The last time The Sims as a series was anything worth playing and resembled a game instead of a DLC platform loosely shaped in the idea of a game. It had an open world, with no loading screens across the entire town. This helped the towns feel more like actual pockets of activity instead of weird disconnected spaces. Your Sims were more realistic and grounded; they could be goofy and cartoonish at times...but it wasn't moodswing city; rather a composite of all factors around them.
I enjoyed many hours within the many towns, and even once had a sim bring a townie ghost back to life to court them! Another time I enacted a Plumbot invasion; replacing every townie with a plumbot. It was a game that thanks to things like Create a Style, allowed you to really enthusiastically decorate the entire town how you wanted!
Shame about the launcher being built on wooden sticks and Internet Explorer, but the rest of it was great.
Use to play this game all the time when I was younger- many hours of shenanigans. 1 & 2 weren't half bad either. Would love to preserve this game so the EA gods can't take it off us and hide it in a dark corner with 1 & 2. So hard to play modern day without pulling out our old-ish tech :) I don't like Sims 4 as much as 3 but it's okay. I would really love to play it some more but I can't see it being released on Gog as EA loves their bloated EA play app.
I started with sims 1, which I love. But the announcement of the 3 at the time made me dream. And it didn't disappoint, given the possibilities it offered. Unfortunately, this came at the expense of numerous bugs that EA has never corrected to this day... Too ambitious? Perhaps.
Even so. I like coming back to the game, making my house or the city the way I want. Having a mummy watching TV (yes, yes^^). Teenagers throwing eggs at houses, a sim coming home from work and discovering infidelity with the neighbor, friendships forming (or not). In short, it's full of possibilities, making it a little masterpiece to be preserved forever in drmfree.
EA, if you still have any respect for your fans, please release Sims 1/2/3 on GOG. Maybe even GOG will be better than you at fixing the remaining bugs.
Monster Hunter 2Monster Hunter 2 has an improved weapon tree and upgradeable armors. As in all Monster Hunter games, armor pieces can be worn to obtain skills and abilities. A new feature in Monster Hunter 2 is the use of gems. Gems add skill points to complement those added by armor and weapons. Gems are created by combining ore and/or monster parts. Gems can be attached and detached from armor and weapons that have special gem slots.
Along with the various species of monster returning from the first Monster Hunter, Monster Hunter 2 contains many new monsters, such as the metallic wind dragon Kushala Daora, the lion-headed dragon Teo Teskatoru (named Teostra in the North American and PAL versions of Monster Hunter Freedom 2) and his female counterpart Nana Teskatory (named Lunastra in the North American and PAL versions of MHF2), the primates Babakonga and Dodobrango (Congalala and Blangonga in MHF2), the bull or minotaur-like monster Rajang, and the chameleon-like dragon Oonazuchi (Chameleos in MHF2). With new monsters also comes the prospect of new weapons and armor.Action Sandbox

Monster HunterMonster Hunter is an online action-hunting game by CAPCOM for the PlayStation 2 released on March 11th, 2004 in Japan, and September 21st, 2004 in North America. The game is a fantasy hunting simulator filled with many deadly monsters. Like actual hunting, successfully killing or capturing the monsters requires significant strategy, skill and involved resource management. While initially considered a commercial failure, Monster Hunter would go on to become one of CAPCOM's highest selling franchises.
Despite featuring an offline mode, Monster Hunter was primarily an online game. The official servers were shut down on December 31, 2007 in North America and Europe, and July 1, 2011 in Japan. This means that it is now impossible to play online on official CAPCOM servers. Despite this, the game still features a small active community on private servers.Action Fantasy Survival
