NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[French Ninja]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


I'm currently watching it without sound (I'm at the school library) but wow that was hilarious.

 

[jondy]

oh, lols.

 

[Tarkus]

Spot on, as usual. Except this time I don't like the game enough to ignore the bad things

 

[Rizzo]

He's right, but I was hoping he was gonna bring up the enoying colonies who keeps sending you for help.

I wonder if he actually played it...

 

[lefty]

I'm a little shit!

 

[Tyguy]

i dont even know if im going to play spore again....it just gets so.....eh

 

[Escaep]

Can anyone else not get onto ZP?

 

[VictimOfScience]

Too funny. Glad I didn't buy this game yet. Sad though that it is not nearly what I was hoping it would be.

 

[Escaep]

Can anyone else not get onto ZP?

It works now. :bounce:

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Too funny, and too true

 

[Qonfused]

I'm a little shit!

Lol'd hard at that.

 

[Asuka]

Giggle.

 

[hot564231]

Gigglie goo.

 

[Wanted Bob]

Made me laugh as usual. I agree with him on most of the things (violence is way easier than being friendly, and each stage save for space seems like a watered-down version of great games in the same genre). I still love it, though I guess it was enough to disuade him.

 

[Leto]

I bought it

 

[Naph]

I'll say what I say to everyone who asks me if I'm getting the game or not.

The first few minutes of the game will be spent with "Wow this is fun"
But when the novelty runs out, like it did for Sims, you'll pretty much realize you've wasted $150.

 

[Acepilotf14]

I don't know why, but I'm just hyped to get back into the space phase. Something in me just makes me want to play more...

...where the hell are you buying your games?

 

[Naph]

Oh yeah, Brisbane is in Australia.

 

[Operational]

Woah, so games are $50-80 more expensive in Queensland than in Victoria?

 

[Jintor]

And NSW?

This review was funny, but because I had actually played the game he reviewed beforehand I found myself just nodding and going 'yeah' instead of rolling on the floor in stiches of laughter.

 

[FishBulb]

Wha? I saw Spore for $79 in JB.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Well, that's put me off a bit (more).

Also, is EA going all-out with the marketing for Warhammer, or what? Last few weeks they've had the entire opening cinematic slapped onto the end of Zero Punc. That's some pretty decent exposure right thar. :|

 

[nurizeko]

Thats because your far away from everything, Australia is pretty far off any self respecting shipping routes.

Thats why your ancestors were sent there BTW.

In all fairness that cinematic is awesome.

Oh and EA is only publishing it, so if what we've seen from Mythic is anythnig to go by we should get a half decent game.

If I ever had the chance to punch you, I'd take it, but instead I'd kick you in the face.

Oi, violent drunk is a Scottish/Irish stereotype...or is it Aussie to?....maybe violent drunken behavioru is just an anglophone thing. :|

Lucky for me my state wasn't founded by convicts.

Pro-tip: Australia is next door to Asia. So that's China, Taiwan and Japan all in arms reach. Hmm.

And Scotland is considered a wind blasted land on the edge of civilization, but its actually quite pleasant, and right next to the North sea, with all its oil and neighbouring countries.



I was joking, poking fun, the fact you haven't once countered with the banterous jab of Pom is rather dissapointing.

 

[Cormeh]

LOL AIBURDEEEEEEEN

Hmmm. Can't get onto ZP just now. :/

 

[nurizeko]

Lol Unable To Connnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I'd be more "scotts = misers" than Prisoner of Her Majesty. That's for the Brits, surely.

My license plate is pom007

Being a citizen and in residence of and in the UK, I can dare say that I am British, at least thats what my passport says.

Awesome.

Oh, for sure, I wasn't criticizing them at all. I only said EA because they're the money behind the operation, and probably largely in charge of marketing. Also, I can say from first hand experience that Mythic have indeed delivered a fine game.

But anyway, not gonna derail, we already have a thread for that.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--

 

[Musk]

I liked it but it didn't seem as funny as some of the other games he's reviewed (eg Too Human ).

 

[Jintor]

But Scots are like a seperate race altogether. Like elves and dwarves. And ents.

 

[Letters]

I thought this one had the potential to be his funniest yet... disappointing! Just like the game! I still can't believe how shitty Spore turned out... they just haaaad to do the "stages" instead of smooth evolution throughout...

 

[Cormeh]

Everytime I have to register with something I always look for Scotland under "country of residence".

It's never there.
