These shots look great, they get better and better every time. I love the shield animation on the colossus and I hope they keep that for all toss units, if a little less profound. The minerals the drones are holding look too big and out of place, but I have no doubts the fine developers at blizzard work on the art every single day. I am so. fucking. excited. | ||

(For example in BR2 it says "Xel'Naga Watch T..." because it's bold, and doesn't fit into the line.) This here is also bold. What does that mean? | ||

The queen is easy to differentiate from him. Nobody cares that you think the infestor is perfect, or that you think the queen is easy to differentiate. You must state why, otherwise you've wasted the reader's time. I guess you could look at your sentence as stating that the infestor is perfect because it's easy to differentiate from the queen, but that makes little sense. In that case, the infestor might as well be rainbow-colored. - Otherway, I found the new ghost much more harder to differentiate from a marine. If i had not read the comments here i would never noticed it. I guess it's a valid point that you find it hard to differentiate, however you may want to work this problem out yourself instead of suggesting it could be a problem on Blizzard's end. Nobody else has a hard time finding him; also, looking at units in still shots is much different from looking at them in action. They're easier to tell apart when playing, especially after you've been playing for a while. - New mutas freaking awesome. Much more creepier and badass look. I agree. - Battlecruiser resembles a SD (super Deformed) toy Value judgement. Why? How would you change it? - Broodlings appear to be flying, as they are hovering above the cliff. Already stated. - New hydra art is awesome, the tail with team color is good to help in diferentiation Good point, but I don't think it has changed recently. Could be wrong. - New broodlord demands a rework urgent. Noone like it. When saw from behind its ok, resembles a Manta Ray, but from the front its like a bad made Guardian (guardians must be crab like) The problem in this part sums up why I don't like your post. You're presenting your opinion as if it is a meta-opinion that can take every other opinion before it and present it as something new and more valuable. Your having said that I should just ignore what you say if I don't like it isn't getting to the root of the problem. It's not that I don't like your opinions, it's that the post is a waste of space - for the most part. You're putting together the post as if it were informative, separate from every other post before it... but it isn't. Then you say that the content isn't meant to be judged. If you're just writing a post to scribble down as many personal thoughts as possible without regard for how much value the content has, then you shouldn't be posting in a forum. That is blog material. Forum posts need to include the 'why's and even more so, valid talking points that haven't yet been stated. If something has already been stated, then you're contributing nothing by re-stating it; you should reply to the person/people who stated it in the first place and provide more points or counter-points. If that isn't necessary or you don't want to do that, then don't post at all. My god. | ||

But unlike you toward I, I care about you! Because I care, I'll explain it to you: a: blah blah blah b: pffft <-- me with typical tl.net post! a: you don't know what you're talking about b: I do, and this is why <-- the post you're so interested in! I could've just left it a sarcastic one-liner (as my original post in this thread was), but hell, why not expand on my reason after being called out? It was only due. Do I have anything better to do with my time? Probably. It's just a peeve when forum users take it upon themselves to write a summary of everybody else's opinions, including pointless observations, and present it as their own meta-contribution. Like I said (though I doubt you read so far before hitting 'quote'), I didn't hate the user's opinions. I was making a general point about posting on a forum, which I knew would draw criticism from people like yourself and didn't mind it one bit  Your telling me to "get over myself" is just hilarious for too many philosophical AND personal reasons. I could expand on that, but I get the feeling you're not fond of the idea. | ||

i'm excited because this art, while obviously not final, is a beautiful direction. the fine folks at blizzard have a great canvas from which to make a beautiful sequel to our beloved game. any artist knows how hard it is to publish something that is not complete, so the fact they give us screen shots in the first place is awesome. they know they aren't polished. they aren't releasing the game tomorrow. i'm so fucking excited for this game. | ||

I don't see how it's possible to have too much of an ego and not enough confidence, but if you say so. BTW you're doing exactly what I did, except with a few personal insults thrown in  . I'm curious to see what the zerg look like in action these days. Screenshots always look like an indescribable mess but the battle reports so far have been pretty good at clearing that up. I think that, also, it'll be easier to tell what's what in mid-battle after having played it for a while. The first time I saw progamers play SC I had no idea what I was looking at; was used to the single player campaign where I would just mass one type of unit and hope it worked. | ||

Coloring issue with Zerg. Some are really dark and some are a bit bright. also I don't like the zerglings now, i liked them in BR2... unless im clearly blind and they havent changed them... but if they did.. i liked them then.. its because they didnt look like cockroaches | ||

Well, i laugh so hard when i saw this Ive directed my post to the good SC2 community, and like all of them, i said what i think of the screens. A person as bad mannered as you has some serious mental problems, and since im not a doctor i will not lose my time trying to cure you, its useless. If you are really in need of attention please dont come get it here. You acted so unproprortionally, that you post is one of the more ridiculous ive saw in months here on TL. Read the replies nice guy, you are alone. Whine, whine louder as you can. Perhaps you die and save us of shit like you posted above. edit: unlike you, ill not try to make this thread into me VS you, so if you have anything not constructive to say to the topic, PM me instead. | ||

If ANYTHING is a waste of space, it's your posts. First a one liner that serves no purpose other than to derail the thread, second a gigantic - and further derailing - post serving.. what purpose exactly? It's a thread about screenshots, he posted what he thought about them. That's what generally happens in these threads --; You're presenting your opinion as if it is a meta-opinion that can take every other opinion before it and present it as something new and more valuable. He's what now? Care to show me which part of his post - which he labeled "My impressions" - you are refering to? Kindly stop trolling. | ||
