I know you might not agree with me and you may love TS4 and thats awesome. I'm just bummed that I can't feel the same love and enthusiasm for it, so I will be back in lonely TS3 where there will never be new content and Maxis has clearly left far behind. (Drama for emphasis)
Thou I do overall agree with all of this (even thou I do like sims 4..not as much as 3), I strongly agree with
2 - This is the big issue I'm having with 4. No matter how much they put into it, I still feel confined to my house! Adding community lots make it no better, besides you get lost in loading screens.
3 - LOL. When I first started playing this is what had me so lost. and the loss of these things make me sad everytime I play.
4 - Just lazy. Why would they do this.
Sims 3 is still the best game.
I just bought the game a few days a ago (and though I do like it) it still has the same issues as everyone said it did (thank goodness I got it at $19.99 and not for $60.00) I even had freezing issues and it's crashed at least twice so far not to mention overheating my system. That being said there are some improvements to game play than what 3 had and there are more options and they do seem to be governed by their emotions which is a good thing. I hope (if and) when they make 5 they don't lose the emotional reactions that 4 has given us. I'd hate to think that they'd lose a cool component 4 had like they scrapped all the cool parts of 3. I hope 5 can build on what 3 and 4 and 2 gave us. And having a fully interactable environment with good graphics is possible look at new Zelda and we're talking about a console game. I'm hoping this means they have been able to make leaps in bounds in the computer gaming spectrum.
