Zero Punctuation: The Sims 3

[Cosplay Horatio]

Since I don't want to read through the eleven pages of posts I will simply reply off the first page.

The Sims games were only fun when you can cause natural disasters and summon giant space spider robots. Making Sims games imitate real life is boring and similar to watching Niko Bellic watching tv in GTA 4. I'm sure it may be fun for some but I will never find out.

The thing I hate most about the sim's 3 is the store.
A 45 more items to decorate my house with great. It only $20 F@#$ing. It's not like my mortgage was that important anyway.

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

Red Faction doesn't have an Australian release date.
Overlord 2 comes out July 9th.
The Conduit, July 16th.

NOT EVERYBODY IS AMERICAN OKAY? <_<

Nicely done... Sweet I too said all this years that Sims is the most evil game ever made on this planet

liked the whole metaphors part. Don't buy this game ... it's a waste of time and its the game that made a shame for the whole industry buy just sucking dry the costumers from money with each expansion.

i dont even know what to say. . .

When he said you could trap them in a tiny room and watch them starve I remembered I did that on the Sims 2 then he said if your a bitter antisocial dickhead and you've alienated anyone whos ever loved you and you like to think your funny and your dying inside I thought he just described me which made me a little depressed.

Didn't think much of this one. Lots of playing to the crowd, nothing new said. We've heard all the 'casual gamers are girly-girls' tropes before, just like we've heard all the Sims-as-real-job/empty-suburbia tropes before. The only thing more boring than those old saws is the I-hate-women stuff. Yeah, yeah, very shocking/politically incorrect/whatever the hell you were going for. Next please.

EDIT: "Aaaaah, but you've just registered solely to post that little bit of displeasure, that makes you even more boring than he, aaaaaahhhh" Yes, yes, I know.

Ok review, but why not get Gametraders Robina (Echo) to send you Ghostbusters.

Ditto. I get he's a professional troll, and I'm normally a big fan, but my bloody DAD does the women are evil trope.

Nice to know I'm not the only one with a low opinion of the Sims.

 

[CardinalRedBird]

This wasn't funny enough for me to let the misogyny slide. These videos have gone down severely in quality, which is very sad because ZP used to make me laugh my ass off. *sigh*

 

[crimped]

I wasn't expecting this game to be reviewed. it was fucking hil-ar-iouse
best he's done in quite a while! I still like the sims, just not the added cost that EA keeps taking on with DLC. good job.

 

[AwesomeNinjaPowers]

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh I can't breathe that is so funny, and I play the Sims and I am a girl, yet I'm unable to find it offensive cause it's the truth about 99.9% of Sims players. Keep up the good work Yahtzee. This review is Full of WIN!

Sims 1: interesting, fun, needs more options.
Sims 2: WRONG options. Being a paragon of whatever personality type is not enjoyable. The other add-ons were nice.
Sims 3: Makes Yahtzee believe (not so) secretly that he may have directly and irreversibly injected estrogen into both brain and body. And needs pool tables.

Seriously though, Mr. B. C. "Yahtzee" has a job and reasonably large fanbase, even if it's just from one (not so) lousy website. Surely there's a female out there somewhere that either does or will go live in (Australia) the land of aggressive spiders to date and/or put out for that man with the (cute and) awesome hat.

lol
its funny 'cause its true

 

[ZippyDSMlee]

He sounds a bit jaded and pissed, he has to realize tho its not just females that suck, its all of humanity. ^^
Good job keep at it(and maybe go in for a bit of consoling)!!

 

[theunreliablecritic]

it was ............................different but he was right about the game being evil

 

[theunreliablecritic]

this show will never lose its spark

 

[Fireproof217]

The thing I love about Yahtzee is that he always puts his finger on exactly what bothers me about a game, yet could never quite understand completely. He does it again here.

Another great review!
