Games In Review: Demigod (Machinima.com)

[jt26cfcerfani]

The best thing about Demigod is that it doesn't have the idiotic, elitist community of DotA. Only DotA players would pirate a game from a company that hates DRM and actually cares more about the customer. You can go read Stardock's gamers bill of rights.

I applaud you oh might DotA fans.

[CoreMarine]

Only reason this isnt as good as people think is the bad internet gameplay. This was meant for online gameplay but for some reason the online play just sucks as you cant even connect to people.

[Dillon3672]

I must say i am enjoying this game so far. I never played DOTA for Warcraft 3 but that may be the reason why this game feels so great to me.

[coolboy499]

How can this shit be lower than Halo Wars? This game was 10 times better than Halo Wars. Reviewers are just bullshit.

[Teranex]

Im suprised that noone has written:

Its a fucking DOTA damit, how good can it be anyway?

[RSCNyx]

This game is a nightmare. It tries to be like DotA (A popular custom map on Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne), but fails on so many fundamental levels.

Just a bad game to play.

[roscosity]

DotA pwns this

[delta5800]

80% of all the people who play this online have downloaded the game for free. =D

[AstralBrandon]

you cant play online if you get it for free...

[thecreepyguy]

Wait wait..

RPG style mixed with Real time stratergy

I hope to fucking god this isnt a shitty little dow2 remake that game was godawful and if i had to play the same shit again i'd just go to the kitchen knife and end it all....BUT HEY IT DOESNT HAVE WINDOWS LIVE AS AN ADD ON SO HOW COULD IT BE WORSE THEN DOW2?!!?!?!? haha but na ill pay the 50 bucks for it in the morning what are they saying about LACK OF MICROMANAGING WTF DOW2 REMAKE IS IT TELL ME TELL ME NOW I WONT BUY IT THEN!

[mizeriq]

It's quite different from dow2, but it's still crap.

[killercanclan]

DoW 2 rocks u just sucked at it online and thats why u hate it lol pathetic little boy

[GutsandGlory45]

wait, most of those's guys gave it over a 8 who is the bottom lime 7.4?

[dimsimboy1]

that guy gav a 5.4 i think

[BADASSSANTI]

is this going to be on the 360?

[KidSparky90]

Looks really cool.

[zolevokpk]

This will be only fun for those players who never played DotA. for me nothing can change Dota its the best

[xXxShankersxXx]

what is DotA?

[zolevokpk]

Defend of the Ancients War 3 mod. its so big that its played on WCG almost as popular as CS

[TXComics]

at 0:33 kinda makes me think of a more futuristic version of Artemis's Hunters.

[iatebobby]

Awesome

[hiu62f]

Wow, I can't believe Youtube let me upload a video of my ex-girlfriend naked. I wonder how long it'll be before they remove it?

[bronan19]

DRAGONS

[unsoundmedia]

I purchased this game and I am very dissappointed.....like a lot of people. The game has no story, no training for news(not me), and a completely broken Multiplayer p2p system. Oh ya and only 8 maps.....for 50$

[unsoundmedia]

*newbs

*disappointed

[Itoby2]

90% of all players downloaded it from pirate bay xD LoL

[unsoundmedia]

I have the pirated version without patches and it plays much better than the retail version on LAN.....lol

See you in Himatchi

[rotnem07825]

Damn you, do you have any idea the amount of effort Stardock is going through, along with GPG, to fix the server backlash from Pirated keys?

[unsoundmedia]

lol pirated keys... backlog of pirated keys is pure BS.....you know how easy it is to filter the legit keys and the pirated ones....why do you think their are updates? Almost all the pirated version are playing the .91 version which to me is the most stable version.

[rotnem07825]

Yes, I have an idea on how easy it is to filter it, especially Stardocks' cloud base system. Still, it doesn't stop them backlogging the system when it was first out. Especially when it was unexpected when Gamestop decided to sell the game a few days earlier then agreed.

[rotnem07825]

Stardock and GPG are currently trying to fix the multiplayer of the game. It's a good investment, believe me. It's a game meant to be played online.

[unsoundmedia]

Let me be honest...my 50$ investment into this game did not go far. I can't play a single multiplayer game without crashing....I see no reason to play the single player version since there is no story, no challenge...period.

I own a license for this game..I'd rather play a functioning game with pirates then waste 2 hours completly reconfiguring my router and then hoping I'll connect to a game. I know Stardock is working hard on their proxy servers..but this should have been working since day 1.

