I love how the evolution of spore as a game to the public went from "this will be amazing" to "this was a massive disappointment" to "internet cultural relic"
@@papapanders488 spores marketing had a lot of over ambitious claims and very promising tech demos of what would later be cut content. Promising the moon and delivering a turtle sandbox is much more common now in games media but it was new(er) back then and people got really upset. I had made my first ever built PC to run spore and felt a sting when a lot of what I was sold on wasn't in the game.
This is one of the few games I can say that I beat accidentally. At the galactic stage I conquered a huge swath of the galaxy around me, got bored with it, and decided to just head straight to the center of the galaxy with my unbeatable ship. I was completely caught off guard that getting there was the end of the game.
you can get there like half of the halfway through the galaxy stage... Your ship is trash? You just gotta be smart, those short ass cyborgs are anyway dumber than you
I didn’t even KNOW there was an ending. I hated playing the galaxy state for some reason, I think it might have been a little challenging for my child self who just could not be bothered lol
@@RokuroCarisu Indeed, beaten the game on Hard over the span of about 4 hours. The biggest bitch is you can't die in the Creature Stage because Spore will crash. Not to mention Tribal and Civilization Stages are a total bitch. Space Age is just a game of marketing and trading resources with another empire. Then once you have Interstellar Drive 5, stock up on a shit ton of energy and health packs, a few colony packs, and start moving to the Galactic Core. (The biggest hurtle is setting up a colony as close to the center as possible, because you WILL die several times. Just keep clicking so you're always in motion until you get to the Galactic Core because you're gonna have a shit ton of heat on your tail until you reach it.) Once you get there, boom, you're pretty much done with the story and can do fuck all until you get bored.
@@terryfuldsgaming7995 Not if you kite well enough. And if you have Shield, then you can just yeet cities with your Mega Bomb. The biggest hurtle was Capital worlds if you don't have shield, but once you take then without destroying the cities, then place down a spice storage module... *Sweats profusely* Just look at all that money. Your own Capital world is garbage, but everyone else can get 80 spice stored if you don't destroy any buildings. Say goodbye to your money problems.
Yeah, ive played spore since like 2009, never seen anything like that, maybe he has an unofficial version (aka anything other then physical or origin) but even then, the worse bugs I usually see is objects floating. The worst thing I ever saw was movement being weird, and trees violently swaying when you approach them, but I updated the game and it fixed it. I've never seen anything like he encountered.

@@stuglife5514 petition for them to remake the game with all the systems since we're all adults now? I'd be down, I hated spore as a kid but now it's one of my favorites, I think they messed up making it a "kids" game.

Honestly, my favorite stage is Civilization, even though it's debatably the hardest one depending on what you start as and what you're going for.
Honestly this was one of my first computer games and I’ve loved it every time I go back to it. Haven’t had the graphic glitches that you’re having in the cell stage either.
I’ve had it on my new computer. I looked it up and I guess it’s a problem with newer graphic cards and that also why when you die in creature stage the game crashes unless you press esc to skip the death cutscene. Not sure why
Is it just me and my *perfect* copy of Spore, or has that texture glitch Spiff keeps seeing, never once happened to me through my 4-5 years of owning the game?
I've never seen it either, but someone said it happens with recording software and someone else said it happens with certain graphic cards. I've recorded spore and never seen the glitch, but I'm gonna go check the videos to make sure.
I've had Spore for a good 11 years at this point, playing it on and off throughout those years in different hardware, recording my gameplay and uploading it on UA-cam. Never encountered this glitch either. The only glitch I remember encountering is BAD_DATA which I remember scaring the shit out of me as a kid playing the game.
Honestly I still enjoy this entire game. I think the space stage was my favorite being able to go from planet to planet cataloguing, and vaporizing entire species. Terraforming planets and watching creatures freak out as massive craters randomly from underneath them lol. Simply put, if you have no life and sink an unhealthy amount of time into this game, it actually gets really fun
My best strategy for dealing with enemy’s in that stage is what i call, the spaceballs strategy. Basically i just suck all of their air destroying all but one of their colonies then destroy the last one.
I have definitely done the "kill the low-tech species and take their planet" strategy... it's especially tempting when you find a T3 planet with one of the rare kinds of spice, and those tribes are the only thing standing between you and the sweet, sweet tea money...
What you should do is monolith them and then take over the planet once they are uplifted, and then take the planet over, which is a high teir homework’s instead of just a T3 world

