A buddy of mine had the same problem I almost had. He plays all the way through to the space stage then simply can't be bothered any more. Problem is, space stage is where the real game starts, so this is pretty much the biggest mistake one can make when it comes to enjoying Spore.

Yeah, and what's strange is that i'm enjoying it in ways I didn't even expect. There are flaws, things I was hoping would be a lot stronger, but the space stage is pretty much redemption for almost all of the complaints about the weakness of the stages before it.

Now that i've played the game more I can say that this man is utterly correct.

Didn't have a problem with it in Mass Effect, won't here. The only real argument against it is 'wah wah realism' which goes right out the window if they've ever played any other RPG in existence. Sure many 'unrealism

While I don't have a problem with the 'I want to actually try a demo that doesn't suck, so i'll DL a full version and give it a proper go' philosophy (which is what I did for World in Conflict and Hearts of Iron 2, both of which I love and now own retail versions of, and both of which had demos not representative of the full game), the issue comes from the 'well, it's a fun game, but not worth paying for so i'll keep playing but won't actually buy it' crap, which i've also done. The original intention CAN be morally excused, even if it's a grey area (after all, the publisher DOES profit from it), the 'ooops' result can't, and since doing the former probably leads to the latter more so than not the whole exercise is easily open to critisism. More so since people will simply use it as an excuse to be a plain dirty pirate. The real problem is that we can argue all day about this irrelivent subset of grey-area piracy, but at the same time I buy most of my games second hand. Sure i'm handing over money and the store loves me for it, but the end result to the publisher is the same, which, in theory, makes me just as bad. This is a whole seperate argument, but one that I feel is a lot more relevent than the 'but I only pirate to try' crap that we've seen so many times before.

He learns fast. Seriously, ditch that failbox and get yourself some POWER.

Oh him, he used to write for PCGamer UK ages ago when I still read it (like, 6 years). Awsome guy.

Actually, the eagle is the best because he'll bring you food from corpses.

Wired controlers are fine, don't need charging and are about 50% less expencive. The only problem is that there are only two USB ports on the front of the 360. Though i'm bias, since I perfer the feel of the wired ones.

Doesn't matter if it's 'true', the word is still biggoted. Try defending a racial slur in the same way. Go on, try it. oh, and by the way.

Oh, you mean the dragon. That's okay then. For treasure, the only pet to take is Pazzo, the second dog, which can be bought in the Ice shop. He's the only pet that lets you see treasure that isn't marked (of which there are at least two 'important' ones). Monkeyface just means you'll get more drops from badguys and the Sparrow is pointless. The Parrot will find its own hidden items in cirtain areas though (try the forest for example).

hahahahaha, man, someone took the sour train to bittertown today. Choo Choo!

Yeah, this thread needs more bigotry.

Wait, you mean the Volcano? aka 'easiest freaking boss in the game'?

But it's not deep like Braid!

Yeah, you, jerkface! <3<3<3 Castle Crashers. So much awsome.

Left for dead guesting = hehehehehehehehehe

What do you mean 'probably'. DEPLOY THE ARM!

coming next spring; Braid 2: CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING IN MY SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!

Castle Crashers = goty

I don't, that game is a pile of Hades.

They better release a patch soon, I wanna play mission mode.

I hope you didn't patch the game! Otherwise it'll crash at level 10, every time man, every time.

NG2 = godly.
