[QUOTE="subrosian"] The only reason I'm not playing at this second is because I needed to update my Catalyst drivers. And yes, I'm playing the campaign in SC2 and it's a-freaking-mazing. Unbelievable. The standards of this generation have been redefined to the point where we may as well say the generation is over.

Don't say that, consolites will get upset :P Have you got to Zeratul yet? The first cutscene of his missions is jaw-dropping.

Looks like all the StarCraft haters have been totally vanquished. Relic's innovation can bite my jeans if lack of innovation means we're getting a game like this.

Now we just have to wait for KevinV to stop playing and remembering all of sudden that he has to write a review about it.

Dawn of War 2 is not innovative in a groundbreaking way. It does not introduced any revolutionary concept at all. It tries to put Company of Heroes mechanics and emphasizes more Warcraft 3 hero mechanics into Dawn of War but in effect that move hampers the core thing that made Dawn of War so awesome.

The single-player is trying to be innovative, I lauded that but it lacks of attention to details and not enough polish to make it great. The campaign is RTS without the 'S'. Even the multiplayer lacks of Strategic feels to it. Unlike Dawn of War which is epic. To put it simply, Dawn Of War 2 is innovation far the sake of innovation. Nothing more than that.

Starcraft 2 on the other hand is innovative without breaking the core game. It introduces enough things to differentiate it from the first game.

The innovation might not be grand but think of it like this: A game with small innovations here and there with subtle attention to details and tremendous amount of polish will be a far better game than a game with grand innovation solely for being innovative.

lacks strategic feel??? A 1 base lair into fast mutas which forces the a terran player to commit more to marines which allows you to get zergling/baneling is strategy.

a 2 gate zealot rush to force a zerg player to commit to more zerglings than drones is a strategy.

or right now in the razer king of the beta tournament, go raven viking banshee, to snipe off the observers while the cloaked banshees take care of the ground units is a strategy.

this is just off the top of my head and the game just came out and will have more "strategies" than any of the games you just listed

i know you are talking about innovations but when someone just ignorantly saying starcraft has no strategy is just insulting

Probably gonna be playin this for the next 5+ years

but Im expecting a 9

because, single player is only terran, no chatroom, lan, cross realm play at launch will bring the score down

It was a joke....

Sorry, I didn't know that you were incredibly dull, hormonal (lighten up, please) and guilable.

Seriously though, I suspect that a lot of low-lives are going to swarm this game, playing 24/7 and playing to win (too seriously). Seriously, with the past Starcraft, heaps of Asians were considered "superstars with real jobs", especially in South Korea.

With CoH, there are heaps of pros, but they aren't hardcore/serious/insane. Just normal people who play for fun and wins.

When Warcraft 3 was alive (a decade ago), at least there weren't South Korean 'superstars who earn 200K' and 'training colleges for starcraft'. It was fun and only a very small percentage of people took the game serious enough to think it's a new life.

Reading up on games doesnt help. I read up on DoW2 and hated it. I read up on MoW and hated it. Too many stupid fanboys who spread lies and propaganda. Douche...

blizzard has no plans for cross realm play, so unless u live in asia, u wont play any south koreans. and for being the game being too hard, u will have 5

placement matches to set u into a league bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, and pro. So u will be evenly matched against your opponent, this is

coming from a platinum player the game is awesome and the amount of strategies that have developed only in the beta makes me think this game will be

limitless in terms of strategy just like its predecessor which is still coming up with new strategies a decade after its release.

it also does take alot of skill, so what you put into the game is what you will get out of it

ok. so a month earlier my blu ray laser died and i sent it into sony, and they gave me a 90 day warranty.

Will this warranty cover the red screen of death???

and I also had a question about the hard drive. when i sent it in to fix the blu ray laser, they didnt delete my hard drive

Will they delete my hard drive???

and if they do.

Is there anyway I can save the game saves that I currently have?

or is there anyway I can download the game saves, particularily for ffxiii??

cuz i put 30 hours into that, and I dont feel like investing another 30 hours into it......

thx

so i tried turning on my xbox and my tv cant find the source for the xbox for some reason, at first i thought it was the tv but it reads my ps3 fine (which also just broke....)

then i put my xbox to my monitor with the vga cable. and that cant read it either. so i was just like no biggie, probably a broken vga cable

now i try my component cable and still no video output.......

do u guys think the gpu fried??????

this would really suck right before reach beta.....

neither is good...I have both games, well i already finished heavy rain and in FF13 chapter 2

heavy rain has too many visual glitches and terrible walking. Those things really kills its presentation and it's a interactive drama game, so presentation is very important. Anyway, it's not worth to pay full price for heavy rain.

If you like action games like uncharted 2, assassin's creed 2, modern warfare 2, and BFBC2, then dont get FF13... cuz FF13's gameplay is quite old...storytelling is very chaotic, and its battle systemonly make itworse. You wouldnt feel satisfied when you kill an emeny in FF13...cuz you just press a button (x) and watching battle system doing the whole thinglike shooting, jumping and slashing.

Basically, FF13 and Heavy Rain are similar...you just control characters' movement from a place (spot) to next place (spot), and neither of them give you direct control of characters.

oajlu

so i was playin ffxiii and all the sudden it freezes

so i turn off my ps3 and turn it back on and now it doesnt read discs....

what are my options now?
