That's a problem with gaming these days, expansions are becoming as expensive as the full games, especially with the COD series. As much as I love supporting the gaming community and programmers, blizzard is charging 60 dollars a game and it gets pretty expensive after a while. Although I get my moneys worth, in the bigger picture it could turn down the average casual gamer.

This is a joke right? The campaign took hardly any time on brutal (marine/medic lololol) and they're shortening it? As well as pricing it the same as WoL?

Bazinga, Blizzard is making some sick decisions here.


It's not going to be priced the same as WoL, all Blizzard expansions sell for less than the original game. The Amazon price is just Amazon's wild guess.

I spoiled myself on youtube watching some caster go trough all the missions so when i eventually bought the game i got bored of the campain at about the 10th mission, so maybe this is one of the reasons misleading blizzard about why people don't finish...

+ the smurf accounts maybe?

This is the lamest excuse I have ever heard out of any company to cut content, ever.

Seriously why don't they just go ahead and say "Yeah sorry guys but we dicked around too long on making creep growing on buildings so we'll only be able to get about 2/3rds of the missions we had planned on done. Don't worry about it though because the creep looks pretty damn cool, amirite guys?"

Or they could pull an Oblivion and say that all their mission data got wiped and they had to restart. At least then we would feel a bit more sympathetic.

Casual players have short attention spans, I guess. The starcraft story has always been cheesy, but I liked the campaign just for the the upgrade mechanic, there's something wonderful about being so damn overpowered.

I actually liked the campaign length, there was never a point where i was like 'wow, why isn't this over yet..' and i've beaten it multiple times
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

The best part of RTS games is how long they take to complete.

I love taking out a weekend to complete Starcraft or Broodwar every now and again.

It was fine...

Do people really have problems with finishing a 12-20 hour campaign?(numbers atre based on my 1st playthrough)

Meh this is why we never get 300 hour games anymore

Yup.

It's a big problem for Blizzard. How can you justify spending more money on creating a substantial single player campaign when the majority of your players are not using/seeing that content?

I'm more concerned about difficulty and quality rather than length.
If there's only 10 missions but they're incredibly challenging on brutal then that's fine by me.
The problem is I fear it'll be 17 easy warmup missions then maybe a few that are actually fun at the end.

really enjoyed the missions, thought they were creative and well done. Didn't seem at all too long.

People who didn't play through the campaign either only care about multiplayer, or aren't the target audience of an RTS to begin with. Or part of some minority that Blizzard shouldn't mind.

Content is always good as long as the players feel like they did something worth while and enjoyable.

Predictable 2D characters and uninteresting storyline.
Blizzard complain not enough people play it.
Blizzard shorten campaign so more people play it.

Ahhh blizzard.

SC2 was the first RTS game I had ever played. I thought the length of the missions allowed me to learn the game play & mechanics so when I got the last missions I knew what to do. I would have liked even more missions since playing through the game a second time wasn't nearly as challenging or rewarding.

First time I ever played starcraft, did almost all missions on hard, rest on normal.
Too short campaign =(

Yes, cinematics were incredible. Campaign itself didn't feel too long at all. But it doesn't suprise me - after all this ridiculously short games like CoD even Blizzard can't amaze me by their decisions. It's just sad.

What? The campaign felt short and rushed and I didnt even one shot everything because I was doing the missions on brutal difficulty right away. Now Blizzard wants to make it even shorter in HotS??