The screen flash you get when changing colours is because it gets glitchy when you record the game itself. If you do screen capture instead of game capture, it works fine.
I remember I would always go omnivore in cell stage, then use the omnivore ability in the creature stage - summon flock - to make easy friends with Rogue species, which are almost always absurdly op. Id get a full pack of comba-focused rogues, max out my offensive skills, and exterminate everything that isn't an epic.
If you happen to see this a year later.... kill the epics. If you lure them back to your nest they get stuck on the terrain and you can spit ball them to death.... massecure all.... none survive
They need to implement the molecular stage where you just sort of drift around as a single carbon atom in a soup of elements until you bind with enough things to form lipids and nucleic acids.
Actually getting to the center of the galaxy can get easire each time you do it ... Rather than making a quick dash to the centre if you build up a really powerful empire and conquer your way through. Expand your own empire until it encompasses the galactic core. Then any new games you play, you can just go to the centre via the captured systems of your saved game, rather than those still held by the Grox ... A definite step forwards if you're into empire building and playing your empries against each other raher than fighting the grox
But why waste your time on all this? There is a teleport that brings you very close to the center, from where you can almost in a straight line get to the center of the galaxy in a very short time. Without figuring out which way to go, because the star density is high.
Q - How does the Phalicus eat? A - It mashes the bodies into paste with the balls and absorbs the resulting smegma through the skin, much like a moisturizer.
This was the first game i ever played and was the only game i had for like a year so i played this game to death. In one of my play-through i conquered the entire galaxy. Every Single System I had no life.
Same here XD. First thing I did was go to the center as soon as possible, then got that staff of life and ran the grox out of the center. then it was war with the rest of the galaxy. Planet busters are fun :) I was worse than the grox.
One of my biggest wishes is a spiritual successor to spore, that actually has some love and care put in, someone could make an amazing game out of its skeleton

What's strange is that I haven't ever experienced this "epileptic" glitch. Perhaps it's because I have an old copy, or I use low graphics. Either way, this is my first encounter with this glitch.
@@mattpain4347 That's interesting, from what I could make out, it printed an full spread image of a texture ingame. So it's strange it only reacts like this with recording software, as it's only copying what it sees, yet it causes such a eye sore.
@@mattpain4347 That's interesting. I've never seen this glitch before and I've recorded quite a bit of spore. Maybe I'll have to rewatch those recordings to see if it showed up there but not while I was playing?

The cell stage was my favorite part. I wish this game had put much much more emphasis on growing and evolving as a cell and animal. I never even bothered being a civilization.
Spore Creatures is obviously the superior game and has so much replayability. I absolutely did not just forget it existed after blasting through its story in a single afternoon, anyone who says otherwise is a liar.
I played this game so much growing up and I believe it was an amazing game. I’m sad they didn’t have as much stuff they planned in the alpha or whatever but the game was still extremely fun and I hope there could be an actual sequel to the game for modern standards imagine the scale of the creature stage and the variety in environment but with all the creature creating and stuff. And imagine this game but with a modern graphics (not necessarily realistic but like pleasing) and being able have a water stage. Idk I just feel like this game could really evolve ;) into something even better.
MAXIS company is dead but EA have rights so they could create sequel if they believe they could earn money on it. Maybe let's make a petition showing how many people would buy
Had so many glitches when I played. Once started in the water and kept being killed by the giant creature you normally get killed by if you go into the water when I would go onto land. Had one issue where my chief in civi stage wouldn't let me guys play music :/ Another time I had an epic creature right on my starting nest that kept spawn killing me. Fun.
@@FrankieWuzHere omg the glitch is hilarious, I remember having an annoying glitch where the first mission didn't work so you couldnt progress, I love the game but it's so unstable lol.
@@Thelifeofbudder Including epics deathless. Just run then into certain structures and they can't get past then spam spit. You can kill one solo with max spit before starving easily.
It would be so cool to see a remake of spore that fixed some of the lamer aspects. I love spore, but once the tribal stage comes it starts to feel kinda underdeveloped
Or just a "Spore 2" that overhauls and delivers on what was apparently promised to people, maybe smooth out the development of creatures and civilizations some.
1:12 O my god I am sooooo happy. It's just every time I see a Czech flag or something Czech related in some random English video it just always makes me happy. Thank you.
Spore was the first game I ever got excited for before release, and I followed it closely and obsessed about it for several years. Was a bit disappointed with the end result, but still a charming and unique game
It prove a great point for mods and other gamer based solutions. Just look at what can be created if you give people the tools. A server, some easy to use tools, freedom. Charge for that, get rich and do little work. Everyone will love you for it and beg to give you more money. People spend so much time working for a buck to survive they want something they can enjoy, doubly so if they can create.
I honestly do think the game was ahead of its time. So many of the features they wanted in the game, just couldn't be in it, due to technological limitations. I'd love to see a Spores remastered with all the extra features.
I remember playing spore so much. One thing I remember getting annoyed with is, as a kid, I used only my laptop with no mouse and since I lacked a scroll wheel I couldn't resize parts and I didn't have the awareness to just ask my mom for a mouse to use.
the visual glitch is actually something that only happens when recording. I once recorded some spore and didnt get the glitch, but when i watched back the footage that exact glitch was there. Weird stuff.
Yes i have do all my life of child for do the same and at least grox agree my presence haha but never go in the center of the center of the galaxy in the "main system" haha
@@pc792 your opinion is, as mine, debatable. But i will let you know that i value the first movie very much less than any other original Kirk movie. You just have to become one with the fith movie.

