[quote]I will still give the game a review score of 86 Today. I never thought reviewers would take consider multiplayer issues in the review. I had to play the multiplayer connection game through out beta. It might be fine for you, but I remember there were still multiplayer issues even 1 week before release. The healing and movement bug was there in beta and that's my opinion. If you it worked for you, then that's great.[/quote]

[quote]I really wish all this including the multiplayer issues were fix before the game launched. I guess this is the difference between a small budget game vs. a big budget game. The healing bug, movement bug, AI stupidness existed in beta before release. i guess time and budget was used up. you guys already paid the price... oh well, hope to see this release tomorrow.[/quote] Gee, I remember being in the beta and I don't remember

[quote]I'm pretty sure Frogboy and the SD team took personal offense to Warhawk's comment, since if I recall correctly, he was implying that the SD crew were liars that weren't standing behind their product when Frogboy and company are working 70 hour weeks to get the game running in prime condition. Frankly, I don't know any company-owned forums where you wouldn't get banned for posting personal attacks on company employees. They don't want to put up with that crap, and it's well within thei

[quote]well to be fair.... it isn't like stardock is unique in their dealings of problemsolving and updating their games. Other smaller gameproducers do the same. Keberos, the producers of Sword of the Stars(awesome game) are a small game producing company and they listened to the gamers and patched up the game nicely. for a small company that wants to become big needs a good ears to geat a steady base of fanboys/girls to sell their product[/quote] (slaps forehead) Sta

I've been a shameless Stardock fan for some years now. Originally came from their skinning stuff but fell in love with Galactic Civilizations and later Sins of a Solar Empire. I was in the Demigod beta. I would love to know what goes on behind closed doors. I'm a little surprised that nobody from Gas Powered Games has been on to talk to people. With Sins of a Solar Empire, Blair from Ironclad was on regularly answering questions and I still see him on and he's the

I would bet most. People who know Stardock already know Stardock didn't develop Demigod or its connectivity code. Stardock is the one who made the decision to publish Demigod and made the decision on what NAT program was used. Someone compared Stardock to Flagship studios (makers of Hellgate). Flagship Studios didn't publish Hellgate London. Electronic Arts did. The difference is that when something goes wrong with something released by Stardock they seem

[quote]Is anyone else slowly being reminded more and more of Hellgate: London, the longer this goes on? The way they keep plugging this Elemental game of theirs reminds me of how Hellgate: London's devs kept going on about how they're going to fix Hellgate, but they just constantly suggested everyone go check out their other game, Mythos. Then ultimately, Flagship Studios sold Hellgate, sold Mythos, and shut down. I don't think that exact situation is going to play out, but simply the

I spent half of tonight trying to get my Vista printer to connect to another Vista Printer on my home LAN without success. And you are wrong if you think you never have to change your router.

[quote]So just because Blizzard is that much better, they can't be used as comparison? Kind of a flawed logic if you ask me. Demigod is in direct competition with Blizzard and its upcoming Stracraft 2. GPG and Stardock were lucky Blizzard only announced Beta for SC2 instead of a release date, otherwise we all know what would have happened. If you want to make a RTS or a MMORPG, you go in direct competition with Blizzard and that's whom you'll be compared to.[/quote] He

[quote]Frankly, blaming it on the user population and saying WC3 is 3rd in franchise with millions of users is a weak argument. What do you think I'm telling my friends right now following your answer? "No, don't come, not enough people to get you a match going in less than 5min". And most likely answer "Ouch, sucks, used to be able to play in 30s on WC3".[/quote] I would say you need to learn your numbers. If one game has 5 million players and the other game o

Reply to Misunderstanding a great Game: More bad Reviews out there :-( in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote]If it was a multiplayer game at $30, then the reviews were different. This is a full game at $40, well not quite $50 yet but still at $40, reviewers assume one will get a full single player and multiplayer game. I don't think it's the reviewers fault at all. GPG originally wanted this game to be multiplayer only. It's Stardock decision to add single player so more people will buy it and they can charge $40. You can't blame the review

[quote]I disagree, a game should be reviewed as is, on release. If they release a game like this, they should get slammed for it. So then the next time they release a game they will do it properly. You never learn unless your hand is slapped. If everyone is all nice and sympathetic the system just gets worse and worse and worse until it eats itself.[/quote] That's idiotic. Sorry but all that would result in is publishers being sent copies much later so that they could be sure
