Darkspore sucks

Just sayin'

Steam had a "play free now and buy 4 for the price of 3!" and I played it for 15 minutes and have no desire to play any more...

Not surprised. Spore was a huge letdown, as was its expansion. Why expect any better from Dark Spore?

I played the Beta a little as well. Not that fun. Watered down too much.

Same deal here, the game intro went longer than my play time.

Ya, it does. A friend of mine bought it, then I bought it, then neither one of us played it longer than about 30 minutes.

Sucker! I'm actually surprised they did a beta/demo of it, all it seems to be doing is turning people OFF from it

I actually didn't mind it at all, it is certainly a lot better than spore. It is a little heavy on the useless story videos but otherwise it looks like it will be a decent enough game to hold me over until torchlight is released.

very lame.. lasted less than 2 hours on my drive.
bad bad game

I actually thought it was really fun, and I could see myself playing it long-term. The problem is the pricing; it seems to be an indie-caliber game rather than a big-name game, plus we all know there will be a bajillion expansion packs/addons.

If it were at like the $20 mark, I would consider getting it. However, at the $50 mark and with D3 probably coming out this year, I'll just enjoy the beta while it's still out.

I like it. Gameplay gets better once you have all your squad abilities unlocked. The game does a good job with item generation. There's always gear to look forward to after missions. However, it does seem unpolished for a $50 game.

It was ok, I guess.

I still wont buy it, or any game related to Spore, on principle alone.

 

[crownjules]

It's not a bad game. But I didn't find anything about it that stood out enough to make me want to keep playing. It's just another ARPG with some modification being possible via the Spore engine.

If anyone who did enjoy it wants to pool funds with me and buy a four pack, it comes to $37.50 per game that way.

careful, I did something similar back when Borderlands came out and a mod deleted the post with a "NO GROUP BUYS!!" reason

I think the game is more worth $15 anyway, so count me out
