Expansion watch

I agree, forget parts. Add more interesting and involving gameplay first!
 
After reading a little more, I found a quote that I like:

Sorry, I am not going to pay $400 in expansion packs for the game that I was promised to begin with.

I really feel for those who waited years for this game. I didn't read the early hype and wasn't really fussed until the last weeks before release.

What we have at the moment is a tech demo rather than a game. Its creative and groundbreaking and a great technical achievement, but its not good long-term entertainment. Adding new 'parts' wont change that.
 
So... I hope you're all going to boycott this 'cute and creepy parts' expansion :)

triple posts FTW
 
I'm going to wait for reviews on it. Something like 40% of it is just new texturing. The space expansion may be worth picking up, but again, I'll probably wait for the reviews.
 
Maybe if it was five dollars I'd consider it.

I won't support EA's business policy towards expansions, and I won't get it unless I am given some massively powerful incentive to do so.
 
LOL. Just spend that $20 on ramen and eat it in one day. The effect will probably be the same.

I may pick it up only for the joy of creating, not because the gameplay is improving any.
 
Part of me died when I saw that video a few days back. That, my friends, is the direction in which EA is dragging Spore.

I won't be buying out of principle. I will not support the practice of selling 'parts packs' for 1/3 the cost of the full game, 2 months after the original release. It's utterly wrong and disgusting.

I've been defending Spore as a game, but EA's actions are as indefensible as ever.

Sadly, like for 95% of boycotts, I'm pretty sure all the people refusing to buy this crap for 20$ (like you and me) will have no effect whatsoever. A LOT of people will buy this, including grandmas and aunties buying stuff for their kids and who are unaware they are ruining the gaming industry for people who are really into it. Thanks grandma.
 
Yeah, it's really just symbolic. I can do better by supporting businesses with better policies (Stardock comes to mind) than by buying nothing at all.
 
^Thanks for the link. I like the look of some of those parts. It just makes me more angry though :mad:

So... is it true they had all these 'parts' ready for use in july, but took them out and kept them specifically for sale as a seperate 'expansion'?

Anyway, until we can do interesting things with our creations in-game, I wish to express that I have absolutely no incentive to buy this.
 
Yeah, it's highly irritating... I'm holding out until I have free time, and they release a culmination expansion pack- if I get anything more from them at all.
 
This is just wrong; I won't but it firstly becuase it s plain disgusting. Secondly, if I compare it with my current creatures I know I'll just die... way too different for me.
 
Agh! That video made my eyes and brain bleed, while further breaking my heart for the hope I had for this game when that preview came out about 9-12 months before release...

Does anyone know when EA steam-rollered Maxis because I'm sure their games haven't been the same since.

Less cutesy graphics, more decent gameplay!

This is a pretty good plan. I'm going to wait for culmination expansion packs too.

That video was rather irritating too.. isn't there already an element of horror & humour in Spore? I've seen creatures of both variants walk about many times.
