Spore is coming out soon! =D

[the bitter end.]

Spore, the full version is almost out! Who else is excited? I'm going to try to buy it the first day it comes out.

anyways, I can't wait to see if anyone else here is buying it, I would also love to see other peoples creature designs.

 

[Bianca Paragon]

I've been playing it for two days now. Almost at the end of the civilization stage! :D

 

[txteclipse]

It's going to pwn. I can't wait until it hits the shelves.

 

[Master Jecht]

I cant wait to get it and make my mudkip creature and take over the universe with it.

 

[Mechanic]

Might get it, dunno, some friends of mine are playing it tho 0.o

 

[kohei]

My living machines of death made in Creator are more than ready to kick ass!
Can't wait for it to hit shelves.

 

[the bitter end.]

Oh I would love to see pictures... the Spore site is down, I wonder why...

 

[41victory]

Man spore is gonna rock so hard! I cant wait to get it!

 

[Greetings]

It sounds good since it's the same maker of all Sims console games.
But still, can't wait.

 

[the bitter end.]

Yeah I knew that, and I know the game is going to be awesome =D

 

[El Gofre]

Be quiet.
The day my PC is sent off to be destroyed due to an unclearable virus, you bring up the S word
I've followed this game's progress for literally years and now I have no way to play in the weeks prior to its release.
I hate you all :P

I am excited. I am buying it for Mac and maybe PC and ipod touch. I hope it is a ghybrid disc so I have to buy only one.

 

[Neko]

Spore? I thought it was already out like, a month or so ago for the computer. o__O My friend got it for her computer; it's pretty cool. I like how you can upload videos of your Spore creatures onto YouTube right from the game itself. :3

I mean the full version, not the Creature Creator, I realize it's already out for some of you, but not here (I don't think it is anyways)

 

[stoneagechiefjp]

Not super interested. Sry. But I don't know much about it.

 

[SpartanPatriot]

I just bought it today for my mac. Wanted it for PC so i will check to see if it will work for both of my computers. iPod touch version not out yet.... :(

 

[Parabolic]

Got it two days ago, got two races to Space stage, and I'm having fun cruising around the universe terraforming and setting up intergalactic relations with other empires. :)

You can see my creations under the name of "Kalonis" in the online Sporepedia. I'm meaning to change my username if I can. I set it up when I had the Creature Creator and was trying to find a good username. >.>;

 

[Shadowfaith]

Well I was going to buy it but then I read some reviews and asked some friends and they weren't very impressed with it. For one I've been hearing about the security problem people have been having with it and two that it is just to easy to get to the space stage. Though I'm going to buy it anyway and see formyself because I don't trust anyone with reviews these days XD

 

[ThunderThylacine]

I'm looking forward to it, but I'm not sure if it will be my thing.
I LOVE The Sims, but I find games like Sim City and Civilizations about as fun as a poke in the eye with a blunt stick. However, reading up on spore I am quite excited about it. I think I'll definately have a go. Not sure what system to get it on though. I'd prefer DS because it can go anywhere, but I think the PC version would be more in-depth. Anyone want to confirm this?

 

[Parabolic]

It's only "easy" to get to the space stage if you are on Easy difficulty. Normal is a completely new ballpark, in my opinion. I haven't tried Hard yet, but I am going to once I get my rank up to Onicient on my current game... I'm at Admiral right now... gonna be a while. >.>;

Also, to answer ThunderThylacine's concern, the only part of the game that really plays like Civilization is the stage of the same name and SIm City aspects are very few and not all that big of a deal in space stage.

Here's a run-down... Cell plays like a single player adventure where you swim around, eat, fend off predators, and evolve. Creature plays like an MMO style single player RPG where your creature parts give you stats and you can either befriend a different species and add them to your pack or hunt them down and have them for dinner. Tribal stage is like a simple RTS kind of like Warcraft where you either ally with or fight other tribes. Civilization stage plays almost exactly like the Civilization games. You start a nation and you ally with other nations or go to war with them. The ultimate goal of that stage is to attain total global dominance through whatever means you choose. Finally, space stage is an accumulation of all you have done so far. You can expand your empire by setting up colonies and terraforming planets and set up relations with other empires by, again, either allying and trading with, or going to war with them. You can also be an explorer and search the universe for artifacts and undiscovered systems. The ultimate goal of that path would obviously be finding Earth among the literally thousands of planets in the game.

I am currently exploring and setting up relations with other empires as I go along. I have set up some trade routes with the Shaell Empire and, once I get the money, I plan on buying one of their systems, which is an option if a trade route becomes successful enough. I've found I think around 500 star systems and I still have only found maybe a good 3% of the total universe in the game. It's staggeringly huge...
