[subterraa]

steam !!!!!

[chase362]

steam sale...yes

[metzgermeisterfuchs]

dude doing the review totally lost me when he started having a seizure and speaking jibberish....

[xXArronaXx]

I love this game, I absolutely love it! I can play it for hours, and I really love it! :)

[SmileyLizzie04]

I just got it today and its taking so long to install. I wanna play already!

[CrownedGD]

@SmileyLizzie04 Im getting it next week when I get mai 27 inch iMac :)

[lilypp11]

A lot of elders working out at 6:53

[MegaCrazyLaughs]

awkward moment when top comments are exactly not the same when a top comment says that.

[WorgenAlcorn]

Damn. Hes sim looks like him ! :D

[goodrita]

I just got the Sims 3 on console and it sucks, 1 map, long loading screens, and the map is split into sections so when your sim goes to work it takes 2 minutes to change sections of the map. Get it on pc!!

[MegaCrazyLaughs]

@goodrita Well my friend has no problem with it on her ps3 but I guess that is because she has no way to be on a pc right now.

[kuhkeezy]

Justin Timberlake at 3:48!

[xxbrefo]

woah this guy has looost weight. Good on ya!

[5zaide]

awkward moment when the top comments are exactly the same

[themike2048]

@sole0soleo sims 2 for ps2 is great! It's a lot like sims 3 for pc except for direct control baby's and more than one floor oh and you can walk around the city unlike ps2.

[roger62383]

The Sims is ALWAYS BETTER on PC because it was originally made for PC. This is an easy top 10 greatest games of all time for me.

[TheRozza333]

i used to be able to write top comments... but then i took an arrow to the knee

[Lipszy]

is this the same for the sims 3 on xbox 360?

[AutumnAweBear]

so can you play as the small children?

[chinnchillalover]

all i really want to know (and i am new to the sims. i just have the one sims life stories game) do you have to have the expansions? and how many people can go into one household in THIS game without expansions? if anyone cn answer this right away i would be so happy. trying to get from my mom for cyber monday

[CHRISSIDAYYUM]

[caitlyndakota]

WHAT computer u need for this

[Dianarocks333]

@caitlyndakota i think any kind just as long is like from 2004 from todays computers... well for me, i play the sims 2 on my computer that is a 2007 one... so yeah

[caitlyndakota]

hey dude i cant find a computer with the support for sims 3 HELP ME

[ricardohernandezosun]

@caitlyndakota wtf do you want him to do? to buy you a new one?

[caitlyndakota]

@ricardohernandezosun hey i was just telling him jackass

[Dianarocks333]

@caitlyndakota what type of computer do you have?

[xMitch360]

Is this good in ps3?

[3628800258]

@xMitch360 sims 2 on ps2 is better because you cant be the player itself, you just see it in "god" view

which i think is a bit boring on ps3

[alazaye23]

@xMitch360 Sims 3 for PS3 isn't all that bad to be honest. But as always you can do way more stuff for Sims 3 for PC. That's just how it always been. I bought Sims 3 for PS3 a few months ago and the details for it are awesome. :) And it's still fun!

[stickdude509]

Dear Kevin Van Ord,

You are a very wise and smart man

Sincerly, those of us who like to speak simmish after playing these games :)

[JaxPickle]

one of the 'wholes' representing the expansion packs have already been filled... THE SIMS 3 PETS !! :D:D i got it the day it came out haha

[panic255]

@JaxPickle Holes.* "The game is missing elements and has holes." "The game as a whole, its entirety, is good."

[nintylite]

super awesome game! cannot wait to play more when I get it on my birthday

[qrabra]

Now this is a good review.

[SugargliderIover]

"throwing a b-day party for your toddler right before she magicly turns into a child" XDDD lo-freaking-l

[culokristof]

Who's the reviewer? He's hot. haha

[robotfreshpies]

Sims 2 > Sims 3

[julialahmanncovers]

this is amazing the way the sims 2 has changed into something so cool! also does anyone know some custom content sites other than mod the sims and the sims recourse

[piadalton]

i have nearly all the sims 2 games and i dont know if i should get the sims 3 and if i do will i ever play the sims 2 again????

