[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;50303039]I'd rather just get a DS and buy Animal Crossing so I don't have to deal with a bunch of shitty annoying microtransactions shoved in my face. Speaking of that, what's the best Animal Crossing anyway? I've never played them but I want to at some point and I have no idea where to start.[/QUOTE] Get Wild World. Its the best. Can be emulated on smartphones well. Touch screen features integrate well with smartphones. The world feels more genuine. City folk needs a console or an emulator. Its identical to Wild world anyway. Cant be played on phones. New Leaf is an AC game for sheltered kids. It lacks many features that brought the characters to life. All of the characters are nauseatingly nice, not much variety there. And you dont get to be scolded by resetti, instead you *choose* whether you want to be scolded or not. Also, we dont get the curator's explanation on specimens that we donate to museum, we need to read them on a bland billboard. Things like this turned the game into lifeless fetch quest. Dont be fooled by the nice grafix

a free to play Animal Crossing with premium shit is the real nightmare of this generation.
New Leaf was pretty fun but I wish I never left Wild World. After leaving my original village behind to start on NL the series in general just didn't really feel the same.
Nintendo's micro-transaction contents are alright, but the pricing is ehh
[QUOTE=Furnost;50303505]city folk also has shitty grass wear so before you know it your whole town is nothing but dirt everywhere, villagers repeat themselves a lot more i think, in fact i think city folk is when they toned down villager personalities? villagers could be complete assholes in wild world and gamecube, but since wii the more dickish personalities havent been that dickish. portability is also a plus for me, AC has always felt like a mobile console game not a home console game city folk just didnt offer enough over wild world for me to want to deal with not being portable and the toned down villagers. it still sucks that new leaf keeps the changed villagers and everyone feels same-y, but it adds enough that i could deal with it[/QUOTE] Fair enough, I guess. I felt similarly about the villagers, but I'd just personally rather play City Folk (and ultimately New Leaf) regardless. [QUOTE=hakimhakim;50304957]New Leaf is an AC game for sheltered kids.
