That's a shame, I was actually looking forward to Spore.

Why was it delayed?
Posted: Sat Jun 23, 2007 4:51 pm
Because they can't finish it by the deadline

I like your use of ascii, Kashluk, keep it coming

Rockstar game developers are overrated. They start swallowing their own bullshit and eventually choke on it (Romero). Ahh, sweet, sweet hubris, you have finally descended on Will Wright as well.

That's actually not true.

It'll still be a while, but it was not delayed.
Shows how trustworthy their info is, eh?

Shows how relevant Spore is, you mean. It's going to be a shitty game whether it comes out tomorrow or in 2009. Hahaha. Five fucking years to make the RTS equivalent to Fable. All promises, all hype, and then it becomes... SORRY, WE'LL TRY AGAIN, BUY OUR SEQUEL ROFL!?!?!?

Damn, wasn't Fable any good? I just installed it

Re: Fable
Big Molyneux promises of a huge open adventuring world, actual delivery: A tiny, linear dungeon crawl full of basic third person combat against pretty monsters with a variety of spells and a character who becomes thinner/fatter/older/more muscular depending upon which skills you level.
A pretty and simplistic gimmick. Boring as hell in the long run, but also so small you can finish it in a few hours.

I heard its supposed to be decent if you haven't read any of the previews for it and kind of just grab it off a shelve ( or in susans case torrent) and play it.

That big mouth actually APOLOGIZED on the Fable board for being so full of shit. I don't hate the guy despite him being British and have an amazing knack for letting people down.
And Spore was supposed to come out no later than 2007. Did anybody else see him a couple months back on the Colbert Report? With already outdated graphics in 2008/2009 the game will no longer be relevant. EA is likely trying to force him into dumbing down or kill the game outright much like the Sims before its eventual release.

If you got into the hype machine you're fucked. If you picked up some random game for ROFL I HAVE ADD HACK AND SLASH you're set and ready to go. That's about all it is.S4ur0n27 wrote:Care to explain?Nicolai wrote:Fable was balls
And @T-900 you get fatter or thinner by eating or not eating. I ate like thirty chicken pieces or some shit so I could talk to the rock that had a fat fetish.
@MMRW: So basically the next STALKER?

It seems everytime there's something somebody likes, you're there to kick them in the face for having an opinion.
As for me, I'm not overly dissapointed, Spore seemed like a neverending game that would:
A. Get really boring, *really* fast
B. Not be all that fun to start with.
