Was Darkspore good? - Asriel Dreemurr - 12-30-2015
I am considering using a character from Darkspore. Since the servers will be shut down next March, I will use gameplay footage to create the moveset. But the question I want to ask was: What did you think about this soon-to-be abandoned title?

Never played it. I played a PC game called Spore... any relation?

It was a spiritual successor made by the same company and is considered by Wikipedia to be in the Spore series of games.

My, that brings back memories.
I remember it being middling, but not awful. I was too young at the time to critique it effectively, or to remember much of anything, but I don't remember the characters involved being too especially, well, characterized. Perhaps a brief blurb, but nothing that gave them much of a personality.

Spore... my love... my greatest disappointment. You never did live up to the potential... Your older Brother Sims strangled you in your bed at the age of three. Only two true expansions.

To Tom Marvolo: Exactly right. And same with all the spin-off console games.

Darkspore was one of the funnest games me and my friend played, truly a hidden gem. Granted we only played it for a few nights, but those few nights were hella fun.

Wish I could've gotten it. Is there any good gameplay footage of Darkspore?

It was like Spore in that you could attach stuff to a creature, but it was like Diablo in that this actually powered you up. You had a fair amount of customization with what you could make in it.
I was always kinda sad it died. It was an interesting idea in a genre that doesn't offer much in the way of those.

There is a distinct lack of god games, especially god games with some science behind it. I was hoping Spore would be a lot like the Creatures 1-4 series.
