Will you be getting Starcraft2?

[QUOTE="-wildflower-"]

But this is the interwebz where people often confuse their own opinions with fact ;).

Mograine

I don't "confuse my own opinion", anyone that has played Starcraft enough can tell you what I said strictly related to it.

On the other hand, I'd love to hear from you what other game managed to last more than a year or two. I mentioned DoW as the only one that came up in my mind, now's your turn.

Fallout 1 and 2, Wizardry 8, Arcanum, Jagged Alliance 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 3, and the CIV games have all had quite a bit of staying power on my computer. There are others (quite a few actually - I mostly only play older games) but those are the first few that sprung to mind but I would never be so presumptuous to think that those games would hold equal value to someone who doesn't like turn-based games or RPGs as much as I do. It's subjective.

As I said in my first post, I don't really like RTS games so Starcraft 2 has absolutely no value to me whatsoever. So, yeah, it's not so black and white.

Damn, how could I forget the first Fallouts -_-

I see your point...I'll have to remember to talk of potential value next time.

Anyway.................................. Starcraft 2 is coming and I am very excited! I can't wait to try it! Starcraft 2 is going to be awesome (hope) and anyone like the RTS style and don't mind about the Sci-fi ambiance will certainly find something cool about this game!

I'll see you online Mograine! I play Protoss XD

I'm not so excited because I don't know what to expect from the game to be, I know original game is still replayed by many gamers like Diablo 2 (such as me), and it is coming from Blizzard who made Warcraft 3 and Frozen Throne, so I should expect for a great RTS - long time since I've played one after Red Alert and C&C dumbed down series

I play custom maps 8)

I won't be getting it. I'm not a huge fan of RTS, and a game that focuses on "APM" and memorizing maps and the most optimal rotations just seems boring to me. Don't get me wrong, I like action games, and FPS games, but not micro-managing RTS games that rely on clicking a billion times per minute in order to be competitive.

This is the TBS I'm looking forward to: http://www.elementalgame.com/gameplay

probably not, never been a big RTS guy.... last one i played was C&C tiberian sun (which i liked pretty well) but i dont think i could get back into another rts

[QUOTE="Animatronic64"]Quality isn't the only deciding factor in what you like. I personally hate a lot of "quality" games. Mograine

What's not to like of StarCraft? It perfectly fits every plays.tyle and leaves everything "strategy" related to the user instead of implementing gimmicks that only bloat the game and kill its longevity (just look at pretty much every other game that has anything to do with RTS...how many lasted for more than a year? On the moment I can only remember of DoW).

Even if you can't get into the "normal" multiplayer like me (I was 6 when I started playing and yes, by playing I mean online), the selection for custom maps is limitless...it'd take me an hour just to list every genre and subgenre, and I used to play ALL of them religiously.

Every time somebody trashtalks StarCraft, I die a little inside :|

Company of Heroes?

There is still a bunch of people playing that game came out in like 2006 and it has as much micro if not more than SC.

pre-ordered it on monday, cant wait!!!

Maybe, I'm not a huge RTS fan. But on the other hand, it's from Blizzard :P. I guess I'm gonna wait for the first reactions and reviews.

i don't like futuristic rts games with robots..... and i hate this game ... to me it looks really boring

Wrong... because they are region based and because latency play a HUGE part in the prof gaming tournamnets. You will most likely not see people play in other regions...

[QUOTE="GummiRaccoon"]

[QUOTE="KHAndAnime"] What you're talking about is only relevant in tournaments and competitions. 99.9% of people playing Starcraft don't care about their APM. They just want to have fun and be competitive.KalDurenik

If you want to be the best, you gotta play with the best, which is the asians.

I might have to pick it up...although I'm a fan of FPS myself.

We got several copies in the office and can't even install them.

I'll definately get it . . . . . . in a couple years when all three campaigns are released in a battle chest. I play my games for story and I don't want to play one third of a story arc and have to wait goodness knows how long before the other two are released. I'm still waiting for HL 2: Episode 3.

Not getting it. I was excited for it when it was announced, but in the last couple of years I lost interests in RTS games even through I giving Company of Heroes a chance.

I'll get it, eventually.....

I'm getting the game, but not to a certain degree. I've sent my brother on his way to stand in line for my glory and pick up the game for me. *evil laughter*. Dance my puppet, dance!

I really dont like RTS plus I have never played the first one so no I will not be buying it.

I'll probably wait to buy a used copy. I don't really like RTS so I'm playing just for the story wich was amazing in the first one.masterdrat

Is buying a used copy even possible with the way Battle.Net works?

No LAN is a really big pity for me, me and my brother were going to get it and play together through LAN but I don't know how that will work anymore. If the expansions add a lot of conent though than I have no issue with them, if they truly are each larger than SC 1 than that is money well spent.

Doubtful. A top-down view is somewhat outdated and unrealistic. I prefer first or third-person views in a game, that's more realistic.

However, I wouldn't mind it if I had the option of zooming in and out, like in DA:O.

World in Conflict had camera control like that.

Which worked quite well actually. Would be interesting to see something similar in SC2 - however, I guess we all know that that ain't gonna happen.

The poll was badly formulated.

I won't get it because it is not my kind of game (and on top of that I didn't like the first one); but the series doesn't suck.

I'll be waiting for the reasonably priced Battle Chest.
