Star Craft II- Is there anyone who will not be getting this game?

[Sartan0]

Heck. I plan to have fun making maps. Though I might be a bit odd in enjoying that part of the game. So for me it is three parts to the game instead of just two. (Single, Multi-player and map-making!)

 

[The Madman]

Well I hate to say it but of course they are going to say that, if they come out and say "well we have this game we are making, it's not quite done yet, but we are going to charge you $60 for the first part then you can buy the rest as we make it as well" do you think people would honestly buy the damn thing? This goes under PR not wanting a clusterfuck of bad press about their game.

Or perhaps they're being truthful and you're just letting cynicism get in the way? Blizzard are a solid developer who've not steered me wrong before, I don't see why they'd start now despite their new relationship with Activision, who I'll readily admit to disliking a great deal.

And I don't like it because I'm not getting a full game, and then I'm expected to shell out $60 for something that's not a collectors edition.

But you 'are' getting a full game, or so everything I've read has led me to believe. Previous Blizzard games have had expansions, and in each case the expansions simply added onto an already fantastic game. Why should it be any different this time? Will there be the same uproar when the inevitable first Diablo 3 expansion pack is announced?

If the original game is a solid and entertaining experience, I see no reason not to buy it. And if I know there are expansions in the works that will improve the experience further, then power to them. I bought Dawn of War knowing there would be many expansion packs, same with Dawn of War 2. Just because a game will be improved later, doesn't mean it can't be good now.

But the game isn't even out yet so who knows? I hope I'm right and you're wrong, but there's no way to know till it's on shelves.

In the meantime I'll agree that we disagree, which is fine with me. If everyone agreed on everything this'd be one helluva boring world, and although I'm optimistic this time, there's no telling what's coming in the future. Maybe you'll find yourself defending a game against me? Hah! Oughta be fun!

 

[Caligulove]

I have to.

Been playing it since it came out, and I've waited long enough, opted out of the beta- still want it to be a genuine surprise and new FEELING when I actually get to play it. Always loved that game. Can't wait to see what's new. Not sure if I would get the other installments coming out, with the other campaigns...
Would wait for a sale on those a couple years later if anything

Is there anyone who will not be getting Starcraft?

Me. Fuck Blizzard. Also, I don't like RTSs. They all seem the same (Edit: TO ME). More samey then other kinds of games (Edit: SEEM TO ME).

Edit: IMO

 

[Snotnarok]

I'm not getting it, just not interested terribly in RTS, especially something from Blizzard, the company that takes 50 years to make a game that could have been made in 2.

Yes I know they like to make their games perfect and take the extra time, but they take too much time.

 

[A big red rooster]

*Raises hand*
No money, and my computer simply can't handle the new games.

 

[darkfire613]

I am not. I don't like RTS games in general, and the lack of LAN play (the only reason I enjoyed WarCraft III was playing LAN at a geek/gaming summer camp of mine) cemented my decision.

 

[Ralvuimego]

Wow. I wasn't expecting this level of nos. I know that I will be, since it is likely that I will be saving for a new computer soon for school. Or at least taking advantage of scholarship money, since I'm poor.

Honestly, I was expecting this level of "No" and "I hate starcraft" when I stepped into this board... because it's pretty much how every "OMG I LOVE X SERIES" thread goes. It draws out all the naysayers and flamers, while the people who actually intend to buy the game really don't care to join the argument. I don't plan on making a decision until the game has actually come out...

I loved Starcraft original, and I still play it now (Though not online), but I haven't actually picked up a new RTS (Civ IV doesn't count in my book... It IS turn based after all) in a long time.

 

[LeeHarveyO]

I without a shadow of a doudt am buying that piece of awesome.

 

[Ensiferum]

I've been waiting almost 12 years for Starcraft 2. Therefore I will ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY buy it the day it comes out.

 

[Plurralbles]

I played the first game and broodwar. I like Blizzard. I want to know how the story goes. I have missed Raynor and Kerrigan. I actually read a starcraft book. To say I'm not getting this game is folly. I've put aside cash specifically for this game for the last six months. I can't wait. It releases two days after my birthday : )

I am confident that it will not require too much tech to play, which would be the only problem. So alright, I'm not getting it the day of release, but pretty close to it.

 

[Paksenarrion]

If I had the money, I'd purchase it. As it is...well...

 

[chozo_hybrid]

More samey then other kinds of games, so racing games, shooters, fighting games are less samey then RTS games as a whole? I would say they are ALL around the same amount of samey as each other.

 

[SteinFaust]

i'm not all that good at RTS games. i like to be able to do the fighting myself, rather than hope a team of AI soldiers has decent accuracy.
also, i need a better rig.
also, i'm pissed at PC games right now. my WH40KoW2 is being retarded.

 

[Grey_Focks]

I shall buy it, but solely for the single player since I suck at RTS (except DoW 1).

Oh, and I might play a few custom maps. Some of the ones in warcraft 3 were amazing.

 

[CloggedDonkey]

I never really got into the Blizzard games that much, so no, I will not be getting Starcraft two.

 

[Gudrests]

To anyone that says they suck at RTS, Starcraft 2 is fairly effective with pairing you with players at your skill level. So you won't get insta-raped =D

On topic, I'm obviously getting it, although I wish Blizzard would improve on B.net 2.0 since the current state of it is inferior to Starcraft's B.net or Warcraft 3's B.net.

LIE FRIGGIN LIE....SKILL LEVEL MY ASS!!!!....im in the "copper league"..how was the platnium leage team my level....am i in disguise?

 

[theSovietConnection]

I don't plan on getting it until I see the first expansion and then know it is or isn't just a money grab. Blizzard can say everything they want about how the packs are different, but in the end, look at everything Spore was supposed to be.
