Actualy, its the exact opposite. I think the posters point is that it doesnt matter if Ben and his army of ravenous fans dislike the game, its if the game is worth playing that matters.That's right SD. You show well grounded independent thought who's boss. Remember, it's not if the game is good or bad. It's if it's popular. Baa.
But you tried to have an origional thought, so i gotta give you some points for effort.
As someone else pointed out, you cant beat games like that.And spore DOES suck! Wake up and smell your own semen stained pants, fanboys! I've been playing Sim games for years, and I've beaten ones I doubt many of you even knew existed. I wouldn't piss on Spore if it was on fire, largely because I'm probably the one with the gasoline and matches.p
But the real problem with this post is that the poster comes off as a raving Sims fanboy who doesnt like the new direction of Spore. Try to turn down the fanwank a little next time.
And he also fails in that he has revealed a pyromaniac tendancy.
REMEMBER KIDS- Mr. Yahtzee might be able to pull off the raving misanthrope bit for comedy, but most people who try it (Hitler, for example) dont come off nearly as funny.
You have a point, but my personal take is to not blame games themselves for market hype. In fact, i take it one step further by not paying much attention to hype. The last six months before its release the only thing i would accept about spore was the information on its release date, which i took with a grain of salt.Hype hype hype. If this game wasn't hyped, it wouldn't be hated. Simple as that. But we had to hear for MONTHS and MONTHS that this game was going to change the way we thought about gaming, it was the second coming, yadda yadda. This is a problem Spore brought on itself. That's why I have no sympathy.
