Despite how much I have personally bashed the game, there's still a part of me that wants it and wants it badly. I've seen pictures and videos of it, and so far it looks fairly good, despite everything that has been removed, re-done. I dare say i can even live without most of what has been taken out.
I'm probably just gonna ARRRR it and see how I like it, and then see if I want to fork over the cash.
Probably will be my plan as well. Apparently it's been getting bad reviews so far but whatever. I'll get it tomorrow when my internet is back in swing.
I love how they attempted to combat the piracy with pixelation.
Looks like EA are doing everything to nuke the pirates since all the links are down.
If anyone comes up with something reasonable while they get theirs, hook me up on PM. I don't feel like searching around for something I'm not overly excited about.
So far a bunch of links either are gone or they aren't very good. I'm hoping thee will be a fully cracked one coming out soon, but I guess we just gotta play the waiting game for now. Or get rich. I'd like to be rich.
That's pretty much my plan. I'll probably wait it out until there's some kind of double deluxe pack that includes the base game and the expansion that fixes everything.
THIS is what I was waiting for to fully determine whether to get the game or not. LGR's reviews are always great and unbiased, and he cuts right to the chase without auger coating anything. I'm going to do what he recommends and just wait until the price drops. I'm going to be buying some upgrades for my computer anyway, and I'll need them for what EA has shown as the recommended computer specs.
^ Pretty much. Almost everyone is saying wait the price out and get it when it's worth maybe around 40 bucks. That's what Sims 3 cost when it first came out.
I've finally got a working one and have fucked around with it for about an hour.
It's not terrible. I actually like the small neighborhoods since it gives balance where you do have freedom to move around, but the whole world isn't moving with you and causing everything to get messy as it often did in Sims 3, especially when some idiot AI or their car got stuck somewhere. It's also really fluid as far as multi-tasking goes. Conversation has always been really annoying in The Sims since you have to drop literally everything to do stuff other than chat. But here you can do most normal interactions while doing other stuff.
Not a fan of the new HUD at all but I may get use to it. Emotions are kind of meh as far as being the most hyped aspect of the game but I haven't really gotten anything other than happy stuff so far.
I haven't really played long enough to get a true grasp of it, but first impression is pretty good. Then again I went into this with awful expectations. I would never pay $70 for this though, that is outrageous.
