so, has the spore enthusiasm on this site months ago sustained itself till launch? anyone running out to buy it? (i'm not, but i don't play video games very much.) i know if wii's were available in january, we'd own one. but now? we're sooooo over it.
Argh! I meant to save myself $10 and pre-order... I can't wait to play it but I am super-busy with class this month. We'll see.
it is a digital download, so I will probably just grab it some lazy sunday morning.
and play whilst macking on some magnolia cupcakes (i love the aughts, here i come!)
ok, so i went and bought spore. fun, but pretty simplistic gameplay so far... then again, i'm still in the creature stage.
I read on a forum that the first few phases didn't feel like they had a lot of content put in to them and that it was sort of like a videogaming tutorial to prep people for the space stage. That said it also enthralled one guy's non videogaming mother for hours. Bare in mind this is on the warhammer beta off-topic forums so they probably are leaned toward the hardcore end of the spectrum.
Would have liked to watch the making of on Discovery the other night though.
slippage, it seems like that is the plan... the early stages appeal to casual gamers, while the later stages appeal to hardcore gamers. it seems like a good balance. if you are a hardcore gamer, you can rip through the early stages in a couple hours, from what i've read. after getting to the space stage once, you can start there without having to go through the other stages. i'm more the casual gamer (haven't been a hardcore rpg'er since high school), so i'm enjoying it so far.
I have seen a lot of criticism of the DRM. How was your experience with that so far?
they are complaining that they have to type in an activation code, and they can only activate spore 3 times. i dunno... it doesn't seem horrible to me, but i am not familiar with the current industry standard. i'm used to the DOS version of SimCity with the red sheet of codes.
