Really? I'm considering buying it,
but was put off by the whole DRM & dumbed-down gameplay thing
( Evilscary off lurking for a bit, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 12:47, archived)

Yes, it's a bit simplified, but the way it all knits together is great!
Really worth getting

As was I,
but whats this about DRM?
(the_riviera_kid , anyone fancy making me a brew?, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 12:52, archived)

Digital protection so you can only install the game 3 times

( Evilscary off lurking for a bit, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 12:55, archived)

What in hell?

( Ttssattsr DOMEDAG, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 12:58, archived)

after three times, you contact EA to request another installation
given the negative feedback to this particular issue, don't be suprised if a patch is released to sort this out

FUCK THAT
I was thinking of buying it, I'll torrent it now
( Finite appears to be falling apart, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 13:01, archived)

What a laughable idea.

I looked on Amazon
but could only see a version of spore for Vista rather than XP? Am I missing something?
( Finite appears to be falling apart, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 12:59, archived)

It's running fine on my ancient, coal fired XP
if that's any help

Hahaha!

'Still Blood Lizards'?

( my other username is a porsche , posting shit pictures so you don't have to, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 12:48, archived)

You didn't bargain on me being geeky enough to go and check

( my other username is a porsche , posting shit pictures so you don't have to, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 12:54, archived)

i did
just thought i'd have time to check first (book was sitting at the top of my bag right next to me)
(cs192 how appropriate, your mother fights like a cow, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 13:01, archived)

I've got the 3 of them sitting in my bedroom,
fantastic books.
( my other username is a porsche , posting shit pictures so you don't have to, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 13:09, archived)

i'm re-reading them
on II at the moment, but read most of it on the train back from London yest, which stopped for about 20 minutes in milton keynes, so my brain isn't working properly

the fiction in the first one is better than in the second, seems like they're trying to merge the fantasy and the science in order to aid people who missed the back story

After the Librarian's help, I know
It's also used in Spore, but I thought it was too good a joke to pass on.
please forgive me
( Panjandrum is erasmussing like mad, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 12:49, archived)

nothing to forgive

( epiphany probably stab stab stab :D, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 12:48, archived)

It has NO FLOW to it whatsoever.
3rd person creature running around killing stuff and evolving, then BLAM, top down strategy gaming with no evolving for the next zillion years.

Fun enough though.
( Ttssattsr DOMEDAG, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 12:48, archived)

That's what I thought,
it feels like the space bit is the real game and rest are just little add ons to lead up to it.
They are all fun though.

Seems like a few mini-games bundled together with a vague connecting story.
And the civ stage was hilarious. I just made a tonne of fighters so the intercom was a non-stop stream of "HAQUOODAH, OKII" over and over.
( Ttssattsr DOMEDAG, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 12:53, archived)

oh, TOP STUFF!
... I had a choice - get the STALKER SoC prequel, or get spore... I picked STALKER. wadda-mistaka-to-make-a.

bugged to hell, pointless changes to the way the inventory works and a load of other crap.
( theoriginalsteve back off, man, I'm a Scientist, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 12:48, archived)

I went with both. It looks so nice. And it was great until my PC crashed :)
On recommendation of Shada, I'm going to wait until it's patched properly and just play through the original again.
( Ttssattsr DOMEDAG, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 12:51, archived)

Exactly what I'm doing... waiting for the patch.
Bloody beta release... Why the FUCK can I not see the stamina meter unless I go into the inventory?
( theoriginalsteve back off, man, I'm a Scientist, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 12:54, archived)

That's bin dun i'm afraid
but no where near as good as that.



not mine of course, not sure who done it

Personally I prefer this version.

The way he falls over is comedy genius !

:D
That's so much better than mine.
But I can't complain, as that's just ace
