Sims 3: The saga of the fantastic failure

Post by Reliant121 »

Okay. I got this game when It came out in the UK. Its not exactly what people would probably play round on this site but it doesnt really matter. Anyone heard of the Infamous EA bug fetish that seems to be happening with all their modern games? well....Fear not! They have done absolutely....Fuck all to change it here. Literally thousands of people have bought this otherwise fantastic game, to find that they cant play more than 15 minutes of it without it either crashing their computers, or crashing to desktop. myself included. Strangely it works fine on me mam's iMac, but some people are still getting the crashes on Mac's.

What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Didn't even realise there was a third game out.

I played the first one when it came out. It was fun for a while and it's certainly a nice concept, but I got bored of if very quickly.

I played the first one... typed in the money cheat created a house that would make a psycho proud then slowly killed off my residents one by one...

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

the last time Sims made it to a console, it crashed and burned with reviews.

Hopefully the update that EA will inevitably be forced to publish will get rid of issues.

*meh* I care not for the opinions of reviewers, I often like games that "gamers" piss on. I'm more concerned about bugs.

I played the grandfather of them all, Simcity WAYYYY back when. But these new Sims games, I just don't get. At all. Even the nudity isn't interesting me.

Google type in "sims 3 crash" or something, and there should be hundreds of links about it, US UK EU...all plagued. Even the sims 3 community forums have it on there and most of them are american.

Oh, man, I remember SimAnt. That game ruled.

Those spiders were bastards at the beginning of the game, though. Kept eating all my ants!
