And the shape would have no effect on the planet's orbit, since at those distances and with the friction from cosmic particles being negligible, it's pretty much going to act as a point mass no matter what shape it is. The only real problem with living on a cube is, since gravity will still pull to the centre and not the surface normal, the entire landmass is covered with eight massive mountains, meaning a great variance in the thickness of the atmosphere.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/8914/101018.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/8914/101018.page GMT

It's not about style. I could give hang all about style. I care about gameplay. The current gameplay is a dress-em-up, not anything emergent about the rules at all. That's what I care about. This focus on appearance tells me they aren't going to make gameplay any more interesting. They see the market as being about making pretty things, as if that's what made SimCity or the Sims that interesting in the first place. If the Sims was simply about dress up dolls following scripts, it would not have been interesting. It was about making that Kirk and Spock, winding them up, and seeing if they did follow the slash fanfic, or became ruthless enemies who depressed each other into eventual death.

All of my creatures are, right now, exactly the same as yours with how they play in-game. Appearance means nothing. If your chair, by rights in its construction in an emergent ruleset, beat out my fieldmouse, I would be impressed and not incensed.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/8914/101089.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/8914/101089.page GMT

The point is the planet won't play any different than any others. It won't /act/ like a truly square planet, with the interesting physics that it might entail (essentially a sphere with eight really really tall mountains). If you were on the tip of one, by rights in physics you should be able to jump a lot farther, or possibly suffocate if the mountain pokes up through the atmosphere. If you drop water on them, it should stay in a sphere rather than go cubic...


But I doubt any of that interesting stuff will happen. It is there purely for looks, and won't add to gameplay interest. Like all of the new parts in the parts-pack. ]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/8914/101096.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/8914/101096.page GMT

Okay, I will argue with some over the square planets, but this is inflammatory, and not at all what I am about. You do not know me, my arguments on this board, or anything else about what I stand for.

Portal is /interesting gameplay/. The point in that is taking something simple and applying an emergent ruleset (a set of simple behaviors that interact in a complex way). Portal, aside from the portals themselves, behaves in a physics and self-consistent fashion, but otherwise is unbounded, which makes it fun to play with. It is a twist on the real world, which makes it inherently interesting to experiment with.

Sorry, but now you're just exaggerating in a vain attempt to justify your original complaining.

If you want to complain about the new patch, then complain about problems it's causing for you (if any). Complaining about a gameplay addition just marks you as someone who would complain even if they only listened to what you said and every patch had exactly what you wanted.

Again, somebody who doesn't really read what I say, here and elsewhere. My "exaggerating" is not really exaggeration. If this goes over and EA thinks enough people like it, they will focus more on adding appearance variety, and throwing out any meaningful change to gameplay. People will eventually bore of visiting the same main-sequence stars, so more colors and varieties will be added. And so it will go.

And, it is not a gameplay addition. That would imply some new rules, or something different would actually happen if you visited it, other than "You've found a storybook planet!"

I have lost any hope of improved gameplay, or a return to anything resembling complicated creature behavior. ]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/8914/101137.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/8914/101137.page GMT If this goes over and EA thinks enough people like it, they will focus more on adding appearance variety, and throwing out any meaningful change to gameplay.[/quote]

I'm going to wait on that. If it is what I fear, it will be adding your own flavor text to the same gopher missions and eradicate creature missions.

If it is what I hope, you can reward people with actual ship tools, cargo, and whatnot for missions completed, can give missions that have several options other than linear ones, give missions that are part of a long sequence that encourage you to set up and explore a region of space and interact more deeply with a species.

I'm tired of people trying to twist my words into something they want to argue with rather than what I'm saying.

The cube planets will be fun to look at. That's it. They won't have interesting physics, like if you were a creature on one you couldn't climb up one of the corners and glide down as if it were actually the mountain it would be.

They are more window dressing, and it is frustrating that window dressing is being given a front-seat while interesting gameplay or new gameplay is stuffed in the trunk.

And they are more evidence that EA thinks it is "done" with Spore. Add more parts, more editors, milk milk milk. No, sorry, can't spare time on making any of the phases more than a flash mini-game.

IMHO.. it just adds to the already beautiful engine.. no gameplay enhancment there. I thought it was going to be tools .. not actual cube planets.. what a disappointment. I, personally, would have had a ball with some new tools. but heck.. I played the game for many hours.. an still have yet to find them all.

All these eyerolls. tsk

I don't think cutesy is good. I don't care for cutesy. I didn't expect spore to be all science, despite the multiple times it's been stated.

I expected this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duzHn3n6ZUs

On one hand, we have binary stars and black holes and star systems that vary in composition. We have fractal planets with chaotic composition, a galaxy that truly varies and is potentially interesting at every turn.


Then we have a cube planet.


It is a sharp ninety-degree turn. And it's something that, had I known it was coming, would have warned me off from expecting much out of Spore.


