Zero Punctuation: The Sims 3

[MrPop]

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: Guerilla=(cheap) Doom Remake
Overlord 2= Medieval Sims 3(with the specific purpose to be evil)
The Conduit= Another(yawn) shooter

Yes, I am also sad there are no Trilby hats. Maks me kindof sad, I can't make a Yahtzee and torture him.

Red Faction: Guerilla a "cheap Doom remake" O_O

What on Earth do you mean? Red Faction is a 3rd person game that plays on a high amount of physics and destructive environment and Doom is a classic FPS about demons on Mars. The only similarity is that they are both set on Mars... I hardly think that counts as a remake. Or else CoD would be a remake of International Superstar Soccer '98 for N64 because they are both set on planet Earth.

He also criticized inFamous for what he lauded it about in the Prototype review. He does that from time to time.

Very frightening review.

Partially because there was some truth in it..

Sounds to me like Yatzhee has a love/hate relationship with the game. For starters, he seems to know quite a lot about Sims 2 (ex: the vampires, whatnot). In addition, like you mentioned, he has referenced the sims many times. Sounds to me like he played Sims 2 for fun back in the day =P

The rewiev is totally great.

Was playing SimS for 2 days and i realized pretty the same..
All u get there with time is a bigger and bigger house and the Lifetime happiness thing slightly forces u to be good and raise ur sims into sports legens, emperor of evil which should earn 1000 times more then the level 1 worker

>>"Incidentally, I'm still not gay."

That's alright, Yahtzee.

I can wait.

Methinks the laddy doth protest too much.

 

[etherlance]

frankly i wouldn't touch a Sims game with a ten foot barge pole



......and if i did touch it with one it would be for the sole purpose of smashing it from here to kindom come along with every other sims game and add-on i have the misfortune to look upon with my ridiculously judgemental gaming ego

A delightful review that contained more facts than humour for once (Ea is run by the devil, Sims are a reverse kind of godgame so on).

The Sims 3 really contains ALLOT less than the Sims 2, allot of stuff I kept asking "where did that go seeing as I had Pirated every expansion pack after Sims 1 i saw allot missing from the game.

Sims 2 and 3 are just expansion packs that add graphics in reality. A good game if you like being an architect but there are cheaper and better versions of house design out on the market an none involve you soul being slowly harvested by EA through DLC to build their Dark Tower in the Underworld.

(Once you young ones get a girlfriend who likes the Sims you get why I Pirated them, the rewards will be sweet).

 

[Raikazu]

He does have a point, there are lots of elements from Sims 2 that have been taken out in this one, but hey, I still bought it and I still enjoy playing it.

 

[Brennen]

what happened to the [prototype]/InFamous thing? Who won in the end? or did neither developing team send in a pic for fear of copyright infringement?
GARBLGARBLBLARG!

 

[xmido]

Exactly what i think of The Sims series. Only sadistic people or women like it.

 

[Brennen]

oh, and yeah, the Sims? Evil incarnate, good job Yahtzee, the world is once again a safe place.

 

[Kyletacullar]

wow so somebody does share my hate of the sims.

 

[Zaydin]

Poor Yahtzee, no Ghostbusters to play. I read that the release for the non PS3 versions outside of the US was delayed because of some deal Atari made with Sony. As for the sims, I haven't played much of it since the very first. Aside from the Sims on the Xbox, but that is more or less the same.

 

[REvolve]

One of the better videos I've seen from you - very well constructed and does confirm my views that The Sims has always been the most evil game ever.

Incidentally, in Manhunt I don't think you can starve anyone to death. That alone makes The Sims more evil. ^^

 

[Sewblon]

He was right about The Sims, but the humor is steadily declining.
