I'm so excited, I already set aside a week from work to play it! I've also specially bought a monitor arm that will bring my monitor to my recliner for it and got new glasses so I can see it in its awesome glory.

Although granted I was going to get a monitor arm anyway and the glasses are just part of my yearly eye exam.

Also the new Spore sub forum was all me! YOU HEAR ME?! ALL MEEEE!!!

My rose-tinted excitement has kind of faded since SporeCC. I think they would have been better off with a surprise mid-summer release. I'm thinking the game complexity will be a little shallow, since they're obviously aiming it at grade school to young adult, but whatever, give me my disks.

I'm apprehensive that the game will be too simple, or that it will go Fable on me. I have hope though.

Soren Johnson has successfully lobbied for difficulty levels, there are three in the game now: easy, normal and hard. It is rumored that Will Wright wasn't able to beat the game on hard yet.

Yes, I was very excited until I realized theyre target audience was "Mass appeal" and not strategy gamer minded players. This isnt necessarily a bad thing, but the game just looks all around to shallow at this point for me to have much excitement anymore.

Crud, I failed the system requirements test. Then again, I also failed half of my favorite games so I'm not worried.

I'll see how it goes.

I'm surprised there is a subforum for this!

I've been getting a bit apprehensive over the past year, too. I may wait a week or two to see how the reviews are.

They said the same thing about the developers on Civ3.

What is it to be excited about? I haven't seen anything special when it comes to gameplay. It's innovative and ambitious, but so was Black&White and that game was fun until the novelty wore off.

It looks like a flop to me, with initially excellent reviews.

I've been waiting for at least 3 years and extremely excited to finally get my hands on the game.
