For all those wondering, it's not that Spore was a terrible game all on its own. It is that it was meant to be a completely amazing game with realistic mechanics for animals (such as dragging a carcass away to your nest in order to eat safely) and was supposed to be at least somewhat scientifically accurate with evolution. But instead, they made everything about it cartoony and made each stage in the game a repetitive mini game. And the end stage is not worth playing past the first hour.
Again, not a bad game. But if you followed it from it's start and were anticipating it, it was the biggest disappointment in gaming history, probably akin to what some oldfags might have felt with the new Duke Nukem

borderlineparanoid ONLINE (12/17/2015) [-] the early footage of that game looked fantastic but they ****** up by making it really boring after the creature stage.
I liked the idea of going from cell to fish then to land creature. that was cool.

doctorprofessornv (12/18/2015) [-] But all the science aspects were from Will Wright, the original prototypes he showed were his own creations. Spore was really supposed the be his Magnum Opus. Blame EA for stepping in and deciding that actual science and strategy was 'too complex/difficult' for a wider audience, cutting most of the good stuff in production, and forcing it to be released before it was ready.

mishmash (12/17/2015) [-] I followed spore since they first announced its development, even though i love the released game, the one they had in development was infinitely better.

infinitereaper (12/18/2015) [-] Spore literally had the potential to be one of the greatest games to go down in history.
I see it all too often with the gaming industry these days (I'm looking at you Bethesda)
Dumbing down and catering to the filthy casuals, and money grubbing.
Not to mention all this "lets make games for kiddies with no explicit themes"
So many games have no ambition, stray away from controversy, and play it safe.
As a whole it's boring as hell.
But at least we have a few gems every now and then.

sketchE (12/18/2015) [-] im sorry but this is one of my biggest complaints about gamers. the target audience is not you. dont get me wrong you are in the target audience. just like youre in the target audience for a music festival. i see way too many people nitpick games and miss the point that its the gaming industry.

sketchE (12/18/2015) [-] you and i both know how dumb an argument that is. remember the wii and nintendo ds? most of its library were casual ******** and guess what it stomped the competition. the plane and simple fact is that while the product might be suffering people are still going to buy it. EA sports is the most garbage group of game developers and they bring in millions of sales every year. ubisoft and activision do all of the things people claim is an EA thing and they still bring in millions. so youre right the hardcore fans who are trying to find a perfect game are upset. but the real target audience, people who play the game for fun and only have one criteria fro a game being good. thats the real target audience. the people on funnyjunk and the rest of the internet who want to **** on games that are fun as hell because "i dont like having a voiced protaganist" are really the least fo their concerns

infinitereaper (12/18/2015) [-] In other words you casuals admit to ruining everything with no shame?
That "it doesn't matter" attitude, Kojima warned us all about this.

sketchE (12/18/2015) [-] look ive argued with you enough in the past so im just going to end it here. i think your opinion is **** because you think you set the measuring **** . you think my opinion is **** because im ok with the way things are. this is every one of our arguments and were both right and were both wrong. go get high and beat a trany to death or whatever you do to have fun. just go have fun dude

infinitereaper (12/18/2015) [-] I'm bored, with most of the industry, just like I'm bored by most things in this "modern" world. Fun things are fun, boring things aren't. Casualized, simple, play-it-safe, meaningless games are not fun.
