Quick Look: Darkspore

Spore!

" Spore! "

" not intrested :( "

Hearing Diablo made me interested! I need more loot!!!

AHH THE SPORE IS DARK

more blood!

Played a bit of the beta. Its like Diablo + pokemon. The loot didn't really grab me though.

Seems neat-ish. I dunno. 

Guess Ryan missed that your creatures doesn't actually level up. It's just a measure of strength based on gear.

Sup, Mr. Wright

Played the beta and was bored to tears. I don't know what audience they're going for, the game is too easy for an older audience and there is blood when you kill enemies so its not for kids.

Actually, this looks pretty damn cool.

Oh no :( I think I'm sold.

But I didn't really like Spore though ;__; I'm so conflicted.

Looks decent, but I'll stick with Diablo 2.

was in the beta, it is EXTREMELY boring with uninteresting chars. stay away

Boring game. I don't think its worth time and money.

This is looking more interesting than anticipated.

This game seems really dumb. Also the fact that they didn't use all of the creating creature stuff to create a hero misses the entire point. Just equipping stuff is not good enough. You need to come in a create some freak and find out it sucks at killing things.

We still didn't see how DNA can be used. Shame... Oh well. Looks alright.

video keeps stopping about 45 seconds in ...:(

@ zungerman090

You use DNA to buy items and some unlocks.

The general opinion of those who played the beta is that it's a very boring game.

Because it is.

That minimap was my biggest concern in beta, too bad they didn't address it. Instead of the usual "large map with greyed out bits representing places you need to check out", all you can see is your immediate surroundings, most of which are on the screen. It's pretty much useless. Worse yet, it discourages exploration.

Just a quick correction.  Your heroes' levels are determined by the level of gear they have equipped.  So if you have all level 30 items equipped on one guy, that guy is level 30. 

Also, DNA is used to buy upgrades to your "ship," and weapons and upgrades for your heroes.

Just playing from the beta, I thought the game was alright.  Like a lot of people are saying, it can be kinda boring, and as long as you watch what you're doing it isn't that big of a challenge.  That said, there would be times when I started playing and found myself an hour later wondering where the time went.

This game looks very bad. Better than I thought but still not near decent enough for me to buy it.

These quicklooks have not been "quick" lately, oh well, the longer the better

Ryan's word of the week: DOPE! Through this and the bombcast I've been hearing him say that an awful lot. Or at least often enough for it to stand out.

Looks interesting. My issue with Spore was fixed with the galactic adventure pack as the space stage should have been more than it was at launch. I really enjoyed Spore so will keep an eye on this.

Boooooring. Where is my torchlight

The box art for Darkspore is kind of misleading.

Let's do some flaying...or perhaps some Necrocutting.

Game looks kind of cool, although it doesn't seem to have much motivation to play beyond XP and loot.

This looks like it gets boring fast. In general I find games like Diablo get repetitive and boring real quick even though I like loot.

The ships voice reminds me of the woman who narrates the events in Unreal Tournament games.

I did play it and i gotta say i had alot of fun at the start and it was pretty exciting but as people said.. it gets boring pretty quickly.

I really like this game. I love the idea of using the spore parts as unique equipment.

I don't know any better, so I thought it interesting for seeing it. Somehow I do not like the, hard to describe, the bright cartoon like world and creatures of this and Torchlight, though I intend to get over that. Point and click I've rarely done, also. Must get over that.

But this want-to-be- on- console persistence, I thought they were bitching moderately during the QL of Torchlight on XBLA, yet one of the guys here goes on about Darkspore being on consoles. Whats up with that? Torchlight works apparently on console, but it is not love at first sight...like it is for pc, and K and M

Strap it on!..still a fav.

Those warp spawners had the same mouth I put on pretty much all of my creatures in Spore. It was kind of jarring

Did anyone notice that when he made a pair of balls, the UI basically had a :) ?

This is bad.

So this is a sci-fi diablo with a huge selection of cool heroes?
Sold.

no, thanks. looks interesting but I don't like the purely cosmetic effects of the dude-designer.

I got a couple guys on Steam that are going nuts for this game. They are constantly trying to get me to play it, but it just doesn't do anything for me.I played the beta and I found that the combat got very repetitive, and I really don't like the look of the game. Normally I don't mind cartoony stuff, but for some reason the Spore art design just never clicked with me

Watching this makes me want to replay through Torchlight for the 10th time. I can't wait for Torchlight 2 and Diablo 3. Bring on the ARPG. On a side note, this game looks like it has some "interesting ideas" by using the spore creator. But after reading some reviews and even watching this quicklook, I kind of feel like it feel short.

At the end of the level where you have to pick between either continuing or cashing out...it's not another wave you go up against, it's the next level in it's entirety.
