It's so strange to me. I don't know why LGR and hundreds of others I've seen on other sites or social medias continues to torture themselves being misrable by engaging in a misrable game they hate so much for whatever reason. I would never review or engage in any activity that brought me more misery than joy.

For example the love of my life is the final fantasy serious. After FFX (the best ever??)I felt like it was all going down hill from there. I stomached ffx-2 because of how much I loved the characters from X. but literally a whole nother dude made it and you could tell. I have played a few demos of newer final fantasies but otherwise never looked back, looked up news or previews, spent money, time or effort engaging in anything related to it because the gameplay or storylines have lost their essence and no longer bring me joy. I like being happy ? so I just moved on to other hobbies. And currently only play roblox and ts4
So I just find it strange that people do this with sims....

I understand with LGR. He loves the franchise. A big part of his channel growth came from reviewing the Sims 3, and many people considered his reviews invaluable. He loved the game, hated the prices, and was very good at breaking everything down. With Sims 4, the people who found him an invaluable resource still wanted his input. So reviewing Sims had become part of his career, and it's hard to let people down who really look forward to your work. There's a huge difference in playing games in your private time and having it be part of your job. When you're lucky, what you love and what makes you money are the same.

What surprises me more, tbh, is how many people seem to take negative reviews as a personal affront. I was sad that my husband didn't like Valheim because I wanted to play multiplayer with him. But some reviewer on the internet? They're entitled to their opinion even if I don't agree with them.

I'm hoping LGR reviews the smoothness patch for Sims 3. But whether he does or doesn't, I'm still using and enjoying it.

Edit: FF6 is the best ;)
