I'm curious as to how long it took for Spore to become boring for other players.

For myself, yesterday (the 12th) was the first time I went to load Spore then thought "no... there's nothing left to do... no point."

What about you? A lot of people complained that the game sucked right off the bat, but I found it enjoyable for the first few days.

This isn't a thread to slam Spore or SecurRom, nor is it a thread to say "I didn't buy it". If you'll notice, there's no option on the poll for "I didn't buy it." That's because it doesn't have any relevance here.

I'm just curious how long other players played it for.

I was having a blast until just 30 minutes ago.... I'm in the Space Age and I almost have a million Sporebucks.......but what I hate is that everyone looks up to me like i'm Superman. I have to save a freaking planet EVERY TIME. Why cant they just leave me alone??!!!!! I can't progress if I keep having to save the day every day. Well if this keeps up, i'll just have to put in a few cheats here and there. :)

Just got Spore yesterday. I have a feeling I will be fed up with it in a week.

The game is great, until I get to the space part.

Very interesting results so far. I wonder how much of it has been caused by overhype and letdown, and how much of it has been caused by people truly disliking the game.

Around 2 hours. After the first playthrough. Not even a playthrough, i was on the space level, and i uninstalled it. Repetative and boring, its just 4 minigames crammed into one cd. Im going back to see if i can trade it for mercs 2.

Took my friend 3 hours to quit the game.

As for myself I don't blame him since I didn't see anything special in the creature creator.

It's EA controlled Will Wright so I didn't expect much but I am disappointed by the reception it's getting from hardcore gamers.

How is it not relevant if someone didn't buy it? I didn't buy it for exactly the reason that I know it won't take long before I'm going to get bored with it if I do. This game had a sims vibe from the start and I'm guessing many peoples who find it boring now are the same peoples who don't see the point to those games. I've tried those, know what they're like and it was enough to never develop any real interest in spore in the first place.

when I get to the Space Age, it isn't boring at all. it's just troubling to have giant empires next to your capitol hassling you for money every so often.

I do think people are expecting something different from Spore hence the disappointment and boringness. I know what kind of game Spore is and am seeing the game on a different perspective from that of the so called hardcore gamers here.

LOL I got bored of the game after 30 minutes... the creature stage was the worst, though I kept playing till I got to the space stage, and I have one thing to say, the cell phase was the best in the game! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO RUIN IT SO MUCH!! the trailers and gameplay videos was much better than the aktuall game!

I hope after this disaster, Will Wright realizes he's not a Gaming God and quits. He'd be doing everyone a favor.

There is a SPORE topic to use at the top of the page for the next few days. All threads and comments in direct regards to SPORE need to be done in that thread. This allows for more varied discussion of other games in the general PC Games forum. Thank you.