On my game, I made friends with the Grox, then proceeded to do trade routes with them. A year of trading later, I am the new Grox. So I'd say I won the game.
When making friends with the grox, you simultaneously go to war with literally every other species in the galaxy Yeah, I did that too and had to reset my galaxy because there were no more grox
I'm a little late to the party on this one, but I found that the hands down best weapons in the game at space age were the weather terraforming tools. Is the enemy too big for you to fight or would it be too tedious? Easy, just max out the planet's temperature or pressure. They'll be left with a handful of cities for you to steamroll, then you can terraform the planet back after you're done.
For anyone curious about the flashy texture glitches, that's just the way the video was recorded. Assuming Spiff is using OBS and records using Game Capture, it'll also capture texture loads in the background, as if Spiff were to use Window Capture, it'll get rid of all that flashy texture loading and only record the window itself.
There’s something EXTREMELY wrong with your copy. I should know, I have a pirated version that has had no problems whatsoever in the two years I’ve had it. Edit: I dont remember where i got it but it seems right after i made this comment it started having the common spore problem of crashing right after your creature dies
The cell stage has always been my favorite part of the game 🙃 I don't know what's up with the game for you, but I've never had those glitches on any generation of hardware.

Spore Creatures on the DS has got to be one of the most broken games of my childhood. The sound effects would randomly stop working, the camera would get stuck pointing fully down during a dance, just so many issues. But I loved it
11:51 the proboscis is really the only part i like in the cell stage, not only do i get to be omnivorous but its also super op, Ex: with normal mandibles you cant bite something bigger than your size. But when i used to play i could literally kill anything, and the stun made it even more op
3rd of September is when the messenger pigeon arrived in London with a message letting the Brits know the Nazis invaded. Brits and the French declared war soon after and swiftly proceeded to attack the Reich in response.
The five games in Spore vary wildly in quality and fun. Cell and Tribal are okay, mainly because they're short, Creature is the best of the five, Civilisation did _not_ pull off the RTS and grand strategy mix well, and Space... at least No Man's Sky made itself better in due time.
Yeah I don't know why his glitches are so messed up. I also don't appreciate him bitching on the game creator so much, I mean anything is shit if you purposely fuck with it. Minecraft is a shit game all of a sudden if all you do is build massive penis structures with shit coming out of them. Portal 2 is a shit game if all of a sudden all you do is just walk in and out of the same portal again and again. :P but overall enjoyable video
Yeah, he's hating on the game way too much given that back when it came out and years after - hell, even now - it's still a great game. It's a timeless classic that people don't appreciate simply because the ending sucked and they don't like the limitations it has.
I've played spore so much. I played it recently and it took me a very short amount of time to get to the space age. It used to take me over a month to get to the civilization stage.
Just going for gameplay optimization makes it a lot faster but a lot people who play spore make interesting creatures so depending how young you were when it took you a month that might be why
The game is boring at the beginning. But when you get the hang of it, you can create fantastic creatures. Online connection is helpfull for sharing your creations and updating the game with mew patches. But the game really shines with the Galactic Adventures expansion. It allows you to create your own missions. People got really creative with that one. So did I. It was fun.
Oh my gosh yes, galactic adventures is probably the best dlc EAs put out. What were your favorite creators/maps my favorite creators was Gengar114, his maps were AMAZING.

Id get a full pack of comba-focused rogues, max out my offensive skills, and exterminate everything that isn't an epic.
And then u keep them as pets in the tribal stage :)
Egg
If you happen to see this a year later.... kill the epics. If you lure them back to your nest they get stuck on the terrain and you can spit ball them to death.... massecure all.... none survive
@@intensityz6462 Good to know, thanks :D
They need to implement the molecular stage where you just sort of drift around as a single carbon atom in a soup of elements until you bind with enough things to form lipids and nucleic acids.

