Elemental 'Day 0' Patch Now Available on Impulse

I thought Stardock wanted people to not buy this game

Wow, it looks as though this product is Demigod 2.0 - didn't they learn anything? I know that I, as a consumer, surely did. This game looks like it has some promise but I am not convinced that Stardock is capable of adequately supporting it (just like the joke that was Demigod). Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Promise and "good faith" alone does not sell a game.

You guys should actually fucking try playing the game instead of jumping on the Brad/Stardock sucks bandwagon. I just played for 4 hours straight with absolutely no issues.

For everyone jumping on Brad/wanting to know what it's about, here's his apology http://forums.elementalgame.com/392474

Enjoying Elemental, but it is rough around the edges. However the game has been entirely playable for the most part. Elemental is beautiful in a simple way, hard to explain. But the visuals are rich and the game sports some nice animations. The UI is clunky but again I expect some enhancements that will make the UI a little more intuitive. I very much like the turn based/role playing hybrid game design. I find the game becomes much more personal than your everyday turn based kingdom game. I have not been in too many battles so I'm not going to comment on that yet.

If you do not mind buying a game that could have used another month of polish I'd say buy it. I have not encountered any game breaking elements yet and right now the game is consuming all my free time. That must count for something. If you expect a feature rich game, I'd wait a month. As fast as Stardock is pushing out updates the game will be in much better shape.

just played for about 3 hours without a single crash, unlike last night when it would crash every 2-5 turns

Going to wait for the demo. If it has turn based combat I might even gift it to my GF as well.

Anyone actually try this yet? It looks interesting. I was watching some videos yesterday but have no been able to figure out whether I would try it or not.

"If you can find a better game, buy it." Okay, Brad.

This thing fell off the radar... usually when a game falls off the radar it's a bad sign.
