Cry? Nah. I had high hopes for the 4 but now I'm over it...still curious how this mess is gonna turn out but at this point I've got a list of other games I'd much rather buy when they come out....
-
I was willing to give it a shot down the road when there was more content but after seeing all these objective driven RPG elements to the game I highly doubt I will at this point... If I want to play an objective driven RPG there's plenty to chose from...and they don't charge you extra just to have weather in your game.
-
Well yeah, hardcore gamers want a challenge and this game offers no challenge as far as I can tell.
-
I've been wondering that too...they definitely won't be able to convince hardcore gamers to pay for this since they're hard to please... Based on everything that's been released so far I'd assume it's girls 13 and younger. If they want all those 13-year-old boys off GTA online they gotta try a lot harder.
-
I think what the OP meant was that if EA wants to bring in new gamers they'll have to step up their game in terms of quality because while you may have not played other games other people have and when they look at sims they compare it to the entertainment value of other games. Just because there's nothing else out there…
-
That and I also hope their new memory system got an overhaul too. As much as I've gotten to love my sims in Sims 3 the memories didn't serve much of a purpose to them and because the game kept track of all memories, for every sim in town, the save would always end up bloated. For that reason I play with memories completely…
-
For all the cuts they've made I hope these emotions work well too, especially as far as gameplay goes, but it sounds like a more refined Sims 3 emotion system to an extent? I think in theory Sims 3 moodlets were supposed to help simulate a better emotional range but the way they stacked didn't work so well. The short term…
-
I do hope that this new emotion system is as great as they tout it to be and not just a glorified mood meter with more animations to source from. Technically, in Sims 3 the "emotion" issue I found was with the moodlet system- to an extent. Each moodlet would have a positive, negative or neutral effect on the sim's mood…

I think the most abnormal? thing I had happen was when I was playing a normal family for once and their kid's friend came over after school one day. The said friend then didn't leave at the end of the day...or the next day...or the day after. He lived in their tree house for about a week, would wash himself in their…
-
1) B 2) Initially, not so much? I tried playing it how I played Sims 2...and that didn't work out to well. I played up to World Adventures then I got busy with life. Didn't pick up the game again until an injury left me stuck at home with not a whole lot to do (couldn't even hold a PS3 controller) so I picked up Sims 3…
-
Lol at this point I wouldn't be surprised if someone sent a bag of *** to EA. Rather than failed expectations I'm more expecting buyer's remorse for those who didn't make an informed purchase decision? As in those who heard "Sims 4!!!" and "emotions!!!" saw a trailer and were hooked...without looking into anything else. I…
-
Yeah, I know what you mean. There's been game series I ditched too, Sim City 5 being one of them...for the same reason as you. Even though I still remember playing the original. While I'm also aware EA is not going to ditch 4-5 years of development, is it the consumer's fault they completely missed the mark as to what Sims…
-
...and those are just three videos out of some 40,000+ rants on youtube... But yeah, they make a lot of good points.
-
Soo...do you go out and buy every FPS game that comes out? It's not petty to refuse to buy a game that doesn't accommodate your play-style or interests because why on earth would you spend $60-$70 on something that you won't enjoy? The fact that they've shown so little and announced so many cuts due to "lack of time"…
-
Apparently I spent $1,278.65 on the Sims 3 store alone? I copied my billing history into Excel and had it add up the total for me... I also got every expansion and stuff pack except that one candyland abomination..though I've considered getting it just for the sake of having everything like I did with Sims 1 & 2. Of course…
-
I can answer some of those questions myself, for example Sims 4 being an open ended game means the amount of hours you can play without the game ending is technically unlimited. Which is a good thing. As far as the graphics go, well - cartoony ones tend to age well. For me - if the graphics fit the theme and enhance the…
-
Hmm, but that's your personal opinion. See, my problem is that if they want this game to bring in new players, what's there to this game? Do you play any other games? When I do comparative objective shopping for a game I look at entertainment value for the price. What type of game is it? How many gameplay hours can I get…
-
Can you objectively list the appeals of Sims 4? Without comparing it to its predecessors? I'm seriously not trying to hate on the game or anyone I just want some objective reasons why it's a game that should be bought. Mainly because I'm confused about EAs target demographic this time around. If they want to bring in new…
-
Complaining won't change the game this late in development and it's fine if people like what's there. However, if there is enough of an uproar over the changes and it impacts the sales enough, odds are what can be changed will be implemented in later expansions/patches and if the franchise survives to make Sims 5 you'll…
-
Pardon the intrusion here, but is it bad to be here out of sentimentality for the series? I don't know, I've been a fan of the series from the beginning but the direction it has taken has lost its appeal. Personally I don't hate it, but the way it has been presented to us I just see no good reason at this point to buy it…
-
Sims 2 didn't have CASt but it had body shop and it was tedious. When Sims 3 came out with CASt I dropped the Sims 2 like a hot potato....and didn't look back for a long time. Tried playing Sims 2 a few months ago and I just couldn't do it... Also, right now there's absolutely no guarantee that Sims 4 will have better…
-
That actually sounds doable to an extent without getting sued by EA... There's been zombie apocalypse indie "sim" games cropping up where you have to satisfy physical needs, build a base/shelter, gather food and etc that are less focused on the mindless slaughter of the undead...so blended simulation? I think that's…
-
Well, the others have more or less nailed as to why not, but if you think about it, it would be hard to make a sims game without it having much resemblance to sims...especially if you want it casual and without violence. The problem I'm seeing with the sims in general is that many of us grew up on the franchise, so now…
-
Somehow I imagine a life simulator by Rockstar being nothing like sims at all, or at least not the sims we're used to. Slightly off topic but today Undead Labs had a twitch live feed as they were going over a recent patch and after all this Sims 4 mess with EA it was like a breath of fresh air...and a very happy place...in…
-
I've been more or less arguing with myself inside my head about the pros and cons of Sims 4...the pros and cons in general very subjective as what I might find to be a con other people will find it to be a pro. There's features I like, CAS, bill payment, connected worlds, the split relationship bars etc - y'know, the…
-
Probably in the minority here but I'd like anything I can recolor and stick on a junkyard/warehouse themed lot....anything science themed too. The country/farm themed stuff has worked quite rather well though.
-
Bumper cars sound like a riot!
-
Lol imagine if no one complained or provided negative feedback to the changes, and I mean absolute silence, just not buy when the game comes out and then EA would have no clue why the game flopped...
-
Well...they already took out everything I liked... I'm all for compromises but only to a certain point. If I have to compromise on something the replacement feature should make up for what I'm giving up. As far as my dislikes, I'd say it'd be the eye-burning glow, the loading screens for every lot, no way to have a mix of…
Howdy, Stranger!
