Lazy Gamer Review of Cottage Living now up

Yeah, I saw this. I cannot say I am surprised by his verdict; nor that he mentioned he will not be doing many more reviews.

I thought he wasn't going to do anymore reviews on sim packs? Swear he had mentioned that months ago. Huh, surprising.

He said he'd only review EPs a few months ago. At the end of this one, I was wondering if he was saying it really didn't have the content of an EP and he'd review the next EP which actually was an EP rather than an overpriced GP. But he's been saying that various Sims content costs too much for years -- it's not a Sims 4-only slam. The only reason LGR reviewed store worlds in TS3 was because people would buy him the worlds. At the end of every one of them, not matter how much he liked it, he'd say it was not worth the $$. I agree with him. Sims is way overpriced and yet doesn't have enough resources to fix the bugs.

I mean, true enough, the Sims franchise as a whole is pretty much overpriced when getting into various content packs and definitely not for the average gamer to be investing your hard earn $$ into less you just really enjoy the series and want more content. Which will continue to be an on-going thing when the next installment for the sims comes out so, rinse and repeat. First sims game started with EP's, S2 introduced stuff packs, S3 introduced the store on top of that, and S4 introduced GP's and now kits.

I don't want to even think about the money I've spent from the first sims game throughout out til now. Probably get heart burn. :#

Yes, but that figure is much more palatable if you divide it by 240 months (20 years) to get your monthly entertainment budget. ?

Umm why did I watch it? He used to be funny and I get why he isn't into it anymore, but again why did I watch it?

PFFFFTT.

I probably could have bought a used car with my entertainment budget. Priorities. :joy:

Like me, general curiosity.

Wasn't feeling the usual humor he had, which is rare but I'm pretty sure this is more tiring than anything to him now, which I would have liked him to just stick to his guns and just say no if it's not entertaining to him, but with it being one of the more popular things on his channel aside from his usual old software and hardware reviews along with other things which people probably been asking him to do is probably why. The same rinse and repeat method when he grew tired of S3 when he said it 'wore out it's welcome'. Same situation with S4. Though, I don't even see him play S2 anymore which I liked seeing on his channel too for the sheer randomness, so I think he's just pretty tired of the Sims franchise all over.

Surprised he didn't go into a bit more depth like the evil chickens and the absolute chaos they can cause havoc on your sims and garden. Or have sims that were lactose intolerant get sick and gassy from drinking milk. (Since there's usually some sort of fart joke in his reviews).

Along with the death by rabbit and death by chicken. Didn't really feel like a overall thorough review from him even if it'd be the same result, which is pretty disappointing. You can see and feel he just wasn't motivated and just did it because it's more expected of him than anything. You can definitely pick up the tone of this video compared to previous ones and his computer related ones.

It was all fairly underwhelming if not disappointing for him.

Probably won't look at anymore sim videos of his as they've become less entertaining.

Yep! They are the descendants of Jack the Ripper

@LadyKyn the rabbits and chickens can kill Sims?

Yep. Aggravate them enough and they attack. Sims should survive the first attack and MAYBE the second but high chance they will die. Evil chickens will set things on fire if you agitate them. Probably what my mean and evil sim gets. ?
