I said something along this in another topic.
And I was just thinking, combined with the fact that, if they are expansion and not mostly just mission disks (cost difference?), we are getting screwed over . SC and BW each had around 30 missions, did they not? So getting a game with only 10-15 play through missions one on side at a time is pretty weak comparatively.
Hopefully the non-linear stuff is a bit merged so it's more like 35 missions, at least 25 in one play through.

I don't see blizzard innovating anything. I just see rehashed, profit driven games. The only thing Blizzard really excels at is their map editors which lead to REAL fun UMS. Other map editors tend to be really unfriendly and have a huge learning curve and no ability for UMS. And that is why we are here, on this site, am I right? So F the campaign BS, the editor will be awesome, we will have lots of fun.

Modding the 360 is easier than the original, just connect a cord to a PC. Or so I've read .

Damn straight, #1 thing I'm looking forward to in SC2 is the editor. #2 is progaming and #3 is the story (I really want old Blizzard to finish the story but they don't exist anymore so there's no chance of that).

Yep.

I could care less about the campaign...as long as I know the whole story. Battle.net is the main point of the game for me.

1. It's nothing like WoW
2. How can you say WoW sucks when you have not even played it.

ive just read that
only players with the maingame can play with players who also have only the maingame,
only players with the exp#1 can play with players who also have only the exp#1,
only players with the exp#2 can play with players who also have only the exp#2,

thats total shit.... the biggest shit i've ever seen... omg

my suggestion is, that sc2 should be send as only one game with 90 [all races] single player missions....

It'd be very interesting to know how the original makers intended it to end.

Oh the hypocrisy from the hardcore Christians. Disgusting.


If they are selling it and you are taking it for free, you are stealing it. Thief. Disgusting.



No one is forcing you to buy it. If you don't like it, don't buy it. I, on the other hand, will be enjoying StarCraft II.


I'm guessing they will add protective measures against this. And you're promoting stealing.


It is not your place to decide how much money they should or should not receive for their work. And how much money they already have is irrelevant.


You're wrong. It's not an injustice to not create another new game for a long period of time. Sure you might not like it, but they certainly did not wrong you in any way. They didn't have to create StarCraft in the first place. Next is EUDs. Those weren't part of the original intention of the game, and EUD actions were potentially dangerous. Again, they did not wrong you. They also never guaranteed that they would patch every exploit in StarCraft. You wrongly expect them to do everything for you. They never promised to keep Battle.net as one. I don't know why they split Battle.net up, but regardless of their reasoning, it was their decision to make. Nothing wrong there. Basically, you had no stock in any of the things you listed, and all of those were their decisions to make. They did nothing wrong, you're just throwing a temper tantrum.


You should be locked up with the rest of the thieves. You're no better than them. It doesn't matter if what you stole was physical or electronic. You're still a thief.


You thieves are running rampant.


It shows how much of a hypocrite you are.

Nerdy is on a rampage of "WTF THIEVES".

Yeah he's calling the people who pirate games thieves, but I don't see him calling Blizzard a thief.

Yes, because all of our parents are doctors and we enjoy the luxury of superfluous amouts of money.

How is Blizzard a thief?


So having less money makes it okay to steal?

DAMN STRAIGHT IT IS!

Seriously, man, I highly doubt that you've never once downloaded a game off of a torrent or something.

Yes. If someone stole bread to food to feed his family, with the right circumstances, I would see that as okay. I do realize this doesn't really relate .

No more discussion about stealing starcraft. Some of you are even promoting it. It is against SEN rules.
And you all lie anyways. I know you will buy the game.

Where have you been? They're taking the campaign and splitting into three pieces. They don't need to do this, and they can get the entire campaign done and have it released next year, but they are anyway because they want more money. And they were gambling on gullible people like you believing they need to. Just like they got gullible people like you to pay a monthly subscription to play a game that doesn't need one.

I'm also against this because they're changing the way they're doing their RTS's. If we let them get away with doing this in SC2 who know what they're going to do with their future titles. Warcraft 4: Humans, Warcraft 4: Orcs, Warcraft 4: Elves, etc. I don't like the idea of having to wait a year or more to get the rest of the story when it was delivered to me in a normal fashion in their previous titles (Warcraft, Warcraft 2 and Expansion, Starcraft and Expansion, Warcraft 3 and Expansion).

Blizzard is nothing more than another greedy corporation to me now. And I might start treating them as such unless they get their act strait.

Your doubt doesn't matter because it's wrong.
Your example is invalid, as people don't need StarCraft to survive. But I see you already realized that (I don't see why you said it at all, though).
Being greedy and being a thief are completely different. The whole point of a corporation is to make money. If they start charging so much that they lose more money off people not buying it than they make off charging more, then it's not a wise decision. Otherwise it is. The point of Blizzard is to make money, not to make you happy. You can cry all you want about it, but they can charge whatever they want for their creations (and it's not stealing). I am not the gullible, I just have no problem paying more for StarCraft. I've paid like $20 for 10 years worth of play for the original StarCraft; I'm assuming I'll play SC2 for just as long, if I continue gaming.
And nothing of value would be lost.

Until we actually see the campaigns, I'm going to give Blizzard the benefit of the doubt.
It sounds like they are doing something awesome with the tidbits of information. Kinda like a merge between your basic RTS storyline with conquer the world type attributes. With awesome movies.
I do agree Blizzard seems to be going for profit rather than passion though.

They've always been in for the profit. They are after all, a game company. Likewise, they wouldn't even make games if they weren't in for the profit.

Open Source?

They don't define those as a company, rather a 'non-profit organization'.

Sometimes companies make open source programs. And sometimes they make free software that's not open source.

There's more than one way to make money and releasing an free or open source program can boost sales by showing people what your company is capable of.
