Funny review. I guess he didn't mind burning bridges with EA. He had to have known that it was going to happen.

That was magnificent. Not as a review, but as a story that adequately replaced a real review.

This.

It is funny, but also highly unprofessional and should never have been published.

I dunno I think it's fine as a review. Not like a review needs to examine every facet of the game / expansion pack / whatever. Reading this you can tell he thinks it's a soulless, overpriced, no-effort release that should not have existed and isn't even worth gracing with anything more indepth than that. it's not detailed but it still speaks a lot about the content and the quality of the pack

lolwut. Did you even read it?

He doesn't like a 10 pound expansion that adds nothing other than shitty outfits that advertise for a certain company, it's nothing specific against H&M.

I mean, it's a review for a $10 fashion pack DLC, not exactly the most important or serious material ever written about. I quite enjoy when things are so bad the reviewer has an existential crisis over it.

Yeah, I'm sure there were lots of upset gamers that didn't get enough info about yet another expansion for The Sims 2, which was basically H+M and EA jerking each other off and making money from it.

He deserves more credit for his writing. Car show buffoonery aside his writing is usually a total joy to read.

It's the type of thing that could just as easily have been written by someone who didn't play the expansion. In fact there's no real indication that this writer did. It's all about him objecting on principal, which is not what people read reviews for.

I don't know what you're reading, but people don't get that passionate about something they haven't played.
