I'm glad to see an honest review of the game. I haven't played The Sims since the base version of TS2 and have been curious about how the game has come along. Looks like getting TS3 is the way to go.
More like, "When we get it a little bit wrong (which is getting a lot wrong by most reasonable standards), we continue doing it wrong, make decisions that exacerbate the problem even further, and when we finally decide to fix something, we do it very slowly if at all and find ways to deflect blame to the consumer."
It looks like it was designed for a tablet or smartphone and is a real eyesore on a monitor. Everything is big, bloated and slow. Don't know why it was necessary to go and change something that was neat, organized and looked nice.
Bullshit reading on this one is off the charts! MS never fails to disappoint when it comes to flip flopping and creating PR nightmares for themselves. Perhaps MS should forget about making electronics altogether and enter politics.
Offline or not, there really is no reason to play this stripped down version of SimCity..Adding offline mode would be a small step in improving the game; only massive gameplay improvements to give the game depth would make it a worthwhile entry in the series.
That thing is absolutely hideous and trackpads are uncomfortable and imprecise in my opinion. I can't see myself replacing a traditional controller with this one and kb/m will always be better. Still, it's nice to see Valve being creative and innovative and trying to push the gaming industry forward. It will definitely be interesting to see how this turns out in the end.
What is this idiot politician getting all worked up about? The vast majority of people would not even make the connection, and I'm pretty sure that those who would make the connection are smart enough not to base their perceptions off of a video game. Some people may not be that smart, but I'm pretty sure that everyone knows better than to base their perceptions of reality off of GTA rofl.