[beybladefan1111]

It's awesome

[SenhoraMaaafalda]

[MandiMal00]

I keep hearing bad things about this game, that people hate it, but I don't see how. It looks great!

[XfridgeYyeahZ]

Just ordered this game, can't wait to play it!!

[AFabulousKilljoy1996]

Lost many hours of my life to this franchise. xD

[sol200997]

1) no 2) you cant kill other sims but you can kill your own sims. There are traits like 'evil' and such............

[123Beefitup]

Sims 3 master eye coming out today! stay tuned! look at some of my videos plz.

[Bellatrix1Lestrange1]

"you make virtual creatures called sims" idk the game name THE SIMS dusent say that... i think the reason they have a dif language is cause its annoyin when its like I NEED THE LOO and havin the speech bubble

[s1221rwal]

[GMustamu]

[braceletfanatic]

Which one should I get for my birthday, sims two or three?

[FreeNomzPl0x]

@braceletfanatic sims 3

[Sombooodeh]

@braceletfanatic sims 3, if you wanna have good graphic, some great music and make own custom colours on you clothes etc. and walls etc.

sims 2 if you like ultra modern stuff (all packs) and a bit bad quality, and VERY good songs :)

[123containerable]

@braceletfanatic The Sims 3

[dajanadajana1]

why on xbox 360 not the everything same liek on pc?

[MissLakey10]

@dajanadajana1 cause on xbox the controls are differnet. get it on mac its better- when i had it on xbox it was really weird

[dajanadajana1]

@MissLakey10 oh thanks!!! :D

[kane3865]

I remember playing sims when i was young on ps2, then got it for pc, then got sims bustin out, then sims 2 and now sims 3, i could go on because thats how much I love playing sims!

[thesman32]

the sims are so monotonous just like theme park yaawwn.

[MethshockFilms]

I loved the Sims 1 when i was a kid, me and my friend promised eachother that we would play it for 10 mins, and then go outside, but because the game was so fun, and so hilarious to play, we kept playing all freaking day long. I love the Sims saga, i pretty much grew up with it. Thanks GameSpot for another vid ;)

[AFreakingDumbaccount]

The one thing i hate about the Sims series.

HAVING TO BUY THE SAME DAMN EXPANSION PACKS EVERYTIME

I dont see why they have to cut content like that.

[EkaterinaMiranda99]

Would you like to get it for free? :) Here you are:

downloadblinks . c__o__m



[1chasegamer]

@Breana30736 STFU spammer



[Deadganon]

@KameLuvsYah If u liked the sims 1 and 2 then u will LOVE the sims 3, if u hated the sims 1 and 2 then u most likely hate the sims 3. The sims 3 improved everything so much more then the sims 2 when it came out, since the sims 2 mostly only improved the graphics. If u love playing the sims games then the sims 3 is a MUST HAVE!!!!!

[Patadude100]

How... He made his sim look EXACTLY like him...

[noahfoxx]

1:50 Need to have jobs and make money *shows guy sitting at computer*

[TheCdeboy]

You can't go wrong with this game! at all!

[ShadowXSky]

8:02 Did she just say.. Labia?

[goingtohell5]

@bubblegumgurl44 lmao same when i was new to the game. it caught on fire 4 times in a row xD my sim caught on fire twice too

[CU2UK]

I miss the ability to make your own stores and resturangs. :/ I really hope they make that available in the future.

[alambido]

Wanna be rich Just click

ctr+shift+c and put this word motherlode

[TheRoy123123]

[ZombieGamer009]

[pikachu10009]

[jeffsandychelsea]

[churchofShelbo]

[megasharkman12]

[aatuhopea]

@bakingdeath 0 bucks on piratebay today, looks like i'll pick it up..

[adamrocks2006]

@aatuhopea your comment will do either of the 2 thing. Get pb Closed down or bankrupt Sims 3 company!

better of buying it!

[MsGoldful]

The game is fun, you just have to make use of all the opportunities given to you. And if you ever get bored, you can just start over with a new household. There's so many different paths to take that this game can be tailored to any individual.

