@chuckbuzz : I felt the same way about the Sims 3 at first. I thought it stunk. Then I played it for awhile. The game is so much more a game. There are millions of things a sim can do. For example, just in the skills a sim just doesn't master a skill. He goes beyond that. He needs to use his mastered skill to reach more and more levels of mastery.
Excuse me, but if I want to reach levels of mastery I can play NWN2 or BG2 or whatever else all right. I have no need of The Sims for that.
The challenges are quite entertaining too.
Sorry, but I find Final Fantasy challenges more entertaining.
I was actually playing the game today again.
I really don't see what the fuss is about aside from better graphics and short loading times (but I'm sure those loading times will increase when CC comes out). I found myself trying to sneak off onto the internet or cook or have some excuse to get away from the game XD lol My subconscious is telling me that it's pretty boring.
You sound like me every time I have to study for my Chinese lessons -- suddenly I feel hungry, sleepy, need urgently to visit the loot, and things like that.
I think you should unistall it from your pc instead of pushing yourself to... get used to it.
4/10 for me. I stopped playing in about 40 mins. Only about 20 mins of actual gameplay since I kept sneaking off lol
Ha! I beat you there. I played for a whole 30 minutes -- thinking back that game session gives me the creeps. Boooooring.
But that's just me. Some people are addicted to the game. I don't see how....
Maybe they don't see any difference between role-playing and soap-opera games?
