LGR - The Sims Medieval Review

[@johndoelopez1206]

EA is stupid dropping this game it had so much potential.

[@randombrokeperson]

EA dropped this, Urbz Sims, and a good TS4 lol

[@thisismyname5657]

@@randombrokeperson Honestly I think The Sims 4 is pretty good. The lack of an open world is a massive downside but through patches and DLC it's not nearly as lacking as it was in the content department and the major optimization, graphical improvements, and the greatly improved CAS/Build Mode make up for it.

[@SpookyMarine]

Abigail Foote The worst pack in Sims 3 is still better than anything Sims 4 has put out. I’ll actually stay in Katy Perry’s house of pain over Sims 4 any day.

[@brightblue2415]

@@thisismyname5657 There is no create-style and no color wheels in build and buy mode and create-a-sim in The Sims 4, except for cats and dogs for some reason. The improvements with objects placing, dragging rooms and body parts and resizing don't make up for the lack of customisation.

[@quaesitrix881]

The customization options, from the color wheel to the custom patterns, were really great in Sims Medieval. It was the first time I saw the create style option, and I thought it was a great idea. Much better than being stuck with items/clothings you like in colors and patterns you dislike. I just with this system of customization was more widespread.

[@LordofFullmetal]

Lord, I would pay SO much money for a sandbox version of the Sims: Medieval. Like, a full on, proper version that had the style of Medieval, but where you have the same amount of freedom as in the Sims 3. Sadly, that won't ever happen. But I would be more than willing to pay full price for it; which for EA games, is rare for me. I like their games, but I fucking DESPISE them as a business; enough that it makes me not want to buy their games.

[@ZorotheGallade]

+LordofFullmetal You can play Dwarf Fortress if you don't mind the graphics.

[@LordofFullmetal]

YoSeriousLee Yeah, Dragon Valley's alright as far as downloadable neighbourhoods go. But I agree; it's nowhere near close enough.

[@LordofFullmetal]

ZorotheGallade Huh; might have to check that out.

[@ZorotheGallade]

+LordofFullmetal It has a very steep learning curve, but once you can get the ball rolling it's basically...Warcraft meets The Sims and Rogue, and all three of them get smashed at a pub.

[@LordofFullmetal]

ZorotheGallade Whoa, sounds cool. Thanks Xx

[@SourBitters]

Years later, I'm still wondering why they don't do time period roleplay sims games with MORE freedom than this. Modding communities always have entire catalogs of medieval and Victorian era stuff, (but all they can normally do is aesthetically change objects) I don't think I'm the only one that wants this.

[@amberlilly1899]

SourBitters simply not the style of the sims series there's other games like that

[@youhaveagodcomplex5590]

Yeah like assassin's creed but sandbox

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

You are not the only one! Even if they added a true eras system to the game where there was no risk of a townie running through in modern clothes on their cellphone, it would be cool.

[@LittleMyMiss]

It's an amazing game. Too bad EA has completely dropped this game and doesn't update it anymore.

[@thatgirltiffany]

They don't give a shit about the sims 3 anymore either, the last update on it was back in 2014 and was pretty much only on the latest expansion. Thanks EA, for creating games and completely ignore them when you find out its not your cash cow anymore.

[@rlowdon]

I mean, it's pretty old now....there's a lot of content for Sims 4. You can't expect a game company to keep every game they've made up to date forever....

[@LittleMyMiss]

CodeRed Ofcourse, but this game doesn't support windows 8 or higher. And that's a problem that's been going on for years now (even before the sims 4 came out). You'd expect a company to fix such a big issue

[@rlowdon]

Old games die off, it's how it works. They don't have to update all their games to work with the latest OS. There's a new Sims now, so that's what they focus on

[@LittleMyMiss]

CodeRed That is true but like I said before, this was already a problem BEFORE the sims 4 was even fully announced

[@michaelfreeman3189]

This was actually a very good side game for the Sims. I actually find myself playing this much more than the Sims 4 right now. Some of my major concerns is sometimes it's impossible to do your daily tasks as ingredients aren't available and there are a lot of bugs that have not been patched yet. Sometimes leaving you to restart a mission from scratch.

