Sims 2 Goes Gold

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the begin-your-lust dept.

Dan Farina writes "The long awaited 'The Sims 2' has gone Gold, as seen on the latest posting on Maxis' The Sims 2 updates page. It appears that it will be on time after all, an unusual occurrence in this industry." I'm already having a strange obsessive twitching in my left leg. I think I might need to use up some vacation time in September.

    Pffft. Pathetic ripoff of still shining Little Computer People.

    Why do people keep saying that The Sims 2 is being released on time? It was delayed AT LEAST once from its scheduled March release, and I think possibly once before then.

    I finally thought I should get around to trying The Sims, since it seems half the world's played it and loved it.

    I found it utterly tedious and a complete waste of my time. Watch them sleep! Watch them eat! Watch them... walk around! I'm just glad I got it second-hand, as I would have been very pissed off if I'd paid full price for it. I gave it a fair shot to see if it got any better as it went on. It didn't so I haven't touched it since.

    I just can't see the appeal. Then again, I can't see the appeal of shows like Big Brother either

    It was originally due out in the beginning of the year, then was delayed by several months.

  5. And here's a little geek perk by GMFTatsujin · · Score: 3, Informative

    DEVO front man Mark Mothersbaugh is signed to do the in-game music.

    If nothing else, perhaps the game will move away from the Leave It To Beaver sitcom earmunge. Duty now for the future!
