Creature stage was the best. Followed by space because, quite frankly, I love blowing shit up and abducting aliens from their own worlds. One empire is full of pricks and wouldn't trade with me so I decided war was needed. Too bad one ship isn't as awesome as an armada or I would've kicked their asses by now.

You know two things really piss me off about Spore (and don't get me wrong, I love the game):

1) ONLY. ONE. OF. MY. OWN. SHIPS. So they can clone my ship, but they can't make TWO? I mean, give me a break! The warmongering races are at war with me, so all I have are cowardly allies who I'm probably going to buy out later on down the track, so having allied space craft works only as quick cannon fodder and not much else.

2) CONSTANT ATTACKS/ECO DISASTERS. Give me a friggin' break! There's NOTHING worse than going half way across the galaxy only go find out that one of my core worlds is facing eco disaster or is under attack by pirates. I mean it's not even realistic to have a core world under attack by pirates. Fringe worlds, okay, yeah, I can understand that. But the system next door to my homeworld? Bullshit.

I have no idea how this game expects me to explore when it throws a constant river of shit at the very heart of my empire. At the very least they could have let the vehicles produced by the colonies still retain their weapons instead of just becoming heavily armed spice transports!

Yep.
Call of Duty 4 is still fun. On my Xbox 360. Where spore isn't. But that's okay. Because I have Call of Duty 4. On my Xbox 360. Not my PC.

The most realistic consumer wargame was already released. It was called Operation: Flashpoint and it spawned VBS1 along with the decidedly less-awesome Armed Assault. More to the point, it wasn't a rehash of World War 2. I mean, seriously, who the hell is still playing WW2 games? Even CoD finally got the message and moved on.

In saying that, I love their change there: "Now the player is viewing the squad as more of a weapon, rather than a squad." Yeah, because that's exactly what people are: weapons. Can't help but think they missed the point here...

EDIT: Their gore is also off the mark in some instances, to the point of being SoF-style over-the-top...

Lots of fun building half the map with farms with the pop cap hack. You couldn't even move a soldier without it attacking a farm, and tremendous lag in multiplayer games.

I see what you're getting at but....no. Not like SoF.

That shit is over the top. Plus, it just looks stupid. At least the BiA gore is entertaining to watch if you're into that sort of thing.
Eh.

What a terribly inaccurate depiction of an M16's firepower. That's like hunting an elephant with a BB gun inaccurate.

But that's the thing... they're all going "Well our game is SUCH A REALISTIC game, and it's like... SO REALISTIC. And realism. Plus five!" yet grenades are tearing torsos in half.

Also they're not that far off the old SoF games when it comes to limbs flying off; we'll ignore Payback because that "game" just shouldn't be mentioned, period. The only major difference is that they haven't shown a shotgun tearing a leg off.

BiA is my kind of game.
Photorealism is my thing. If it looks real enough, I like it, regardless if it's a .22 bullet tearing a limb off or a grenade barely scraping skin.
