Re: Star Wars? Seriously?
I thought it was a joke when I first saw it advertised on Origin. Or I thought it was like a separate thing, that it wasn't the GP that would be released this year, and that there would be a different one that didn't jump on the mainstream band wagon. There are literally dozens and dozens of Star Wars games already on all gaming platforms, and this is not what The Sims is all about! It's not supposed to have real life references like a movie franchise! It's supposed to give us our own world to create and do whatever we want. For example, the ROM GP, I'm sure 99.9% of people who bought it made Harry Potter characters, but they didn't release it as Harry Potter themed, it was just magic. This is just so off track of what The Sims has always been in the past. Like if you really want to bring in an outside crossover, make it a Stuff Pack and just have clothes and items. I know people are going to say that it's bringing in another world to go to or whatever, but the point is it's based off of a movie. The Sims doesn't need a Star Wars pack, what it needs is focusing on fixing bugs that have been around since it was created, and maybe listening to consumers about what we actually want. It doesn't even make sense; let's give them an off-the-grid theme first with Island Living, then with Eco Lifestyle, and finally with Nifty Knitting...and then for the GP let's give them Star Wars?? I know, I know "if it's not your thing then don't buy it", but we are entitled to voice our opinion. I think what really bothers me is I feel like EA is taking the game away from what it is intended to be. It's just so disappointing.
