Prima Guide?

[Cassie]

I think they usually are out beforehand, not sure how far ahead though. It gives us chance to absorb the best information and play it though our game. I might go look for the release of the TS2 Prima Guide and see how far ahead it came for TS2.

[ChalyssaMuch]

thats a good idea..
it might help us figure out when ts3's will release..

[Cassie]

It says September 21st '04. When did TS2 come out in America now?

[ChalyssaMuch]

umm..
wow..
bad memory i'll look around and see if i can find the date

well i looked on google and got sept 17 2004..
that means the prima guide came after??
{no} that sucks

[Cassie]

Oh darn. That isn't good, it should have been relesed before, it makes more sense, more people would buy it that way.
May they'll realise that this time round?...

[ChalyssaMuch]

they should cause it sounds like quite a few would buy it right away

[Cassie]

Myself included. Maybe it only sounds appealing now because we want pictures and info, but in time, we'll already have those things and not want it quite so much then? I'm still undecided whether to purchase it or not.

[ChalyssaMuch]

well it would depend on exactly how detailed it was and how cool the pictures are and everything but chances are i would buy it to help me get the most out of the game when its released.

[Cassie]

Me too, plus it goes into more detail and sometimes has things even online sources do not have.

It also how tutorials of the day in the life of a Sim, which I used to adore reading. And the book has a whole 368 pages of Sim-goodness to cherish.

Well, I've always looked at the big colorful guides that were released but I do know that they came out with a prima pack that had at least six guides together. They were like a dictionary pack for the sims2 eps etc. I'm not sure they will be eelraing the guide before ts3 game comes out. I think they would make more money that way. But I think more gamers want to play, and then find out what is what.
