I did say I was going to wait until I had an informed review of the game. I'm sick of magazines publishing half finished reviews of games based around beta - that's no way to review a game.

Reviewing with the connectivity issues on day 1 is a pretty low blow for the game, and I'll not mention that at all in my review. As far as I'm concerned, everyone knows that you don't play on launch day, and if you do, you should expect teething issues.

Stardock have done amazing things in 24 hours to sort out the issues, but overall, it's been a phenomenal launch.

Now, stop replying to my posts, I have demigods to play

Didn't gamespot review the game off of a review copy sent by the company, not a beta?

Gamespot review score depend on how much the dev pay them . ''CoughKane&Lynch''

For those who don't know the story about Kane & lynch review . A reviewer name Jeff got fired by GS because he scored the game 6.0 . we later found out that the dev of Kane and Lynch paid GS to have a 8.0+ review score !

I know of the Kane and Lynch fiasco, but never heard the part about anybody actually finding out that they did pay for a 8+ score. 

Did Jeff come out and say that directly?

Limited?  What?  Pretty much all generals have harcoded 2 builds to begin with.  Torchbearer also has 2 different elements, and there's also the hybrid builds, and the rest also still have at least a couple ways of building.  For generals, there's also the question of whether or not to spend gold on Idols or equipment first.

Take Rook for example.  I don't even bother with the popular hammer and ball trees and instead do almost all my damage passively via auto weapons, attack power buff, towers, and tower life drain.  I can't kill demigods really, but I completel wreck their base.

 

So THAT's how to play him!   Lol.    I always go hammer and health.  10k health by lvl 10.  It's nice.  But I suck at destroying bases.

Well...that doesn't sound very credable.  Not going to call you a liar, but from my recollection is was more speculation (although the speculation has some basis) but nothing concrete ever came out of the whole thing.

Of course correct me if I am wrong...

I strongly believe they are harshly reviewing the game because of the lack of copy protection and influences of other larger game companies not wanting to look bad for putting crazy stupid copy protection on their games.

What exactly do you disagree with in the review besides the score?
