Give iiiiiiiiinnnnnn.

I did. But I did it for the best of reasons, which unfortunately I do not have the time or space to provide here.


I've come to the conclusion that Morrowind was quite a bit better, mainly because of the attention to detail and the considerably wider range of characters. And Morrowind will work on a regular Xbox!

I didn't want it for the game design so much as for the size of the world and for the the fact that I'm a no-'count "graphics tart". But now, thanks to backwards compatibility, I can try Morrowind too one day.


Doesn't Gughunter's PC suck? =p

Suck? That would be a grossly unfair term to use for a computer that's served me loyally and reliably since June 1999.


If you read the blogs on IGN, you'll find out that only one member of the staff has an Xbox 360 that did not break down.

That's why I got the service agreement. If it breaks, I take it to the store, hand over the bad one, and receive a shiny new one.


Yes, it would be wrong, because the PC version is automatically better.

If your PC is hooked up to a 32-inch screen in your living room, then yes, it's probably better.


The way our single player content we create is silently sent out across the net and distributed to other people's universes?

Sure, what could go wrong with content provided by anonymous strangers? Just have a good thesaurus handy so you can name all those planets with oddly similar civilizations: Planet of the Wangs, Planet of the Tallywhackers, Planet of the Johnsons, etc.

The first thing that popped into my head when they mentioned sharing of buildings and a recommendation system... 'We recommend you try this: [insert penis shapped building]' 'Even games think I am gay...'

Anywho, my 19" LCD works great for me. I could also connect it to my 47" big screen with DVI, but I'll keep my LCD.

Scoobert, Gughunter, we need to get out more. The moment I saw the vid I also thought "I'm going to find a planet filled by hopping, drooling, predator-penises".

I'm already going to create a planet with mass penis people.

It's just cool.

Since I'll be playing it on my Wii...it'll be fun. =)

Hahaha.

I dunno, would Spore be a Wii game? It'd fit well with the whole intuitiveness- and the WiiConnect24 would be good, but I dunno. I'd quite like the mouse for very precise stuff.

Using your computer as an excuse not to play Oblivion is an ignorant thing!
Most computers (that I know of) can play Oblivion with the Oldblivion plugin.

Elation: At this current time, Spore is only being developed for the PC, mainly because the developers feel that it is the only platform that allows for enough dynamics for the massive amount of data and data types that are being used.

What makes it anything like a Wii game? Thats like saying "That rock looks different, it belongs in this box for different apples.

Spore is very intuitive of what the players want, but what does that have to do with the Nintendo? From the reports, most of the Wiimote's controls where less than intuitive. Interesting, but not intuitive.

It doesn't. Just that Hell Ramen said:

I doubt that; Wiimote is meant to be intuitive for the very same reason your granda sucks at traditional console FPSs. ;p

If I ever get Xbox Live -- which doesn't seem very likely -- I'll let all the BYONDers know!

I love you Darke, more then i did before. I never knew about Oldblivion and i was going to have to wait forever to get a new powersorce for my kickass computer

Trust me Gug, you wouldn't want lots of BYONDers nagging to play with you all the time. Ask Sharp.

MajinHellz is already too much for him, Gunner.

Scoobert:

"Speculation that the game may be released for the Xbox 360 gained ground after an Xbox executive mentioned Spore, along with other games, when talking about innovative games for the 360 [5], though there had been another (pre-360 release) statement by Stephen Glicker. [http://www.gamingsteve.com/bl. Will Wright has expressed interest in Nintendo's Wii console, this could mean a port of Spore for Wii."
