UK residents, a new website popped up for a Sims 3 competition where you can win the chance to see Derren Brown ‘s Enigma Tour 2010 or win gig tickets of your choice for a whole year! It’s very easy to enter – all you need to do is watch 2 videos and answer the questions found on the competition page.
Good luck and enter soon – contest ends on 1/25/10!
I wish they’d stop messing about with things like this and just concentrate on gettinf the game working! Where is the patched patch!
I posted this over at the Official Forum, it’s all true and hard hitting so lets see if EA reply:
Do you care?
The least you could do is keep your customers appraised of the situation.
We have spent a lot of money on your games over the years and this is how you treat us. This is the second patch that has needed a patch to fix it.
There is no excuse.
Especially when you look at how quick the modders are at fixing all the bugs that they can do without modifying core files, like the main exe.
It makes it look a lot like you are either incompetent programmers, or just plain lazy.
It doesn’t help when we are sitting here waiting for the patch or even just news on how it is progressing and yet you bring out new store items, advertise new Stuff Packs and launch competitions.
Pull your socks up and get with it before you lose your loyal customer base and drive another great game into the gutter.
Oh and if this post just gets deleted instead of one of you taking the time to reply, we will now that the answer is that you really don’t care…
It’s true, but the sad thing is there are people out there who’ll defend EA with the ‘Well my game works fine for me, so it must be you” attitude. Well folks, as far as I am aware my game works fine…But you are living in self denial if you are that far up EA’s butt that you can’t see the many problems and issues this game has had. Without a doubt this game is buggy as hell. EA’s attitude with ignoring the customers doesn’t help either.
I agree, the sims 3 is like Vista on Weed! Today I decided to install all of the patches for TS3 and World Adventures because when I ran the game launcher i got a little window up. So, after I had updated everything, I had a look around the sims store because I still had 2,000 simpoints that I never used when I bought TS3 and World Adventures. I bought a new hairstyle but for some reason it wouldn’t show up on the game launcher. So I uninstalled the games, then reinstalled them both and tried again without updating and its working fine. So I think im gonna just NOT download patched from now on because they used to just cause me grief with the sims 2 too.
EA need to get it sorted, although even if they don’t, I can’t say they’ll lose me as a customer because even with its current buggy status, I still enjoy the game.
