Recently I found my long-forgotten V2, V3 and V4 tamagotchis and joyfully resurrected all three. I've had great fun with them, but I've very quickly discovered that my V4 is easily my least favourite of the three models. Why? Because of the tendency to receive snakes or poo in the mail and make the tamagotchi upset, wiping ALL of their happiness hearts. I've had a very busy day so only have only played a few games on them, but have had the happiness completely wiped by snakes/poo twice and had to 'snack' my tama back to happiness. This, coupled with the unfortunate event of accidentally feeding my V4 her least favourite treat, means she has put on 50lbs in just one day - would have been more if I hadn't forced myself to play a small number of games to make up for this. Meanwhile, with similar lack of game playing my V2 and V3 have both put on around 15lbs.
Why have this stupid snake/poo feature in the mail that forces you to comfort feed your tama back to happiness? It makes playing the games feel like a slog just to get your tama back to a healthy weight. Also, the funnest games are often the job minigames, which is a really novel idea and one of the positives of the V4. But for some reason you don't lose weight from these. Why not? You don't even get paid instantly for your job either because you have to wait for your pay, meaning there isn't an instant reward from the job at all, taking away a lot of the satisfaction of playing it in the first place.
I'm fairly new here so probably not the first person to moan about this, but am fed up and wanted to get this off my chest. Rant over.
