The reason I'll be harder on Sims than Paralives.

I'm planning on trying Paralives, because I like simulation games. I'll watch for the price point and might wait awhile after release, it depends on what has my interest at the time really. I'll also want to see if they plan DLC... if it's going to copy the Sims in that way or I get that impression that that is coming I'll wait much longer to buy because at this point the art style still isn't grabbing me and I'm not a builder.
I don't need to be forgiving or talk it down at all. I'm sure they will get my money eventually. I'm not going to cry over a miss spent 20-60 bucks even if I don't like it but chose to buy. Probably if it's over 40 I'll wait for a sale unless people that I know and usually agree with are raving about it.
