It basically received universal praise upon release, was applauded for the campaign, the interface, the gameplay and the multiplayer, and got some minor criticism about the mediocre graphics. The only critics / magazines that rated otherwise were those that would write non-mainstream reviews all the time anyway to "not go with the masses". (I know all that because our cellar was flooded some weeks ago, I had to move everything out and took the time to read some old computer magazines, some of which were from 1998 and happened to include StarCraft reviews). | ||

He's talking about the first reveal when it was completely different from the SC that we know now, and people just brushed it off as a "warcraft in space". | ||

If that actually is the case (not sure about it - if not, what I've written above applies), then we're talking about comparing pre-alpha stage StarCraft 1 to already-released Achron ... which makes no sense at all. | ||

To be honest, so far i have seen very few mediocre reviews. There are some saying this game is very good, and others saying it is very bad. But strangely enough not many in between. | ||

Achron is made by a two man dev and community submissions. If they had a fraction of the budget blizzard had for SC2 then we'd see a different game. The mechanics are there and it plays well enough to show that it works. all it needs is polish and a dedicated community then we'll see a revolution in gaming. | ||

I don't know if it's worth that much money, i'd rather see it in the 10 euro range, but it's definatly not a bad game once you grasp the mechanics. However, i can't see a competitive scene developing for it due to the too complex time mechanics and uninteresting graphics. | ||

He said it had a weak response when it was first (keyword) unveiled. And no that wouldn't make sense. What also doesn't make sense is why you are putting words in his mouth. | ||

When Starcraft 1 was first "unveiled" it was the pre alpha version (SC1 was using the WC2 engine with purple graphics for the most part) hence it's weak response. They then changed it to its own engine and updated the game immensely from that point on (so that it was no longer just purple Warcraft in Space). | ||
