Great comparison. We've seen a decline in content since sims 3. I feel it was a testing ground with the store. Ah we can take this out, and sell it separately and we'll get more money.
But at least to me sims 3 expansions feel full, I still haven't discovered half of what the game has to offer and I've been playing since 2009.
I'm ashamed to say but I own all the premium content, so I kinda helped them XD
I have a bad feeling none of the seasons will be 'the best ever'. Summer has no sunburn or tanning, just overheating which both sims 2 and 3 had.
And I don't blame the gurus. They don't control the company, just do their job and yes they have to say every remake is the best ever. Do they believe it? That's only something they'll know.
You're not the only one who helped. I admit to buying Lucky Palms, Sunlit Tides, and Roaring Heights. I really wanted those worlds and the premium stuff. I was planning on getting practically everything else in the store. I wanted it all! :smiley:
But one day, I simply decided that I wasn't spending another dime. I wasn't going to do it. It was ludicrous to spend that much money on a game that was expensive enough already.
The things is, as you say, it was nice to have the extra bells and whistles, but TS3's EPs could stand on their own without them. TS4's do not stand on their own -- not if they're missing some of the most basic underpinnings that support the whole.
The way that I see it: C&D and Seasons were EAs most anticipated EPs. As such, EA should have used those EPs as an opportunity to swing for the flippin' fences and show what they're made of. However, as far as I'm concerned, C&D basically phoned it in. The jury is still out on Seasons, but it's not looking good. Two of my most important features didn't make the cut -- believable snow and functional beaches.
The thing is, if EA loses me on the two EPs that were should have been their easiest sale, they've lost me altogether. Seasons was their last chance to make me a believer.
But what's one voice, eh? In the scheme of things, it doesn't account to much.
