Stardock Working on Demigod Multiplayer Issues

Btw a patch was released last night which has assisted greatly in getting games going. Not the be all or end all but has helped considerably.

Kudos Stardock, at least I was able to get a decent 2v2 match an hour ago. Couple of buddies are planning to get together and LAN, and only 1 copy needed...awesome.

OK so I've played a few skirmishes now with the Rook. He seems pretty beast. I wish I could figure out a better way to rotate the camera than holding delete.

Picked up a copy of this yesterday. Was a fan of DOTA back in the day but havent played it in a few years. It is very difficult to join games right now - so if you buy it expect issues there but i have to say, it's well exceeded my expectations.

Graphically the game is superb - the maps/environments, the characters/animations, the npc mobs - everything. The screenshots and videos really don't do it justice.

The sounds and music are likewise top knotch.

Have been finding the gameplay really does have a DOTA feel to it. It's different of course but it's still that same addictive gameplay that anyone who has enjoyed DOTA really digs.

I am sure with extra demigods etc it will only get better with time. I have to say though, this is a ton better than i thought it would be and i had to literally drag myself off to bed last night to stop playing.

Once they sort the technical issues, I am sure there'll be inbalances etc, but this game stinks of potential. Hell, it's enjoyable as hell right now.

really want to know if i should buy this or not

what's the deal with the environments? Why do they look so plain? Is that part of the aesthetic?

Played through the tournament mode (singleplayer) on easy and normal, was a breeze.
Now I'm playing on hard and it's impossible. I'm playing with the "buffer" Oak, but somehow
the enemy AI is always more organized as my fellow buddies.
My guys seem to run in different directions all the time, while the enemy usually sticks
together in combat, thus seriously owning me and the guy who I was following to buff. The
enemy also manages to level 2 times as fast as my own guys, despite us having the
experience buff flag and citadel upgrades.
My guys also seem to mostly ignore the citadel upgrades, so it's always up to me,
to get things going there, which means I have not enough cash for my own upgrades.


All in all the game is pretty nice, the AI could use some work tho.

I wonder why Gamespot rated it down because of the online issues (something that is probably going to be fixed soon).

I don't like demigod either, but I find it strange for a reviewer to rate it permanently down for something that is only temporary.

(im expecting it to be temporary at least)
No hate post, just a question.

We need more enough GameStop h8.

how is it in single player?

I can't really be bothered with multiplayer, I find single player more relaxing.

I've never played dota.

I don't like RTS games, but I do love rpg games, even the "action rpg" style (diablo, titan quest, sacred).

Does this game have enough in single player to make it worth my while?

I wasn't sure how I felt about this game at first, but after a couple of hours, I'm beginning to find it so amazingly addictive.

The buds and I on Vent were screaming for victory and I have to admit it's the most fun I've had in a while.

These were issues during the beta months ago...

who has time for this when DoW2 kicks so much ass
