So yeah, as most people would know, Spore's been out for about a week now. For those who have the game, or have the demo, let's see your creations! Creatures, buildings, vehicles, anything you'd like to show off, do so! Here's something I made in the Creature Creator demo thing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgz8NQc47K0I call it Crocoraptor. Took me about 20 minutes to make. I've got another called Krazen, but only a picture of it. It's a bit based on the Crocoraptor, but I guess you could call it an evolved form of it. Although, I'm more proud of Crocoraptor because I took longer to get the details right. Krazen was more of a rush job so I could get to the space stage quickly! I'm deciding to delete Krazen and play through the game with Crocoraptor and evolve him when I reach Tribal Stage. Krazen

I created this butt-ugly creature I called the Aureopteryx, though I only have the teeny tiny trial right now. I'll fix that eventually. xD

I really had my heart s et on getting this game but then I watched a video review and actually it seems like the ONLY good thing is the customization...
Hm.

I think the game's great. You don't just let one review cloud your judgement. If you wanted the game in the first place, well "try" it first. If you like it, go ahead and buy it. If not, well, that's how it is. I'm borrowing my friend's right now, and I already ordered my own copy online so I could get online content and stuff from the internet.
Watch the IGN review.

My big issue is Vista, and the copyright protections... However, I have the full Creature Creator. Look up EffSeeFour and you'll find my work.

Yeah, the DRM thing really sucks. Stupid EA. However, I don't really care, since I'm gonna use the game on two computers anyway... And if that time comes, I'll find a way to remove the copy protection.
It's pretty sad. Copy protection doesn't prevent privacy, it encourages it. When will they realize that? Spore's heavily pirated right now.
Neat creations though, FC4. They're great.

Yeah, Pirates have already broken the DRM protection, so now the only one's being put off from getting the game are legit customers.
And yeah, the game's great, screw what other people say. Hell, I bet a good deal of the people against it are either against EA or the DRM thing. Maybe there's even a guy who hates it for being good.

Over 2000 reviews, and a 1.5 star average review rating! Most of the complaints are about DRM, just like you say! Assholes. If you're going to complain about the game, then complain about the game. Not its copy protection.

Yeah... I'd play it, except my computer's a 9-year old piece of junk that can only really use the internet or play like... everything on the lowest settings possible. That, and I don't have much time for anything at all!

Well, just have to say, Spore is awesome. Earlier, when trying a spit and run tactic, I tried to kill an Epic Big Daddy. Bout 200 of his hp in, my guy starts starving to death, so I run to the first living thing I can find, which happens to be a herd of chairs. Now, trying to fight of a swarm of chairs, eat their carcasses (very high in fiber), and avoid the epic Big Daddy all at the same time makes this game awesome beyond words.
And now, a bit later, I'm trying to get a civilization of Mario Mushrooms to space age, just to have them as allies. God, I love it.

I don't get how the interaction things work... can you like, temporarily control other species to upgrade them, or something?

Post by Vrek on Sept 18, 2008 3:25:14 GMT
No, there are a few upgrades and items late game that let you affect other species. For example, to make my red mushroom friends go up an age, I would go to their planet, and place an item called the Monolith. Other things will let me actually affect their appearance, evolving them how I want, and another lets me create an entirely new species, subservant to me.
Things like that is how it works.

Hey Vrek, what's your Spore screen name? I was just wondering. Wanna check out your creatures.
