OMG x'D the review on amazon for AC:NL ... its sooo apparent that the person writing this review didn't even read the game description, watch any trailers, or even see any photos of the game.
Quote:
I bought this game expecting an exciting GTA-like open world game where I'm free to do what I want, but unfortunately the only combat to be found in this game is chopping down trees. I'm serious! There's only one weapon - the axe. And you can't even kill anybody! If you go up to them and try to hit them, it'll just start a conversation with them.
You live in a neighborhood full of animals such as dogs, cats, etc, and they all live in their own house. You would expect there to be an option to rob them, or kill them in their sleep or something, right? After all, this is supposed to be a video game where you can do whatever you want. But you can't! If you try to chop their door down with the axe at night, it'll just inform you that they're sleeping.
So as I'm starting my game I'm just waiting for a Fallout 3-esque menu to pick what skills I want to level up, and I wanted to play this game being as stealthy as possible. But unfortunately, there's no leveling up system, no weapons, no combat, nothing! We live in the year 2013, where gaming has evolved into a beautiful way to escape reality, and they weren't even bothered to add something that makes it feel like you're playing a game? Even games from the 1970s had combat! Like, Nintendo, seriously? If you're going to make an open world game, at least try to make it PLAY like an open world video game!
Now, enough about the things you CAN'T do. Let's talk about the things you CAN do. You can pluck weeds. Go fishing. Talk to neighbors (With only ONE THING TO SAY to them, as opposed to having many conversation choices in games like Fallout 3 and Mass Effect) Catch bugs. Sell stuff. Pay off your house. Make your house bigger. Decorate your house. Yes, I'm talking about a VIDEO GAME. Doesn't it sound like things your mom would ask you to do? Aren't those the kind of things you play video games to escape from?
The beautiful thing about video games are that they dump you in a world where you can be whatever you want, they make you feel like somebody you could never dream of being. You can fight enemies, kill innocent people, you can be anybody you want to be! But in this game, all you can be is a stupid little kid who does chores. That's what this game should be called: "Stupid Little Kid Who Does Chores".
If you're looking to bore yourself to sleep, or if you're like a 3 year old baby, then by all means, purchase this game. It's definitely up your alley. But if you want a fleshed out, immersive game that lets you be anybody you want to be, then look elsewhere.

What on the goddess's green earth were they ON when they thought something titled Animal Crossing was going to be a hack-and-slash action game?!

It was a fluke, xD One of my friends came over and saw a Fairy tail scetch I had made of
Natsu and Erza together with them kissing.
Apparently, Like me they are a big Natza fan so, they offered me money for it xD

I used to sell art to friends for like 5 dollars max, but that was just because at the time I was really busy and I felt that If I was going to use my spare time, I might as well be making a few extra dollars. xD
