Spore Fail =(
Artimecion \| 3:50 AM on 09.05.2008	13 comments

Bah, so got Spore Galactic Edition and there are some server issues resulting in SPOREFAIL ZOMG.

There seems to be a worrying trend with new games with online features/requiring online verification with the servers totally failing during the launch days. Are games companies so short-sighted that they can't predict a higher-than-usual number of people trying to log in/register ?

Anyway, I guess not having some of the onliney bits isn't too bad.. the game seems pretty damn fun!

Not much of a post really.. more of a musing!

Hooray for legitimate purchases being harmed by the copy protection that pirates break anyway! YAY!

Krow

YAY!

I think it's more a combination of not testing things no such a large scale prerelease (cop out excuse) and not wanting to spend a fortune on adequate hardware/software until they have sold x number of copies and the game is a certifiable hit.

LOL! that means no picky uppy for me

So this post is just saying you have no right to complain about Spore since...it isn't even "officially" out.

If I were to get L4D a week before it came out, I wouldn't expect the online part to work perfectly at all.

Yay spore, lets travel to other peoples planets and look attheir race of oversized walking penis'. Then go to another planet and look at THEIR race of over sized penis'. ETC ETC.

Blindsidedpork - I don't understand? It was commercially released today, popped to GAME to pick it up!

I thought this came out on the 7th? Are you living somewhere else like Austrailia or the UK?

@Holyetheline

Dude it says right on his profile "Location: UK"...

Artimecion

ah, I wasn't aware that it isn't out elsewhere yet. I am indeed in the UK. Big issues with the Galactic edition byt he looks of things - the standard edition seems to work fine, but GE keycodes seem to be invalid or just not recognised by the servers..

It's fun for the first 2 stages, then it becomes a shitty RTS

balth

I would like to play it, but it does not work on mah machines. Sporefail indeed.
