sorry, i cant honestly compare a $70 vase with a $60-$80 game cause i dont like vases at all. i wouldnt even buy any vase for $70 unless if i knew it was worth like a lot more and i could resell it. honestly, theres a lot of things like furniture that i personally think are overpriced but maybe thats only cause im a teenager and i still dont have to buy furniture for a house

Most of us are painfully aware of TS3s BUGs that still have not been fixed by EA.....
Exactly, and I think it's sensible to assume the same attention (or lack there of) will be given to TS4 issues.
On the upside, the information is out there. Hopefully people will know what they're getting, this time. For some it's no biggie, for others it will be.
Vases and games aren't comparable. Besides the Sims is the only viable life simulation game out there in this current generation.
You do make a good point. It's either Sims or nothing for life simulation games. To be honest, I kind of wish another company would create games similar to The Sims. I'll still be a simmer for life, but there's tons of city building games other than SimCity, so why not more life simulation games.
Technically if you dropped the sims 4 cd it could shatter, and could get deep scratches. Also this isn't one v.s. the other type thread. The analogy goes like this. At what level of damage to the game are you willing to accept. The same way in the vase at what level of damage are you willing to accept. That's the analogy.
Well then, that analogy has variations. But you are attempting to liken the S4 to a totally broken vase. That's not the case. You see flaws making you decide you don't want to purchase it. That's fine. All art has flaws in the eyes of the viewer. Now, IF you are solely looking to own perfection for collectible and increased value, then the eye is more discerning.
The sims is a game. While it's art and has value to players determined by how they play, it's not analogous in terms of overall value.
Hmmmm how to respond to you.
While sims 4 has glitches, it doesn't mean it's the severly broken vase either. It could be the vase with nicks and scratches, or a crack. Still useable and playable.
Games in themselves are work of art. Everyone here is going to feel the different about that game in the same way they feel different about the vase. What is another mans garbage can be another mans treasure whether it has value or not. Even a video game can equate to that saying. As to me sims is a treasure, however take someone who doesn't like the genre and to them it's garbage. So The value of both are up to the individual in the end. Still doesn't change the analogy, I'm making.
the point is this: No one in their right mind as a collector would buy part of a vase to seek out and maybe someday find the rest of it. The art glass world is far different than the game world.
And the S4 is a base game to be added to. So in essence, it IS a broken vase waiting for the pieces to be added to make it whole again.
So I say again....bad analogy.
O.o you seem to be placing your career in the anology. I know for a fact people will and indeed do purchase parts of vases. Especially if that vase happened to be fragments of 1,000's of years ago. In many parts of the world are on display. So the fact it's a glass vase doesn't hold here i just used glass for images of a vase. i could have taken any other vase.
However that's the point of analogy. As a collector you wouldn't buy parts of a vase to seek out and maybe someday find the rest. Yet people will buy a game in hopes to seek out and maybe someday find the rest of what they feel is missing from the game. Many will spend hundred's of dollars to do it. The analogy is good because you still fit right in to it.
You're not willing to buy the shattered vase.
Let me say this because vases do come with accessories. Yes you can change and upgrade a vase. Simply buy adding to it beads, colored water, lights, flowers, etc. Like the base game the vase is the foundation that holds it all. The add ons make it more useful and decorative. Is that not what expansions do for sims games. Expand upon the game. If that is the point than how much are you willing to tolerate of the base. In what condition are you willing to buy it? Can dance around it all you want to but again the analogy stays the same.

i really want this so bad. i actually like simulators a lot, for example euro truck simulator, farming simulator, surgeon simulator, simcity which is a city simulator basically. and well life simulation is the best type of simulation game there is. but EA owns the only life simulation game so that really sucks...... the sims 2 was great. i really wish a different company would make a new series of life simulation thats far better than the sims and maybe even more focused on realism.

actually, i think the only other game that really comes close to life simulation is GTA 5. i can own my own cars, apartment and houses, roam freely in an huge open world either walking ,swimming, driving, flying planes or helicopters. the only thing thats missing of course is offline RPG like the sims, with relationships , socialization and actual careers like we see in the sims.

I don't know anyone in the glass world that will buy a part of a vase. But I know the sims is all about the base of the vase when they start over.

that's true but you still play the sims 3 sow it isn't that bad
I never did say TS3 was bad thought. :P

New members can't quote or post pictures until they get a certain amount of points. Just keep talking and you'll get there.
