    The Sims 3

    Game » consists of 24 releases. Released Jun 02, 2009

    Electronic Arts follows up to the hugely successful Sims 2 with an improved character creation system, an open neighborhood, and a greater focus on character development.

    Is anyone else pumped for this to be hitting consoles?

    Honestly I am just excited for the idea of an S rank for Sims. Being I don't play PC games (because mine is a piece of junk) and that I love the Sims I can hardly wait this next week for this game.

    I assume you're talking about Sims 3.  I already own it on PC, but I think it's smart if they're finally bringing the full Sims experience to consoles.

    The only thing that stopped me from playing previous Sims games was that I could play them forever with no end at sight, hopefully Achievments will solve that (and add to the addiction while it lasts).
     
    So yeah, very much looking forward to it.

    I'm just worried about how it will control. I mean, it's kind of like it is with RTS games in the sense that a mouse and keyboard is preferred. Or at least a mouse is.

    I'm sure it will control fine (the past Sims have), what gamers should worry about is performance. Menus and loading were slow as shit in the PS2 Sims games.

    I can never understand why people want to play The Sims on a console, but I guess a shitty PC is a good enough excuse to go console.

    I'm pretty excited about this.  I bought The Sims 3 for the PC, but it has major conflicts with my hardware and locks up about ten or fifteen minutes into each game.  I doubt this will be a day one purchase for me, but I can definitely see trying to pick it up around the holidays.

    Fuck yes. I loved playing the PS2 and Xbox ones even with all the problems. Plus, this is gonna help in my quest to get my sister back into gaming.

    Nope. I rely too much on Custom Content for my replayability for the Sims 3.

    I always felt the console versions of The Sims were terrible compared to their PC counterparts.

    the QL makes this game look pretty awesome. Ryan seemed alright with the control scheme, seems pretty streamlined all things considered. Pumped to get this, my missus loves the Sims but we are PC-less currently so have not been able to delve into it.
