This is the only review I’ve watched so far. It was ok. Not as fun this time.
I haven’t played with the pack long enough to agree with him that this is not EP worthy. For me Jungle Adventures is “EP worthy” and stuff like Get Famous is something I rarely touch.
I’m also not entirely sure why folks keep insisting that the gondola ride should have been an active ride. A lot of resources would need to be spend on a feature like that. I’d love it myself, don’t get me wrong. FP view and all that. Although the camera will go all over the place trying to follow sims move through the air.
What happens with stuff like this, is that most people will just end up pressing the full speed ahead button because they’ve lost patience following their sim go up to the top every single time.
It’s not that it’s safe to woohoo on the gondola ride. (It’s a public ride...everyone can kind of see you from down below? ) Having a sim fall out of the thing is not an option either. ??♂️
Most players will probably admire the animation once and then never look at it again. Dumb? No, Bored is more like it. If riding the gondola was a thing, LGR would probably say that it was too monotonous and didn’t add anything to the actually gameplay.
Give me cars instead and make it worthwhile.
He also didn’t mention mountain climbing, because it’s generally assumed that it’s just a recycled interaction that came with the climbing wall in the fitness stuff pack. Not entirely. I’d say about 10% is reused and tweaked. The rest is unique to the rock walls. If folks can’t appreciate the additional rock climbing motions I doubt they’re going to appreciate a long and boring gondola ride.
I do agree with him on the food part. It makes me fierce hungry.
