Okay guys. I've never played an Animal Crossing game before (yeah, I know..). I decided to pick up City Folk since it seems to be the best of the bunch.
I'm three hours in and I'm wondering.. am I doomed to spend the rest of my AC life performing menial tasks with little reward? Does it get more fun? Am I missing something? Where exactly is one supposed to derive enjoyment from the game?
And these aren't sarcastic questions - I seriously want to know.
If you are talking about the errands Nook sends you on then no, these won't last forever.
If you are talking about stuff like fishing, planting trees and such, well, it all depends on the player. If you aren't having fun with AC I hate to say it but it ain't your game.
You can fish and donate your catch to the museum. It might not seem much, but its definitely satisfying showing off your rare catch to other players. I mean...you can fish sharks!
Then there's decorating your town, which is what I am doing. Once more, its satisfying creating a beautiful town then showing it off. It makes the experience far more personal.
Creating patterns can be very fun and even hilarious at times. Just ask SB about his Mr. Slave pattern. You can also create patterns in order to make patterns and adorn your town, adding even more complexity to your village.
City Folk also has a snapshot option (though poorly implemented). Just go to the Funhouse and you'll see that people are running wild with the screens.
There's even the turnips, which works a lot like the stock market. You can buy a lot of them and hope that Nook sells them at a great cost.
I can go on and on about the experience. AC is a game that is defined by the player. The game gives you the options and the features, but its really up to you how you use your time in the game.
