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.

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.

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

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 .

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 >_<.
