(Pre-LGR) The Sims 3 Quick Review - Top 5 Reasons To Buy

Ойындар

This is a short review of The Sims 3 by EA and "The Sims" Division. I have put together an abbreviated review (not covering ALL aspects) focusing on the top 5 reasons to buy The Sims 3 - if you've played the earlier games and didn't like them or just don't know much about it, this will give you my reasons to go and give this one a shot.
Though in all fairness, I only list pros here - there are certainly cons. Look me up on The Sims Exchange under phreakindee.
Predecessor to my Lazy Game Reviews
I've been having people ask what computer specs I used to record this, and they are as follows:
AMD Athlon X2 4600+
512MB nVidia GeForce 8800GT
2GB DDR-800 RAM
Windows XP SP3

    Welp Sims 5 is coming so get ready. Neither be disappointing again or life changing. But yeah I think EA will bring back open world and insane customization from 3, then add fan requested features. I don't think performance is an issue now since tech has gone up over time like 6 years. So who knows, sims 5 could come on top.

    Moonwalked? Moonwalking is graceful, interesting, it's not going backwards, it's advancing splendidly into an unknown tomorrow. EA climbed a mountain, propelling the bolder of their greed up it with them as they attempted to push their product. But with a graceless, clumsy misstep they broke their ankle, slipped and were crushed beneath their bolder, its jagged surface digging into their flesh and driving them mad with lust for money with the agony as they were rolled down with it into the tar and slag filled pit at the base of Hill Profit known only as the quagmire of Fuck Konami. It is here they dwell, gulping the foeted slime of the bog. Drinking it down and distending their fat, sore gut with the vile black oil, harvesting chins off of the weakness of whale gamers until the sludge seeps from the holes of their body from the pressure building up within them. They have only our contempt and disgust. But in banishment to this space, they are contented. There is no justice here.

    As much as I still enjoy Sims 2 for its nostalgic factor, the open world, traits system, and customization are what drew me to 3. I've been playing since 2009 and I swear, it never gets old, because with so many options, the replay value is pretty much infinite. And I don't even have all the expansions -- although I'll be catching up on them, now that prices are coming down. Sims 4 looks nice and all, but with all the work and expansions I've put into my 3 game, switching to 4 would feel like a downgrade right now, so I'm sticking to Sims 3 for a few more years yet. It's a good game that can keep you hooked for over five years!

They actually go home and sleep. I love hanging out at the gym/wellness center, and seeing the other AI actually interact with everything that you use (fridge, chairs, swimming pool, workout machines, etc.). Too bad that The Sims 4 wasn't open world.

    My two favourite features in TS3 were the open world concept and total customisation. So that's what broke TS4 for me- it took away the features that revolutionised The Sims. Really, it's like they got lazy and dumbed down the game. If you've never played TS3 before you're probably gonna be like, "OMG THIS IS AWESOME" but if you have, you'll just feel like it's too small of a canvas, too tight of a world, and too unjustifiable of a price.

    raras889 First off, sims 4 isn't even finished. Second of all, that's recreating sims 3. Every sims game is supposed to be different in some way. You can get graphics cards and cartridges to have better graphics and even download some sims 4 mods for your game. There are many different ways to make it better. EA is adding cats and dogs soon and I'm pretty sure seasons.

I can't believe I totally skipped over it. Compared to TS4's complete lack of soul, this is such a breath of fresh air. Admittedly, TS4 has superior building mechanics. But as far as live mode is concerned? TS3 really takes the cake. I vote for a resurgence of this game to show EA where they can stick it.

    Watching this after ten years and I have to say I still love this game. The open world was great, the create a style feature was awesome, the RPG elements in this game were good addition. Compare this with Sims 4, which not only removed the open world and create a style, but also upped the RPG elements to a quests-of-a-sort especially on things like dates, or parties or the Seasons EP holidays, where you are clearly told what you have to do to be successful and the game doesn't even feel like a sandbox strategy simulation of life anymore. They also added for a silliness in Sims 4. Don't get me wrong, The Sims games always had their share of silliness and most of the time, I liked that. But in Sims 4, they overdid it and the game is way too silly for my liking. And don't get me start with toddlers that aren't even toddlers anymore. Overall, Sims 3 was and still is the best of The Sims series in my opinion. Sims 2 had its good features too, some of which I miss to these days (like the most realistic toddlers, or the penguins in Seasons EP) and I still like to play it from time to time. Sims 1 was first and as such, there's a nostalgic feeling to it and nothing before to compete with. It surely set the path for next generations and we always should be tankful for that. However, The Sims 4 was the first big disappointment to the series for me to the point where I decided not to support it anymore and that's sad for me a devoted Sims player since 2000.

    I played The Sims 4 with a few of the best expansion and game packs installed, and even though I like the game I was getting bored with it. So I scrambled up the money to get The Sims 3 Starter Pack (includes the base game, High-End Loft Stuff, and Late Night) off of Origin and also The Sims 3 Generations. Although there were parts about The Sims 3 that I didn't like (longer loading screens, not that great graphics, not a lot of hairstyles or clothing to choose from, etc) it was definitely better overall (has the color wheel/create a style, has more traits and aspirations to choose from, a great soundtrack). But the best part is the gameplay. It felt so alive. Without me even making the Sims do anything, two of the girls were having a pillow fight, some of the guys were telling jokes to each other, a couple was cuddling on their bed, just stuff like that. It is such a great game

    The Sims 3 was epic advancement for The Sims, the open world was amazing and made the game so much more immersive. Then The Sims 4...the only better thing is the graphics...and still I don't think they're that AMAZING compared to TS3. I'm just way over TS4, it wouldn't bother me if they scrapped any future plans for it and focussed on The Sims 5, as I don't think there's anything that's going to put it on the same level as TS3.Now I'm just waiting for another Skylines/Planet Coaster style remake of the Sims....Or here's to hoping that EA really step up their game and absolutely nail The Sims 5...

    @@jeromealday614 Emotion in The Sims 4 is more like a mood swing, I'm sure they're read behaviorist work (aka stimulus-response principle) before implementing the emotion system. And more like showing different animation, rather than situatedness in which I can relate to my sims (for example the furious system in TS 2 Nightlife, and TS 3 negative moodlet from witnessing death of other sim, it's persist and can't be overcome simply by having high aspiration or mood meter, the sims itself would express his/her feeling accordingly at anytime and it's makes you want to give an aid, it can't simply ignored untill its wear off. Emotion, especially emotional aura ruining this experience for me, it jus not work) Multitasking? Nope. The Sims 3 already more managable than TS 2. My low end Toshiba laptop can handle it up to 3 expansion, tweaked with Nraass' mod to smoothing up and its fine. My friend mid end Asus can handle it without laging at all, at high graphic.
