So I see Demigod just went gold..

I am still not certain I will be getting it or not, but here is the announcement off of Blues News...



PLYMOUTH, Mich., April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Stardock (www.stardock.com) announced today that the highly anticipated real-time action strategy PC game, Demigod, has gone gold. Demigod is set to hit store shelves in North America on April 14 and will also be available for download on Stardock's digital distribution platform Impulse (www.impulsedriven.com). Pre-orders are now available on Impulse for both the standard edition ($39.95) and the collector's edition ($49.95.)



Developed by renowned gaming studio Gas Powered Games, Demigod delivers an epic game experience by combining elements of its acclaimed strategy game Supreme Commander and its award-winning Dungeon Siege role-playing game series.



In Demigod, a god has fallen, leaving an opening in the Pantheon. Players take control of a Demigod, waging war in spectacular arenas against others to ascend to godhood.



Each battle takes place in an arena, where players earn gold and experience in battle which can then be used to acquire new abilities, learn magical spells, purchase better equipment and improve their faction's Citadel with the goal to lay waste to the opposing faction.



Demigod makes use of Stardock's Impulse Reactor which provides intelligent match-making, on-line tournaments, player skill ratings, and much more.



"We are extremely happy with how Demigod has turned out," said Stardock's CEO and president Brad Wardell. "Demigod is the kind of game that we think players will be playing years from now. It has a really fun single-player tournament, and it has online features that let both casual and competitive players create their own fun and unique gaming experiences."



"We're proud of what the Demigod team has accomplished," said Chris Taylor, CEO of Gas Powered Games. "They've created an original world and setting, with spectacular art direction and characters, and have matched it with unique gameplay that seamlessly mixes elements from multiple genres."



While most PC games are released at $49.95 or more, Demigod has been priced at only $39.95 due largely to Stardock and GPG's confidence that Demigod is a game that will appeal to a very broad set of PC gamers.

Atleast it'll be the best pc game this spring/summer. I have no regret with my preorder.|||FA is better. I sitll have my fingers crossed for supcom 2.|||Avoid at all costs.|||Ignore above poster. Demigod is not amazing but is still pretty good.|||I'm sorry gnats3, but I've played it since beta1, and it's ended up one of the most inane games I've ever played. The items are dull, the skills are dull and you get too few of them. Great I can damage or stun you. The flags holy crap is that a shitty mechanic.



Not everyone is the same. I can accept other people enjoy it.



Please, what makes this game interesting to you?|||Sorry Zordon, I enjoy the game. I know the Generals didn't go the way they should, but Stardock has shown to be very open minded about changes and I fully expect this game to evolve way beyond its current point.



The fact that I'm seeing enthusiasm for the game from top level SupCom vets like TBO just confirms that this game is full of potential, very much like SupCom was when it launched (flawed but a great game underneath).



What gives me hope this time around is we have Stardock, not THQ, committed to supporting this game post launch. They have a whole year of patches and content additions already scheduled for this game, and that doesn't include expansions.



I've been very critical of this game where I think they've gone off coarse. I've argued with Brad about what needs to change with Generals. Despite that, I still enjoy the game and believe they will make good on their promises to revisit certain design elements and revamp them as needed.|||Quote:|||Actually, it really starts getting fun after a few dozen matches.|||Soul|||Leyline
