I will be buying it the first day and loving every goddamn second playing through the campaign, use map settings games, and climbing the ladder. I buy games to have fun. As soon as it stops being fun, I quit. It's really that simple. | ||

If you've taken even a small glance at Ulduar, you'd know that they still put tons of effort into WoW, and Cataclysm has so many user-requested features that to call it a money grab is nothing short of a blatant lie. In fact I'd say that Cataclysm is the ultimate "fuck you" to all those who call Blizzard greedy. WotLK did not contain what one would consider NEW content. Vanilla was a brand new game. TBC expanded the game in just about every way. Radical balance chances, arena, a different mount system, a different skill system, a HOST of new features, badges. etc etc. My priests entire tech tree was completely overhauled. Wotlk did not expand the game. The status quo remained just about the same except for the fact that raiding is now easier and the game in general makes it easier for you to acquire things with less time investment. In fact, one dungeon was completely recycled from Vanilla, and another was a reskinned onyxia (with some drakes). Nothing really ENCOMPASSING was added to WotLK besides a new hero class (which still hasn't exactly found a place) and uhh...well that's about it. I played up until my guild completed Ulduar after what.. day 3? Or something... Cataclysm does actually bring a whole host of user-requested features but yea, you pay for a full expansion cost. If Cataclysm actually does turn out they way it's supposed to then you ahve me there. WotLK I won't think otherwise though. The whole WoW thing is irrelevant though I guess, until Bnet 2.0 is actually what one would consider operation I won't buy the game. | ||

Nothing about what you just wrote was "objectively a money grab" as you said. That's completely a subjective judgement. If you choose to define your reality in those terms, go for it. It's not an objective observation, however. I'd refute your points, but this isn't a WoW forum. If your personal bias about the way Blizzard may or may not be run is somehow affecting the way you feel inside of their games then that's unfortunate. If they scrubbed the Blizzard name off of it, and replaced it with "Studio Y" would you feel differently if it was the same product? If they took Starcraft off of it, and replaced it with "Space RTS Z" would that change the way you feel about the gameplay? If the answer to those questions is "yes" then I think you're just wasting too much time getting worked up over things that don't matter. We operate on imperfect information about the inner-workings at Blizzard. We try to wring information from every word of every interview and post they make, because that's what fanboys do. But, it's going a few steps too far if our conjecture as fans gets in the way of making rational judgements about the products we're using. | ||

If there were ever a game worth 60 dollars this was it. All you haters out there still clicked on the client and logged in to play nearly every single day even without the chatrooms, and that is the power of SC2. Won't need to think twice and neither should you all. Buying it. | ||

Now describe what this awesome feature allows you to do, and how it workst, and we compare it to the BN 1.0 way, kk? Just cause you joined TL in 2010 doesn't mean you are ignorant to SC. This game has been out since 1998 and most of the people who play it are NOT on TL. We don't need you pointing out a join date to TL to try and boost your ego because you have been here for X years.

This is Activision Blizzard and now is a new company. So instead of basing that you think this is the best company ever because of all there past games and reputation etc, you might consider basing how well the company is since it merged with Activision, which imo has been down the toilet since then. Or would you disagree and say since Activision bought blizzard, they are a better company. | ||

They could slaughter baby penguins on their lunch breaks, and it wouldn't affect the fact that I think SC2 is fun. Then I'd pretty much assume that the company wasn't going to be around very long after people found out about the penguin slaughter, but SC2 would still be fun. Fun game is fun. If it's not fun, don't buy it. Don't avoid it because one guy somewhere wrote a 10 page post that kinda not really links Blizzard to some guy that a bunch of people say is supposedly the devil. Why let all that get in the way of your visceral reaction to the actual game? Was it fun? Yes. Buy it. | ||

This is less about Blizzard than it is about the amount of attention you gather. A wonder you didn't get banned for promoting piracy. | ||
