I give up

That's it.. Spore... I've had it with you.

I gave you a second chance, you know. I played you once and gave you a bad review but you know, I still wanted to play you. Well you just had to fuck it all up again didn't you.

Why, Spore? Why do you have to interrupt my well-thought-out plans every 30 seconds with some inane crap like one pirate ship threatening a planet of 10 bases set up with defense turrets? All I wanted to do was build up my cities on another planet, organise myself a bit more, but nope. EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME I try and do something I want to do in this game, you pull me away! It's like trying to have a conversation with someone while someone else constantly interrupts you by saying "Look at how boring I am!" and then running away as soon as you turn your head.

And not just that. What is with your missions? I have counted about four, and someone has pressed 'Shuffle Songs' on them:

1: Scan planet for life forms
2: Abduct someone or something
3: Laser some "infected" animals

...

Sorry, it's only three.

In all honesty, I WISH this game was actually good! But you know what? It's not. It's not at all well thought out technically (where are the god damn key commands?), nor does the fun last any longer than it takes for one to realise that they're just sitting there with little to no choice in anything, and that they're just at the whim of a pseudo-random number generator telling the game when to send the next wave of pissant pirates to their death above my base, while INSISTING on my presence every single god damn time. Over, and over, and over again. To put it simply, I hate being interrupted and I don't like having to click my mouse so many times!

I give up on you Spore. You make me glad I never paid for you.
