Talk:The Sims Medieval

More work

I thought this could use some more work so I fixed some things and added some new information that had come out. It's mention on the Sims series page was also not up to date. I don't know how to add screenshots, however, or how the copyright works. It would be helpful if someone could do that. --76.241.15.42 (talk) 07:20, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Witches vs. Wizards

The game actually refers to them as Wizards. "The Witch" is a known antagonist, not a class. Unless there's any objection I'll be changing it, but I don't want it to just get changed back... --98.255.200.119 (talk) 03:12, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

The female counterpart of the Wizard class is the Sorceress. 173.180.89.129 (talk) 03:15, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Source? --24.18.55.50 (talk) 18:35, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

No Building or CAS?

I read somewhere that the developers took out the building and CAS features. Is this true? 142.26.194.190 (talk) 00:27, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

To whoever wrote "CHEATS"

Don't be such an idiot. Stuff like that does NOT belong on Wikipedia. There are cheat sites for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.62.126 (talk) 06:29, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

I have contacted the IP Address on his or her talk page about making unnecessary contributions like that to Wikipedia. G₩PSP090+ 07:00, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Duplicate reviews?

The referenced GamePro and PC Advisor reviews, both entitled "The Sims Medieval Review", contain almost identical text. Not sure if this is plagiarism or the same author legitimately submitting a review to two different web sites, but I don't believe they should be treated as two different reviewers' opinions. Funcrunch (talk) 05:20, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Very little. It didn't seem like they both had same text. Also, I don't think it's the same author, as both the websites contain reviews written by their staffs. Novice7 (talk) 13:30, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Look at the opening sentences of each article, they are only slightly re-worded:

GamePro: "I'm not sure why everyone wants to role-play the Middle Ages. By all accounts it was a horrible place filled with famine, plague, war, and religious turmoil. But I, like millions of other people who go to Renaissance Festivals and watched The Tudors on Showtime, am so fascinated by the Middle Ages, I play games like Civilization and Total War just so I can experience it."

PCAdvisor: "Why does everyone want to role-play the Middle Ages? By all accounts it was a horrible place, rife with famine, plague, war, and religious turmoil. Yet millions of people visit Renaissance Fairs, watch The Tudors, and play games like Civilization and Total War so they can get a flavor of the Middle Ages."

And then a few paragraphs down:

GamePro: "I was a little frustrated at first -- I found myself shirking jobs so that I could rush through quests faster and hopefully have more free time to make my Sim do random stuff (like seducing that Alewife). But the second time my Spy wound up in the stocks, I cracked open the in-game tutorial Lessons and adjusted my gameplay habits to do what Sims Medieval wants instead of what the Sims 3 allows."

PCAdvisor: "This proved to be a little frustrating at first. I shirked jobs so I could rush through quests faster and create more free time to seduce Alewives. But the second time my Spy wound up in the stocks, I adjusted my gameplay habits to comply what Sims Medieval expects from its players."

Just slightly re-wording the same text in these paragraphs and throughout the entire review. Funcrunch (talk) 18:47, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you pointing that out Funcrunch. I've removed the PC Advisor review, and kept the GamePro one. The latter was published first, so I thought it could stay. I've also added a few other reviews. Novice7 (talk) 03:43, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

PC Gamer review

It's been up for almost two weeks and is more tepid than other reviews, which is necessary balance (critic reviews so far have been more positive than user reviews). Could someone with skill at editing articles add this?

Weird Reviews Chosen

This may be explainable, considering the people 'in charge' of this page are something called the sims task force and obviously like the game, but the reviews on this page are bizarrely positive. I've only read pretty scathing reviews of it by several popular reviewers, citing crashes, inconsistent game play, and generally a lack of interest. I'm not saying they're all right, but this article needs to show that it got more than just pleasant positive reviews. Whitewaterwood (talk) 06:32, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

i dont have exact dates but september is better than no information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.208.59.120 (talk) 18:44, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

.NET Framework Initialization Error message.

What is up with this message? I've not really heard of .NET. The fact that it doesn't say where you can get the 4.0 version doesn't help. 66.82.162.12 (talk) 16:52, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Wait, never mind. I'm at the .NET Framework 4.0 page on microsoft.com. 66.82.162.12 (talk) 16:57, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
