A little slow?

As I said in the other thread, terrible news. I hope it gets held back so they can improve it, and make the Sims look slightly more normal. It's Sims, not Spore.

The Sims look fab! As they said, they're not focussing on the sims as much. They're focussing on gameplay.

How can you make The Sims 3 and not focus on the Sims?!

I dunno. You do realize the game was 60% finished back in February?

I knew it was mostly completed, yes.

That doesn't change my opinion on it, however.

I'm not even sure if I want to buy it anymore, which is a shame, as I've followed this series since the release of The Sims 1.

Better not do that until the release date, you won't be able to play Sims 3, if you know what I mean.

I don't think I'll bother buying it straight away.

For a start, as Becky mentioned, I don't really think that the sims look 'simmy' enough. Then there's the fact that it would most likely kill my computer! And also, I'm not stopping my legacy that I have going at the moment and I won't have them finished my February!

That is sooo not one of the reasons I'm so reluctant to let go either.

They should focus on both the aspects, people don't want to be controlling things that look like they came out of a cartoon made in 5 minutes.

.. and for the record, they look anything but "fab".

My non-existant dog could have made better Sims.
