Anyone else disappointed?

[Aeroprincess87]

The demos dropped this week and to be honest, I was a little disappointed. No differing heights between characters, an open world with static lot placement and limited residential lots, bare bones careers, bare bones animations between characters, cutscenes for alot of stuff that should probably be actual gameplay like proposals, weddings, and having a baby. I dunno, this just looks and feels like a prettier, realistic version of Sims 4 to me with open neighborhoods. Even their speech sounds like Simlish.

Well you could just wait until GTA 6 anyways EA is at the end of the year.

Nope, was not at all disappointed in what I've seen so far. For one, it's a brand new IP and despite that it already has a far better character creator and building system than the Sims has ever had. You can create your own clothing designs in the game. You can create different furniture designs and 3D objects. Also, the game is still in development and more than likely will be for some time and the devs are interested in player input for the development process.

It seems they didn't want to take the rabbit hole approach, but the downside is it seems they're sticking to 2 full time 2 part jobs per city. Like if you wanna be a firefighter you gotta play in Dowon, and if you wanna play in Dowon your career choices are Idol, Firefighter and a part-time job like cashier which is available everywhere. Saying this is limiting would be an understatement.

So yeah, people who think Inzoi on release will be as good as Sims 4 after a decade of updates are in for a disappointment. Or people who expect they won't have to pay for city-sized DLC to get access to stuff they're interested in.

This game will never be exactly like the sims 1:1 but it's certainly doing a lot of better things.

I'm not even expecting a sims replica, just something with depth. Paralives and To Pixelia seem to have actual gameplay depth. The demo previews from all thr YouTubers just made it look like a glorified machinima maker to me and not much else. I mean if that's their main focus, cool. But I feel like after twenty minutes of actual gameplay I'd be bored. Babies don't even seem to need to be taken care of which is crazy to me.

"No differing heights"

Pov : how you can tell he is in to lolly stuff... lmao

If that's the first thing your mind goes to, then I think it's mainly a "you" issue.

I wasn't aware that GTA games are life sims.

Keep in mind - it's an alpha build, not even released into early access. And as such it looks already good. We will have to wait and see what the final game will look like.

I know you shouldn't feed the trolls, but first off I'm a woman. My username would be a good indicator of that if you had any reasonable reading conprehension skills and leaned how to read basic context clues in elementary school. Second, people are different heights in real life. If it's a life sim, I expect there to be different heights for characters in 2024. This had nothing to do with sex and just expecting the bare minimum from a game that seems to be largely built around aesthetics.

implementing different heights would bring a lot of complications that honestly should not be the focus right now the game has many more pressing matters gameplaywise just to make a short person happy they can add that latter down the line when the game is full feature

Have you ever played GTA? It is defacto one of the best criminal life sims out there. It misses the raising family feature but the games have had a lot of life sim elements lol.

[Nidstang]

Honestly, even if it plays 100% like Sims 4 I'm about it simply because EA NEEDS some competition in this genre. I'm hopeful Paralives will be good too.

i can actually explain to you why different heights aren't a good idea, and i'm going to use the sims as an example

now the sims never had this naturally, but mods added them, and they didn't work very well

when people kissed, their lips wouldn't touch, hugs looked weird, and any interaction with another sim wouldn't work very well.

this would push the game back a lot for something that really isn't that important to begin with.
