**SPORE**

The second was in the space stage, sometimes when you respawned after dying, the planet you spawned on wouldn't let you zoom out of the planet, not even the solar system. So you were basically stuck there.

Yep, that happened to me; kept crashing to desktop when I tried to fly from the planet to solar system...

There seems to be a problem when it comes to dealing with all the buildings and fountains/ flowers/ etc that the inhabitants put in their cities. Once all the locations are competely full of buildings etc. it screws up.

I managed to "fix" it by letting two of the cities be destroyed by aliens... I no longer have any issues with it.

Seems EA are finally cutting paying customers some slack with the DRM. They're increasing the number of installs you can use to five and are going to let you "reclaim" one every time you uninstall the game, they're also (and this is the biggest change for me) letting you use up to five accounts per CD key instead of limiting it to one. :)

This looks like they are bringing it in-line with what they plan to do with Red Alert 3.
 
Just started playing and just got this thing where you can add a creature to your pack, only problem is, I didn't read how?? Anybody know?

Click on a member of your species / an allied species and 'impress them' by dancing/singing/posing etc. A successful attempt at that will add them to your pack.
 
Great.. I was finally getting into the space stage.. I'd played it before and gotten wiped out but for the last 3 hours I've been playing it.. wiped out an enemy and had just met the grox in the middle of the universe, I tried being nice and doing their missions but they were attacking me while I was doing them!

Anyway the game just crashed and I lost the 3 hours I spent playing, I really don't want to play over it again so I think that's it for this game. Seeing as your previous choices make no difference at all when entering the space age I don't see much reason to play over it again.
 
Got to admit I'm getting bored of fighting the grox now. I have accepted a mission to meet them head on and rage war. must have killed over 50 planets and there territory is still huge.....

The only thing keeping me plugging away at them is to see what happens afterwards, which I think I will be disappointed with. I think this will be a series for the future. Spore two should have everything spore is missing.

You can see my two refuelling planets, did have it bigger buut *** grox just attack them, so I'm only keeping those two alive.

Its gotten really annoying, an ally asks me to help him out as he's getting attacked by another race. I go with his shipmate in tow, I get blown up along with his ship, now they hate me and I'm at war with them as well.
 
Yeah they implemented that a few days ago, but what is interesting is the last 4 paragraphs in the article:

Another primary concern about the game was that each copy allowed for only one player using one screen name to use it.

Jjwalters3, a user of Sporum, the game's official online forum, summed up the situation: "What EA has effectively done is license the product to the individual person and not the machine.

"It's along the same lines as saying 'you need to purchase one game for each member of your household' even if you only use one computer."

EA's response is that it will now allow five screen names per copy of the game, though it has yet to release details of when the change will take effect.

Makes the game a little more re-sellable, where before they'd effectively killed off 2nd hand trading.
 
Saw that on Dailytech, seems the guy was having a slight dig at people for "not understanding" the need for DRM...

We understand it, we'd just like a little more options. How can you release a game and not allow us to de-authorise installations?
Also... The "pirate" wont experience any of these issues as they ******* pirated the game. Sigh.

Still, at least they've opened their eyes, I think the "improved" DRM is a bit more like it. Finally you'll be able to get installs back, instead of being treated like a criminal and having to phone EA.
 
I think the best new change is that they're allowing you to create up to five online accounts per CD key.

Considering the obvious target audience of this game is families, you'd think they would've let the whole family actually play it properly instead of only one being able to share and download creations.

I hope EA learned from this, but I doubt they did. :rolleyes:
 
Gone from start to finish, gotten to the center of the galaxy, have a whole bunch of badges. Just feels like theres nothing else to do now except buy planets and kill people. After destroying a planet pick up spice, sell it for another 500,000+ bucks etc... Feels very repetetive and defending planets from ecodisasters, pirates and allies getting invaded is much of a chore.

Was fun getting to the top, wish i could ally with the grox but have about -490 with them.

Certainly repetetive but extremely fun and easy to play.
