1st Thread- How excited are you about this game?

[a space oddity]

They said the same thing about the developers on Civ3.

You didn't enjoy Civ3 then? Not even the first, say, two years?

I think we can cut them some slack, it is new and unexplored territory, no doubt there will be lots of room for improvement. I will make sure I will experience the first version in all its fresh self.

Such a killjoy!

I'm just trying to spread realistic expectations...

But honestly, I don't understand how this game can get so hyped up.

Well for me at least, it isn't stone-paper-scissor unit gameplay or balancing between governmental and citizen desires, but the ability to create something by yourself and have it interact with the game environment is what really makes me look forward to it.

I mean I've had the idea of sapient Corvid's in my imagination for a long time and now I have the chance to make it a game reality! Sure it's simple right now but Spore 2 could be more deeper and involved. After all, SimCity and Civilization were new IP's with simple gameplay that eventually evolved their more complicated and involved descendants SimCity 4 and Civilization 4.

Just think of this as Spore Classic to the next Spore's.

I was referring to the fact that they couldn't beat the hardest level.

I know.

I implied that you probably didn't complain about lack of depth in Civ3 the first two years, even though after playing the game long enough, the community figured out how to win on the hardest levels.

I remember the first time Spore was announced and have looked forward to it ever since. It's great to know the wait is now only 2 weeks! Luckily, I only have two days of school to go through before I get my hands on the game, so it won't be too bad. Then, all the weekend is mine for Sporing!

I just hope my stuff and monitor arm part comes in before Spore! I'm intending to start playing from my recliner 'cause I want to game in style.

It's the only true way TO game!

I can't wait to destroy some solar systems with my evil army of teddy bears!

I've been thrilled ever since I first saw the post 'SPORE: SimEarth Game' back in March 2006. It was just after I'd gotten highspeed internet, so I was able to watch the video. I am a big fan of SimEarth, and had, at the time, been considering how awesome the game would be with modern graphics. I saw that in Spore. Later, I learned just how much more Spore was, and my excitement took off from there.

And w00t, w00t, w00t! My computer easily exceeds Spore's minimum requirements!

Gratulations on the Spore subforum!

And I am seriously excited about the Civ phase. The Diplomacy part was especially great, it reminded me of Civ4.
