Spore - The actual game

(1/19) > >>

Statik:
Preface - sorry for starting (another) new thread, but it didn't really seem appropriate to necro the previous thread on the creature creator.

Aussies broke the street date on spore, and about 48 hrs later, it was cracked and on many many torrent sites.

First thoughts: Ill be buying it.  The potential for custom player content is too tempting, and too awesome to ignore.

Second thoughts:  My brother and I both started playing, I made a carnivore, and he made a herbivore.  The initial stages go pretty quick, not many parts to play with, you unlock things by finding them/killing for them.  I had the ability to attack things with my jaws, whereas my brother found it advantageous to have multiple mouths (mouthes?).  Both of us had spikes and such for defense.  The first stage (at least as a carnivore) plays a lot like flOw.  Filling up your XP *ahem* DNA bar, you finally evolve enough to grow legs, and move on to land.

Neither me or my brother found it as immediately intuitive as SimCity/Sims, but it didn't take long to figure out how to move my little dude around, dance, sing, mate, etc.   


Other stuff:
One thing I found nice was that you can just go into creator mode from the main menu, where you have everything unlocked, and just create stuff.  Comparatively, in single player, you have to find or harvest parts in order to be able to use them on your creature.

Final thoughts:  If you have doubts on liking it or not, its around on the internets, check it out.  Also, if you like it, please buy the game.  Originality should be supported.

Surgoshan:
First thoughts: I'd like to buy it, but my computer can't handle it.

Second thoughts:  I'd like to buy it, but fuck EA.  I won't willingly put that DRM Shit on my PC.

Third thoughts:  Now I want to steal it because of that DRM shit.

Boro_Bandito:
Honestly, I have no problem waiting a couple of days for the game to come out to play it, I'm going to buy it either way. Also, what's up with the DRM thing? I mean, does it really cause harm to your computer?

Melodic:
SecuROM shows up as a rootkit, I think it is. It's a shitty piece of software, to be sure.

Surgoshan:
It's like buying a virus.
