Animal crossing is stress free

*me not breathing, heart pounding trying to catch that stupid tarantula*

"Non stressful activities"
Me: $198, 000 in debt

It really sucks that it's one island per console, I don't want to be sharing one island with my brothers...

“You have to be friends with someone.”

*Oh, you mean the hard part?*

[lonergurl-em]

“ it’s not really a stressful game just catching bugs and fish “

Me: * laughs in crippling debt *

[isaa]

This game will get a lot of attention because of the quarantine

[tkb]

“You can’t really die”
*wasps and tarantulas have entered the chat*

Hell, I bought it anyhow, mom just passed, I'm stuck inside, I can play this to keep mind busy & just wonder outside in my own world...

There are 2 kinds of Animal Crossing players
- spends everyday playing the game
- time traveler

Man I'm really on the fence about this. It's looks cool and relaxing but I just don't know if I'll get into the gameplay. I used to play basically only shooters but I'm sick and tired of those now days. I feel like I will like it but 60 bucks isn't just chump change for something you may end up hating.
Edit: I bought it and it's dope. Fuck tarantulas and wasps

"You'll never face any true failure. You're hanging out. Achieving goals, slowly growing. Just like real life, I guess"

Wow. I kinda needed that wisdom, not gonna lie

[gagesmith]

I’ve never played an Animal Crossing game in my life. After putting 5 or so hours into this one I can safely say I love it and it it so relaxing and peaceful. Such a great purchase and I would recommend it to anyone.

“It’s like you’re establishing a colony.” *Happy Great Britain noises*

[dumdbie]

Your island should’ve been called “State Farm” so then Victoria would’ve said “Wait! You’re Jake from State Farm”

I never write YouTube comments, and this is my first Animal Crossing, but I have to say.... This game is AMAZING. I come from a background of 1st person shooters and open world RPG's and ARPG's, and I find this simple game incredibly addictive. There is so much to do, so much to see, and so many ways to create. I can't stop thinking about what I'll be doing next to my island while I'm at work. This is a MUST BUY. Which is why I'm actually commenting on YouTube. BUY THIS.

"it's not a game you can grind a lot for day, because it moves in real time progression"

*Laughing nervously after have spent 6 hours playing it yesterday*

[uvdxlul]

We all know the title should be: “Animal crossing: after you buy and already spend 150 hours on it”

[ochuey]

Bro that “1 island per switch” was a HUGE turn off rip

[kubaambroziak]

The title should be: should you buy a Nintendo Switch just to play Animal Crossing😂