Spore was a funny concept. Worth a remake.
we can only pray :(
Hopefully the remake would have more realism and depth. I think that's what killed spore, it used to look a lot more realistic in pre-release videos.
@@unocualqu1era yeah the pre release version was lit.
Imagine a gory,violent and graphic version of spore.
EA will monetise it to death
Actually getting to the center of the galaxy can get easire each time you do it ...
Rather than making a quick dash to the centre if you build up a really powerful empire and conquer your way through. Expand your own empire until it encompasses the galactic core. Then any new games you play, you can just go to the centre via the captured systems of your saved game, rather than those still held by the Grox ...
A definite step forwards if you're into empire building and playing your empries against each other raher than fighting the grox
But why waste your time on all this?
There is a teleport that brings you very close to the center, from where you can almost in a straight line get to the center of the galaxy in a very short time. Without figuring out which way to go, because the star density is high.
How dare you desecrate my childhood game!

This game needs a sequel I liked the concept, justnot the execution.
It seems like the largest problem is they didn't have the time or resources to execute the idea properly
@@nerdychocobo Yeah EA fucked this game I still enjoyed it especially being a little 10 yo at the time but compared to the gameplay I saw teased before it came out I was soarly disappointed... Just look up "spore 35 minute demonstration"

@@jadebailey3826 Yeah I got this strange feeling whenever EA shuts down it'll be on a gamer holiday.

What's strange is that I haven't ever experienced this "epileptic" glitch. Perhaps it's because I have an old copy, or I use low graphics. Either way, this is my first encounter with this glitch.
@@mattpain4347 That's interesting, from what I could make out, it printed an full spread image of a texture ingame. So it's strange it only reacts like this with recording software, as it's only copying what it sees, yet it causes such a eye sore.
@Muchinoi It's an old disc, shows you how old this thing is, lol.
@Muchinoi Yeah, I still have the disc too, at this point it might as well be a relic.
I've never seen that glitch before either!
@@mattpain4347 That's interesting. I've never seen this glitch before and I've recorded quite a bit of spore. Maybe I'll have to rewatch those recordings to see if it showed up there but not while I was playing?

The cell stage was my favorite part. I wish this game had put much much more emphasis on growing and evolving as a cell and animal. I never even bothered being a civilization.
Tribal and Civilisation stage are nowhere near as good as Cell, Creature and Space
@Muchinoi Tribe and Civ are too short and don’t have much to do but in Space you get to travel the universe
You forgot Hentai starts in the Civilization Era
Yeah the cellular stage was the part I played the most
Cool! I played creature stage the most
Spore Creatures is obviously the superior game and has so much replayability. I absolutely did not just forget it existed after blasting through its story in a single afternoon, anyone who says otherwise is a liar.
Yeah dude loved that game when i was a kid, almost forgot about it thanks for reminding me
I actually found out about Spore from Spore Creatures
I was so disappointed with creatures it's fun making them but like it could've been so much better
I played this game so much growing up and I believe it was an amazing game. I’m sad they didn’t have as much stuff they planned in the alpha or whatever but the game was still extremely fun and I hope there could be an actual sequel to the game for modern standards imagine the scale of the creature stage and the variety in environment but with all the creature creating and stuff. And imagine this game but with a modern graphics (not necessarily realistic but like pleasing) and being able have a water stage. Idk I just feel like this game could really evolve ;) into something even better.
The series has so much potential for an amazing sequel but I’m pretty sure the company that made the game shut down
I see what you did there ;)
A stage between cell and creature would be awesome in my opinion
MAXIS company is dead but EA have rights so they could create sequel if they believe they could earn money on it. Maybe let's make a petition showing how many people would buy
Check out thrive, it’s a spiritual successor to this game, but it’s still a work in progress at this current point.

spore was such a fun game imo
I loved it a lot when I played it and I still do
Also: I never saw any of those glitches lol
Had so many glitches when I played. Once started in the water and kept being killed by the giant creature you normally get killed by if you go into the water when I would go onto land. Had one issue where my chief in civi stage wouldn't let me guys play music :/ Another time I had an epic creature right on my starting nest that kept spawn killing me. Fun.
@@FrankieWuzHere omg the glitch is hilarious, I remember having an annoying glitch where the first mission didn't work so you couldnt progress, I love the game but it's so unstable lol.
I remember playing Spore. It's so fun, I'm gonna go play it for a while now.
@@FunbuddyDoge if you want so advice on how to have a fun challenge, try to make everything in creature stage extinct.
@@Thelifeofbudder Including epics deathless. Just run then into certain structures and they can't get past then spam spit. You can kill one solo with max spit before starving easily.
It would be so cool to see a remake of spore that fixed some of the lamer aspects. I love spore, but once the tribal stage comes it starts to feel kinda underdeveloped
Or just a "Spore 2" that overhauls and delivers on what was apparently promised to people, maybe smooth out the development of creatures and civilizations some.
tribal is probably my least fave stage

