cough splutter, snatched from an amazon review is this true?
"this is only a third of the game, the first part of three. You can only play the Terran campaign. The Zerg and the Protoss campaigns will be released independently later "

as far as I know, that's true

I played against a friend of mine who's korean american and he was almost as fast. tbh I don't think it's difficult to achieve that level, you just need to be willing to put in the time to slog through all those practice sessions. it's not really any different from being really good at touch typing or any other kind of twitch gaming.

Starcraft II being a 3logy is old news y'all! The full game is shipping multi-wise though, I think the later installments are going to be just single-player with additions to multi kind of like expansion packs. Except that they're gonna charge full price for each and make them standalone. Blizzard's not used to not making a trillion dollars on every release, see.

Wouldnt be surprised if there were missions in the human campaign where you can control the other races' units.
― mayor jingleberries, Tuesday, 27 July 2010 19:51 (thirteen years ago) link
is this really $60?? wtf :|
― You’re going off of her word that the farmer’s wife is the farmer’s wife? (dyao), Tuesday, 27 July 2010 20:14 (thirteen years ago) link
so only $180 for the whole thing
― kim cardassian (s1ocki), Tuesday, 27 July 2010 20:16 (thirteen years ago) link
but think of the value! and think about $180 in comparison to the inevitable charges you will inevitably incur playing world of starcraft!
SAVINGS.

I still think they should have made a third WoW faction out of fugitive Protoss/Zerg/Terrans

So I got pumped about getting a new computer game and it runs like shit on my machine.
Seriously nothing has changed for 20 goddamn years.

d/ling the trial version now. Will probably finish just with the install by tomorrow evening.

you get a friend who ponied up the dough for it to give you a "guest code" or somesuch

this game is so great! bear in mind i hate multiplayer and will probably never do anything except the single-player campaign.
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Friday, 30 July 2010 07:55 (thirteen years ago) link
i feel the exact opposite about the single player, i feel like they missed so much fo what has made SP storytellnig better in games over the past... how long ago did HL2 come out? 10 years?
seriously, why is everything in a goddamn cutscene? the in-between levels shit feels almost liek sam and max in its "i guess i am doing sometihng, because i click a thing and then i listen for 45 seconds" nonsense (minus the sam and max jokes-ness of it all). TALK TO ME WHILE I'M PLAYING. it's not insanely hard. to be fair i'm 3 missions in but i have decided i don't give an eff about the cutscenes already, and i am kind of not that dude usually. now i'm pissed that i am missing all of the (enthralling, i'm sure) story.

will this run on my old macbook pro? tf2 is barely playable even with a ton of custom config stuff, hl2 is ok tho
― ▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼ (LOLK), Friday, 30 July 2010 15:35 (thirteen years ago) link
probably not
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Friday, 30 July 2010 19:37 (thirteen years ago) link
it might run, but prob not well enough for multiplayer and that's where the fun's at
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Friday, 30 July 2010 19:38 (thirteen years ago) link
I am playing it on a 2006 macbook pro and it runs fine on low settings

I have to say I really like the trial mode for this- just got a code from a friend, and it looks like it's the whole damn game, just locked to 7 hours of play. Downloading now.
― a black white asian pine ghost who is fake (Telephone thing), Saturday, 31 July 2010 00:19 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, i think trial mode is the whole game. my b.net name is Karl if anyone wants to add me, i just play it at my friend's house tho, so i'm not on that often.
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Saturday, 31 July 2010 00:59 (thirteen years ago) link
I think to add people you need either:a) their b.net name AND code (you see your own when you bring up your friends menu)ORb) their email addy

Now that I've played more than a hundred games of multiplayer, I find myself falling into a rut of the same build order over and over. I just tried a Marine/Thor combination just to shake things up a bit. Didn't really work.
― calstars, Saturday, 31 July 2010 21:56 (thirteen years ago) link
Um. Wow. Not a multiplayer guy, at least for RTSs, but the single-player in this is great fun. The writing is pretty weak, but the production values are outstanding- you can really see where the gajillion dollars of Warcraft money went.

I'm right in the middle of the gold league, which just shows how many newbies there are out there ( or rusty sc1 vets). During the beta I was in the copper league, 2 divisions below.
