I've seen forum replies (and YouTube comments) where people say these six things about The Sims 4:
1. Rename the game to "The Sims 0.5," "The Sims 1.5," or "The Sims 2.5"
2. Say they were disappointed by the game
3. Say they like the game
4. Say they LOVE the game
5. Claim it to be a remastered version of The Sims 1
6. Say it was a complete failure that no one will remember, and that it will die
Do you think it was a failure, a disappointment that will probably get better via expansions and patches, or think its a good game?

But I definitely need more than the basegame and what we have now to keep me interested. If I only had to play TS3 basegame for 5 years I would have been bored as well.
I enjoy it a lot, so to me, I guess it is a good game. To me, it's a very good game!
I like the game and do not see it as a failure.
This.
As for whether it's a financial success for EA, not a single one of us has info to determine that from. Nada. Zilch. Playing guessing games about that is pointless.
Ea made a lot of mistakes with this game.. firstly by releasing it too early. They should work on this game for 2, 3 years more.. then it would be a good game. Secondly.. they released a game with half of content added and overpriced it. Thirdly, when they saw that it didn't work they made a couple of really bad decision which instead of helping caused more havoc and distrust..
Now.. even if I am still hopeful.. I am more disappointed... so I do find this game to be a failure. I might change my mind if they change a management and finally face the customers and sort out the mess they created:))
Anyway I do agree with @Gabe_oz .. we have plenty of threads like this ))

What do you think?
I think it's good, and that it is not a failure (it's a disappointment at worst,) but DEFINITELY needs expansions and patches. I have spent almost 40 hours into it and I never got bored.

Expansion packs should be there to enhance a game that's already good/great and that can stand on its on. Not provide crutch support for a game that's about to topple over. Especially when those packs cost $40.
Oh & I don't think its a failure but it needs a lot of work.
Totally agree. I'm having an awesome time right now and can't wait to see what's coming.
And second: no, I don't think it's a failure because lots of people seem to love and enjoy it. For me it's been a disappointing experience so far, somehow the game can't hold my attention and doesn't 'grab' me like its predecessor does. That doesn't make it a failure in general though.
