Spore has changed my view on gaming

[PirateClock]

are you fucking nuts

I bought a new gaming pc 4 months ago which set me back 1400â,¬ and i still prefer gaming on my 360.

I've encountered no bugs at all, on an XP using an integrated G-Force 6100.

Fair enough. I just heard buzz that people are encountering bugs.

Yes, it's going to cost more, but I mean, there's just so much more possibility with PC games, not to mention the raw power a personal computer has opposed to a console. Instead of dropping a few hundred dollars on every new console that comes out, you can just throw it into your PC and do all your gaming, all your browsing, all your tech work like flash and writing and shit like that, on one machine. You can mod games so much to your liking it won't even look like the original game sometimes. If it wasn't for mods, I would have run out of shit to do on my favorite games ages ago. They open up so many new possibilities.

And besides that, I'm a fan of games that don't transfer to consoles well, the biggest that come to mind are RTSes like Rome, HOI, Starcraft, shit like that.

That's my philosophy anyway.

Wouldn't getting a new video card and other such PC fiddle-faddle that you have to get cost the same as the next Xbox when it inevitably comes out? And at some point, won't you have to drop a grand or two on a new gaming PC when it inevitably can't take any more upgrades?

[Exclamation Mark]

inevitably can't take any more upgrades?

I don't think so, at the most the limiting factor is the drivers and if they've been coded for the OS or not, and that can get upgraded too.






Is that right?

[super0sonic]

I have been playing on vista and i have had no problems with spore. I bought the shiny Galactic Edition!!! Any hoo have you tried updating your Video card drivers.

In the way that I will never, ever pay for anything again that I can download illegally.

Thank you, EA games, for ruining it for everyone else.

You are a fucking cunt, EA did not make the game EA published it. also if you are going to start downloading illegally i hope you enjoy even more errors and crashes. you fucking dink.

So is GTA II omigod

But anywho I just managed to fix the problem and I have been playing for a solid 7 hours all through the night. It's 5am now and I think I'll go to bed. Not unhappy with my purchase.

Look at the release dates too

Yeah but it took a fair few years for GTA II to be put up for free, how long has it been for spoore ???


Safe to say I am glad I didn't pre-order my copy like I was going too.

[poopbutt]

It's not like a new console comes out every month. I prefer having a console which has the sole purpose of gaming so all I need to do to play is press the power button and play. Also I prefer sitting in the couch when I'm gaming! But everyone is entitled to their own opinion I guess

What's odd is my friend hasn't encountered any bugs with Spore and he's using Windows Vista.
He must be made of magic dust or something.