I'm dogpiled now by people who, I can only assume, really like the idea of a cube planet, and take my criticism as somehow a personal attack.

As much as you don't care about my arguments, I actually care about yours.

I'm hoping Spore can be more than it is right now. But I don't have much to base any hope on.

To people who like the game as it is, I guess it's fine.

To me, it's more of the same thought process that drove Spore away from the toy-world philosophy: that original philosophy which gave us this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duzHn3n6ZUs

It means I wasted 80 bucks on a game that never was, and almost feels like a deliberate slap to anybody that really liked the 2005 demo. Or, actually, anybody that's been following Will Wright since the original SimCity, through SimAnt, SimLife, SimEarth, and even SimIsle...

I wouldn't mind cube planets if they were storybook-world rare. It'd even make sense if the Grox homeworld were a cube. ]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/8914/101424.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/8914/101424.page GMT
I just think that they are completely stupid.
And now my game wont work because of the patch, so I cannot observe such cube planets.

And yes, stop whining about whining.
The game sucks and thats my final conclusion.
And you cannot question me because I made a topic of awesomeness, the grox topic.
and because of that I am awesome, and deathy.
So no touchy.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/8914/101529.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/8914/101529.page GMT Cube planets are the new fad![/quote]

I got a call from my ISP saying that 2K games was going to file a lawsuit against me if I didnt stop "sharing" a pirated game, Civilization: Colonization.
Funny thing is that I downloaded it a month ago, and deleted it in one day becasue I was trying it, and it sucked monkeybutt.

Wow.

If you're not going to do anything constructive around here and you can't play your game, I don't see why you're still here.

I'd complain about them if I were you…
That or try to understand why they're there.

[quote]I don't think cutesy is good. I don't care for cutesy. I didn't expect spore to be all science, despite the multiple times it's been stated.

I expected this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duzHn3n6ZUs

On one hand, we have binary stars and black holes and star systems that vary in composition. We have fractal planets with chaotic composition, a galaxy that truly varies and is potentially interesting at every turn.


Then we have a cube planet.


It is a sharp ninety-degree turn. And it's something that, had I known it was coming, would have warned me off from expecting much out of Spore.[/quote]

90 degree turn? Oh, I see, 'cause spore was so realistic before the cubic planets, with the chocolate and cute terraforming tools and planets which have rocks perfectly shaped like pineapples. The cubes completely ruined this realism.

[quote]
I'm dogpiled now by people who, I can only assume, really like the idea of a cube planet, and take my criticism as somehow a personal attack. [/quote]

And the assumption was wrong.
I'm in no ways offended by you having a different opinions.
And you shouldn't take my opinions as a personal attack on you (not implying that you did or anything).

[quote]As much as you don't care about my arguments, I actually care about yours. [/quote]

Another assumption?

[quote]I'm hoping Spore can be more than it is right now. But I don't have much to base any hope on.

Tell me why a cubic planet is a good thing. [/quote]

Well I'm not making post about how awesome the cube planets are or whatever,
but anyways:
Cubic planets make the Spore universe a bit more diverse. It's a bit like extra storybook planets.

I don't think they're the most awesome addition I could imagine, but I'm glad they added something extra in the patch.]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/8914/103006.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/8914/103006.page GMT

That was just there because I thought it was kinda silly you said that, but okay, I'll admit that you might be right about that.

[quote]And by actually reading some of the posts I've written.

Please stop claiming that I don't read your post, while I obviously did.
It was especially clear in last post, in which I posted a reply to every single bit of your entire post.
You did this in one of your previous posts too:

[quote=Gritmonger]As much as you don't care about my arguments, I actually care about yours.[/quote]

These kinda non-arguments, kinda start to piss me off.
Instead of stating where I didn't read your posts correctly and correcting me on that, you're just claiming that I'm "twisting your words" or do not read your posts.
[EDIT]
If you have reasons to believe that I didn't read your post then you must be able to tell me,
"I already said here [i]*some part of an earlier post*[/i]", or something like that.
[/EDIT]

I mean, come on.. I'm taking the time to read your post and post a reply, and when I check back on this topic you just tell me that I didn't read your post?

And that's why I'll take a step back now and why this is gonna be my last reply on this particular subject.

If cubed planets are "okay," then why the heck do we have gas giants? Why don't we have green and pink stars? Why aren't gumdrops floating about, and why aren't stars shaped like big five-pointed stars?

Why isn't the universe populated by yellow moons, green clovers, pink hearts, and blue diamonds?

Expect the gas giants to be replaced by cotton-dandies: nebulae made of spun sugar! Perfect for your pink pony universe! And magic![/quote]

Dude, you're talking about cube shaped planets that have absolutely no effect on the game whatsoever.

You see what I mean? If you want a realistic galaxy, go get a telescope and look at some real stars.