[@historyfreak6591]

I actually really like this game. although the gameplay is not the same as the sims 3, I sometimes find the quest system refreshing when I get bored of the sims 3. I also like the look of it. Total medieval world!

[@taariyadavis4977]

How do get over having to start a kingdom fresh every time you start a new ambition and having to do the same quests and unlock the same things over again? Are there completely new quests for every ambition or is it really all the same, just with different end goals? That's my main reason for being unsure whether to buy it or not.

[@historyfreak6591]

You can't really but I find the fun is in creating new characters and stories and putting characters from tv shows and movies into it. And also you can choose different choices each time and different quests are opened sooner based on which roles you open first.

Arthas Menethil I bought the deluxe version (so the pirates and nobles expansion was already there), for only £10.25 last week.

[@GreatFox42]

I will say this about the game. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about the way the sims are animated here seems much more appealing to me than it does in any of the main games. Or maybe it's that the animations are the same but the aesthetics are different...I dunno. Truth is the aesthetics of the sims themselves have always quietly bothered me. They just moved too jankily for my liking; too cartoonish. Granted they move cartoonily here too, but something about it here just works in my eyes. I dunno.

[@madisonflowers7449]

+GreatFox42 I thought I was the only one who thought the same thing!

[@LordofFullmetal]

+GreatFox42 He did SAY in the first few minutes that they look more realistic in this game. But yeah, the Sims are MEANT to be cartoonish. It's just the aesthetic the creators have chosen to use. If you don't like it that's perfectly fine; but there's really nothing you can do, unless you wanna go ahead and make an overhaul mod. The Sims is not meant to be a realistic game; it's designed to be cartoonish and silly in every single aspect. it makes sense the sims themselves look that way. if you want a more realistic game, you really should be looking elsewhere.

[@MagicalAuroraDream]

It's like they have more warmth to them. As Clint mentioned, it's kind of something in the skin. They don't quite have the same sort of squishy pudding-face look as in The Sims 3 despite using similar engine elements. (I call TS3 sims pudding-faced because that's kind of how I perceive them, but I am legally blind, so that might not be the best descriptor. Still, their faces, even if they're thin, just always look kind of squishy to me.)

[@foxygrin]

@@MagicalAuroraDream Yeah they looked like they were made out of clay. In Medieval they have more texture, and you can set things like the opacity of age details which I reaaaally appreciate; let my sims have wrinkles without looking 100 years old EA!! It's either that or a baby face right now :(

[@MagicalAuroraDream]

Universe Artist Glad my assessment was pretty much on point! I actually tend to like aspects of TS4's graphics, even if I prefer much of TS3's and even TS2's gameplay.

For the time it's great but nowdays I'd just play the Sims 2 instead, even if I get annoyed it has no Create a Style. Which I miss now after I've played the Sims 3 so much lately, that feature has spoilt me once I tryed it out once.

[@LouisShields]

Yeah, 1) The Sims 2 2) The Sims 3) The Sims 3 4) The Sims 4

[@ZanathKariashi]

For clarification, since he refers to the Kingdom goal and the quests as Quests. When you start a new game, you pick a Kingdom goal, based on the goals you've unlocked. (the initial goal is more of a tutorial and merely requires you to build all possible buildings in a kingdom to Win). There is no free-play mode initially, and anytime you're actually using Sims you will be on a quest. These quests have clear goals and a time-limit (though usually pretty generous), and determine which classes you can play as. (some quests allow multiple heroes to be used, or change how to reach the goal depending on the hero chosen) and cost quest points of which you only have a limited amount. The initial Kingdom has a simple goal and is basically impossible to fail, so you don't have to worry about what quests you choose to play. Completing quests gives the chosen character/s an amount of xp/gold based on your performance, as well as modifying your Kingdom in various ways, and adds Kingdom points for unlocking new buildings. Fulfilling the goal unlocks free-play mode for that Kingdom, which allows you to pick 1-4 heroes to manage with no particular goal to work towards, aside their personal daily duties. Once you've completed the initial Kingdom goal, you'll have unlocked other goals for new Kingdoms, which have more specific requirements and require you to choose your quests more carefully to ensure that you don't run out of quest points before achieving the goal. If you want the more free-form sandbox experience, this game REALLY isn't for you. But if your the type who needs goals to work towards but aren't good at making your own, this may be a good purchase.

