Watch the EA press conference (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiGJTsO_XXE) on the Sims4, as well as the stories gameplay (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xZn8XUUat8). A release date was also announced: September 2nd!
What do you guys think?
Aside from finding out you can die from laughing too much, I feel like we didn't see anything we didn't already know. Disappointing, to say the least. But, I guess maybe we'll see more from demos throughout the week.
-
When is game con this year or did it pass?
-
Game Com says August 8th and 9th.
E3 is June 16-18th. I thought I remembered it being on the weekend before but I guess not.
-
Wonders what they will release......
-
I'd like to see a lot more about the new Uncharted.
-
I have no clue about that game. Is is console or PC?
-
Playstation exclusive. Huge franchise and I love it so much <3
-
I have heard of Uncharted but I have no details about about. My bf purchased a new game at the beginning of the month for PS4, he's not a hoarder like me so once he finishes a game in like three days he buys/trades for another one I tend to try and keep the games forever and he doesn't keep them. We are like the "Odd Couple" he's a neat freak and I am not. Not as bad as Felix but I am a hoarder. I am working on it though.
I found this: https://www.youtube.com/e3?feature=int-yo-e3 Nothing about the sims but it might have something you like.
-
Definitely looking forward to it! :)
Lol, I hoard mine too. Unless I absolutely can't play the game (it gives me headache or feel ill) I will keep it. Hell, I still have my original Super Nintendo, Playstation, PS2, PS3 and 4. I think my husband said there's a regular Nintendo in the garage and I know he's got one of those handheld Segas around here somewhere.
Do you know what the new game was? My copy of Elder Scrolls Online Tamriel edition came in this week but I haven't gotten a chance to play it yet.
-
He got Far Cry 4, whatever that is lol. I am wondering why E3 is during the week and not on the weekend. I don't know if I would take off to go to that, although I am about having fun versus working.
-
Ohh, I have that game. I haven't played it a lot yet but it seems pretty good so far.
They should have it on a weekend, and it's weird because I'm sure the first one I kept track of was. Unless maybe I just remember watching the press conference videos on my PS3 on the weekend *thinks*
-
I think I am going to make it my duty to attend a "con" within the next couple of year. Hopefully.
-
Sweet! That should be fun :)
-
Man there's a lot of great games popping up at E3! Couple hours until Sony does their press conference. *crosses fingers for Red Dead Redemption 2 announcement*
-
I sure hope you get what you want. I guess I only look for easy games. I do love to watch game play.
-
They're so expensive though so it'll be a while before I get most of them. Hopefully the exchange rate will get better and it'll be cheaper to order from the US again, cause Quebec tax is nuts.
-
I hate hearing that the taxes are so high. You could get a po box in the states that's close to the border. I guess. So what games are you wanted to get? My bf said that farcry 4 isn't that great. He's so fickle. The bad thing is ps4 only have about 50 games, too bad it's not converted for the older systems.
-
We have one and we do ship a lot of stuff there (our house is literally a 3 minute drive from the VT border), but it depends on how much less the item is to start with; we're usually $10-15ish more here before tax. In the case of games, especially at full price, we have to pay whatever the US place charges, the exchange rate which is pretty awful at the moment, plus the duty at the border. They charge for anything over $50, which almost all new games are. For a game it's not that much, but it still adds up. In the end we end up paying more that way than buying local with Quebec's 15% tax. If it's cheap like a book or something on sale it's not a big deal. In our area it's very difficult to find english books because our mall closed the last english bookstore 5+ years ago. Even when it was open Amazon was still cheaper. So unless there's something I really want, I wait for prices to come down.
Lol, oh god, the games I want? That's a long list xD The biggest are Batman Arkham Knight (comes out Tuesday but I'm waiting), Witcher 3, Uncharted 4, Kingdom Hearts 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Until Dawn, Hitman, and Unravel.
-
I don't want to sound like a weirdo but if you like we could set something up so it's not to expensive for you. We could buy American and have it mailed to the po box. Not sure how that sounds or if that would be any better. When I was in Canada (only a short visit) things didn't see so expensive but I am a tourist and I got tourist stuff like shot glasses and small items (I'm cheap). Just let me know if you really want something and don't want to wait forever to get it. I unlike my bf does not believe in paying full retail and tend to wait things out as well.
-
That's very nice of you, but it's alright :) It'll still work out the same cause paypal would convert the money. But sometimes it's not that bad. A few days ago I was looking at this curling contraption (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E68O4JU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=11OJ9HF6T0V3P&coliid=I2CQ3Z6JJ6X55S&psc=1). Canadian Tire is selling it for the same as amazon's full price (which kind of surprises me), but when I compared the exchange into the sale price plus the duty (my husband said it would be about $10 which isn't too bad) it came to $92ish (cdn) if memory serves, while Canada's amazon with taxes was $103. It really depends on what it is. But in the end I decided it was still too much to spend on something I might not use very much, and I'm just going to get a regular inch barrel iron with a clip that gets hot enough to curl my boring hair.
Just out of curiosity, where did you go in Canada? Some provinces have lower taxes. Ontario is 14%, PEI is 17.5%, Alberta only has one tax so it's 5%, and the others are 13-14%, according to my husband. But if you're paying with US money you're going to be better off because your dollar is worth more.
-
I was in Nova Scotia it was in 2003 or 2004. I did pay with USD so I probably didn't notice. The offer will always be on the table as long as I am on the net regardless if I am still playing the sims or not. That curling iron is pretty cool looking.
