preordered it. I am excited for it I have the beta and it is fun, but I think the game has a lot of work. At least the clan support and social stuff got better. And the story should be fun to play, blizzard can tell a good story usually. And if the MP loses my interest well I have dota2 and black ops II lol.


+ Show Spoiler +
I think that everyone who loves sc will end up buying it, it seems silly to sick to WoL when the new expansion is out and everyone will be playing that.

Pre-ordered it, and have been playing beta for a while.

It's a pretty terrible game(as is wol), but there's nothing else to play, so yeah..

Pre-ordered as soon as it was out for pre-order in EU.
I already had received a beta-key very early on,
and it was and is way more fun then WoL,
way less 3base turtlemax bullshit in my experience.

$40 is not much but I'm not a big fan of what Blizzard is currently doing with SC2. I don't think it's worth it.

That said, I have close to $250 in Bnet funds from D3 but my WoW guild disbanded last year. That money was planned to pay for my subscription and it's going nowhere, so why not? I'm only going to play the campaign if I get it, though.

I'm getting the collector's edition. It'll look great next to the WoL one, and I am looking for a SC collector's edition that is in half decent shape.
Here's a beat up version, still pretty cool though.

Edit:
Is this the Brood War one? Or just some image someone created? Looks pretty slick.

Bought it because I can't not...

However, I won't be playing it for serious 1v1's. Game is too gimmicky right now... Will probably just mess around with friends on it.

lol clearly you don't know shit about how many people and how much effort does it cost to make a game.


Well, talking about HotS, no, there is definetly very little effort, most of the upgrades were just easy to make, design? Not really. Graphics? No. UI and random stats? Easy, most of it required good ideas, that were already in Warcraft 3 or suggested by the community. Only thing is the campain, and even then, they never delivered something that required a lot of work in solo player, so no, the price is too high, clearly, you dont realize how easy it was for them to "upgrade" WoL...

Not sure if it's worth the money... was hoping for a $20-$25 expansion :T


That's the price of DLCs these days, not expansions. :/
HotS is a full campaign, with all the CGI cinematics. I think it's already a miracle they didn't find a way to sell it 60 bucks.

No, at least not on release day. 40$ for THAT is so not worth it. But I will be following the tournaments to see the HotS meta. If I like what I see, I might buy it sooner, if it stays like it is on streams I'll get it on discount for Xmas or when prices drop.

i would pay like 100$ for it (and i probably will cause i will buy the collectors edition which is like 70€ which are 100$^^). compare it to go to a movie, there you pay like 10$ for 2h, i guess hots will give you more than 8h of entertainment

Buying some wonky new Starcraft-like game for that price just doesn't seem worth it to me.

Does the 30% of people who aren't sure if they're going to buy it include the BW and DotA2 crowd?

If people expect to stick to Wings after HotS is out, it's just not going to happen. However you feel about the new expansion, nobody will even be thinking about vanilla SC2 after it's out. It's like SC and BW.

Too many people with the angsty "I'm not buying it until Blizzard fixes it the way I want it!" attitude. They'll cave after a week or two. Would you really consider WoL's original price point to be too extreme for the amount of entertainment it's provided over the years?

You underestimate the amount of work needed to create the campaign, by a lot.

I see what you are saying, but it's not too many, to be honest. How many was that, three or four hundreds? Blizzard counts sales in millions. Those 4 hundreds not buying is a totally insignificant amount. And that's assuming they are really not buying.
