Spore Creatures Outnumber Real Ones

[Zemalac]

I think they're weeding all those genital creatures out. Didn't the article say that the central server was cataloging and rating the creatures?

 

[Anarchemitis]

That didn't take long.

And if you think about the diversity of shapes hat some people could consider Phallic, wouldn't that be impossible for the program to differentiate? Names is fine, but what you're suggesting would take artificial intelligence

It may, I don't know how the game works, but shouldn't there also be a way for them to program a lock on certain builds? I mean, it'd be like blocking the ability to make a round creature with square legs.

Well, then we'd have the problem of innocent creatures being banned because the AI could easily misinterpret a Pencil Monster as a Penis Monster.

But unless you're stupid enough to post your P-Men on the Spore website then keep your Cock Goblins in your own inventory please.

Overpopulation eh? Guess it's time to spay and neuter.

-and Necroswanson, whether your intention is for good or evil - limiting people's freedom in a game completely about freedom, is a bad idea.

Hell I would be fucking pissed if I couldn't name a character Satan, that's just stupid.

It's rather obvious you haven't tried the Creature Creator. Download the free version, try it out - I think you'll start to understand why your suggestion is pretty unreasonable.

There are ways to encode games to where certain combinations of items letters and numbers will not be allowed to be saved. Such as in Soul Calibur 3 you could not create a fighter named Satan, however you could have Jesus.
It's not the fact that it's possible, it's the pride they take in it that makes them douche bags.

You're pretty far off the mark with this, actually. Calling the Spore creators douchebags for providing a flexible software tool and the freedom to use it doesn't make sense on any level.

As for your suggestion that giant penis monsters be locked out via software restrictions, I'm going to join with Virgil and suggest you actually download the Creature Creator demo and try it before you get too firmly behind that suggestion. Unless they arbitrarily ban every long, vaguely dong-shape creature produced - which would doubtless produce a huge uproar of its own - there's just no way to make it happen.

I mean, we're talking about a mostly young male demographic, they'd be playing...

I won't finish that sentence.

Sorry, I can't stop laughing at what stompy said.
I mean, EA must be proud to have 30,000 different penis monsters under their belt. It's very impressive.

-and the fact that it's on sarcasticgamer.com - they are like "The Onion" for News, but, they aren't actually trying to fool anyone...I think.

 

[Asehujiko]

Is it just me or do all the creatures in the promotional screenshots look 10 time more advanced then what the SCC can do? And then there's the size difference as well.

 

[Saskwach]

A hoax? Damn, I was really psyched. When the religious nutjobs come out I start making the popcorn.

It takes a lot more time for a new species to be created than a phallic embarassment to be created in Spore, so something like this could only be expected.
