well, as an old DoTA (defense of the ancients for the uneducated of us) addict, Iv'e just recently watched the new Demigod reviews which aren't very good, and I was just thinking, damn, this game couldv'e been an insane hit,

If the game was taken as it is, Made multiplatform (PC,PS3,X360),

Make the console versions controls just like the cookie-cutter hack n' slash console rpgs aka Baldur's gate: Dark alliance and Champions of norrath,

This game is very multiplayer focused, so for instance add a single player campaign, which will be abit Unreal Tournament-like, I mean various challenges, that basiclly tells a story and gives background to the characters and factions in the game, but overall make the single player experience close to the multiplayer one, since that's the main focus of the game, I'm pretty sure anyone here who played any of the Unreal tournaments single players understand what I'm trying to say,

Invest alot in making the multiplayer for all 3 platforms bug free and lag free as much as possible, maybe make sort of a network like B.net,

add to the console versions split-screen 2 players multiplayer, people with a large enough TV can benefit from it alot,

make it fact paced addictive and fun, just like DoTA was,

this can be an insane hit, I mean DoTA has a Huge fanbase of players, and it's just a mod! The idea of making a full fledged original game that revolves the core elements and ideas of DoTA is brilliant, just Demigod's execution was terrible...

It's maybe my greatest gaming wish that some company would have the guts to make such a game and execute it well :P

what do you guys think?

Dont let reviews tell you how games are, i dissagree with about 90% of reviews these days. So instead of trusting others reviews, i make my own opinion after i play the game

Demigod is awesome and i could care less about some silly reviews.

The gameplay in Demigod is top notch.

"just Demigod's execution was terrible..." You base this off of videos? How about you actually try the game first before bashing it. Silly gamers these days paying so much attention to reviews.

what he said. in fact pay attention and read the reviews not the score, it scored badly due to the connection issues which are been fixed. the reviews i have read said the game is great fun.

I have indeed read the reviews and watched the video reviews as well, I'm not basing what Iv'e said upon the score, Neither Iv'e said anything bad about the gameplay, apparently you didn't get what I was trying to point out, I didn't say the gameplay was bad, if it was bad my entire post didn't have too much of a meaning since in my post I have written "take the game as it is", Iv'e just written what should be fixed and added, in order the create a masterpiece of a game, demigod has its flaws on top of it as well, what I was trying to point out in my entire post was again, this game could have been a masterpiece with just a few tweaks that Iv'e pointed out in my post. your'e hating for all the wrong reasons.

You're retarded. If you actually paid any attention to Demigod, you'd know that the only reason it got low scores was from it's connectivity problems and to some people, a lack of a "campaign". But as you said, it is multiplayer focused, so right off the bat the campaign is redundant. Demigod is an azmaing game Stardock just needed to tweak the online settings. For the most part, everythings fixed now. The main issue lies with people from other countries connecting to eachother, and when that happens, it prevents others from connecting as well as freezing the connection. So stardock is putting proxy servers in the different countries to offset this. Go look up how much work Stardock has been doing with this game.

Don't be an idiot, pay attention to what's actually going on. The game is stellar, the graphics, gameplay, sound, and multiplayer (when it works) is absolutely stellar. It has been hailed as the counterstrike of strategy games. It's extremely competitive and fun.

Do yourself a favor, and buy this game. It's amazing. Better than DotA easily... which is unbalanced as hell.

I think the lack of a campaign is a valid criticism of the game. I mean the lore is so potentially deep and the setting is particularly strong. When you have strong settingsl ike this is makes you wonder wyh they didn't add a single player campaign onto the game.

oh ffs, have you even read my post? all I was saying was what the game was lacking in order to create (for me atleast) a perfect game, If youv'e read my post you should have known I didn't have any prob with the gameplay of it neither it's graphics, what youv'e written had nothing to do with what I was trying to point out, youv'e proven to be much more retarded than me it seems.

I misread some of your sentences, I guess it came off like you were saying it sucks because of the reviews. But anyways, I don't think a console version would be any good without mouse and keyboards, the graphics would also take a noticeable hit. I guess I'm just so sick of hearing people bashing Demigod and Stardock, even though they are both great, there was just a mishap at launch. I just wish people would pay attention to the good things Stardock has done and is doing to fix Demigod. Demigod still has a chance of being a very serious multiplayer game on PC as is... once word of mouth gets through that the problems have been fixed, and once the DotAtards get over it, they will flock to Demigod.

it's fine. actully this topic was more like a praise to Demigod, that some company finally made a game that's more original and have done it actully very well except for a few flaws that stop it from being perfect, but I'm really hoping that kind of RTS/RPG playstyle will become more popular, I just always thought the entire Idea behined dota was great if it was just taken into a better form, such as Demigod, it's just that the lack of a serious back story kinda hurts the entire feeling of the game since the game hosts really interesting characters, and dunno, I really like knowing the story behined the game universe...and having no story kinda annoying me, but really in my opinion atleast Demigod is really a huge leap forward. and well, I actully think that this game would work excellent on consoles, just changing the controls to be more hack n' slash-console like, and well, the ps3 would have no prob at all running this game, graphics will not be taken back at all.

Yeah that's true. I personally think DotA is too cluttered.. I mean 50 something heroes? How can you balance that? I think that's just too excessive. I like how slim and lean Demigod is. The balance is excellent right out of the box and with future updates is only gonna become perfect. Demigods graphics are also gorgeous. I love the playstyle for sure and hope it is embraced. For backstory, if you go to the Demigod website, and read about each of the characters, there is actually a very deep backstory. It's a shame they didn't integrate it with the game. The story is there, they for some reason just didn't implement it into the game. I don't think a campaign per se would work though. After all, this a fight to be the God. A tournament. Maybe they should've taken the fighting game route and given each Demigod a story and some cgs to compliment their rise to Godhood, followed by an ending CG showing how that particular Demigod would have ruled the world. Good idea? I suppose the controller would be fine for hack and slash assassin Demigods, but it would be ill-suited to general Demigods who command troops RTS style in which case a mouse and keyboard shines through. It might work with some innovative tuning. I'm sure the PS3 and 360 could RUN Demigod, I just don't think it would be a smooth and crisp experience like it is on PC. Remember Supreme Commander on 360? It was horrendous... and Demigod uses the same engine as Supreme COmmander.
