it should get a 10
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I bet it gets a 9.5 or higher on average. I've never played SC, but the popularity of the game will insure that they developed a great game.
I assume Gamespot will give Starcraft 2 rating of a 9.0-9.5 range because its Blizzard product. They might get some negative points for making 2 others seperate from Starcraft 2 main product. I am looking forward to Starcraft 2 to have fun.
I always thought Bioware and Blizzard are so much a like as twins of their gaming product except Blizzard really doesn't make alot of games lately except for their 2 upcoming games of Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 as the only 2 product Blizzard has in line except for 3rd expansion for WOW mmo. I know Bioware are doing fantastic so far and I know Blizzard can if they can make a new Warcraft RPG game since its been a long time.

They also have their secret new IP MMO in production. Don't forget about that!I assume Gamespot will give Starcraft 2 rating of a 9.0-9.5 range because its Blizzard product.

I think the core gameplay could be enough to warrant a 10, however the new battle.net is what's going to kill it. Deadly_FatalisI think it might actually get points for the Facebook integration, theoretically a lot of people will like it. The lack of chat rooms etc. might hurt the score a bit though, but in the end, gameplay is more important. With that I just realized another thing, it won't score a 10 in graphics because it just doesn't look that good technically. No AA to give an obvious example. On the other hand it'll run on a Windows 95.
[QUOTE="NLahren"]i guess the score will be 7-8,5 not higher Vfanek7? Haha, wow. I'd say something else but I've got too many moderations now. When was the last time Blizzard released a game that got 7? no inovation and old gfx so i do not expect a high score

Look at WoW, same thing there. It won't get a 10 in graphics, ditto for innovation (wherever that fits in), but no way in hell will SC2 get a 7-8. 8.5 is the lowest, I believe.

WQhen was the last time blizzard released a non expansion?
6 years ago.
Alot happens in 6 years, dont know why people follow names blindly so much.

I guess they just pick the expansions from the expansion tree in their garden? Not like they make them, or anything. Blizzard are known to make quality products for a reason, I hate the direction they went for with WoW but I can't argue that it worked. For everyone who doesn't enjoy WotlK there's a bunch that do.[QUOTE="KHAndAnime"]It probably should, but it won't.

What was the obvious major flaw of MGS4?
The same flaw that Resident Evil 5 had. It switched up from the series established gameplay to an entirely different type. Resi went from Survival-Horror to Action, MGS4 went from being a Stealth series to an Action game. The change itself isn't a bad thing, but like Resi5 the developers seemed to have forgotten to update the gameplay to compensate for it. As a result, two below average clunky action games. One with minor stealth elements, the other with uh...uh...notzombies.[QUOTE="soldine"][QUOTE="KHAndAnime"]It probably should, but it won't.

You cant say that a change in gameplay, that the developers deliberately put into it is a flaw. Besides, its still very much a stealth game, but now you have the choice to play differently.

Ok wait.
1. List said unnecessary plot points. The story was ended perfectly in my opinion.
2. The cutscenes are all fantastic and are part of the game itself (interactions/flashbacks/using the mk.2 etc)

- Raiden being a cyborg for no reason. - The female bosses and their backstories - The constant "Oh noes! Snake is going to die!" and then he doesn't die. Happens at least 3 different times. Cliche as hell. - Bringing Vamp back (No reason to bring him back really) etc. The cutscenes are fantastic in a low quality anime sort of fashion.[QUOTE="kieranb2000"][QUOTE="soldine"]The same flaw that Resident Evil 5 had.

MGS 4 was GREAT and deserved the 10 the story was perfect and almost explained everything and why would you skip the quiescences, its like playing an RPG game and Skip all the dialogs ?????????
No, it won't. From Gamespot I'm guessing it'll get between 8-9, if they bother to review it at all.kieranb2000lmao, trolling? Ya gamespot isnt going to review arguably the biggest release of the year...

You don't skip the cutscenes obviously. But some of them are unnecessarily long. The story plays out like a bad fan fiction. It's just...bad. The whole Akiba/Meryl thing. Ugh, it's so cheesy, it makes me cringe. :PActually, the flaw I was talking about was the fan service.

