So close, and yet so far

[SuperBeaverInc.]

After years of waiting, Spore is almost here. But the agony is killing me. Its so close that I can almost feel it. Now, all you people who got it already and I despise, help me pass the time with all your best screenshots.

I really hope that my pre-order arrives in the mail on Monday...

Same. Well, I didn't pre-order, I got it cheap of Amazon (£26)

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I pre-ordered from EA, which is bad, because they don't give a **** about us once they've got our money.

For some reason they released it in australia 5 days ago, been playing it a bit, one game only though, but it is so different to civ that i can't really compare it, both fantastic!

 

[Lord_Iggy]

We know that it was released early in Australia Ball Lightning, and we're going to get our revenge for that- for Steven Bradbury too.

Glad you're enjoying it!

I really thought I could take or leave this, but I suddenly find myself looking forward to playing a computer game in a way I haven't felt since... the game 'Z' back in 1996, and Chaos Engine before that, way back in 1992.

I guess I'm bound to be dissapointed in some ways, but I've already been pleasantly suprised by some things I've seen in reviews.

 

[Leonel]

Boohoohoo. The mall won't open for another 45 minutes.

 

[salty mud]

Leonel has waited so long for this day, haven't you.

Heck yes! I've been reading all about it since it was an unconfirmed rumor when I was in college!

But now I have it! See you guys in a couple of days!

Enjoy. I'm sure you'll be happy.

 

[Daftpanzer]

I was worried it was going to be too 'cutesy', but I can make evil stuff!

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Daft! That's awesome!

 

[Daftpanzer]

Thanks!

Here is a montage of my first couple of hours of playing the actual ‘game’ (really more like an interactive creative exercise - I find myself adding body parts I don’t technically need etc..)

I like my blue planet.

 

[Ball Lightning]

They look great! Didn't know you could get a blue planet to begin with, thats cool.

 

[Abaddon]

Daft those are loverly.. I am starting to understand why such "cutesy" graphics might actuall need a decent computer.

You had any trouble with your internets?
