Yes, I totally agree! Morons cannot play this great game! They are whining because of the frustration. They were waiting for a new screensaver/movie watching game but they have got a fighting game instead.

Hmmm, the frustration part sounds right. The fighting is just clicky, clicky boredom because of the game's reliance on mobs of crap attacking you.

Nothing left to say, so I'll throw in another quote by the venerable DW Bradley:
<blockquote>As you might imagine, during the past several decades my approach to creating leading edge RPG and my computer game design philosophy has evolved quite a bit, and Dungeon Lords is a quantum leap, the crowning achievement of a lifetime's worth of experience to create a new class of RPG that really takes you there</blockquote>
In my opinion Dungeon Lords is not so bad game, but this quote by Bradley is LOL :lol:

Yes
would loving dungeon lords mean you're a scat fan?

It just seems like you must enjoy having shit streamed all over your face

No, I do not enjoy that. This is reason why I do not play Kotor2 or Bloodlines.

If you haven't played Bloodlines, then don't say any shit about it. Simple as that.

And there is no way in fucking hell DL is better than Bloodlines.

No one with standards would have thought much about playing Dungeon Lords after the demo.

But if I always based my expectations wholely on demos then I would have not have bothered with that gem called "Prince of Qin". Or Fallout.

Unfortunately, in this case the demo was a reasonably good reflection of what to expect in the final (I use that word loosely) version.

Edit:
I was going to add something in the lines of "you should as least wait for some reviews as well". But then I realised what I was saying, and that their were actually a couple of positive early reviews of Dung Lords, and decided that my advice was complete bollocks.
Couple that with the fact that even mediocre games can get good reviews, and no-one can agree on exactly what the good games are...*sigh*
Maybe it should be: try the demo, look at oodles of reviews, and be aware that the resultant good impression may still mean you won't like it, or the resutant bad impression does not preclude you from actually liking it.
Fuck. What a pointless piece of advice.

... and brain dead AI.

Fucking psycho is more like it. Archers and mages love to rush at me and shoot me at point blank. All the monsters have two moves: Charge and Smack.
