clarinet_estimator, do gaming w EA re-release The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 on PC as DLC-stuffed Legacy editions

Mmm, nah. I’m not giving money to EA for the sims. I will continue to get every new install of sims and sims 2 from the open seas and play them with WINE without issue like I have been.

I see you EA, trying to get an emergency cash injection via nostalgia after flopping with the veilguard. This won’t keep you off the chopping block forever.

Yeah that’s exactly what this is. Panic buttons for instant cash

Zoop,

I’m genuinely surprised they hadn’t done it earlier.

DdCno1,

Large corporations, just like any large organization, have significant institutional momentum. I would bet good money that this move was planned for months, if not longer, and was not a reaction to Veilguard underperforming.

High seas is still the best way to experience these games!

That’s tempting… put too many hours into sims 2

I have lost my job to wider cuts a few times myself and on reflection, I think I prefer being “aligned” or “realigned” inasmuch as it makes me feel like a cool laser satellite. But I am not immune to the frictive charms of being “restructured”, which makes me feel like a Transformer

I absolutely love the comments on RPS. It’s hits like these which makes me keep coming back.

He’s right, this must just feel like a slap in the face for anyone affected by these layoffs.

Couldn’t have happened to nicer people. Reap what you sow.

If you’ve ever had to deal with a Gamergate dogpiling campaign, you are probably high as a kite on schadenfreude right now. You are probably knocking back a huge mug of crocodile tears.

Ayup.

ByteOnBikes,

I completely forgot about the term SJW until this little dig into history.

Somehow had no idea about the director. Shame. I was considering buying the game on GOG, and from the sounds of it, it’s actually pretty good despite his involvement. Ah well.

Gamergate is russian psyops astroturfing.

GammaGames, (edited )

Currently? Originally it was a hate mob 4chan created to target women in the game industry

Edit: oh nice, the article covers that

a febrile harassment campaign, originally sparked by somebody’s clownishly toxic grudge against their ex, who sometimes advertise themselves as being about “ethics in games journalism”

Mammothmothman,

4chan is a well known stomping ground for kremlin propagandists.

I still enjoyed the first game but wasn’t one of the lead devs on KCD a capital G Gamer? I remember some… interesting tweets from him. Was he booted or did he change his ways?

Edit: Derp, should have just read the article before commenting. Fascism eats its own yet again.

Amplitude games are never perfect but I like their art style.

Sounds amazing, only thing i didnt love about the last one was the combat. Fix that and its a 10/10 for me

I really liked the first one, despite its flaws. My cousin and I played hours of it. Excited to see what comes next.

BlameTheAntifa,

Together? Because I’ve never been able to play any of their games without major desync problems. The same desync bug has been in every one of their games since the beginning.

drone509,

We definitely had those too. Shorter games were pretty doable, and to be honest all we had time for anyway.

hypna,

I played this so long ago, and every game has flaws, but I don’t recall any big issues. What are the flaws you remember these eleven years later?

mosiacmango,

Extremely lopsided balance between factions. Most had interesting mechanics, some basically useless and some wildly overpowered. Apparently the new-ish aqua faction has an overwhelming mobility advantage, things like that.

They added these game changing titans to the game at one point that you could defeat and employ, but this was either just luck of the draw or not possible for some factions.

Combat was meh to boring, generally. The “look at us go” turn based zoom in fights were very boring to watch, and more boring to play.

The game dragged. Just dragged, to finish. I played dozens of times, and I dont think i fully finished the game more than maybe 3 times.

All that said, the games world building, plot, and overall interesting mechanics makes me hopeful for this sequel. If they can keep the fascinating lore going and fix the “game” issues, i’ll be there for it.

drone509,

The battle system and the bad desync issues on any multiplayer game longer than short-medium.

Yokozuna,

I loved it as well. Honestly, all of the DLC well fitting except the last one which wasn’t bad but I wouldn’t play with it on every campaign like all of the others.

Plus being able to host and let everyone else without the DLC play with those factions was awesome. I honestly might download it and play a campaign or two.

I’m gonna buy it just to zoom in and out of the map.

Dang, I got excited that we were getting another Amplitude.

yggstyle,

You, like me were probably thinking about this glorious game… and were equally disappointed that it wasn’t. 🥲
