spot where you put it, they'll fall in. That includes you, so remember where you buried it..

If the animals don't want to walk on it, just shove them onto it.

[Randuin]

rofl what good will that do?

[BlueCube]

None, really. It's just fun to shove people into pits.

[Randuin]

lol do they get out after?

[BlueCube]

Yeah, but they get really mad.

"Who's the idiot who put that there!!"

[tacoX]

Yea, the game is the fucking shiznit! But the only thing thats bad is that I fucking need a memory card to go to different towns!

When you go to new towns, are they the same?

The landscape is the same but it has different people, fruits, locations for stuff, etc.

[BlueCube]

No, the landscape is different.. in some towns, for example, the river would be on the other side. And I had another memory card that had 2 cliffs.. it was mountain-a-licious. It's the same stuff, just arranged differently.

[Tuff]

I haven't bought it yet, but plan to eventually.

I, at last count, had like 21 gams I own and plan o beating.

That's what you get when you own all 4 consoles and a gaming PC, and have like 600 emulator games on your PC: Too many game,s and not enough time :(:cry:

:p

[Raziel]

"Tuff"? Like Stevie Rachelle Tuff?

[Jamesadin]

You know that guy?

[Tuff]

Do I? Nope.

[FuRy]

Latest from Japan: Miyamoto says they are working on online capabilities for AC2....

[Jamesadin]

That would be really cool.

[Raziel]

No, I meant Stevie Rachelle, the lead vocalist from the 80's hair band "Tuff".

[Jamesadin]

WOO! I just got this game for christmas! Yeah!!!!

[HellSlayer]

This is a game that you can get very hooked into. I just got it for christmas. I have been playing it for about 4 hrs a day. Thats why I stoped posting so much. :/

[quikspy67]

ive only watched it so i can't judge

[HellSlayer]

I almost did not want it bcause the commerical really looked bad.

[GameCube]

Latest from Japan: Miyamoto says they are working on online capabilities for AC2....
that would be sweet as hell! u can go to a friend's town and talk to them an stuff, without needing their mem card. and trade stuff. sounds cool

[quikspy67]

I almost did not want it bcause the commerical really looked bad.

ya they could have made the commercial better

[BlueCube]

Ha, I agree.. though it does fit the game in an odd sort of way. Especially the part about the Dump..

[quikspy67]

and they could have made the graphics better

[Jamesadin]

Who cares really, the graphics suit the game in my opinion.

[quikspy67]

i said it would be sweeter than it already is if they didn't slack off on the graphics

[GameCube]

well, the game was originally for the N64

[quikspy67]

really they must have been decideing to make it when the 64 first came out

[GameCube]

actually, they were making it right before the gamecube was announced, so they just decided to put it on the cube.

[quikspy67]

well that sucks because if it was made on N64 it would be cheaper right now

[Jamesadin]

Was Nintendo able to have enough memory space for it?

[quikspy67]

they probobly made it on GCN for profits

[sir.dennis]

Bad graphics!

[quikspy67]

correction broudle graphics

[Jamesadin]

Who cares?!?

[sir.dennis]

I Care i like good graphics im SORRY

[quikspy67]

i care too

[sir.dennis]

Good now we all care about graphics if u dont like graphics stick with N64 not GCN

[quikspy67]

no i just like games better with better graphics

[BlueCube]

*sigh* I bet you're the same type of people that think Pac-Man is outdated and has bad graphics. Or Tetris.

The graphics fit the game. They are not bad at all.

It would not be as fun if the people were realistic, as you couldn't say that it's "you" in the game.

It would not be as fun if the animals were realistic, because then the lines they say wouldn't make sense from a real horse or squirrel.

It would not be as fun if the surrounding areas were realistic, as it wouldn't be as easily randomized, making all the towns look the same.

A bunch of cartoon trees that look the same does not look out of place. A bunch of realistic trees that look the same DOES look out of place.

Adding more detail to the world (such as more subtile bends in the river, or making the grass grow, or different tree graphics) would require two memory cards to save the data.


Get over it.

[quikspy67]

actually i like those games but i like whent new games come i want them to have good graphics

[Makenshi]

Worth buying?

[BlueCube]

Heck yes. You'll play it for two months at least, once or so a day.

[Jamesadin]

Hell, I would play it for way more than two months...im still in my first month, and playing alot!

[quikspy67]

If I had it i would play it all the time.

[GameCube]

i just got this game a week ago, and im hooked! its such a great game. many think this game is stupid, until the actually play it. i HIGHLY recommend getting, or at least renting this game. (blockbuster lets u keep games for a week now)

[quikspy67]

Yeah lol it's like they flash sublimninal messages in the game.

[BlueCube]

(Hoppy)
The weather's really nice out, isn't it? (KEEP PLAYING OR YOU'LL DIE)

[Thanatos]

lol, Blue

I've rented this game and I think it's so-so. I don't see why everybody loves this game and plays it for hours.

[quikspy67]

Well I wouldn't play for hours but I would play it everyday though.

[Jamesadin]

I think 'Bunnie' wants to have a sexual relationship with me.
