  1. What about improving the "simulation" aspect? by gpinzone · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I can't read the article because it's slashdotted. So can someone let me know if either of them explain why "The Sims" sold more copies than either of their games? Maybe they should include everyday aspects of life to bring more realism into the game. Think about it. When was the last time you had to play an FPS where after you came home from a day of fragging, you had to clean your virtual house and make virtual dinner? Or what about the characters falling in love? Wouldn't THAT be an interesting online player experience! Instead they concentrate on nightmareish atmosphere. How unoriginal! If they would just "pussify" their FPS games a little, more women would be playing.