[rotnem07825]

Yes, you are right. Stardock should'nt have had this problem on day 1. They also admit to this mistake terribly.

There is a challenge, just no story. Sadly though the game is meant to be played online and is targeted to those who play games casually, which is why even an online match lasts 15 to 20 minutes.

You shouldn't have to reconfigure your router now to play the game. From the updates I've been getting the game should work well in the States.

[SavetheKing87]

So is there still connection issues or not? I'm in Michigan but from the forums and other youtube posts people keep saying to just wait. I've played DotA since 2005 but I wanted to give this and League of Legends a try.

So basically should I wait to get this game, and if so could you send me a private message when they've made the major fixes?

[0Linkpwned0]

Is it even an RTS? I mean, sure it has the layout of one, but I haven't even seen any gameplay. :/

[CrysisNvid8800]

Mixed reviews = bad game for people with experience playing many games

Casual player = Great Game

Hardcore PLAYER = Demicrap!!!!!

7.4 Pfffff! ANything below 8.5 and it is a rent!

[saviordd1]

@CrysisNvid8800 prob is its hard to rent PC games

[cpnamn]

"Getting a copy right now is a little like buying an impenetrable plexiglass box containing a unicorn made out of bacon."

epic win comment by 1UP

[dartvader117]

fantastic game. DOTA realized

[NickIsOriginal]

This looks like a fucking rip off of halo wars, not a singe perfect score. i wouldn't even download a DEMO for this shit,

[greenpirate64]

Except it's nothing like Halo Wars. Besides, what the hell is Halo Wars other then a rip-off of every other RTS. Dumb shit.

[Glandorray]

I think they did a decent job of putting it on the 360...It's really just a bridge to something that could be even cooler.

[Mantetny666]

wow u get halo wars b4 dota...

do u even know what halo wars and demigod is like?

[NickIsOriginal]

i got the halo wars demo and it sucked. so why would i want to get a rip off if it can

t even get a perfect score from all those critics

[spike0918]

@NickIsOriginal: Dude its called the fucking RTS genre this is in no way like Halo Wars other than its genre. So go back to whining on XBL.

[rotnem07825]

Rip off? This game has been in production for roughly the same time as Halo Wars and they are totally different games. There is the RPG aspect to it as well.

Also, it's very difficult to get a perfect score from critics. Name ten games that've gotten a perfect score in 10 years, and I'd say we both would only come up with three, four at best.

[Mantetny666]

exactly right i think nick got dropped when he was a kid

[rotnem07825]

You know what, I think you're on to something!

[Ezldor]

lol , i hate u XD

[Sugadaddy774]

I heard this game got leaked to torrent sites and now some ridiculous figure like 80% of all people who own the game got it illegally? That true?

[Oobie134]

yup

sucks doesnt it

[TOXIC1910]

pretty much lol

the company who made it probably thought that if they did leak it more people would be interested in it

[rotnem07825]

The company is GPG, the same developers that brought us Supreme Commander, the spiritual successor of Total Annihilation. They wouldn't have done that.

Instead Stardock released a Beta almost a year ago. A lot of fun too.

[wolverine005]

You all just lost the game.

[alexdaplayar110]

hahaha ilove the game

[LegendMafia]

pretty cool game

[Hadgren]

Played it, amazing for multiplayer but single player is so lacking it'll make you bored after an hour or so.

Lesson, only play this if you plan to multiplayer it.

[fernando101090]

looks interesting

[ExtraCheese67]

A Demigod is a mortal but the son of a greek god like kratos in God of War he is the son of Zues

[jarik258]

i torrent it and played and for my just boring

[Poketron12]

I gotta say... looks amazing.

[unsoundmedia]

Don't judge a book by it's cover......wait until this game is ready..

[CoolKidX85]

Average score = 7.4?

It deserves more.

[XxICraigIxX]

horrible game gonna sell it

[theGraveVirus]

I played that game and I can tell you...

That it sucks fucking balls!

seriously the trailers looked ok but the game sucks ass.

[iBackHandHoz]

Soooo... RTS? Action? This looks awesome but I'm a little confused about what the gameplay will be offering. Fingers crossed for an RPG/Action kind of thing, probably more RTS-like though.

[iWalshy]

that advert looks awesome, but I don't think I'll be buying the game

[odysseas53]

me neither

[99strnojoke]

epic

[Farkeman]

this game is awsome online , its like dota just with bether graphics ^^ and more heroes , gear is comming up in expansion thing + 5v5 games are insane , most fun game i ever played

[cv0devil]

bt if you didn't buy the game go sck your head, I don't like pirates

[perreterecon]

It looks very well, but the map of the video isnt tooo simple?

