HOW THE FUCK IS THAT AN IMPROVEMENT?

Even it was horribly done in Sims 3 at least the idea behind it is great. The neighborhood feels more alive, you see your neighbors' story progress and cars are relevent.
So instead of optimizing the open neighborhood idea they remove it and call that improvement.

I dunno man, but it's not as if pools were a big deal anyway. They'll probably be added through DLC later on for a very reasonable price.

The main reason I have little interest in this game is because a lot of DLC will be made for them like they all have.

The main problem with that is the games are so insanely sensitive that if you basically install a new DLC your entire installation can break and you might have to delete everything and start from scratch.

Shit's so fucking laggy. Sometimes it gets so slow that simply turning the camera causes it to not respond for like 5 seconds and suddenly turn it.

You should try the sims 2. It's easy to pirate and install. Doesn't take a supercomputer to run well. In general it's better than The Sims 3 which tries to do so much that it just fails at. The only catch is like any other sims game it takes a ton of HDD space and therefore it's a very big download.

I played the pirated base game for about as long as I could stomach it, which was until I saw all it had to offer. No expansions were out at that point.

Later I bought Sims 3 complete but never actually played or even installed it.

That said, I really can't imagine the game running terribly for anyone considering just how budgeted my old rig was at the time I was playing.

How the fuck was Sims 2 better again? I think you faggots are simply being nostalgic.

>No water house that you can transport and move around in the ocean like in the Sims 3. Even park it in the middle of the water and travel in waterboats in and out of your house.
>No Mermaid waifus that you can catch, have sex with, and even impregnate.
>Loading time is horrendous, seeing only one household slot made things terribly lonely and didn't feel like you were living in a community or neighborhood.
>Lacks the exploration that you get in Sims 3 like taking a quick stroll anywhere in the map, even small graveyards, instead of being forced to visit a lot and its limit border
>You can genuinely make fat sims and have them lose all the weight later on in the story, instead of just a Sim with a beerbelly.
>Diagonal building and placing things diagonal instead of leaving an empty fucking wall like in the Sims 2.

Need I say more??

Well they make casual games.

Casual Sims players won't care for any of this.
Casual Sports games, casual racing games, casual RPGs with Bioware, Casual FPS with DICE, Casual RTS with whatever the fuck is left of CnC, CASUAL EVERYTHING.

And casuals don't care for fucking standards or anything really. They play games casually. They buy a 60$ game and play it for 10 hours and then in one year they maybe remember it and play it again a few hours.

Just go online and look at steam achievements. See how many people finished their games and on what difficulty. You can also do this on PSN now.

Like 70% of the people that buy gmaes never actually finish them.

EA games business strategy:

>Fund outside talent, outside talent create good original game.
>You funded the original version, you own the rights to all the sequels.
>Get rid of the sucker that made the original game, give project to idiot that will just do what management tell him to do it.
>All sequels cost less to make but will still sell the same because of idiots that follow brand/franchise loyality.
>Kill franchise, hence and repeat.

There's a breast slider in AA2.
Also for waist and figure.

The "breast slider" probably has more configuration options than the Space Shuttle.
Everything from color and texture to areola sizes, roundness, plumpness, bounciness, direction of the nipples and cleavage...

it just goes on.

I will say the butt options are lacking though.

It is actually quite understandable though. I borrowed a PS3 and played some of the heavy advertiseda and "good" but not super good games. And honestly, they were all so boring I did not finish one of them.
If a casual that are not that into gaming will play these games, I completely understand why he/she would just stop playing, the games are just not fun. They buy up the hype and the advertisement and then they actually play it and realize they are not having fun, and repeat.

Sims 4 is doing everything I want, frankly. The complete open world was pointless. The art style is far nicer, I never used create a style.

That said, I never buy Sim games on release, I always wait for a sale or bundle pack. But I guess if you're going to buy it day one then you could complain about lack of features. Your own fault though.

Its magic anon. If a game is 64bit it runs flawlessly and is 100% (proved by science) better.

It doesn't make much difference. You can access more ram, but for a game like this you wouldn't get anything out of it. Sims 3 REALLY could have done with being 64bit, but Sims 4 doesn't have the ram-hogging bullshit of its "realistic" style or open world.

In short the people complaining about it are faggots.

>>
>>258357006
You're not addressing the core complaint.

The devs saw tons of lag, so rather than make a better game to keep open world with no lag, they did away with open world entirely to reduce lag. It was a lazy move that sacrificed one pro for another.

I'm surprisingly excited for Sims 4. I mean, like the other games I won't buy it so it's not like I feel cheated.

Pretty much all the features that are gone I never used or I don't mind are gone.

I mean, if I was a fan or panning to buy it I would be pissed. But Sims have always been a series I've just played for a weekend every other year.

And I like the artstyle.

I just hope there will be a decent mod community.

>>258366803
Well. Again. I don't really care. As I said, the Sims is a pretty boring series. It's fun for a weekend and it's about that. My expectation are so low already that I just don't care because I will play if for a few days, then forget about it. Then next year, I will do the same.

Sure, those few days might be fairly enjoyable, but it's still just Sims. It's like getting angry ad CoD. I just don't care anymore. The only difference is, I can at least get some enjoyment from Sims still.

There's no excuse for it I agree. EA is being fucking mongoloid retarded jews and they should get all hate for it. I just don't care.

So I remain strangely exited for a few days of kinda having fun. Maybe this time I might actuality be able to run it for more than half an hour without it crashing. Probably not.

