No LGR review copy this time

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziFsj4k5Wc0

first impressions from the discords that I'm in are semi-negative, so I would advise caution.

    I wonder why they didn't give him an early access for this pack. I mean, IF they watch his youtube channel, they can see that he loves EVERYTHING that is real-life based (aka not aliens, vampires and such) so I mean, if I were EA/maxis, I would absolutely give him a copy because there's like a 99% chance he'd like it a lot and he has a lot of followers...

    Honestly, he admits he doesn't play the Sims (all versions) very much at all anymore. So if he's lost the passion for the Sims, that will come across in his videos (the last time he played The Sims on his channel was Get To Work when it came out).

    Before Get To Work, he would have gameplay videos of him playing The Sims all the time.

    So why would EA give him an access code, when he doesn't play the game anymore? While they have dedicated players who will promote the product for the next 6 months or so?

    He never played these games on his channel "all the time". In fact gameplay videos on his channel are rare in general, because it's a REVIEW channel, not a let's play channel. The most I've seen of him playing The Sims was some special 2 hour videos of The Sims 2.

    As to why should EA give him a code? Because a lot of simmers trust him as a reviewer. He is not affiliated or contracted by EA, making him an independent party rather than a paid promoter like most influencers are.

    The fact that they did not give him a copy makes me very suspicious about the quality of EP.

    The EP is amazing, no idea what you're talking about.

    No offence but i think that the title is a bit misleading...it says "soon" so maybe he is just working on it. I thouhgt that he's not gonna make a review at all. He has great sense of humor and i love his reviews..they never affect on my buy desicions because i usually buy all EP's on release dates.

    he didn't get a review copy, so he bought the game on release as everyone else. I didn't say that he's not making a review :)

    Just to clear things up:
    - LGR isn't that fond of pets expansions to begin with. He says so himself. And judging by his tweets, he's not exactly impressed with C&D.
    - However, not EVERYTHING he says is negative, contrary to popular belief. He's fair, and he does call out bad things, but he does end up liking some things. He liked the toddlers patch, Parenthood, and Vampires (I think). And his reviews are quite entertaining.

    We can only speculate as to why he wasn't given a copy. Maybe it is because of his negative reviews. Who knows? Just wait for it to come out. So far I've seen both praises and criticisms for the pack, and opinions from both categories have a lot of good points.

    Literally EVERYTHING he says is negative. He picks whatever he can and makes it a huge deal. I'd much rather watch someone like Deligracy who does genuinely love the game and got her subscribers from being passionate about it than someone who just moans and makes everyone feel negative. Or you know, just play it myself.

    I dont value his criticisms.

    Just because someone has a PLATFORM (which anyone can have on you tube) does not make them someone I want to listen to. I think he doesnt actually play the sims 4 . He just reviews it. And if you dont care for this game anyway and arent passionate at all about it, then I cant really trust your reviews.

    I bought Cats and Dogs. Im enjoying it.

    How do you know how old the pet is?
    How do you know what skills they have?
    We can't even click on them to see the basic stats that we could in TS2. It's like having another "sim baby" on the lot. On top of that training is actually very easy and so is befriending strays, as there's no actual work that said animals can take, there's no challenge in playing with them, outside of being quite tedious.

    I just like being able to have pets in the game again and being able to recreate my cat and dogs.

    I never depend on critics. "Les Miserables" and "Wicked" were panned by the critics and had enormous success. He's just bored and should turn his attention to something else.
