An Australian user of the Facepunch Studios Forums managed to snag a copy of Spore almost a week before the US gets it.
From Xfire: "Anyone who's played video games for a couple of years has stuck around long enough to stumble across a few weird ones. Some are even quite popular, which is all the more reason why you'll wonder what made the developers think about making such a game and why people are loving it, despite its weirdness anyway. Not all weird video games are head-scratches. Some are actually quite good."
The stick of truth is a must have for any South Park fans. I spent a good afternoon on Goat simulator, a rare real open world. I planned to try hatoful boyfriend since it was free on Ps Plus. Disco Elysium is on my radar since the final cut came out; as soon as there is a discount, i will take it. Like movies, i like weird games too :)
From Xfire: "The four-hour director's cut known as Zack Snyder's Justice League has led to the discussion of movies in the past that might have fared a whole lot better had they been released to be more in line with the original vision of their creators. But, as it turns out, cut content doesn't just happen in movies. In fact, the act of cutting content before the release date happens arguably just as often in video games as it does in cinema."
I can't believe they cut stuff from Skyrim. At release, it was a barebones game with a slight improvement in graphics.
"Now, before we proceed, we'd like to say that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is one of the best video games ever made. It's not just a fine piece of gaming. It's one of the finest there is"
Really?
MGSV is easily the worst main line MGS game and not just because of cut story content, the open world is bare bones and there's hardly anything to do. It's repetitive, samey and is just lifeless. I appreciate the stealth mechanics, the animations and the way you can go with combat but it's not enough to keep me engaged the full way through.
Kojima should have done a twist and make the main chunk of the game a Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2 remake to bring the story full circle.
Story issues aside, V has amazing gameplay. I'm not sure what you're wanting out of the world in terms of "things to do", it's all the great gameplay the series has always had. Useless filler that other open worlds have like collecting flags and petting horses would have added nothing to that game.
THE TRUTH! I don't even know how that game gets praised. The previous ones were so much better.
While we have witnessed a lot of remakes, remasters and even sequels to games a decade old. There are still some gems that are close to my heart that are lost to me. Here are some classic games that I'd love to either see remakes or remasters of, or even a sequel on new hardware.
Those dudes pics of himself with Spore is funny.
Those are the worlds first pics of someone with spore and he's having his way with it...lol
lol yeah its like he wants with the game box with tongue sticking out and all. but damn am I jealous... the game seems interesting. just hope it doesnt disapoint.. but its EA.. so I dont have high expectations.
The middle finger one and the box licking one was incredibly uncessary.
I thought that one of the big things about Spore was that it would automatically download content in the background. So when you play the RTS portion, you would be playing against creations put together by another player.
I would assume the servers are not exactly packed with user generated content yet (the Creature Creator stuff was only a small part of the overall stuff a user can generate). Plus it would be rather easy for EA to detect who is trying to connect to their servers before the launch date.
So, lucky him for getting an early copy. But I'd prefer to wait a few days and get the full experience.
On the subject of pirating this game. I don't see much point. I'm guessing that because the Creature Creator required an EA account, the full game will too. Should make detecting ripped copies a bit easier (dupe keys etc). And what's the point of playing Spore offline only if you can't access the servers for all that user generated cool stuff?
