Animal Crossing: City Folk

my most played AC, I have so many good memories with this game

^

so nostalgic

better than acnh

super underrated wtf

the atmosphere of the city is so awesome

I dont like this much but honestly its dope it runs at 60fps. I know its just a life sim but it feels so good

this is the saddest playing a video game has ever made me feel, mainly because of how the wii's online functionality has been shut down. Games like New Horizon that intentionally play up the vibe of social isolation and escapism fall so flat to how painfully alone I feel while playing something like city folk. I've tried picking up this game to go back to my old town but usually it's to no avail, and I feel too sad to keep playing. Maybe it's just cause this game reminds me of a simpler pre-internet time in my life where I'd either always be playing this game or watching my siblings play it, but either way it holds a special place in my heart. It should be a crime for a game to make me feel this way, nonetheless this strongly, and this unintentionally. Everything feels so small and insignificant as you're not the mayor/leader/constructer of a huge island (like in New Horizons) and it's perfect in that way. Especially without any online play available, this game is a truly isolating experience that makes you feel alone to your core, especially considering this game has no form of co-op whatsoever (to my knowledge). Anyway, everytime I play this game it breaks my heart a little. The sheer way that it feels as if you can't control anything that's happening and just having to live with the way everything else is just really gives me the feels. one of my favorite games of my childhood :')
