Well Sim City is bought for 5 bucks anyway.
Strange that the link doesn't work on the front page though if you want Sim City.

That's the fault of your set up. I play my PS3/PC on the same TV at a pleasant distance and I hated the PS3 demo because it looked and ran like shit and I couldn't stand the Dualshock 3. Fortunately, I have a nice lap desk and the HD version of the game that I have played to completion in my comfy reclining chair.scorpscarx said:

Any essential expansions? I'm thinking of grabbing the base game and Night Life.

It's a fucking piece of shit. Don't even bother. I believe Sim City 6 is returning to the roots.

"The Simcity Box" (retail) contains SC4, SC4 expansion, Snap City, and Societies, and its expansion, for $20 or less if on ska,e
i don't plan on buying a Sims game at this moment, but i remember the very first Sims game was pretty funny.
example:
building walls around your neighbor so he can't escape while you romance, bang, and live with his wife.
the poor guy was crying and pissing himself for days until he croaked. lol
another time i had created a young bachelor, who was having a quiet evening at home and decided to cook up some beans and wieners. all was going well until a fire broke out on the stove. in my character's attempt to put out the flames, he went up in flames himself.
he died a lonely death ...at home alone. all he wanted was a pot of beans and wieners. he paid for it with his life.
a shame.

The Sims' real innovation was making playing dollhouse and paying for the obscenely overpriced accessories socially acceptable for adults.Snuggler said:

I saw The Sims 3 was on sale. And then I saw that it was $24 with several $10-$20 expansions. That's insane. I think I can stick to The Sims 1. If only houses had the option for geothermal...

That's how we got sports.Princess Skittles said:
I find it hilarious that Section 8: Prejiduce costs the same as a map pack. But the maps and how they're balanced can make or break an online multiplayer game. They're necessary components that inform the gameplay in a meaningful way.
On the other hand, I'm not sure that extra BBQ grills and hot tubs are going to meaningfully alter the core Sims experience. It's just neat stuff for your virtual avatar that people are OCD over for some reason. Like TF2 hats. But the current Sims business model completely revolves around the creation and sale of those items.

The Sims is really its own thing. I don't necessarily agree with the number and pricing of the expansion sets, but it exists and works because it's the type of game that a lot of people basically only buy and play that game so it's not like they're not spending $60 every two weeks for the hottest, newest game, magazine featured, zillion dollar ad campaign game.

I would have tried Sims 3 were it cheaper, but there is zero temptation at that price. I don't know what they're thinking. The people who care already own it, and those that are curious can pick it up on sale anywhere for that price. I agree with the earlier poster who said the base game should have been cheaper (like $10) with the goal to get people hooked and buy the DLC.

Yeah . . . I have little to no interest but I would have picked up that old Sims 3 just to see what it was like if it was cheap. But that price? No thanks.nyong said:

Any genre can be done well on kb/m (well maybe not racing games) by saying your ok with having to use a a controller is basically like giving in to devs who can't be fucked coming up with decent controls for a game. I would never put a gamepad anywhere near my PC. Yuck.

You know, you only need to buy the expansion packs and not really the stuff packs. At least the expansion packs add more than just items. Though I guess non-Sim players wouldn't know about that.
Is Sims 3 worth it at that price? Not going to buy any of the DLC at that price. I think the last time I played Sims was 10 years ago. While it was fun, I didn't really miss it and it's list of a trillion extension packs.
I just want to know how good Sims 3 stand alone is. EA surely knew they were going to make a lot of DLC, so I'm guessing this is pretty bare bones, right?

The keyboard is a fine input option for fighting games. Directional control is less intuitive, but is faster than with a stick. Piano rolling would obviously be very easy. Keyboard is far superior to a controller for fighting games.scitek said:
The area where I feel a controller is a better option is any game where analog control is crucial. Simulation racers, any game with camera indepedent movement (like Devil May Cry). There are some games where the keyboard may be tehnically superior, but less comfortable and intuitive for me...Super Meat Boy would be a good example of this.
In the end though, you're right. It's all about having options.

My wallet is safe. Not that I have too much dinero in it, mind you. I'm waiting to splurge on the summer sale like a boss. I already own the retail version of The Sims 3 Deluxe and I haven't even played it that much.
From the little I tried, I didn't find too much of a difference compared to other Sim Cities.
Got it on the christmas sale. Its performance is really iffy. It stutters even without many things happening at once. Granted, my system is only entry-level (Dual core 2.60, 3 Gb RAM, 512 MB GT220), but still, I shouldn't have to experience choppiness with a game this old.LocoMrPollock said:
