Don't call people cheaters if they Time Travel.

To some of you, I hear you say that time traveling is cheating. Well to tell you guys, Time Traveling is what some of us choose to do. It's not really cheating. What I consider cheating is that we get items that are not obtainable in the game. If we just want to time travel we can do it. It's our game that we can play our way.

If you people think that time travel in Animal Crossing City Folk is cheating your wrong. There is no way of possibly cheating in AC:CF. It's our game, our rules, and our decisions. I just wanted to get this though to everyone

He is right, if you want the game to get old quick then time travel and get cool stuff and see cool stuff before they happen. I guess some people just don't want to have an enjoyable experience with ACCF. ( It is enjoyable to have every thing(ex. every summer bug and fish) at first, but you will get sick of the game quicker.)

It isn't cheating :/ it's a choice, sure, it does slow down the games fun to early. but waiting sucks. I only played the gamecube one and had TONs of fun.

it's just the same, but with crappy controls.

Nononononononono OHHH no. Just because this game is a sequel to a life simulation doesn't mean it'll be the same. It's way different, but don't get me wrong, it does have some similarities.

I think TT is fair and unfair. Like Ill get really mad if someone TT all the way to Christmas got whatever they got and showed it off to everyone, now thats gonna really tick me off, I dont wanna know what you get, and I dont wanna see it until its around Christmas time. Also I understand people can be impatient, and want to skip a day to see their new house or new bridge and etc. Also people should just mind their own business too, if people want to TT then thats their choice.

it wasn't a stupid statement. Wiimote = fail.

Orly? A good argument against this is in the new game Sonic Unleashed. The first part of the final boss fight with Dark Gaia you use the Wii-Mote+Nunchuck to control the golem's arms to punch. Compared to the PS3/360 version where you just have to press a button when displayed on screen.
Also, FPS's the precision and quickness in movement I get from this is closer to that of a mouse+keyboard than dual analog will ever be. This improvement can also be seen in RE4 Wii.
Another thing that came in the beginning of the Wii's life, The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Something I've always wanted to do but couldn't in any other 3D Zelda game is to walk and aim with the bow and arrow at the same time without it doing that awkward sideways walking thing like in OoT/MM. I could finally dodge attacks and fire away.
SMG platforming and shooting combined so flawlessly along with the spin jump which when it was originally designed for GCN it was going to use the control stick to spin which would lead to many missed jumps.
I could go into the "Olympic game" games developed by SEGA to show improvement over a standard control, but the reviews speak for themselves. Making it the top rated Olympic based game.


Bracing for backlash..

As for the OT, if the devs didn't intend for it to be used like that; than it's an exploit. I don't like to use exploits, but if you want to go ahead and use it then w/e.

Time to put on my serious face. Look, time traveling is knowingly manipulating the game's clock to occur effects that are unnatural to the programmer's desires. I don't suppose "cheating" is the correct term. But...the thing is as long as it's not hindering my gameplay or anyone else's then there's little to know harm in it.

However, time traveling does saturate the online market for things such as the auction house. It hinders action by those who are trying to sell items to other players. Let me explain.

If you time travel constantly, get an exorbitant amount of bells this way (because you can obviously make more money by time traveling than playing the game normally) you can get things that may take some a long time to get. Like a majora's mask from nook's or all the mario series. A player who doesn't time travel may get those things and want to sell them for bells to pay off a mortgage, but so many others got them due to time traveling (and hacking, but that's a different story) and sell them cheaper or give them away for free.

Don't get me wrong, charity's always nice, but it could potentially take away from someone else's fun. But all this being said, i have time travelled before, i time travelled tons in the first Animal Crossing. And trust me the game lasts a lot longer and is way more rewarding without it. Cheating or not, you're cheating yourself the joy of going to Christmas on Animal Crossing the same day you do in real life. Or you see snow fall the same day it is in real life.

But hey, it's your life, live it whatever way you want.

EDIT: Guys guys, the reason the clock is in the game is NOT, i repeat, it is NOT for time traveling it is so you can correct the time of your game, in case you entered in the wrong time, you have moved, or daylight's savings time. I just moved to California from Indiana, and that was a Three hour time changed, if there was no time change clock i wouldn't have been able to change it back.

-Sigh-

The clock was put in the game for a reason. If they didn't want it to be used to time travel, they wouldn't have it in the game. The weed invasion is to encourage you not to time travel, but if they really wanted you not to, they wouldn't have included a clock in the game, or any way to alter the time inside the game or outside it.

Not saying I'm for time traveling, but you can't really argue with those who do, because they can. There's a clock in the game you can change to whatever date/time you want. Those whom are impatient or desperate can use it to time travel. Are they cheating? No. Are they playing unfairly? No.