[@alicethemadrabbit1842]

[@LadyDoomsinger]

Sims Medieval is my favorite Sims game, specifically because of the narrative structure - the way you had specific questlines and stories to complete made it feel a lot more... I hesitate to say Focused... than Sims 3. While I enjoyed Sims 3 and 4, I often get burned out playing them, because they get very repetitive after awhile, doing the same chores, jobs, school, etc. often off-screen - in Sims Medieval each "Quest" was it's own story, and involved a variety of events and characters to interact with. It was also coincidentally the first Sims game I ever played, although I owned Sims 3 at the time, I could not run Sims 3 on my PC.

[@UniQueLyEviL]

I really appreciated this game. I wish they did more with the concept. =(

Carl johnson no you complete your campaign and start another. You can take a day off and then do only one part of the quest though. You can kinda free roam as long as you don't completely ignore your quest for a week

I still think this game was great for what it was. I sank tons of hours into it, however, unfortunately it is lacking on greater depth. There's a progression system where you can continue to create new kingdoms and play them with different goals in mind, but after while they all play so samey there isn't much incentive to keep going beyond a few levels deep. It would have been excellent had it been expanded upon. Or maybe they could have beefed up their "free play" mode allowing for multiple generations and dynasties while still having a separate mission based play. Oh well. "What Could Have Been" could be applied at this point to dozens and dozens of EA games....

Newer comment here. October 2020: I just bought the whole game on Origin’s site for $19.95 USD. It contained the expansion pack of Pirates and Nobles as well. Played it all weekend. It’s very fun. Actually, for what it’s worth, it’s a lot more fun than Sims 4. Sure there are rabbit holes, but there are more locations to WALK to and explore, and it actually feels like there are less rabbit holes than Sims 4. The Sims Medieval doesn’t bombard with load screens. Maybe because I’m goin through the ‘honeymoon’ phase with this game, but it’s actually really fun IMHO. No. The graphics are not Sims 4, but they are livable. I would have enjoyed CC made by people for this, but as a whole it makes a worthy stand alone game in general.

Lowdog002 It was not the composer of just the game, It was the composer of most of the entire Franchises music. Dragonball is still one of the strongest anime's on the planet, of course he's going to get sued for stealing parts from multiple songs. This is just a very faint resemblance- Not enough to go by really.

Video Game Industry Politics is a confusing subject. It's not uncommon for companies to harass others because of the use of words that appear in the Oxford Dictionary only to completely ignore blatant rip offs. It all depends on whether they feel they have anything to gain from the prospect, and they're all a bunch of delusional megalomanic bastards making it even more confusing.

And Assassin's Creed copies the Knights Templar in a way. So therefore they can't really claim the design as their own since it kind of relates to world history which can be used by anyone.

[@RedWolfVids]

Nar ubisoft isn't like that unline EA and apple they aren't pussies who sue someone if the gui is the same colour or something

[@alyssao517]

This game disappointed me, like I wanted family members fighting & killing for the throne & order people’s executions 😭

[@jess-rob]

i play mainly ts4 with a bit of ts3 mixed in, and i always come back to this game. it’s such a fun disruption from the monotony that can come from a traditional sims game. i love having quests to complete, characters (heroes) who are quite distinct, and a visually lovely aesthetic. while medieval is nowhere near complete (and i wish they had been able to expand on it), i inevitably return to it at least once a year. there’s limited gameplay, and once you reach the threshold it’s not nearly as fun, but until then, i always have a blast. i love this game and i so wish they had expanded on it more than just with pirates & nobles

[@dustinnelsonmusic]

I think the point of games like this and Urbz was the Sims testing how people would respond to RPG (ish?) style. Clearly it didn't go as well as planned though.

[@ExtraordinaryDork]

While this game could have been better, I still think its amazing an absolutely unique, and I still continue to play it every now and again. I think my biggest disappointment, is how as you level up and start new kingdoms, there's not new quests.

