Remembering Spore '05
Oasis:
Remember back when Spore, the game that was supposed to change the gaming world was this break through game about evolution? It was scientific, it had everything a gamer would want in a game like that.

But then, after the years passed, the game got "cuter" and more child friendly. Like Maxis was aiming it's gun at the child population of the world. It was Americanized.
I just wanted to have a nice little discussion about what could have been. And yes, this is 5 years old, but today is today, and it's not like talking about the past is this horrible idea forged on the gates of hell. So, friendly discussion, kick around Maxis and EA for ruining a good game, and such.
Aurion:
It's rather disappointing how much they watered down what could have been an awesome game.
Somewhat related, I'm still waiting for Maxis to give us a REAL Simcity 5, not this stupid Societies bullstuff.

Haha, exactly. The Current Spore is a pointless string of quests. I want a game that is more sandbox/nonlinear.

Galactic Adventures can be fun if you make your adventures with effort and time... not slapping 56 units of each team and call it a war, and then wonder why it doesn't work because you forgot to assign teams to both sides.
