Amount of fun game provides is not equal to price

from Demigod Forums

This game is the worst. I can't believe it! I spent all that money to pre-order and help develop a game that should be considered in the pre, pre alpha stage, not beta! I feel that we, as a beta testing people, have been unfairly duped by the developer into paying for and testing a very incomplete game! My goodness, I am honestly rightly rounded off here! Please, return my money! You may nuke this post as I expect will happen, but please return my hard-earned money onto my person! I think we deserve honest answers and realistic expectations for this game. In it's current state, it will flop and flop hard! In reality, the developers made us pay money so that we could test a game that we would never play otherwise!

 

I am sorry if this post is a bit harsh but by golly I am quite angry over here!

If I could get my money back I would. This is honestly the worst "game" I've ever played; even for a "beta." I'm pretty sure I won't even bother playing the final product at this point.

While I am disappointed in the direction they have chosen with this game and wish I hadn't put money into it, threads like this won't accomplish much unless you give actual feedback instead of saying how much this game sucks.

a spy is sapping my forum!!

oups sorry wrong game,  but still is that some sort of joke/troll ??

because i cant do anything else than disagreeing, the game is still in beta and while being far from perfect (but it is because of that that we need beta) i can already see that the gameplay is solid and original.

And pre beta stage??? are you kidding?? please go trolling somewhere else because in total fairness there are one or 2 things that need to be fixed before release but appart from that the game is really close to be done.

I respectfully disagree.

I like the game, the fun it provides me and the stable performance i get on my dated system.

In no way the game is perfect, but it is still in BETA and i trust, from experiance with Stardock, that it will get much better.

 

And i believe you are trolling.

I will never understand trolls.  You just have to feel sorry for the little guys.

you had me at "rounded off" and "by golly"

I assume you are visiting from the 1950's?

 Oh and btw, the game is worth it - maybe give it another go?

To the OP:  With all due respect, do you understand the concept of BETA software?

To quote wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_version#Beta

'Beta' is a nickname for software which has passed the alpha testing stage of development and has been released to users for software testing before its official release. Beta testing allows the software to undergo usability testing with users who provide feedback, so that any malfunctions these users find in the software can be reported to the developers and fixed. Beta software can be unstable and could cause crashes or data loss.

I dont blame him - he was expecting a beta such as the RA3 and DoW2 ones which were just online demos.

This isnt meant to be an online demo - its meant to be a real beta.
