$60 justified for Starcraft 2? (poll)

[QUOTE="DanielDust"][QUOTE="Sins-of-Mosin"]$60 for 1/3 of a game, pass. Only way they can redeem themselves is if the next two are $20.bonafidetk

Dawn of War series - 2 games, 4 expansions.

Total War series - 6 games.

C&C series - 19 titles between games and expansions.

StarCraft series - 2 games, 3 expansions.

ZOMG WHAT A RIPOFF. BLIZZARD IS TEH EVIL GREEDY.

60$ has always been Blizzard games launch price. And it has always been well worth it.

I say, let's not care about people whining about it - in the end, they will regret following this stupid hatewagon once they realize how much they have lost for their ignorance ;)

Explanations have already been given - you people whining are just hypocrites.

Agree with the "always been well worth it" part, but SC II will cost 60 € in Europe and this is 10 € higher than any other Blizzard game before. An Isn't a hatewagon, I'll pay the 60 € (maybe the 90 € If I catch the SE), but for sure I'll not pay another 60 € for the two expansions.

Starcraft 1 sold about 10 millions, I have some doubts about the SC II potential.

Yeah, Blizzard's spokesman got too excited and completely screwed up his wording. When he realized, the internet was all in flames against Blizzard.

I'm rather interested in seeing how will they try to fix it. It's just two months away.

Now, the price really is high, but than again, this is something, that I'm willing to pay for such a game.

Yes SC was an excellent game but SC2 has barely changed anything, there have been many good RTS games that have come out after SC that has improved the genre in many ways and even have better gfx, you can find these games for cheap too but apparently people only play SC without trying anything else. Really if you look at what SC2 offers its an expansion pack but is charging an absurd amount. The editor is the only thing that seems worth it.

But then they said they will release 2 campaigns -.- (aka. expansions with units) which means that I cannot play online after they release thier 1st expansion online

if there is a source for this i would really like to get a link. i've heard this over and over again, that new units will affect multiplayer. from the press releases, blueposts and blizzcast all i can tell is that they will NOT affect multiplayer, and are singleplayer-only units. maybe im missing something here?

I guess you missed on reading the faq on starcraft2.com

The expansion sets will add new content to each race for use in multiplayer matches. This could include additions such as new units, abilities, and structures, along with new maps and Battle.net updates.

I wodner how will gamespot review the game? 3 reviews?dakan45

@Amoorz who's forcing you to get the all the games? the B.net additions will obviously be patched into any of the games and the community will never die for any of the games, look at War 3, sure for the next game/expansion the community will be maybe 10 times bigger but you will have at least a few thousands to play your game.

I am enjoying the beta and want to buy the game, but I am not too happy about the fact that they had to cut all 3 campaigns into 3 games. I love all things Blizzard but this isnt right. People will pay, I will probably be one of them, depending on how much the other 2 games cost. If they have expansion pack prices for the full single player experience (because really, thats the only thing being added as patches for multiplayer are the regular thing), then I would not have a problem with it.

Blizzard delivers the highest quality game. I am a big fan of RTS games and this probably will be the best we'll see for some time. Until we see many details about the upcoming starcraft 2 games we cant rlle make any fair judgements. We dont even have any idea how much they'll cost. I'd rather spend 60 for a high-end game with a long single player campaign with fantastic multiplayer capabilities than a cheaper game lacking lose qualities.

Not if all 3 games together end up being $180+ tax/shipping at launch.

Though I seldom by games at launch, but Blizzard's games take literally years to come down in price.

In my opinion $60 is a good price for a top quality single-player campaign, a long lasting competitive multiplayer and some powerful modding tools. The other two parts will have the same content for single-player (about 30 missions with quality story, gameplay and cutscenes as usual) but will be priced as expansion packs. I don't see a problem on it. ;)

Some people are acting like if Blizzard would charge $60 + $60 for two small map packs. :(

I have no interest in single-player aspects of any game, so I really don't care how many campaigns get released. Single-player is a thing of the past to me, beating the AI doesn't make you good at a game, beating other humans does.

I definitly want SC2, but I will be waiting until the price drops.