[RationalTheism]

It's not good... at all

Not the same addictive feel as DotA

[elemineseslapolla]

I dont like this game

[ArchMageFarnos]

this gameplay looks awesome but the game sucks bad....

[Vertrexz]

Some gampleay footage would have been nice...

[mommysantichrist]

damn 1up and their crappy scoring

[icepheniox123]

this i guess is only on PC?

[icepheniox123]

wtf "i ur face if it is " that makes no sence, christ i was asking if it was on any different platforms other then PC and if your are going to try and insult me kid try to spell right! dick!

[thadude1337]

fine.......its pc only is that better?

[FableWinner]

no it is not

[thadude1337]

i can only find it to pc so i can´t say anything different if u think its not only to pc

[thadude1337]

oh i was going to write "in" guess i did´nt press N

[darklordjac]

its awesome i have it fun as fuck

[M1l1ardo]

Looks really good

[darkshinmoteuchi]

It's more RPG on arenas - You can't control your army, but it's fun as hell!

[cify2]

i don't think that hell is fun >_>

[darkshinmoteuchi]

So GTFO N00b

[cify2]

Sir, you have some problems

[kptkaracho]

great game

lots of fun with friends in multiplayer

and really nice graphics

[CoD6MW2]

It looks ok, not great, but ok.

[iTubeMoovies]

some people say dota is over rated

but

For something thats free(with WC3)

it has 93 charcters and much better gameplay

[Doomroeplayerbg]

oh yeah! I agree with you :)

[Steelfrogmedia]

Demigod is pretty solid, but it obviously was never meant to be a single player experience. It shines in a LAN setting, though.

[ebenheart]

I thought this game was fucked cause everyone illegally downloaded it

[Keromor]

Trust me this games is nothing special, people illegally download every game and im sure this games hasnt hit a record, it sucks as you thought your levels would carry on thoughn the campaign but nope you start lvl 1 everytime which sucks

[Pilex13]

During a single campaign match you level up to 10-15. If you don't, I have bad news for you...

Oh and the game is fucking multiplayer

[Keromor]

a game without a good single player is shit just like you

[CoD6MW2]

This game specifically. So many people illegally downloaded it lol.

[PoisonedHeirloom]

It got #3 in sales, faggot. And that doesn't include the digital purchases.

[Keromor]

Why the insults ? little boy using big words huh ? and as a record numbnuts i was talking about it hasnt got a record in illegal downloads LOOSER

[PoisonedHeirloom]

Geez, I think I hit a nerve.

It's spelled loser. And the expression is "and for the record". Learn to control your e-rage.

[AdMAHraMeR]

ffffffffffffffffffaggot

[nicha112]

what th.... ahhh never mind

[PoisonedHeirloom]

Huhwhat

[jeroenbeest]

I have to read the text, watch the rating and watch the gameplay?

video is fail

[mikezdazda]

multitasking fail.

[BrawnX]

1Up's review was funny, in a strange way.

I bought this game a day ago and it's decent.

[pabulica]

played it, finished it

its basically DOTA

gameplay is the Same thing Over and Over and Over again

ending sucks

overall, NOT worth it

[thePawn360]

guys i think its betther than dota, game is completly awesome, only thing is.. there are only about 8 heroes :(

[pabulica]

nope

[church947]

i love these type of reviews

[evilfuzz86]

whats DOTA?

[wickedninja113]

just some very over rated game on warcraft 3

[UltimateFighter619]

DOTA is a map on Warcraft 3 which is pretty much overused online but is still a great success.

[rosiebelsmith]

Defense of the Ancients

its a warcraft 3 mod but it's pretty much turned into it's own game because it's so popular

you control a single hero instead of an entire army and get items and stuff and fight other heroes

[HitodamaKyrie]

Mention Stardock, plaz.

[BlackThoughtTB]

can't wait to try this out..i've gotten relatively tired of DotA

[DeucesINC]

....

I almost got excited till I saw only on PC

[6201055]

yeah bummer

[Flow764]

You really would buy a RTS for 360 or PS3? Man you must be pretty desperate...

[DeucesINC]

Well I like games like this I just don't have a fast enough computer to run games GTA IV made my computer die..

