Darkspore: Complete Story Playthrough - Part 1-1: Floating Islands

2013-11-09 80

In part 1-1 we should destroy some Darkspore in Floating Islands on Zelem's Nexus, the ruins of planet Nakto. It's a very first level in the game and it's designed for low level heroes.

Technical notes:

This is a story mode playthrough of Darkspore, the multiplayer ARPG from the SPORE series, created by MAXIS and published by EA. It starts from the tutorial and ends after the final battle. During this videos I'll play this game for my very first time and, therefore, I'll be noobish like hell. A lot of things in this game isn't intuitive (for example it took me some time to understand that item levels is much more important than item bonuses, no matter how cool those bonuses looks) and it looks like a made every possible mistake on my first try. So, if this videos looks noobish, it's because I was a complete noob back then.

Why did I recorded my first playthrough then? Because there's no chance for the second one in this game. That's it, there's no option to start a new game from very beginning, or to delete your account and create another one. The only way to start a new game in Darkspore is to buy a new copy. Believe it, or not. There's no end in this game and you can play through the game again and again and again, but only during your first time you'll get a story comments on your journey from HELIX AI. Even if you'll replay the same levels later, there'll be no story info in them. Therefore, your very first run through the game is the only way to learn the story and you can't return to it again. You can enjoy story in Darkspore only once during your lifetime (if you're not crazy enough to buy another box, or digital copy) and that's why I decided to record it.

So, this videos are not about the skill, but about the story. If you want to see skills, look elsewhere, but if you want to re-watch the story events, here's your chance.

Videos recorded with FRAPS, in-game graphics settings is on max. Playthrough splitted in chapters. Once level - one video.