[GABDILIVE]

@MsGoldful I want to rent the game, but I'm not sure if I should! Do you start the game has a kid, is it hard to understand the games and is it getting boring some times?? thanks

[MsGoldful]

@GABDILIVE I have Sims 3 for PC, not wii, but it should be similar. You can create an entire family to play, or a single adult, and you can play many people at once. If you get bored, you can just start a new family to play. The game is fairly easy, there's just many options you can choose from in terms of interaction and customisation. It's pretty much an endless game. There's not much to do sometimes if you just sit in the house all day, but it's still fun overall.

[jamjaws1000]

Thumbs up if you think the guys character looked like him. And thumbs up if you thought he was a Sims character in the beginning. LOL

[TheFreak1245]

please reply ASAP i wanted to get this game for wii. :3 but i wanted to know if its worth buying? Please Reply And Thanks :D

[HFLEventsProductions]

This youtuber is a lier! Its gamestop not gamespot!

[saintsrow001]

no its gamespot 

[TheDarkrai2001]

@HFLEventsProductions gamestop is a store and gamespot is a web talking about games.

[fa9ooll]

@HFLEventsProductions its gamespot moron

[ChemicalCorpse1]

@HFLEventsProductions *facepalm*

[robloxman1011]

Could somebody reply? : Is this game worth buying. Does it get boring after a while? Cause Im pretty intrested in this game.

[XxXsabrina411XxX]

@robloxman1011 IT can get boring after awhile but it depends what kind of a mood you are in. I enjoy it and rarely get bored with it :)

[helmi191]

@robloxman1011 for me personally this is not the kind of game that I played for hours marathon and then get bored, but the game that I play WHEN I GET BORED (of real life). The Sims 3 FTW!

[jaelbreton16]

@robloxman1011 It's only as fun as you want it to be. you can spend the whole day playing and not get bored, literally. you can do almost whatever you want and the expansion packs add more to the game to make it even more fun. it's like never ending fun

[acrock21]

@meganashleylynne oh thats awesome thank you =)

[andybruv]

7:04 lol at the guy in the chair smiling and watching them argue

[CheerPeace18881]

On my sims game I can't see out of my mirror :P

[iBlackStar15]

The only way this game could be boring is if someone makes it boring... This game is awesome and FUN!! And thats because I know how to make it fun.

[Zombiewaster215]

this only shows that gamespot does more fair reviews than ign

[RemoteMemory]

I have enjoyed the sims and the sims 2, so I bought the sims 3.

It was a big dissapointment. I do not have the complaints of others about it being slow. I am on a 6 year old computer (which I put together to be able to handle future games) and it works fine.

The problem is the game is so boring. I spent my time making a perfect garden and stocking my backyard pond with all possible fish. Had a kid etc.

It is very very boring.

A few steps forward, and 10 steps back.

I won't buy sims again.

[BillionairHobo]

68 people don't like the sims 3!!! *GASP*

[hstone39]

The new world order does this stuff for real and a lot of people are still living in the 80s and don't know how advance technology really is. They have your brain wirelessly connected to their super computers so they can better control you.

[BrandyNicoleConners]

I wanted this game soooo bad, and i had it with my old computer, but went slow as fuck. But now, i got a new computer & now i can play. ;D Im so happy now. I've been waiting to play it for a long time.

[shamrocknewt246]

Not only are these much longer,but they're a lot more better and non-biased then IGN!,Thank you Gamespot :D

[TheExileGear]

Is. 360 ver. Just as good.

[megsmegs28]

I cant see inside the gym. Is that normal? :(

[TheColynSlayer]

@megsmegs28 no,it isn't normal,you should see them.

[tweetysweety1996]

@megsmegs28 try taking the walls down with pgdn( page down)

[acrock21]

well is there still the problem where i only have a 1 month life and by the time i get married my wife is young enough to be my daughter and im about 5 days from death ? or if i get bored can i still invite someone over and kill them by putting a rocket in the room with them and then deleting the door ( even thought that involves cheats still fun )

[Devikvampire]

2:35 Park?! Cemetery!

[J3rseysfinest1]

SOmeone enlighten me is this worth buying or not i hear different stuff from everyone some say it sucks others say it rocks i hurd the kids alll loook the same and i hurd the sims all look fat and that the music coming out of the stereos is way too realistic comparing to the sims 2 alot of people are tellin me to stick to the sims 2 some1 let me know if i shud spend my hard earned money on this game or should i just stick to my sims 2?

