First of all - what type of game is it? The graphics everyone is seeing would make everyone believe it's a kids game or a casual Wii title - but it also is a life sim game, a strategy title in the later stages, a complex civilization building saga! Or... is it not? Just how much "casual" and how much "hardcore" are there in Spore?
How long will each of the five stages last? Minutes? Hours? Days? Everyone knows that the cell stage is basically a minigame and it would be natural for it to last a few minutes but what about the others? Will the creature stage keep us glued to the chairs for a few days or we'll spend six hours creating a perfect creature and 30 minutes playing with it? Answering these questions would tell exactly what market segment Maxis is targeting - the casual players or the hardcore ones - and, even more, it would tell how long the game will live: it's obvious that Spore will sell big time, but just how long will the hype last?
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.
After those penis creature and the game's potential!!! it's a multi milion seller!!!
So Abstract i'm speechless.................... ............................... ............................... ............................... ............................... ..........
I just pray that it sells. I know that critically this game is gonna be well recieved (Rightfully so). The creator editor is pretty easy to use yet insanely flexible. I'm still shocked by how such a easy editor is so much powerful...
And has anyone seen the Pikachu, Master Chief, F**K monster and 360 / PS3 controllers? This is just a demo of a little in-game editor! There will be building and other editors and that's just a little part of Spore.
Definitly a GOTY candidate for me.
well when it comes to making money seems like it will fail because of all the time and money they put into this game i remember reading a article along time ago were ea was saying they are at the point where they aren't expecting to make money of spore
if spore does become a phenomenon it will make money on expansions like the sims did. i'm sure w/in 6 months of release we will see the first of many expansions to come. think about all the things that could be added to spore, premade creatures, premade buildings, planets, galaxies, new space ships, new weapons, new items to place in your towns to make your creatures happy...the list goes on and on.
i hope a religious nut does complain about spore promoting evolution. just like most religious nuts they will only give spore more publicity than it would have received had they kept their mouths shut, insuring it sells well.
