Spore Expansion: Galactic Adventures

I think we've been here before... Lots of nice pictures, some good hype, nothing as far as anything meaningful. From the video it looks more like just another editor tool, which adds kinda a side game, not one that fixes or improves existing gameplay... Which is kinda 90% of the problem with the current game. It has you doing these downloaded missions for usercreated stories, but probably does not allow this sort of thing to be interfaced directly with the main game and the whole "exploring new planets" aspect of it. Furthermore, as the stories are user created, a good many of them will probably be much like most of the downloaded content, either unfinished worlds, or worlds which lack any particular value. In essence, rather than create actual content for their game, they have just given us an event editor with some tools. Sorry, not worth forking over more money for.

Think about it for a moment, they are trying to make this editor simple enough for anyone to use... Isn't that kinda where the existing editors and for the most part, the game, went wrong? A simplified editor to me just sounds like a mistake, especially where game design is concerned (since that is essentially what players will be doing). Either you have ease of use, or you have capability... very rarely both. Just call me very skeptical. Might really want to wait a month or two to read all those comments about the expansion before coming back to this game.

It's just the matter of the boredoom that owns gameplay, there's nothing to do so they had to invent some crap for money. Not to mention that exploring other planets is a real news (not).
Adventures without any essence of fun, it will be most likely "conquer da freakin planet" so nothing new, most people ain't made to make new missions, they have already flooded inet with ugly creatures also, so you have about 65 millions of creatures to have fun with, great...

They should make player's fleet or deploying troops, so game wouldn't be that boring, since im the only one who can conquer the galaxy cause allies and my empire can't kill five animals on the planet... they have to call me millions light years away from the planet to save the ecosystem...

I thought that game would be something nice, but im really suprised, im not even going to spend any money on the expansion unless it's going to improve gameplay with usefull things.

Sorry for my English but i really had to say something about this game.

Which is why they let you do that in the upcoming expansion.
