I think EA is freaking out over inZOI... 

I love your criticisms daddy don’t stop

They’ve been saying they will fix bugs from game packs for years now

@@ReginaTrans_no diddy😭😭

I took a gamble and bought Lovestruck from them via your link. I hope you get that bag, baby!

We tried to buy a game on Instant Gaming using our debit card and they instead wanted our banking information to make sure we weren't using a stolen card. Seems fishy, so we backed out of the transaction. Have you bought a game from them, and did they require your banking information?

This is why inzoi needs to succeed. Competition brings out the best

just 10?? it's been 24 years without EA letting us participate in the process of sims 1, 2, 3 and 4 and all of a sudden... 🤣 it's funny tho

i swear i saw you say "Thank you daddy BHVR" about the new dbd blood points?? I might be wrong

Pretend to care is right! Sims has been one of their biggest games for profit for decades now, but they just ignore it and focus on everything else. This competition with inZoi is good! They're learning the hard way that if you don't want to listen to your own loyal consumers, someone else will do it for you and they're realising how much they're going to miss out on in profits when inzoi is released 😂 And I can't blame them, it looks PHENOMENAL 😅 I haven't been this excited for a life sim in years!

they literally are just pretending too. They did it with NCAA25. They make positive changes temporarily to rope people in and once they got your money/trust they pull a bait and switch and go right back to putting out terrible products.

literally omgggggg

Exactly. I joined the sims community from sims 4 and when first playing I was so surprised by how many ideas I had just for them to be locked behind expansions.

PERIOD!!!!!!

Y'all are so dramatic in the comments. 😂

AGREED!!!!!!

And paying for it.

​@@ArgusLart I came to say the same thing 😂

LOL

Paytesting lol

We should be paid something for every single pack bought and hours played 😂

EXACTLY!

Not for free... You have been paying

@@youtuvi7452exactly

By playing the inZoi demo you're also being their QA, for free..... just sayin'

​@@That-X-Factorthe main difference being, for now at least, you don't have to pay to play test it, whereas EA asks you give them 30 to 40 euros each time to have the honor to join the new pack's beta test.

Lmao, that's the worst part of it

well The Sims 3 cas still gives me nightmares

Even in 2014, The Sims 4 already felt primitive in comparison. 😷😷

Literally i even prefer sims 2 over sims 4 😭😭

​@@matheusleite3864I'd say especially in 2014 😂

Same. :D

Me too!

People who can't run the game cuz you need a really good PC for it be like : 😅

@@Psycho_Cute i’m not tripping, i have to finish setting up my ts2 to play that again 😅

I'd love to switch over, but it isn't available on macs atm. I'm hoping they make a mac version

exactly

I think mediocrity is an overstatement

@@Meodon383 understatement more like

@@Nervous101 lol im confused i had that originally but then to call it mediocre is too kind. Its an overstatement. What they've delivered is below the bare minimum. Its an insult to customers. Its literally a car with missing parts.

Maybe they just don't know how to do it

@@user-pm2ip1oy2y Because their employees paid more attention to being woke than actually learning how to build games.

@@user-pm2ip1oy2ywtf you mean? They do, they just don’t want to

@saltycat662 For real though it feels like Sims 4 has more community management positions than programmers or animators. Also I’m pretty sure those programmers and animators are unpaid interns that have to do the coding in between fetching coffee for the community managers.

@@user-pm2ip1oy2yThey know how to. They just won’t pay people to actually fix it.

Paralives so looks like everything I wanted after Sims 2. Sims 3 is a good game, there are just ways it wasn’t for me and I always liked Sims 2 better. I’ve basically modded Sims 4 into as much of a Sims 2 sequel as I could manage 😂😂

paralives development will take so much longer unfortunately

​@bobacore it's coming out in early access next year iirc

​@@bobacore isn't it coming out next year?

@@bobacore I don't mind because they're an indie publisher. They don't have the big investors and large workforce like a AAA company EA is.

Exactly! 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

No. We needed this a lot earlier so we wouldn't end up with a buggy mess that is TS4

💯💯💯💯

​@heppelhopv2 I think their point is that it's too late to ask for playtesters because they've neglected the game and to get player feedback in an organized way. now all they really need to do is have an intern sit down and scroll through social media for a week, compiling all the complaints

@@aquatiger8 I understand

Yeah no at this rate The Sims is, without a doubt in my mind, cooked.

