EPTAnd they are failing pretty badly with multiplayer given the fact that they are trying harder than anyone has ever tried in the history of alpha and beta testing.

Battlenet wise, no chat channels and also horrible UMS system. Starcraft 2 deserves a 7/10 just because of that | ||

So, in the end, SC2 will have more buyers/players, and will still be played 5-10 years from now, while no one will care about MW2 anymore then. | ||

Honestly it feels like reviewers give reviews solely based on hype. MW2 had massive hype. SC2 also had massive hype, but also anti-hype from some sectors (lol). I'd like for 10/10 to actually mean perfect, and I can't think of a perfect game (BW wasn't). | ||

SC2 is the BEST RTS that has ever been released, at least in terms of the single player campaign. The only game that it even on the same level as it in the multi-player sector is the original Starcraft. For a game that is pretty much the best in its genre, a 9/10 is kinda bad. The only thing is SC2 wasn't just meant for the TL community, was it? I can expect favoritism here, true, but that doesn't mean he should be taking his anger out on IGN for a bad score. Plus, I think that these critics aren't reviewing in relative context of strategy games, but more so an absolute scale in context of all games. Don't get me wrong: as a game, I think sc2 is excellent. I thought the single player and multiplayer are both fun. The ladder and achievements in the game motivate the player to play too. But it missed their mark on some features that some people might find key to a game. I've heard my friends complain so many god damn times about the lack of LAN, and confusion over the inability to chat on a channel. (I've already mentioned these) They tell me how "overpowered" they think some race abilities or units are (aka WARP IN OMGOMG THAT'S SO FUCKING OP). Not everyone plays Starcraft to learn build orders and get into it at a competitive level, just like there are casuals in just about every other game. (I will direct you to this: http://nerfnow.com/comic/285 ; the next two comics are also kinda applicable I guess) And these are the people who would try to identify faults at the most basic level, where it would not be a fault in higher levels of play. It's hard to put a single number score on video games for this very reason, just like how I find it hard to put those similar scores on mostly anything. I don't let ratings get to my head so often: for example, I think SMG1 (can't speak for 2 yet) was overrated to a good degree. Plus, many of us disregard these ratings when it comes to memories/nostagia/recommendations (I don't care if it got a 46.5%, I'll fucking love Liberation Day till the end of time) | ||

The point is, you can't convert everyone to share your beliefs. If that were possible... well you can imagine what that would entail | ||

Yes we know the game is better than MW2. And I find it hilarious that you declare the game should get a 10 when a) you don't even give reasons why and b) you haven't even played it. Grow up. How the weather up there on your high horse? | ||