[RNightlife]

I think it's going to be a fun game, though because we've already had so many great games with awesome graphics, the ratings go way below it's point (or it's the fact that people don't really like these games anymore)

[nic0dem8D]

honestly id rather play dota

and i still do

[Tobydelaroka]

DOTA RIP OFF.

[Pupixario]

Far better faggot

[steffen54321]

DotA tribute... get it right

[paullok0]

better not be mexican bacon...

[amusa07]

Even though it has nothing to do with this game I wish I was the God of War guy and started destroying these characters XD

[sheeep55]

The graphics look AMAZING at different points

Nice! xD

[mhunt300]

since when did metacritic get a youtube page?

picking only parts of entire reviews isn't ethical and so is converting a score based on a 5 point system to a 10 point system

[elianpz]

the game is awsome im having soo much fun whit it its defenetly a must buy

[1reaped2the3dead4]

its like an RTS but you cant control the infantry unless you're a general then you have minions.

[kikomiko1]

i wanna know what shit they've been smoking over at 1up.

[gn1t3]

lol yeah no kidding

[MelvinGotsNone]

XPLAAAAAAAAAY!

[watchfromtheshadows]

"getting a copy of this now is a little like buying an impenetrable plexiglass box containing a unicorn made out of bacon."

could someone please tell me wtf thats supposed to mean?

[OrigSilverTorch]

I guess the game is made out of baconunicorns that hide in plexiglass....or its just hard to get

[NlGHTMAREPRODUCTIONS]

Or maybe they are implying that, deep down, the game is as awesome as a unicorn made of bacon, but there is an impenetrable glass box around it that prevents you from getting to it. Basically, its one of those "could be a great game, but there is something preventing it from being so".

[OrigSilverTorch]

Maybe its all those people who pirated the game and fucked the online up by flooding the servers.

[unsoundmedia]

That's a thing of the past which only happened the first week.....It's been 3 weeks and it's still broken.....frog even admitted it was their fault check the log journals.

[Grim828]

it means it impossible.... im guessing

[nickzta22]

wer did u download it from?

[lunei66]

Looks pretty boring and dull, like the rest of them.

Nobody makes good games anymore like NOLF, at least Red Faction 3 is coming soon.

[TheFinalSaint]

no offence but Gas Powered games quality of work is kinda starting to drop.. They should of made a Dungeon Siege 3 or something. But Demigod does look quite good :D

[fireworks1party]

0:46... love it

[DaltenDC]

metal gear solid it the best game of all time XD !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ecom51]

Mmmmmmm....Bacon...

[leafcaliber]

wait is this only on pc

[KrypticAsylum]

1UP's review.

wtf

[jomthr33]

i want a recommendation of at least 10 good pc games, please!!

[Lovick001]

DemiGod is PC.

My Recommendation (No WoW)

Left 4 Dead

Red Faction Guerilla

Burnout Paradise

The Orange Box

Call of Duty 4 and 5

Fallout 3.

Those are some of the really good ones, but a bunch of those are multi-platform, and Red Faction doesn't come out for awhile. But if you get those for PC, you get all the mods along with official contents.

[relocmage]

horay another WoW sterotype

[Lovick001]

Yay, because WoW deserves to go die in the fire I lit under your house.

[VKGchaos]

so does your mum

[Lovick001]

God... So this is the hell people get for being nice to others? The guy asked for a recommendation of PC games and I gave him some.

That don't include shit.

Jeez.. Assholes.

[VKGchaos]

got no idea what your on about and i dont give a flying fuck either, i seen you post "Yay, because WoW deserves to go die in the fire I lit under your house" so i posted you something back. Now go fuck yourself

[Lovick001]

WoW sucks, thats what I'm on about.

I hate Youtube comments on the popular channels.. nothing but flamers...

[Waceo]

I want an albino to shit all over your cocksucking mouth, you needle dick prick

[mitchblahman]

i wana get it hella badly

[KNWQA]

the cinematics seem really good

[Who2Blame]

looks mentaly retarded

[ParadoX505]

i just want to see the more of that castle guy smashing stuff

and maybe that mutant dog thing seen at 0:22

ok fine, all of em, cause they all look epic

[JxSlayer4]

sweet game. Hey everyone, go check out my channel for some Rb2 solo Fcs and some Gh fcs. Subscribe if you think im pretty good. dont forget to rate. thx

[Ceribous]

what console?

[LegendarySock]

Looks intense.

[Sgtfuckface]

PC only? Booo!

[Xenxe777]

console RTS = fail

[Egger3rd]

It's for PC.  I agree though.

[JegXIII]

RTS = FAIL
