Okay, so I'm pretty excited.  And I should be, because this is like the best game ever!

I never did get The Sims 2 (though I did play at someone else's house) so maybe I'll just skip straight through to 3!  The screenshots and all that look great.

I just don't see the purpose of these games...the games just bore me.
"I believe every single person is extraordinary. The tragedy is that we
have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

I just wish they'd make Makin' Magic for the newer versions!  But it will be so awesome to send the sims wandering around outside!

Yeah, Makin' Magic was my favorite expansion!  I loved it sooo much!  That would be a perfect addition.

I do think the seamless neighborhood is going to be the best change to this version of the game.  I always hated having to go through all the trouble of loading the different areas.

I played the original game a little when it was released.  There's just something about continuously telling a virtual man to go to the bathroom while he stands in the middle of the living room panicking and wetting his pants.  I didn't like it much.

it was a complex tamagochi, I played one of the 1st, the social security took my baby away...I haven't been really interested in The Sims, Spore replaces my curiosity for it.

In that case, I don't suggest having children.  :P

Heh.  My grandmother predicts I'll have five children (!) and she's rarely wrong about things like this.  Maybe I should get Sims 3 for practice.

All Maxis had to do was wait for DirectX 10 to come out... I'm guessing now that DirectX 10 is popular they should make a sequel suited for the newest generation of Graphics. Then they add in features that they would have originally put in but why would they do that to waste originality points?

All I know is Maxis abuses the gamer with all these expansion pacts, I only bought the first Sims 2. I had already wasted all my money on the first series I wasn't going to waste anymore on the second, buying the first second was buying them all in my eyes. Anyway... I hope you all have directx 10 cards and computers that can handle this game, it's going to work your computer like a Russian Peasant.

Heh-heh, I just got all the expansion packs (and the original game, come to think of it) from my mom.  She was addicted to buying them as soon as they came out and it always runs the game on the most recent disc, so I just had up to the second-to-most-recent expansion on my PC.

I went to the official launch here in Australia (12 hours before the US launch :D)
This pretty much sums up my feelings of the game, series and genre:

Man, this game is as addicting as heroin.

I have wasted many, many, many hours before work playing this game. >_<.

But, still fun. I'm going to buy the Ambitions back soon though. That looks cooler (IMO) then World Adventures.
