Hello to all readers, except support, devs and publisher who completely ignore most of what is said in these forums and will probably never read this...
Well, until now i was quite happy with Stardock and Gas Powered Games products until.... Demigod.
It started quite bad as i have a SteelSeries 5hV2 Headset (USB soundCard) and the game doesn't work at all with it. This is very annoying as this sound device is just very good...
This was quite surprising for me as all other games i have are all working perfectly (Sins of Solar Empire and Supreme Commander and all others). So i went to the forums, tech support, and saw that i am not the only one concerned with this issue... Another customer posted that this problem was totally ignored by support, publisher and even devs... This is my first disappointment as i thought this was serious companies... As i said in the last post for this problem they could at least post an answer even if it they finally state that the concerned device is not supported and won't be... Lack of courtesy from all so cf web link...
Fortunately i reinstalled and reactivated my onboard sound device wich works with the game (even if i have to crouch to change jacks only for this game). So i thought that i may live with the game like this, but this was before playing as there are some sound problems. The death whispers persisting for unknown reason and covering all the sounds the game may play... So each time it happens i continue until i am uppset and then restart game to correct the problem for a moment (maybe devs are too many windows oriented as it is really close to some O.S. problems... shutdown and restart 0_o).
So, again, i thought i may live with it until they patch... lol... Hope keep us alive... Buuuut when i started to play on hard level i discovered the game is really bad balanced (i do not speak about lower diffculty levels as it is just ridiculous as it is easy to beat everything) as you'll soon see that no matter what you do or how you play, your teammates (AI) are just utter noobs... You will see that the opposing team is just levelling twice faster and many times even more... 0_o again. You'll see that the AI just makes that all enemies are rushing you (human player) while teammates are... well... buftying around in the map and come just to die... 0_0 ...
You'll noticed that even if the maps are quite small no decent path finding has been implemented what makes me laugh seriously about skills of the dev teams. I stopped to count how many times the controlled demigod start to twist in front of an edge of map (wich is the case on all maps...) lol... where are the testers ???? In Acapulco i think under sun shine at beach i suppose lol... I do not even talk about the space bar thing to change camera position as if you click at same time you'll be like the "Ancients" (say it with cavernous voice) somewhere in the void.. lol... Ok i stop about gameplay issues... Errr lack of testing and development... In the end i am glad that these companies are not working for the DoD because when the army will test a new missile in fort Bragg it will fall in Fayetteville lol...
Finally i stop to play it... I'll do like support, publisher, devs and ignore this completely. Unfortunately for me i bought the game before going on holiday and now i cant go to the shop to change this game for another one as i haven't kept the ticket 0_0... In the same way i think i'll avoid... Errr... ignore from now GpG and Stardock products as i did with Ubisoft for same reasons : support completely inexistent and bugged/unfinihsed games..
I am really disapointed as the reputation of these companies are now ruined for me... A shame guys as it started well... and you could not keep it up...
Chema out.