@@HunterCooksey The Sims 4 don’t need a discord now. It needs to just discontinue as a whole. They are like 9 years past the idea that making major changes now since they have competitors is going to make us happy. The game is still going to be lousy no matter how much feedback they get or have gotten. They don’t give a damn about any us. It’s all about money. 💰

@@mikey3758 Agree! I will not be supporting anything else that the brand has to offer.

not only that supporting Mods on release that win me

I’ve seen how much they’ve added and changed since the first look of the game. So it’s genuinely promising when developers are listening to feedback

@@myalex. I agree! They are panicking now. So, now, they want to play like they are going to fix things and improve the game experience when we have given them years to do right and yet no feedback or changes. The Sims 4 is like having a horrible spouse that wants to stay married but doesn’t make the effort to make you fall in love again. Inzoi will gladly get my hand in my second marriage. 😆

A whole decade and we still don't have cars or vehicles in the game at least like the sims 2 💀

You're an 1diot lmao. Playtesting is incredibly common in games, especially in online multiplayer games.

Same

🤣🤣

Omg😭

EVILLL

so real 😂😂😂😂

@@design.of.reality 😭‼️

Right? If I call someone out for being toxic and then they straighten up without apologizing, all I see is proof the person knows how to behave, they just chose not to be respectful. And I block them and walk away, because that kind of person is always trying to see what they can get away with, not build friendships and community trust.

@@steggopotamus Facts👌🏽👌🏽

@@leocutie9419 Exactly! 😆 The Sims 4 don’t need anymore of our time or money. We just all need to just uninstall.

They don't love the game, they love the idea of it.

@@audreytwoThat’s completely true actually and I didn’t even think about it that way. I love the idea of the sims 4, just not the game itself because of all the mods I usually download.

thank you, the sims always felt very…. almost satirical, for me? like it was a parody of real life, making fun of the absurdity and randomness while simultaneously highlighting the mundane routine of what life really is.

I read a comment on someone else’s Inzoi video with a lot of upvotes that they were so excited and happy for Inzoi because they were tired of the goofyness that The Sims had; they mentioned the gnomes, llamas, and aliens, and they were tired of these ridiculous concepts in the sims and are glad Inzoi doesnt have dumb stuff like that. I cant say I agree with this commentator but it opened my eyes that there were sims players who actually hated the whimsy lol

Yeah ngl it's the vampires that keep me, as someone who loves vampires and likes keeping my vampire OCs in my simulators. If inzoi did this, they have my vote.

@@cloudfan1010102 always fair, my gripe is that ALL of them seem to fill that niche and none the other. a blend is welcomed but alas i do enjoy playing with occults and the like and i do hope to see at least one of them try something of the sorts!

​@@cloudfan1010102Don't forget witches and fairies, they can miss me with that. I'm glad most of the time it's DLC content but the alien abduction used to grind my gears.

No seriously I'm still mad they made the game free after I bought it on launch.

NOT only sims3 was better but also sims 4 has been so glitchy I stopped playing and switched to Animal crossing and Dreamlight valley. I guess sims will be history if EA doesnt take action now!

I'm excited too. The only thing that would bring me back to play Sims would likely be the humor and absurdity of it. It's not a true life simulation, and it's fun to see a sim die of embarrassment, a vampire wandering into my house, those annoying gnomes, etc. EA should lean into that side of the Sims harder instead of trying to compete directly with Inzoi.

@@hoseoksrealwife I agree! I am planning on deleting anything that has to do with The Sims from my gaming laptop once Inzoi arrives. I’m over The Sims and so thankful that there is a competitor who values the customer as much as the gaming experience.

I am so happy I can play it on my laptop

I really hope they remove the ai art

Where can I install the demo?

They chose the stylized cartoony look because its timeless. They knew the game would be out for decades so they needed an art syle that would be able to keep up with modern games years later. Stylized is the perfect art style for that. I mean, just look at how gorgeous the worlds in Sims 4 still look even today, after so many years.

@@Oozaru85 I understand what you mean but another problem is that the clothing in the sims looks super outdated anyway. They had some mod creators do the clothing in newer packs which was great but Inzoi in comparison is just more modern and stylish without the use of mods. And the fact that Inzoi is around the corner just shows that the look of the Sims 4 will eventually be outdated.

