Teh Movies?

[TopSecretBoy]

Anyone played it? I think it's fun as shit. Kinda like the sims, but not gay. Kinda fun making movies and such. I'm in 1952. And I've only won two awards. =(


Got a strange feeling I'm the only one here playing this...

[wmgreer]

I've seen it,looked at it and almost bought it. I thought it would be like the sims. What do you do, besides make movies? Do you haveto clean up after them, make them eat, sleep, etc like in the sims?

Wow, you are playing The Movies? When I first saw the game, I thought they have a really powerful graphic engine, and felt it was wasted on a simulation; they really should have made an RPG or a shooter with that engine.

Seeing how everyone here is either anti-Sims or anti-tycoon, I was surprised to hear that you are actually enjoying it. What's so great about it?

How long have you been playing? You'll probably get bored of it before you finish it. After Black and White 2 I'm sick of Peter Molywhatever and his fuck ups. The only thing he makes that I'm going to play is the next Fable.

[amirin]

wait, anti-sims is right. But since when we're anti-tycoon?

[No Soul]

Bought it, played it. There isn't enough people who want jobs in your company to satisify everyone's needs. That and the damn AI keep using the same sets over and over, which "kills" it.

Wtf! Eddie Guerrero's dead?

[No Soul]

Died November 13 due to Heart failure (heart disease), caused by the drugs. He celebrated his 4th year of sobriety that week.

Yeah, it's fun but only for a week. Download, play, delete.

[Downfall]

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Yeah, it's actually pretty fucking fun. Sometimes your writers use the same sets over and over again, but that can be easily changed by writing your own movies.

I was 7th out of 7 on the list of companies. And I only had about 200k, which is ok, but not great. 800k is great. My action star was rated number two on the charts, as well as my action director. So what I did was, designed my own war movie called "Dogs". It was 14 scenes (Which is huge. Most computer made movies are about six.) It took 24 months to film, and 250k. (I went into negative funds.) But when it was released, it was right at the start of the soviet erra, so action was a good movie to release. It got 3/5 stars (Which is excellent for that time.) and was voted best movie. I made almost a million dollars on that film and boosted myself to 3rd place. =D Right film + right time = PWN. And then it won best film at the award ceremony. I actually felt proud. O_o Took me like a damn hour to make it.

On the sims aspect -> No, you don't have to feed, sleep, potty train your actors/extras/directors/ etc. You can leave them completely alone if you wish. But say your director has been working for 12 months, non-stop. He'll be insanely stressed out. So what do you do? Get him drunk. Stuff his face with an eating habit, get a face-lift, new clothes. Whatever makes him happy. You got to please your actors/director so they'll produce better films. You need to get good film crews and shit too. When I made dogs, I selected the best crew, best extras, best supporting actors, etc etc.

Is the game easy to pick up?

I ain't even gonna play that piece of shit either. Peter Molyfuck sucks ass.

[Digital Limit]

My artsyfartsy friends with their artsyfartsy movies want this game.

It looks fun, though I'd probably prefer RollerCoaster Tycoon.

Oh yeah. I was overwhelmed for five minutes. Then it was like "Oh."

And no, I haven't gotten bored of it yet.
