@stocksyp I would, but talking to a fanboy about another system is like trying to convince a grave digger that death is not real.

@thegraver It's part of the marketing itselfs (that is my theory)

@CrimsonCorp When it comes to OS its looking pretty neat indeed.

They have faith on it. The original fans don't. There is where the problem is.

I'm amazed how lately everyone questions every single review in Gamespot and, all of a sudden, this one is taken as the ultimate truth.

Like every GS review, this one is a persona opinion. You liked previous Suda51 games? you will like this one. As simple as that :)

Fully disagree with the reviewer. This game remains in the same level as previous Suda51 games like No More Heroes, both control, aesthetics and spirit.

@Joutja And little complaint about how a weapons was accessible to him. Or at least not enough...

@Oofoor I got that, but although they offer a online functionality to focus into social connectivity, the core of the game is still played offline.
Like Mass Effect 3 for example; you may have online mode but the focus of it is the offline story.

@Nightdragonist @Warlord_Irochi Don't think so; you can sell again all the expansions from Sims 3 that will not be included in the vanilla version of 4... then do the same with 5.

(they will still manage to loose 300-400 millions per year, though)

"We don't ship a game at EA that is offline; just doesn't happen"

And that, kids, is why The Sims 4 is fully offline (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-08-21-the-sims-4-will-be-an-offline-game)

Really, Mr. Moore, really...
