I speak for myself when I say no, since I wouldn't pay $60 for the game anyway. But I'd imagine there are people, in fact I'm sure a LOT of people, who would. It's about the gameplay, the micromanagement hell and the adrenaline of winning against people who know every map and unit down to the press of a button. That's why people buy it, not to look at the cartoony graphics or shadows.

No.. No I wouldn't be interested in that. Perhaps you should update your computer to at least something mediocre.

Because you can't play Starcraft 2 on the 360, maybe?

Is anyone willingly spending $60+tax to run Starcraft 2 on LOW everything? Just Curious.

7jack

I'm spending 60$ without "tax" and I'm already running it with everything maxed out set on "high". So we clearly have a problem here.

this made me chuckle just a bit..

starcraft2 on a console oh that was a good one :P

consoles are annoying tbh.. they hold pc gaming down at the knees. seriously if their was a year where console developers just packed up shop and left them behind pc gaming would just take off and their would be no catching it. like seriously lets compare notes shall we your consoles use tech from back in 2006 while we enjoy the comfort of epically sized resolutions and massive potential and compliance with too many standards to screens and periphreals to count or name

to modify a quote from a small time rapper: "with my desktop, hey! i compute with ease think your console got a chance bra please!"

well consoles are more popular than pc's don't require u to be a tech wizz, cheaper and more accessible & before someone goes NO u can get a fine pc for cheap, well genious's most ppl aren't mole ppl and have a social life, consoles are plenty powerful.

7jack

cheaper really?

jesus then what ever shall i do with this?

http://www.gamespot.com/users/aura_enchanted/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-25772068&tag=all-about%3Bblog2

my goodness that appears to cost the same as a console after tax (before OS but i digress). and as for tech wizz comment. dude really if you bothered to look into it at all it takes about the same motor skills as assembling a lego set and putting a screw in a wall and requires the technelogical know how of a 15 year old lol.

here let me drop some wisdom on you(though to be fair hes using a REALLY bad case):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQQ30QoF_-8

and im no mole person i have a job, school, hobbies and a life. in fact its my hobby to dig people like you out of the sand youve buried yourself in

Let me understand...you're criticizing SC2 because you are only able to play it on low because your computer is crap and can't run it decently (despite it being one of the most optimized games on the market), and then when prompted to upgrade you say "why would I upgrade when I can get a console instead"?

Wow. Just wow.

So, I can say all X360 and PS3 games are trash because I don't have a 360 or PS3 to play them although the discs fit my DVD reader?

I probably shouldn't feed the troll but... - Consoles are not more popular than PC's, there's are FAR more people playing games on their PC's. - The idea that you have to be a 'mole person' or social outcast in order to be smart enough not to buy overpriced junk is kinda baffling. Do you also have to be nerdy and pimpled in order to know that you shouldn't cross the street when the light is red? - It's true you don't have to be a 'tech wizz' to use a console. You don't really have to on a PC either, but lets leave that for now, surviving as an adult in the real world is increasingly requiring you to be somewhat capable when it comes to computers. Getting a PC might actually teach you a few things that will be useful later in life. - Consoles are obviously not well suited to the task on hand since SC2 is not available for the consoles.

My backup computer of a p4 2.8 ghz hyper thread, 9600 gso, 2 gigs of ram, XP ran sc2 beta VERY nice at medium. Yours is a little lower then but if you can find a good PC recycling location, you could most likely get more ram and possible a new old vid card for extremely cheap. Thats what I did.

Alot of cities have a recycling council and rarely anyone knows about them. Here is my cities, CACRC Capital Area Corporation. People like this are golden for the PC community for upgrading old systems for literally pennies. I got 2 512mb sticks of ram for 5 dollars each from them for my old system. Got the 9600 gso for 30 dollars from them as well. Might be able to find a place like that around you and upgrade a small bit.

What does having a social life have to do with the cost of a games system?

Apparently you can't know computer science terms and "have a life" at the same time.

wow life of a pc gamer very sad, enjoy your secular monitors on ur desks and complaining about tech crap, i just want to play this damn game no one is helping me, maybe this is why i went to console thnx jerks as i go hang myself.

7jack
Awww poor guy. People trying to help you but no one will tell you what you want to hear. And now they pick on you just because you went to the PC forum, trashed talked PC's after asking PC users for help.. without knowing what you're talking about.. and somehow the PC users are the meanies? You asked a question, people answered, now you're sad because you don't like the answer? and because you're sad you started insulting the PC on a PC Games forum .. and when people called you on your posts, somehow we're the jerks?

I'm assuming that you attempted a snide remark here, unfortunately insults only really work if you make enough sense that the target of your insult can make head and tails of what you're saying.

He's now been trolling every Pc and games thread now. Just report him and move on now. We attempted to help him and he began to flame his own thread. Sigh.

Yeah, Because graphics don't make the game bad. I'm surprised that would be the deciding factor to anyone

It still looks alright on low. If you add some shadows the game looks average. You shouldn't be buying starcraft for the graphics anyways.

With the PC I have I don't think I will run into any problems running Starcraft 2 :-

4 x 3.6ghz Q6600 (overclocked)

4096mbs RAM and 896mbs Video RAM

GTX260 (216 CUDA cores)

As for the price I never pay full price for games, I will simply wait for the price to go down as it usually does.

With 4GB of RAM and a GTX 260 a computer doesn't need that kind of CPU, since the rest of the hardware is as much a factor. Looking at your posts I have to ask, do you actually want help, or did you mean to post in System Wars?

More people than you assume, I guarantee it.

and that 512mb RAM is shared between the system memory, and video memory.

I see many people on here (years ago) with just a regular phenom at 2.8 ghz that will outperform the 360's cpu.

The 360 is a fun machine, so is Ps3, but don't be fooled by marketing/advertising that is the art of manipulating the mind 7jack.

Yep, I saw, it's a sad day for the "usual" PC forum, but it's a celebration for the "actual" PC forum that lacks console threads, PC hate threads and platform comparisons.
