Much more APM(actions per minute) than real strategy
Though after playing it mostly online for some time i couldnt find the strategy.i just saw my opponents creating 100 units in 10 minutes and thats it, game was over.Then i searched google and read that this is done by very high apm(or sitting on computer and pressing the buttons like you will miss a train or something).Sorry but this is not even close to strategy, its just "create 100 units in 10 mins and rush"(also dont move from your desk for more than 5 secs or game is over).Is this the "amazing" gameplay all people say that this game has?In my opinion this is not strategic gameplay but just a very fast buttons pressing.
lets say about the other areas that may deserve a good score so this game would deserve this score that rarely a game gets regardless how revolutionary it is for its genre.
First i say for the graphics,well its not that amazing i have seen WAY better in other games(company of heroes,command and conquer 2 etc) and i exclude the fact that these games are older than sc2.
Lets say realism...well this game is not that realistic, i didnt find anything that is very realistic in this game.The only "realistic" may be when the buildings are being burned they slowly lose life.Also units(including "strong" units like thors or colossus) die like they are made from paper.
What i really like in this games is that it doesnt have bugs(or at least bugs that can easily be seen) and can be played on every pc.
Apart from that though this game is just a recycled recipe of first starcraft with better graphics(though not that good for todays standarts).
So why this 9.5 score and 9.1 score from the users?I really dont know but i assume its something like Call of Duty or WoW which in my opinion are 2 of the most overrated games in game history.So people give good scores and say "best strategy game","king of strategy" and such comments without
even to think a bit if this game deserve these scores.
My score(7.5) is for story as its interesting,that are many people to play online,for the mods and the 2 things i meantioned before.
To sum up:If you play like a nerd with crazy apm you will love this game.If you play like a normal person you wont see any revolutionary and you will see that its just another average rts and its drastically overrated.This game may be fun for the mods
but it doesnt have anything revolutionary for the 12 years of its development.
