Scrolling through Sims 4 Facebook Comments and...

But, from what I'm hearing, people are liking the game, it's just buggy which is normal I think (sims 3 anyone?)
And i did enjoyed playing the sims 3 base game because it was complete, having no toddlers will be weird.
And the thing with base games is that we are used with having everything from the previous "era" so not having certain things that we liked and were used to using may become boring after the whole excitement part stops, but that's what EPs are for.

Like disappointed and mad about the outcome of the game.
So far people are saying the following:

Kristy H.
"Seems like way more people hate this game than like it. I was bummed out because I can't buy it until next payday. I didn't have the money to pre-order it. Now I'm glad. It is seems more expensive than I was expecting and it might not be worth the price. Maybe I'll even wait a while and see if the base price goes down eventually. Not sure I want the game without the create a style feature."


Tia S.
"
My sims 4 paused during installation and won't let me resume it unless I buy something!!!???!!! WTC???? I paid enough money for it already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! disappointed"


Cam R,
"
Why are the neighborhoods so small? And the lots? Everything is tiny. It's like you guys have took a giant step back into The Sims 1, or 2? This game was hyped so much. I could have handled the weird neighborhood layout had there been more empty lot availability, or maybe neighborhood expansions. Could you guys please enlighten us on what your plans are? Because as of now you're going to be losing sales. I think if you told us what you plan on doing with the game in the future, you could possibly hold onto customers. But as of now, myself, and several others I know are greatly disappointed."

After the long wait I find this version of the sims a big let down i will stick with the sims 3 to me it seem's like they took the game back a few steps to many things are missing

and so on....


I found ONE person who was happy with the game. It made a 14 year old girl cry...no kidding...

What is going on?

Back to the Sims 4, it is just so hyped up, that it's not that exciting once you play it. Plus you have your expectations so high, the game was meh to my expectations. I played it more and enjoy it a bit more now, it honestly just takes getting used to. I'm also a bit upset like everyone else, going from a full open world to having to visit all lots. You can still talk to people on the sidewalks though. I am a little disappointed, but it's not that bad. It's not the horror stories with bugs everyone keeps saying, at least for me. I haven't ran into a single bug yet and I've played practically all day. Although I never had bugs with the Sims 3, maybe I'm just a lucky one.  I'm glad they added bars and tattoos and stuff though, LOL they had to add a few things for taking out toddlers and pools. I agree though, it kind of feels like 70% sims 2 and 30% sims 3. They did take a couple steps back, but loading time is substantially different in The sims 4. (Maybe because it's vanilla?) Unfortunately EA being EA will prob just add everything we miss in future expansions. Overall, I enjoy it. Was it worth $70? No. But I still bought it because we simmers always will get sims some way XD. I'm definitely waiting on the G4TW expansions though. 

The fact that you were able to play with less bugs (probably) means that you were able to update your purchased game, with this "day one patch". Those that want to pirate the game will have a huge problem in this respect, as it appears (at this point) that...this update can only be retrieved via Origin. We're looking into that, but this doesn't exactly fall under the category "good news for pirates", to put it mildly.

Hey Tabby,

Wow, is it that bad ? Well, I guess you can't expect anything, anymore...

I wasn't complaining. How can i complain about something i haven't played yet. I was simply showing what people are saying about the game so far. So far it has been mostly been negative and i did say i found a positive remark.

There are people that i have posted here, who have played the game , who have given both positive and negative criticism. But you all have agreed on things. Researching through the remarks of others. Nothing wrong with that.

Harmless chit chat. Nothing more.

I knew you were only reporting what others said.    My post before was only intended to express surprise, on my part.   While I didn't really expect that much from the game, I'm still surprised because the majority of people don't seem to be too happy, mildly said.

That being said, this game isn't worth $40 and certainly not $70.  If anyone was hyped for it ,that was your own fault, it has been clear for months now this game has nothing new going for it, and a huge lack of new features.  The lack of open world is quite weird.  Maybe i'll be happy this game runs smooth like butter, that might help my enjoyment a little, but loading screens just go to cross the street?  That's crazy.

Oh no, I never said you were complaining . I was saying that people should go into The Sims 4 with an open-mind. That's ll.

from what i am reading there are more bad stuff than good, on ea forums it's all lollipop and rainbows because they delete consumer feedbacks that may impact on their sales, from what i see it's a game that has a lot of potential, now it's not for me to judge because i didn't play the game yet but who knows? maybe it's true, maybe it's not, we'll just have to see.

Carlos...you see my Avatar right....I'm gonna get you.

In that case, I will patiently await my inevitable fate.
