Wow! I'm glad everyone else has pretty much expressed my thoughts because I have no words. But I am impressed that they made a gameplay trailer with no gameplay in it. Congrats devs. Did anyone notice what was missing from the trailer? No one was riding a bicycle, anywhere. I saw one leaning against the house, but that's it.
I hope everyone realizes that they have gotten better at making nothing look like something. There are no sports but you can join a sports club and everyone can kick a soccer ball by themselves together.
And while the secret society looks good in their robes and masks, why are they in another hidden world (and they told us that not enough players use the two hidden ones we already have) or is it one of the ones we already have? Doesn't matter because a secret society should meet in a hidden room in the basement or attic plotting how to take over the world. So what's with the magic stuff and being "Blessed"?
And someone (young apparently) please tell me what "Julia is a whole mood" means. Is that another silly phrase like "It made me feel a certain way"? Of course you felt a certain way, you're alive and thinking and breathing. You feel all day long, every day. Great, now I'm a whole mood.
It's good to see the cafeteria but unless it can be used outside of the pack in the real world, it might as well be a bicycle.
I do give the devs credit for one thing. Anyone remember a teacher telling a kid (or you :D ) that if you put as much effort into actually studying as you do into trying to get out of studying, you'd be class valedictorian? Devs, you could be class valedictorian.
I didnt even realize that the cafeteria was there at the end :o
I'm glad that's there. I was hoping there would be or have that guy who cooks for you like in sims 2 university.
Also "Julia is a whole mood" in this context meant that they found her character to be very relatable. It's kinda hard to explain. Youth slang doesn't always make sense.
I know I'm old and there's things the youth of today say and do that I just don't get but, it seems at odds to create a trailer for a university EP for our sims to seek higher learning and have Julia talk as if she too cool to talk like the adult she is trying to be. I highly doubt that a lawyer speaks like she did and if my kids teacher did, I'd find a way to home school them. :D
Did you use the slang of your day when working in official capacities at your place of employment?
I still use slang now but only around my friends who know I'm more educated than that. I never had a job where I dealt with the public on a daily basis, but if I did, I wouldn't use slang of any type. It's unprofessional. And I certainly wouldn't use it when trying to sell something to a group of possible buyers around the world.
Do you think people would trust a teacher or lawyer that spoke like that? What about a bank teller or a waitress or a doctor? I think the choice of slang was a bad one to promote a pack about higher education.
The trailer doesn't show a teacher in a class environment with students, especially not students on the lower education levels. She's talking to her friends.
The pack is about students, not working professionals. I think the slang is perfectly fitting the theme.