TS3 graphics literally burn my eyes. It's uncanny, it's too bright. It's just doesn't feel right. But TS4 graphics is just better. At least for me. Because of the style. The colors are nice, and the lighting is nice. The only problem for me is texture quality. Sometimes, it feels blurry. But I really like that stylized look. It just needs some upgrades with new technologies

The fact that the 2 commenters above are signing praise of TA4’s ugly ass design is so crazy. Stockholm Syndrome anyone?? Like you cannot tell me that the hideous cartoony look of TS4 ever looked good. But I guess for every terribly ugly game there will always be players overlooking its flaws, as they are ok with stagnant mediocrity 😭💀

@@cloudfan1010102 true.😭Ngl we all know that some people in the community would literally defend anything that EA does at this point.

They still got a lot of money out of simmers in the first place, they’re currently just milking the game for what they can

@@sillygo0oser the sims games are only ones peeps willing to buy because there wasnt much competition on life sim games

I rather have a good base game and have optional DLC (inZOI) than have a bad base game and bad unfinished DLC(TS4)

@@LeFuilI think its too early to say InZoi has a better base game because honestly in a lot of ways it doesn’t. Like the dead way Zoi’s float around each other even after being married and living in the same home is worrisome. And I’ve already heard people say ‘just wait for mods’. Like huh, wasn’t that a huge issue. Sims allegedly needs mods and all the DLC to be fun? That along with the still avoided question of how they are monetizing the game doesn’t have me saying ‘tic, InZoi ahead of the Sims’ right now they both have equal weaknesses in different ways just looking at base game. I am also not throwing it to the ground and saying ‘InZoi trash, staying with Sims’ but I am being decerning about another huge company witha much money grubbing history. Besides looking modern and new, there’s still a lot of ‘meh’ in InZoi where they haven’t cleared the bar for me.

@@TheDawnofVanlife InZOI is already 100 times better than Sims 3 and 4 together.

@@TheDawnofVanlife​​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠ it may be a bit too early becs it’s still in development. But to be an unfinished game and still miles ahead of what the Sims has ever done isn’t going unnoticed. The Zois seeming dead around each other just seem like a game that’s unfinished, and interactions are still being worked out. They have whole new systems they’re introducing that we haven’t seen yet. I mean it just seems obvious atp that’s the reason for it. The game is still in construction and they were considerate enough to share this game while in construction, be vulnerable, and actively listen to feedback and engage in conversation and discussion with players. EA does none of that or really the bare minimum. They have completely tarnished the reputation of the Sims franchise and is quite frankly worse in their money-grabbing practices than Krafton has been with this game so far. It’s interesting seeing such heavy criticism and energy for a game that they continue to repeat is under development, content is still subject to change, this is not the final product vs. the Sims that has been a completed game for years now.

there's also Paralives coming too

Cause EA stands for Everything's Ancient

😂💀​@@AlexParkYT

It always has 🌏👨‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀

I hope they made their money, they're gonna need every penny to last because the gravy train is quickly grinding to a halt.

@@ladylush7931 I just know that I’m not buying another pack. I don’t even have every pack and now I know I’m not giving them another red cent of mine.

You're riding them too hard when the game hasn't even released yet. Reminds me of the paralives bots who were glazing it 24/7.

​@@lilyflower5895do you mean lifebyyou?

@@ciciciciciclala Both actually. These people have been voluntarily burnt so hard by EA, they're willing to glaze games that haven't even released yet. Annoying and delusional 🙄.

@@lilyflower5895 wait are you talking about bots or people?

@@ciciciciciclala People behaving like bots. The delusional crowd that shares a single braincell. The hive mind population.

huh? fans becoming unpaid volunteer testers has been done since forever ago. hell, you can even find in other industries too, sport for example F1 marshals. not that the rest of your point invalid, but i failed to see how the two correlates. unless you're actually working as a QA tester for a company, i don't see why it's a problem.

@@bangsuha_ It's a problem because the corporation makes all the profit with none of the work. This won't make games cheaper.... And for the record, this type of BS from AAA devs only became a thing when consoles got internet connections, so late PS2, PS3\XB360. Prior to internet connections on consoles, AAA devs had to sell a complete and fully functioning product or there was massive refunds and the devs were dead in the water. A in the near past, a buggy, broken game ended companies..... Now they just sell whatever they want and walk away with the money. And the return policies are atrocious on digital platforms. AAA gaming is scamming us.

