Lazy Gamer Reviews My First Pet

Deep breaths, me.

Okay, this review feels really, REALLY lazy to me. Simply put, LGR skims over pretty much everything in favour of concentrating on telling us that not the entire pack can be played without the C&D expansion. Kind of missing the fact that people WITH the C&D expansion are the ones it's aimed at, skimming over the gameplay object in three seconds, not showing the many, many MANY swatches for the items, which is a shame because most of them actually change the shape of the item.

Now I'm glad that LGR speaks his mind and doesn't squee like a fangirl. But I don't think of this as a review. More like another rant about MFP (some of which make reasonable points), and we have plenty of those. His just came out AFTER the game was released.

I mean, this was a Stuff Pack. I knew from the start that he wouldn't advise anybody to get it.

Also, that $50? WHY? A guy already has C&D and thought it was pretty good, then bought MFP... How about he start a trend of donating that $50 to a children's charity instead? Cuz y'know, FIRST PET? All that kid-based stuff? It was a publicity stunt.

I disagree strongly with everything you said here, LGR clearly went over everything that was in the pack - and how would showing swatches change anything? That's ridiculous. It's not about how many swatches there is, that was never the point to begin with. He clearly states in the review that the pack was aimed at people that bought cats & dogs, and he goes into detail what the gameplay object does and don't do.
I respect that you don't agree with him, but don't make stuff up and say he didn't go through everything because he went through everything that was important. The rest you can find out on any of the numerous fan sites detailing the swatches.
