I enjoy it. Connection issues are getting better but not perfect. It wil be better for us kiwis once smart proxying is up this week. Even with all the issues I find the game itself an absolute blast and enjoy a couple of games a night.

P.S. If you are in Wellington and do want to buy it get it from JBhifi. Better yet buy it online, its about $64 NZD (2.8 GB)

It's such a great Game!

If you don't have big conection problems... well i play it longer most days, then i did MMORPGs... and MMORPGS really took MUCH of my time... but Demigod beats that

But i know right... there's a 100% refund if you are not happy with the game... so the only answer can be: Why are you not already playing?!

the game itself is pretty good, the devs has been able to make a variation on the principe of dota and not just make a clone of that mod.

But it has also had a lot of problems, most of them are gone now and the devs seem to be working hard to solve those that remain. The next update is meant to solve all of the netcode problems, i doubt it will but the connectivity should be at least decent.

If you are a casual gamer, don't buy it (yet).

Skirmish and Pantheon are not working properly and if you don't know how to forward ports on your router you are probably doomed anyway.

The game is great but tons of people left because of bugs and connectivity.

I thought Silk23 was trying to sell me his copy for a second, is JB in the Hutt ?  Thank you for your fast replies, Sounds like things are moving fast which is good, I think I can't help myself and have to give Demigod a try it just looks like such fun.

Haha, I'll keep mine thanks.

JB HiFi is in the city, on Willis street in the BNZ tower

If you do purchase it, I recommend you play through singleplayer for a while and become familiar with one of the characters, then go on the strategies forum and see what people are doing with that character. You should now be able to absolutely demolish the AI, sometihng like 10 - 20 kills/ 1-3 deaths is a reasonable kills-deaths to have at the end of the game playing against hard AI...

Then come online and you should be able to play without getting whipped

Once you're online you should be able to play in Australian, New Zealand, and possibly US West custom games without any issues with lag.

Yes, this game is great. If you don't like it after purchase, you can get a full refund. There's no real reason not to try it at least.

Yes the biggest (not the one and only, no need to flame ) problems are "cheap" preconfigured PCs.... doesn't matter which game it is.

Or you have an ISP like a firend of mine that blocks the UDP Ports... But he isn't that sad about it... With Gameranger or Hamachi he still has fun

The mechanics of the game are amazing, well designed, and enjoyable.

There are serious connection issues to this date, and there is no real competitive system.  If you want to be a competitive player, you go to custom games, and look for other premades.  Or you use an alternative game-finding sytem.

Well, yes, that is the rationale.

Obviously a "pro" player should be able to handle any situation, but to be honest, DG is a team game.

If you want to be competitive, you want to eliminate as much random chance as possible.  I.E, you don't want your teams(or the teams of your opponents) to be inherently stacked poorly because of differences in skill, playstyle, latency, etc etc.

A premade team vs. a premade team is going to result in the most competitive, balanced matchup available, and that's all there is to it. 

Also, the peope with high win ratios are most likely at least in large part lucky.  Due to so many 2v1, 2v0, 4v0 game starts, I have seen plenty of amazing players that have absolutely terrible ratings in Pantheon.
