Sim City 5 (2013) - Sim<parameter: string>

[Ohemgee]

I can't think of too many games that were really hyped up before release then suck badly when they released in the past few years.

I mean, I guess you could say stuff like Resident Evil 6, DmC and maybe Aliens.

Its all subjective though so I guess its really tough to say for sure either way.

SWTOR. Spore. Dragon Age II. Skate

See a pattern?

Yeah, don't get me wrong, EA has made some really crap games in the last little while. Only one of their games I really play anymore is Dead Space. I own all the Mass Effects but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Most their other games don't interest me. Well, Ive been meaning to play Alice Madness Returns, lol.

Someone needs to help me go through rehab so I can break my Sims addiction.

I mean I still haven't gotten the Katy Perry or University expansions....and I want them....but fuck EA...even the Sims games are such cash grabs it makes me puke....but...but...Katy Perry...

[Lucavi]

What, so you like Katy Perry?

You shouldn't get the Katy Perry expansion pack because the only thing she's good for is tits and the sims never has those in abundance outside of mods.

There. Thank me later.

Bigger flaws, such as the removal of actual governance and budget in favor of manufacturing-based economies make the already broken game extremely boring, should you choose one of the few "routes" that actually functions as designed (sort of): electronics. Its annoying as all hell to see people making 2-3 million a day selling TVs, while running their town into -45k+ hourly budget deficits. It takes away from being a mayor, and introduces some sort of twisted Government-owned business mentality. Strange for a sim city game, and incredibly boring.

I'm sure the meeting with that decision involved some corporate idiot who saw Anno 2070 and thought they should add some of that in.

[Grey Jorildyn]

Katy Perry is pretty much worthless. Kinda like this game's always-online "feature".

To break it, realize that the Sims 4 is on the horizon, and none of your already-purchased DLC will carry over. It'll be like starting all over in a new MMORPG.

If only. As I have bought all the Sims1, then 2, then 3. That doesn't seem to stop me.


Also @ katy Perry haters, WHO WOULDN'T WANT A HOUSE LIKE THESE?

[Correction]

Then break it by realizing you can't actually eat any of that candy.

[Ksandra]

So?

Don't feel bad, I'm right there with you. To top it off ever since I played the PS2 version which gave you the co-op option (and thusly my friend I invested months into playing it) I've been waiting for a version of it to play with him again. I've manage to avoid most of the expansion packs, but some of them have got me

Was it the 2nd one that had the story mode? I was always upset they didn't do like a full-on story mode game as I loved that one.

Was so sad that the ps3 sims3 pets one is just you playing as the pet.

[TacoTaru]

It was this version of the original Sims. The two player mode was kind of weird at first because it divided the screen up diagonally, but once we got used to it, it was a ton of fun.

[Ohemgee]

I think I said this earlier. I bought the original Sims 3. Never bought the expansions. But I sure as hell enjoy playing them though.

ya that's the one! they have a story mode in that where you start off living in your mom's house, then move to an apt with a filthy roommate, and so on. You had certain challenges you had to meet in order to progress to the next part of the story. I loved it!

OH! I remember that game! I really liked that too! I always had trouble starting off in the regular Sims' starter house families - simply because of the lack of direction (not to mention funds and basic Sim necessities). It was just easier to cheat and get enough money, build your house, then move your Sims in. That "story" mode was done perfectly to give you, the player, enough direction and means to get started from scratch. Plus, it was fun as hell.

[Ksandra]

ya I mean I love the sims and I'm surely an addict about getting all the expansions n' stuff. But it's so open-ended with no real "story" so I tend to play it for a day then forget about it for a month, rinse, repeat.

I think the story mode thing was a good idea that they just never expanded on.
