L&P Spore (expansion) announced
Gus Smedstad:
I guess you don't know me, because I thought it was worth the $50. Sure, it has lots of flaws, and ultimately ends up getting repetitive, but I got several hundred hours out of it before I moved on. That's well above what you get for $50 from most games these days.
Faizah, cell is one of your favorite stages? I know this is tough to do, but could you share why? It seems really, really limited to me. And repetitive. Every time I've played, I've ended up with pretty much the same creature pretty quickly, just for practical reasons. Doesn't matter if it's a herbivore or carnivore, the weapons and positioning is pretty much the same.
Heck, Cell is really the stage that needs a Parts Pack. Something to throw some variety into it.
Creature grew on me with time. If you enjoy making stuff and fiddling with the creature editor in general, the limitations of having only those parts you've found, and the need to maximize stats adds something, pushing your creatures in directions you don't go if you have an unlimited budget and parts. I still prefer Space, but it's probably 2nd for me.
I don't see myself buying expansion packs for it either.

Before, I only mildly disliked EA...but lately it seems every time I turn around, EA is doing something else to treat their customers like shit.
Insanity Prelude:
I'm so happy I didn't give them any of my money for this game.

Don't you think this says something about the game? Obviously the people who didn't think it was worth buying won't be interested in an EP. Personally, I find it too dull to even arr the EP. If they can't entice you either, that's pretty damning.

Yeah, I quite like cell. I'm not exactly sure why, but, yeah. I do like the fact that, in order to get a part from a creature, you need to find a creature with that part. No getting arms from limbless slugs, like in creature stage, for example. And it's pretty simple, swim into X to attack/kill/eat it. The best part is after you've put the omnivore mouth on there. And the lack of parts is made up for by the fact that, here, bonuses stack. (For speed at least, being the only thing in cell with a point value.)
As for creature, I've been known to keep a creature game running for weeks, getting parts (over pretty quickly), accumulating DNA, and tweaking my creature. One I had played so long that everyone on the map was either my bestest friends or dead. (I started out going for green, before I decided I wanted the red benefit. I literally had to kill every remaining creature in order to scrape in at the top of red.)
I didn't buy it, and I won't buy any EPs, but I'll certainly acquire them. (Part packs are more iffy, though the creating is my favourite part, above all of the stages.)
