Now you have a multiplayer! :D

To play with*

i only ever played multiplayer with friends vs friends i dont like the hyper competitive mindset of battle.net
and found custom maps much more enjoyable.. so ill wait for people to make more of those

I'm with you on that!
I only want the game for the map maker xD

I understand they DO have unranked matches on bnet. You could probably find some folks there who aren't hyper-competitive. Just a thought...

so no 40+ time as they claimed in single player?

40+ as in hours? lol hell no... ud only push 40 if u went back to redo missions to get more creds to fully upgrade ur troops... which is retarded

Unless you're playing it through in brutal difficulty. :D

the pricetag for 60€ isint sounding reat ,and i sadly suspect they will charge 50-60 eath ofr the expantions allso, for the ip is so popular and theyc an slap any prietag on it and people still buys it.

its Kotick's work as its best...

they want to squeeze as much money from every sucker, anyway, I will only buy the first and go CAPTAIN MORGAN on the rest :P

Screw the multiplayer?

Mmkay...

While StarCraft 2 is a great game (even arguably better than the first, mmmm beta), I don't particularly plan on getting it. WoW was Blizzard's beginning of the downfall, and with Activision in charge, I honestly have no want to support them anymore. I would be getting StarCraft 2, but my friends also think we'd be better off not going the money to Activision. Eventually people will realize, and Activision will have to change. Until then we just have to help Valve show that we want a company that puts customers ahead of profit.

Totaly what you say! I mean Blizzard games never fail to entertain, but they seem to aim for "milking the players" more, then making a game for the gamers. I mean they sure did a lot of changing in the story of WoW (killing of every powerful person they can kill.), yet all they improve is to achive more and more, Diablo 3 is a c0cktease (If I had one, it would feel so too.), and Starcaft 2 is divided in 3 seperate game...Giving out $ for a not rewarding experience is lame.

So you choose Valve? Interesting. I think Valve games are good, but I only played with Portal...and it rocked! It was simple, original, and highly entertaining! Not much of the re-play value in a short time, and deffinatly not a money-milker, but it was the best game in the year it came out! I can't wait for Portal 2!
So I fully support your oppinion there...even if I love(d) Blizzard games.

Blizzard was my favorite company, but WoW wasn't fun, and since the Activision merge they're kind of sucking now.

I don't particularly like Valve games. I loved Half-Life, didn't like Half-Life 2, or Episode 1, but Episode 2 was nice at the end. Don't like CS:S, Portal was great but has zero replay, and TF2 is actually pretty good. L4D is awesome, but L4D2 isn't as good so I don't like it. Honestly Blizzard has a way better good games:bad games ratio at like 7:1, but Valve as a company is better.

I recall to played with L4D, and it was a unique gameplay experience. Never did play with L4D2. I'm a Diablo 2 fan(girl), so I hope D3 isn't getting lame. As far, as the gameplay videos are shoving, it has what it takes. Also own my own official copy of D1, D2 Warcraft 2-3, Starcraft 1+Exp...That made me a Blizzgamer. But with WoW I already had a bad feeling. It was an entertaining game, but the repetative chores and the monthly fees made it lame after a year, not to mention the storyline. I was loving the detailed story of WoW and then they go and screw it over for a stupid game's sake. As far as I'm able to judge for myself, Diablo 2 + LOD is their most awesome game- It's free, it's HIGHLY addictive and repetative, but also randomized, and it's story was epic. Let's see if Starcraft2 has the story to step next to it, because Starcraft 1 sure did it! Those were the days!

MMORPGs were my favorite kind of game around the time WoW was released, and well after it was. Ever since I quit Ragnarok for good though, I don't play them anymore. Once you've played the best with all your friends for so long, it's hard to enjoy something not as good with only a couple friends.

Personally my friends and I have been playing through Diablo 2 again lately, but thanks to random shit happening (2 dead computers) and vacations, in over a month we're not even halfway through act 3.

manny never meantion it but i have to do now and tha tis dawn of war, for i found the first games collection to be rock solid and even a tad better then blizzards games, theo it might be as you can playt eh game ower again with every single fraction and se their story.

I will have to see the game for myself. 3 seperate game idea was lame, I already know that. It has the "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" feeling in it. No satisfactory ending for a game makes it a bad game! Still Life had that too. You chase after the killer, untill the end of the game, and you have a really good idea, who it is, and then it ends with the killer shoot into the river, never to be found. They said they will continue the story in Still Life 2...but the company was gone bankrupt. So There we got a relatively good game with no ending...After some years latter they announced Still Life 2 to be resurected (It's out now) but during the years of sillance, I thought it was the worst of games, because it had no ending.

So if you say, that the ending here s*cks as well, then i'm looking more forward to the gameplay. I hope the experience of going to spacewar will be satisfactory!

I stopped reading when you mentioned ending. My question is this, hw is the campaign?

So is there a LAN mode or not? I want to be able to play with friends wothout the internetz...

you cant even start the game without internet

f***ing crap.....atupid activision(blizzard merger.

leme know if you find a actuall pc game nowdays that will

I'm interested in it, but i'll wait untill Blizzzard follows their time-honored tradition of "The Battlechest", where i can get all three campaigns in one bundle... I like RTS, but again, i play for teh single player story mode, and if i do multiplayer, it's usually with one or two friends vs a comp.

i do agree that blizzard has been on a steady decline since the First WoW expansion... Though, i did not know they merged with activision, which somewhat explains the "patronizing the player" feeling i've been getting on WoW since Wrath came out. (Not going to get into the whole "RealID/Facebook integration" trainwreck here...) but i think Blizzard's main concern has shifted to making money and fame, and they're not focusing on what their players are after... I played EVE for a while and i remember times when at least once a month i'd log in and get a survey: "has your gaming experience gotten better or worse? what woudl you like to see in any upcoming changes?" i know that they probably don't read -every- survey personally... but it's nice to be able to give feedback without having to rifle through 150 billion development forum posts just to find a thread with an idea that you like and go "Yes i support this change!"... only to be ignored on it because the Roleplaying community on WoW isn't the major playerbase.

i think Blizzard could do better... but they're not beyond All hope for redemption... *Cough*SquareEnix*Cough*
