I bet that would annoy some people. Theyve just evolved from bacteria and built a global civilisation when a ufo comes down from the sky and destroys the whole planet

I don't believe that you have to go to higher levels, you can probably continue to remain on an individual level and keep modifying your creature if that's all you want. It sounds like things will be added from other players, so options will always be changing.devious_ said:I think it would have been cooler if you remained in control of only one character while everything around you evolved into something better.

No, you go to other planets, did you watch the whole thing? You can teraform.dduardo said:I think the philosophical ramifications of this game are interesting.
At the end, or near the end, of our evolutionary path what are we left to do? Where do we go from there? In "Spore" you have two choices: Continue to play in the world ad naussem or stop playing. Is that how our reality will end up?
I don't know. But with my game playing proficiency, I will die of old age long before I ever get off the planet.dduardo said:but when you are dealing with reality, where do you go? What do you do?
Simple, you die. I think the is very similar to the tale of the Wandering Jew who, in the myths, was cursed to live until Christ comes again. Most people might think of immortality as a blessing, but I think you are right, that after a long enough period of time life becomes nothing more then a boring burden. Our greatest ability is that fact we can die, becuase without it life would loose all of its meaning.dduardo said:Evo, yes, I did watch the whole thing.
Sure teraform all planets you want, but won't there a point were you say: "Wow, this is incredible boring, i want to do something else."? It is easy to stop playing "Spore" and pick up another computer game, but when you are dealing with reality, where do you go? What do you do?
And then what, when we have created every possible universe, what happens? We finite creatures cannot possibly hope to exist happily in an infinite state. Such an immortal existence would require a change in our being, and then we would cease to be human.PIT2 said:When we get that far we would just create new baby universes with different laws of physics.

Possibly true, I am a skeptic concerning NDE's, but in this state I would say that our being has ceased to become human in the classical sense. Everything that comprises our nature, the instinct to survive, the struggle to improve, etc., has vanished. What are we in this timeless state? I don't know, but I know it isn't human.PIT2 said:I think this is mostly because we can't imagine anything different from our own lifes. If u ask the people who actually died (near-death-experiencers)they tell u something quite different, that it was the best experience ever in a timeless place and they wanted to stay there forever. Whether true or not, it at least indicates that we are capable of feeling such joy and timelessness that we would never want it to end.
Then there are the terrible, horrible, frightening near death experiences where the people see souls trapped, screaming in lakes of fire.PIT2 said:I think this is mostly because we can't imagine anything different from our own lifes.

Evo said:I think we're getting off topic. I can see this game remaining interesting much longer than a game where you steal cars and shoot people. I think Spore is for a different audience than most other games.[/QUOTE
I certainly hope so. The gaming industry needs a new face besides GTA. If Spore is a successful as its potential then it will be a wild success, for all demographics.

Yes you can, you can become me. I evolved from humanity and, if you will pardon the gross lack of humility, have gone far beyond them. Although the term evolve is slightly wrong here, but the meaning is close enough for the purpose.moose said:You beat the game when you make someone who is identical to me. 8)
You can't possibly evolve more than that.
