It's not been reviewed yet. Or is this one of those things like with MGS4 when they accidently put the score up for a few seconds? Because I see no other reason you would make a topic faking Spores score unless it was account suicide or something.

I don't get it. It may have flopped slightly, but an 8.0 is good.

Oh snap.

THHBO, j/k.

I still plan on goofing around with it.

It was innovative, but not polished, I guess. The formula should be refined for SPORE 2 : Bigger and Badder.

Didn't you get the memo? Any game that scores below 9 is crap, so are games that don't have stupid amounts of gore and unrealistic dialouge and shallow gameplay.

I have to admit I've been looking forward to this game. Let's face it, it didn't only get an AA review, the game got a score of 8.0!

I did expect it to get higher than 8.0 but it isnt a bad score. It will be only a matter of time before rabid fan boys start blaming Kevin VanOrd for this score :?

Well, that's a flop, I guess that means I'm automatically owned as I'm a Hermit. It's in Too Human's large shadow though, perhaps the hermits could get away with this with a few scratches.

It dosen't matter though, Hermit's shouldn't care about what faction is "owned" on something as trivial as a video game forum, this is a great game, that Hermit's, and even console players can enjoy (due to low system requirements), despite all the "lawlz", "owned" and silly finger pointing, that's all that matters.

According to the review, the biggest problem for Spore is the lack of deep gameplay. I thought pc gamers always toss about having the deepest gameplay of all gaming systems. Anyway, this just means that Spore will be served as a great game for both hardcores and casuals. :)

Funny how other review sites gave it a 9+ out of 10 and Gamespot gave it an 8. So what?

Nice try and sidestepping the ownage.... which is a bigger flop between Spore & Too Human, is debatable.... Too Human score is quite a bit lower, but then, Too Human wasn't hyped nearly as much or by as many people, as Spore was.

Still I plan on getting this game at some point, as do I plan on buying Too Human at some point.... but Spore first.

That game isn't even hyped :| and I think most people wouldn't even expect good reviews from it in the first place. Probably around the A range.

Regarding Spore however, I am quite surprised. I had no intention of getting it though, and still don't, so it doesn't really effect me.

I personally think the hype was pre mature myself, as I knew that Maxis wouldn't create an incrededibly deep game, as the last thing they would want to do is alienate the millions and milions of Sims players.

On a side note, this wasn't going to be the best game ever after all these years...... the peak of the hype was GOTY and a few speculated AAAA due to MGS4 and GTA4 getting 10's. I've never seen any game, let alone spore, hyped to be "best game ever after all these years".

Sidestepping ownage?

Why would I try to attempt to sidestep something I don't even care about? System wars is essentially a fun meta game, it's all light hearted, I acknowledged that I was owned anyway, what's the deal?

Too Human and Spore is debatable, my actual point was, that people haven't got over Too Human, so this could go undetected amidst the fallout of the Too Human review

The Sims is better than Spore! There I said it. The Sims actually has a very deep gameplay compare to all the games out there, there are just so many things that you can do in the Sims at the same time. I knew Spore won't be executed as fantastic as the Sims, but it could and it may.
