translation i don't waste time with childsh peoples which just want to be reported for provoking.
You are calling me "childsh peoples" and apparently I'm the one who needs to be reported?
Finally someone else added up the numbers.
Doing that doesn't make Sims 4 less the "winner" in the (completely unscientific) poll, though. You can do that for all of them, and they all come out at less than 50% of the total.
Still doesn't matter. I don't understand why a one-question poll on a website is being discussed as if it's meaningful, as if any one-question poll on any website could have some kind of validity. It's as meaningless as your horoscope or a quiz that tells you which of the Beatles you are. And that would be true no matter what website it was posted on, and no matter which game came out "on top."
even with that I still don't believe on polls from dubious sites like that.
Just because you can say something doesn't mean you should.
Don't believe any poll that isn't backed up by demographic questions to make the answer statistically meaningful. All single-question, opt-in polls are meaningless. Fun, for sure! But that's about it.
..Are you kidding me? Seriously?
My reply about adding up the numbers was really supposed to be taken with a grain of salt. Just the way these polls, statistics and other numbers that get thrown around here all the time. None of these polls,pro/con/or I don't care, could really be described as accurately portraying much of anything.
The people who like the game will rush to post pro TS4 polls and people who aren't so fond of it will do the opposite and publish statistics for their favorites. All the while they will be standing across from each other with their tongues stuck out going nanny-nanny-nanny.
Even when you get into the top selling games of all time it depends on what sites you go to. One site can list Minecraft as number one, another can list Sims 1...........a third might be Myst. This is the Internet you can find a number to prove any point you want to prove.
Then when should I?
Should I ask for your permission first every time I want to post a comment here?
could be best just ignore it, when you have peoples like that the best to do is just ignore and just talk with peoples actually are worth to talk or discuss.
I haven't read through this topic in a couple of days BUT saying the Sims 3 had a very short lived success is rather (as in A LOT) inaccurate. A company doesn't make ELEVEN expansion packs and NINE stuff packs and a store literally CRAMMED WITH A MYRIAD of objects and an additional TWELVE worlds for a release that was a "short lived success". Simcity '13 was a "short lived success", in fact the perfect definition of one, while the Sims 3 was a huge success and continued the tradition of multiple releases over five years.
Actually, most of the people who like the Sims 4 who've posted in this thread have been pretty quick to point out how meaningless this poll actually is. It's the people who hate the game and have been ragging all over Sims VIP that are making this poll a waaaaay bigger deal than it really is. I think it's because these boards are so amazingly inbred and myopic that the people who hate this game and post 1000's of posts about it to the affirmation of their clique of friends here tend to think they represent the majority of players. When something presents a view counter to that the scrambling begins...
Uh, no.
We obviously have not been reading the same thread. I've seen posts praising SimsVIP and bragging about the poll results.
Why are you stereotyping all of us?
There's no clique here, it's quite rude of you to make that accusation. We're not an exclusive group of people, we are individuals who are discussing this long time franchise and why we think it needs to be improved.
And no, when someone with a different viewpoint INSULTS us, that's when the scrambling begins. I've lost count of how many times I've been insulted for expressing my view in the game.
Actually I was making a generalization of the forum and what has been/will be happening here.
Since I don't "hate" the game but am merely very disappointed and want my play style recognized which group do I fit? The myopic or the inbred?
Mirroring what many have been saying for a while in this thread, this poll doesn't mean much. Shoot, I rarely think any poll means much considering most polls only take the opinion of a certain sample size and not the entire group of people it affects. This poll is no different, but then, I highly doubt this poll was really meant to be taken this seriously.
Same. I wanna know too. I hate it when people are like "If you hate the game why are you here?"
I'm here because I like the CAS and I'm a longtime fan of the series.
Honey, it's none of these "sides." It's more like narcissistic peeps are posting for or against this poll because they have to be right all the time. I posted here because I pointed out that just because someone loves TS4 does not make it right to belittle or bash others. And that it goes on unnoticed. Oh, yea and I posted something related to the topic at hand. You have a lot of attitudes and narcissism going on in TS4 section and it comes from certain posters a lot of the time. Anyways, this isn't a serious poll to fume over, and it's not including most/all the simmers in the world; just a small percentage voting for which game is the best to them.
I was referring to all the Sims 3 players who keep trying to claim that Sims 3 outsold the others, i.e the example being the person Jack was responding to. You get rather bothered when someone is critical of Sims 3, so you are in no position to point fingers at me.
At last week can agree on something.
