one game is hard and requires being good and the other basically beats itself as long as you can do quicktimes and pick A vs B and also it has jokes in it that game journos would like. not surprising but still stupid.

here's the thing, though. the Sims is one of those games that doesn't grow enough graphically, or in terms of features, over time to justify dropping your DLC collection. expansions, sure. hell, expansions that retweak the game for less tedium/better play time? gently caress yes. but to purchase a new Sims game when you already have say, Sim 3 with all the DLC is actively paying $60 to downgrade your gaming experience.

baseline sims 4 has less content than sims 3 and also runs much worse so it's not worth your time

That's my problem though: I don't have ANY Sims game right now.

So as someone starting with nothing, should I go for Sims 3 or Sims 4?

I mean, since people generally seem to be in agreement that The Sims 4 doesn't really add much over even the base game of Sims 3, I'd guess you should probably go for that one.

Well like I said, Sims 4 is better optimized and a lot of complaints people had about it have been fixed in free content patches. Technically Sims 3 with all the expansions is more content, but even the best computer would slow to a crawl processing all of it.

In other news, Dungeon Defenders 2 recently came onto Open Alpha. It's proving a huge amount of fun for me, and I'm wondering what do you all think about it?

They're completely different genres reviewed by two different people and both reviews make completely salient arguments justifying their scores (Transformers review docks points for the fact that it's a full-priced title but feels more like a downloadable title like Korra, Minecraft gives it points for being family-friendly and accessible since Minecraft's target audience is children), even by the usual standards of people whining about review scores this is asinine.

that's just particularly fresh in my mind because I watched the gamespot review of DQH for some reason and it amounted to "dragon quest fans like. dynasty warriors! hyrule warriors. you can summon monsters, but maybe should summon at other time. 8."

Pretty sure Transformers would have gotten a higher score if they didn't slap a €40 tag on what really does feel like a budget platinum title at times.

Reading through it too they basically praise the combat system but shun the leveling & inventory systems and the lack of lock on can be a mess at times. It's a pretty fair review.

I remember when Nintendo Power docked some points for Mega Man X3 being "too much like other mega man games" being the first time I realized game reviewers didn't know what the hell they were doing.

Oh no, not more of the thing I really like. :(
