Whatever happened to games like The Sims?
After Sims 3, EA figured that they can just pump DLC after DLC continuously without improving the game whatsoever and they have been at it for 10+ years.Reminder that 4 is still inferior as in it doesn't have an open world despite 3 doing it years before.
>>748719664they are still around and nothing happened to them?
>>748719951And where are the new games? Nowhere. >>748719950EA should go out of buisness.
>>748719664They expanded massively as one of the main genres of game targeting women.
>>748719950>Sims 1: 7 add-on packs>Sims 2: 18 add-on packs>Sims 3: 20 add-on packs>Sims 4: 114 add-on packs
>>748720017wasnt there a Korean sims that launched this year?
>>748720116>koreanLmfao
>>748720116yes and like all Korean games it looks completely soullessthe character models look like they're from some cheap porn game
>>748720017>>748720116InZoi and Paralives released semirecently. And that's the one I bothered remembering.
>>748720115Just be glad paradox canceled their game, or those numbers for sims 4 would have looked reasonable in comparison.
>>748720115Sims 1 and Sims 2 packs would also add in whole worlds, mechanics and creatures too while 4's packs just add in furniture and useless stuff for role players.
>>748719664Well the brainchild of all those Sim games was Will Wright and in 2009 after witnessing EA rape and sodomize his beloved game Spore into a shitheap, he fucking snapped and quit and has not made a game since
nano
>>748720350City Skylines sits in a weird place where it has both the Simsfoid audience and the GSGchud audience. It is like the transitional zone between a bog and a wasteland.
>>748719664I'd play it if someone made a sims clone with lucky star
they became a lot more hardcore
>>748720968That's Nichijou you dork.
so is 3 the one you should actually play?
>>748721003That game is older than the Sims 4 dumbass.
>>748721050Yes, but I doubt your PC can run it (EA spaghetti coded the game to be single-CPU bound).
>>748721050There are some purist arguments to be made for 2 being the best, but 3 mogs it in every metric that matters.
>>7487210501 or 2
>>748721202Yeah the only real problem with 3 is that every Sim looks like a potato.
>>748721202Rabbit holes are lame
>>748719664New game never ever.......
>>748720115To play Devil's advocate, you don't have to buy all those Sims 4 packs and it's free-to-play and The Sims 3 was arguably worse with its item stores.Until a few years ago Sims 4 really wasn't that bad. But now they've released so many "kits" that they've got their own item store that uses "moolah" now. Fucking dumb but at least it was almost ten years before they went full retard.
>>748721456I had this shit on DS and it was bad
>>748721456Its a shame isn't it?
>>748723939>Sims Urbz for faggotsno... not one of my favorite games... not like this anon!
>>748721456The GBA version was extremely funMade me long for more story-driven Simshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3l_NFp7qT4
>>748721050Yes, 3 is the best.I played alot of 2 and a bit of 4, but have sunk 6 gorillion hours into 3.However, >>748721110 getting it running well is somthing of an IQ or autism test, or atleast a test of determination, it is not a plug and play game.>>748721271I recall reading that it was an expansion update, that broke the face randomizer.(all newly spawned npcs spawn with the same face structure now) It wasnt always like that, but atleast you can fix it with a mod.>>748721541On the bright side, it is now incredibly easy to download the entire sims3store of content for free, including limited edition items.