I don't think anyone should buy The Sims 4. If fact, I think doing so makes you disgusting.

The latest Sims content I bought was the Sims 2 the base game because I was young and didn't know what torrenting was, and I see no reason to change that. Even if the were making a good Sims game.

Also. Just for fun. These are the features that I can actually see myself getting a bit upset about:

Actually. I hope it will be. Sims is one of EA's biggest cash cows. There is no way they would ever let it go that easy.

Also, there was the kinda recent Sims Medieval game + pirate expansion which didn't do too well. It didn't completely bomb but the Medieval side of franchise is pretty much dead right now.

But it still has the possibility of flopping badly.

The people in Maxis sounds like a bunch bad programmers and coders, because they are so bad at getting pas these "technical limitations" that TS3 was plagued with that they had to remove a shit ton of features originally present in TS3.

Oh, and wasn't there something like The Sims: Castaway or something? Remember it being a bit like Medieval. Fucking great idea but it just wasn't fun to play.

Well. Yes. And it flopping badly will make EA(hopefully) take a step back and see what made it flop, and fix it for the next release.

Not sure there have been a proper sequel to BF yet. If anything, Hardline shows us that the real BF team might be taking a step back and actually doing some proper work this time. Having another team creating a spin off as to not let the brand get some well deserved rest.

If you were hinting on BF3 then it sold ridiculously well.

The character creator is an improvement over the previous one but it's still not nearly good enough. If they'd make it more flexible there'd be entertainment value in just getting any character or person I want into the game to do stupid dumb sim shit, but in it's current state it's very limited. There's a couple of instances where it's just fine, like if you try to make this character >>258369929

Because removing features that were in the past few games just to sell as DLC is fucking disgusting.

It would a nice gesture of them to add something that's been a DLC in every sim (like pets or vacations) till now in the base game, instead of remove shit that used to be in the base game.

But this is EA we're talking about. Which is why the game is going to be shit.

More than half of the shit mentioned in (>>258357013 >>258357104 >>258357180 >>258357254) was already in the base Sims 3 game. The patches didn't add as much as people think. Some Expansion packs didn't even have build mode additions.

Some stuff even had workarounds, basements didn't even come till ambitions yet you could still create your own with terrain tools, foundations and modular stairs.

>>258356101

Yeah, a majority of that "blog" makes complaints about features that are always added in Expansions.
A couple base-game features are gone, but for past games they freely updated the game with some things.

Though I still get the feeling a majority of expected content will be tossed into Expansion packs (ie, pools, toddlers, etc.). But I don't plan to buy them anyway.
>>
>>258374157
If anyone is wondering, yes it is that bad. I've already seen a number of simguru's (EA employed moderators) actually telling people to download NRaas mods and not wait out on a fix when they have problems. That should be fucking embarrassing for a game company having its employees saying stuff like that yet EA doesn't give a shit.

All this cut content makes me think they were originally going for a Sim City "always online" kind of deal with the Sims 4, but when Sim City totally backfired on their asses they had to panic and hack the game to pieces just to get it to work.

Also, look at this fucking neighborhood screen. Absolutely disgusting.

I dunno when it started getting okay to cut large swathes of old features out of the new games.

I remember being annoyed with Civ V for all the shit missing initially, and I hate that I had to buy two expansions to get back to anywhere near the functionality of IV.

Then when Diablo 3 shit on customers, I kept seeing people saying "Diablo 2 sucked until LoD added a bunch of features!" I just feel like new games in a series should BUILD on the previous iterations...not take a year and 5 DLCs to get up to par.

Oh and fuck Simcity too. And fuck Sims 4

So I assume with this neighborhood lot thing
they fixed that problem with the sims 3 where
if you go to an empty public lot
after awhile the whole town basically shows up there and throws a party and act like its just a normal lot

it was really off putting, especially if it was for a junkyard or graveyard

>>258376121
Well if they had it for Sims 3, it would have fixed almost all of the save corruption and a lot of the crashing issues (mostly caused by hitting the ram limit, especially during saving). EA doesn't want to do it because they would either have to maintain a 32-bit exe or lose out on 32-bit sales, which could effect sales so its guaranteed they never do it (that is until 32-bit computers no longer exist).

Why don't EA just release both a 32 bit and 64 bit copy?

Daily reminder that The Sims with Expansions/DLC (which are a necessity, because devs cut out things that should be in the base game by now (like seasons)) is probably one of the more expensive games in the market.

And it is buggy as hell, bad optimized and requires Origin to work.
>>
>>258379073
Theres nothing about The Sims 4 that looks shitty though, all the features included in the game are massive improvements over The Sims 3, lots of good streamlining, 7 second area loads etc. lets face it, Sims is looking to be the game of the year for 2014 and will be talked about for years to come just like the first game was.

Pirating wouldn't solve anything. To a corporate suit, in their mindset, it means that you want the game really badly and more DRM should be in place to restrict you from stealing it.

Rather then pirate it, why not just don't play it at all?

Don't pirate it at all. Pirating just tells the investors that you WANT the game. Just ignore that it ever existed.

I do want the game, I don't really care if they know that.

I want the game for free is all.

>>258380158
It will still be successful no matter how bad it is. If they literally just took the Android/iPhone Sims game and ported it to PC, badged it SIMS 4 and slapped on a $60 pricetag, it would still sell really well. The target audience is terribly uninformed.
