Absolutely failed!

With "The Sims 4" makes a huge step backwards EA. How much I was looking forward ... and how much I was disappointed!

The only positive: The Sims 4 runs smoother than all previous parts (apart from part 1 maybe). And this is due to the underground bad graphics. I am truly no Grafikfetischist ... But here you go one step back significantly. Comic look back or not, but not even anti-aliasing is sufficiently available.

The gameplay is apart from Sims-typical, intuitive menu totally boring and immature at all corners. Everything smells of other add-ons - Yes, there are nice new tools. But the list of the "89 missing features" (and there are in fact only half) makes absolutely noticeable. The make after my first impression also not "new emotions" betting.

Would I consider "The Sims 4" as a stand-alone game, I would give 2.5 stars. Compared to "The Sims 3" I will give a maximum of one - as here avarice is felt driven to the top, makes me even more angry.

I hope for a similar flop like SimCity ... And that is heard on the predominantly negative echo.
