Right now it makes me feel just like Spore did

from Elemental Forums

I wanted Spore to be super-cool.  Actually I was told and let myself be convinced that it was super cool.

Yet when I actually played it I was deeply dismayed with its lack of depth.  What seemed like deep pools of awesome turned out to be cleverly disguised puddles.

Elemental leaves me feeling much the same.  I can see awesome but when I get there it is mostly just a cardboard cutout and some tape. 

I love GalCiv2 and I am hopeful that the team is able to infuse some more soul into this game.  I'm not sure that mods are going to cut it, although I keep thinking about the massive overhauls that have been done for Oblivion to make it an awesome game. 

I'll keep checking in to see what the changes bring.

With Spore, I think EA had to many fingers in the pie and Will Wright wasn't directly involved.   Near as I know.  Stardock, on the other hand, even though seems to have made a plop of a game, should continue to improve and change it.  From my understanding, it's part of the philosophy of the compmany.  So, it is like Spore in what you basically described.  It is unlike Spore, in that it will change, possibly radically.  EA would never do this or care to.  It is just a matter of time, and more waiting, which is the bummer.
