Poll #2. [Try out the demo, and vote after that!]

[Shir Khan]

Hi, I just tried out this demo. This is a weird game, but I beat the AI on the hardest level in my second game.
I think this is not normal. In any other games, it is impossible to beat an AI so easily. I guess the AI must be very weak.

LMAO, Illwinter must hire Mr. Cpbeller...with his help they can sell lot more copies, I am sure. [Feel the sarcasm?]

Anyways I won't argue with you man, you are very wrong in lot of things.
I advice, take a look at the poll, just in case.

As a "mostly solo player" I am hoping for a decent AI. Well actually, a decent AI spread. Easy should be easy but hard should be hard.

But I wouldnt say its the worst. There are alot of games where the AI was little more than a way to get thru a tutorial period. Particualrly where the programming concentrated on MP play. It wasnt meant as a real opponent. I get the impression that the AI in Dom2 is meant as an opponent though.

Im still testing things so Im not saying alot about what I like and dont like about Dom2. But as far as the AI thing goes Im just wondering how people tested it. I found in Dom 1 that the AI was extremely fair about how it treated AI/Human players. Pros and Cons. Thats something we all complained about in other games when human players were picked on by AI or when AI cheated.

Anyway, I found in the past that if you played with all the races turned on then a player could easily use the AI vs AI combats to his advantage. Especially on small maps. The AI in Dom2 MIGHT (I havent tested this) might put on a better show if there are fewer races or if someone would make a larger playing map.

I think someone pointed out already the fact that there is always a wide difference in the people using web forums over other discussion areas. Webbies tend to be soloists. People more into social interaction tend to painfully find their way into forums such as newsGroups and IRC chats. Ive worked for ISPs since they were invented and Ive seen this difference.

When do people freaking get it? Dom II is made for MP. You may not like the game but that doesn't give you any freaking rigths to post crap spam here. If you don't like the game, don't buy it!


You can play SP, ignore MP and whine but that won't change the fact:
Dom II is made for MP.

I was under the impression Dom 2 was made for both sp AND mp, if that is not true I will wish to cancel my preorder...and btw THAT gives me the right to complain as I have already paid for the game.