[starlight429]

anyone know where the town map is on the sims 2?

[coconut1811]

that is a really messed up house... XD

[DiamondTeardrop6]

I want thissss. But my processor is a AMD Athlon 64 TF-20 (1.6GHz). Will that run the game????

[SnowBoardin360]

@DiamondTeardrop6

No.. sorry. Atleast not without major lag. I had a 2.5GHZ 3-core and it was mid-lag. Good thing I got my new 4-core 4GHZ :D

[DiamondTeardrop6]

@SnowBoardin360 Awwww D': I hate my laptop.

Good to hear your games running good tho :)

[SnowBoardin360]

@DiamondTeardrop6

Never games + under $1000 laptop = BAD Fps.. Get a desktop? :P

[DiamondTeardrop6]

@SnowBoardin360 I wish I could :P We travel too much to lug a desktop around. And I'm poor.

Guess I'll have to stick with the Sims 2 :\ Thanks tho.

[SnowBoardin360]

@DiamondTeardrop6

Well, how well does the sims 2 run?

[DiamondTeardrop6]

@SnowBoardin360 Perfectly. And I have all the EP's too. No lag or anything.

[SnowBoardin360]

@DiamondTeardrop6

Well you shoulda started with that :P I don't know how, but if the sims 2 runs perfectly, the sims 3 will run playable atleast. I have no idea how with that CPU but it will :P

[DiamondTeardrop6]

@SnowBoardin360 O.O Omg. That's awesome. XD Thanks!

[SnowBoardin360]

@DiamondTeardrop6

Haha no problem, we completely raped the top of the sims 3 vid xD

[DiamondTeardrop6]

@SnowBoardin360 XD Whoops.

[SnowBoardin360]

@DiamondTeardrop6

Haha, theres 0-1 comments besides the top comments on the first page xD

[DiamondTeardrop6]

@SnowBoardin360 XD

[DiamondTeardrop6]

@SnowBoardin360 Hey! Good news. I bought the game and it works fine :D YAY!

Thanks again for all your help!!

[SnowBoardin360]

@DiamondTeardrop6

Haha no problem!

[loverofsquirrels]

hours at a time? xD I once played all day... yup 6 hours!

[JulioVA2398]

IM GOING TO GET SIMS 3 TOMOROW!! its a bit to late for getting one by now ppl must been having lots of fun as I type this comment

[hstone39]

You better beleive that the new world order has you wired to their system or better yet wireless connected to their system of control. They don't just have your name and other information where they can type it into a computer a pull up how much money you have in different banks accounts, what property you own, what taxes you owe, if you have skeletons in your closet, what you do for a hobby and etc. They have you pychologically connected to their system where it's easy to press your buttons.

[hstone39]

@hstone39

Some of you may laugh at what I'm saying but it's true and you should take what I'm saying to you more seriously. The new world order didn't build up there system of control over night. It took them centuries for them to get to this point. You have to look at this situation and all the pychological traps the new world order is giving to you as mind bending strategies they are doing. Just think about, while everyone is arguing the nwo will never let me get in on the conversation.

[hstone39]

@hstone39

The nwo don't want you to talk to me, seeing me, helping me, or agreeing with me. It isn't fair to me to not be in the same conversation that everyone else has when it is all about me. You have to break your conditioning because your wirelessly connected to a system of control that is a simulation operation. This is why I tell you to retake some algebra math courses because it helps you to be a better problem solver.

[LoZandCoDfan]

Lol, I love how there's a loading circle on the "Sims 3" picture in the background.

[FakePlasticShrimp]

this looks cool but idk if i should buy it 2nd hand 4xbox 360, what do you get when you reigster it with EA?

[hstone39]

This is how the new world order spies on everyone while they have your brain connected wireless to a super computer. The super computer then calculates percentages on which route to go to manipulate everyone. So all of the arguements and debating ya'll been having is just a simulation by the new world order. Once you understand their game you won't waste anymore time and unite because you realize that they control you pychologically. Wake up.

[LoZandCoDfan]

@hstone39 You just made my day! lol

[addidaswilson]

OMG, ur sim looks just like you.... wow

[josh604gt]

Im watching this as I download The Sims 3
