LGR (Lazy Game Reviews) is hosted by the one and only Clint Basinger.
Complete Sims 4 Playlist: The Sims 4 on LGR

To be fair, he's sounded done with this game for a long time. It's part of what I like about his reviews. No sugar-coating, though he tries to find good and be fair, and you can about guarantee he'll recommend waiting for a sale.

Plus, chairs.

If he's SO DONE with the game, why is he still reviewing it?

People laud him as being non-biased, but if he's someone that's annoyed or upset with the Sims, why bother reviewing it? For the views?

Probably. Reviewing something you aren't a fan of is biased too. LGR sounds a bit fake to me. Like he's purposely trying to sound fed up and bored just to appeal to people who want a more sarcastic style view.

I prefer Sim Supply myself, even if I disagree with him on what packs are good and what aren't lol (I love my first pet and he hates it, and I'm not into build stuff etc). But James sounds more real about what he likes and doesn't, not just fake "bored of the game" haha. I get the feeling this LGR guy is more about the youtube views than the game itself when I watch this.

Because he is a reviewer. He also cares about the franchise as a whole, and talks about packs or features he likes. Fans also request these reviews, the sims team used to send free copies of packs. He also reviews a lot more than just sims, hundreds of vintage games and tech too.

Did you watch the review yourself? Or did you form your opinion on what others think or say of him?

LGR doesn’t need the sims to keep his channel afloat. His channel does fine without it. I think he reviews the packs because he cares about the franchise as a whole and also because people beg him too.

LGR has been surprisingly positive about the sims 4 of late. He was positive about cats and dogs, seasons, Get Famous I think Island living. He didn’t even roast Strangerville which if he were all about the views he would have done. Perhaps his sounding bored is genuine?
I can believe it. I feel that way. LGR is not biased simply because he is not s game changer and nor does he get all the perks that entails.

If he's doing it because people beg him to that would confirm to me it's for the views haha. But yes it could be genuine it just doesn't sound that way to me. he sounds kind of bored of the game which made the review kind of boring to listen to for me. I've listened to a few of his videos but I don't see myself subscribing.

I think he’s doing it because some people harass him to the point he probably does it to shut people up. And as I said he cares about the life sim franchise, he’s entitled to a view.

If you concede he’s sounding bored of the game, then how can he be faking it also? That’s a contradiction in terms. And by doing it for the views I mean if the sims ends tomorrow, his channel will survive. It will carry on, he’s not a sims youtuber. He’s not dependent on EA for perks nor dependent on them to continue to make packs to grow his channel. He’s not say dependent on making click bait YouTube videos(the sims 4 gets cars!) or videos every time one of the Gurus tweets their breakfast, you don’t see Clint making videos out of breadcrumbs. He sounds bored because it’s a garbage pack. I think it feels more fake to see people squealing in excitement over swatches. But he’s not going to praise it one day and then throw it under the bus the next like some influencers do. That to me is fake. With LGR, what you see is what you get.

I find myself agreeing with his reviews more often than not. I have been watching his reviews for years, and I find his opinions are without bias of any kind. In the recent past, EA did give him free copies of packs, but LGR's honesty and lack of enthusiasm in new content brought that to an end. He has not said anything about the Moschino stuff pack that I have not already said to myself. And as far as the fact he does these reviews of Sims4 packs just for views on his YouTube channel? He is very popular and doesn't need the Sims pack reviews to boost his ratings. If one doesn't like him or his reviews, don't watch his channel. But remember he does these reviews to share his opinion because Simmers have asked for his opinion. Perhaps his boredom is well deserved because I am finding less and less new content in some of these packs that appeals to me, too. Even the Game Changers have displayed disappointment in the last few new packs; so LGR isn't saying anything many other players aren't already feeling is true about 'new' content. Upgrading features from the base game and older packs is not 'new' content. New B/B assets are not new content. New gameplay options that work without resorting to mods or workarounds in order to make it work as advertised, would be considered groundbreaking because every pack we have had so far has come with a lot of problems that have not been permanently fixed. That has become boring and infuriating after five long years. Is it little wonder he can't bring himself to fake an interest that doesn't exist? Being honest is not a bad thing. It's refreshing, and I applaud him for speaking the truth.
