The Sims 2 sells 1 million copies sold in 10 days
 

All I can say is... woah !


Offical Gamespot post

I second that woah, but I really don't think we should be surprised.

Yep, I expected it also, seeing as I got it within the first three days.

i just bought it today, and i cant stop playing it.. wtf

It's like crack but it's going aside for Rome: TW. For now. Most of the time. Really. No, really.

It IS like crack... sweet sweet delicious crack cocaine

ya know, i don't see how people can actually "play" this game..... Me, yeah, i downloaded it.... I like to cheat and build big ass houses, but actually playing the game? what is the appeal?

It's hard to say. I would probably just stick with the "you're either gonna love it or hate it" crowd on the gameplay.

I constantly tell people it is a little creepy.
:hmm:

to get WOOHOO! haha

Just like Sims 1 after a few hours.....it gets really boring. Doing the same thing over and over again isnt fun.

I didnt say I liked the game, I was just impressed at the amount of units sold.

I too find it boring.

I played a friend's copy and spent more time designing and decorating the house than actually playing. Creating a sim is fun, but I after the first week or so (game time, not actual time) I get bored a start building another house.

I'd love to hear from those who actually play the game and the reasons why.

well lately I've just been trapping people in my house, or making them go insane then turning them loose in the neighbourhood... its good for a few laughs when you invite someone over and they start dancing around with a mop.

I play it to waste time. I need to jump from 2:00 to 5:00? Fire up the Sims. Although correctly calculating the time is hard and I sometimes overshoot the time I spend playing it.

I need to pick this game up, but sadly right now I'm poor. So it's gonna have to wait a week or two.

the original Sims was like crack...until you got sick of it after a week.

Is Sims 2 any better? just wonderin'

I installed, and played Sims 2 for about eight hours straight without blinking. I havn't played it since then, there isn't enough difference from the first game here to make me want to play it again.

And you can tell that there will be many expansions, since it seems to be lacking in the number and variety of items.

The thing about Sims 2, is you don't HAVE to do the same thing over and over. You can force your sims into wacky situations and get a lot of good laughs out of it.

damn kodega i shouldve posted this earlier. http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_g...rch=sims%25202
to bad its expired. sims 2 for $22 w/ free ship.

I got bored with the Sims. After a few hours, it just got boring. That and I couldn't stand the fact that time moves in such a fucked up way. One second of real time = one minute in the game. Yet, you're still performing normal functions and routines at a real time pace. I never had time to do anything. It always took two hours to take a piss! I got frustrated with it.

1 million in 10 days... that just boggles the mind. Simply incredible. I'm probably going to have to get my sister to lend me her version if this one is as good as what everyone says.

i maxed out my stats so now i am just messing around. i built rooms in the basement with everything a person needs to survive. i invited four lovers to move in and i locked them all in the basement with the men only door. i can go in and out but they cant. pretty damn funny. my man had a night of woo-hoo-ing. if i was a romance sim this would be a dream but since i am a knowledge sim im thinking of letting them go. because for some reason, even though they were in separate rooms they still found out about each other.

I will have to try the locking in thing, any good site recommendations for item add ons?

Thats nowhere near the Doom 3 or Diablo 2 sales figures.

Really? How much did those sell in 10 days?
