  • The Sims 4 is not quite a fan favorite. It is disappointing that they may be working on it for another 5-10 years

    There’s no way what they had in store for Sims 5 would have pleased the fans disappointed by Sims 4.

    Sims 4 was already a last minute attempt to correct course of something those fans never asked for. An always online multiplayer skinner box, probably barely simulating anything at all. They only shifted when the terrible SimCity 2013 crashed and burned.

    It was too little, too late, Sims 4 at release ended up the most incomplete release a Sims game ever had and even after many updates is still the most boring experience you could have with the series. Even the bugs are not the entertaining kind.

    Guaranteed, Sims 5 was going to try more of what Sims 4 was supposed to be.















  • Saw that game on Vinesauce not too long ago. If that version was close to the final product, it doesn’t look very fun to play to be honest.

    They made absurd unskippable flashy animations for powering up, which happen every time. Imagine if Mario needed mushrooms every 10 seconds, and that animation was about 3 times longer.

    Also the beginning of the game has a tutorial guy literally appearing and interrupting the action at least a dozen times to tell you how to jump/fight and what the various items do. It looks very much like a simple platform beat’m up.

    Some power up items can’t even be used at the time you find them/with the character you chose, but they still drop, and trying to pick those up by mistake also interrupts the game to tell you so. Every time.