-
Thank you, I appreciate that :)
Ohh, okay. I haven't been to Nova Scotia yet. Seems like a really nice place though!
-
It was with the military. We went to the casino, the Natural Science Museum, liquor dome, and a great place to eat. It was a cool time. I got really really drunk. That's of course when I was younger.
-
Lol, still sounds fun :P How much do you remember though, lol?
-
I think we were there a total of 5 days so I had my fair share of fun. There was a hot bartender there, the drinks were really cheap.
I actually enjoyed the museum and all of the sight seeing stuff.
I really like that kind of stuff over partying.
-
You and me both. When I was out of high school I did the partying thing for a little bit but I got bored with it fairly quickly. Not something I like to do often. I'd just... rather go out and do something interesting than be shitfaced and not remember how I got somewhere, or what happened. I pretty much just have a few drinks at home now and then, and never really enough to get drunk. Just to relax, more or less. Nothing against people who like to party often of course, it's just not for me.
I love going through old parts of cities. Montreal's old end has really beautiful architecture, and Quebec City is just gorgeous! You can even tour some parts in a horse carriage. We'll be there in two weeks for a music festival and I'm hoping we'll hang around after to wander and see things we might've missed last time. I know there's an aquarium, for one thing.
-
This sounds so awesome. I hope you enjoy yourself. I love going to aquariums. I like all thing nature as long as it can't get me :D. I know my limits when it comes to drinking. I didn't at one time though....:(
-
A couple years ago we went to the biodome in Montreal after some bigger plans fell through. I don't really remember all that many pleasant things as I ended up feeling really horrible that day and it was ridiculously humid. It wasn't any better in the tropical rainforest area as expected, but it was really pretty and it was neat to walk through and see all the animals. I do remember it was crazy in there; super crowed because there were several groups of kids and they were yelling and being obnoxious. I don't remember a lot about the other sections short of being creeped out by some of the fish in the St. Lawrence. I wish we could've gone to the botanical gardens, but to be honest I think I would've just ruined it with my mood anyway. Maybe another time. You'd probably like it :)
-
Whenever I take trips out of the state. I always try to go when kids are still in school and when tourist season is low :). I know how you feel when it's too hot, lots of noise, lots of craziness and it makes for unpleasant time for vacationing.
What games do you want....
I want the retreat EP for TS4 and some handheld games for my DS hopes to find a cheap Mario although I can't play it.
-
We usually end up right in the middle of it unfortunately. In Quebec they have construction holiday the last 2 weeks of July. My husband works at a company that etches granite for monuments, headstones, plaques, park benches, etc, and usually they take at least one of those weeks off, so we go then. This year they have too much work and aren't closing up, so everyone is taking their vacations pretty scattered. His is the middle of August. It'll still be busy but not quite as bad.
The outdoor retreat pack does look pretty good! I'm not sure why I haven't picked it up yet, especially considering it got a little bit cheaper during that sale. Oh well I guess.
-
Your husband's job sounds cool and hard. I need to get a headstone for my mom. I will work on that soon. I am lucky that I can take vacation whenever but I tend not to, I take days with my friends. My boyfriend has only one week I think but he can't take it until next year after being on his job for a year. We will not be able take vacation together until next year.
I have not seen any discounts on the game yet. I think maybe it's not open to US and if it is I keep missing the deal. I don't want to spend $20.00 on a download instead of a disc. I hope I can catch it on sale one day. I haven't played TS4 since April. :(
-
Aww, that sucks it wont be for quite a while :( Guess that's just how it goes though. But it is pretty cool to be able to take yours whenever.
His job is to take photos, adjust the resolution and alter them to grayscale so the etching will transfer properly. It's kind of like working with sims alphas in a way: the more white something is the more it will show up. He then puts it into a program, moves the granite piece onto the bed, and the laser does it. Then you rub a special white paint which fills in the rough spots from etching, and that's it :) There is also an artist they have who can color it. Man it looks beautiful. What sucks though is that they do it all in a small shop and he's the only one who does that particular job, so it can be difficult for him to take days off cause it kind of disrupts everything. This (http://www.picturethisongranite.com/) is where he works.
Last week I think it was, Outdoor Retreat went down to $15 on Origin as part of their site-wide sale. Do you have a twitter account? I follow The Sims, Sims VIP, and The Sims Community and rarely miss any sales that pop up. Through Origin anyway. Unfortunately CD Keys doesn't have the game or stuff packs.
-
Those pictures are awesome unfortunately giving the circumstances. It also sucks that he can't take off because he's a one many show.
I don't have a twitter :(. I thought I had signed up for emails through origin but I guess I was wrong. Karen over at leefish told me she got a good deal gtw and or. Slightly jealous.....
-
They deal with it if he absolutely needs to, but he tries to work around what's going on. Sometimes they're waiting on confirmation about certain details or the funds for a few days, and if there's not too much to do they can kind of lump them together in one day or two so he can take a little time off. As much money as they make I'm surprised they haven't hired another person for it because there are two machines.
I bet she did. Thankfully there seems to be a lot of sales that pop up. I see Target mentioned quite often, and Amazon. OR is full price at both right now unfortunately.
-
Sad face. I hate paying full price. I am hoping there is a 4th of July sale.
It's not like I have to have it but I really really really want it, lol.
-
Lol I know what you mean. I'm sure something with come up :)
-
Oh a way way way off topic, I am a flesh wound lol.
