Thoughts on The Sims Spark'd...

I couldn't agree more. I wish they could spend more time improving the gameplay of the sims4.
I don't doubt that this TV show might draw in new players to play the sims4, but as someone who watches other games on twitch, peoples reaction to the sims4 are often usually complaining about the lack of gameplay and the large amount of DLC because they compare the sims4 to other games that they play that cost less and gives them way more entertainment.
I watched EA Play with Dropped Frames, a bunch of people who do podcasts on video games and their reaction to the sims trailer was that they could not help but notice how EA really tries to send this new message along with them trying to sell as much DLC as they can to as many people as possible.
So I really wonder if this new direction is working. Peoples reaction on Twitter and Youtube are not very positive either.
More like the whole circus.
It's a PR stunt. A recorded, simulated simulated reality to present to the target group somebody figured out. Probably could push popularity under current circumstances. Anybody still knows tv ads for toys from the '80s?
Saying "not to be rude", then blatently being rude does not excuse rude behavior.
And what a ted talk
I don't watch gamechangers on YouTube, so I won't watch them on TV either, especially since I don't have TV. I particularly dislike reality shows too, so there is zero chance I'll be watching this. But I'm sure I'm not exactly the target audience. For those of you who are the target audience, I'm glad it's something you'll enjoy.
I don't watch sim videos simply because I'd rather spend that time playing. But this is a first in the history of the Sims franchise and I'll definitely be tuning in.
The overall consensus appears to be quite negative to complete indifference, not just on the forums, but on Youtube, Twitter, Reddit, and other websites.
There are some people on here who are interested in it, and there's nothing wrong with that, but it's definitely not a big percentage.
It may be financially viable, but is it worth the overall negative opinions it's garnering?
Wake me up when the knitting pack drops.
And yes, I know there are people who actually like Sims 4 and enjoy playing it. Despite my insults, I'm one of them. But you get what I mean, right? It's all about milking those teenager fun bucks until they become the much less important peripheral audience
Pancake Confessions: Eliza's Rags to Riches Challenge
For me Sims has always been a personal experience. I play it to escape the competition and selfishness and demand of money of this world. I'm an underdog and well seems like things like this are trying to push the reality show ideals onto people that American government also pushes and is kind of like putting salt onto a wound. It is not what the community needs right now. They need to come together not be pushed apart.
I had a lot of fun making the challenge and made wonderful friends during it.
I completely agree. One of the main reasons why I enjoy sims over other games is the fact that this game is more about creativity than competition. Even if I play a challenge, it is just for fun and not a competition. I don't mind a side project as long as it doesn't stop people from telling their own stories I hope this will not be the main focus for the future of the sims franchise.
agreed
Biggest pet peeve is that the people involved are largely big YouTubers, who make tons of money anyways. They don't need the $100k prize. Would've been better if it was every day players rather than using well known faces in the sims community to draw publicity to it. I don't really care either way, I'll give it a watch but I'm not that bothered.

1) Its a total cringe fest.
2) Showcases the community behind it as total weirdos.
3) Barely sees a 2nd season.
I enjoy reality shows, but I on pure principle avoid the ones that directly tie to my interests. Id much rather just watch folks on youtube than corporate tv with no genuine interest try to appear hip and cool. And besides, this is just something to put on tv while we wait for fall premiers.
