Close teh Spore Forum

[EPW]

'Tis clearly a failure of a game.

[Donegeal]

No.

[EPW]

Teh lack of responses only proves my point.

[Adagio]

This forum will never close... NEVER I tell you! After the 34th expansion pack this game might be something for you

[EternalSpark]

Games that sell a million copies in a month aren't a failure.

That said, I think it should stay around. It's a good game, even if people here expected it to be deeper than it was. (Why, I'll never know).

It sounds like you are familiar with W. Wright's modus operandi.

I was in Target the other day and was just amazed at how many Sims add-ons there were on the shelf. $30 a crack- who buys this stuff???

[Adagio]

Except Will Wright probably doesn't have anything to do with the expansion packs, that's the bloodsuckers called EA who orders Maxis to make 1000+ expansion packs


But I'm still waiting for the expansion packs "Sims gone wild, XXX edition" and "Sims ghetto"

[Brutus66]

You may well be right, but it seems that Wright's titles are the most notorious. Maybe it's just because games like the Sims are particularly adaptable to this kind of marketing (I have always thought of that game as a computer doll house- the accessories you can add to it are nearly endless).

Regardless, I think I am done with EA titles henceforth.

I actually played Spore last night- I think the first two phases are fun. The creature phase gives me an outlet for my creativity which I really enjoy, but I don't want to play into the tribes phase and beyond- boring.

The space phase seemed so promising, but the constant nags about having to defend planets from attackers, diseased animals needing culled, etc. put a quick end to that. The only thing I can compare it to is when Windows Automatic Updater starts reminding me every ten minutes "updating your computer is almost complete" and wants to restart my system. Oh yeah, that's entertainment.

Aren't there any independent mods out there (I've never played Sims)?

Meanwhile, you can entertain yourself by building Spore creatures with massive male organs

Probably, never looked

But I want hot lesbian parties in my sim game, not giant male organs

Supposedly, there's an asymmetry mod floating about:

but I'm not risking it.

I voted no. Although I find the game a bit boring it doesn't mean that other people need to have the same idea.

Furthermore I applaude the originality of the game and am kinda hoping that there will be an expansion or upgrade that will make it more fun.

I am sure the developers have much more ideas but at a certain moment a game needs to be sold even if not completely finished (IMO).

[EPW]

The votes are in, why is teh forum still open?

[Dale]

Probably because you can't spell.

It's THE!

Because this is not a democracy
