Has there ever been a "good" sims game?
There has been plenty of popular ones, but an actual "good" sims game?
I'm struggling with that one.

I've been wishing someone would try and compete with The Sims for ages now. Right now, they know they don't gotta do squat because there is literally no alternative..
Not a surprise at all. The Sims 3 was missing a shitload of features at launch too,
Exactly. Anyone that knows about this and still buys the game day 1 to find it a bug ridden piece of shit lacking content deserves it, IMO. Not that EA should put out a game like this, but we all know it happens.Daily reminder that don't buy this game Day 1.
Well I'm expecting reviews to carry the tone of 'yea there are some things missing but the game is still really good 8/10'. And EA probably knows that this is one of their franchises that is most immune to reviews or forum criticism from a sales point of view, so they don't much care beyond that.

Well, to be fair, a "bug ridden experience" is par for the course with The Sims. It's like they got bored with corrupting save files after making sure all save files would eventually self-destruct in Sims 2, so they decided to go for style points.Exactly.

I mean you no ill, really, but watching you struggle against the inevitable has been fairly entertaining. This must be some kind of Sisyphean punishment for something you've done in your previous life. Good luck, and keep a stiff upper lip.There's no way the base game of the Sims 4 will flop. It's a mainline The Sims game, way too much brand loyalty there. What's going to be interesting is who the expansion packs do, because only games that people keep playing will sell expansions.
Well, time to revise the text for the Sims 4 OT. Again. Would you believe i actually had a variant of the Reviews header done in advance for a situation like this? Didn't actually expect to need it, but there you go.
And Battlefield
And Dead Space
And Dragon Age
Oh, I have a black enough sense of humor to find this all terribly hilarious myself. This was my most anticipated game this year and look at it. Even if the half that's left turns out good, it's still only half the game I expected it to be.That doesn't bode well.

(Also, I agree with your assessment regarding The Sims 4 sales. The game is just too big to fail out of the gates.)
What could the competition offer that would make regular Sims fans go "hmm, maybe I'll buy THAT other game this time"? I mean, apart from having things previous Sims had and The Sims 4 doesn't...
I knew teens were the same height as adults, and I kinda figured that'd make them look similar...but never did I expect there would be absolutely NO visible difference. But now I find out that elder's look exactly the same too, only with gray hair? Jesus. I know elders were kind of an ignored life stage, but they at least made the effort to give them a hunch, wrinkles. etc to make them look the part. I can't believe this.

It only means the game will be great all around, please trust EA :^)
Equal acess is all we asked for r-right? No more pesky reviewers getting their dirty hands on glorious Sims before us.
They aren't features, they are bugs. Bugs gotta be removed.

EA happened.Any word on what happened during development that explain all the missing/dumbed down features ?
Perhaps also a little sad that they didn't get to do an exclusive review.Looks like there'll be no The Sims 4 reviews until after it's out. EA tells me no one's getting access ahead of release. I'm nervous.
All the ones I've played are pretty good.Has there ever been a "good" sims game?

...who buys EA or Bethesda games on the first day?

"Performance" for half of it. Honestly sounds like they are targeting a lower spec system than Sims 3.
I preordered Sims 4. Over a year ago I preordered it. The digital deluxe version. I'm a huge Sims fan and I'm fairly forgiving to EA. This is my origin from 8 months ago. (I've added a bunch of popcap stuff via humble bundle but thats all thats missing)
This may end up being my last EA game if its screwed up as bad as it seems.
Wait, how'd you get the Sims 1 complete collection and Alpha Centauri on that list?
RIP in peace.
Edit: Holy crap.

Just like the movie industry, if the game was actually good the developer would be screaming it from the rooftops, instead of standing behind a "no review until after launch" facade.
Erm yes. Just because they seem casual doesn't mean they're bad.

Do people not realize that RIP stands for "rest in peace"? You're literally saying rest in peace in peace.LOL out loud.
