What, are you guys busy playing Spore not to make a Spore thread? Fuck
 
Yeah. Games out. At least here it is. a hefty $100NZD (PC games are usually about $50-$80NZD), too. people who have played it say that it's a little gimmicky, though ultimately fun, and that single player is not the whole experience.

ppl 2 discus

Getting today, don't worry! I missed the release somehow!! :(

Strike Witch 09-06-2008 02:37 AM

I'm going to be a bitch and download the Warez version.

I'll buy the Galactic thingy later when I have some cash, I just blew my last game purchase on Soul Calibur 4.

abe619 09-06-2008 04:10 AM

and i am gonna download through warez stuff too.

Havoc 09-06-2008 05:14 AM

Damn bastards at EA fucked up the preorder deliveries and now no single store around here has their preorder versions! Now the normal version is earlier available then the ones preordered months ago :P.

OANST 09-06-2008 11:59 AM

I really want it but I won't play games on the pc. It puts my body in pain.

Leto 09-06-2008 01:09 PM

I'm in a similar situation. not really a PC gamer at all, with few exceptions.

Still, will borrow it off of someone I know. Apparently with each purchased copy of Spore you get 3 installs before you can't spread the disc around anymore. Kind of weird I thought, even if to protect against pirates such as MOST OF YOU CUNTS

Havoc 09-06-2008 02:22 PM

Pff they did that with Bioshock and see how long that lasted :).

And in my defence, as a pirate, do you see prices these days? 80 EURO for 1 game! Hell no. Especialy since 90% of that crap is EA and non of their games are worth that kind of money.

Spore is, though. Spore is Maxis. Spore is Will Wright. So I am nice and buying :).

Strike Witch 09-06-2008 02:36 PM

I'll buy it later...

Besides, Leto, everybody knows you don't actually play games, you just hold the CD in your hands and suck all the potential fun out of it with a straw.

abe619 09-06-2008 03:51 PM

maxis is part from ea , and i will download this game and others to because 1 the prices are high , 2 it would be hard to get them.

Leto 09-06-2008 08:39 PM

games are indeed extremely expensive. I only buy them if I really like them.

except DS games. I pretty much just pirate them all.

Laser 09-07-2008 12:07 AM

I have it!

'Tis really good!

Its also a tad childish and easy, but then again i haven't got to the space stage yet :(

Munch's Master 09-07-2008 03:57 AM

I bought it yesterday. Only used the creators so far but it's such fun to use them. Made this thing that walks on an omivore mouth, has mouths on 2 knees that merge into 1 bulging sac-like leg, and has all manner of other hideous evolutionary deformities. It can jump surpprsingly well, considering its shape.
Deciding on its colour scheme is the tricky part now, purple-based, purple-and-multicoloured, or Posion-arrow-Frog style speckled blue or black & yellow.....

I also tried to make an Elum, and it's a lot harder than it looks to do. No real Elum-esque herbivore mouths for one thing.

metroixer 09-07-2008 04:39 AM

Gonna try to get it today. Shouldn't have been around the gamefaqs boards though while waiting. To much negativity about the game there....

Nate 09-07-2008 04:57 AM

Is this officially the most buzz any single game has had in history? I can think of people who hate every single style of gameplay reflected in Spore who are still going to buy it.

Also, I'm going to go buy it tomorrow.

Munch's Master 09-07-2008 05:36 AM

Um, daft question but, in the Creature Creator (the one for fully evovled creatures) where the HELL are the wings? I can't find any wings anywhere.

Laser 09-07-2008 05:38 AM

I think you have to find them.

I've also found no wings :(

GlacierDragon 09-07-2008 06:24 AM

I managed to get the game and I think it's good, though a bit cartoony. I didn't realise it takes creatures you've made earlyer and puts them as enemies, so when I got attacked by a herd of carnivorous Meeps it really surprised me.

Munch's Master 09-07-2008 06:32 AM

If you give a Meep a herbivore mouth they won't attack. Also, thanks for the wing tip, Laser. I assume there's plenty more unlockable parts too, then.

I'm about to try Meep making as well. I've also downloaded Conceit's Paramite (which is tremendous, if a little off-colour) and 1%er, which I'm recolouring and renaming as he listed it as Skillya. However, Im keeping my edits of his work confined to my game, I don't want to upload his work under my name as it feels like theft.

ARRRRRRRGH

Bullet Magnet 09-07-2008 10:24 AM

I'm not getting it for aaaaaages. I can't afford a new computer.

Strike Witch 09-08-2008 03:45 AM

...Okay, warez versions apparently are unusable online.

Fuck that, I'm waiting for money to buy it.

Bullet Magnet 09-08-2008 04:09 PM

Good news. I have it on good authority that someone discovered my (poorly made) scrabs in the Spore game, reporting that they were too hostile for their own good and had to be wiped out from afar using spit.

Man is Spore addicting. I'm starting the Civilization Phase right now, after building them a city hall the first thing they asked for was a tank XD. My creatures are true savages. They kill absolutely everything in sight first chance they get. In the 'Path Chosen' screen I'm at the very bottom!

Go me :D

Nate 09-10-2008 02:59 AM

I bought it today but haven't gotten around to installing it yet. As a bonus, I traded in Animal Crossing so that game no longer steal my soul.

Hobo 09-10-2008 02:27 PM

I played it for like 10 minutes. 10 MINUTES OF AWESOME

metroixer 09-10-2008 05:53 PM

I got it yesterday, played for like, two hours straight today.

Got to the beginning of civ. It's interesting so far, although my buildings look like crap. I'm not an architect by any means. Cars look kick-ass though.

I've also been trying to see in the middle. I WANT to be evil but I heard if you go overboard by space stage EVERY planet is going to be against you. And I don't want that >_<.

Bullet Magnet 09-10-2008 06:36 PM

This thread has been magicked. Now Bee Quiet and Bee Have.


Strike Witch 09-10-2008 11:09 PM

So here's a Sporecast.
