Unpopular Opinions (Project Rene/Sims 5 + Other Life Sims)

Didn't see one already so I wanted to make an unpopular opinion thread for discussions on Project Rene and the other upcoming life sim games. :)
  • None of them will have the same spirit and vibes as The Sims 2 had.
    They can still do better than TS3. I'm not even mentioning TS4.

    Although not a heavy occult player am with you otherwise. What have seen of the various new life sim games is that they are RL sim games, not the whimsical take of the Sims to date. I have RL 24/7/365, when I play a game to unwind from said RL, more RL is not what I have in mind.


    Bit same. I don't need a realistic life simulator.. I already have one, I'm living it.

    I will keep my fantasyland where I pull that mop out of my bottom when needed and cannot step over a newspaper :p
  • The only thing I am excited for in project Rene are the color wheels and swatches. If they were an expansion pack for TS4 I would get that and never bother with sims5

    Life by you: uhhhhhhh..... idk how to put this nicely so I won't say much but... ??? it's just very very badly made, to a point I still can't believe they released that last video. I watched it multiple times just to be sure if what I was seeing was true.
    And my back still hurts from the way that character watched the action movie poised at the edge of the couch with the 2d picture stuck on the screen and his feet sinking into the floor. And the way the videos are constantly cut or fast forwarded to hide how bad it is. There is no transition between animations and they tried to be so generic that there is no style or individuality. So even the girls walk in a weird gender neutral way that looks super unnatural. But one of the most shocking things was the conversation between characters because that was advertised to be a unique distinctive feature that I initially found very interesting. Now I see why they don't show us a nice 5 or 10 min video focusing in the dialogue features.


    Was there a recently released video with additional gameplay footage? I'll have to check it out!
    From what I remember in the original announcement, the graphics didn't blow me away but know they weren't final.

    As a TS3 lover, I am very intrigued by LBY so hopefully this new footage doesn't also repel me :#



    If you keep an eye on their YouTube channel they post videos fairly often. The latest being the 30sec. Conversation. The worst being (in my opinion) the manage needs video.

    I was really excited when I found out Paradox was making a Sims game.
    Also excited by the customization tools, but I feel that LBY just isn't bringing anything that will impress when it comes to their characters, character AI, and game art style. If anything, it looks below the bar. I hope for their sake that they are holding back on revealing some really competitive features and that the final polish will take the game to new levels.

    I have no idea what EA is going to bring, only that I did not like what they were suggesting where they were going with the game.
    A lot of time has passes since their last reveal. The game could have changed substantially by now.
