Well....I can't believe you have said this. This is EXACTLY what I first thought of the game (I especially liked the comparison of the ''Simcity firetruck'' to the ''spice saving pirate attack''). I completely agree with you.
People here, I think, still don't believe how much of a disappointment this game was and the really $hity thing about it is WE WILL NEVER HAVE THE GAME WILL WRIGHT WANTED US TO HAVE!

And don't give me all that $hit about necroing because I'll SPORE the hell out of you.

well I'm sorry I made some of the Sporum members cry if they read this. I have learned my lesson....

(no wonder Spore is still popular. the kiddy casual players actually frown upon you if you disagree with Spore

) sorry for being an individual and saying something barely looked like a ''threat''. oh yea, by the way, i was being sacrcastic, if you havent noticed

I'm suprised Maxis hasn't hunted him down and killed him yet....

This thread is from September of last year. That makes this, in my eyes, a NECRO!

So can we not persist in this?

Mflux, please check out my Better Spore thread: http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/40543.page . I would like you to add your ideas.

I'm thinking this thread won't bring him back or get his attention, but it sure will get the attention of everybody in this section who loves to shriek "NECRO!"

It was kind of a silly reason to wake this old rag, and if you want to add his ideas to your thread in feedback, I'd say go for it, just credit him in case he cares.

As for the rest, every programmer in the world lacks family time on demand, sleep when they want it, and management and marketing who they can boss around.

The truth is, in 40 years around this programming for a living; marketing presses management, who mostly try to balance not killing their staff against what marketing pushes the CIO into supporting.

Programming is a tough job. And it's a job with a deadline, shrinkwrapped or otherwise. You learn ways to deal with it, or you find another job.....

Most art - for - money jobs are like that. Ask and architect or a logo designer.
