Sims 3

[cerulean16]

I just read about a new Sims 3 game. Here's the link.

What are your thoughts? Do you think it's worth getting? Will it be as good as/better than Sims 2?

I've looked at some of the screenshots of the actual new SIMS and, honestly, I don't think they look very good. The eyes look like they're made of glass, and the skin looks chalky. However, I think the new personality options will be amazing and I am deffinatly going to buy it when it comes out.

HISSSSSSS...The root of all eeeeeevil!

I totally hate TS3. I know that TS2 is *almost* getting outdated compared to some games, but I love those little quirks that light up a face every time. Like sims jumping in excitement from a dazzle, or the little naughty rush from a sim's affair woohoo.

I intend to not buy TS3. Ever. I like our little hamster cages.

I originally played Sims, then, when Sims 2 came out, it was SO much more amazing. And Sims 2 is still amazing. I'm wondering how Maxis can really out do themselves with a new one. They did a fantasic job on TS2 and I hardly see anything they can do to make TS3 truly "awesome". Of couse I will buy it, but I am still worried about if my PC has settings that can handle a MORE advanced game than Sims 2.

I don't intend to buy it. :/
I like the Sims2, and I've invested way too much time, money, and effort into my game to just abandon it. Like someone already said, I love all the little quirky things that they're going to "fix" in the Sims3. Anyway, regarding that new personality customization thing, I don't see why they can't just release a Sims2 expansion that modifies it.
Plus, I read on noukiesims2 that the security system they're going to use for TS3 and Spore will be a MAJOR pain in the butt. Constant renewal of serial numbers every two weeks, etc, etc.

After what I've heard about it, I am curious. I won't stand here and say that I'll never buy it, but I will take a good look at it when it comes out the same as I did for Sims 2.

As for he graphics, anything we see right now is still in testing. The graphics are not in their final form, of course. I'm sure they will be working on the graphics more before it comes out.

I'm sort of excited about the new freedom Sims will supposedly have roaming the neighborhood and the new personality options. The graphics do look very different, though. I think the current Sims are cute. whee

well... they could make it so you don't need to get any expansions for it.

I might get Sims 3. The graphics look a lot...softer. Not as pixely.

i think they look tooooooo real and it takes some of the fun out....ive bought all the sims over the years (1 & 2) so ive spent alot of cash, i dont think i'll bother. im happy with sims2 mrgreen

I can't wait for TS3 to come out, the characters look more realistic, I only hope that we can get closeups of the screen.  

[Surprise In-the-Box]

TS3 seems interesting. I don't really care what Maxis made the sims look like, since there will probably be a ton of Custom Content that will change the skins and eyes anyways. I'm always looking forward to something different, and I am interested to see how it's going to work.

I can't wait! I just hope they thought of the people who use The Sims to make movies with. With an open neighbourhood, it seems like it would be hard. but I definitely can't wait to buy it!
