A couple of my classmates were raving a week ago about how crazy awesome The Sims 4 was, and that actually intrigued me (as someone who played, and evetually hated, The Sims 3), to try it out. Well, I legally bought and downloaded the game from
KickassTorrents The Origin Store, and noticed that this £50 full release title had managed to cut back even the most basic features of the original Sims 3 (even without any expansion packs).
So I decided to compile, off the top of my head, a list of casualties in EA's continued War on consumers.
- Cars
- Infant Age for sims
- Large, seamless, open-world maps
- Create A Style mode for editing clothes, furniture, etc
- Pools
- Buildings which house businesses
- School Buildings
- A couple of careers, including Politics and Law (ffs)
- Newspapers (and the postman who delivered them)
<more coming>
Having seen how bad some of EA's recent releases have been (SimCity, B4 multiplayer, NFS Rivals, Dead Space 3?) ,and the fact that it had been voted 2 years in a row as worst something in the USA by its own customers, I wonder what you guys think about it?
Should EA be crowned as the Ca$hWh0re K1ng?
Should we turn to online piracy in order to say "fuck you" to such publishers?
Is Ubi$oft (or even Activision, who knows?) gonna steal EA's role as "most hated publisher 2k14-15"?
Is everyone who plays The Sims a) homosexual b) female c) a homosexual female?

Should EA be crowned as the Ca$hWh0re K1ng?
"I am not sure, it does not seem as if they are just spewing games all over, trying to make cash. It just seems like they actually want to improve and upgrade earlier games, but are failing horribly at it."
Should we turn to online piracy in order to say "fuck you" to such publishers?
"It most definitely seems like a viable option."
Is Ubi$oft (or even Activision, who knows?) gonna steal EA's role as "most hated publisher 2k14-15"?
"With the games Ubisoft is making now, and the actual quality they have presented, and are presenting now... They might very well go from a very respected, loved even, publisher, to one of the most, perhaps most, hated one. I mean, Assassin's Creed is starting on the path of being an overrated CoD."

"No."

Why is there no "no" option? :(
Should EA be crowned as the Ca$hWh0re K1ng? Yes

Is Ubi$oft (or even Activision, who knows?) gonna steal EA's role as "most hated publisher 2k14-15"? Not a chance
Is everyone who plays The Sims a) homosexual b) female c) a homosexual female? All of the above.

Just gonna throw this out there before anyone does anything stupid:
5. Copyright infringement
We do not tolerate piracy. Anything connected to piracy, warez, cracks, hacks, serial keys and key generators or any other sort of copyright infringement can get you into trouble, regardless of whether you do it directly or indirectly. Infringement of this rule will result in immediate mute and possible ban depending on the severity of the breach. This rule also applies to the unauthorised use of other user's game assets (both from this community and any other). If you wish to use someone else's work in your mod you will need to get their written permission first, preferably alongside some form of proof that you have it.
(It's because I love you guys)
Just give the topic a wide berth, and just say that you won't buy their games instead. It makes things much easier for everyone involved.
-
Point is, he isn't breaking the rules... Yet. he only suggests piracy, but not encouraging or denying it, for that matter. So technically it wouldn't be breaking the rules.

Yet they make games like Valiant Hearts, Rayman Legends & Child of Light.

Avoid the issue of piracy and everyone has a great time.

Can we at least discuss whether piracy should be an appropriate reaction to EA stealing our hard-earned cash? Like, debate online piracy, and its effects. (It's a fine line I know, ty for giving us such a wide berth <3 ) :)

True, but sadly those are smaller, more "niche" titles, for undoubtedly a smaller audience. The big franchises have been on the way down for quite some time :( (AC3 was meh, W_D an overhyped disappointment...) I actually respected Ubi$oft once upon a time...
Why is there no "no" option? :(
True, fixed.

The Sims is so realistic
You eat, shit, and sleep and do some meaningless stuff in between until you die
-
I liked to make a four wall house, line it with ovens, turn them on, put a bunch of babies in, remove the door and let it burn... Sims 2 was the days
-
Every single person that has played a Sims game has at least once killed his sims using either ovens or pools. If you didn't, you haven't played these games like you should have played them.

I killed them with fire. Let them invent stuff (fireworks) and set the house on fire.
Then play a violin competition with the Grim reaper and start all over again.

Having a huge house party, and, at the end, removing all the doors, windows, fridges and ovens from the house is the best way to go. Who knows? the Sims may turn cannibal at the end :)

One of my Sims once died when he simply turned on the radio, he simply got electrified by turning on a faulty electrical device. And it wasn't even intentional.

Lol that kind of shit (when you didnt mean it to happen) pisses me off so much. I mean, a Career Level 8 Astronaut of mine DIED FROM FUCKING LAUGHTER. WHAT THE FUCK :D
-
It's realistic though, you can always die by an accident.
Although dying of laughter is a tad....weird.
-
I need to install that mod which pushes households up to 13 Sims, get everyone to invite their mates to the house, and then have a fetish-y night trying to kill them all :o
-
I just remembered I got the Sims 2 Ultimate Edition on my origin account.

lol ^ The Sims 2 Castaway was nice on PC ;D Six years ago, when it was released. I remember desperately trying to poison or starve every Sim on that island :P
-
Bought Sims 4 legally, played it for 4 days and returned it. Worst fucking game I've ever played.
-
Let's all go back to the Sims Deluxe with the 15 expansions.

#Sims2BestSims
-
No shit there is no features.
It's called publishers making a game bare minimum so they can add "expansions" and DLC later so they get more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
-
The DLC for the Sims is fucking ridiculous.
The only ones I'd pay for are ones that:
-Added really dark shit (ex. You're dude can snap and start mass murdering, you can rape, you can get an abortion, you can kill yourself)
-$40 DLC that makes it so I can see my sims naked and having sex
#realism

Lol I always wondered how good GTA V with some of the Sims' building and social features would be - build a whorehouse youself, invite all your whore friends to it, then snap out the AK and machinegun them bitches in the bathtub. #Fetish

Don't get me too horny

Should I buy the game? I really like the Sims games and loved second and the third one. They did snap ALOT of features from previous games but I can see that I could have fun playing with friends or live streaming it.
-
I'd say stick with the third one. You can probably get all the expansions for a lot cheaper the coming months/years now that Cashcow number 4 has been released.

Multitasking Sims and the new Build options are really, really appreciated, but I suspect that the Sims 3 will offer a more "complete" package, especially with its 5000 expansion packs. However, the Sims 3 with its expansions is about 80-85 GB :D So you better have a fast internet to dl all dat shit :P

So you're talking about a friend sitting next to you while you play the Sims? I thought there was some online co-op mode or something that I missed. xD
