How long shall we believe developers who lie us on daily basis and don't deliver their promises?

Go EA, PROMISE us another expansion pack with another bundle of UNBELIEVABLY GOOD AND EXCITING, WOW-I-WANT-IT-ALL feature list, and watch my money disappear in the dark... Somewhere far-far away from your pockets! =)))))
the robot chicken adventures are in the 'robot chicken adventures' sporecast, idiot! So don't call us a "naive believe-anything-and-get-hyped community!" For god's sake, just because there's something wrong with your computer/account/mentality, it doesn't mean you have to fly into a rage and insult us because we are optomists and enjoy playing a fun game, regardless of whether it's everything it said it was!

The original was cool, yes i could make something pretty and funny but all it's grand claims of "evolving" your species well null, all you did was whack extra bits on it that made it look cooler. The only stage where your choice of parts really had an effect was the cell stage (the best bit in the game).
And now they offer this? This tacky half arsed attempt to revitalise the game? No thanks it wouldn't even work as a stand alone game, the only reason it will sell copies is because it's got the spore artwork bolted in to it. This in no way improves the game at all, a game which had a lot of potential but really failed in all it promised.
1. it doesn't need to be solely about evolution, for instance we evolved from amoebas, and now we go on 'missions' or 'quests'

2. there is a parts pack called 'creepy and cute'. get it if you prefer parts to 1st person futuristic games.

3. It does work as a stand alone, though maybe not in the conventional way: you have to install spore, but you don't have to play a second of spore to do galactic adventures.

4. incase you didn't notice, spore has not failed at all. there are over 100,000,000 creations in the sporepedia and millions of people enjoy playing it, and of course this improves it! IT LETS YOU MAKE YOUR OWN WORLDS!

TheBlaDK, I do like some things about SPORE. I just don't like how Spore developers and marketing team approach their customers. First they advertise and make promises then deliver none or 0.005% of them. That's not how good businesses approach customers. You either do what you say, or just stop saying junk and start working. If you promise things and don't deliver them - people will start to lose trust of you. There was good tale about boy who cried 'wolf!'. I wish EA management to google it and get some eternal wisdom. =)
I refer you back to my comment about your first post. And by the way, they said they would make a fun game in which you make creatures and evolve them as you play. It is fun (for most people), you do make creatures (or as close as you can get to that on a computer), and you do 'evolve' your creatures (in the loosest sense of the world, e.g. adapting to your environment to improve the survival of your species).

But nonethless, NO-ONE can clearly tell where to get them or at leas how do they look like. Yes, you can create some mission and name it 'Robot Chicken' and probably get some popularity, but WHERE are original ones, I ask you? NOWHERE. And the news story tells us that they will come FOR GRANTED. And did I forget to mention endless pre-release videos, interviews and press-conferences, starting with the infamous 2005 video?
SOMEONE just did tell you where to find them, in the most obvious place possible, right in front of your nose! And that is SOMEWHERE, not "NOWHERE"!


Oh, and by the way, great job spore development team! galactic adventures is awesome, and the robot chicken adventures are fantastically fun and extremely funny xD
