Is "Spore" the Mother of all Video Games?

The company is most famous for their series of sports games, such As John Madden Football, but has recently encountered strong criticism for their strategy of developing sequels to pre-existing games, rather than innovating new titles. EA is hoping that the release of Spore will shush the critics once and for all, and turn around the company's lackluster profit outlook.

NO, spore is fn awesome but not the best. It is fun to be God, but it gets old.

radio0o5726d ago

its actually kind of a lame game to be honest. good ideas, poor execution and catering to casuals. kinda boring and pointless. etc

wayyy too much hype

Cheeseknight285726d ago

For the mother of all video games, it sure is lacking an AUTO SAVE FEATURE.

Seriously, my computer crashes and I have to start over? Are we in the 90s now?

Doesn't Really Matter.

Kyur4ThePain5726d ago (Edited 5726d ago )

Nobody sees what I did there?

<sulks in a corner>

ThatArtGuy5726d ago

DRM, but I chose to ignore it. :P

Sony Rep5726d ago

Little Big Planet looks to have more of an impact on the way we game than Spore was to supposedly have.

Harry1905726d ago

Is you daddy.

Bye-bye bubbles.

Calvin_ISA5726d ago (Edited 5726d ago )

cause you made me laugh by misspelling "your".. So it's as if you're asking me if I'm your daddy in a "poor southern" slang. Haha. Thanks for the laugh, and no.. I is not your daddy. ;)

Harry1905726d ago

Happens from time to time. I guess I am not your daddy. I am your brother. Let us dance under the moonlight my brother. You play Liquid, I will be Old Snake.

Calvin_ISA5726d ago

..and sure! Sounds like fun! ^.^ We could have a bonfire and sing coombiah. :D OOH! MARSHMALLOWS! OMG!!! WE COULD MAKE S'MORES!! xD

Harry1905726d ago

But I am allergic to marshmallow brother. After the little dance,, we shall decide, through a manly battle atop a super warship who takes Naomi HOME.

Calvin_ISA5726d ago

And we will fight for glory, as I already have a girlfriend. :D ah! I have a question! Will this fight sprawl through all the health bars and music of the previous entries in our series? :)

Harry1905726d ago

But remember, no low blow brother. Shots under the belt are prohibited.
The victor will be rewarded with a magnificent setting/rising sun in the horizon as well as Naomi. Well, not really, I get Naomi even if I lose, because I have a better mustache and I don't wear tight latex suits all day. That's how we roll brother.

If you win, you also get a limited Collector's Edition of the Gekko and Kerotan toys.

Calvin_ISA5726d ago

Limited Edition, eh? That's too good to pass up. :)

[[Out of Character]]: I only have one more reply.. And wanted to know - when you proofread, do you have an accent? Haha, I do. Sounding like SNAAAAAAAKE!!!

Harry1905726d ago

head, I am talking just like Liquid brother.Just like him.(Ocelot actually) And just that part when he says 'Brother!'

Calvin_ISA5726d ago

Just what I was imagining. :] It was fun while it lasted, brother! >:D Haha.

The 10 Weirdest Video Games You Can Play Today

From Xfire: "Anyone who's played video games for a couple of years has stuck around long enough to stumble across a few weird ones. Some are even quite popular, which is all the more reason why you'll wonder what made the developers think about making such a game and why people are loving it, despite its weirdness anyway. Not all weird video games are head-scratches. Some are actually quite good."

BlackDoomAx1104d ago

The stick of truth is a must have for any South Park fans. I spent a good afternoon on Goat simulator, a rare real open world. I planned to try hatoful boyfriend since it was free on Ps Plus. Disco Elysium is on my radar since the final cut came out; as soon as there is a discount, i will take it. Like movies, i like weird games too :)

The 10 Best Video Games With Cut Content

From Xfire: "The four-hour director's cut known as Zack Snyder's Justice League has led to the discussion of movies in the past that might have fared a whole lot better had they been released to be more in line with the original vision of their creators. But, as it turns out, cut content doesn't just happen in movies. In fact, the act of cutting content before the release date happens arguably just as often in video games as it does in cinema."

anast1110d ago (Edited 1110d ago )

I can't believe they cut stuff from Skyrim. At release, it was a barebones game with a slight improvement in graphics.

-Foxtrot1110d ago

"Now, before we proceed, we'd like to say that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is one of the best video games ever made. It's not just a fine piece of gaming. It's one of the finest there is"

Really?

MGSV is easily the worst main line MGS game and not just because of cut story content, the open world is bare bones and there's hardly anything to do. It's repetitive, samey and is just lifeless. I appreciate the stealth mechanics, the animations and the way you can go with combat but it's not enough to keep me engaged the full way through.

Kojima should have done a twist and make the main chunk of the game a Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2 remake to bring the story full circle.

lsujester1110d ago (Edited 1110d ago )

Story issues aside, V has amazing gameplay. I'm not sure what you're wanting out of the world in terms of "things to do", it's all the great gameplay the series has always had. Useless filler that other open worlds have like collecting flags and petting horses would have added nothing to that game.

JRMVN1103d ago

THE TRUTH! I don't even know how that game gets praised. The previous ones were so much better.
