>SimCity Societies? Wow, a new SimCity game, I can't wait.
Game was so broken I couldn't even uninstall it

Never heard of that game, what was wrong with it?

It was a dumbed-down and even simpler version of the new SimCity that ran like garbage on release. That and Spore are what turned me off of EA.

>Super-hyped for Spore.
>Literally a super dumbed down version of what we were promised.
>Stop trusting EA, because they fuck up good games, but are totally okay with making cookie-cutter sports games every fucking year.
>Dead Space comes out.
>Ok.jpg
>Dead Space 2 comes out.
>"Holy fuck, are they finally redee-"
>Dead Space 3 comes out.
>pic related.

Why was spore hyped in the first place?

>there are people who were hyped up for both spore and no man's sky

this isn't funny anymore

Because the preview footage was a lot more different than what we got and it looked fucking amazing.

Not to mention most of us were a lot more naive back then. I can't speak for everyone but I didn't become cynical and started avoiding hype until after Spore came out.

I bought a fucking new computer so I could run it.

>tfw never got hyped for Spore or NMS

>got hyped for spore
>loved it
>loved space stage the most
stay mad Sup Forums

EA, Maxis, and Will Wright were still good back then. They promised a much deeper game, and then undelivered while putting some horrible DRM on it.

>I bought a fucking new computer so I could run it.

>That sinking feeling when I played as I slowly realised I had been lied to

>tfw you read all the things that were left out of KOTOR 2

>got promised combat that involved biting and dragging your prey
>it's fucking MMO combat

>Saints Row The Third
>Skyrim
>MGS V
>Fallout 4
>Uncharted 4

Never get hyped

Isn't all that stuff available in the Steam workshop?

You know real pain?

I have never been as let down as I was then.

I owned the Xbox version. I heard there was Restoration Project that was going on for about a decade.

What's worse?

Failure to live up to hype or total cancellation?

I fucking read about the restoration project in a game magazine a few years back.

Total cancellation. Definitely.
Failing to live up to hype can at least leave a fun game, like Fable.
Cancellation ruins dreams man.

>all of those people that are probably considering suicide now that no Man's Sky is shit

We all have to learn somewhere

I was never hyped for Spore because unlike Sup Forums I was as intelligent, aware, and informed as I am now. The same understandings and knowledge that assured me Nu Male's (Don't) Buy would be SoA (Shit on Arrival, for you kids out there) are what I had with me when Spore was in developement and came out. Of course, if you think the NMS tears are delicious you should have been around when Spore came out, there's no comparison.

*tip*

Two of those are pretty fucking good.

I always liked playing bounty hunters in video games. It really bums me out that Bethesda cancelled it.

>Go as omnivore
>You eventually become a space jew for no reason

This but unironically

it's mindboggling how people get legit hyped for obviously terrible shit

i really thought it was gonna be the best game ever.
My mom even ordered 2 copies of it so my brother and i could both play at the same time on our computers


I really enjoyed it right up until you got to space and instantly got demolished by invincible space pirates.

...

>Bought Bioshock Infinite day 1
Haven't been burned by a triple A release since. What a shit heap.

>Was on Sup Forums when spore was released.
>Remembered all the hype beforehand
>Remembered the character creation tool that was sold before the game launched and all the stuff Sup Forums made in anticipation (many of them being penis monsters).
>All the disappointment and hate the game got at launch, similar to NMS.

I never bought it, and I feel like I dodged a fucking bullet on it. I fell into the Fable hype and still regret it to this day.

>bought duke nukem forever balls of steel edition
>but then I remember my roommate that bought THREE copies of Brink, all on different platforms

holy shit

he bought it on PC but his laptop couldn't run it
so he bought it on PS3 but then it yellow-lighted a week later
so finally he bought it on 360

I remember when we traded them in
GS has a rule against trading in more than one copy of a game, unless they're on different platforms

>brink

wow i still remember the brink release shitstorms everyday here in 2012

The thing that really saddens me about Spore is that it's the game that pretty much killed Will Wright's career as a game designer. After it came out, Will Wright left Maxis shortly after and never produced another game again. Peter Molyneux still kept coming back to more Fable games even after the first one was labeled as a disappointment. Spore was literally the last real game Will Wright was involved with.

Talk about a fall from grace.

>i got hyped for Spore
>I also got hyped for Fable 2

My teenage years were the worst

>wasn't paying attention to any media surrounding Sporr
>watched friend playing it a bit
>hey that's pretty neato
>bought it
>enjoyed it

I'm still mad. I will never not be mad.

At least if it's canceled you can imagine what could've been and have that idealized image of the game in your head.

...

Both have the same end result. Total cancellation results in some other shitheap later down the line attempting to either revive the name despite having nothing to do with the original project for a quick cash grab, or just nostalgia bait without truly understanding what made the source material good in the first place.
