Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Hippie's ass has a lot of gentlemen callers today.
Irene can I tell you something?
Only I cannot express this sentiment with words.
it's like, I don't know why I keep picking it up, but I do
it just bothers me that things remain undone
Can you do it with anime screenshots?
I'm so buying you a copy of Disgaea DS.
Can you do it semaphore?
I'm not in it for the crack, only for the coke
Divorce!
I don't think that would work. It's non-verbal communication, but the signs still stand for words.
I don't fucking get how you can sit down and make a game like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.
"Oh hey let's make a map where players can treasure hunt based on how they place tiles and some items are ONLY available by placing tiles in a certain way but let's not even remotely hint at these methods in the game itself oh yeah and let's limit the number of mission items they can carry to 64 but put like 200 in the game and oh don't forget some of them can only be obtained once so if they accidentally delete it that's it they can't 100% the game and let's also put out 17 million abilities and let's also send Godzilla out to America to stalk Drez and crush his spirit into little ashen bits."
If you buy a game about creating things and letting them play in procedurally generated worlds and find it gets stale quickly because your options are limited in both instances, boom - you have suddenly become disenchanted with it, haven't you?
You could still like creating things. But if there's not enough options aside from creation it's possible to get bored.
Spore is not just about creating. If it were they would have just released the Creature Creator and charged you $50 for it, wouldn't they?
...
I hate you.
Only if you let me use the other end of the sign.
Spore is where fuckfaces go to fuck faces.

How so? If my interest is in a man with a great amount of experience gobbling black cock, I sure as hell would find merit in that criticism.
As it happens, I judge my games "puchasability" by replayability. If it's highly replayable, or if the multiplayer is something I'll get a great deal of use out of, I'll buy it. Otherwise it's a rental.
I didn't say Spore was a bad game unworthy of praise, it simply may not be worth buying.
Line 1: Addressed above.
Line 2: That works for anything, that's simply... too broad.
Line 3: I wouldn't say "pronouncedly." Medo's interest is already obviously in the game, so she's clearly already approved of the concept. What she wanted was an idea of its practical worthiness. Spore may be bug-ridden. There could be hidden child porn all throughout the game.
Who knows?
Why I dislike Final Fantasy games.
I'd say that the limitations are in one camp far more than the other, and that people who were excited for the procedurally-generated content have the most reason to be disappointed. It's still strange to levy the criticism against the game, though, in that it only has replay value. By virtue of the fact I "beat" the game within, what, six hours? I've already gotten another ten or so of "replay value," which is more than I can say for most games I've played.

Just not enough fun.
I hate it mostly because of the Godzilla thing. But that thing you bolded is the second most annoying thing about them.
"Oh look at me I'm a spore blah blah blah blah blah spore sporey spore spore"
That's the problem right there ^
But MikeMan has a great amount of experience gobbling black cock.

Well, gobbling black cocks is a tough standard of comparison.
You would know.
Well, that's not really what is described as "replayability," to me. Replayability to me means going through the game over again, and so it really doesn't apply to open-ended games because they never really end. Replayability is relevant to FFXII, Fable, or KOTOR, but not to games like The Sims or WoW. I haven't really played Spore, but it seems like an open-ended game, so "replayability" in the way I think of it doesn't really apply. What you're talking about to me is more like, I dunno, "enduring playability" or something.
I mean srsly.
Is it any good?
But how much. And what if my interests are... gargantuan. Maybe I can lend cursory, temporary appreciation for his effort, but maybe I had hopes for more cocks?
Things like the uniformity bother the most. Every Creature founds the same-looking Tribe. Every Creature has the same nest and the same idling habits. There's very little "living and breathing" world to it, which is a real shame.
So it's not so much the quantity of cocks but the quality?
