The DRM rapes you.
After the Tribal Age the game gets extremely tedious.
Lack of depth.
Too short, beat it in a manner of hours.
It's an EA game.

It just feels like the game lacks depth. I was expecting so much more from the earlier stages of the game. Mostly in the creature stage. I mean, really, all I can do is extinct an entire species(aka kill three) or make them an ally? I remember discussing it with Kaninen the day it came out I think it was and pretty much everything he said or we talked about is true for me. The game is just so simple that it gets boring after a few hours. Once the creature stage is over I felt like the game lost all of its intimacy.

Even the space stage which could have been great was a total bust.
Playing on hard as a carnivore I was constantly flying around my empire fighting off the attacks of empires that I could have sworn I just wiped of the face of the game. It was so tedious and time-consuming that I still havent had a chance to play around with any of the cool terraforming gadgets I picked up so far.

I want to vent more but Im so tired Im not even sure if what I just wrote is coherent, so I guess Ill pick this up tomorrow ~_~/~

Agreed got the "God of *something" achievement for playing cell to space in one sitting (like 6-7 hours)

I'm going another round just for the cell, creature and tribal stage

I want to kill an epic (did in civ stage with my stealth bombers lol)

Game is too easy and lacks depth imo

Creature creating is probably the best part of the game but the gameplay is a little weak

there should be more to do in the creature stage. killing all the other tribes weaker than u gets a bit boring.

I'm still trying to figure out why this game was in development for so many years.

Because of the huge variety of what you can do? Honestly, I don't know...

But I agree, far to easy, beat it in one sitting, while unlocking all the unlockable features...

I play it with my daughter and we haven even got of the tribal bit.

She chooses all the changes of the creature -
"honey i think we need a mouth.."
"no, its going to be alright"

the economic path is the way to go. (whichever one is in the middle)


actually lemme rephrase that- the economic path is the easiest and yields the least amount of challenge

Broski's... I too thought this qame sucked after the first 5 hours of gameplay and being bored in space age...





















then I found it...









...MOTHAR FUKKIN CHEATZ.

They increase the fun easily by 5 times over like they take the creature part restriction off and they have one for money for space age which means you can do what ever you want. Cheats to unlock all the planet sculpting tools. Honestly this is the best part now.
