I think EA took a disappointing and different approach with The Sims 4. With The Sims 3, they had an accessible game that was much like the first two and they sold a ton of copies from the start, but only the most hardcore of fans purchased the expansions. With the Sims 4, they only focused in on the hardcore fans and stripped the game down knowing that those people would still buy the base game and would also buy the expansions. The lack of content, even with expansions, is still mesmerizing. Considering it's EA, I probably shouldn't be surprised.
If this really is Craig's last Bond movie (which I hope he's got just 1 more in him), then I'd like to see them take a break for a few year. I think Craig has been so good in the role, no matter who they in there will be judged more side-by-side and I think the expectations will potentially be too high for it to succeed. I think if you wait at least 5 years or so then people will be more of the mindset of "I'd really like to see a new Bond movie." I think you've got to make the audience miss it to an extent, and also for enough time to pass where there won't be unfair comparisons.
@lionink: First, the game tries to be a lot like Super Mario Galaxy with the level designs, which is fine but they also try to keep the game "fast" since it's a Sonic game. This caused some issues with camera angles and running into enemies or falling to my death a lot because I simply couldn't react fast enough or just couldn't see what was coming. There were also several levels and boss fights that I had to play 10+ times to get through, and as someone who has been playing Sonic games since the very first one, I have never really had that kind of problem before in any of the previous titles.
As a long-time Sonic fan, I was hugely disappointed by this game. The level designs were really poor. I actually felt the difficulty was a little too high for a Sonic game, as well.
Sonic Generations was such a good game that my expectations were pretty high going into Lost World. I thought Sega would go back to making high quality Sonic games again, but this was just garbage in my opinion.
@Chunkman: That's so funny because it's so true. The one guy that I knew who had it in college was that guy, and we all mooched. Owning Rock Band was literally the definition of buying friendship/popularity.
