The G4TV Review

Nice, 4 out of 5 star.

Very good review actually. Yeah its one of those reviews typical of G4 where the reviewer is trying to hard to sound cool....but thats par for the course. Good stuff though.

Put this on the main page please. One of the biggest challange is going through these guys on national TV. Good job GPG and SD.

Good work, but G4 has been known to give really bad reviews. Crysis got a 3/5 from xplay but high reviews from other sources. Resident Evil 5 also got a 3/5. 

So the judge of a review is how it compares to every other review?

RE sucked. (especially no PC release? Multiplayer sucks)

Crysis is just pretty graphics.

I see 3/5 being a lil too high.

Crysis is far better than Demigod. If you say Crysis deserves less than a 3/5 then Demigod deserves a 1 (your reasoning, not mine). 

RE got numerous postive reviews.

Demigod got numerous negative reviews. 

I have seen xplay long enough to know their reviews are not good enough to make a purchase on. 

God do you people enjoy doing and being like that. RE5 and Crysis are rated in their catergory. Third person shooters and first person shooters. If not every single DS game would get a 1/5 for shit Graphics and gameplay. That is how reviewing work. They do not compare two genre's rather see where that game stands in its catergory and in the time it was released.

They had their reasons for giving Crysis a 3/5. I agreed with them. Forcing people to chip in more money fora  better PC to end up playing a glitchy game. Was better off waiting for crysis warhead. The multiplayer didn't last either, went back to COD4 very fast.

RE5 for me was to much like RE4 but less exciting. You would expect African Zombies to be stronger then Spaniard but noooooo. RE4 had scary moments in RE5 I never got those. The only thing I was scared about was that I would regret buying it. Had it not been for the Co-op I would not have touched the game.

"I have seen xplay long enough to know their reviews are not good enough to make a purchase on"

This is why we are human because we are different. I have been watching Xplay for a long time as well and most of the time I ended up regretting not listening to them.

Crysis sucked. Demigod is fun. I would choose demigod over crysis any day. It's your opinion that crysis was good, yet the best thing about it was its graphics. Gameplay really was lame. Really really lame. Your rationalization of his reasoning was really shitty. Your reasoning is flawed. RE5 was good the first time around, and that's all there is to it.

Crysis is only good for being able to tell how good of a computer you have.

RE5 isn't even close to other resident evils and probably has the worst ai i've ever had the displeasure of playing with. She's also a really annoying character.

Demi-god on the flip side got negative reviews due to release problems. Demi-god is more multi-player oriented then crysis and isn't on a console like RE5. Also unlike crysis which is a dime a dozen game, demi-god is only the 2nd installment in the dota genre and is the first actual stand alone game of it's type. I think I can forgive a few bugs in light of new genre going mainstream.

As for reviews... I don't care about their scores. Hell they all suck at reviewing anyways since they do it for money and thus are always biased in that degree. You should only look at reviews for the pro's and cons of the game, not the final score. The score is irrelvant it has no meaning. You can't express a complex opinon nummerically, it just doesn't work. As in the end it's you as the customer who is buying the game with your own money. Whether the investment is worth it or not is up to you.

If anyone must know, all a "review" really is, is just the opinion of that reviewer.  And, on the opinion of that reviewer, they enjoy the fun that comes from playing the game Demigod more than the fun that comes from playing Resident Evil 5 or Crysis.

   Now, to get down to the basics of why those other games didn't score high is that their mechanics are nothing truely fun.

  I'll look at Resident Evil 5 first:

  The game has the action very limited, the enemies all pause and slow down when approaching enemies, guns can not be fired on-the-go, and overall has the feeling of a railshooter.   The AI for the game was very bad, the horror aspect wasn't quite there (mostly because it was daytime bloom gallor), and the boss fights came down to nothing more than buttom mashing event spams.  The graphics were good and the zombies unique, but come to gameplay and it wasn't that fun.

As for Crysis:

If you can get a computer to play it (at the time of the game's release, barely anyone could get the game to run at a good framerate on a PC), the game was good.   However, if you get right down to it, all the game was was an upgraded version of Far Cry with a guy in a fancy suit and an alien conspiracy.  Physics were nice, graphics were the best ever released at the time.  Gameplay was a reminder of Far Cry except with a few new tools as the main character goes around an island were a bunch of enemies are there to kill.  Overall a good game, however people hyped it way too much for the graphics alone.  But, for a shooter, it wasn't anything top notch compared to other things out there or coming out (Halo, for example...I know it's a console game, but the overall gameplay, story, and style were very unique fun and exciting).

Demigod:

Single player is lacking story/depth, however this game is mainly a battle-arena style game (says so right on the box).

Reading the box:

• Revolutionary Combination of action, strategy, and role-playiing
• Choose from an array of demigods, each with radically different power
• Leve-up your Demigod's skills and abilites and unlock powerful achievements
• Fine-tune your arsenal with hundreds of items and strategic upgrades
• Wage massive, world-shattering battles across a series of awe-inspiring arenas
• Dominate in single-player battles or take on up to 9 other players online

And the images match those that are on this site too.  But overall the game has exactly what's described on the box, is very fun, and has an unbelievable replay value.  The only thing that is slighly off is that last line that should read "Dominate in single-player battles or battle with and take on up to 9 other players online," that would clarify that you're teamed up and there's no way you'll actually be facing in a free-for-all against 9 others (unless they choose to update so sometime far in the future).

Again, the bottom line is that it comes down to taste, and as an RTS/RPG game  Demigod tastes mighty good.
