lol whats your spore name

wow there's been a lot of chat since I went away! I'm updating the OP with names.
BTW have any patches been released yet?

God dammit, I've got one empire who's constantly demanding 5 million bucks to not attack me. I keep telling them to shove it up their arse but then I always have to repair our relationship. I want to stay friends with these guys because they sell me Planet Destroyers at reasonable prices, (not like my own tight-arsed empire.) I'm stocking up on the Planet Destroyers like a Cold War superpower but already my other allies seem to be concerned about me, I had to re-forge an allegience after one Emipre severed our allegience 'cause I was blowing up too many planets.

I tell you there's nothing quite as sweet as having one uppity empire declare war on you only for you to track down their home planet and blow it into glowing red space dust.

Danced with the devil did you Gunn?

Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw fully commits to his giving Spore a resounding "No", so much so that I thought my computer was caught in a rut or something.
Zero Puntuation reviews Spore

I'm sick of people comparing civ stage to civ.

They are seriously, nothing alike.

Other than that, great review.

I did think it was a decent review but I have no idea why he's holding up "The Sims" as a pinnicle of gaming. The Sims is like an interactive and more boring version of TV's "Big Brother" without the reality television aspect. While playing The Sims, (a short lived episode I assure you,) I suddenly thought "why the fuck am I living this little character's boring life when I could be out living my own boring life?" I mean c'mon, you work, buy furnuture, go to bad parties, you eat, shit and sleep, you have tastefully censored sex not as often as you'd like; how is this different from my own fucking life? Croshaw was holding up the human aspect and shuning Spore for being, well un-human but I'd rather live the life of a planet-destroying alien than boring old Joe Fuckstick from down the street.

But yeah, like I said it was a decent, honest and in most cases correct review aside from comparing "The Sims" favourably.

I agree, The Sims is total trash, its not even remotely fun and this is coming from someone who loves creative games which allow you to create things ie the houses in The Sims, probably the only slightly entertaining part of the game, imagining your dream house.

Spore is immeasurably more fun the sims and it certainly is a great game even though it could have been even better.

Also mutant your totally right, Carnivore is far harder than herbivore.

I've just got my copy in the mail yesterday (no Securom issues yet, and I can just crack the fucker when the install limit comes into play) and gotten through the cell stage. I was expecting something like fl0w, but it let me down. Of course, it's only a small aspect of the game, so I'll let it go.

Through the creature stage, I felt obligated to spend hours finding and chewing skeletons to upgrade my creature, and soon came to a point where I was unable to ally with other creatures, as they somehow have a trillion more DNA points than I do. Evolved my creature a second time, spending thirty minutes tweaking out (jeez, I'm still missing parts selection). Next thing I know, I can only ally with one race on the map (everyone else is notoriously difficult, even though I put points in as many possible social points as I could), chewable skeletons are scarce, and when I try to fly and land on big stumps or rocks, the creature doesn't set down. It just keeps flapping. The control's awkward and it's sometimes hard to turn, especially in the air.

When I updated my creature and spent awhile in pretty much the same land, I thought it autosaved. I thought I remember it telling me it did. I go to continue that game, and I'm back to square one, in the middle of the first stage creature area. All the work gone. Am I missing something? Do I really want to go back and redo it? The only thing that'd make it worth it is if I found out that I missed out on hundreds of DNA points (the unalliable creatures don't count; how the heck would you tame that area?).

Also, I've several creatures that I've built in the Editor demo (except none were as cute as the one I just built today), but I can't easily find where to activate them in-game.

Finally, I don't like feeling obligated to sacrifice a creature's style just because another similar object has better stat points. I can get used to it, but it took some effort to lose the pincer beak.

shame theres only 5 people playing it
