    EA isn't evil because of high prices or microtransactions, no. It's much worse than that.
    In the late 80's, they worked with Bethesda on a sequel to their football game, Gridiron. EA never published the sequel, but they did steal Bethesda's physics code for the game, which was near revolutionary and used it for their own football game. Tell me, does Madden sound familiar?
    Petty things like costs and crap decisions are just dickish. Betrayal of trust is a real sign of evil intent.

      They also nearly bankrupted DoubleFine after the canned Brutal Legend 2. They had spent months working on it which really sucks.

      They don't become teens and then get the option to transition.. In create a sims you can mess with that stuff, but 'natural born' sims would require the use of a cheat to switch anything gender related. You can wear any hair or clothes item no matter your gender at any age though (except baby, they're useless xD).

      It's now 2020...the dlc just keeps getting worse. It's free on PS4 this month..then you can spend over $100 adding the content they cut to make it a full game. And EA still hasn't learnt.

  • @StardustWhip
    @StardustWhip 10 років тому +270

    Remember when we theorized Sims 4 would probably _increase_ the number of traits? Or change from cities to states that had multiple towns and cities?
    Instead, 3 traits, neighborhoods, and you need a 20-second loading time to enter a one-story house.

      ***** Bit of advice, you want sims and expansions for cheap, go on Ebay. There's a beautiful circle of us that sell the game disks on to other people for like £5, then we install it and sell the disk on again to make back the money and include a new person in the ring. All the money to us and we pay basically nothing, and EA can suck it.

      seasons was a DLC in all the other sims games (minus 1 I dont think 1 had seasons at all can´t remember if 2 had seasons).
      So I let it slide problem is that the Sims 3 session DLC/expansion contained a lot more both in pure items and stuff and gameplay then sims 4 did.
      same whit pets minus in the sims 1 we had dog and cats and it was basic.
      2 dont recall. (did 2 have wild wolfs)
      3 we had dog, cat, horses and wolfs, small pets like fish and guni pigs.
      sims 4 pet we got cat and dog. gunipigs was its own DLC.
      and still no horses in 4. and the amount of items and content is really shallow.

    • @Zack_Wester
      @Zack_Wester 3 роки тому +1

      @@cookieface80 I think its because most peeaple know that cranking all the content from let say sims 3+expansion+DLC. into the Sims4 base game is just not feasible.
      and we know that, asking for that is just telling the devs to not bother.
      so we accepts that the sims 3 sesions DLC will be a DLC in the sims 4 what we are not okey whit is the Sims 4 seasion DLC been smaller content and gameplay then the sims 3 seasion DLC and thats where the shoe have been pinching.
      its not that we have gotten the same DLC/expension in the sims 2. 3 and 4 but that the sims 4 expensions have been smaller compared to the sims 3 and 2 expensions.

      polyth0n No, I'm not comparing anything except the reality of the price of *the Sims 3* and Yahtzee's opinion of the word "cheap." The Sims series has always been a cashcow since the second installment when they started focusing more on the downloadable expansions rather than the base game; it was still fun (of a sort, for a very specific player-base in mind) but it set a trend that EA ran headlong into the ground.
      My point was simply to provide the information directly off Steam for anyone curious about wanting to get into such an expensive game. The more you know, etc...

    It’s been about 4 years since I watched any of your reviews and I don’t know why other than I forgot and things and stuff and it’s none of your business. Today someone else referenced “Zero punctuation” in a video and several hours later I am 40 or so videos in (during work of course). I say these things because you are the most refreshing person to listen to hating on games. There are rare occurrences that you like games but I think the fun of it is trying to find an argument against the negatives you so aptly vomit per second. Well done. I am ecstatic to be watching once again.

    Why in the world isn't there a competitor to the Sims?

If another developer made a Sims-esque game on Steam with less bullshit packed in then it'd break the rules of physics by selling out despite being on a digital distribution network.

      In Catholicism belief, exorcising is when a Priest gets rid of a demon who is possessing a person, so basically Origin's a demon.

    I miss the Sims 2. Things were simple then. And the games you got to play while installing it were actually quite fun.
