This Game Sucks!!!

I think he was being sarcastic. It was creatively done but the post is what is known as a "troll". Posted to get a reaction.
Ive fallen for a few like this before.

I am pretty sure the poster actually likes dominions.... It was a jocular post laced with sarcasm.

Jesus, you seem to dislike the game for the very reason that I like it. I bought the game and love the game, because it has enough options to keep me interested.

Actually, I think if you read him a little more closely, you'll find that he likes the game for exactly the same reasons you do. He just chose an odd way of expressing it.

Sounds to me like he was parodying the gamespot reviewer. (And if you were - why not go post this on gamespot as well? Just be sure to make it a little more explicit that that is what it is - most of their readership would never figure it out otherwise)

For example, I find it hard to beleive that anyone could seriously suggest that a game should only have 1 spell per path and 2 different kinds of combat units....

Just what we need - sarcastic troll Posts from fans of the game. Too much!

The initial reasons listed would confuse the reader if they don't read the entire thing - there are people, and quite a lot of them, out there who would see those as genuine faults.

But that Last reason tells you for sure that it's a joke post. This kinda post'll have trolling effects (on folks that don't read the whole thing, or are unconvinced), but hard to say if it's an intentional troll without knowing the poster. Probably not, imo.

Bah, anyone who says he spent 2 days going through the manual and reading the walk through before installing the game and then Posts something like this must be joking.

Note he did say he was hooked, if he really had that many problems with the game he would just uninstall.

Sorry for the confussion, I hadn't intended it to be so obscure... I thought it was funny, and did not mean it to be a troll (though I have been know to do that)

I just wanted to introduce myself and state why I like the game, and thought I would try and incorporate some humor into it... Yet, as they do say "saracsm does not work on the internet".

I am actually thankful for all those things, and this a game I can surely sink my teeth into...

oh, and yes my wife knows I post things like that, sarcasm works better in real life.

One honest complaint I did have was that the computer managed the battles. I found this to be a litte bit of a let down. Yet, after realizing all the variables you DO have to control battles as well as the mounds of other MMing you need to do within a turn I was rather thankful that I didn't need to control the fights as well. (Plus, simultaneous moves are awesome for Multiplayer) Also, I am not to crazy about the graphics, but as I said that is not what I buy games for or I would settle for boring games like Myst.

Sorry once again about the pseudo-troll, I will try not to feed them.
