Hi all,

I am an avid Stracraft fan and like many others have been wiating for ages to the follow up to the game.

But to be honest with you i am fairly disapointed with what i have seen so far. :( , The game looks like a graphically enhanced version of the game from yesteryear. I was able to see some gameplay of the beta and even though it is super nice to loo at, there is not much to it. It does not look innovative.

The graphics are slick, the interface is slick, there are a few newunits here and there but the gameplay seems to be redundant of what it used to be. If you are a master at build orders and can memorize the best tech tree path to get to the best unit in the game you will have a winner on your hands. Also from what i have seen, again it seems to be a mad rush of building your tech tree, producing the most unit while watching how much darn crystal you use and vespene gas and then take the most tactical route to destroy the ennemy with the most unit you have at your disposal...can you say...command and conquer 4 ?!!!

10 years or more ago that was original but now it seems passe and extremely deja vu.

I am not discounting the game yet and i want the game to suceed but if i am to be served with starcraft with better graphics and better looking movies and not much more else in terms of gameplay then it is gonna end up on the shelf real quick when i get my mitts on it and finish it.

The game is resiously going to need more than that to impress me because i have seen this in many games since those days of fighting as Jim Raynor and cursing at Blizzard for leaving me hanging dry after Brood war for so long.

I just hope for god's sake that this works.

im not going through this ENTIRE thread to post a reply to this, after i read it, i had to respond

C&C 4 isnt a remake of any past c&c games with better graphics, they have changed alot of it (maybe too much, we will see) so if SC2 is a starcraft 1 with better graphics and a new story, im happy

New "innovations" can ruin an IP and theres also a reason 1000's of people still play the original starcraft (ok, i admit, 3/4's of them are in korea) what do you seriously expect them to do to "improve" this game while still staying close to the original?

besides which nearly any game coming out now is a copy of something else with "innovations"

Supreme commander 1+2 - total annihilation (yes i know, same people making it)

Prototype - assains creed with guns and mutants

(Console fanboys cheer) halo: odst - Doom with aliens....or half life with no brain

if it isnt broken, dont try an fix it, because ask any online gamer, the game is always better at the beginning, before the community listening dev's ruin it

I have played every Blizzard game but at the same time.. I love the Age Of Empires/Age Of Mythology series to!

Diablo2 and expansion pack is probably my favorite, but Warcraft1/2, Starcraft, Diablo1 and Warcraft3 (to an extent) I really liked alot to! WOW im not a fan of, but I understand why people enjoy it.. I just prefer more Ultima Online type of mmo.

My favorite RTS games though are Dune2 and then a tie between Starcraft, Warcraft2, Age Of Empires, Red Alert2 and Total War series.

*lets see if it works this time lol*

Wow, a REAL gamer in this thread. im Impressed

Did it last night, shoot people through windows helps with this

I think the reason pc gamers are starting to get annoyed is the lack of choice for the platform these days. i went into 2 game shops lately, one of them has reduced the shelf space to a couple of shelves while the other had none as far as i could see.

consoles get console exclusive games like halo 3, gears 2, darksiders while we either get nothing or crappy ports (ninja blade, saints row 2, star wars TFU anyone?)

apparently the developers say this is because of piracy, but since i got my first pc in '94 ive probably got 220-250 games (i dont do trade-ins)after nearly 16 years! But u can get a chippded x-box 360 with 125+ games within a week? (http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6239355.html?sid=6239355)

even the most downloaded demos on gamespot lately are from 2001,2006 and 2007, how can we test them before we buy them with no demos? the system requirements on the back of games doesnt mean alot

Devs get your arse in gear, give us decent games and youll have our support

I have to admit, ive been disapointed with the quality of games the PC are recieving lately, crappy ports because of console releases or unreleased for pc because a half decent PC cant compare to a console (yeah....right)

and my biggest gripe is with lucasarts, the reasons being i recently spent time trying to get x-wing alliance workin, it took time but was worth it. but where are the pc titles from this company, no new x-wing game of which ive own all of them (hehe)ive still got in my cupboard sam n max, day of the tentacle.rebel assault 1&2. ive got dark forces for christs sake. and they cant even port the force unleashed (or do what ubi-soft has done with graw and build the game for the pc ground-up) dont they realise that they cut-off the people who made them who they are today?

apparently its got sumthing to do with the physics, not being funny but Half life 2 had physics while crash bandicoot was still looking for apples. all console gaming has done is make games look pretty while the gameplay is S**t, and this has transfered to pc games,

on my old crap machine, i could play crysis from the day it came out if a bit gittery, but couldnt run timeshift, where everything looks the same.

i know im ranting, but any decent feedback is cool.

if your gonna be pro console please give decent reasons haha only because one i saw on 3dgamers was :"PC's Suck" not good enough haha

Dunno if this has been mentioned before (i aint goin through all 40+ pages), But does anyone else think that X-box has ruined PC gaming?

The PC always ripped playstation consoles apart in graphics and quality in games (eg, we had half life, ps had crash bandicoot)

now since xbox came out we get sub par games with crap graphics (eg crisis kind of runs on my low end comp, while timeshift is unplayable with blocky half-arsed graphics) and instead of getting games at the same time, we have to wait 3 years+ for it to come out on pc and instead of making it a pc game, they just port it, cant even be bothered to change the pop-up buttons for us. "press OTo enter vehicle" im using a keyboard, i dont have an O.

I went to GAME and GAMESTATION last week and instead of having an entire wall for pc games (like they used to) they now have little shelves for them, and they are full of games that 2 people sittin in a basement made with delphi just to make abit of cash.

Im getting fed up. is it just me?
