Many more are to come.
The most fucked up thing is that Spore was obviously so easy to hack that this will make people pirate the game rather than buy it. lol epic fail on EA.

My spore still works, but do I play it? No.

If you bought Spore, tough luck.

If I were you I'd demand my money back.

Dude we sailin in the same boat. Played it for about 3 days tops. I will never play it again, until I have a child. Then I might think about reinstalling that sack of donkey piss.

[ClownFoot]

Can't see why you bought it in the first place.

[Thoric]

I'm getting the feeling EA is run by evil retard monkeys.

[Ferox]

Can't see why you bought it in the first place.

I think its well worth it and it has met my expectations, I never imagined it being anymore grander or in depth then this.

they just released their first patch too.

[Spinewire]

why would you pay money for spore?

Especialy if you knew it was going to be bland shit.

[Zeaph]

I only bought the game to make the creatures that looked like giant walking male reproduction organs.

[Everto]

Especialy if you knew it was going to be bland shit.

I didn't, I just thought you guys kept complaining about the dRM.

[Laiziras]

You have to buy new reg code?
I though that you had to only phone them for code.

Haha I haven't I'm just saying some fools did and there the first one fell.
(If some folks would be interested in how the actual screen of the BS DRM looks) .

Yea that's what I thought too.

well yeah you buy it... by phoning them I guess?

[The Lost One]

Spore is fun for a short time but oh so god damn disappointingly shallow.

I want the 2005 version damn it!

At least I found out where it all started going downhill:

Will Wright has said that the Spore team decided long ago that it was more important to achieve stellar game sales than fantastic review scores.

"We were very focused, if anything, on making a game for more casual players," Wright told MTV Multiplayer. "Spore has more depth than, let's say, The Sims did. But we looked at the Metacritic scores for Sims 2, which was around 90, and something like Half-Life, which was 97, and we decided - quite a while back - that we would rather have the Metacritic and sales of Sims 2 than the Metacritic and sales of Half-Life."

[Rimayven]

Spore worth playing anyway?

[Spinewire]

If the game i good i would let someone hit me in the face while i play it, DRM is nothing. Games are so shockingly bad i would walk across hot coals for one that entertain me for more than a week.

A week? I would sleep on a bed of nails for 3 months if I could find something that is fun for more than a few hours.

[Durindana]

lol inc xpacks in <3 months for $19.99, I'd guess

that's the EA way

[heroshade]

Really, who expected Spore to be good? It was made by EA.

[[LoD] EE]

I'm getting the feeling EA is run by evil retard monkeys.

No, The people who purchased the game, knowing FULL WELL that it had these features and then cry about it, those are the retarded monkeys.

Creature phase: Improved the pacing towards the end of the game, and increased the challenge in Normal and Hard modes.

From the patch on the 18th.

OH MY GOD, CHALLENGE IS HARDERRRR 33333


9. PVP. Yes I said PVP. Give the PVP people there cake and let um eat it too!. Cus I want to beat by buddy's up and blow there plants up lol. You need to add the ability to travel to other players galaxy and goof around with them. And also group with them and so on

This man on the forum has some intelligence, who agrees with this idea?

[Cahl]

It's funny that DRM always hurts the honest people, never the pirates.

Just take Spore for instance. The DRM was broken even before the game was released. And the people that get bitten, are the ones that legally bought it.

thats the truth.
i havent bought or pirated the game, but i know a friend who has pirated the game and thought it was ok.

[wertyn]

a few hours?I would let a teste chewing monkey live in my pants for a year just to get a game thats enjoyable for more then a few minutes

[Tharkon Fargor]

Ofcourse it's ok.
Laws are meant to be broken if they are deemed by the public to be idiotic.
In this case it is a ripoff to sell a game at full price with only 3 installs.

Sure you can "pick" not to install it.
But one can rather choose to ignore the laws that bind the product and download it anyway.

Actually the best and most correct thing would perhaps be to buy Spore and then crack it.
Hah...I know. But the game is so bad in terms of value (even not taking in the DRM) that's barely worth doing.

