I agree with LGR’s reviews. I find it amusing that every single dlc release, LGR’s review always gets it own thread and it always goes the same way. Those who agree, those who don’t, and those that don’t agree without even having watched what LGR has to say.
LGR is one of the few influencers who who speak his mind. (It also I imagine hugely helps that he’s not one of the “valued” game changers so he is not biased in any way, shape or form.)
I’m not sure why the sims 3 store has come into it this discussion, yes it was overpriced but there’s a big difference, it wasn’t “essential” gameplay. *With the exception of the baby/toddler stuff. You could buy expansions and have a full experience with a ton of gameplay. I played for years without store content and I didn’t feel it was essential. It was like a side dish if you will but the sims 3 base game and expansions offered me more than enough game play as my main course.
When I started getting store content I got it for free through registration or expansion packs which gave you points, watching ads and a very generous community. The only money I paid was for two of the worlds.
Now with seventeen stuff packs, there’s no way to get those for free, it costs well over a hundred bucks just for stuff packs and most of the premium items isn’t “extra” game play but items we had previously got as part of a larger expansion. Now we pay for it. Yes we get more suspiciously similar hairstyles and clothes that are similar but for some reason people don’t mind that. This latest stuff pack should have been part of a bigger pack , as should tiny living have. There’s no excuse for that other than greed. But EA know they will get away with it because while they know the community will moan, they will moan whilst opening their wallets and that’s the bottom line for EA. And I don’t blame LGR for being fed up. I’ve played as long as he has and watching this series get nickel and dimed breaks my Simming heart.
