    Looks like there'll be no The Sims 4 reviews until after it's out. EA tells me no one's getting access ahead of release. I'm nervous.

        @DanStapleton @koobismo Doesn't that usually signal that it's garbage? Like Watch_Dogs?

        @kristindexter @koobismo I played Watch Dogs for review ahead of release.

        @DanStapleton @koobismo 😭Why didn't you warn us about the protagonist having the personality of a wet paper towel?!

          @kristindexter @koobismo 2nd paragraph: "Our hero, Aiden Pearce, is an empty trenchcoat as far as personality goes."http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/05/27/watch-dogs-review …

        @DanStapleton Tons of reviews on YouTube from full release versions. Why does corporate press seem to miss that? Oh yeah free stuff.

        @Dizzyl3mon Ha. I don't care about free stuff. Even if we buy a copy for review, it doesn't come out of my pocket.

        @Dizzyl3mon And also: those aren't full release copies. They're preview builds, and we've played with those too. EA says they're not ready.

        @DanStapleton Might also just be realizing that the Sims audience and the core-gaming audience just aren't really the same. Maybe.

        @EvolveTom Not sure why that would cause someone to hold back review copies.

        @DanStapleton Did SimCity also try something out of the norm? Did they hold "review events" instead of sending out actual copies?

        0 retweets 0 likes
      5. Dan Stapleton ‏@DanStapleton 18 Aug 2014

        @Capitalistpig21 They had an event and then gave copies for the weekend before launch. Almost everybody waited another week+ to review.

        @DanStapleton Some Sims community members have had a lot of access&been in a position to write previews Maybe theyre just sticking with that

        @beyondsims Preview access has been fine. Review is an entirely different thing.

        @DanStapleton Whatever EA's reasons are, the gaming press will have to wait with Sims fans for the release day.

        @DanStapleton EA are very community-focused with Sims, so that could be a reason. Fans were told about the game before the press last year.

        @beyondsims @DanStapleton Every time the press reviews a Sims game, it turns into a mockery. About time EA caters to the community instead.

        @DerMonarch @beyondsims The Sims 3 reviewed very well just about everywhere. I loved it, myself (92% at PCG). Or did you not like it?
