"The console version of the PC megahit lacks fluidity, though it's still fun in its own right."

I honestly think critics will never accept The Sims on consoles because of how great it is on PC. I'm sure console only players will enjoy this very much. I have the PC version but I'm still getting the 360 version tonight for my GF when I pick up Fable 3. Should be a good game, Sims is always great fun.

They should have had the console version with built in mouse/keyboard support, the problem is though that so few people use a KB/M on their consoles, next gen they should bundle one in with the console that way console gamers can get full fledged RTS games and there will be no excuse for lack of support, diablo 4 anyone?

I wanted Move support at the least. I really want it on my console, but slow load times and the unnatural controls is going to make me cautious

This is part of that "lazy dev" syndrome we been hearing and talking about.

Games like this and RTS's aren't bad or subpar on consoles because consoles can't handle them....

They tend to be subpar because developers shortcut the experience.

Even if this game got 11/10s I still wouldn't play it.

Then why did you come here?

"Then why did you come here?"

Same reason trolls flock to Kinect topics I guess....

I haven't gotten around to playing the PC version yet. Now that the PC version is cheaper than it was I should pick that up. It wouldn't hurt to also buy the PS3 version when the price drops as well, to see how well this game performs on console. Good game for console gamers though. Maybe when I get a new GF, this would be a perfect gift!

My roommate is picking this up tomorrow. It's a solid score for a console version of The Sims. I have it for my MacBook Pro, it just feels right playing it on a computer, but hey, to each their own.

We Need a ‘The Sims 4 ‘Competitor! Why don’t We Have One?

The Sims franchise has been a part of my life ever since the first game came out. It was one of two games I camped outside of a store for, the other one being Black & White.

What's the oldest game you currently have installed on your PC?

Maybe you've got a favorite game from the olden days you never get rid of. Maybe you're a scrupulous uninstaller and you don't have anything from before 2013 on your pristine PC. Maybe you've got something from the 1990s taking up several whole megabytes you completely forgot about.

Age of Empires. And I still play it.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

I did have Loom but I didn't like it.

I've been replaying a bunch of old adventure games, lately. I had been playing a bunch of text adventures, but those are uninstalled now. At the moment, the oldest thing I have installed is Sierra's Police Quest Collection. When I'm done with that, I'll be moving on to Space Quest, Quest for Glory, and finishing with the best: King's Quest.

ravinash1875d ago

Space quest, that brings back memories.
