    Ah but I have stated why I think the games we are discussing should be classed as very similar in gameplay style. Your argument is mere unsubstantiated sophistry.




    The Sims and SimCity are AS similar in gameplay as Starcraft and Civ2. The only thing they have in common is openendedness.
    “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
    - John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

      I could not disagree more. Perhaps others will post their opinions.

              The Sims online is surprisingly good...

              I got it to see how bad it was but it's pretty addictive.

              I'm essentially a venture capitalist in the game now. I've got tons of money so I loan other people money to go start up businesses.

                  I love openended games- Morrowind, Grand Theft Auto 3, Simcity, etc. Heck, I guess fundamently CIV is openended in the sense that you simply need to survive as an empire, and where the ends justify the means.

                      Okay, the difference is The Sims is life, or what passes for life in the game. SimCity is larger than life.

                      You do what the Sims do in The Sims everyday, except faster, more efficient, more detailed, and in more sophisticated ways. I mean, I don't take five minutes to pee.

                        I might have used the wrong word, I always forgets which one is which (of proberbly and properly, and if there exists more words, that I have forgotten, that looks like...)

                                And there's an 'i' in alumin*i*um!

                                Back on topic before this degrades further:

                                So, we're all agreed that Sim games are generally (though not always) for non-serious gamers right? The sort of game your parents (who have just dragged themselves into the computer age) play is The Sims.
