Are you still playing the Sims 3?

To be totally honest with you, yes I'm still playing the Sims 3! Why? Because I have all the expansion packs for the Sims 3 and I really like playing that game every now and then. In the Sims 4 I would have to start again with hardly anything of what I have now. So that means no supernatural, no pets, no university and no seasons. These are things I like in the Sims 3 and as long as these aren't in the Sims 4 I don't see any reason to dive into that game!


The Sims 3 is better than the Sims 4?


When it comes to the expansion packs then yes I think the Sims 3 is better, mostly because it offers a lot of diversity and allows you to do some crazy and silly things. For example marry an alien, turn everyone into zombies or summon a meteor to crush a house! These are amazing things I love in the Sims 3 and I doubt I can do that in the Sims 4, well not yet anyway. This is the main problem with every new Sims game, you either stick with the old one until you're comfortable enough to switch to the new game or you jump straight into the new Sims game and start with hardly anything. Oh sure you can make sims and do some silly things but it really feels like you lost most of the game if you compare it to the previous Sims game. I felt this way about the Sims 3 at first as well, because I had all the expansions packs with the Sims 2 so I didn't feel the need to buy the Sims 3 right away but with more interesting expansion packs coming out the urge to buy the Sims 3 became much bigger. Now I'm very happy with the Sims 3 but I still keep a close eye on the Sims 4, maybe one day it will be fun to buy it but not right now!


What makes the Sims 3 so much fun to play?


Well I already gave you several examples but it really comes down to the diversity. There are so many things you can do in the Sims 3, already when you create a sim. You can be a vampire, witch, genie, werewolf or even a ghost from the start and that saves you a lot of work turning sims into these supernatural beings. I've made so many families and some are even weirder than others, for example with one family I married my sim to an alien and have a kid with that alien, then there is a family where I made an evil sorcerer that turns all the sims into zombies and he's also the ruler of evil (it's his day job), then there's the immortal sim that never ages and has already had like fifty wives at this point and let's not forget about my tech sim that builds robots and travels to the future to hang around with his descendants. These are some of the crazy things I can do in the Sims 3, I love it and I don't see myself stopping any time soon! This is one of the things that I love about the Sims games, the possibilities and the unexpected silly things that can happen. That makes playing a game not just fun but also makes you curious for what else can happen.

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
