There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
So many games arriving at my door today. FarCry 2, Stalker Clear Sky and DemiGod.... horrible week for this situation.

Maybe, but I do believe Impulse's overlay uses the exact same key combo as Steam, haha.

FLAWLESS VICTOLY!

Thanks. This does seem like a game that would be a little less intimidating to a noob online though.

"I am not impressed with this game. It seems very light on content, and the graphics aren't quite amazing as I thought they'd be."
Uhhhh, it's very much a multiplayer focused game. It's like saying Battlefield 2 is light on content. Completely missing the point.
"Is there a demo?"
Not yet, shortly (like a month).

"I don't think it is. There aren't very many maps and I haven't been really impressed with the upgrades. It's just not doing it for me."
Most RTS games don't really have a lot of MP maps to begin with. Off the top of my head, Battleforge had 12 and Dawn of War 2 shipped with like...7?
Of course, if you're not feeling the game you're just not feeling it, but saying "light on content" is a bit silly.

Being the cheapass that I am, I pre-ordered this from Amazon for $36.99. Free shipping and no sales tax ftw.

"Do I just update the same Demigod file I've been updating for the beta to get the retail copy?"
You should uninstall first then redownload/install through impulse.

I did that, and it works just fine. I will reinstall once I get my boxed copy.DaFish said:

My Impulse handle is Teknopathetic.
Tried to play some multiplayer this morning, servers seemed pretty jacked up. Froze for 30 seconds or so every time I tried choosing an option after logging in. Hopefully they have it fixed for tomorrow.
Throw me a friend invite if you guys need another for organized matches.

Yes, Stardock only had test servers up but since Gamestop broke street date and with pirated copies making patch checks it was way too much of a load for them or some such. They put up the rest of the servers today so everything should be better.

Demigod is released today! Post your impulse handles so we can get some games going some time.
First time Impulse user, is anyone else having their game downloading going down to a crawl? It keeps telling me it's downloading at a relatively fast speed but it's going as fast as a 56k modem. Tried downloading other things, works fine.
Anyways, whenever it gets done:

BobsRevenge
I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
I bought it but am not sure I'm going to keep it. I haven't opened it yet. I'm a huge fan of Supreme Commander and liked DotA back in the day (never bought Frozen Throne so I've been out of that loop for a while now).
So, hopefully when more reviews come out they are positive enough to convince me to open it.
In the mean time I have a 9-page paper to finish, and research paper to make some graphs and tables for. Also have a presentation tomorrow that I have to practice for at the same time the research paper is due.
edit:
My Impulse is BobsRevenge.
edit 2: Fuck it, I opened it. About to play for a bit.
edit 3: Holy shit, this thing is downloading the update at 700kb/s. I didn't know my connection even got that fast.

Around the time of Sins of a Solar Empire, Stardock got some real *real* good file servers, it pretty much maxes my bandwidth for every download.
Also, it appears that the friends list in-game is different from your actual Impulse friends list, so add the names in-game (press shift+tab to open up the friends list and stuff). Or something like that.

No tutorial, but it's not really a difficult game to pick up. That said, there are some videos on the official site where the lead designer pretty much does a "video tutorial." It's the second video on the right.

It is not DOTA 2.0. If DOTA is the game you love, this game is not going to replace it for you. It is the same basic formula, but it's not the same end result. If you're able to go into the game not expecting DOTA but something in the same genre (like going from RPG to RPG or Action game to Action game) you might enjoy it.

Just played through a single player tournament to get my bearings and wow what a fun game. Played as the Torchbearer and was slaughtering dudes in ice form, rain of ice is beastly.
Seems to be some kind of nasty memory leak though, about 5 matches in my framerate took an absolutely nosedive from buttery smooth to like 10 fps for no discernable reason.

"trying tu buy it the store is so slow
order processing for 3m"
The stardock web/matchmaking servers are apparently getting hammered so they're up and down at the moment. Be careful not to accidentally get double/triple/quadruple charged from retrying.

"well i closed the page because i had paypal confirmation order email
but
i need serial number...and i dont have
crap
im screwed"
Did you create an Impulse account? The serial will already be tied to that, I believe. Otherwise, give it a bit for the servers to catch up.

Really fun game, but for a multiplayer core game, you would think they would have their networking shit in line - long waits / broken connections / freeze ups / skirmishes starting with only 2 people and 8 bots galore
No way to play anything besides custom with people you know(?) kinda sucks, would be nice to be able to skirmish with a party or something - I haven't been able to successfully join a custom game yet, pantheon + skirm take 5-10+ mins to get a game going during which you have to sit there with a button in the middle of your screen
Impulse is okayish, it's no steam, i do like the irc chat built right in though
hopefully the game overcomes the technical issues, had a crazy 3 hour game last night, love some of the demigods, heard they have 2 more ready for us in the near future

The technical kinks definitely need working out. Though, the sluggishness in menus is due to server load which should be resolved in a few days of them adding new servers. The weird thing with this game is the way they're handling peer-to-peer connections is basically having *everyone* connect to *everyone* instead of the host basically being the server and everyone connecting to them. That makes a large amount of simultaneous connections which apparently older/crappy routers don't like? Dunno, I don't think there was anything really wrong with the usual system and the idea behind this one is that you wouldn't have to muck around with port forwarding and the like, but that seems to have backfired so far.

"their forum is down.
i dont know what to do. No serial number. Damn"
Are you sure there wasn't a serial in the email you got? If not 1) Try this http://www.stardock.com/support/ 2) try emailing sales@stardock.com

Yeah, I'd email sales@stardock.com then and see what's up.

Anyone get the collector's edition? It's pretty cheap on Amazon, 47 bucks, so wondering if the extra contents are worth it.
LethaL ImpuLse said:
I just picked it up. It's...ok. Really chintzy pewter figure and I haven't really listened to the soundtrack yet. There is also a poster. I think overall I might have preferred the regular edition for the dvd case. Collectors just gives you a folding cardboard disc sleeve with some nice art.