Ugh, it's so cheesy, it makes me cringe. :P maybe you're right but I am big fan of MGS ( its one of the few Console games I played ) but the Whole Franchise is perfect IMO ( even Peace Walker is Perfect :D )It will all depend on the single player length, story line, and game depth. The closet game that would match what SC2 is doing is Tiberium Wars which received a 9.0/10 here. IF we use that parallel, i'm thinking SC2 could easily come in at a 10. 9.0 is gonna be its minimum. With the way the few games with 10 have been here, it has a high chance of it. We will see.
On the GS reviews, they have slacked off in last few years. I did confront a editor on this and they seem to have taken notice. They really have been reviewing many games on PC in the last few months. Its actually been exciting to see it happen and I hope GS continues this for now on.

This is GS we're talking about.
They gave 8 and something to D2, 8.2 to Deus Ex, 8.5 to System Shock 2, I don't want to go on because my eyes are already begging for mercy.
Going along by the standard GS gave 10s, SC2 should deserve a number in the order of billions. The problem is that reviewers here are mostly consolites and don't have a clue on how to review a PC game.
You can bet they will completely ignore and/or misunderstand the custom maps that are already raining down on us, the game's longevity, the single player's replayability and the flawless gameplay mechanics design.
So no, it won't get a 10.

kevin vanord will review it, and I already know he will love it. We are safe from gertsman now.You can bet they will completely ignore and/or misunderstand the custom maps that are already raining down on us, the game's longevity, the single player's replayability and the flawless gameplay mechanics design.
Mograine
Flawless gameplay mechanics? ya good luck with that.
In case you didnt get that NOTHING is flawless.
It is hilarious though that GS doesnt even ened to put a review up of the game and fanboys are already raging about teh score.
I think he will go 10, he will absolutely love it guaranteed.It will be reviewed by Kevin Vanord who will probably give it a 9

Son, you just went full retard.

I. . don't know. It depends on what the reviewer thinks. If it turns out the reviewer doesn't really care for RTS games? Maybe not. Or if he likes RTS of a different sort, probably not. If he sucked hard on Starcraft's teet to the point he turned into a zergling, probably yes. As for me? Nah, I don't think so. 9.0 or 9.5. I was terribly disappointed with elements of the battle.net 2.0 and the multiplayer itself. I felt like I was playing starcraft 1 but with a better paint job and a few new bells and whistles. Don't get me wrong; the animation for troops deploying from dropships was amazing but that alone does not make up for balancing issues and the same tedium. Certainly Idra and White Rha, for those who keep up with tournaments, are all very flashy and tactical with big strategies, but the average person is not and it comes down to rushing or a variety of cheap tactics. Until, of course, something is nerfed and something else is buffed and then a new cheap strategy is built. Standard games will be more of the same. It will lie squarely on the customization of multiplayer maps to truly carry it as it had in the first game. However, I'm hesitant to give credit to Blizzard as it is the gamers themselves doing all the work. However, Blizzard did provide the tools and these tools were simplistic and easy to use that enabled average people to make interesting to amazing maps. The question is whether or not they truly improved on it. Battle.net 2.0. . to me. . is a disaster. They took away everything that made it great and replaced it with facebook? Achievements? They were going to do that whole real ID thing, too, and weren't going to put chatrooms in either until players raised a stink. We are truly lucky that some of the bullets were mostly dodged. It's rare to see gamers truly and passionately rally against a company whose teets they're normally sucking on. Normally gamers may grumble but usually end up complacent and normally companies don't budge. That's not to say Blizzard budged more than an inch. They're still looking at real ID with interest and they only kind of took off some region locks. AND they're implementing chat rooms only sometime after launch. The single player, though, is where it truly flies. Or should. If they somehow botch this then it's the end of Starcraft but I doubt they will. From what I've seen, it appears solid. The missions sound varied and the inclusion of newer elements that are not in the multiplayer (likely due to balance) intrigue me. They really stepped up their game on CG and I look forward to (and hope for) many CG per campaign. I think if the game got a 10 the sales will increase !Please Log In to post.
