Agreed. The game is not innovative, it's the same shit as SC1 except way easier to play (so far) and in 3d. And I'd add that I feel cheated by ActivisionBlizzard's "monetization" plans for SC. Cheated is probably the lightest word I can find to express how I feel as a gamer towards what their behavior means for the industry. | ||

Wow, are you being sarcastic? You dont think we should fight the oppression Blizzard is trying to force on us? As for the pole, ive been saying for a while now: I will pirate it for at least one month before I purchases it (if not longer). So not sure what to vote. | ||

OF COURSE everyone here is going to buy the game come hell or high water. There is zero chance that you're going to sit at home, boycotting the most anticipated game of this century. There is no way that you even have this much interest in the game, to even go to a site like this, to say "nope, because of a few small things like ooh chat channels or cross realm play" I'm not going to buy this game. Waah. Give me a break. You're going to buy it, and you're going to give Blizzard your money. Don't try to deny it. When all your friends are playing this game, having fun, you're going to sit home and shout that it doesn't have chat rooms? When you're watching Irda and the pro korea esports league host games on B.net without flaw, you're still going to complain about no chat channels and not buy this game? You're going to buy it, end of story. Threads like these aren't indicative of anything real. The only reason you're posting on a "Starcraft pro gaming forum" is to get attention. Everyone is going to buy it. | ||

Everyone is going to buy it. Ironic that you try to call this out as attention grabbing when you're the only one trolling here. A lot of us still watch, play, and enjoy BW. We *gasp* even talk about the game and it's pro scene on these very forums. Why buy a game that's going to be inferior to that for years at the very least (and likely forever)? The only even half-reasonable exception is for the campaign / custom maps, and then why pay Blizzard $150+ for the advancement of the storyline when there are hundreds of other developers making similar quality single player content out there and don't try to sell you a game in 3 separate pieces? Anyway, in the end RTS is still 99% about multiplayer. The campaigns just do not have that much replayability. I don't see a reason to buy SC2 until it's multiplayer is significantly improved. | ||

Everyone is going to buy it. This is hilarious. Maybe some people post on a "Starcraft pro gaming forum" because they're interested in Starcraft pro gaming. After all this site was designed to help the community of Western fans of Korean Brood War pro gaming organize its coverage and discussion. Being on this site in no way indicates any interest in Starcraft 2 at all. Sure it'd make sense since the game is in the same franchise as the game whose pro scene we follow, but over half of sub forums and threads on this site are dedicated to topics entirely removed from Starcraft 2. Sure I'll buy it when the situation you illustrate (a flourishing esports scene and/or all my friends playing it) arises, but that hasn't happened (the latter at least is unlikely to happen since like most people, not all my friends are excited about the game or are even gamers in the first place), so there's really no impetus for myself or anyone else unimpressed with the game so far to shell out hard-earned money on it. Statements asserting that the fanbase has the potential to effect change are pretty unsubstantiated, but so are blanket claims like these that all TL posters will buy Starcraft 2. | ||

No less awesome no? Oppression is NOT an exaggeration. Do we have any say in what will go into SC2 or how it looks? Not if it doesnt please Blizzard. Did we VOTE for any Blizzard people to be put into their office as we usually do for our governments? Certainly NOT. So Blizzard IS behaving like the dictatorship it is in fact and we have only two choices: 1. Play the game as it is presented to us by Blizzard OR 2. walk away and play something else. There is a third option too, but I dont think two bad things make it right: 3. Get a cracked version with LAN support and chat channels to play on. Try to look at the world a little more objectively please. NONE of the managers of big companies have been democratically voted for by the people and yet they shape our lives more than the governments (just look at the way TV is influencing us)! That is a fact. | ||

If you don't like it, go post on the blizzard forums and give feedback. If you're butthurt for the lack of cross-realm play, you don't need to buy it. Go post in your blogs about it and stop being so emo. Blizzard is not a dictatorship, they are a company with employees just like you and I. Godwin's law has been invoked, sign that this thread has gone on too long. | ||
