For much of July and August so far, I’ve been playing mostly Demigod and Arma 2. With so many people in the game-central.org community now owning Demigod, the games I’ve been playing is no longer limited to just computer stompage. We get real live humans and competition going against each other where tactics and skills of the players become the deciding factor.
It’s just so much fun being able to coordinate with other players and shouting out locations of enemy Demigods and who to gank or who needs help over ventrillo. With the public, I’ve tried doing the same with chat but it the games usually just turn into a do your own thing and then get overwhelmed by the other side which is made up of a premade group who are using voice chat. Along with skill and communication, synergy between allied demigods is also vital to the success of the team. If you have all demigods just focused on getting kills for themselves and not buying upgrades for the team, eventually the other side might be able to do a comeback and defeat you.
With Arma 2, despite all the bugs, the fun comes from the cooperative nature of the game and playing around trying to do objectives. I’ve even made some videos of the gameplay from the past few days. The videos can be found on my youtube page here.
