K... Just a part expansion pack? Maybe Spore wars online would be a better Pack.

Not buying it. After I decided that spore was a failiure, especially compared to the 05 and 06 demos, I stopped playing. And if they could release this so soon after release, they should have included it in the game to begin with. Besides, the demo was 10 bucks and had all the parts, while this has 60 and is 20. Just another device by EA to suck as much money out of a game as possible.

Spore looked so amazing during the previous years it was displayed, but in the end, it turned out to be quite simple and most of the allure was from the creators. At least, that's the general consensus. And we all know about that awful copyright protection fiasco. I admit, the fact that there are something like ten editors does make it quite attractive, and I will probably get it eventually, but...well, I am kinda disappointed.

I guess we would be more happy if those 05 and 06 demos never sowed up and we didn't hype Spore to hell, but its just frustrating that they actually took things out. Things which would have made the game so much more fun.

I don't remember exactly what they took out, but I do remember being disappointed when I heard about them...what were they?

I don't remember exactly what they took out, but I do remember being disappointed when I heard about them...what were they? They basically scrapped everything and anything having to do with science to make it more appealing to the masses, scrapped procedural generation and animation, which were huge. They turned the creature phase into a dumbed-down WoW, with all the nests, and no roaming creatures other than yourself, epics, and rouges. The super-simplified tribe, and space, well, just sucks.

Ahh, now I remember. Yeah, those were actually some of the main things that attracted me. Quite disappointed, I was...

Well, maybe a mod will come around. Who knows. However, pocedural anything would be rediculously hard to do, and modding spore is near-impossible as the files are very difficult to find and work with.

Yes, but wouldn't you prefer that placement of things effecting effectiveness, longer legs means more speed, as apposed to faster feet, which make no sense, and procedural animation to go along with it, reflecting how you built your creature as apposed to predetermined stats?

You can't justify any flaws in a game by saying, "It's a game. So what?"
