Do you think SC 2 will get a 10

Nah! Probably a 9.5. Diablo 3 will score a 10!

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.Mograine

Well, to be fair, reviews were a lot more critical back then and games rarely received perfect scores (although, an 8.2 for D2 was extremely generous IMO). Today reviews are fueled by advertising dollars, developer access and hype.

Then again, it's all opinion anyway so who really cares what some so-called "professional" reviewer thinks?

maybe on other sites....but this is gamespot...of course it wont get a 10....its on pc....

Not gonna cast judgment like that ipjazzman220. I've been discussing many threads about the editors here but they are doing a good job of late for the PC. Let KevinV do his thing. He of all the editors seems to have a great grasp on PC gaming. We will all see. We have several days till a review. My main concern is that a review doesn't get rushed. There is gonna be a fair amount to this game and since no site is getting advance copies we will see who really divulges into reviews or cares about releasing a worth while review of the game. I would hope it take a week + for them to review this game. We will see

Its going to get a 9.5 from gamespot i bet.

.

I really don't see an obvious flaw that would make the game score lower than a 10. It's a perfect RTS.

[QUOTE="Vfanek"][QUOTE="NLahren"]i guess the score will be 7-8,5 not higher warmaster670

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.

Brand loyalty comes when a company consistantly produces high quality materials. Blizzard has the following it has because it does not release garbage. Whether you like their games or not, they are always finished when released and what the company promised. Which I can't say for many other game developers out there.

the game does not deserve a 10. There is nothing really ground breaking or incredible about it to be given a 10. Put aside fanboyism for a moment and think about other games before starcraft 2 that deserved perfect scores from publications.

Hopefully it will get whatever score it actually deserves. I hope its a great game.

it should get a 10

yemen_headshot

IMO 90% chance for a 9.5
9% chance for a 9.0
1% chance for a 10.0

Well, Kevin is C&C fan, he played SC 1 12 years ago. I belive he will be fair with review but probably won't give it perfect 10 cause he is not Sc franboy.I would go with 9.5 which is still superb. I feel sorry (well not really) for some speciments who only play games that got perfect 10. They will miss out great game :)

still can't belive SMG2 got 10.

No. The PC has much higher standards than the consoles.Crimsader

Really? Like what?

I don't think it deserves 10. Hype does not = high scores.Same_Jeans_On

The editor alone should get a 10, but I predict the game will get a 9-9.5 here and 9.8+ everywhere else.Levrar

It comes down to the SP and whether or not the reviewers will factor in the editor. on the MP front, no voice chat (should be standard) is quite the flaw that can easily be criticized.illmatic87

I have yet to use any voice chat thats better than vent. I prefer my games to come without it, because I don't want to be forced to use the games voicechat, which happens a lot with the games that come with one.

ODST with a 9, MGS4 and GTA4 both with a 10.

That's the kind of thing that makes you go "No...just no...".

In this case, I reckon we get KevinV as reviewer, and he wasn't too huge on Starcraft. Thus, hype does not really matter now.

i'd be surprised if it would even get a 9. judging from the videos and gameplay demonstrations, it looks more like a remake of the original; it doesn't seem to be offering anything new when it comes to gameplay. Battle.net being the major improvement...

LOL. Steak isn't made better by dumping every condiment in the fridge on it. RTS aren't made better by adding elements from other genres.

i'm not talking about taking elements from other genres. i'm talking about innovation.

games like Supreme Commander, Company Of Heroes and World In Conflict are major improvements from the days of C&C, Warcraft, Dune Starcraft etc.

e: although i did like the RPG style leveling and equipment system in Dawn Of War II. it wasn't your typical RTS experience, but it was something fresh.

What else is there to add, that is not a rip off of an aspect from a different genre? Maybe we can do all the missions from a vehicle.

that's propably the same question developers asked them selves when making those games i mentioned... and they succeeded. i don't think there's anything wrong in improving some old ideas.
