The Sims is one of the most popular video game series in existence. One of the things which have made it so popular is it's appeal to a huge audience of people. However, as popular as the game is, it is not without it's own share of problems.
Here are 5 huge issues I personally have with the game
- Low Maximum Game Speed - Sometimes you just want to get through a day, but the game only lets you go so fast. This tends to make you bored waiting for a chance to actually do something in the game rather then waiting around watching your sim sleep.
- Lack of Originality - It's really hard to argue that the Sims 3 is worthy of being a completely new game and not just a upgrade from it's ancestors.
- Unrealistic Time Tables - Who in the world takes over two hours for a single bath? When my sim wakes up at six in the morning I damn well expect him to be able to be ready for work by eight, but apparently he's incapable of taking a bath in two hours let alone make and eat breakfast.
- Annoying pop-up advice - The game basically assumes that the player is totally incapable of figuring anything out. Everytime you try out a new function of the game it asks you if you need help with the game.
- Lack of Value - Remember the Sims 1 and 2 and how they initially were playable but pretty incomplete as far as being able to live a second life to their fullest. Sims 3 is the same way, and your paying $50 for it. Undeniably, EA will release a large number of expansion packs and charge a premium for them. If you buy all the expansion packs to make the game truely complete, then the Sims 3 will be one of the most expensive games you've ever played. Might as well get the previous games in a value pack and save yourself the money since the games are practically the same.
