tl;dr inZOI is an empty prototype that focuses way more on AI technology than anything fun or meaningful, don't buy it right now. maybe when the game fully releases it'll be better but the direction seems kind of flawed from the start.

this game is extremely early access.
think of sims, except instead of a team of people very deliberately putting lots of stuff together for tons of different contexts, it's all run by a shitty AI.
the foundation is fine, and i do like some of the ideas the game is going for, but it really seems like they focused way too much on random AI features instead of making an actual game.
the graphics are also pretty on the surface, but completely fall apart in motion. no matter what settings you're playing on it's going to look bad. i really, really hate modern rendering techniques. sims 2 looks better than this shit because it's actually a stable image and it's pretty clean too.

definitely DO NOT BUY until they really get more stuff here. there's barely anything to do and there are only some extremely specific things you can interact with. going to school is a rabbithole, which is horrible when you consider that the in-game time even on the fastest setting is ridiculously slow. i've got it set to 48 minute days, the lowest one, whereas sims 4's default is 24 minutes. if it could be sped up more that would be fine, but it still goes by really slowly especially when there's like nothing to do. NPCs seemingly never talk to your character, you have to initiate every interaction and they'll often just walk away after you say one thing unless you queue things up.

it does kind of feel like this game is leaning way more into AI features than being a life sim, like why in the absolute fuck did they spend so much time developing AI that can track movements onto a character? there's no point whatsoever.

played for not even 5 hours and yeah, it just made me want to play sims instead. there's really a whole lot of nothing here and that's a pretty good way to describe it. there's a lot of shit, it's just that none of it is actually meaningful or valuable at all.

paralives can't come soon enough.

lol

this is what inZOI looks like without any anti-aliasing, DLSS, or raytracing in 1080p. high settings. completely unacceptable. all of that crust rapidly flickers, too.

@xianc78 @picandor @Lemonid @tomie there was someone pretending to be a lawyer that no longer worked at Nintendo for years, kaze did a video about it a while ago

@tomie @Lemonid @xianc78 people mad about AI would make shit up to win arguments? Color me surprised

@xianc78 this shit is gay and with this C&D they officially lost the culture war to AI of all things
the trend was already starting to die down, ffs
