Honest ? I bought the game thinking there was some roleplaying part in it while in fact there is none. The game is fine but in the end its just a run for who get the biggest artefact first. No campaign, no tutorial, I say I got ripped off. Next time I'll download my games for free first then I'll see if its worth my money.

 

That's why you read reviews before buying games...I can't say "duh" loud enough for you to hear me, but I'll try anyway.

Whine about it all you want, but I'll still pirate stuff that I'm unsure of. Demo's can be very misleading, reading a review tells me next to nothing, and just because my friend might like it we don't always have the same taste. Right before hopping into a dota tourny with some friends, one of them mentioned DG, said it was like dota. Thats great, but there's no demo, I can read as many reviews as I want all I know is that its a strategy RPG (or w/e they're calling it) that sort of plays like dota, and gameplay trailers don't include me playing that game so I'm seeing nothing thats of use to me. So the next day I pirated it, played some rounds on the single, and then bought it the day after (payday). 'Get some moral character'. Lol? Right, like that matters much these days on the great interwebs. I don't think it's 'ok because its for personal use only', those people are just ignorant. However I could honestly care less what the views are on piracy, because it's there and I will continue to download shit.

The last title I bought without pirating first was Hellgate London, and as you may or may not know, you CAN'T return that pile of crap game because it's classified as an 'MMO'. Which is kinda bullshit. So cool, now I have an oversized paperweight because they went out of business and their servers are no longer there. It's now just a boring ass single player game. So maybe you enjoy just throwing away money on crappy products, but I prefer not to so you can continue to waste money, I'll stick to my illegal ways and only buy the games that I actually like (about 1 every 3-4 months on avg), supporting the companies that are actually worth it.

Heheh, I paid like $210 for the Collector's Edition and Founder's Offer for Hellgate London, that game has so much potential that it sadly failed to realize. In other news, I knew that Demigod would either be an excellent game or a really disappointing one, and couldn't tell which at all from the videos, which surprisingly make the game look a lot more boring and confusing than it is. I'm sure they were made during the 10 minutes the devs had free at the time, but I still get a kick out of hearing the guy say "And these reinforcements are called.... reinforcements!". I'll be honest: I knew that I would only get my money's worth out of this game if I could have a good experience playing it with a bunch of friends, and it just so turned out that after one of us bought it the others all did too, now we have a great time playing together (when, you know, it works ). I'm glad I made the decision to buy Demigod, and have a great deal of respect for Stardock for the amazing amount of work they've put into troubleshooting the issues that reared their ugly heads upon release. Well done!

Maybe if they ever release an expansion it could come with a mini rpg campaign with the original 8 or something, that would be neat. I think a lot of people were disappointed with the lack of single player (not totally realizing how much of a MP game it was, or not knowing at all).

to the OP.

Pirating is a by-product of consumerism.

The amount of pirating can be seen as a way to evaluate a games popularity...

Pirating is not the reason a game fails or succeeds, it is meerly an extension of using your vhs recorder to copy a show u liked so that when u got home from work you could watch it then.

Short and Sweet.

But ultimately, who gives a rats what i think or anyone thinks, its just epeen for posters.. Not like we can change piracy or affect it in any wa. I want to purchase the game but worried about the fact u cant play online...

Many Europeans have bought the game direct. There is no difference between the Impulse downloaded version and waht you'd install and update off a local retail disc.

No, it can't.  Nobody forced the consumer to buy the game.  Nobody forced them to buy immedietly instead of waiting for reviews to come in.   A dumbass customer has nobody to blame for being a dumbass but themselves. 

You worried that you might not get your money's worth? Then DON'T BUY IT.  Wait and see.  Or use the money on something useful, like paying a bill or fixing your car, or buying a board game you can play with your family.
