So, I'm fairly impressed that nobody already talked about it on this forum since it seems to be fairly good !
Anyone tried the Beta? I've watched a video of the cynical brit about darkspore and it really made me want to go into it !
It looks like a mix between leagues of legends (or DotA), Spore (but it's daaaaaaaaaaark) and diablo !
Why a mix of those 3 ? From what I saw and what most poeple know :
Spore: The creature editor is back, with more awesomeness but less possibilities than spore ! It still looks great and especially less puddly than the first spore.
Diablo: Obviously it's an hack&slash in space, so maybe I should have compared it to Harbinger which I really loved but it looks like everybody else hated this game ! The music was really cool too IMHO.
DotA: well, this is probably the weirdest one but Darkspore will feature a 100 heroes with 5 or 6 habilities that you can combine with other heroes (since you handle a squad of 3 heroes). There's actually 25 heroes which will be declined in Alpha (original hero), Beta, Gamma and Delta... each with different appearances and one or two different skills from the original hero.
Also, each maps are separated instead of being a huge gaming world like diablo and the likes.
When I looked at the gameplay and the animations, everything seems to run pretty smoothly and much better than in spore. The 25 heroes seems pretty imaginative though not totally inovative... The game looks like it will have a strategic dimension to it with the squad you lead and how to choose the correct one and especially in PVP but it's centered around Coop of course.
Anyway, there's very good ideas on that game ! The only problem I see right now is that it is an EA game ! And EA is going to bother us with their stupid politics ! To see I guess !
Also, the pvp seems pretty limited, Deathmatch / team death... I guess I would have hoped for some CTF too or some kind of king of the hill too, Assault, etc... I mean the game would pretty much fit into for this and they just did a PVP is that MAXIS or EA 's fault? Will there be some other multi options? I hope so !!!
Is it worth the $50? Or should I wait 'til it drops into the $20 range.
Depends on how much you like action rpg's. I've played it for more than 30 hours now though (and only just now on 7-1,) and feel like I've got more than my money's worth.
I still play and it's pretty much the only I'm playing right now along with Terraria.
I'm slowly leveling (level 41) and it's damn hard ! Soloing is almost impossible and the difficulty is extra-hard.
But there's some cool poeple over there and some nice rushes to do. The battles become sometimes epic !
The devs are supporting the game quite well with patches and I think They read the complaints of players on forums and that's going to lead to a nice expansion in the near future, hopefully
We'll see... Anyone playing ?
I like the game, and I feel that it is easy to get into groups. Makes it simple for me, where I usually just solo, but there is no real reason to only solo any more as it really is simple to get some help. In any case, it is not that involved, just a quick jump in and destroy everything sort of game, but it is fun.
I'd rather that they actually tried to improve Spore.
Huge disappointment that one was.
