sims 4 will be fine.. for every person who hates it theres at least 3 that love it.. despite some issues its my favorite sims game of them all.
If going by the agrees and disagrees you got here the ratio is 1:10, for every 1 who disliked the game there are 10 others who liked it!
And I totally agree. Even the rating thread I have done shows that the game is loved more.
Everything I post is an opinion here and I think every post of others is as well.
The 1 star reviews on Amazon.com are also more then double that of the 5 star reviews. In fact, if you take the 1 and 2 star reviews and add them together they are more then triple the 3-5 star reviews. Its at 2.5 on Amazon right now which is about where I am.
I see all sorts of potential for improvements for players and huge profits for EA, so I do not fear for the Sims. I believe the group of players who are sad about Sims 4 will either change their minds or be replaced by new fans who don't know what was to be sad about anyways.
I mean no disrespect to those who are sad, that's their right to feel that way and their feelings matter, but wont make a difference in the whole grand scheme. Some random person who loves a random game that puts out a junky new version that makes them cry and rage quit will soon become a Sims fan, while the ex-Sims fan goes and falls in love with that game the other person dumped.

Sure, but you are basing this on user metrics, which is a measurement that is nebulous at best. Amazon is a bit better since they can track people who at least BOUGHT the game and are reviewing it but whether it's Amazon or Metacritic, there is a startlingly low quality to user scores. People will simply play an hour or two, hate it for something and drop a 0 or 1. In the other end is the user who blindly posts a "top" score either to spite the low scores or because they are being too blinded by the good things to at least be fair in their review to consider what flaws may exist.
Add on to this the amount of people who don't come to the forums or go to post reviews who are generally the ones happily plunking away in game and it can be really hard to definitively answer "Is it bombing or succeeding" until the company posts the sales numbers.
I want a Sims 5 game to exist because The Sims is the only game that has accompanied me through my late childhood and early teenage years to -now- young adulthood. It has become a part of me in a way, a piece of my daily routine. I play to escape from the stress of university and work, to tell stories, to pretend I am the Sim I'm playing... I really can't imagine my life without the progression of The Sims... Yes, I play other games as well and indulge in many other activities apart from gaming, but The Sims hold a really special place in my heart.

I apologize for coming into this thread late as I have been working. I'm not here to talk about the future of The Sims, I believe there is a larger issue that needs to be addressed for the sake of the future of humanity.
I would like to speak directly to all those that responded @lexxsims in regards to their "The best company of america" comment by telling them to go google it:
Kindly please step away from your computers, as I believe googling may be part of the problem. Then go find yourselves a genuine old fashioned paper dictionary (I, myself, like The Oxford Paperback Dictionary), open up to the letter "S" and, for the love of god, look up the word "sarcasm".
Thank you.
This constitutes my good deed for the day. Happy Simming, whatever game iteration you are choosing to play.

Like nobody knows what sarcasm is .
Uh, yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and let your comment speak for itself.
When you have more than one person responding with something akin to "duh, hey wait a minnit, EA isn't the best company in america, they were voted worst, you should look that up. Please tell me about da bunny rabbits again, George" then there's clearly a problem with society somewhere and while it's not my job to police such matters, I would be remiss if I did absolutely nothing.
I hope I'm not sounding rude or condescending, just trying to add a little levity cause, y'know what, for a forum about a game, a lot of people 'round these parts need to lighten up.
I'd give more thoughts about the game but I have not tried it and I'm not optimistic about it however I fully intend to give it a fair chance once it's down to a price that I feel is more in line with what it's worth.
...although it will be awhile before I find it for 10 bucks so maybe a kindly hater can send me the copy they won't be using anymore. *ba dum bump*

This is how the gaming industry actually works.

🐸🐸🐸🐸 and whiners? Oh, you must mean yourself.

They're not worried about it's success.
But on the off chance that Sims 4 doesn't succeed, they'd have no reason to make a Sims 5.
