The Sims 4.

Jazzro wrote:Hello Community and all, In this review I will be discussing some of my opinions on the new game Sims 4

Cons:

2. The game isnt a whole map, its disected in to parts, so if you want to go to the park you'll need to load into another map. (doesnt load any faster, some argue it's good some say it's bad, I mean come on don't you want to hover around the town to spy on what sims is doing what at all in the public?)
(...)
6. No goal in the whole entire game,

Jazzro wrote:Thank you Carlos for replying, maybe i kinda was just over a bit on my head not thinking properly, as I found that the game did somewhat disappoint me a bit, because I thought it would be basically Sims 3 with a new layout and extra features, but instead they revamped the whole game, and cut so many features out, letting me a bit down  

Oh, and when i meant goal i meant like your aspiration and mastering a skill leading to good rewards. 

It is true that it loads a bit faster than loading the whole map, but it doesn't feel like it did make the game run smoother nor faster, so what would be the difference in just making it is separate bits? I mean come on I had to load, to get to the guy's house next to me... really???

But what really infuriates me is that the lack of features and items, feel like EA is going to some crappy DLC's again like Gnerations (includes toddler now!) or some summer beach stuff pack (NOW WITH POOLS!)

OK, I see.   Yes, it appears to be indeed a crappy game then.

kevin56656 wrote:Well obviously it has less features than the sims 3 which is of course disappointing, i personally love the cartoonish graphics over the sims 3, the faces show so much emotion not like those lifeless doll like faces in sims 3, ofc its buggy right now it just got released , honestly i think people had their expectations set a lil too high, j personally am enjoying the sims 4, but anyways ull probably like it later when they update it a little and add some eps,  i have to go to work now, so dont expect me to reply in like 10 hours

Just a small note: I moved the topic to "Game Reviews".

1. Boring, I didn't find it engaging nor interesting at all.

(doesnt load any faster, some argue it's good some say it's bad, I mean come on don't you want to hover around the town to spy on what sims is doing what at all in the public?)
3.When your Sim goes to work, you can't check his status can't do anything (sims 3 had chances at work where you could choose) Very shallow progression in jobs.
4. Boring Careers, less careers than Sims 3
5. Dull and less items (COME ON NO DISHWASHERS OR HOT TUBS, NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!)
6. No goal in the whole entire game,
7. GAME KEEPS CRASHING
8. GAME HAS BUGS
9. No skill Books
10. Less skills to master, which is just sigh.....
11. So many less features (e.g. toodlers, pools and FAMILY TREEES?????)

So this is just my opinion so feel free to discuss after you played it! Hope you enjoy it better than I did!

not too worried about the pros since we all have different tastes. more focused on your cons.
(i'm waiting for the game).

2. loading screens. so does that mean I can't walk to the park or to my neighbor/friends house anymore? it's now like the other sims where it would load and then poof i'm at their house? if this is the case. I'm not playing sims 4. -.- i loved this feature in sims 3.


3. that kind of sucks. I expect it's because there will be something like "ambitions" coming out with all these "new" old features.

4. careers were a plus. Sometimes I just wanted to be the millionaire who threw parties all the darn time. other times i was just a nobody at some dead end job hoping to meet the one. so it doesn't bother me just yet.

5. meh. i see this as a "look we have new items" pack in the future.
6. we don't have a lifetime wish anymore?
11. cashgrab expansions again. "generations" expansion. i'm sure is what happened. but NOOOO! why no family tree?

Jazzro wrote:Oh hi,

2. Well you can go to the park meet up with your neighbors and friends all that is accessible, but the map is smaller and if you want to go to a neighbors, it'll go into another loading screen, and you are restricted in that lot unless you  load to another map/lot.

3. Yea same, but was a bit disappointing

5. So true

6. i crossed it out, there are life aspirations and goals, when i meant goals i meant more ways of living and playing, like having more things to do, the careers paths don't productive that, so that why i meant lack of goal


11. EA is getting more and more ridiculous

Opinion: IF you are going to buy it, torrent it first then try it, you might find it a lot different to SIMS 3, SO DIFFERENT, and its 90 dollars for the deluxe edition for all I stated above, so don't buy it and regret it, try it first, if might not be as bad as i stated, but what i said above were clearly neutral statements from the gameplay i experienced

If we look from torrenters, I mean the people that play game for free, game is ridiculous  I am loving it so far, multitasking, emotions and stuff.
But when we look from the customer side, 40$ for this base game with not even pools and toddlers? Nope. I wouldnt buy it.
