Spore -- Done?!

[LeetViet]

Spore is finished. That's the first thing I learn as I head in to my play session at the Leipzig Games Convention. Obviously, the game isn't finished finished (as in ready to ship), but in terms of its content offering, it's all there -- the game is complete. At this point, EA is spending the next several months paying attention to feedback from players to tweak and polish Spore for its release next Spring. But otherwise, it's done...

Next spring? I'm surprised they aren't in a rush to get it out the door before the holidays if it's "done"

If its 'done', EA philosophy says the game will be released in time for Christmas. Patches to follow.

The Devs would be wise to maintain that the game is not finished for a while.

as the quote from the OP said, the feature set is finished (all of the features have been developed and implemented), but the code is not finalized and likely still needs to be optimized.
Who knows though, I'd love to see the game before Christmas. It's one of the games I really really really want to play.

Yeah, but would you want to play it in a half shit soaked way?

And I really don't see what's so exciting about Spore, sure it has the whole evolution thing, and you create your own civ...but it just doesn't seem...well don't listen to me, I'm sure it will be revolutionary.

I agree. It seems boring. It reminds me of those shows about decorating a house. A chore.

Yeah, like the first few hours of gameplay look boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring. Why would I want to imitate Pac Man, when I can just go online and play Pac man? Why would I bother creating a new species? I'd rather just have humans, and create a new civilization, with the Spore premise, and then take it off like Empire Earth does, but being Will Wright, he'd do it better.

Ya know what? Its not done at all, its half baked and playable most likely, how do i know this? I dont... but look at EA's track record, they're all about money and dont even know the meaning of quality.
