Welcome to Gaia! ::

That would be because they aren't speaking English. Far from being a fault, I'd say it's a strong point because Sims is a game of imagination (think playing with a doll house as a kid). If the Sims actually spoke in English, it would be much harder for us to put our own imagined dialogue into their mouths.

If you would rather just be told what's happening rather than use your imagination to think of it yourself, or if you hated playing with dolls as a kid, I could see why it might bother you.

I've said it before and I will say it again, the Sims caters to a very specific audience and that audience is not your typical gamer. There are no 'goals,' there's no clear end point. The whole thing is, really, just playing with dolls.


I have to agree there. I was hugely disappointed after all the hype it got. Half the promised content wasn't in the final game. Not to mention that the game, which is based entirely on the CHOICE of good or evil, makes it almost impossible to play as an evil character. Nearly all the story line missions have only one way of completing them and that way gets you good points. And there aren't nearly enough side missions to make that not matter so much.

The game had one thing going for it, one thing that made it different from all the masses of other games out there, and they didn't even manage to do that one thing right.

no i like this game, its not a list of games i dont like just to much hyper that wasn't needed. alot of people say ooooh FF7 is the best, which might be true. but most of them never even played the other ones. there just saying it because its the most hyped, i mean come on how much ff7 stuff is comming out. the movie, the vincent game, the turk one and theres another one if i remeber.

Personally, I found the Sims a bit of a drag. After all the attention the releases get given down here in the stores, they get boring really quickly.

I agree with you there, i like the game personally when i have nothing else to do and i get a laugh at some of the things they do an im glad i cant understand them, with custom content an what not i can use my imagination for things (there are tons of storys using the sims done on live journal by many people), or with the sims 2 i can make a sim closest to me an my husband looks wise an see how our kids just might turn out..many possibilities.

KH2, there is just so much about it thats just ok (to me anyway) and the obsessive compulsive fans kind of ruined it for me.

FF7, it was good and I like the game but damn people. sweatdrop

Same here...I totally agree. When my sis got the game, i was all like "cool another FF game. Lets see how good it is" but when i saw the opening, I was so dissappointed. When my brother actually sat and beat the game, I was very shocked and dissappointed at the ending. And why did Square have to make Rikku look like a Ditz? She was so cute in FFX.

for me, it was...

Metroid Prime. maybe i just don't like first person shooters, but i just hated the camera angle and i didn't understand anything. ah well, i only lost 15 bucks.

Extreme 2. I wasted 45 bucks on that one. the songlist wasn't very good overall, but it had a few good songs. I personally liked DDR Max and DDR Extreme like 20 times better.
