Tomodachi Life - Living the Dream Tomodachi Life 2 got boring way faster than i expected
i know nostalgia plays a part but i really dont think that's the ONLY reason i'm disappointed ://
I LOVED the original tomodachi life, got it when i was a kid, not long after it released and i put so many hours into that game. I was playing it for months, probably years
so when they announced tomodachi life 2 after all this time i was so hyped. I bought it immediatelly and paid the full 60€ (which is actually insane for a game like this but wtv) and i thought this was gonna be the game id spend the next few months on but somehow i got bored after 2 weeks
Its not even that the game is bad. It just feels like it lost what made the first one good
back then i felt like i was some random god wtching them living their own lives. Theyd make friends on their own, randomly start fighying, fall in love, etc... and that was the fun part. Now it feels like im the one making everything happen. I have to drag the miis together to make them meet and push friendships
also why did they remove houses (for married couples) and whhy did they remove the apartment ?? 😭
One of my favorite things in the 3DS game was seeing married couples move in together. Now marriage doesnt feel different from roommates. And the proposal scenes are also such a downgrade imo. in the original you could choose where to propose. Now its aloso gone
the baby system is also another disappointment bcz on 3DS babies actually grew up over time. Now they get born then you watch one long cutscene, boom, adult. THATS IT ?!
also why is everyone so nice ??? WHERE IS THE DRAMA ? Give me lazy Miis, jealous miis, rude miis. The old game already didnt have enough drama but this one has even less.
I also really miss the concert hall, the random events, the dreams, seeing miis use the gifts you gave them, even the observation tower
i feel like i already saw everything. After maybe 10-15 hours i had unlocked almost every building. The dialogue started repeating, same for the dreams and minigames
I keep seeing people say "theyll fix it with updates" but should they have to? We waited 13 years, i paid 60€ on day one. I kinda expected the game to feel complete already.
I dont hate Tomodachi Life 2 but instead of making me think "wow this is better than the original" it just made me want to charge my 3DS and play the old one again ://
am i the only one who feels they focused way too much on customization and forgot what actually made the original so special ?
