Review: Demigod
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
I'm still on the fence about this game.
I do so like the looks of it, and it seems to be indeed quite fun to play. But I do so horribly suck at multiplayer games, be it FPS or RTS. I don't want to spend 50? on something that I start up, and get my ass kicked multiple times without any end in sight, as it is every time I try to play an RTS online.
Yeah, I guess I could play single player, but I suspect that will quickly lose it's novelty once I've tried all the Demigods. Perhaps I'll pick it up if I see it on discount in a few years, but right now... I don't think so.

I agree that they really ought to release a demo. I (obviously) thought the game was awesome. However, I do understand that it might only cater to a certain selection of gamers (the type who would enjoy DotA). Unfortunately, with PC games, can't "Rent before you buy."
And then they complain that people pirate the game.CantFaketheFunk said:
Guess what - a lot less people would pirate if you gave the demo!
a) if they liked the game, they would still buy it
b) if they didn't like, they wouldn't play it
c) they are just assholes.
There are a lot of c) players, but a) and b)'s might get hurt because of no demo version.
To be fair, its more akin to an RPG - can be hard, to be sure, if your playing against a well organized enemy, but fun and winnable - and I hate online RTS's tooRhayn said:
.The beauty part is the fact that you only have 1 unit to control yourself, see? Very little necessary micromanagement, so you have time to actually think about your strategy instead of micro-managing the enemy to death.
I think I'll have to at least give the demo a try but ya this game looks pretty fun and I do need a new pc game.
Hm, that does indeed sound to be quite managable. Perhaps I'll pick it up anyway.Doug said:To be fair, its more akin to an RPG - can be hard, to be sure, if your playing against a well organized enemy, but fun and winnable - and I hate online RTS's too

Not to mention I'll be suporting DRM free games if I do, right?

And slight qualifier to my statement - the "General" type units do get a few units in the course of battle that you can control, if you really really want to - but the auto control on them is fine and I've only used it once so far, heh.
