This is a rant blog, I apologize for my strong opinions, but they are opinions none the less - So if a moderator decides to ban me so be it. Let me just begin by saying like many other nerds I was obsessed with Starcraft2, the long wait only fueled this obsession, and the blizzard hype didn't help either. Basically after playing Starcraft2 I had these thoughts which I wrote in my community website:

Screw Starcraft2 I rather play with my shit. The game is not actually that bad its just that the game was overly hyped and that made me obsessed and most of us obsessed. I could no longer think of anything other then Starcraft2 - In hindsight I think no matter how good the game or bad the game turned out to be I would have disappointed -. I hate blizzard for their practices, they are like parasites feeding on us (nerds) they excessively hype all their games (WOW anyone? - was waiting for WoW for 2years). Looking back I see I wasted my life and energy reading/watching/waiting for this game and for what! Its nothing revolutionary - even if it was i think I am more disappointed at myself!, it won't cure cancer, its not a magical phenomena, It is just a game!

Basically I have never been so disappointing and let down in my life. What was I thinking. It is not the "next-coming"!/

I am happy now that I have played few games, I can put Starcraft2 behind me and free myself from the mental cuffs. This experience has at lest made me realize that i need prioritize my life and focus more on what really matters in life.

Finally I will no longer need rush to check my battle.net / email account the first in the morning to see I have been been chosen for beta. Nor will I need to sit in front of the monitor pressing f5 keys every 5mins. And finally I won't need to log on my cellphone to check I have received email from blizzard the last thing i do before I close eyes in my bed.

Screw you Blizzard
Screw the Modern day cartoonist graphics
Screw the 3d engines
Screw the high quality detailed textures
/ Rant OFF

Long Live Starcraft1 and Quakelive
Sorry for my typos/ grammar / punctuations in advance.

Not dissapointed at all with Starcraft 2 myself, this has passed my expectations.

Although it sounds like you just crossed a major obstacle in your life.

The game is not that bad. I am actually angry and frustrated towards the journey (the wait, the obsession) which created surreal expectation and took away a chunk of my life thus bringing me to the point of realization that it is just a game, a hobby, - unless you are a pro-gamer.

Game is meant to release stress, and not be the cause of it.

I more angry towards myself.

I think it's good for modern 3d rts, which is a genre I despice. The people that like it just because it has starcraft in it's name will quit within 1-2 years.

To me it just feels like I'm playing a weird looking not as good version of starcraft with new units.

Yah, I guess you're disappointed that SC2 didn't cure AIDS.

Too bad, so sad.

This.

Also the gameplay I've been watching looks soooo much slower and clunkier. I don't have a beta key and I haven't played, but from what I've seen I'd rather stick with BW

lol?
In what way did WoW fail to meet expectations? I can see why people would whine about the expansions, but how was classic overhyped?
