    in The Sims 4 Speculation and Rumor
    The specific qualifier is 'straightaway'.

    Would you buy it straight away? You see it in the store and no matter the reviews, you'd buy it as soon as you could?

      I think yes to try it out but now that i’m thinking about it if the reviews are bad i’m not so sure if the base game is lacking as much or more like the sims 4 launch game i would be really dissapointed so i hope they release the sims 5 in like 2022 so they have enough time to make it the best base game to date because if that isn’t the goal why even bother making a new one

      I answered "yes." I've always purchased the new Sims games straighaway. However, if it were announced the game would not include things I want and the appearance was not something that appealed to me, I'd probably wait.

      But, as it stands now, the answer is "yes."

      Nope, did that with the Sims 3 and because I didn't like the look of it, I layed it to rest until the first expansion came out.
      I bought the Sims 4 when get together was announced.

      I voted no because the poll asks straight away...not only have I very recently acquired sims 4 but I usually like to let a sims game fester for a bit before jumping in...was not a coincidence at all that seasons came out and I bought 4 when it did, looking back I dont know how I ever survived without seasons

      Regardless of what a hypothetical Sims 5 would be, I have no intention to purchase it until it has the features that I want in it. I'm tired of playing the holding pattern game while waiting for the packs that I am interested in to be released. So even if it was something I am interested in I am not taking the proverbial plunge until it has seasons, pets and vampires.

      With the restriction that if it would be clear they’d follow the current direction then no, in that case I wouldn’t. But if it would look in any way promising, I’d want to at least try it out.

      I'd like to think I would be critical and wait a little to see if it's right up my alley but I know I would pre-order it as soon as it's announced :D

      No, I don't buy a game straight away without informing myself first. I always look for all the news and info I can find about an upcoming game, and read any available reviews. I also like to wait a little to see what bugs players have found.

      There's only one time I remember purchasing a game for release day, Planet Coaster. There was so much info available prerelease, including lots of info from the beta testing, I felt confident I'm my purchase decision.

      When Sims 5 is released, I will likely buy it if it is the type of life simulator I want. But I won't buy until I've done my research. That's just how I roll.

      After the disappointment with buying the sims 4 straight away, I wouldn't buy the sims 5 right after it got released.
      Necessary basics were missing and I emediatly went back to playing the sims 3.
      I did this for about 2 years until the sims 4 was more up to date.
      So.... NO I wouldn't buy it straight away :)

      Yes because I am such a huge Sims fan. The day it was released I would have exhaustively known every single fact and detail about the game!

      Yes.
      I voted Yes, but I'm missing the middle ground here...

      I want to see what the game is like before I even can say Yes or No..

      If it has (semi) open world, the cartoony sims 4 style graphics, PROPER life stages (hello teens, toddlers and babies) and all the other creativity tools Sims 3 provided.. then most likely yes.

      If it's another dumbed down version of The Sims franchise, like The current Sims 4 is, then probably not.

      Would I buy it straightaway? without reading any reviews etc? No.

      Yes along with more Sims 4 Packs. I buy all the Sims Iterations unless of course it's multi online and not single player.

      Not right away. Sims is an expensive game, so I'd wait for sales before buying a new base game or any packs. And I would want to know what the game was like.

      After Sims 4's disastrous launch, I'd like to know first if it's good or not.

      That said, I am hoping for a Sims 5 that's actually a worthy sequel to the franchise

      Well, the reason there's no middle ground as an option is because programmers love it when they can get you to buy on impulse. That way, the quality of the game doesn't matter. If you have huge trust in EA/Maxis turning out a great product you'll buy it without hesitation. If you're cautious, you might want to wait a few months - by which time it might turn out the game's full of bugs or over-priced Microtransactions or Online Only play or is lacking in pools or toddlers or aliens...

      'Starigt away...regardless of the reviews' no definitely not except the reviews are mostly positive then yes even pre-order infact

      But If it's going to repeat the same shortcomings and limitations of the S4 i.e cutting off/ removing basic base game things and or making it entirely an online/multiplayer game Then a Big NO...

      Probably, I don't really go by other people's reviews and never have, unless I know for sure they play exactly like me. If they don't, then what's important to them may not be important to me and vice versa. And it really depends on what type of genre it is. Reviews might help with finding out more details about that. I wasn't overly bothered by not having open world in TS4, and I liked the open spaces a lot, however, I would want at least open districts this time to visit the house next door etc. Stuff like that didn't really bother me. (But another moodlet system might bother me).

      I don't trust them enough to buy anything straight off anymore. Didn't buy sims4, probably won't buy sims 5 if there is one. Would have to be one spectacular game and more of a combo of 2 and 3, then backwards like 4.

      Yes, I would, given it's not a repeat of TS4 and how it came out with a lot of basic content out of the BG.
