In “Simulation Life 25 Birthday”, let us celebrate the weird and weird original original

Birthday, Celebrate, Life, original, Simulation, Weird

If you have been playing “Simulation Life” like me, because at the beginning, when the first game came out, you were a small child, right? It was today 25 years ago. Therefore, if you are still large enough and you can play on your computer at that time, then you must now be at least 30 years old, at least playing on the computer; Anyone in the series has really got up there for many years. The simulation life in the original outing is not aging, but we will definitely do this.

I guarantee that this preface is not just a severe souvenir. The purpose of driving is that children who grow up with the original simulation life sometimes are afraid of games. Of course it is correct for me. When I first saw those classic live TV advertisements, I fell in love with “Simulation Life”, and I could clearly remember that sometimes I was frustrated or afraid of playing it.

For the first time, I cried a SIM child, because his grades were not good (especially fear The concept of 10 years old), me Beautiful Of course, whenever the music is tingling, I have to let my mother sit with me, which shows that a ghost in the Gothic cemetery is walking at midnight. Others also reported the initial fear of reactions. Even if they heard music tips now, this means that the thief (or the release of the release packets may be just a raccoon) is approaching their simulated life.

But that's a child, right? I am 34 years old now, and I am full of love for all horrible things, and I still can't feel frustrated by simulating my life.

Everbright. This is my idea, until I started watching some retrospective videos on YouTube before I started to celebrate today. In less than five minutes, I saw a child simulating hunger, and immediately remembered Oh, yes, simulation life 1 is actually very painfulEssence Even if you can overcome the visual effects of SIM in the real pain that maintains the same or less in the entire series, I have forgotten how terrible Scream yes. These have never really returned to any renewal.

The original simulation life is not completely euphemistic-“punching bowl” and “foam hair dryer” have stood in the kind of hard substances that make the game enjoying too high age scores; at the same time, babies are made through many kisses, Your simulation life needs to buy special furniture, specializing in “playing”, if they want to be closer to the romantic partner. But from the beginning, the simulation life also includes some surprising darkness and rough things.

In contrast to those painful and realistic death pain, you can hire a party entertainer. He is a very obvious undressed dancer, so that everyone can make a joke except for the most sheltered age. Jacquly jokes technically, more things exhibited in the swimsuit. (By the way, “Cake Dancer” is being retrieved to the explosion rate of “The Sims 4” in the past activities (The Sims 4). Life is almost naked. No matter how the context has lost some of the default clothing, I don't think I need to say too much about the Go-GO-GO CAGE dance animation so that you can get this idea.

The frequent criticism of the entire mimic of life is that it has become more and more disinfected with the passage of time, and it is difficult to argue with it. The original general weirdness has been diluted, with a more ideal and optimistic attitude, what does “cartoon -like” mean.

In fact, I dare to be sure that there are many reasons for this situation over time, but my first idea is-different from all sequel-simulation of life in the unique position of life without strong listeners' consciousness will be Essence After all, this is a sandbox of an experimental architecture. It transformed into a life simulator during its development. This type did not really disappear until that point. There is no script to follow. In order to further exacerbate the confusion, it is not particularly obvious that who would want to play video games (the only thing that boys like), which is closely imitating the enjoyment of moving dolls around a doll (it is said that only girls are only girls. Favorite things). Therefore, in fact, the humor and aesthetics of primitive simulation life tend to agree with the interest of programming computer games in California in the late 1990s, which is not surprising.

Then, of course, the simulation life found the audience. As we know now, the most shocking thing is that it turns out that women and girls actually really like video games. These video games recognize their common interests and life experience. Simulation life has become the best -selling PC game so far. This is largely because it has achieved amazing success among female players. This is a sellable crowd. Until that moment, most game publishers did Essence Of course, many people also like it, because this is a great game, because in any case, the idea of ​​ruthless gender hobbies is still nonsense. Providing screen privacy for men, it turns out that even if the potential and violence are very limited (although we have seen it, they are very limited (although far from no).

However, of course, once you have the audience, especially a audience who is eager to be like primitive Emimer, I long for what they like-commercial considerations. Flourish In all these darkness and filming, you cannot sell them particularly to the latter. It becomes a bit like Catch-22. Among them, EA completely realizes that the introduction of severe and burrs content is the favorite of non-controversial fans, but you cannot make this kind of thing the core part of the game, not big Reduce your scope and be able to sell actual sales. And we may not want to admit it, but if there is no game they can sell, there will be no simulation life at all.

Therefore, in a sense, the best way is to appreciate what we have in “Simulation Life 1: A Strange and Wonderful Little Experiment”, which leads to great things, but may never repeat-of course-of course-of course It is not an EA by a company like a company and a small conservative. But on the 25th birthday of the original game, let's take some time to remember the “comfort” game. also Good health-Indeed, “Simulation Life 4” makes its image excited by changing attention to the dual things of gender and death, although the current conversation is more serious and serious than the dialogue in Simulation 1 “. , But I still think that this is just what I mean me.

I am glad that they did not bring back the sound of death. Yes.
