As a teen, there was a brief period where I thought that 5 Gum actually gave you full body hallucinations.

What about the rest of y'all? Any ads capture your imagination only to disappoint you? I mean more than usual.

    SPORE oh my GOD

    It actually was supposed to be good. They nuked it. The alpha version was probably better than release. You were tricked by the marketing because it straight up lied and they dumbed the game down intentionally despite internal controversy.

    • Animal abilities are based on attached feet, eyes, and beaks etc. of varying points. Legs arms necks and tails literally do not matter. They were actually going to matter. The body design would have actually mattered.
    • Once you hit the space stage, planets are colonized by shooting fucking nukes and terraforming missiles. That's fucking it.
    • You don't go back and play the cellular stage to evolve the right kind of animal to terraform a planet
    • You don't go back and play the animal or tribal stages to help create specific types of alien allies
    • You don't go back and play the city stage to consolidate power and allow your allies to become spacefaring

    You just play a 4 hour long fucking minigame and then run around for 100 hours shooting missiles and upgrading a ship. The entire game is fucking pointless.
