Ok so there was a thread about Single Player or Multi First and I was suprised about how many people on TL are really looking forward to Single Player. I am just wondering what people think on a few questions about Single Player.
When will you play SP? Will you play SP?

If anyone else has polls regarding SP they want to see I will add them

i dont know why people would wanna play on insane since i really dont think playing campaign on insane will help you with your multiplayer game. so i would just play on normal.
I always find the zerg story is a little more interesting since its so dark and mysterious. maybe im bias. terran story is usually more dirty and greedy. protoss story is more courage and honor type stuff. Well thats what i encountered playing SCBW anyways.

Believe it or not, my main focus on this game and hype is the singleplayer. I really want to see if Blizzard can deliver an experience that can be set aside some of the best SP games. They said this is the first time they've really focused on SP as a stand-alone product. With WC3 and SC, they said, they were only aiming to really train the player for multiplayer. This is not the case with Starcraft 2 apparently.
I'm really hoping there will be a great story with twists and turns and a ton of variety in the missions.
MP is what will keep me coming back though. But I think the SP will have the largest lasting impression on me if it is done correctly.

Its for the Challenge i always play on the hardest difficulty just for the little joy it gives you at the end after pulling your hair out for hours on end
|
about the campain part, im not looking forward to anyone particular, but i realy REALY hope they make awesome cliffhangers between them so you just cant w8 to play the next one!
|
I will probably play through the campaign before multiplayer. Blizzard always does a great job with their story lines, and single player portions of their games, so it would be to a shame to overlook it. I will probably play through on the hardest difficulty available. I suppose, as a T player, I'm looking forward to WoL the most.

EDIT: Sorry, my bad.
I'd pick Insane, just for fun and of course, the challenge :D Or maybe Brutal so I can get bonus material (will probably be a lot of it) easier and at the same time not ruin the fun.
|
Insane > Brutal if you read the whole post you would see it is in there
|
gotta play through at least once for the storyline, even though sc's storyline is weak compared to alot of newer games
|
Where is the classic option of "I'll cheat first" lol.
That said I don't plan to cheat and I'll probably play on normal planning and switching back and forth. I think I understand how to play RTS games now compared to 10 years ago. Agreed that Zerg campaign always seems most interesting, Kerrigan gets some of the best lines in the entire game really.
I wouldn't even touch multiplayer until I beat the campaign if I didn't want to get into contact with some friends from WC3.
|
It would take a realllly cool and hard to get portrait to get me to play campaign first.
|
I have a high view of TL and think most posters are above cheating

Weak? Are you kidding me?

Examples?

Well I'll personally be playing a lot of campaign when the game launches - obviously I will want to keep my MP skills competent, but after so many months of Beta, SP is really what I want to see. Sure the MP component is fun and all, but the SP is really what I've personally been looking forward to with the launch of SC2. Don't get me wrong, I'm a high plat/low diamond player I take the MP fairly seriously, but since I've had beta MP is more like something that is there and is fun (and will be the primary source of my SC2 playtime), but SP is the content I really want to see.
Weak storyline? Check out Modern Warfare 2 - that's a weak storyline. Government agents go on mission, psychopath tries to take of the world, government agents get framed and try to stop them. If that isn't the most boring re-hashed storyline ever I don't know what is. SC on the other hand? Far from it.

Legacy of the Void? The Protoss/Third game?

I'm most looking forward to the Protoss one because then the whole game will out (Yay!!) be with all the probable MP changes (units, mechanics, whatever) and the MP's real development cycle for the playerbase will begin.
|
Single player first for sure. There's like 30 levels so I dunno if I would finish it in one go before playing multiplayer.
