Well for some of the people here buying SC2 means having to upgrade thier old assed BW computers. That could cost anywhere between 500 and 1500, so for them its not just about single player or UMS. Its not the 50 bucks for the game its the high cost of upgrading ur system that makes the whole thing not worth it.

Bnet is terrible much of the time right now, but it'll improve. I have confidence in that. Even if it doesn't though, I'm still really looking forward to the single player mode. That looks like a lot of fun. I determined I was buying this game as soon as I heard the announcement a couple of years back.

I'm definitely buying it. SC2 is far too good to pass up, after BW it's clearly the best RTS game I've ever spent time on. Too bad the platform is as good as playing Ice Hockey on a fucking grass field.

No. It's the main community of StarCraft.

And yes, I won't be buying the game if Battle Net doesn't get fixed. To be able to play the game I would need a new computer, and won't be buying one for something as impossibly dumb as the current Battle Net.

WTF kid Paramore, TL is not community of SC2. TL is community of people that share same interests and it was established around SC1. Actually many people that joined just because of SC2 bringing TL level down.

on topic: In my life, I reached the position when i just can't sit around and play games anymore. I am not happy about it, but even if i try to play a bit - it doesn't satisfy me as much as before. So i am not going to buy SC2. Also this gateway problem sux hard and Blizzard should do something about it. I feel with people from Australia and NZ - that must suck heavily.

Yea it looks amazing.

But do you think they're gonna make it anything like D2?
It's gonna be one huge casual fest like WoW, and also on bnet 2.0 with no chatrooms and facebook integration DAMN.

I'm definitely gonna buy it, but i'll feel way more justified/entitled to whine about features that I think should be apart of the game

I will buy it just becuase its an RTS from blizzard pretty much. Although im looking forward to Diablo III much more. SC2 will still be an amazing game even if tanks are still crazy overpowered at launch.

I suspect the starcraft games will end up in a similar situation as counterstrike 1.6 and source; Starcraft BW will be regarded as the 'true test of skill' game and SC2 will be the flashy-prettier one that changed the core mechanics of the game.

I'm going to buy it, my APM is so-so and SC2 I feel like I can execute my battle plans without having to worry so much about remembering to make workers mine and 10 hotkeys.

The only reason I have for not buying SC2 at this point is that my computer is not strong enough to run it. I'll probably buy it at a later date when the game has been marked down or first expansion is out. I would have wanted all the obvious features that are currently missing, but it's not enough to keep me from buying.

No I won't buy this game

The game is excellent, and I can't wait for the campaigns.

BNet 2 needs some work, but the problems it has aren't enough to keep me from buying the game, because the ACTUAL game (the important thing! gasp!) is actually fun.

I do not like the current state but it still is better than 99% of games coming out. So, yes.

I don't get why everyone is so hardcore about staying with SC1. I mean, yea the game was fucking amazing, with an incredible skill ceiling. But isn't it time to move on? It's been like 12 years. Updated graphics and physics engine isn't a bad thing. Sure we have MBS and automine etc..but all that does in reality is take away the monotonous activities like sending EVERY scv to minerals EVERY game. In the end i think after 1-2 years when SC2 is balanced we will all forgot about SC1.

Have faith in blizzard xD

I'll buy it because I still have a glimmer of hope that Blizzard will redeem themselves with future patches and/or the expansion. However, I will not continue to play SC2 if the BNET 2.0 service continues to stand in the way of proper interactive play (in other words in its current state I can't see my interest lasting more than a year to a year and a half). I'm actually rather disappointed that Blizzard, the one company I thought that actually understood how to make proper gaming communities has gone so far off the track with BN 2.0.

I am buying it cuz it's being released on my birthday.

And I DO want to find out what's going on in the Starcraft universe.

As for multiplayer, we'll see.

Well, sc2 is a pretty good game, I sort of like it, but I won't buy it, because I only buy a game if I absolutely love it :}.
