Unfortunately, brown paper bags weren't invented until the mid 19th century, so she's out of luck~

Because obviously, no ugly woman has ever gotten lucky  :P

She's got huge... tracts o' land!

Based on last night and some more this morning I'm really enjoying the game. Yes I do miss the open world of S3 and the CAS features they took out but the games still good despite that. The multitasking was a revelation when it finally clicked. I was struggling to meet all my little guys needs to get that next promotion but there was just never enough hours in the day. Then well he was eating I told him to go watch TV next... and he got up with his food and brought it over to the TV. *Tiny ray of light* * Small choir* I like the new social interaction and the world, small sections that there are, feel more alive then the town in 3 did so that's nice. Base game to Base game I think this hold up so far, but I do have to see if I'll tire of it faster. With the inevitable expansions, assuming EA makes them worthwhile and not just DLC packs, I think this will be a solid addition to the series.
Oh and it runs well, Very well.

Surprisingly positive responses (on other forums) and having it pointed out to me that I could buy it off the Mexican store for around $37 mean I just bit the bullet. I'll report what I think  of it later as right now it's downloading and I have to head to work.

I haven't been convinced enough to buy it yet but if it will run without hitching every two seconds even with mods like overwatch and the graphics set down to basically wireframe then it's a small step up from 3 in my book.  :P

Are you sure your Sims 3 hitching is because of performance reasons? I could run it with no mods on a laptop that's several years old. There's a bug in TS3 where a sim gets stuck somewhere in the game world and the game hitches every few seconds while it tries to pathfind for them. This can be fixed by using the console to reset the sim. You usually don't know which sim it is, but "resetsim * " will reset all sims in your neighborhood.

That's one of the things overwatch dose automatically but I tried it just to be sure. Didn't help/  :(

DO NOT Buy the Sims 4, I cannot stress this enough.

It is a step back in almost every way. The amount of genuine improvements the game brings to the SERIES (rather then just The Sims 3) is rather small.

Even the features it has like Multitasking are BROKEN!!! as in too powerful (If you leave a stereo on... you never have to deal with fun ever again)

I'm waiting for more impressions. If people seem generally positive about it on the forums I frequent I'll pick it up. If reception is lukewarm I'll hold out for a sale. If people generally hate it I'll give it a pass for now. I love 3 and every thing it added but it's unplayable for me after a while. It hitches and freezes every few seconds and crashes without warning. I don't know if it's bad programming or if it's something to do with my computer but features I enjoy in a game I can't play can only count for so much.

"Our plan as of right now is to get Hossin, continent locking, outfit recruitment & outfit base capture live with next week's update."



I'll believe that when me shit turns purple etc etc

It reminds me of the whole second coming of Jesus thing. "Jesus is coming, guys! Honest! Any century now!"

We Have Hossin!

I, on the other hand, am 100% happy with vehicles not resembling their real world counterparts. The game would be trash if we went by NullForce's ideals.

For only people that dont know how to play with tanks!!! I'm sorry, but seriously the fact that the MAIN focal point of a modern military equipment is around the tank and how to kill it. There are legions of munitions that are meant to kill tanks but the MAIN fact of it, TANKS KILL TANKS. Also, TANKS ARE THE FOCUS ON MODERN WARFARE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, AND FUCK Cod MF PUNKS THAT THINK OTHERWISE!!! Tanks are the primary force that drives the assault, everything else is support to it. I would love it more with it being more realistic with shotguns and SMG's only being EFFECTIVE at close range. Assault weapons being the mainstay of most solders, while anyone with a light machine gun can ACTUALLY BE EFFECTIVE TACTICALLY BY GIVING SUPPRESSING FIRE.

If I wanted a realistic simulation of modern tactics and combat I'd be playing ARMA.

You stupid, Stupid Pope! I contribute 50% of the warscore  on the bloody crusade, hemorrhaging gold to do so, and you give the land to The Knights Hospitaller?! Did they even show up?!

PTW

Is this... accusation leveled at anything specific, or just the game in general?

I now have a mattherson Vanu Character if you guys want to recruit me
I just sent a friend request. next time I see you on VS I'll throw you an invite.

If I may note, my in game name is Zonas, someone got to Zona before me. The outfits [DaPP], we're the largest VS outfit on Mattherson and currently include 3 bay12ers. I'm a Pl and will happily throw an invite at anyone who sends me a tell in game.

Biolabs are hardly the worst designed place. I've had a squad describe taking over Subterranean Nanite Analysis as 'Either sneak in when no one is there, or bombard the defenders with lashers and MAXs until they leave and you don't instantly die when you go down a floor'.
Sorry that your first Alert with DaPP was spend mostly at a Biolab. Heh, That's the way the lanes shake down sometimes.

One of the NC Outfits (I won't name them 'cause they're in NCFU ::)) was saying the the second in command of DaPP was trying to organize the TR to only push the NC, with the promise of second place, a few weeks ago. No one really believed them.

Any truth to that? Just wondering.

*Shrug* No idea. There's not really a second in command, when I say where casual I mean Casual. It's not outside of the realm of possibility. Personally I like to focus on the larger pop side.  If we had still been tied with the TR in the last 10 mins today I was going to take my whole platoon and go help the NC cap a territory.
Though organizing a truce with the TR may be difficult for Mattherson VS as there's still some residual bad feeling against the TR from the days of The Enclave.

Oh, and I love the lasher. It is the definition of situational though. Using it to defend a Biolab will get you more kills then you know what to do with, but use it well you're assaulting across an open field and it may as well be a water gun.
