With all the games coming out, Starcraft II has to be the most anticipated one.

There's been such a huge drought for worthwhile pc exclusives it's become ridiculous. SCII has to be very very good to compensate. Whatever happened to pc games that took the industry to a whole new level? It's been fairly disappointing for the pc crowd this gen.

It might be but Halo Reach is second to that.

Or GT5

I dunno. Ten years is an awful long time to wait for a sequel especially one that:

Has had it's campaign split into three games.

Looks like it plays VERY similar to its predecessor.

I'm excited for it, and will purchase it... but I think those two things have hurt it.

What about God of war 3, halo and gran turismo?

People are going nuts for this game paying up to $300 on ebay for a beta key, kind of depressing.

This is just a PC-flaming thread in disguise, basicly implying that the reason why we're so looking forward to SCII is because we have so few exclusives.

Sigh.

EDIT: I just read the entire post now, it's not in disguise.

How often do you exactly play RTS? Because generally everyone knows the all the fun is had in multiplayer and skirmishes, and that comes in the wings of liberty were you can play as all 3 races. Besides, i wouldn't be surprised if they later on in the other 2 expansions added new units.

StarCraft 2 may very well be the most globally anticipated pc game ever.

Blizzard has never been as famous as it is now because of the mass popularity that WOW bring globally

So lots of people who are not fans of starcraft or have not played StarCraft are looking forward to this title, because it's Blizzard's first major release after WOW.

I'm way more excited for Civilization V than Starcraft 2 in terms of strategy games.ice144

Agreed. I couldn't care less about Starcraft.

It´s my most antecipated game of the year along with Deus Ex 3,Alpha protocol and Civilization V.

But SC2 is what I really want :p

I hope it sells well with Blizzards massive fame from WoW. But yea, im pretty excited. It seems that the RTS genre isnt as popular as it used to be (11 mil copies or whatever of the original SC sold), but its hugely hyped so it might be able to bring in the big bucks. Yea im super excited, have been off RTS's for a while, ill try and get decent at SC2 (hopefully wont have to face Koreans =( )

But yea, PC exclusives are in quite a draught. Just look at the top games for PCs in sales or reviews... whens the last big exclusive in either? SC2 should sell pretty damn well, and it seems so refined that it'll probably score well aswell (at least better than any recent PC exclusive). I just really hope ppl dont make too much of a big deal in the reviews that not a ton has changed rom SC1. SC1 is one of the best RTS's of all time (I personally slightly prefer WC3, but its close, and its by blizzard anyway xD). I dont see why you'd want super duper major changes. Its a much prettier, much more refined SC, I dont understand why you'd want more than that.
