How many Sims games are there?

Anyway I'm playing Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.

[Serza5]

There are 6 Sims games on different consoles excluding the expansion packs for the PC games, there are hundreds of those.

[VNKzero]

i wanted to play rayman 3 but my mum was watching CSI. CSI is shit.

[Cairnie]

Do you have only like 1 TV or something?

[VNKzero]

yeah.

[Limely]

I decided to be a bad person and aquire Sims the cheapest way. :B
EA will make billions on this game anyway so I'm not really feeling bad about it.

Today I played a bit Rayman 3 on my old Xbox, but the controllers are completely fucked up so I couldn't even get through the Fairy Council as Rayman would just roll and take aim at stuff randomly. I think I might be able to fix those controllers though... It's too bad Rayman 3 isn't backwards compatible. :c

[VNKzero]

im drawring plans for rayman 4.

[soxfan2006]

I just bought far cry 2 so ive been playing that. The game has awesome multiplayer and the map maker is sweeet.

[Phoenixan]

FarCry 2 is fun in a retarded sort of way. It feels rewarding somehow to hijack a guy's jeep, drive across the landscape, run over more, and then continue to hijack more and more vehicles in one area until you end up with an easily-combustible pile of metal explosive madness.

FarCry 2: The game where you can kill more people in Africa than AIDS.

Just beat Hitman: Blood Money, including the final level with the "good ending."

[Puruun]

Just beat Okami..

I'm going to play TLOZ:Twilight Princess soon.

[Rsandee]

I'm playing TLOZ Majora's Mask... i dindn't even complete Ocarina of time yet.... but i'm gonna finish this one first!!
I already freed that wierd tribal spirit from the Woodfall temple

[Droolie]

Just beat Okami..

It was an awesome ending, wasn't it?
Too bad that Clover Studios ( now PlatinumGames ) doesn't have the rights to Okami anymore...

[Cairnie]

It'd be cool if there was a DS version of Okami, you could totally use the stylus as a celestial brush. :B

[Droolie]

Yes, that'd be awesome indeed ( except for the graphics ).
I don't really care for more versions of the same game though, I'd just love to see a sequel/prequel, or no, even better, another game that follows completely different characters, but in the same genre and with the same epicness as Okami.

Yeah, the ending was awesome, but I hated how they recycled the boss fights in the ark of Yamato. I got angry when I discovered that I had to face Orochi for the THIRD time.

The credits should have been added too, without credits it doesn't feel like an ending to me.
AND Amaterasu's awesome final form should have been a Karmic Transformer.

[Droolie]

That's true. Did you play the PS2 version, by the way? That one has credits, and the song that plays while the credits are rolling is awesome. You should watch the credits on Youtube.

[Limely]

I've been trying to get a copy of Okami for the Wii with no luck. :c The local game-shop is so shitty.

Still playing Sims 3, and Assassin's Creed.
Assassin's Creed is awesome and I now wear my awesome Assassin's Creed t-shirt (which I won in the Rayman fanart contest at RZ a while back) with pride. Except it's in size XL for males and I use S for females so it's like wearing a tent. Anyways I'm so hyped for the second game now.

[text wall]
Sims 3 is less awesome. I'm kind of fed up with it already, but it runs okay, if a bit choppy and with low framerates and shitty graphics on my Mac. That's not really the game's fault though; Macs weren't made with gaming in mind.
Also there's something wrong with the time-controller, so it's not letting me speed up during night and shizz, and it's a bit boring to watch my sims sleep for eight sim-hours and then have them wake up, go to work and wait for them to get home for another six. I solve this by keeping three sims with different schedules so that I'll have something to do all the time.
ALSO the selection of hairstyles for males is SHIT and I would also like stockings for males, or at least socks that go above the knee, because it's funny and I need it for dress up purposes, baw. Also knickerbockers. Any wardrobe is incomplete without knickerbockers and that includes the Sims-wardrobe.

I made some of my characters and put them in a house to watch them squabble. The likeness is striking, both in personality, looks and interactions, haha. I keep getting surprised by that; some of the things they do when I leave them in idle, are just so in character and LOL.


How can you possibly torture your sims when they look at you with those puppy-eyes. :c It's like "HAHA I'll starve you now!"
ono
"...Or maybe not."

What I do love about Sims 3, is the softness. The features of the characters are softer and rounder and as such, feel more real, compared to Sims 2 where they were awful and really hard and sharp. I also love the new personality traits-system. The sim at the bottom there is clumsy, hydrophobic and a hothead, so he keeps throwing hissy fits when I have him take a shower, and he's tripping everywhere and it's hilarious to watch because he's also got a pear-bottom, which makes it twice as funny. c: It's fun to see how the sims actually have different personalities this time, instead of different levels of clean-ness and nice-ness and what not.
Oh yeah, I also love the improved control you have over your sim's weight and body-type, and how many different types you can achieve... But I still would like to control the height of my sims, though I see why that can be difficult.
ALSO the lack of loading screens and the way you are not just limited to your own little plot anymore, but can move your sims anywhere within the city without any loading time is wonderful, and opens up for a lot more fun and makes exploring town and meeting new Sims a lot more natural. You can now make one sim stay at home and cook or whatever, while the other one goes to visit the neighbour, or heck, goes to visit someone at the other side of town, and you can switch between looking at and controlling each one seamlessly.

But in the end you feel kind of bored with the game after like two days, and so it's not really worth money, per se. If I had bought it, I would probably feel like I'd wasted those money. Fortunately I didn't and I probably won't, either. [/textwall]

TL;DR version: Sims 3 is fun for two days and then it's not fun anymore.

[Puruun]

That's true. Did you play the PS2 version, by the way? That one has credits, and the song that plays while the credits are rolling is awesome. You should watch the credits on Youtube.

I've heard Reset already. I quite like it, but I don't think it fits the game. I downloaded the whole Okami soundtrack before I got the game. (Except Oni Island, that song gave me a nightmare when I fell asleep with my iPod still powered on )

I thought so too, compared to the rest of the music.

I unlocked the Altair costume in MGS4.
