Spore

[SkylerOcon]

Hahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahaha

REALLY?

Srsly.

And, I do have a copy of the original Super Star. Pretty awesome, but I'm a Kirby fanboy

Spoiler

*gets shot*

so I really want both.

Oh crap, my laptop charger broke! And Spore comes out tommorrow!

We ordered a new one on Monday, hopefully it should be here by today.

Please be here by today, I can't believe I have to use the school computer to write this.

 

[Witchking_of_Angmar]

Wow, one of the few times I'm actually glad I moved back to Germany. Spore's installing right now, can't wait to play it.

 

[Sporkman]

Can we take Mic's silence as "yes, it's good"?

 

[Mic_128]

Oh yes, it's good. :D

The pre-space stages felt a bit short, but that's probably because I'm playing through on easy first. Just at the space stage, looks **** promising.

Wish there was some way to show off the history of a species, love how my guy evolved from microbe to 'man'

IGN Australia: 9.2
IGN America: 8.8

And why the FUUCK would they get a man who HATES building things to review Spore -.- Dumb.

 

[Pluvia's other account]

It's out in Germany?

According to the adverts here, and from what I know, it's out tomorrow.

 

[Witchking_of_Angmar]

I thought it would be out on Sunday as well (which would be dumb cuz stores aren't open on Sundays), but some Gamestop guy notified me that the game I'd preordered was ready for me to pick up on Thursday, so w/e. I'm not complaining!

**** I love this game. Creatures phase is the shizzle, haven't gotten to space yet. **** school.

 

[Pluvia's other account]

It just finished installing! That didn't take as long as I was expecting it too.

I can't believe I finally have this game!

 

[Witchking_of_Angmar]

At this point I'd like to tell everyone to SAVE THE GAME OFTEN! It's already crashed twice for me, with about 4 hours of progress lost total.

T_T

 

[Pluvia's other account]

Oh wait it appears to be too good to be true. It wont open on my computer, if it tells you to install the latest ea download manager, click no.

 

[M.K]

Wait, you can go pick it up now O_o

I got to go get it!

 

[Pluvia's other account]

Ooph, I got it working yesterday, I just forgot to come back here cause I was too busy playing it.

Anyway, incase anyone was wondering, you get to choose and name your own planet. Oh and you can get visited by spaceships in creature and tribal stage. Also there's so much editors:

Early Game Creature Editor
Creature Editor
Tribal Creature Editor
Civilisation Creature Editor
Space Creature Editor

Those 4 different types of building editors, and the 9 different types of vehicle editors, and spaceship editor. Also there's a music one but you only get to do that in Civ mode from what I've seen. Cell Stage, Creature Stage and Space Stage are the best parts really, Tribal and Civ stages are just like simple RTS's. They're still hard though, I'm doing it on normal and I died 4 times in Cell Stage and 3 times in Civ Stage.

Also Epic Creatures are insane, I've only seen 3 so far. 1 in tribal stage, and 2 in civ. Destroyed 8 of my tanks before it died. Oh and what you do in earlier stages effects your next stage. Seeing as though the only button I seemed to be able to press in tribe stage was kill,kill,kill, I became a military power in civ stage.

 

[Zook]

Wait, you mean it's available in the US?

Like, right now?

 

[Crimson King]

Gamestops normally release their pre-orders early. If you are friends with someone there, you can get it. I pre-loaded mine from EA.com, so I have like 20ish hours left...

 

[M.K]

I just got the "pre-order" phonecall saying it will be out tomorrow for all pre-orders.

Woohoo!

 

[Banjodorf]

I didn't pre-order

Hopefully I'll still be able to pick it up tomorrow when Gamestop opens.

 

[Pluvia's other account]

Also just to mention, it's really clear that this game is getting expansion packs.

And as a rating, out of 100 I'd give it about 85-90%.

 

[Banjodorf]

Blarg. The gamestop near me didn't do a midnight release, so I'll just have to run to target tomorrow and grab it.

Oh well, at least it's out now!

Wooooooo

 

[SkylerOcon]

I have a pre-order (managed to scrounge up enough cash for this AND Kirby) so, I'm getting to GameStop thirty minutes before it opens, in case of a line.

 

[Mic_128]

Also Epic Creatures are insane, I've only seen 3 so far. 1 in tribal stage, and 2 in civ. Destroyed 8 of my tanks before it died. Oh and what you do in earlier stages effects your next stage.

I ran into one on my main planet during the space stage. Jerk killed my spaceship.

 

[Witchking_of_Angmar]

Epic creatures are indeed nuts, I've met two in creature and two in tribal so far, haven't made it to civ yet.

 

[Deleted member]

I might be picking this game up at Best Buy today.

FINALLY, I get my hands on it!

 

[Crimson King]

3 hours until the Pre-loaders get it. I expect to miss none of you today. I'm really looking forward to this game.

 

[Ørion]

Installing on my computer

 

[Deleted member]

I've already had my first migration.

So far, so awesome!

 

[Crimson King]

I am moving my desktop and restarting. My laptop can't handle it at top quality (I have a Laptop Geforce card), but I am really pleased.

The cell stage was actually a lot better than I thought it'd be, and the creature stage is a lot more fun than I would have imagined. So far, very pleased. How do we create a buddy list?

 

[SkylerOcon]

Alright. So I just got done playing up to the tribal stage (just started that). Pretty good game so far. It's exceeded my high expectations, which is rare for any game.

Controls are good, it's only funny when it tries to be, and it's just a fun game overall.

And yeah. How do we create a buddy list?

Go there, find who you're looking for, view their profile, and then click that little + symbol beside their name. I'm not sure if you can create a buddy list during the game, I haven't tried yet.

 

[Crimson King]

Awesome! I'm adding everyone who posts their Spore name.

 

[Deleted member]

Problem is, I can't log on without my mom's password, which is real bummer.

At least I'm up to the Tribal Phase! :D

[SkylerOcon]

Spore name is SkylerOcon. I'm so original!

And what editor do you guys like the most? I like the building editor, myself.

 

[Ørion]

Mine is Ørion (the Ø is Alt+0216).

 

[Crimson King]

EricJ1186 for me.

 

[SkylerOcon]

Added everybody whose posted there name so far.

 

[M.K]

The Tribal Phase is so hard! D: Did you guys use the Flaming Spears? I shouldn't have picked those without reading the description....I just assumed they were better!

D: I didn't save, so I'm back to the start....of Tribal Phase...

 

[Crimson King]

HOW DO YOU KILL EPICS?!?!?!

I came close, until landed. I think I got it down to around 700.

 

[Deleted member]

LOL, there's an epic on the path to the Cyan Village. Or at least, there was. No, I didn't kill it. I just decided to attack the Pink Village too early, I got massacred, and I had to start over from before I made an alliance with the Brown Village. I tried spawning a newborn, but a scavenger came by right after I pressed the button. T-T

EDIT: 1m 1337

 

[M.K]

I killed the Pink Village.
Exterminated the Green Village.
Befriended the Cyan Village.
Destroyed the Lavender Village.
And then got OBLITERATED by the Orange Village.....how do you unlock throwing spears?
What is a good strategy for defeating the tribes?
