Nothing new, but a good read anyway.

"Now six demigods from across the mortal world are battling each other for the right to step into the Allfather's divine sandals and leave the mortal plane forever."

 

I hate gamespy so much.

 

All their writers are volunteers now.  They stopped paying people long ago.  And since then all their articles have been so so so horrible.

I see nothing wrong with the preview.  Were you expecting some new information?   I think you guys are too picky or just bias against gamespy.

The info is not even correct. Example: They keep talking about eight demigods, not six.

I agree...there is nothing wrong with this article except for the fact that it was not written for beta testers.

that appears correct but I shuld note that people here have been depating how many and what kind of Demigods would be present even here.  I think it is written as a preview to a beta build of a game that will more than wet the whistle of potential players which means more fun for all of us.

There is misinformation.

 

Their job is to report correct information, not wrong information.

 

My job isn't even that of a writer and I'm spotting wrong things in all their articles on all sorts of games.

I thought we were talking about this article not the entire list of articles in the site.  Is there anything in this article that causes damage to the general perception of this game?

6 demigods they say, when there will be at least 8, for one?

Yep, I agree on that one...but I still think it generates interest in the game as a whole.  It's really not a big deal with me.  As an aside, have you ever condidered writing an article for them?  It sounds like you would have a lot of good insite.

That article was based on my experience playing the beta edition of the game I was provided which had six demigods -- as did all of the ancillary material such as loading screens. As such it was correct based on my experience.
If there any other errors in the article, please e-mail me at contact@gamespy.com and I'll happily make a correction.

I honestly didn't expect that.

Also, if you want to get technical the beta has 3v3 gameplay which gives us 6 demigods, even though they are not unique.

So it was a different build than we have.

 

I somehow doubt that GPG/stardock ahve decided to drop down to 6 demigods.

 

And as for the loading screen, I believe that is just a place holder and later on it's going to show the actual Demigod's picked, hense the VS.