[Spart]

My spore still works, but do I play it? No.

Busy playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2.

My brother recently bought this game. Due to whatever cheap anti pirate program they are using, he can't play it on his computer. This means if he wants to play it, he must use my computer.

[Eskareon]

Someone already reformatted their computer three times since Spore was released?

Or did they four separate computers that they needed to have Spore installed on?

Either way, boo-hoo, you have to make a phone call.

Sadly i too was duped into getting this, got as far as teh tribal stage and now to be honest i am fucking bored of it, gone back to watching pron and downloading free tv shows

Might as well get to the space stage if you paid money for it. There's a bit of fun to be had, though not all that much.

[Tharkon Fargor]

Yeah I gave up at the Civ stage. That part was just to damn boring.
And even though it was kinda fun to design your own buildings and all it didn't make much sense to me. First of all for some reason there's no black colour, no brown colour, no like...What would the problem been if they just had a spectrum of colours?

Second you seem to jump from being a tribe full of idiots to a tribe that designs hyper modern tanks. Basicly the only thing they do is design tanks and "funneh stuff".
The same thing repeats itself through out the wholy shitty game. Either you sing or you kill people. Great.

Now the tanks. My tank looks pretty awesome. It's like a bull head.
But the thing is that you have so much cash and that the only thing that matters as always is how much stuff you put on your tank. Not the design, not intelligence. Just the stuff. So you end up putting a shitload of stuff which doesn't make any sense but somehow improves your tank.

I gave up after that.

Well the DRM is fixed now, so you can keep on whining like little bitches or play it. Or not play it, because it's fucking boring.

[Tharkon Fargor]

yeah im saying its a boring game. how can they be happy with the consumer reviews when everyone stop playing after 1 day of gaming

If you hold down the left mouse button over the colors a whole complete pallet will come up.

I got it and with some strong dope it is pretty damn funny.

[Mulambo]

...giant walking male reproduction organs.

Nom Nom Nom

haha!

[Knocky]

I told EA to go fuck themselves when my wife's copy of Sims 2 decided that it was a pirate copy and refused to run anymore.

I am never buying another EA product again, which kinda sucks sometimes since I would have like to have gotten Red Alert 3.

[stalwart]

i have a hard time playing warhammer because EA is behind it.

Hah I thought almost everything was idiotic about the game so didn't think they would be smart there neither but yeah I noticed that myself while playing around in the flower editor.

Yes there's a hidden easter egg and you'll never ever get it! For I would never risk of this getting out to flower loving hippies! ....Whoops :bang:

Nah but seriously the shit is so bugged it is like Spore but even suckier! :eek:

[Nexus]

You miss out on actual varied content if you pirate it, but you miss out on knowing you didn't get ripped off if you buy it.

I fall into the consumer catergory quite neatly, and yes, this is/will become/ing the most pirated game evah.

[biggunsar]

The problem with spore, was there was not enough choice in the game.

Eat or kill, just to get a bigger brain.

How about getting sticks for the nest. cant reproduce without a nest. YOu have to defend your nest from other invaders (which doens't happen)
Choose egg or live young, Egg is easier, but you have to warm it. Or keep it warm somehow (bury, or lay on it). Leaving either the egg or both you and egg vulnerable.

Live young you must watch your young, make sure they do't run away until they are old enough ect.

how about when you crawl out of the ocean, you have to chase food from teh water to a bit out of the water, but you must go back into teh water repeatedly until you develop lungs. Not brains.

Death, should set your creature back one "evolution" back. Not land to sea. But that new mouth upgrade should be gone. Or at the very least, you must switch to another one of your creatures from the nest. If you die too much, you go extinct, because you used up all the creatures from your nest. That one should have been implemented as a no brainer.

If they had made the game in this manner it would have been a hell of alot better.

Just killing and eating, is pointless.

i got to play spore in beta and i built up an army of 12 monkeys. we ruled my planet
