Expect at least 3 "expansions" per year.

I said it in the other article and I'll say it again - this isn't going to sell because:

The Sims and its expansion packs were attractive because the core game had high replay value. Even the 'fun stuff' packs, which are comparable to this, sold because those objects were available to use in what is a fun, addictive and never-ending gameplay system.

Who wants to play through Spore again with a couple more appendages for their monsters? It is literally spending $20 to give your character in a linear, singleplayer game a couple more customisation options.

Everyone remembers The Sims right? with its 800 expansions? Maxis did that, and its doing that to Spore too. Good fun...

Correction Maxis did not do that. Maxis released the first one or two expansions after that EA's team took over and released all the rest.

I guess they will be trying to push the packs and expansions out as soon as possible, before every single person gives up on the franchise.

I played mine for 3 days and never touched it again. What a waste of money that was.

20 bucks for "parts", Jesus. People think Braid and Castle Crashers are expensive?

You wont catch this guy drinking any milk coming from the spore teet.

Braid is.Castle Crashers not so much.

Anyway, this "thing" should be left out of the entire discussion in first place as paying $20 for 100 new creature parts is simply fucking retarded!

Yeah in all honesty its kinda ripping the piss a bit(sorry its an Irish phrase, don't know if its big in the states or not) but yeah $20 usually means €20 and I could buy a used game for that....like Lair......or Haze.......dot dot dot

Braid was better than many full priced releases I've played. Knowing how much I enjoyed it, I would've easily found it worth $60 if that's what I had had to pay.

CC would be the same if they'd ever fix the bugs. I cannot get a game to save for more than a few days. Whenever I boot back into the game there's like a 50% chance that all my progress has been reset and my characters are all back to level 1. It's happened 3 times in the last week and I've given up on it until they patch it. Nothing like jumping online with a buddy that's been playing co-op with me the whole time and having him with his level 40 characters alongside me with my level 1 characters even though we've played the same amount of time.

"players' space faring creatures will be able to beam down from their spaceships to explore new planets"

Why wasn't this there from the start? Is it really that hard?

be wary though, the red shirt creature that beams down is not likely to make it back

Why don't you ask the CEO of EA? And while you're at it, have him explain to us the reason why the additional cell parts and plant creater were included in the original version of Spore but not activated?

Not surprising in the slightest, and this along with the DRM is why I never bothered to buy Spore.

I might pick up the "Super Ultimate Deluxe II" edition in a few years, when it's cheap.

I regret blowing $50 on this game. These expansions sound like stuff that should have been in the retail game in the first place. It sure as hell could have used more content.

At the very least, water civilizations and/or tree/bird civ's. These latest "expansions" should be bundled for maybe $15 total. Missions? Give me a break. That almost breaks the basic tenant of the core game.

I'm so disappointed in Spore...I was so hyped about it, but I really don't like the space stage. I got to badge level 10, and it just just so anticlimactic. The Grox annoyed me to the point where I stopped trying to get to the center. Now I just play it when I'm really bored and the WoW servers are down. :P

*stares at torrents*

Yeah, I'm not paying for stuff that really should've been in the game from the start. They delayed it for ages and still managed to miss that kind of stuff out. This stuff should really be patched in for free or a small fee (not €20). So, thanks EA for making pirating seem a lot more reasonable... again...

Creepy and cute pack is a total ripoff but I'm actually looking forward to the space expansion. But seriously this should be update content, especially the $20 parts pack. I mean, it costs more than the creature creator FFS

Why are you all against maxis they are professionals and they know what are they doing. BTW Spore is great but if it is too expensive for you, who said you have to buy it. I bought galactic edition and it's worth of 20K expansions. So you gamers who like only bloody and action games YOU ALL SUX!!!

it's possible to send angry e-mails to the CEO's of big company's, if you can find out what the e-mail sructure fo their company is. for example, in the Halton Region school system all the teachers e-amils (and i mean ALL) are; last name, first initial of first name @HDSB.ca if one of you guys did some digging i bet it would be easy to send an e-mail right to the CEO of EA... instead of complaining uselessly on a random neverending discussion board. just saying.
