      Part of me wonders what everyone would think of the game if we weren’t in lockdown and had nothing better to do.

    One thing that *really* brings me down is the fact there's little to no way to interact with other players, mini-games, interactive expressions, interactive objects, you can use to have fun with your friends, that's what this game desperately needs, hopefully the updates made to this game will increase interactivity, it would be incredible.

      Animal crossing is a slow burn, and I completely understand why some people will never get into the series, but asking the devs change things you find bland and boring is just kinda... Pointless.
      That said, it could totally stand for some QoL tweaks, as mentioned in the video, so I agree with the reviewer there, but you specifically talk about tweaking gameplay, and (depending what you meant by that) that would be a huge no for me. Could they ADD to the gameplay? Sure! But don't change the fundamentals.
      AC has always been about playing it your way, so if you can't find fun things to do with the multiplayer as it is, then maybe it's you (not YOU specifically) that isn't fun, and not the game.

    This videos knowledge of memes/humor and implementing them together so perfectly is great, with the undertone that this is an actual review. Great vid.

    My GF's Switch + Animal Crossing came in today and let me just say:
    I'm so glad this thing has a handheld function.

      Yeah, true. This feels like one of those freemium mobile games with those mechanics.

    6:37 I use bluetooth headphones, so you said "your gonna hear trivial stuff like" and then my headset cut in and said "battery low" at the EXACT perfect moment.

    “There are three unused buttons, and how dare you” I had to pause the video I laughed so much 10/10 review

      @@Besayren that was a shorted version of something like this: "How dare you, developers, make me "stop, open the item wheel and equip something" (which is 4 button presses and annoying as dang) to do something so a) simple and b) extremely often used in the gameplay as hopping over rivers or climbing ledges? Things like that should be a lot easier and faster to access, and you could have done it easily, since you have three buttons on the controllers that literally have no functions at all. This crap is important, bad usability is what makes people leave and never come back. Imagine CZcams making you expand a list of reactions to leave a like or dislike, or ask you every time after you click on a video if you REALLY want to watch it. Annoying, right? That's an example of making things only ONE click further away than they should be. And you bloody make me do four moves to perform the most basic maneuvers that I sometimes need to do several times in 20 seconds! This is unacceptable and how dare you make this game so annoying!"
      Yeah, I think it's something like that.

    I've been on a Mr. Rogers kick recently, having watched the Tom Hanks movie not too long ago. So when you sang the theme song, it put a huge smile on my face.

    Okay. This needs to be said. I just love you guys! Regardless of the fact that the premise of this channel is somewhat secondary to the charm of its authors, I have to tell you that I'm a big fan. Chelsey, I think you're the girlfriend every gamer wish they had, and I hope your boyfriend knows how lucky he is. I've just finished binge-watching all your videos and I want to say thank you both for being so entertaining and, dare I say, informative. Thanks to you two, I will soon need to join a support group for people addicted to Monster Hunter World 😉. Keep it up, you guys. I really believe you've found your niche in life. Sincerely, a new fan who can't stop hearing "hol' up a minute" in his head. 😁
