I really loved B&W 2, but B&W 1 had a better creature learning I reckon. more fun I thought.

Spore really was/is a let down. It was fun for a while for me till I hit space. It seemed so... boring and repetitive. no way I'm buyin that expansion shit.

My thoughts exactly. As mentioned earlier in this thread, I will be obtaining it, but no way in hell am I gonna pay for it, considering I've already spent $12 on the CC and $80 on the "finished" game.

Is spore the bees knees or is it just hype?

I think you'll find from all of the responses in this thread since the game came out - it's hyped up crap. my own opinion matches this

I had the chance to play this over the weekend thanks to a friend who has been keen on it since its announcement (and had a spare planet for me to tinker with).

First level - amazing. The colours, the graphics, the whole feel of it was excellent. Boiled down, there's not much to the gameplay, but it's fun.

Then i grew legs and went onto land... pretty much everything i thought was cool about the first level... disappeared... after 30 mins im asking 'what's the point? just rinse and repeat until got all the DNA?'.

If there's more to it than that, i apologise. If not... well... wow!

I know the bashing on this is getting a little old, but I still found this one funny at least...

Anybody actually bothered going to spore.com lately? The website is fucking terrible, but the default redirect to select a country before you go to the frontpage is amusing...

Admission of guilt?

Tribe stage is even more stupid with the 1.01 patch.

Within 10 minutes i get rushed by 2 other tribes and get stuck in a death loop, cant even progress, what a stupid stage!

What about the consoles, do you think they'll be better? But I guess that's what you get when you trust EA to deliver...

My 9 year old sister finished tribal stage in 1.01.. try something different perhaps.

LOL. I think if Spore is in any way giving him trouble maybe gaming as a whole is not the thing to try...

Perhaps knitting?

( Seriously though dude, rush as in obviously-coordinated/broken, before anything can be done? Would be hilariously funny if they've managed to make the shitpile even worse with a patch, in any minor way... )

I just hate the gameplay mechanics of the later stages so i decided to go through the game again with the 1.01 patch.

Turns out it really fixed and balanced NOTHING.

I really hope this game rots.

I'm having sads over this game right now.

Why didn't they make it good? I don't understand.

So much time and money invested, so many cool ideas and such a solid foundation for what could have been a fucking awesome game. They had the team, the experience, the know how and the leadership...

I WANT ANSWERS. WHAT THE FUCK WENT WRONG!

$3@N · 9th October 2008, 11:23 AM

EA gut greedy cut corners and rushed the game.

The creative side of spore was pretty much flawless but everything else was a disappointment.

I suspect it's more a case of EA going - who is our largest customer and do they have brains... as well as what's a great target demographic to ensure sales?

they cam up with the answer - no and 10yo

and thus spore was neutered into a catoony abortion
