Who's going to buy the Spore Creature Creator soon?

[Magusigne]

I feel like I'm getting conned but I'm still going to spend 10 bucks to see how the creator's going to look.

Anyone else like me? Thinking this is quite a rip-off and yet still going to take the bait?

Hehe

 

[Miklebud]

There will be a demo out for it. (According to IGN.com's release dates)

Looks cool. Why not? And what's it ripping off?

Just the fact that you're basically paying for a demo makes me feel weird inside...

But I'll still be getting it.

There is a free demo and a full version...

Yes..the free demo is basically a demo of the full version, but the full version is only a demo of a minuscule part of the entire game of Spore.

So, I can get the demo of the demo for free, or I can get the demo of part of the game for 10 bucks.

The question comes down to, is it worth paying ten bucks for 400% more content over the free demo? The answer for me is yes, but it doesn't change the fact I'm still paying for a demo.

Ah. I'll still be paying for it.

The character creator comes with the game, correct? Why pay $10 for it just to get it early?

A new toy to screw around with? It honestly looks interesting. Besides it'll give me a head-start in the actual game and will give some indication as to it's quality.

I'm don't intend to buy Spore until they change their DRM scheme from it. Haven't heard anything yet though.

As originally explained, Mass Effect players would need to authenticate the disc and its CD Key on install, and the game's SecuROM DRM software would then need to re-authenticate the game every 10 days in order to check and make sure the CD Key hasn't been banned for becoming public or being used for registering illegal copies.

...

A similar plan for mandatory authentication every 10 days on another anticipated EA PC game, Spore, was also scuttled, according to a statement from the game's producer. Both Mass Effect and Spore will now authenticate whenever users go online to download new content.

I'm not going to pay for this demo... I'll wait for the full game.

I dont intend to buy it because EA made it. Ill see what the reviews say though, maybe it wont be a pile of trash like most games they hype then abandon but im not getting my hopes up.

 

[TestedAcorn]

I WANT to pay for it... kind of. I'll probably just wait till one of my friends pays for it, and play with it on their computer. I wouldn't consider it a waste of money, but that $10 is gonna be going to something else.

 

[Phobic9]

I'm probably going to get this game on Mac instead. I'd rather not jump through hoops with the DRM mess. We'll see though.

 

[Maleficus]

oo oo, not me.

I wouldnt really call it paying a demo per se - theres no actual gameplay being demoed, its just the creator.

I could imagine theres plenty of people that would care less about the game and just want to have some fun creating the creatures. The creature creator is self contained, and the paid version is the full creator with all the parts. $10 isnt too shabby from what this creator is capable of doing, but being that I actually want the game, Ill probably just stick with the free one until it drops.

If they were to release an actual demo of the actual game, I'd imagine it'd be free. Would be pretty stupid not to be.

The early release of the Creator Creator is great. When the game is released, you'll be able to import your characters and jump right in. You won't have to spend hours creating you creatures.

If you didn't catch the video for the Creator Creator, it's worth a look.

:Q That just sent me from "yeah, I'll buy it" to "OMG 5 DAYS 5 DAYS 5 DAYS!!! HAAHAHAHAHA!!!"

After playing the free demo, I'm definitely excited.

So, who's got it so far? Interesting little device. Not entirely self explanatory, but you do pick up things - like that you have to hold down the mouse button on a color to get non cartoon shades, or that mousewheeling over a part changes it's size.

 

[pontifex]

i think i might buy it. I like messing around and creating stuff.

how are you guys getting it so soon? ARRRRR matey?
