Title: Should Shiftey get Starcraft II?
Post by: Shiftey on July 22, 2010, 12:52:10 pm
So, I am a bit split if I should get the game or not.

It does look really really awesome and fun, but it also looks too fast for someone as slow as me.

On the other hand, I am sure Blizzard delivered again and the campaign will be awesome!

Last problem is the price and the fact there will be few more expansions, and I live in soviet block where average salaries are below minimal wage of western europe, so go figure.

GO VOTE! Help me decide!

What kage said. It's a great game and whoever voted otherwise is either a retard or some shitty ass troll. Also we can have our own IE custom games, like HoN and stuff.

i pre-ordered this shit not cause i feel like playing the normal multiplayer or the singleplayer but because of the awesome custom maps WC3 had and i hope they will be made for SC2 aswell

Grishnag has a very good point right there. I completely forgot about that.

And what's this poll, that's totally unexpected!

This is no conquest, what kind of retards are voting for _not_ buying starcraft2?

But yeah, the single player campaign will hopefully be very good.

The multiplayer has already proven itself to be pretty awesome unless you're bad.

And finally, probably the biggest reason for buying this game is the huge amount of maps that will be coming out of it. If you've ever played castle wars, dota, tower defense and all that shit from wc3, you can expect a fuckton more out of the sc2 map editor.

If by play you mean run at 2 fps then yes.

I thought we had more excited people about Starcraft 2. I should have known better.
Title: Re: Should Shiftey get Starcraft II?
Post by: Rash on July 24, 2010, 02:10:20 am
<-- EXCITED AS FUCK

counting down the days till I can get sucked in the singleplayer for about 24 hours (its seriously that long) and then play it every day for atleast an hour

1. It will be a game that is played for many years to come.
2. The singleplayer campain is so awesome its a separate game.
3. The multiplayer isnt that cool if you're bad, but there's always multiplayer custom games and 4v4 etc.
4. The expansions will be just as big as this singleplayer campain for a lower price.

wait why am I even talking about this? its awesome and 100% guaranteed fun and worth your money. DONT HESITATE! BUY THAT SHIT

Actually, the 'expansions' (e.g. the campaigns for the other races) will be sold as seperate full price games, unless they've done an about turn on that (which would be very surprising, given they know people will buy it anyway).

I was told they were gonna be sold for 35 euro's instead of the full 60 in holland :o

It's entirely possible individual retailers will sell them slightly lower at their own discretion, which would be nice!

you're making the bad assumption that kage works on actual logic rather than what the sugar-pixies tell him on a given day

Only thing i hate and which was a "not sure i will buy sc2" factor is that you don't get all the campains at once and have to wait (and pay) for the other 2.

On the other hand, we all know buying a blizz game isn't wasting your money, for that we have EA games.

The results are definitive.

Shiftey has ordered Starcraft 2!

Ragging on the company that created Pitfal! No way!

Ragging on the company that destroyed c&c, yes way! There's no timescale for heresy like that :P
Title: Re: Should Shiftey get Starcraft II?
Post by: kawe on July 26, 2010, 12:46:56 pm
The times and the companies have changed a bit since pitfall I think :D

I thought C&C was still alive and well, didn't Red Alert 3 do well and get good reviews? Dungeon Keeper on the other hand... :'( R.I.P. Bullfrog

God dammit. Dungeon keeper one was SOOO cool. I wish that was still continued.