[@portugalgamermanel3404]

if you have a familly and your hero died. your son can continue with your stuff. also, get married and have a love one get your caracter a lot of boost like the sims. in sword fighting have a few choices who make more damage, play more safe for stamina or heath, you have to concern with both. you lose battle if you're tierd too. you can do a lot of stuff. don't need to do only stuff for quest. you can take 3 days to do a little step of the quest with no penalty in your happiness, after some time the caracter will feel lost of the way. the writting of the stories also is very good. you can get a lot of fun

[@rubbishwithisabella1455]

That Monty Python reference... My man, you are now my favourite KZbinr.

[@grafxtitan]

Eight and a half years later and a few lazy wheel scrolls down tells me no one has noticed this... That's you doin the Duke at 4:02 "Medieval." In case you guys don't know, his Duke Nukem impression is... impressionably impressive. Hail to the King baby!

[@MariahTheSloth]

I like how years ago it is 50 bucks and now I just checked and it is like 5 dollars on Amazon haha. I mean, now it is more worth getting for christmas than 50.

[@Matrilwood]

The PS2 editions of the sims were my favorites, so I think I'll give this a shot ^^

[@FrenchBaguette]

omgggg yes ! the sims bustin out is litteraly amazing ! those quests and stuff like that !

[@danedog1157]

I think it is a fair review of a game I really spent a lot of time on. Like others in the comment-section I really want a new Sims Medieval-game and maybe a more open version with build mode and aging. What I think your review was missing was the part that for every "game" you unlock you have to restart entirely, which was one of the few things that annoyed me in the game. That and the view-angle when your sim is in a building.

[@abi21891]

I've used your channel to guide me in all of my sims expansion pack purchasing. You make a lot of really good points, and you're downright interesting to watch. I've never disagreed with you once, keep doing what you're doing!

[@LGR]

Thank you, I am glad the videos have been useful!

[@barrybend7189]

Who ever asked the Swallow question you are a great person.

[@DarkMirria1]

The concept of a Medieval Sima game seems like something that would’ve been straight up my ally.

[@Christmasnighty]

Your video is really cool, man. Your "Nope," surely amused most of us. ;)

[@Brenmuffins]

12 years later I’m thinking of buying this

[@Ice.muffin]

Damn you're good. So good. Professional quality reviews.

[@mikehorrod4367]

This is prime LGR. Clint at his best. Congrats on 10 years !

[@CarrowMind]

I like the AOE2 music at the end.

[@junelangley2800]

Shame, I was hoping for a Sims 3 style game set in a Medieval style, where you can behold castles and houses and kingdoms and stuff, and with Ambitions or Get-to-Work style careers like being a monarch, where you actually have to run a kingdom by talking with advisors, and commanding your servants, like blacksmiths and bakers.

[@junelangley2800]

Two minutes in and there is already a Monty Python reference. Those is gonna be brilliant.

[@PeteQuaint]

The battle system is lacking, yes, but there are fun ways to role play your way around it. Keep losing duels to this one sim? Poison their drink at the tavern! Combustion cordial prevent them from using armor, but that could makes them attack faster. Still losing? Team up with the wizard. Spells like magic arrow and inferno damages people, and the damage stacks. Other spells like telepathy and flare would help buff your sim focus. More of a bird person? Sic your pet on them instead. Take the opponent's fatal flaw into account too. Puny sims get worse with every fight. Sims with hubris get worse every time they won. Don't mess with the bloodthirsty ones, be underhanded with those. Got mugged, walking back from the tavern? Try tired your sims out to escape, instead of fighting them, especially at low level. Spam moves to tired yourself out. During a duel (not to death), when stamina runs out, combat stop. Otherwise, your sim will get KO for a couple hours, which kinda sucks. Be strategic with your moves and modes: Hilt smash is a fun move, it reduces a lot of the opponent's stamina when connect. Great for pacifist types. Whirling takedown is a gambling move, it doesn't hit often, but is devastating when do. Mortal blow is a guaranteed finisher when you whittle them down enough, and it's pretty cathartic when hits.

[@louiseoliver3668]

I appreciated that Holy Grail reference wayy to much😍

[@Chosen_One]

Not KZbin recommending this to me 12 years later. It makes me think of how it used to look 🤔

[@sobored9277]

This game run more softly in my pc than the sims 2, and honestly I love it
