I mean, there were lots of multiplayer games when I grew up, before CoD or Halo, but still.

Doesn't change that I dislike most of these.

"D'abord le journal il a fait un article sur lui sans même lui demander la permission!"

Et en plus, ils ont essayé de le contacter avant.

Wow. On se prend pas pour de la merde dans ce gouvernement.

Has it ever been something else? Nobody using "woke" seriously has ever been able to define it.

Voir : démission de courtoisie. Attal et Borne (en 2022) ont déposé leur démission suite aux législatives pour des raisons de tradition. Si Barnier démissionnait dans la situation actuelle, c'est qu'il veut vraiment se barrer, donc je ne vois pas comment on pourrait l'en empêcher.

SmileBASIC (cool programming language thing that has had versions on DS, 3DS, Wii U and Switch) supports usb keyboard and mouse on Switch.

Switch software can support USB mice, I hope that's what they will be going for (even if they release an old-school SNES-like mouse to go with it).

Also, getting over their fear of running water.

Europe does, at least for Nintendo e-shop. For some reason Nintendo keeps managing both at the same time. When PEGI (Europe's own ratings) is totally okay with a game, but Australia has a brain fart and thinks a retro-style shoot'm up with pixellated little spaceships shooting at each other needs to be mature, the game is suspended form the e-shop for both regions, generally for months.

There's some weird ripple effect going on I think, it goes through an international rating system of which Australia's one of the biggest member. But the fact still is a game that passes the (mostly) reasonable PEGI can still be removed from the shop if a very stupid butterfly flaps its wings on the other side of the world.

There are several projects trying to do their own life sim. One that was supposed to be published by Paradox was cancelled recently, shortly before planned release, and to the surprise of the dev team apparently.

This is not an easy genre to develop for, lots of things can go wrong and it might be hard to find a good balance between boring and unmanageable feature creep.

Even Cities Skyline devs had a headstart, they already had a successful transport sim before they tried to fill the smoking crater left by EA SimCity's explosion.

I don't think "for the time" is that relevant here. My major problem with it is how shallow it is. All 5 phases are so repetitive, with so little variations and so little to do.

The only good things about it were the editors, those were impressive, especially the creature editor. But it's just cosmetic, mechanics are so poor almost nothing emerges from it. It's quite disappointing for designers that have been major actors of the simulation genre forever.

Will Wright was still there for Spore, so everything he touched was not gold. It's supposed to be a whole universe and it's barely a simulation of anything, somehow he forgot to design a game around it.

And now he's hopped on the Blockchain/NFT train...

Yeah, pretty much. The best Sims game doesn't exist, it's a Frankenstein monster that would take bits of the 4 games.

I love the idea of 3 with the open city and NPC progression, but wow this game's an unstable glitchy mess. It's not even close to be playable without many unofficial fixes, and even then, it runs like shit.

The only things I'd take from 4 would be maybe moods (nice to have, I guess) and the more organic body models, with more seemless morphs. 4's gameplay is boring as hell, nothing interesting ever happens. And they got rid of create-a-style which is a huge creativity downgrade.
