LGR Nifty Knitting Review

>.> I watched and read about this pack. My husband told me I could have it, but after seeing and watching and reading reviews... I bought another full game for 5 dollars more. I want to thank all Simmers for their views it helped a lot. Thanks LGR, you have been my favorite Youtube reviewer for Sims.

Oh thank goodness. Now I know what I am supposed to think about the knitting pack.

I don't have to watch LGR's reviews because I already know exactly what and how he's going to say it. He doesn't surprise me. I also couldn't care less about his opinion, or any other Sims reviewers out there.

Having said that, I certainly do enjoy watching his videos. There's humor in it, the characters he uses and the actions they perform are hilarious. I can get a good laugh out of LGR's show without feeling in anyway influenced by his judgement. All good with me.

Oh dear. If the 'job' is that tough, he should no longer be doing it. Just to please other people is NOT OK.
But I can almost guarantee you that he enjoys doing the reviews, even in that sarcastic and tired tone. It's all part of his style. It's all part of the show. I know a thing or two about acting and performing and he's real good at it. That's why he's on YT. ;)

I also hope that he can be honest enough with himself and call it quits whenever he feels doing the TS4 game reviews are actually no longer worth his time. But I believe he's perfectly happy investing in the latest TS4 packs, just to keep that show going. Because it's going well and he knows it.

Well then that's good, I just don't want him to do it if it hurting his wellbeing..I was just concerned. But I heard he never plays the game and only boots it up every time something comes out...
I meant nothing bad. I love him, I love his no bull ???? reviews etc. He's honest and down to earth and I adore him for it.

I think he does play sometimes. When EL came out he did some LGR Plays stuff with the Sims 4. I am not saying he plays a lot or even outside his numerous channels, but that was more than for a review.

Don't worry about him. He's fine. Judging by his sense of humor, he'd be rubbing his hands in excitement and anticipation whenever a new TS4 pack comes out, hoping it will be more mundane and meaningless than the previous pack, just so he can write a comedy review script for it, record it and smash the entire thing into the ground. He's loving it and he never has to play it again.

I understand he was quite passionate about TS3 and disappointed with the direction TS4 has taken, but at this stage he's using the latter to his advantage. And so he should if that's his thing. ;)

The thing is he never really says anything invalid. No matter what his opinion is he never says anything he can't support with an argument and I think that's great.
And if he is ever pleasantly surprised with something he will say it.
In general I think he is watching the ridiculousness of the Sims 4 from afar like many other gamers do. For us who are into the game and somewhat invested it is difficult to see things from an outsiders perspective and I think this is what LGR is trying to do. To look at the game not as a Simmer but as a gamer/consumer.

LGR is really the only reviewer whose opinion I think highly of because he's actually critical of the game. And this is despite I disagree with him about supernatural elements (he hates "Supernatural" from TS3, whereas it's my most favorite pack because I utterly love mythical/fantasy creatures).

I didn't even remember Nifty Knitting until his review popped into my YouTube feed. Even without his criticism, the pack did not seem appealing or engaging. The only blander pack is Laundry Day.

I couldn't finish this. His tone is snotty and condescending from the get-go, and I am disinclined to fight through his lousy attitude to sift out any actually useful information.

Is he always like this? Must be a lot of fun at parties.

With TS3 not really. Great example being Seasons expansion pack.

Dude chill....No need to be a ????. LGR is respected in the community, his opinion matters to a lot of people. He's tired like many others...he probably doesn't wanna do these reviews, but when you have MANY people who COUNT on you to do reviews you gotta do what you gotta do! He's real plain a simple and dishes it like it is and is not afraid to speak his mind...

Just don't watch him if you aren't a fan that simple bud.

You don't have to take it personally just because somebody doesn't like the youtuber that we do.

I understand he could dislike LGR but some of his comments were a bit rude. Esp. the "bet he's fun at parties." Not necessary.

That's not the remark you should get emotional over about. It's okay for someone to dislike another or find the person one way in their perception. Same goes if you one person to be boring, for the other they might find the quiet one to be quite a party animal for whatever reason. Disagree them politely but dont cuss out.

As for the comment: Not being ironic, but he is fun. He has great sense of humor. Dry/pan and greait satire. He wouldn't receive such large Simmer following on youtube if he was just a grumpy man that doesn't bring a one liner. Honestly, much pleasure to hear than those game changers that gush over the slightest thing they find adorable or cute over about.

I love LGR's reviews. He's funny. But i don't always agree with him. And this is one of this times...

I think NK has more in it than most of the other stuff packs. A skill, an aspiration, a new way of selling crafts, a new radio station with new animations, bb and a lot of cas (even most being connected to the skill).

It looks like LGR doesn't like sims 4 and he sounds tired. But it was actually the first time that i think he wasn't fair. Is knitting niche? Well most of the skills are. Does looking at your sim knitting is boring? Well looking at him cooking or fishing or dj'ing or programing is also boring. It is if you concentrate in the skill and you don't integrate it into a story...

Also like someone said before sims 4 doesn't have a store like 3 had. So, it's normal to have 17 stuff packs by now. Premium objects in the store were also niche, expensive and there were tons of it...

And this is coming from someone that didn't vote in knitting. I'ld prefer happy haunts everyday.

when it comes to the sims there has always been this love them and hate them mentality. Some that will defend to the death the wonders of EA, Some who will be genuine and sincere in how they feel, and some who hate to hate. The haters generally become the most entertaining to read because they by pass the fact that they knew in advance what they were buying, or they just didn't research at all. The haters will climb on board any hate train going nowhere and complain about what comes up along the way. It is funny to me that at one time, the haters used to upset me because the negativity was often unfounded. Lots of years have come and gone since i first began playing back in 2001. It is something that along the way I have learned a value for. If you ever wanted to know how you could do better, what you are doing wrong, or how well your information is being received and understood, then listen to the haters. Sometimes you can learn something otherwise it does have entertainment value up to a point. I absolutely do not consider lazy gamer reviews to be hateful ....i believe this person says it just the way he relates to the particular product he is reviewing. He does wrap his reviews in a generous amount of entertainment with humor being the main stay. I don't need to always agree but i do like being entertained.
