It started, what, 2 years ago? Definitely a massive amount of hype on this game. Isn't the environment supposed to scale to your creature? How is that supposed to be challenging? Oblivion didn't do so well with that idea.

If the hype had started about 10 months ago this game would be absolutely killer in terms of sales. It's been an eternity since we heard anything about the game, though, and I think that's going to hurt the sales a lot. I was a zombified fan when I first heard about it, but as year after year went with little or nothing new on the game shown I lost faith. It's still not due out until Q4, isn't it? Or was it Q2?

The last update I read was second half, most likely 4Q for Christmas sales. I'd like to have it for summer, it looks like a fun game that I'll likely buy. I just hope that UT 3 doesn't come out at the same fucking time along with quake wars and any number of other games that we get blasted with come Christmas.

It's annoying as hell when games release information so early. Project Offset did the same thing. And it's gone without updates for atleast a year.

So many good games on the horizon, really bored with what is currently out, nothing good enough to even take the time download a torrent of.

It's not their fault that a lot of you faggots have ADD. Early hype damaging... Ridiculous. Do you think they really spent any money hyping up the game the past 2 years?

How many other games do this? What about Age of Conan? Vanguard? World of Warcraft?

It's the internet. It's so easy to put out information nowadays that of course you're going to hear about brand new things being developed. When it goes without updates for a while, I don't see how it hurts them when they're steadily continuing to work on the project.

Ok listen. Marketing people get paid to keep a product's profitability maximized. Sure, Spore's advertising thus far hasn't cost any advertising budget, but you know what, they've lost sales potential. It's a mistake any two ways you look at it.

{OT} Is it Sony's fault consumers won't pay $600 or the consumers' faults?{/OT}

Is it any suprise that gameplay-wise the two of the above games you mentioned were way over-hyped then? (IE, the gameplay is mediocre)

The way the producers of spore were talking about it a year ago I was under the impression we were approaching impending release. Now I just don't care.

Much like HL2's episodic content, it used ot be my favorite game, but the episodic crap ruined it.

I love the idea of other players' content being uploaded into your own universe, but the moment I discover the planet of the shitting dick-nipple tranny beasts I'm sending that thing back for store credit and taking a long cold shower.

But not before I nuke the planet from space, of course.

It just gives me flashbacks of Black and White.