I don't know, gta on that list feels like having a wedding cake at a birthday party!

​@@federicoferrara8189That sounds dope

they made too much from the packs this is why they didn't feel the need to bring sims 5 out yet.

We should be on Sims 6 now but they've been forcing us to play an ancient game.

I agree, inZOI is very pristine compared to the Sims and I think it lacks that "Imperfectly beautiful" aspect. but I think it's important to remember that inZOI has delivered a LOT of the things players have requested from the Sims team and then some, in the playtest alone. I have no doubt that theyll expand customization on many levels once its officially released.

@@mikey3758Besides the aestetics tho (open world, cars, laundry machines) it still seems lacking on a lot of the internals to socials and life sims in playtesting tbh. A lot of the realisim ends at design or is just pretty much on par with the Sims. Still plan on playing it, but once the shine of new and different is dusted off there’s a lot that’s lacking. I still think the real test is when the public has it for about two weeks. Its gonna sell well but how it holds after that will say a lot.

I’ve heard about that too!

TBH you're already spending 1000 dollars on the sims if you buy every pack, might as well give InZoi a chance. I've heard it too which is why I have shied away from it, but I think if they avoid microtransactions for a while upon release, then everybody will enjoy it and then they can pull out the micro transactions later. It's just a repackaged EA, but it depends on how much care they put into it. Tbh I'm waiting for paralives.

and they use ai

​@@JellyfishButItHasAGunYeah, I'm giving a skip for that reason (no hate on people who do choose to play it though) and the style is a little too hyper realistic for my liking.

That's what I'm saying. No matter what they add to their trashy game I doubt they had even thought about giving us such a quality.

Eh, don't know about realistic graphics. I want something I can run on my computer.

I don’t want realistic graphics actually…

I hope they add occults cuz I love to play with them mostly as well

I hope they remove the ai art

from what i've seen they do fill all their needs on their own i've watched them do it. It is just everybody has been controlling them in videos 100% of the time and not letting that happen...

@@Anon1370 Its a very important part of a life sim game, imo. Yet no reviewer has mentioned it so far? They are comparing it to The Sims left and right, but no mention of such an important feature? Thats very weird. Its almost as if they have never played The Sims... I mean, I havent touched Sims 4 since April this year. But I have put hundreds of hours into the game and Sims autonomy is a feature that stands out the most to me. So yeah, really weird no one is mentioning it in Inzoi. Unless it really is a feature in the game and thats why they didnt mention it. Well, guess I will find out soon enough.

You’re gonna compare a game of 10 years to a game In development by all means keep playing your kitty game but grown adults are going to play inzoi

why is it hard for you to believe someone is critiquing a game 💀 i think inzoi looks bad and i also hate ea

@@reallyradrabbit critiquing the game is completely fair, but trying to say the character creator is limited is not.

Even Sims 1 CAS was better....

I'm a little worried as well. I hope they implement more "story" fueling things. Better autonomy for the townies, I'm not convinced they're going to be doing anything if you don't interact with them. Like having their own families and dramas. I love playing first person and focusing on just playing one character, which means my characters families and friends need to be interesting and fleshed out on their own, and I don't want to instigate all the drama and story. I'll still enjoy playing it, but I'm not entirely convinced it will fill that Sims niche for me. Especially Sims 3, was very good at having a living world move around you. Also agree on the limitations in the character creator. Seems like it's very based on templates without much further customization on face and body. If they have tons more templates I'd be okay with that though. I'm really interested to see how they flesh out the other life stages and such. Very "young adult simulator" right now which is what we complained about in Sims 4 for so long lol. I want to live from birth to death with plenty of unique features for every age. I'm gonna be buying it 100% because I love making characters and honestly I love just running around a city looking at the skyscrapers haha. But I'm hoping for more. The limitations on adding lots is troubling. But maybe it will be easy for modders to create new worlds, something I miss from Sims 2 & 3.

Why mention Korean? When you can make the most diverse looking characters in the game and they showed many characters with different ethnicities

There is a long time before that game is out. They will optimize it but keep in mind you can start looking at upgrading your pc slowly. I recommend looking at decent builds on pc partpicker to get an idea and price range. Good luck!

Same

I hope they remove the ai
