Zero Punctuation: The Sims 3

[BoxCutter]

My little brother used to play the sims. He would come home from his boring day at school to have a boring day on the computer, it confused me beyond belief. Great review, spot on in all departments, I don't see the appeal but people keep buying the thing.

The Sims 3

This week, Zero Punctuation reviews The Sims 3.

Watch Video

So you've suddently become single, then.

 

[CmdrGoob]

Fucking hilarious, that is all.

"Yahtzee, you inappropriate menstruation joke"
"more popular than a chocolate cunnilingus machine"
"absorbing our manhoods into their rank, blood-streaked spam sandwitches"

Top class Yahtzee witicisms.

 

[Eggyman]

Only one word is enough to describe this: hilarious

If any one didn't watch this, what are you waiting for?

 

[General Ken8]

Pretty funny, I have the sims 3 and never thought of it that way

 

[Strong Intelligent]

Great, I'm a woman.

I'm sad now. I feel like I've wasted my life.

You have

But then again, i'm a man so... I have too

I'm actually a man to, I was just being sarcastic.

He sounds like he has a throat infection

That's exactly what I thought - hopefully it's not full blown strep throat, he won't be doing one next week otherwise

 

[Zombie_Fish]

So, if you want an evil game, don't buy Manhunt, buy The Sims, and be the corrupt dictator that you want to be!

 

[Orzene]

Yes, I have played the Sims games.. and yes, I destroyed their lives, though, I sort of imagined a Silent Hill / Poltergeist scenario where the house was evil and brutally killing the family I put in there, .. and incidentally any neighbor who was unfortunate enough to get caught within this horrible nightmarish residence. ... Call me what you will.

I never liked the sims for pretty much the exact same reason that Yahtzee showed. I found it to be a very empty game when I tried the disk of the very first game that came with one of my past computers.

 

[Boaal]

Someone gave him an STI? Some kind of relationship problem?
He's a little angry at somthing, lol.
Good review all the same, funny and actually kind of true with the whole 'oh shit! I'm living my life... but not.." thing.

 

[tajron85]

Manhunt rox

 

[Aidoc]

I think it's hilarious how so many people think he was dumped. He was kidding, that's kind of the point of his reviews. He was also spot on with his review, the Sims is barely even a game. All of the hate and stupid responses are either by fans of the "game", or tards.

 

[Sviests]

I never thought about picking up Sims 3 but now it`s worse. Pfft it seem that Ben`s good ideas are all used up. Hope he`ll make something awesome sometime soon.

 

[Hitman 43]

Very nice review.

 

[Spirit_Of_Fire]

Summer games drought... to be fair there is Red Faction: Guerilla, Overlord 2, The Conduit and a few others you could have ripped apart

I've been waiting since Red Faction: Guerilla came out for him to review it. He could of even done it instead of the pointless E3 thing. On topic: I loved the way he said that you end up being the one serving them and your whole life is then devoted to their every whim. That sums up the feeling I have had from playing every Sims Game.

 

[Nurb]

"EA isn't stupid, they're just greedy exploititive fucks"

Hell yes. Never pay for an EA game.

 

[Leftyrem]

that

off topic:anyone else notice no call of duty waw review? not complaining but im surprised

I'm much more interested in the future 'Ghostbusters' review. It certianly seems like a game that can't miss and I think it may melt the cold ice block of a heart in Yahtzee's chest. Though, I'm seriously doubting it. He could nitpick a nitpick. But it would be cool to see him get excited about a game again, like back in his 'Orange Box' review.

thats true he does deserve to not suffer for a couple of days

 

[elpresidente]

I liked this. It had enough inappropriate menstruation and vagina jokes. And Yahtzee is correct about women. True men know their hidden nature, and the rest are just lucky and wander around in post-coital bliss. But don't worry Yahtzee, there's plenty of pussy in the sea and it's probably very wet.
As for the Sims - yes, it is indeed an evil game. I spent my share of time with Sims 2 and it was mostly because I wanted to see what the fuss was all about and to see everything that you can do in the game. Once you see it all, you realize that it's just an elaborate virtual doll-house filled with castrated and inept obeying men. That's why women like it so much. It makes them fulfill their men-controlling fantasies, without the danger of being told to fuck off.

"...the most evil game in the world."
Perfect, I totally agree.

A thought though, do you really want to play Ghostbusters? With all that's going on with it, (Atari refusing to fix glitches/bugs, placing the blame on Sony, all the threats of class-action law suits, the formal complaints filed with the Better Business Bureou and the UK counterpart).