To this day, I can't figure out if Spiff actually likes Spore
he does
@@asdf3668 everyone does
I love that Daddy Grand Limb looks like a biblically accurate representation of an angel
Spore was the first game I ever got excited for before release, and I followed it closely and obsessed about it for several years. Was a bit disappointed with the end result, but still a charming and unique game
It prove a great point for mods and other gamer based solutions. Just look at what can be created if you give people the tools. A server, some easy to use tools, freedom. Charge for that, get rich and do little work. Everyone will love you for it and beg to give you more money. People spend so much time working for a buck to survive they want something they can enjoy, doubly so if they can create.
Jay Eisenhardt then EA came and destroyed the dream
I honestly do think the game was ahead of its time. So many of the features they wanted in the game, just couldn't be in it, due to technological limitations. I'd love to see a Spores remastered with all the extra features.
This man is so hard to read: is he sarcastic, satirical or does he genuinely believe half of what he says.

I remember playing spore so much. One thing I remember getting annoyed with is, as a kid, I used only my laptop with no mouse and since I lacked a scroll wheel I couldn't resize parts and I didn't have the awareness to just ask my mom for a mouse to use.
I find it humorous that I'm getting ads for coffee machines while watching Spiff's videos.

I'm a little late to the party on this one, but I found that the hands down best weapons in the game at space age were the weather terraforming tools. Is the enemy too big for you to fight or would it be too tedious? Easy, just max out the planet's temperature or pressure. They'll be left with a handful of cities for you to steamroll, then you can terraform the planet back after you're done.
For anyone curious about the flashy texture glitches, that's just the way the video was recorded.
Assuming Spiff is using OBS and records using Game Capture, it'll also capture texture loads in the background, as if Spiff were to use Window Capture, it'll get rid of all that flashy texture loading and only record the window itself.

Spore Creatures on the DS has got to be one of the most broken games of my childhood. The sound effects would randomly stop working, the camera would get stuck pointing fully down during a dance, just so many issues. But I loved it
I got this game when it came out with a couple of my friends. One of them just played the cell stage over and over lol.
11:51 the proboscis is really the only part i like in the cell stage, not only do i get to be omnivorous but its also super op, Ex: with normal mandibles you cant bite something bigger than your size. But when i used to play i could literally kill anything, and the stun made it even more op
I finished Spore and I've met Steve. And you can also find Earth!!
I was oblivious to the Spore hype/disappointment as a kid and absolutely LOVED Spore. Total nostalgia goggles for me.

3rd of September is when the messenger pigeon arrived in London with a message letting the Brits know the Nazis invaded. Brits and the French declared war soon after and swiftly proceeded to attack the Reich in response.

The five games in Spore vary wildly in quality and fun. Cell and Tribal are okay, mainly because they're short, Creature is the best of the five, Civilisation did _not_ pull off the RTS and grand strategy mix well, and Space... at least No Man's Sky made itself better in due time.
my ranking is probs creature, space, civilization, cell, tribal

I also don't appreciate him bitching on the game creator so much, I mean anything is shit if you purposely fuck with it. Minecraft is a shit game all of a sudden if all you do is build massive penis structures with shit coming out of them. Portal 2 is a shit game if all of a sudden all you do is just walk in and out of the same portal again and again. :P
but overall enjoyable video
Yeah, he's hating on the game way too much given that back when it came out and years after - hell, even now - it's still a great game. It's a timeless classic that people don't appreciate simply because the ending sucked and they don't like the limitations it has.

Spore servers were migrated to a company called origin. With an account there, you can access it

The game is boring at the beginning. But when you get the hang of it, you can create fantastic creatures. Online connection is helpfull for sharing your creations and updating the game with mew patches.
But the game really shines with the Galactic Adventures expansion. It allows you to create your own missions. People got really creative with that one. So did I. It was fun.
Oh my gosh yes, galactic adventures is probably the best dlc EAs put out. What were your favorite creators/maps my favorite creators was Gengar114, his maps were AMAZING.
