    Default For all who are disappointed in spore...

    First of all let me start off saying that if someone calls me internet white knight again, I shove my foot so far up their ass their internal organs will squeezing out of their throat.

    If you were disappointed by Maxis's release Spore, than it's most likely your own fault. Was Spore the best game ever made? No. Was Spore the worst game ever made? No. Was it over hyped? Yes. The point is the fact when you put sooooo much hype upon a game, it's almost impossible for it to live up to the standards it's given. Very few games are able to that and most of them are sequels, and ONLY IF their prequels have a large enough fan base. For example, COD4 was a great game. It could have been destroyed if it was over hyped. But, no hype was there. However once the game was released it was greatly successful because people expected less and got more. While with Spore it was quite the opposite. People expected more and got less. Because everyone was expecting so much, it was hard to enjoy many of the things that the game had to offer, because we wanted more.

    My point is that Spore is a great game, that can kill days on end of your time, with it's many easter eggs and features. But, it can only do that if you let go of all your damn expectations and just play the game. My way of keeping the hype of me, is playing current release games and not wasting time waiting for new ones to come out.

    I hope this will help you enjoy spore even atleast a tiny bit more.

    And now let the flamming begin!

    It's the general idea. Plus whenever an mmo is over hyped developers just say, were still adding in some of the features. (AoC Refferenece)

    I think the only game that actually IS living up to its hype, people do tend to over hype and that does ruin a game, that why people said Armored Core 4 sucked, but the game was awesome, and spore. Same thing, people wanted all this crap, but the game is amazing even without it, it changes the game style from a third person ff style combat, to RTS and then you can even build/destroy planets!
    I give spore a 10/10

    That's kind of true, people who didn't hype this game too much are probably having a good time enjoying Spore's awesomeness (seriously, it's kind of good) ^^ !


    -How people who hyped too much think : Heyyy I tought we could customise more in tribal stage and that the space stage would be more like a sandbox but you actually have to unlock stuff ... blah blah blah tons of complaining

    -People who didn't hype : Hey nice, those stages are finely designed, it's rare for me to see a game with so much customisation, even the building and vehicles can be customised in the civilisation stage and the space stage is amazing, you can do lot of stuff like terraforming !


    Also, man stop saying the game is short, creating a nice creature or building could easily take 2 hours and the space stage is f****** long, especially if you take some of your time to trade for fun and to terraform for a while...

    Also you can do the game at hard with 3 different kind of species...

    If you actually TRY to make something cool instead of the basic half-assed monsters in the game

    I wasn't hyping the game at all, and still thought that it was terrible after the creature stage.

    You don't have to hype it yourself, the entire internet already did it for you. If you browse the internet for anything related to games at all you've probably come across something to do with spore being the next amazing thing considering it's been hyped for 3 years.

    I was slightly disappointed aobut spore... The first stages up to creature stage were fine, being in a 3rd person perspective, with a large world to explore, beating up other creatures and eating them... However I was expecting it to be on a grander scale in the tribal and civilisation stages. Those went by way too fast with little more to do than attacking/hugging 3-4 towns or cities. Then the space stage... the way you have to pick up your spices from each colony separately every few minutes, because they produce it so damn fast... And the way that your planets have a disaster or attacking pirates every time you decide to move even slightly away from them... And the endless amount of colonies you can make which will not be of any use unless you go and pick up the produced spices yourself... kinda annoyed me... And compared to all the other stages, the space stage is unproportionally long and on a grand scale... It also kinda pissed me off that I had to go through the tutorial part of space stage every time I made a new race of creatures. Still, I enjoyed it for a while.

    The game sucks. Stop being such a fanboy and you'll release that.



    I'll copy millions of people when I say this: Any game you can beat in under a day needs to go back into development, because they obviously did something wrong.

    @blur: If that is all you have to say than you sir: Fail! EDIT: Same goes for Sentry.

    @mrwaffelz: BUT ITS A SANDBOX GAME!!!!!!!!! Did you not read the game description!? It's not supposed to be long, it's a sand box! Of course if you rush trough Mass Effect's main story you can beat it in like 10 hours. If thats what your going to do with spore than no wander your gonna beat it quickly. Repeat with me: Spore = Sandbox. Now you do it... lol, j/k but I hope you get the point.

    PS I'm not a fan boy, since I hated all of Maxi's previous releases AKA The Sims series.

    I'll release that the game sucks?

    And I'm sorry, did you just say that you can beat spore in one day?
    Did you even play the game before you mindlessly bashed it?

    Space age takes MANY days to beat. I've logged probably 15 hours into space age alone and I'm no where NEAR the middle of the galaxy. If you tell me you beat space age and all the other ages in one day then you're obviously lying.
