GIVE ME DARKSPORE BACK YOU FUCKING EA COCKNIGGERS

Is it no longer playable vor what?

>>382933903
Permanently unplayable because of EA's shitty always-online DRM. Even if you pirate it, it just can't be played.

>>382934054
that sucks.
There is no workaround for that?

>>382933903
The was Always Online and the servers were shut down years ago. The game sold poorly and wasn't particularly good, but fuck EA for completing killing something people paid money for.

>>382934223
Not to my knowledge. There has been talk of a server emulator, but nothing came of it and I don't know if it can even be done.

Why anybody should bought this back in the way

>>382934507
I bought it because it looked fun and I enjoyed the beta.

Nerd

I hope someone makes a server emulator so you can play it again.

>>382935309

>implying anyone gives a flying FUCK about Darkspore

I know you just watched Ross's game dungeon, but can we talk about a dead game that was actually good?

>>382936345
I can imagine some kid getting this game as a bday gift from his grandma and being greeted with that launcher.

>>382936560
>>implying anyone gives a flying FUCK about Darkspore
I do.
>I know you just watched Ross's game dungeon
I didn't. I played at least a thousand hours in Darkspore, and had a ton of fun. I want to go back and replay, but I can't.

I am very sorry for your loss too though.

>>382936837
Oh man. That sucks. Dark Spore wasn't really my cup of tea but anyone who's truly lost a game deserves sympathy.

I spent money on Battleforge. It was a lot of fun.

Yeah, I know Darkspore wasn't a popular game. Thanks for the sympathy; it means a lot to know someone cares.

I did a little reading about Battleforge. I noticed it was made by EA too. Really depolarizes your axons...

Darkspore took 50 bucks off me. How much did you lose?

>game journalists defend diablo 3 always online
>in the meanwhile darkspore gives us exactly the reason why always online for a functional singleplayer game is a bad idea

Fuck this industry.

There may be some hope. I've got it deep in my bookmarks, check it once in a blue moon.

>>382937756
At least 80. The game was 40 bucks and then I bought some cards.

>>382937885
To be fair, blizzard has a very good track record of keeping their games running. I can't see them pulling the plug without at least making it offline compatible.

>>382936837
Honestly anon after the first play through there's nothing different about the game during any play through after that. I don't believe you sunk 100 hours into it, let alone 1000.

>>382938212
That's cool. I wish there was something similar for Darkspore - hell, just a server emulator - but the truth of the matter is, almost no one is interested in it.

I'm interested in making a server emulator myself but I have no idea how, or if it's even possible. Any anons have more experience in that regard.

>>382938253
It's always fucking EA who pulls this shit.

>>382938539
I kept grinding at the 18-4^whatever to get the super rare items.

>>382938690
>Any anons have more experience in that regard.
Meant to end that sentence with a question mark.

>>382938539
Also forgot to mention, this was pretty much the only game I played for a solid year. Got so obsessed.

That does it. I'm going to try to create a server emulator.

Probably going to turn out like pic related, but I want to give it a shot.
