The_B: Yeah - it was there in my news feed before I went to work tonight (also a UK person) - unfortunately can't check now I'm actually at work, so no idea if it's dissappeared.

Also Tom: I'm suprised there hasn't been some kind of PCG Sim-cast after the success of the Spore one - surely PCG readers would love to share their creations with each other? (Although again, can't physically check how that would be possible, if it is.)

Thomas "Padre" Lawrence: Man, this stuff is going to be awesome to Audiosurf, especially stuff like "Tumbler" which utterly changes tempo several times through.

Jason L: Annoying and tiresome, actually.

Jason L: I usually surf graphicsless, so I thought this was going to be a sombre callback to a certain cube in the first game - a holy war over a Temple of Lost Innocence, or something. But that is cute.

Pentadact: One on one, at close range, he's definitely got a lot of control. I'm talking about the more common situation of being up against a huge concentration of enemy players at medium-long range, any one of whom can dodge your rockets and most of whom can survive a direct hit. The fire output of a bunch of guys is enough that you can't afford to wait around and plant a shot where your last victim will land, and at reasonable range it wouldn't reach him in time to ensure a hit anyway.

These are the situations where a lot of Soldiers think they should charge forward to start getting some actual kills, but my experience suggests it's more effective to be content with scoring occasional, partial damage on a few people to build up your crit chance, which is when you start really causing carnage in the awkward, dangerous, sub-optimal situations you spend most of the game in.

muffin: Ok when the first talk from Will Wright came out along with him showing the audience the game...it looked amazing!!
However when i bought the game they had changed soo many things...n its worse now!
In the creature stage there is no real hierachy of the food chain...i found myself just annihalating everything in my path! which got a bit boring after a while....

The amoeba stage is too short..and there are not enough parts to unlock!
The space stage gets very annoying after a while as i spent ages flying to a distant area...then sudenly a virus breaks out on my home planet and i have to fly all the way back just to kill 6 creatures!!!! WTF
it just became a bit boring after a while and unexciting...

However it was a good attempt at a fun, interesting, and chalenging game by Will Wright. You have to start somewhere??
