I think he is getting lazy with his reviews. This one seemed really rushed, an where was Duke Nukem?

Duke was drinking his way to learn the culture. Wasn't he the sim was passed out on the floor by all the empty glasses.

You might be right. Duke needed some recovery time and couldn't complete the expedition, lol.

Out of curiosity, why is it automatically fake sounding if it's positive, but it's fine if it's overwhelmingly negative? (This one wasn't, but a lot of his reviews are)

I actually like Deligracy a lot, she usually provides constructive criticism. She was one of the youtubers that spoke out against the ball pit textures. She also pointed out a few things with Jungle Adventure that she disliked, such as the lack of island counters to match, and the counters we got in the first place are pretty ugly. She also pointed out that we got some very nice wall tiles, but no floors to match.

Those are "Things" and not game play.

She is primarily a builder as far as I know. That is her gameplay to her.

I look for gameplay reviews. I have been forced to watch lets plays to get any actual reviews of all the packs. The squeals about objects are unappealing, so that is why I do not trust those anymore and see them as fake. Most of the EA game changers reviews are purely on the look and no longer the gameplay. They "review" CAS and build/buy mode. They do not review gamelay, which informs me better about a pack. LGR reviewed the gameplay.

I do know what you mean, there are plenty of simmers who will say no wrong about the sims packs. There are also those that do speak their mind though, LGR isn't the only one.

I watch Drgluon almost every night, he streams the sims, and he is honest about what he likes and doesn't like.

I also was watching another streamer that said they understand it's a gamepack, but the rabbit hole questions still disappointed them.

Those are chance cards. Every Sims game has had chance cards.

Most of Sims 4 is a rabbit hole, really, at least in function, with only the active lot, well, active. I'm not sure I would call the warp zones on the path rabbit holes.

How about we stay on topic.

I think LGR puts the emphasis on his ironical humor which he's very good at. I'm not sure reviewing the game isn't a pretext to advertise his own talents, even if he does serve his opinions with solid arguments towards pros and cons. When I watch his reviews, I always end up feeling a little bit blended. He's a good word surfer.

Well like Sims 1, 2 and 3 - so of course it also has chance cards. Sims always does. They are nothing the game hasn't always had. Are you just now noticing that? I find that hard to believe. At least this time they made it cute and even have little pictures. Bon Voyage just left us standing there as the sims took off with the tour guides - then sims came back either all injured or happy depending on how we answered their chance cards. Sims 3 even had it in regular play - at sims jobs, at kids field trips and tons of other ways. And in that case we couldn't see much of anything. At least in this one we have game play and we get to see and go with the sims. I'd say this time they are the best chance cards ever. Up there with the ones in Sims 1 Making Magic and their Sims 1 vacations that Will Wright made. Will Wright tends to like chance cards judging from many of his games.

Sims 4 does not really have rabbit hole per sec - technically . Again - these are chance cards. A rabbit hole is a space the character goes into and then comes back out of. When sims in Sims 4 goes into somewhere they come out some where else that you can explore with them - so not really a rabbithole. A rabbithole would be like Sims 3 mausuleum in the graveyard or the sims work places in Sims 3, or the tours in Bon Voyage in Sims 2. Those are rabbitholes.

(Keep in mind I love all the sims games - so I am not judging one against the other - Just telling it like it is.)
